Hope you enjoy this chapter. I just remembered that I said I would put a recap at the beginning of each chapter and I haven't so…I'll start that now too.

Rated: PG-13 – there's a lot of cursing…I have a potty mouth!
Summery: Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley find each other in their 7th and 6th year. But what happens when Ron gets in the way and Draco has to become a Death-Eater?
Fluff-o-meter: Warning…major fluff ahead. Barf bags will be given out if needed ;)
Recap: "Why are you being so sweet?" she asked. She never got her answer though. As soon as she finished Draco's face inched closer and closer to hers.
What Did It Mean?
Ginny groaned as the sunshine hit her face. She turned over on her side and looked at the window. There on the windowsill was an owl with a letter attached to his leg. Ginny got up and out of her bed with a huff and walked to the window. She let the owl in and patted it on the head. She took the parchment from him and gave him a reward that she took out from her desk drawer and the owl flew away without waiting for a response. Ginny looked at her name on the front of the letter and recognized the elegant handwriting as Draco's.
"Why can't he just leave me alone?" she asked herself.
She had been receiving letters from Draco ever since they came home from Hogsmeade, one week ago. She didn't want to read them. She didn't want to know what he had to say to her…she was too embarrassed, so like she did with the other notes she crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.
She walked over to her bed and sat on it cross-legged. She couldn't get the even of that trip out of her head. The ride there, the bookstore, the ice cream parlor and the…
"Ginny?" Hermoine asked peeking into the empty dorm room interrupting Ginny from her thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm here" Ginny replied racking her fingers through her hair.
"We're gonna be late for breakfast, come on get dressed" Hermoine said walking into the room and sitting across from Ginny who was looking down at her hands. "Hey Gin…you okay?"
Ginny looked up at Hermoine still in a little daze, but snapped out. "Yeah I just…I'm just tired." She said letting out a heavy breath.
She then got up and got out some clothes to wear. She didn't feel like getting all dressed since it was Saturday so she put on a pair of loosely fitting blue sweatpants and a white tank top. She quickly put her hair up into a loose ponytail letting some trendles fall around her face. After putting on some eyeliner to make herself look a little presentable she left for the Great Hall with Hermoine. Waiting in the common room was Harry and Ron.
"You're not going down in that shirt are ya Gin?" Ron asked looking at her shirt skeptically.
"For Merlin's sake Ron…what is wrong with my shirt!?" Ginny threw her hands on her hips and tapped her foot impatiently waiting for Ron's answer.
"You're kind of popping out of it Ginny!" Ron said raising his voice.
"It is a little revealing" Harry said in agreement with Ron.
"It's a friggin' tank top for Merlin's sake!" Ginny yelled annoyed. "Would you like me to go down in only my bra?"
"Ginny I wasn't saying…" Ron started
"Yeah just like you said I was a whore" Ginny snapped back.
"You know I didn't mean that!" Ron cried
"Whatever Ron, let's just go eat"
They all walked down to the Great Hall and sat down. Ginny put some food on her plate and started eating. While eating he felt uneasy like someone was watching her every move. She looked around the Hall but didn't find anyone looking at her. Not feeling hungry anymore she got up and left the Great Hall for the common room.
On the other side of the Hall just a few minutes earlier Draco got up and left. He walked to an empty classroom and waited for the special redhead, who stole his heart, to walk by. He knew that she would be alone coming back from breakfast because she always left early and by herself from every meal. When he heard the doors to the Great Hall open and close her took a quick peek out the door and saw her red hair. He turned back into the room and waited for her to pass.
As Ginny passed a classroom on her way back to Gryffindor she felt two powerful arms wrap around her waist and pull her into an empty classroom.
"Why have you been avoiding me?" The owner of the arms asked.
Ginny knew that voice. She had been avoiding him for the past week. Taking the long ways to her classes so she wouldn't see him, or she would walk with a group of people. She didn't want to talk to him about what happened.
Draco took a slender finger and lifted her chin up with it. "Virginia look at me" He said softly
Ginny raised her eyes and met his.
-FLASHBACK-
"Why are you being so sweet?" she asked
She never got her answer thought. As soon as she finished Draco's face inched closer and closer to hers. She closed her eyes and felt his warm breath on her face as he neared. Then she felt Draco's lips slowly press onto hers. It was nice. His lips were soft and warm to Ginny's surprise and he sweetly and gently kissed her.
Draco was not surprised by Ginny's lips. He knew they would be as soft as they were. She hesitated a bit, but then she let herself kiss him back. After a minute Draco's cool tongue grazed Ginny's bottom lip pleading for entry.
Ginny allowed and Draco's tongue explore every inch of her mouth slowly and passionately. Ginny then let her own tongue slip in deepening in the kiss to her liking. At that time she also wrapped her arms around his neck and lightly scratching his neck with her nails.
Draco let go of her face and wrapped his arms around the small of her back. He pulled her closer then let his hands roam up her back.
After a few more minutes they pulled away panting slightly.
Ginny touched her slightly swollen lips, looking down at the ground. 'What did I do?' She asked herself. Ashamed by what she had done she dropped her other arm from around Draco's neck and ran back to the carriages with Draco calling after her.
-END FLASHBACK-
"Why have you been avoiding me?" He asked again still holding her chin.
She leaned back on the wall and slid down in her face in her hands and started crying.
Draco knelt down in front of her and pushed a piece of hair out of her eyes. "Is it because of what happened at Hogsmeade?"
"Why did you kiss me?" she asked with her face still in her hands. She picked her head up and looked at him. "What did it mean?"
"Look Ginny, I don't know what happened but I woke up one day at the beginning of the year and I couldn't get you out of my head. You're amazing Gin…I don't know why I didn't see it before but I do now." He took her hands in his and laced their fingers together. "I want this…I want an us."
All Ginny could do was cry. No one had ever said things like that to her. Now someone was, but it was Draco Malfoy. What made it confusing for her was she felt the same way. She looked at their hands. It looked and felt right to have her hands in his. She looked up at him, stopped crying and smiled.
"Does that mean you want the same thing?" Draco asked giving her a genuine smile.
He looks so good when he smiles Ginny thought He's so incredible "I do" she whispered
"Whoa…I do, come on Gin that takes at least another day" he joked making Ginny giggle that made him smile again. "I love when you giggle"
"Well I love when you smile…it looks good on your face. You should do it more often" Ginny said matter-of-factly.
"Should I?" Draco cocked an eyebrow and Ginny nodded.
"You know what else you should do more often?" Ginny asked as she leaned closer putting an evil grin on her face.
"What?" he asked cocking his eyebrow again?
"Kiss me" she replied and put a huge smile on her face.
"That I can do" Draco said smirking then he crashed his lips on top of hers.
Ginny let out a soft moan of pleasure.
Draco smirked against her lips and slipped his tongue in to deepen the kiss.
Their tongues danced together in blissful joy. Their hands still tangled together untangled and Ginny put her hands on his chest and Draco put his on her upper arm. When they heard the Great Hall doors open and head the voices of Ron, Harry, and Hermoine walking back to the common room they abruptly pulled apart. They waited silently until they past the room and down the corridor. They both let out a sigh of relief when they could no longer hear The Trio's voices or footsteps.
"I better head back before they wonder what I've been doing." Ginny said looking down at the floor.
Draco put a finger under her chin and lifted it so she was looking into his eyes. "Meet me here 15 minutes before lunch, ok?"
"Ok"
Draco gave her a quick kiss on the lips, got up and left giving her a small grin before walking out the door.
Ginny put her face in her hands and squealed.
"Finally" she said racking her fingers through her hair. "Something good is actually happening to me"
Ever since she opened the Chamber of Secrets in her first year nothing went her way. She had trouble-finding friends and would follow The Trio around. She had no one to talk to and tell them her problems and she refused to write in a diary after what happened. She was in an all time low since her 2nd year. Now she finally had something, no someone to wake up in the morning for.
She stood up and smoothed out her outfit. Then she walked out of the room with a huge grin on her face. When she got to the portrait of the fat lady she said the password and walked into the Gryffindor common room. Still grinning like she slept with a hanger in her mouth, she plopped herself down on a gold stuffed couch next to Hermoine. Across from them Ron and Harry were playing chess.
"Why are you so happy?" Harry asked raising an eyebrow and looking at her out of the corner of his eyes.
Ron made a move and smiled.
"What? Oh nothing just remembering something." Ginny said snapping out of her daze.
Harry made another move and Ron smiled making his last move.
"CHECKMATE" he yelled triumphantly.
Ron never got tired at beating Harry at wizards chess.
Harry rolled his eyes, stood up and sat in the red chair situated across from the couch.
"Speaking of remembering…I remembered you never told us what happened to Malfoy after you ran out of the ice cream parlor and he ran after you."
Ginny's mind started to panic. Does he know? Oh Merlin her will be so pissed. "Oh…I lost him…to fast for the slowpoke." She told them hoping it wasn't obvious she was lying.
Ron glared at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Oh Merlin Ron! She said she lost him so believe her…it was a week ago!" Hermoine said throwing her hands in the air.
"Ok" Ron leaned back in his chair watching Ginny, who was biting her lower lip nervously, out of the corner of his eye.
"Anyway…" Harry said breaking the silence. "What are we doing today?"
"I don't know" Hermoine and Ron replied together.
"What about you Gin?" Harry asked looking at her.
"I have to go to the library…lots of Arithimacy work." With that Ginny got up and went to her dorm. She got the things she needed then left. She skipped down the stairs and quickly out to the corridor after giving The Trio a wave goodbye before leaving the portrait hole.
"Something has gotten into that girl," Ron said still staring at the portrait Ginny just left through.
"Oh let it go, Ron! She's happy there's nothing wrong!" Hermoine said after playfully hitting him.
Out in the hall Ginny was skipping down to the library. She was in the best mood ever since this morning. I want this…I want an us was the only thing playing over and over in her head. She always thought the combination of a Weasley and a Malfoy was absurd and would never happen, but it was right now. She walked into the library and sat in the far back corner where people rarely sat. She still needed to wait another hour and a half until she saw Draco again and thought she might die in that time. She sighed taking out her Arithimacy to keep herself occupied. About 20 minutes into it she slammed her quill down onto the table letting out a frustrated groan and put her face in her hands and biting her lip. When she picked up her head, her fingers running through her hair, she saw the figure of the boy that just claimed her as his and his as hers, walking toward her. She gave him a smiled and gave her one of his sexy smirks back.
Man she is beautiful. I can't believe she wants to be with me…of all the people she could have she wanted me' Draco thought as he walked towards his beautiful fiery redhead. His mind ran wild with reasons why Ginny would want to be with him and even with thoughts of why she wouldn't as he sat down next to her. All those thoughts stopped though when she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
"I missed you," She said pulling away.
"I missed you too," He said cupping her cheek in his hand.
Ginny closed her eyes and let him caress it with his thumb. When he stopped he gave her another kiss.
"So…what are you working on?" he asked looking at her broken quill and parchment.
"Arithimacy…and it a pain in the arse!" She complained turning back to it.
"Wanna go see something?" Draco whispered into Ginny's ear sending shivers up her spine.
She turned to look at him with a confused expression.
"Come on…there's something I wanna show you." He picked up her things, threw then in her bag then grabbed her hand. He ran out of the library practically dragging Ginny behind him. No one was in the library so they didn't have to worry about people seeing them holding hands.
"Draco…where are we going?" Ginny asked practically running just to keep up with him.
"You'll see," he said still walking fast.
They finally stopped in front of a big white stone door. Draco gave Ginny a smirk then opened the door. They stepped into the room still holding hands and Ginny's jaw dropped. She let go of Draco's hand and covered her gaping mouth. Set inside the circular glass room was a shiny black grand piano. Ginny walked towards it and skimmed her fingers over the top. She stopped and turned around to look at Draco.
"How did you know I play?" she asked him tears in her eyes.
When Ginny was 10 she heard someone play the piano in the park and fell in love with the instrument and music. When she got home she begged her mother to let her take lessons and Molly finally caved in and found someone to teach her how to play for a low price.
"I have my ways" he gave her a smirk as he walked over to her. He held her by the shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Will you play for me?"
Ginny nodded in response. She walked over to the front of the piano and sat down on the stool. "What do you wanna hear?" She asked letting her shoulders relax.
Draco walked over and sat on the stool next to her. "Anything you wanna play?"
"Okay" Ginny thought for a second then her eyes lit up. "Here's my favorite song." Ginny hit the first key and along with playing the piano she sang too.
"Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday you find
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand?
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand
in the palm of your hand.
Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
And he said he my take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand
right in the palm of your hand,
right in the palm of your hand.
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky."
She played and sang the entire song. Her fingers floated over the keys and her voice rang beautifully in the air. When she finished she put her hands in her lap and looked up and Draco.
"Where'd you learn that song?"
Ginny giggled and Draco looked at her weird.
"The song is by Vanessa Carlton. She's a muggle singer. Hermoine gave me her CD last year because she plays the piano as well. I listened to that song about a million times and I finally learned the song for the piano."
"Well it was beautiful" Draco leaned in and gave her another kiss. "Is there another you could play for me?"
"How about one from my favorite muggle movie?"
Draco gave her a look. "What is with you and muggle things?"
Ginny rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. "Just shut up and listen!"
Draco chuckled and listened to Ginny play.
"There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope"
"That was amazing…just like you" Draco said grabbing her by the waist and pulling her to him.
Ginny grabbed her face. "Draco…you already have me…you don't have to try anymore."
"I'm not trying" Draco kissed her quickly "you really are amazing"
Ginny giggled and her face flushed. "You're amazing too," she said.
Draco kissed her one more time laying her down on the stool. After snogging for Merlin knows how long Draco moved and rolled off the stool bringing Ginny down with him. As soon as they hit the floor they both burst out laughing. Ginny rolled off from on top of Draco.
"Oh Merlin!" She said catching her breath.
"That was great!" Draco said still laughing. He finally caught his breath then rolled over so he was leaning over Ginny and kissed her forehead.
Ginny smiled up at him then looked at her watch. "Merlin…its almost dinner time!" Ginny exclaimed. She then rubbed him arms up and down. "Come on…I have to go…and need to shower and do other stuff."
"Can't we stay here forever?" Draco groaned.
"No…come on…I'm hungry." Ginny gave him a sad face and Draco gave in and rolled off of her.
"Alright" He got up and helped her up to. He gave her one last kiss then picked up their things and handed Ginny's bag to her. "Outside this room after dinner?"
Ginny nodded and they left going their separate ways. Ginny walked to her common room said the password and walked, grinning the entire way.
"What are you so happy about?" Hermoine asked Ginny interrupting Ron and Harry's conversation with her.
Ginny shrugged her shoulders.
"Nothing" Ginny giggled and walked up to her room leaving a confused Hermoine, Ron, and Harry. Ginny threw herself on her bed and reflected on the day's events.
Down on Slytherin Draco walked into his Head Boy chamber and threw his things on the floor. He walked to his bed and sat on the edge of it. He looked out into space reflecting on the day's events. 'Life is perfect.' He thought.
A/N: Did it take me to long to update? hehehe Well this is the chapter y'all been waiting for…did it live up to what y'all wanted? Anyway…I know the whole Ginny playing the piano thing is kinda what everyone uses but the way I see it she won't write in a diary to express her feelings so she turns to music to do it. So please review and let me know what you think…like always I love to hear. Oh and thank you all who reviewed my last chapter especially TheAngelOfCrimsomTears, Bego2223, Ash Night, CoolMilena, DuskTilDawn, terrorofthehighway, and sandhya. Oh yeah sorry for all the y'alls…I have no idea what got into me.
Preview for next chapter: A Wonderfully Sneaky Relationship
He handed Ginny a box and Ginny took it. The box was just big enough for jewelry so she was excited and nervous.
"And tell Miss Weasley that she can come out of hiding and may accompany you tonight"
