Chapter 4: Snowed In ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hello! Malfoy! Did you hear me!" yelled Hermione.

"Oh, yeah, I did. You said the blizzard would continue for two days?" he asked.

"Yeah, but classes will be on the regular schedule, so Ginny, you could go back on break".

"Haha, very funny. I thought I was going to relax, but a witch got to do what a witch got to do to have these students in order", said Ginny.

"Umm, Ginny I have to tell you something, can you come?" asked Hermione.

Ginny got up and went towards Hermione.

Hermione said, almost in a whisper, "Umm, there are a lot of kids that are going to have to stay here for vacation because of the snow, and because of that, Malfoy's going to have to share a room with you".

Ginny looked at Hermione in wide-eyed horror and said, "DRACO MALFOY!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhh!"

Back into a harsh whisper, "Malfoy! In my room! You know he had a reputation with girls!"

"Listen, if you talked to him, like all of the others, you can see he's changed for the better, for Andrew. He wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that".

Ginny looked back at Draco who was looking at Andrew's papers.

"He better not do any funny stuff", she said stiffly.

With that, Hermione smiled and left the room. Ginny took a deep breath and sat back down at her desk.

"Hey, your back", said Draco.

"Yeah well, seeing as there are a lot of students that have to stay here because of the snow for vacation, there are not a lot of room, so you'll have to share a room with me", said Ginny almost hesitantly.

"Oh, okay. You won't even know I'm there", he said.

'You sure?' she thought.

"I'll show you the way a little later, so if you want to catch up with Andrew, I have no problem.

"Okay, I'll meet up with you around 7:30, at the Grand Staircase", he said with a smirk.

"Okay", she said not paying him any attention.

Draco got up and left the room. She sat back in her chair and sighed.

'Why is fate playing around with me? What did I ever do to deserve this? I hope he's not Adam. . ."

With thinking that she remembered that Ron and Adam was coming Next week. What was she to do?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ginny was to patrol the halls until 7 P.M. She walked up and down the many flights of stairs. During her patrol, she always passed a portrait, her favorite portrait. It was of a princess kissing her prince in the sunlight. She silently wished that one day that would be her.

She walked through the second floor, and through the library. She was in the back of the library when she heard noises coming from a small book room. She opened the door and to her surprise she saw two Ravenclaw students making out in the book room.

"Miss Lee! Mister Soni! 20 points from Ravenclaw!" Ginny yelled.

The students got up and straightened their clothes in an embarrassed fashion. The left and they looked back at Ginny occasionally. Ginny gave them a cold stare and went back on her patrol.

She sighed and walked out of the library. She remembered many times during her school days she would she her friends make out and now that she was a teacher it was hard for her to break it up.

She looked down at her watch and saw it was 7:25 P.M. She had to meet Draco. She walked down two flights of stairs and arrived to the foot of the Grand Staircase. She stood there waiting seeing as he didn't arrive yet.

She pictured herself one day walking down the Grand Staircase with a beautiful dress and into the arms of her one and only. But she knew it would never happen.

As that last thought left her mind, someone covered her eyes.

"Guess who", said a low sultry voice.

"Malfoy! I know it's you! There's students around! Come on now!"

Draco removed his hands.

"Okay! Okay! No need to be cranky!" he said.

"Let's go now", Ginny went up the Grand Staircase. Draco followed. First floor, second floor, third floor, and finally the fourth floor. She didn't speak to him until they finally arrived the Fairy portrait.

"Password", giggled the Fairy.

"Capture my Heart", said Ginny.

The portrait moved and they went through the tunnel.

"Wow! Very exquisite!" said Draco looking at the room.

"Thanks", said Ginny slightly blushing. She took out her wand and made a bed appear for him.

"Well, I'm sorry but you're going to have to stay here", she said.

"No need for apologies, I just hope I'm not intruding", Draco said.

Draco belly flopped on to the bed. Ginny was very flustered.

'Malfoy's actually is trying to be nice?' she thought.

"Wow, Malfoy! You sure have changed your attitude since your Hogwarts days", said Ginny timidly.

"What do you mean?" asked Draco.

"Well I mean, I'm really not trying to offend you. . ." she stuttered.

"Listen, I'm not offended, I just want to hear how you think I've changed. Many people told me I have", said Draco holding her hand leading her to the sofa.

"Well, I mean you show so much more concern and you're not cold hearted like you were, I mean it's a great transformation and must of taken many sacrifices", said Ginny in low voice.

"Well, I changed for Andrew. He's very special to me, and I don't want my cold ways to rub off on to him. He has a lot of potential", said Draco.

"That brings me to another question. I mean if you want to answer, how is Andrew Broderbund related to you?" she said straightening herself.

Draco took a deep sigh and said, "Ummm, I really don't know if you'll understand. . ."

"That's okay, you don't have to answer", she said standing up walking to her room.

She faced her door and she heard him say, "He's my sister's son".

She looked over to him; he looked to be shaking with anger.

"Sister? You had a sister?" she questioned.

"In my second year of Hogwarts, I found out that my father, if I should ever call him that, was abusing my mother in such terrible ways. In my third year, she left him, and moved to France. My father was in rage and vowed when he found her, with or without the Dark Lord's help, that he was going to kill her. She didn't know anything of his plan. She was married to a guy named Bennet Broderbund. Soon after my fourth year, mother was pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl named Alicia Broderbund. When Alicia was twenty-one she was married and gave birth to Andrew. During this time, my father had all ready killed my mother. Alicia's husband died after Andrew turned one. When my father found out about my mother having another child, he set off to kill her and her son. I was the only one who knew about this. I set in search of her and found that father had already killed Alicia. He was going to kill Andrew, but I was full of rage that I used Aver Kedrava on him. That's why I have Andrew with me, that's how he was placed in Gryffindor, and that's why he wants to make me happy. Even though he was small, he has frequent nightmares about it". When Draco was over he was shaking even more. His voice was deeper and seemed to be full of hatred.

"I told you, you didn't have to tell me if you didn't want to".

"I wanted to tell you because you care for him as much as I do, you want to see him excel!" Draco stood up and walked to Ginny.

In a low voice, he said, "And that's why I admire you". His gray eyes fixed onto her eyes. He lowered his heard towards her mouth. She could feel his breath on her lips. Ginny was full with feelings. She closed her eyes for the kiss she dreamed about, and then with a flash, Adam came into her mind.

"No. . . I can't", said Ginny pushing Draco away.

"What?" said Draco in a husky voice.

"I just can't, I'm sorry", her eyes were brimming with tears.

She left Draco and ran into her room. There is where she cried the rest of the night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A/N: Hey there! Glad to see that you made it this far into my story. I really hope this one becomes one of my best. By the way, this is my first rated R fic, so if it's not like everyone else's, I don't know what to say. Anyway, I had just came home from a LaGauardia audition for art and let me tell you now, I don't think it went too well. Anyway, just to come off the subject of Harry Potter and fanfiction, I've been busy with a lot of high school work, so you'll most likely get the next chapter next weekend, or probably sooner if I could get to my computer and stay long enough to type another chapter. Read and Review. Sorry I had to cut you off short. Lots of love,
