Hey! I am really sorry to dancingirl who the last chapter should have gone out to, she was the first to get the quote from the other chapter, it was from Coyote Ugly. That was my favorite part, hehe. Well, anyways, this chapter goes out to her. Um, this one is a little more sad, I want you to know that this will, and I repeat WILL end with Draco and Ginny (Ginger) together

Ginger opened her eyes. She looked around and saw Pansy who had tears streaming down her face. Someone was gripping Pansy's wrist, growing tighter every second. Ginger looked to her rescuer, expecting to see her boyfriend. Instead, she saw a very pissed Blaise Zabini. Ginger saw him look at her and then he proceeded to shove Pansy aside as he hurriedly walked over to her.
"Are you alright?" He asked a stunned Ginger.
Ginger nodded in response. She was really confused as to why the dark haired, dark eyed Italian boy was standing up to her. The had never spoke more than two words to each other.
"Good," He put an arm around her shoulders and walked her away from the scene.
Ginger was getting more confused by the second. Why was he being so nice to her? She wanted to know so she asked the obvious question. "Why are you being nice to me?"
Blaise stopped and took her hand. "You know you are easily the most beautiful girl in the school, right?" He took a step towards her.
Ginger was getting extraordinarily uncomfortable. She also noticed that he looked way too comfortable. "Um, I've been told that, yeah," Ginger said, trying to back away but only finding the wall. She wanted Draco to show up and save her. She didn't want it to have been Blaise that saved her, she wanted Draco. She decided to make it known to him that she was, indeed, taken. "I'm also very taken by someone who can and will kick your ass."
Blaise smiled for a moment. "You don't see your knight now do you?" Blaise was trying to put doubts in her mind, if he succeeded he would get a bit of ass really soon, grief does funny things to you. "If he really loved you that would have been him saving your pretty face back there in the hallway."
Ginger tried to say something back. Tried to tell him that he was in Charms so there was no possible way but so was Blaise, it didn't add up. "Where's Draco?" she asked him warily.
"Oh, don't worry, he won't find us, he wouldn't care anyway," Blaise replied smirking. He could see it was beginning to work.
"No! Get away from me! I don't even know you and even if I did I wouldn't cheat on my boyfriend for you!" Ginger said trying to push him away. She decided that since she couldn't overpower him she would have to keep him from kissing her, or doing anything else to her, until Draco found them. He would find them and he would kick Blaise's ass. He would care. She gasped s Blaise's hand went around to grab her ass, he cupped it and tried to kiss her. He got something else instead.
SLAP. Ginger slapped him for all she was worth. He stumbled backward. Ginger took that moment to run. She kept running, looking back every now and then to find him still behind her. She looked back again when she turned a corner and ran into something, she fell hard on her butt as she looked up to see that she ran into a statue.
"Oh, great," she moaned as she stood up and rubbed her bottom. She remembered why she was running a second too late. Blaise had her up against the wall again, holding her down. He tried to kiss her but she turned away and he got her cheek. She thought he was going to kill her. The she erased that thought, no, he's going to rape me! She tried to call out but Blaise took that opportunity to kiss her hard on the mouth. Ginger tried to stop but she found that she couldn't, or maybe she didn't want to. He was one of the most gorgeous men she had ever seen. She found herself kissing him back. Her brain and every good sense that she had in her were telling her to stop but she couldn't, she didn't want to. He felt warm and he tasted good, not as good as Draco but-. She faltered in her thoughts, Oh, god, Draco! She thought. How could she do this to him? After all he did for her and after all he had sacrificed for her. Blaise kissed her hard and long when he suddenly broke away. Ginger looked up and saw him lying on the floor with a very angry Draco standing above him.
"Hey, Draco," Blaise started, "Want to join the fun?"
Draco looked at him and proceeded to kick him in the gut and lay one more good punch in his eye.
Blaise looked up to Draco with a painful yet victorious smirk, "You don't hear her complaining about it though, do you Malfoy?" Draco kicked him once more in the head and he blacked out.
Draco looked over to Ginger who was still standing there as if in shock. His usually soft eyes were hard. He looked at her with disgust, "Let me guess," He said, "You just couldn't do anything to stop him? It didn't look like you were trying too hard." Draco looked if possible even more disgusted. "I should have known."
Ginger looked up at him with tear-stained cheeks. There were tears running down her face, she couldn't speak, couldn't explain. She could only watch Draco as he hid his pain and looked at her disgustedly.
"Well," Draco continued, "What could I expect from someone like you? I suppose I should have known. I saw the whole thing, I saw him corner you and then kiss you but it doesn't matter if he started it, YOU KISSED HIM BACK!" Draco bit back tears that were threatening to pour out of his eyes. He turned away; he couldn't stand to look at her anymore. How could she do this? How could she betray his heart like this? He had given her his all; he had loved her as he had never loved anyone his entire life. I love her, he thought. She lied to me.
Ginger looked horrified at what she had done. She always thought of herself as faithful but she didn't know what had come over her when she had kissed him back! After all Draco did for her, he had put his life on the line for her. He could have been killed by his father for being with her and she betrayed him. She felt hot tears running down her face as Draco looked at her hatefully and said four words that caused her heart to break and she fell apart.
"You're nothing to me," Draco said and he turned away from her and walked towards his common room. He wasn't going to classes today. Ginger had been the only thing that kept him from the Death Eaters. She was the good in his life. Now that she was gone, he decided it was time to write his father a letter.
Ginger sat there in the hall for a long time. It was an unused hall so no one found her there. She cried until she had no more tears left to cry and then had to settle for dry sobs. Ginger only got up to rush to the bathroom to heave out all that she had eaten that day. She walked shakily to her room. Truly glad for the first time that she had her own. Ginger sat down on the bed and fell asleep.
Draco went to a desk and got out some formal parchment and a quill with some ink. He began to write his letter to his father. He wrote... Father,
I feel the need to tell you that I was recently involved with the Weasley girl. Before you yell and come here to Avada Kedavra me I tell you that it is finished, it was mere infatuation.
That, however, is not the reason I am writing you. I would like to formally and proudly pledge my allegiance to the Dark Lord. I would like to join the ranks of the Death Eaters.
-Draco

Draco looked carefully over the letter. He decided that it was satisfactory and walked up to the owlry. He called down his owl and tied the formal parchment to it's leg and it flew off with it. 'Well,' he thought, 'guess that's it, too late for anything else now.' Draco walked back to his common room and threw himself on his bed. He didn't cry, though god knows it would have helped, instead he sat there second-guessing himself about his decisions. He wondered if he should have let her explain, he wondered if he shouldn't have owled his father. He didn't think any further as he grabbed a bottle of fire-whiskey he had stashed in his trunk. Before he knew it he had downed the whole bottle and fell into a deep sleep.
Ginger woke up with a terrible headache. Her first instinct was to reach over to Draco. When she did and felt nothing but empty air she remembered the previous day's fight and started crying. This only made her head hurt more but she couldn't stop. Ginger finally calmed down and decided on a course of action. First, she would have to go and apologize to Harry and Ron and Hermione for her behavior. Ginger went into her bathroom and said a spell to make herself look presentable. She no longer looked as though she was crying. She got dressed and walked out of her room, putting a brave face on for all. She knew it would be hard to do but she had to try. She walked over to the portrait of the fat lady and said the password. Ginny walked up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Hey," Ginger said carefully.
"Ginny, hey, how are you doing?" Hermione surprised her by being really nice to her. She looked at Harry and he smiled sympathetically. They knew. They knew what had happened between her and Draco. Ginger paid no mind to the use of her old name, all three had refused to use it, they said that she was still Ginny to them. Ginger looked at Hermione who merely nodded. Ginger started to cry again. Hermione enveloped her in a tight hug. Ginger told them all that she was sorry and that she hoped they would forgive her. They all did, although Ron needed some convincing. Ginger hugged them each and told them that they all meant a lot to her and that she loved them all, they were like family. She noticed Harry frown at this. Ginger got it out. Now she needed to get her grades, which had been slipping since Draco came around, back up to perfect scores. Ginger headed off to the library.
When she walked into the library, she noticed that her long time guy friend was sitting in a back table that most never even knew was there, it had become their talking place. Landon Garside was in seventh year but he was in Ravenclaw. The two got along marvelously and had even once dated but stopped, deciding to be friends. Ginger had been filling him in on everything that had happened between her and Draco. Forgetting about her studies, she walked over to him as calmly as she could. She sat down beside him and told the whole thing. When she was done Landon just looked at her carefully. He told her then that she deserved much better. Without warning Ginger's best friend made her even more confused by choosing that moment to kiss her. Ginger was caught off guard. She gave in and kissed him back. The two began to get more intense. Landon, having just gone through heartbreak himself, was in almost the same position she was. The two soon found themselves putting their clothing back on awkwardly. They couldn't believe that they had done that. They knew neither one loved the other like that and they couldn't explain it.
Draco awoke to be very confused and in very much pain. His first thought was wondering where Ginger was. Then he remembered and he threw the necklace off his nightstand, it landed across the room with a soft thud. He had bought it for her the first day they were together. He saw no need for it now. Draco decided to go to the library where he could have some quiet to think. That was the problem with the dungeons, they always creaked and groaned and it was bloody annoying.
Draco walked briskly to his corner of the library, right next to the restricted section. No one dared to go there anymore because he had kicked so many people out with threats and hexes. On his way back he heard a distinct moan of pleasure. He recognized it right away; it came from Ginger. He looked back and discovered a table he never noticed before. On it were Ginger and some other guy he recognized from Transfiguration. Draco thought that seeing Ginger kissing Zabini had been awful but that was nothing compared to what he felt seeing her under another guy. He literally felt his heart break and his world fall apart. He tried to tear his eyes off the sight but he couldn't. Only when they had finished and were putting their clothes back on could he walk away. He walked out of the library and he collapsed. He sat there on the floor, not crying, but more in shock.
Ginger whispered a goodbye to Landon as she hurriedly got out of the library. She fell over something, no, someone. Ginger looked over to the someone and saw that it was a very upset Draco. She looked worriedly at him as she kneeled by his side. He was obviously in shock. She pieced together what had happened; he had seen her in the library.
"Draco, oh my god, it, it didn't mean a thing, I swear!" Ginger said, trying to get him to understand.
"Then what did it mean Ginger? Do you always go fuck the closest person near you when you stab your boyfriend in the back? Is it some thing you do?" Draco asked her, grabbing her wrist. She could smell a strong stench of alcohol on him, "If you were trying to hurt me, it worked." Draco tightened his grip on her wrist, not noticing her whimper in pain.
"Draco, please, you're hurting me!" Ginger tried to twist out of his grip but it didn't work. He tightened it even more. Ginger was in serious pain right now and her tears were streaming down her face. Ginger now tried to just run away but Draco twisted her back around to face him. The last thing Ginger remembered was a snap and falling hard but never quite reaching the ground.
