Ginny woke up. Draco had his arm leisurely around her stomach. What had they done? Anything? Just kissed? What? She shook Draco's shoulder roughly. He shrugged and opened his eyes.

"Oh, good morning," he said, a little surprised at the rough awakening.

"What happened?" Ginny asked, a little rougher than she meant. Draco din't seem to notice, but instead he kissed her cheek.

"Nothing, you fell asleep. I fell asleep. We didn't do anything. I promise you, I give you my word," he said. His words consoled her and she snuggled closer to him, feeling the warmth of his breath and the beating of his heart. He whispered softly to her, but she didn't understand the words, only the rhythym of his voice going up and down. Only noticing the beauty of his eyes and paleness of his skin, the richness of his tone and softness of his hair.

"Ginny..." he said, thoughtfully. "You know, I've never known what that standed for."

"Virginia," she whispered softly. "It was my grandmother's name."

"Virginia..." Draco whispered into her ear. "It's beautiful..."

He tilted his chin towards her and kissed her, his smooth lips parting a little, and pressing gentlely on hers, as though he did not want to pressure her. It was actually a realease of pressure, as it felt when she was fed upon. Only better...

"It's beautiful," he said again. "Just like you."

"Hmm..." she murmured softly, cuddling against his chest. She felt as though she could stay there forever, until she heard a knock on the dormitory door.

"Oh, hell, oh bloody hell!" she hissed, jumping out of bed. She said aloud, "Who is it?"

"It's Professor Straum! The Headmaster wanted me to check on you!" he called, not opening the door.

"Hide, Draco," she hissed and he dove under the bed, she covered his feet with the blanket and sat down.

"Oof!" Draco sent a muffled call from under the bed as she sat down.

"Shh!" she whispered a dn then called, "Come in!"

Professor Straum opened the door. Ginny tried to look calm, but she almost burst out laughing when he sat on the bed and she head another, muffled, "Oof!"

"Just making sure you were okay," he said. She gave him a kind smile.

"I'm fine, Professor, thanks for checking on me. When will the other students arrive, do you know?"

"Around four-thirty, I assume," he said. "And call me Tahmores, please."

"Right, right," Ginny said absently.

"Well, I'd best be going, just making sure you were alright." Tahmores walked out of the room without so much as a lok back. Ginny got up, closed the door, and let out a huge sigh of relief.

"All right, Draco, you can come out." Draco struggled from underneath the bed and was breathing deeply.

"Did you know that their are spiders under there? Webs and everything!" Draco gasped. Ginny laughed and joined him on the floor.

"Don't be a baby," she said, sitting on the small of his back. HE lifted her and rolled over gentlely.

"Now where were we?" he asked.

"Right here..."

***

Draco's heart pounded as they walked around the lake. He knew very well some teacher was watching them from one of the many towers of Hogwarts, but he didn't care, just so long as he could keep holding onto her hand, and kissing her soft, pale forehead.

They grew closer and closer to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. They sat down right by the edge and snuggled closer.

"You know," Ginny began, "I've always hated Hogwarts. I've hated coming here and being here around all these happy people and knowing I can never be like them."

"Why can't you?" he asked. Ginny laughed roughly.

"It comes form having six older brothers. I'm the baby of the family, and I'm the only girl. I'm the one they have to protect, at least, they all think they do. Truth is, I've been taking care of myself since I was three, when I met Calipso..."

"You first started this feeding thing when you were three?" Draco asked, increduously.

"No, I didn't start until last year, but Calipso and I have always been friends. Since I can remember..."

***

The little three year old girl ran across the street to her mother. She had bright red hair and freckles, and was a very cute, sweet little child. She was wearing a green sweater, and a lavender skirt and was prancing around her mother in youthful abandon that only children can have. Calipso was infatuated.

"Please, Mommy, can I get an ice cream?"

"All right, all right, Virginia, settle down, let's get in line." Her mother grabbed her hand and pulled her through the crowd, passing Calipso.

"Hmm... Virginia, huh?" Calipso could smell the distinct aura of magic that all wizard's and witches had. So, she was magic? Hmm...

Calipso, in a strong show of will power, turned back to her book as she sat at a table ont he padio of a cafe.

Suddenly, her attention was roused again as she heard Virginia's mother calling out to someone. "Virginia, Virginia! Where are you?"

"Mama! Mama!" the little red-headed girl called. Calipso turned, her vampire senses acute and ready. Virginia's hand was being held by a man with rough features and a short beard. He wore all black and Calipso knew him well. He was another vampire and he had found his prey.

Calipso ran to her, catching the man unawares. She put her fangs into his neck, surprising him, and kicked his knees out from under him. He hissed and sprang to attck, scratching her across the face, drawing blood. Calipso didn't even notice. Instead, she punched him between the shoulder blades and he fell onto the conrete sidewalk, banging his head into unconsiousness.

The crowd burst into applause. Calipso smiled shyly as Virginia came to hug her.

"Thank you," she said, quietly.

"My name is Calipso," she said.

"I'm Virginia." The little girl backed away and Calipso kneeled down beside her.

"Well, Virginia, you know I can't watch you all the time, and neither can your mother. You have to take care of yourself.

"YEs, ma'am," Virginia nodded.

"Virginia... You know, my name was Virginia once. People never notice a girl named Virginia, but a girl named Ginny... well, Ginny's a cute girl name. People pay attention to girl's named Ginny."

"Ginny... okay, then, Ginny!" Virginia laughed. Calipso ruffled her hair.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to take care of him. Good-bye for now, Ginny."

"Good-bye!"

"Virginia, I was so worried!" her mother cried, hugging her tightly.

"I'm fine, Mum," she said, pulling away. "And, Mum? It's Ginny now."

***

Ron paced up and down the compartment floor, his prefect badge smudged and his hair a mess. His clothes had mud on them and he didn't even notice. Hermione was worried and she could tell Harry was, too.

"Where could she be? I've lost her! Can't believe Mum made me go to school after I lost Ginny! Must be punishment or something..." he muttered under his breath, loud ebough that both his friends could here it.

"Ron, I'm sure she's fine, really, I'm sure," Hermione comforted, standing up.

"What was she doing at a vampire rave, anyways?" Harry asked. Hermione shot him a glare.

"Apparently, she's one of the most sought-after vampire sacrifices in the world, and I, her own brother, didn't know about until I walked in on her making out with... never mind.."

"She was making out with someone?" Hermione asked. "Who?"

"Well, she never actually kissed him, I don't think, but, they were about to..."

"Ron," Harry said, menacingly, "who?"

"Draco Malfoy," Ron muttered, incoherently.

"What?" HErmione asked, egging him on.

"DRACO MALFOY!" Ron exploded. His friedns leaned back in shock. "Can you believe that two-faced, backstabbing, meniachal..."

"This is Draco's fault not Ginny's!"

"I'M TALKING ABOUT DRACO!"

"Oh, well then, that's okay," Hermione said, sitting down, just as KAida walked in.

"Why are you shouting about my brother?" she asked, with an innocent look on her face. She had already changed into her uniform and was holding a backpack tight to her chest.

"Nothing, Kaida, go... make some friends, or something," Ron dismissed with a wave of his hand. Hermione smack him on the back of his head.

"Kaida, your brother and Ginny like each other and Ron can't get over it." Kaida's eyes lit up.

"If they get married, am I gonna have a sister.

"Yes," Hermione said.

"No!" Ron yelled at the same time. "My little sister is not marrying a Malfoy! End of story! Period!"

Kaida sat down decidely, saying, "Well, I think their in love and their gonna get married, and I'm gonna have a sister." She turned to HErmione. "I've never had one of those before. If Draco marries Ginny and you marry Ron, do you think you'd be my sister, too?"

"Sure!" Ron said, and then covered it up with a, "I mean, yes, she'd be your sister, but Ginny's not marrying Draco!" Harry gave Kaida a wry smile and he stood up, taking the little girl's hand.

"If they are doing this to make you mad, it won't last," he said. "If they are really in love, then I'd like to see you try and stop them."
