Chapter 5.

"Ginny" Draco stood in the doorway, a silhouette blocking most of the light shining in from the corridor. Ginny, he thought, looked beautiful. Silver moonlight glimmered on her hair. In an instant they were together again, kissing.

"Do you forgive me?" Draco asked, pulling away. Ginny gave him a questioning look. "For being, me."

"I love you, I may dislike what others see but I still love you." Draco smiled at her response as he held her near.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you, no matter what." He swore.

Weeks flew by; Ginny would excuse herself from the Gryffindor Common Room after dinner and wouldn't return until the curfew. She spent her evenings with Draco, in the Room of Requirement, where they would study. and kiss. She found herself constantly making excuses about where she was going and who she was with that one day she lost the infamous Weasley temper and yelled at Ron, loudly, in the Common Room.

" Stop it! Leave me be Ron! Is it any of your business who I see?"

and she stormed out of the room.

Later, as she sat beside Draco he told her that she wasn't concentrating, and as she narrated the events, she burst into tears, he held her in his arms and rocked her.

The kiss was simultaneous it began like any other kiss the two had shared, little did they know how much it would change their lives

Ron had followed Ginny, though since the corridor had been full he couldn't listen in on the conversation that followed. The crowd dispersed and as soon as the hall was empty, or at least empty enough, he placed his ear to the door. The pressure caused the door to open and though the slight creak caused the couple to break apart, Ron had seen enough.

"GINNY!" He yelled. " MY OWN SISTER!" a crowd began to move towards the dramatic scene. " GINNY! . SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY!"

It was remarkable how composed Ginny seemed, though her voice shook slightly as she determinedly answered " Draco is not the enemy, nor am I sleeping with him, though I am going out with him." She turned to Draco for reassurance; he joined her in the doorway.

"Believe it or not. Weasel, I'm as much against v.Voldemort as you are."

"Draco," murmured Ginny "Please don't insult my brother"

"Sorry, Ronald." Draco amended sarcastically. " I beg for your forgiveness." Ginny rolled her eyes; diplomacy between these two was impossible.

"Ginny," Ron's voice was now a threat as he ignored Draco. "I'm writing to Mum about this, you can't stop me." The swarm of students moved in closer at this marvelous drama, a street theatre.

" You do that then." Ginny turned and walked off, her exit somewhat hindered by the crowd *

"Ginny, I've got to leave." Draco whispered to her in the Owlery, thankfully empty.

"Do you have to?" She knew she sounded childish but she couldn't bear him leaving.

"Yes," he said shortly as he mounted his broom and flew out the large window. Ginny sank to the ground; there was so much she didn't understand * Lying on her bed that night she thought over it again and again. She was not, she knew that, a romantic heroine from the novels she read, she could not, especially as O.W.L.'s neared, hop onto a broom and follow her one true love where ever he may go. She was, a young schoolgirl with responsibilities and duties to meet. She couldn't do something like that!

She thought of how school would now be, impossible. From the few who had been in the hall the gossip now spread to the entire school as they talked about her and Draco. The lies were spiteful and cruel. What had she done to deserve them? She felt an aching regret, after all the postponing she had failed to tell him, of the prophecy. Now, whatever went wrong was her fault! Draco would never help Harry, all would fail, and she'd be to blame. True no one had known that she knew, but she'd still feel the guilt.

She tossed with these arguments until dawn hit the sky. Hastily she rose, dressed, packed and wrote a note for Harry:

Harry, I've taken your cloak and broom, I'll return them soon and make my own way home. I'd wake you but it's a matter of great importance to me. Ginny

She left it on his trunk as she rummaged through it and, taking his broom in her hand she picked up her bag and covered herself completely with the cloak. She tied her bag containing her necessities and treasures, then running along to the Owlery she sent a blank piece of parchment to Draco. Returning to the Gryffindor tower she opened the Common Room window as carefully as she could and mounted the room and flew off, keeping the large owl in sight as she followed him. The owls had a remarkable knack for knowing where people were. * Harry woke early, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he read Ginny's note. He hurried downstairs to find the window open, hitting the walls with the breeze.

"Shit, Ginny, Ron's going to kill me!"
