DISCLAIMER: I wouldn't dream of stealing Harry Potter from JK Rowling… Just Draco. * laughs evilly * what? WHAT? Ok, ok… I'm just gonna borrow him.

Presenting [drum roll please] chapter 6:

~

"What the hell happened here?"

"Mr. Weasley! Do watch your language, I will not tolerate that!"

Ginny's head was hurting. Her mind was spinning. She tried to move but she felt too tired and exhausted. She could hear whispering voices. What was happening anyway?

She opened her eyes and though it was such a blur, she could make out the outlines of 4 persons and by the look of it, she was in the Hospital Wing. There, standing across her, was Ron, looking very furious, Hermione, eyes filled with concern and Harry, looking very guilty and at the same time concerned.

How on the earth did I get here?

She listened closely to the whispering argument, which was now getting louder by the minute.

"Madam Pomfrey!  That's my sister injured there—" Ron argued.

"And Malfoy," Hermione muttered.

"Do I care?"  Ron snapped at her. Hermione bit her lip and looked down at the floor.

Ginny felt her face get red with anger. You don't but I do.

Wait just a moment here… I do?!

Ron asked Madam Pomfrey, "Can't I just go and visit her so that I can ask her what happened?"

"For the last time Mr. Weasley," Madam Pomfrey exclaimed. "I doubt that Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy can remember what happened."

"But—"

"But I am quite surprise to hear that they were both lying there unconscious at the same time, at the same place. Isn't it…a bit of coincidence?" said Madam Pomfrey.

Ginny opened her eyes a little bit and stared at the bed across from her. Draco was lying there, completely awake. He was staring at them then to her surprise; he looked around then finally met her eyes.

Ginny gulped. Were they in speaking terms already? Draco shifted uncomfortably on his bed then looked away. She frowned. I guess not. Feeling disappointed, she turned her attention back to Ron and Pomfrey, closing her eyes.

"I have to ask you to leave, Mr. Weasley. Its 8 in the evening and they need to rest. Off you go then," she shooed them with her hands. Ron looked frustrated and said. "Wait just a moment ok?"

He went over to her bed and leaned. He held her hand for a second. Then he whispered something on her ear and with great difficulty, he went away. Ginny waited until Madam Pomfrey's door was closed until she opened her eyes.

Ginny sat up and looked down on the covers. She was wearing a soft, white silky gown. She sighed. Great, now she can't visit Hogsmeade tomorrow.

Look on the bright side; at least you're stuck with Malfoy.

Ginny frowned. That's the bright side?

"How sweet, the dream team came to visit Ginny," Draco retorted icily across the room.

"At least someone came to visit me." Ginny shot back. "How come you don't have any visitors? Doesn't anyone care for you?"

There was silence.

"No."

At once, Ginny regretted for saying that. His voice doesn't have any emotions at all. No anger, no sadness, no anything. She didn't expect him to answer that.

Draco was looking at her, waiting for her to answer. Ginny stared at the blanket.

"I do," she said quietly.

She stared at him but he quietly plopped back into bed and turned his back away from her. Sighing, she went back in bed and fell asleep.

~

Ginny woke up at midnight. She was feeling very thirsty. She stood up and headed for the pitcher, which was way across the room, near Draco and drank without noise. She shivered at the chilly air. Then, she slowly walked back to her bed.

Suddenly, hands were around her waist pulling her to Draco's bed. She let out a gasp of surprise. Next thing she knew, she was lying on the bed and Draco was on top of her, smirking in a very sexy way.

"Draco!" she hissed. "What are you doing?"

Draco didn't reply. He leaned over to nuzzle her neck. Ginny moaned instinctively. Her hands were pinned on top of her head by Draco.

"Wha—what are you doing?" Ginny asked softly, still aroused by Draco's sudden movements.

"Checking to see if you're still sick," he murmured on her neck.

Ginny giggled. "You're one hot doctor. Well, am I sick?"

Draco looked at her and smiled. "Consider yourself cured."

"Here's my payment," Ginny purred and leaned over to kiss him. She struggled out of his hold and they quickly changed places, Ginny now in top of Draco. She smiled naughtily and kissed his forehead then his nose then his lips working her way down his neck. Now it's Draco who's moaning.

Minutes [or maybe even hours] later, they were lying beside each other, Ginny cuddled on Draco's chest.

"What…what you said earlier… is it true?" Draco asked her.

"Hmmm?"

"Do you—do you really care for me?" he said uncomfortably.

Ginny hugged him tighter in response. Draco smiled in satisfaction.

Next day, as Ginny woke up, she found herself once again lying comfortably on her own bed at the hospital wing. She smiled slightly.

She slowly sat up and peeked at Draco and saw that Draco was hidden under his comforters.

"Thanks for carrying me back," Ginny whispered but Draco showed no sign of movement. Ginny shrugged and slumped back down to her bed.

Just then, she heard footsteps coming towards their room. She immediately hid behind her comforters and closed her eyes. The door opened and closed and Ginny heard the stern voice of Madam Pomfrey.

"Now I'm going to give you 20 minutes and that's it," she said. "And oh, keep your voice down, will you?"

Ginny again heard the door open and close and Madam Pomfrey was gone. Who could this be?

"Ginny." A soft deep voice said.

Ginny pretended to shift. "Hmmm?" she said sleepily.

"Its me… Harry."

Harry? What the hell is he doing here?  Not about that stupid fight again?

"What are you doing here?" Ginny asked as she sat up.

"I'm sorry Ginny," Harry said quickly.

"About last night? Oh don't mind that. I should be the one who's sorry—"

"No, I should be," Harry said shakily. "I am so sorry Ginny. I got so carried away. I didn't know what I was doing… I'm sorry…"

Ginny blinked. "What are you talking about, Harry?"

Harry backed away, and said frantically, "It was an accident, really. I was out of my mind. Haven't got an idea what I was doing back then…"

Ginny was getting anxious. "Harry! What are you saying?"

"I didn't mean to hit you and Malfoy… I didn't really mean to…" he added hastily.

"YOU WHAT?" Ginny wasn't the only one who shouted. She looked over and saw Draco sitting up his bed, his face red with anger.

Harry winced. "I—I'm sorry," he apologized lamely.

"You!" Draco growled and tackled Harry on the floor.

"Draco!" said Ginny, coming over to them, taking her wand out. "Silencio!"

Draco seized Harry with his collar. "You—idiot! You stupid---scarface maniac! You could have put Ginny in danger!" he was snarling.

Ginny smiled. Remembering that Harry was being beaten, she went behind them and grabbed Draco's arms with difficulty. "Stop, Draco. Stop."

And Draco did. He calmed down a little bit as he and Ginny went to sit on his bed, Ginny still holding him. Harry sat on the floor, his nose and mouth bleeding.

"Harry, you can explain now," Ginny instructed calmly and kindly.

"This better be good, " Draco growled.

Harry took a deep breath. Then he explained how frustrated and miserable he got after his talk with Ginny. How he went to the kitchen and ordered wine and got drunk. How he met Pansy on his way back and how Pansy fooled him in saying Draco and Ginny were playing with him, how they planned this to make him look like a fool. Harry explained how he got angry that he grabbed the broomstick from a passing Hufflepuff boy. How he looked for them and saw Draco first and hitting him on the head. How he flew his way down quickly and hit Ginny. And how he heard Pansy laugh evilly before realizing what he had just done.

"Oh how I loathe that slut!" Ginny said angrily, still holding Draco even though he's calmed down now.

Draco grinned. "Who, Potter?" he suggested playfully.

"Draco," warned Ginny, hiding a smile.

They heard the door click open and Madam Pomfrey said, "Ok, Potter, time's up. Better get going now." then she went back to her office w/o even noticing the scene.

Harry slowly stood up and headed for the door. Before going out, he said softly. "I'm sorry. I really am."

Ginny stared at his back then at the closing door, sighing.

"Ginny?" Draco said.

"Yes Draco?" Ginny responded, still staring at the door.

"Do you think it's my turn to hold you now?" he said sheepishly.

Ginny grinned. "I think I like the way it is now."
