Okay, here is the third chapter!!!! Enjoy and review!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'They were after you? How did they find you?' said Luna shockingly.

It was the day after Ginny had met Draco that night. She had began

telling Luna all about what had happened. She told her about Draco

standing in the dark... how she and Draco talked... how Draco was

going to take her somewhere... how they heard Filch and Snape coming

towards them...

'I don't know. Mrs Norris must have smelt me or something... I was

wearing perfume.' said Ginny queitly as she tried to transfigure her

lizard into a goblet.

'Wow... well, what happened next? Did Malfoy tip them off?' Luna added

coldly.

Ginny went on with her story, about how she ran down the hall, thinking

if she would be caught... how Draco had caught her from falling... how

they spent the rest of their night together by the lake...

'It was wonderful...' said Ginny, a dreamy look on her face.

'But your family hates the Malfoy's!' hissed Luna, looking worried.

'What if they found out?'

'They won't find out! Anyhow, he's just helping me... you now

excitment and all. He brought it up anyway... I accepted.' Ginny

tried her lizard again, but gold and red rubies appearedon its back. The lizard scurried away but Ginny brought him back easily.

'But what if Ron found out? He would be in a right fit, Ginny. You

should be careful.' Luna warned her.

'What, do you think Draco will go up to Ron and Harry and tell them

everything? I highly doubt it, Luna. Don't worry.' Ginny added, the

dreamy look coming back to her face.

Class ended as the bell rang. Ginny and Luna began packing their things

when Professor McGonagall called on Ginny.

'Miss Weasley, come... I need a word.' she looked angry and stern.

Ginny looked a Luna helplessily. She was in trouble and she knew it. She had a feeling Luna knew too.

'Go along now, Miss Lovegood... I need a private word with Miss Weasley.' McGonagall snapped.

Luna shoved the last of her things hastily into her bag and left without another word. Ginny looked up to McGonagall who was now hovering over her, looking very angry indeed. Her eyes flared as she looked apon Ginny.

'Running the halls in the night...' McGonagall hissed.

Ginny was reminded of Snape and she felt even more scared of what was about to come. Would she loose her spot as Prefect? Would her marks go down?

'I cannot believe it... a Prefect... and with Draco Malfoy.' McGonagall moaned. She looked disappionted. 'You will serve a week detention with Mister Malfoy in Professor Snape's potion room. You will be pickling reptiles for him. Go down there right after supper. You may leave.'

Ginny nodded and left the classroom, stunned. How did she find out about her and Draco being out at night? Had Draco actually tipped Snape off like Luna said? Had it all been a plan for her just to get into trouble? Well, Ginny thought as she marched off to find Luna, it didn't work very well, since he is serving detention with me.

Ginny knocked on the dungeon door three times when it opened. Snape loomed in the door way looking very pleased. He loved to see anyone from Gryffindor get in trouble.

Ginny sneered at him and pushed past him. She saw Draco looking very relaxed, leaning in his chair.

Snape walked past her and up to the front of the classroom.

'You will be pickling my reptiles for the next week. The materials and ingredients needed are located in this cabinet-' He pointed to it. '-the instructions on how to get the potion are on the board-' He waved his wand and the instructions appeared. '-I will be back in a few hours.'

Snape walked past Ginny, pushing her slightly to the side and left the dungeon, closing the door behind him.

Ginny rounded on Draco, who was still sitting relaxed in his chair.

'You,' Ginny spat.

'Yes, me.' Draco replied.

'You tipped off Filch. You tricked me into coming down in the night, just so you could see me in trouble.' Ginny growled, sitting across from him and pulling out her wand and began readying a cauldron.

'I did nothing of the sort. If I did, I wouldn't be here.'

Ginny snarled at him, but Draco took no notice. 'This is boring. You promised excitment.' Ginny snapped, walking over to the cabinet Snape had pointed out and began taking out ingridients.

'This is exciting... complete joy...' Draco yawned and closed his eyes.

Ginny glared at him, wishing more than anything to hex him but she steadied herself. She didn't want a years detention right now. She walked back to the table and began heating the cauldron.

'This will be a black mark on my record forever. I am the smartest student in my year and a Prefect... oh what would my mother think?' Ginny cried, actually wondering what her mother would say.

'You have to make sacrifices... excitment isn't all easy-get-away with sort of thing... sacrifices are made...' Draco said knowningly.

'The only thing I'm about to sacrifice is me getting a months detention from hitting you!' Ginny screamed. She was glaring at Draco her fists ready to hit him.

Draco looked at her, stood and up and leant across the table so he was merely inches away from her. He stared into her eyes. He seemed to be searching Ginny, looking deep into her. Ginny stared to feel scared... the way he stared at her...

'Go on, hit me.' Draco said finally, in a low, deep voice.

'What?' Ginny said astonished.

'Hit me. If you want to, go ahead. I won't tell.'

Ginny hesitated for a moment then swung as hard as she could at Draco's face. He stumbled back, grabbing the desk for balance. He grabbed his cheek, felt it and looked at Ginny.

'Oh my god... I am... I am so sorry...' Ginny mumbled, feeling like she was going to regret hitting him.

He smiled at her. 'Nice arm, Ginny. Quidditch?'

Ginny was shocked at how well he accepted it. 'Y-Yes...' Ginny said numbly.

'Thought so.' Draco smiled at her again, touched his cheek and winced. 'Hurts though.'

'Sorry...' Ginny mumbled.

'It's all right... I said you could.'

Ginny smiled a weak smile at him. 'You deserve it.'

'What?' Draco looked at her shocked. The side of his face where Ginny had hit him looked numb and had turned red around a black, purple and blue bruise now forming at the middle of his cheek.

'Everything you've done... I speak for all the Gryffindors.' Ginny turned back to the potion and smiled to herself.

'Okay...' Draco smiled at Ginny and began helping her with the potion.
