***

Ginny sat on her bed, writing in her diary, it was 2:00 am and everyone having been so tired from the ball had gone to bed hours ago, but Ginny couldn't sleep, how could she, after all that had happened that night? She heard Hermione sit up in her bed and turn on her light.

"What are you doing up?" Hermione questioned sleepy

"Oh, I couldn't sleep, so I'm just writing in my diary." Ginny answered

"Everything ok?"

"Oh yeah everything's fine." Ginny whispered

"Ok then." said Hermione turning off her light and getting back into bed. She was asleep in a few seconds.

Though of course everything wasn't ok nothing would ever be ok. Ginny was so upset she felt like screaming 'sure everything's ok, I've only been raped by my brother and I think I'm in love with Draco Malfoy!' but she knew that wouldn't help anything just make things worse. Besides it wasn't Hermione's fault, it wasn't really anyone's fault except Percy's. Oh how she hated her brother. Tears ran down her face, she wiped them on her blankets, she wished Draco was here to comfort her. She turned back to her diary and started writing;

Dear Diary,

He saw it, he was there, why didn't he help me? Didn't he see me struggle, hear my cries for help. I should hate him but I don't, In fact I think I'm in love with him. I was so scared he comforted me, he called me Ginny, he promised to protect me. I fool I may be, but it seemed that he actually cared for me. Oh what nonsense this is, he was doing it for his own good so he wouldn't have to feel sorry for me. But I looked into those eyes, they were but a sapphire glimmering in the night sky, that I could look upon forever. Does he truly care about me? Shall I ever know?

-Ginny

~~~

He knew he should forget about her, but he couldn't put her out of his mind. He felt her pain he wanted to help her, but what could he do? 'Why did life have to be so hard' he wondered. 'Why did he feel so bad for Ginny and when did he start calling her Ginny?' Draco sighed, and lay back down on his bed, he picked up the unread letter from his father and started reading,

Draco,

I'm afraid I have some bad news. Percy Weasley, is to come to do some important ministry business. Damn him. I couldn't figure out what for, just be on the look out, he's a pest and you know how much he hates you. Give him what he deserves no one messes with a Malfoy.

-Your Father Lucius

Draco finished the letter a look of horror on his face. Ginny he thought. Percy was coming to Hogwarts for Ginny. Draco had to warn her, he had to do something!

~~~

Ginny yawned, She hadn't slept well at all. She glanced over a Hermione's bed it was empty, she was probably at Breakfast. Ginny got up dressed and headed down to the Great Hall, she was happy to find Hermione sitting at the Gryffindor table talking to Harry and Ron. "Hey 'Mione" she said sitting down.

"Good morning Gin, did you sleep well?" Hermione answered

"Yeah I slept ok, I guess." Ginny lied, helping herself to some toast

"That's good"

"Yeah" Ginny couldn't stop herself she glanced over at the Slytherin table, she saw Draco. He looked at her, she smiled weakly and turned back to the conversation happening at the Gryffindor table. She buttered her toast listening intently.

"Wasn't the ball great?" asked Harry. Ron and Hermione both nodded.

"It was ok" said Ginny

"Gin, where were you? I didn't see you most of the night, I would have liked a dance." Harry said. Ginny blushed.

"Umm, well I was outside it was a beautiful night you know." Ginny answered. Harry gave her an odd look. Ginny pretended to laugh.

"What you don't believe me?" she questioned

"It's not that, I was just worried that's all, wouldn't want anything to happen to one of my best friends." Harry said putting his arm on her shoulder. Ginny flinched 'Percy always did that she thought'. Harry looked surprised, 'something must be wrong' he thought, she's hasn't been her usual self lately, not since Christmas at least.'

"Is everything alright Gin?" Harry asked concerned

"Oh everything's fine" Ginny lied again. She felt like crying, 'she had to get out of here' she thought. "I'm going to head to the library, I'll see you around. She waved and left the Great Hall. Draco seeing Ginny leave he immediately excused himself from the Slytherin table and followed her. Ginny slipped her bag over her shoulder and wandering off towards the library. Little did she know that as she did, she dropped her diary leaving it in the middle of the floor.

~~~

A few minutes Draco wandered by he couldn't see where Ginny was. He would have to find another time to tell her the bad news. He glanced around the room for any sign of her, but she wasn't there. But he noticed a small book lying on the floor he went over and picked it up. It appeared to be a diary, he opened it and checked for names. There was only one entry in it and it was signed Ginny. He checked the date, it was written yesterday. Draco's heart skipped a beat, what did she write? Was there anything about him in it? Draco sat down on a bench and began reading it. His heart quicken as he read. 'She liked him' he thought, 'She actually liked him.' Draco was shocked he had no idea. He opened the Diary to the next page, took out a quill and scribbled a note.
