"Ginny? Ginny? Hey Ginny!!" Ginny felt a nudge and almost fell out of her seat. She opened her eyes and looked around. "What?" She was so groggy. She had been talking with Parvati and Lavender at lunch, but had nodded off while Parvati discussed Divination with Lavender. The subject alone made Ginny drowsy, but it didn't help that she hadn't been sleeping very well.

Christmas had come and gone, and school had started back up a few days earlier. Her dreams were becoming more and more disturbing. She kept battling against some unseen force and every time she lost. She'd wake up sweating and tangled in her sheets. She had told Albus about her dream Christmas Eve, but they both agreed there wasn't much they could do without really knowing what was coming.

An ancient evil covers a lot of ground in the wizarding world. She had been spending hours in the library with Draco looking up ancient evil, but most were gone, and those that were still around were pretty nasty. Which, as you can imagine didn't make Ginny feel any better. Christmas was pretty good though. Draco had given Ginny a beautiful eight carat Garnet gemstone necklace for protection and strength. He was really worried about her. It was odd how he changed with her. He was so kind and loving, yet with others he could be so cruel and hard. She loved it. He's a bad boy with a heart. Who wouldn't love that?

She looked over to the Slytherin table and spotted two gray eyes staring at her over the hall. She smiled and stared back into the stony pools. He looked like a perfect statue, only his eyes gave him away. "Who ya staring at?" Ginny broke her gaze to turn and look at Harry. "Hi Harry!." Lavender had fallen head over heals for Harry at the ball, but Harry didn't seem to feel the same. He smiled weakly at her, "Hey Lavender, what's up?" She blushed a bit and giggled slightly. "nothing, just discussing Divination." "Oh." Harry turned from her and back to Ginny. "So, what'chya looking at." Ginny smiled, "Nothin' much." Harry looked over at Draco and his eyes narrowed a bit. Ginny tried not follow his stare. "What's wrong?"

Across the hall Draco watch Potter walk over and take a seat next to Ginny he whispered something into her ear which took her gaze away from him. Draco glared as he watched them talk. He noticed the Lavender girl try to get a word in and saw Potter brush her off for Ginny. Suddenly Potter looked up at him and glared.

Damn Potter. His eyes stayed with Draco for a moment before going back to Ginny. Draco didn't like it. Not one bit. Potter never liked Draco and the feeling was mutual, but he still couldn't shake the bad feeling he got. It seemed to be getting worse, but he couldn't figure why. It seemed, at first that he was just jealous. Makes sense, but the feeling had gone far beyond jealousy and mutual hatred. He was uneasy, and he NEVER got uneasy. Ginny seemed to bring that out in him, a lot lately.
