Ginny followed Draco into the castle. She had never felt more nervous in her entire life. She followed him into an empty classroom, closed the door behind them, and sat on a desk waiting for him to speak. To say something, anything at all that would alleviate her fears
Draco stood opposite Ginny. He watched her as she nervously fidgeted with the hem of her skirt. She really was beautiful. Ginny's brown eyes met his as he cleared his throat. He glanced into her eyes and read the intense emotion within them as clearly as day Truthfully, he was stuck, his words and thoughts were swirling around inside his head, yet he couldn't make them come out in coherent sentences. He closed his mouth and dropped his gaze. Ginny sighed, and dropped her gaze back to the hem of her skirt and began to fiddle with it once more. She cleared her throat and looked up, she knew she would have to be the one to initiate conversation. After another uncomfortable five minutes of silence between them she took the first few steps into initiating conversation.
"Draco, stop staring at me and tell me what you want. I have homework to do," she said in a hollow voice. For the first time in her life, she felt utterly miserable. She had no more tears left to cry.
Draco felt a lump form in his throat as he looked at the despondent girl before him. He had done this to her. He had made her feel this way.
"Ginny, I'm so sorry," he managed to get out before his voice began to crack. At this Ginny's head snapped up. As she looked at him closely she saw tears glistening in his eyes. Tears she knew he would never cry.
"Draco? What's wrong?" she asked. Turning away from her Draco brought his fist down on the table with a loud 'thud'.
"Ginny, my life was simple before I met you. I had no one to answer to. I could bully people all I wanted and always get what I desired. I didn't have to answer to anyone, never had to feel guilty, never had to care about someone other than myself. Then you came along, and it all changed," Draco let out a sigh and continued. "I'm not sure I understand what's going on, but I know one thing."
Turning around he walked up to her, and taking her hand starred directly into her eyes.
"I need you, Ginny, I don't know why, but I need you. Somehow.Somehow I've managed to fall in love with you."
Ginny's eyes widened at his last statement. For a minute she could say nothing but just stare at him wordlessly.
"Ginny, please, say something. Anything. Even if its just to tell me where to go," he pleaded.
Ginny took a deep breath and eased herself off the desk. Slowly a smile drifted across her face and tears began to form in her eyes.
"I love you too, Draco," she replied. Smiling, he tilted her face up to his and enveloped her in a passionate kiss.
Eventually the two broke apart, and, joining hands, walked out of the classroom, ready to face whatever life threw at them, together.
