A/N: thanks everyone for the reviews!
I decided that this won't be the last chapter, but the second to last. Still, R&R!
Aysha: omg thanx so much! Well, I kinda dared myself, I wasn't going to publish this one, but I thought that you guys would like it! And thanks for the tips . . . developing the story is a little hard, but this chapter will be pretty long! Not like SUPER long, but about twice the size of the others :) I will probably write a sequel, everyone loves this!
Wicchick: I'm sorry its gonna end quickly, but . . . read some of my upcoming stories :) they are better
Thanks for the reviews Layce and shay, and to the anonymous reviewer, you want and I provide!

Chapter Five
Harry was more surprised than he had ever been in his life (and that included the Triwizard Cup portkey). He desperately looked at himself, and he was even more surprised to find that he was still invisible! His eyes slowly looked back up, and Draco was staring into Harry's eyes, an unrecognizable look circling in his Dumbledore-esque calm eyes. Harry sighed, audibly for the first time that evening, and swept off his Invisibility Cloak.
"Ahhh, that's better Potter, now Ginny can see you ." Draco drawled, but it lacked the usual Malfoy venom.
"Well, Malfoy, she doesn't look particularly happy with you."
Possibly the understatement of the year, Harry knew, but he raised his eyebrow and nudged his head in Ginny's direction. Hot tears were cascading down her face, sparks flying from the fiery gaze she held with Draco. He flushed slightly, and faltered for words, a very uncharacteristic show of his emotions.
Draco reluctantly looked into Ginny's eyes, and gently persuaded the flames in her down with his cooling stare. Finally, she looked away, and then abruptly got up and left the room. The door ominously slammed shut behind her, and Harry coughed slightly. He was left slightly confused. Not knowing what else to do, and also feeling awkward with Draco's gaze now fixed on him, he made to follow Ginny. The door was open and he was almost out when a muscular arm pulled him back inside . . .
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Ginny sprinted down the corridor, changing from cat to human countless times, silently sobbing. Once she got to the nearest staircase, she collapsed and bawled her eyes out. She cried and cried and cried, not caring that Mrs. Norris was watching her with evil, red eyes, nor that a passing Ravenclaw student was asking her what was wrong. Her mind was full to bursting with images of Draco.
She saw him first approaching her, when she still thought of him as an enemy. She heard his proposition of a plan. She felt, bitterly, their first kiss . And now, tonight, everything ending and bliss turning on her and slapping her across the face. Now she was left with only pain and an empty heart, once filled with the fake affection of Draco.
The name across her mind caused her to crumple in the corner, and soak her robes with tears when she cradled her delicate head in her knees. She was like this for many minutes, simply wallowing in self-pity and an empty love. Then, she was surprised as Mrs. Norris climbed into the hollow space between her torso and her propped-up legs. Ginny looked into her eyes, and Mrs. Norris purred and pushed her hand. Shakily, Ginny pet her, and Mrs. Norris continued purring. She then pressed Mrs. Norris to herself and sobbed into her fur, trusting someone else to harbor her sorrow for once. And so they lay, Ginny sorrowfully spilling any and every tear that she possessed, and Mrs. Norris comforting her.

Harry was rocketed backwards, and barely managed to keep his footing. Draco shut the door, and leaned back against it, his hands clasped behind his back. He looked patiently at Harry, while Harry caught his breath. Once Draco was certain that Harry wouldn't try to leave, he walked to the gold-colored loveseat behind Harry, startling Harry even more by slightly brushing shoulders with him on the way. Draco lounged in the loveseat, and Harry turned and faced him.
"What the hell is this about, Malfoy? I have Advanced Transfiguration early in the morning, and I still have to start the essay on the dangers of human transfiguration!" Harry said indignantly. His voice, however, let on that being alone in the same room as Draco unnerved him. He was unconsciously reminded of his thoughts earlier that evening, and was unable to push them out of his mind. "Not to mention, how could you see me when I was still wearing my Invisibility Cloak?"
"Patience, patience, Harry . . . let me say what I came here to say!" Draco sounded so lax that it was hard to take him seriously, considering his reputation.
"Oh, and since when are we on fir-"
Harry was interrupted by a sigh from Draco, followed by something muttered that Harry couldn't hear. "What did you just say?" he demanded, trying to catch anything incriminating.
"I said, Potter, that I love you." Draco said, still quite lax.
Harry was nonplussed. "Is this some kind of sick joke? Are there hidden cameras or something?" At this, he started glaring at every wall in general. Draco laughed, a truly genuine laugh, and looked at Harry.
"Do you really think that I am so cruel to do that? Besides, I have no idea what a hidden camera is anyways."
Harry looked into Draco's eyes, and there was no sign of any sarcasm, or any enmity. He couldn't stop staring into Draco's eyes, even when he came closer, so close . . .

R&R as always!
