Hey for sum reason ff.net aint displaying this story wen I update, but I'm working on it!

Oh yeah and I want idea's for new chapters. I know how it's got to end so that isn't optional, but anything else you'd like to happen? Let me kno!

Thanx 2 all reviewers!

On we go as soon as remember what I was gonna write!

Oh yeah!

Ginny shifted nervously in her seat, alone in a room with Draco Malfoy. The sex god of Syltherin, seeker, womaniser, life saver amongst others. He was eying her coolly from the other end of the couch, occasionally pushing his hair back out of his eyes. His eyes were laughing at her, even though his mouth wasn't.

Ginny narrowed her eyes at him, a look of icy resolve settling on her face. Malfoy couldn't take anymore and began to laugh.

Evil git. I never could master the way he could look at people and make them want to die. His eyes would freeze over and he would become like stone. So like Tom, yet so different.

"You have to focus your eyes in on the object. A little more, just a little…..wait, you got it!" Ginny smiled impishly ruining the effect. Draco sighed in mock despair. They stood in front of a mirror, Draco behind Ginny, directing her on how to scowl and turn people to stone.

Ginny turned so she was facing Draco's chest. He looked down on her expectantly. She stuck her tongue out, he smirked back. "Teach me how to do that one please," she commanded, turning back to the mirror. Draco chuckled softly, "Your wish is my command."

Ginny raised an eyebrow deviously as she reached behind her and pulled Draco closer to her. "In that case," she whispered, "Teach me something else."

I can read you like a book Weasley Draco thought as he bent down and kissed Ginny's neck softly. "Come with me then, Miss Weasley," he murmured in her ear, "And I'll teach you something worth knowing."

Ginny awoke warm and comfortable. Light spilled across the bed from the open window. The faint sound of the wind in the trees soothed her. Closing her eyes once more, Ginny smiled. Then something moved next to her.

Ginny sat up with a start. An arm draped around her hips, slipped away, and a muffled voice from somewhere to the left of her spoke, "Go back to sleep, Ginny." She knew that voice. Filled with dread, Ginny turned her head and looked down.

Lying next to her, completely naked save the sheet wrapped conveniently around his mid rift, was the body of Draco Malfoy. Ginny groaned and looked down at herself. She was in a some what better state, dressed in one of Draco's shirts. Ginny rested her head in her hands, going over what had happened the night.

The mirror, they had been messing around with the mirror, then …….oh god she thought suddenly I made the first move.

As pleasant as some people may think it is to wake up next to Malfoy, it can also come as rather a shock. Especially, when I wasn't pissed, stoned, desperate or suffering severe concussion. Not that I didn't want to. Draco had been the first thing I thought of before I went to bed each night, what I dreamed of and what I wanted each morning. I had a silly school girl crush on what was becoming one of my best friends.

I'm not sure why I did a runner. It wasn't my first time, I wasn't scared of my brothers finding out, actually that's a lie, I was petrified, let's change that to I didn't care. What I was scared of was to find out if I'd been used.

Draco slept around, no secret. I didn't want to one of those girls he just went to for sex. I avoided him and Blaise for at least a week before he finally caught up with me.

Then I did the stupidest thing imaginable.

I went to my brother for help.

But not until later.

"Ginny!" The voice came from behind her as it so often did, making her run away. She didn't know why she did, it was so childish. She could stay and listen to what he had to say but no. She was scared of what he had to say but she couldn't run forever. But today she would run. Maybe tomorrow she'd listen, or even the day after. Just not today. Never today.

"I expected better of you!"

Malfoy growled angrily, making some first years jump as they hurried past him. He stalked up the passage way, kicking the walls as he went. "You'll hurt yourself, you know? It's what happens when you kick walls." Draco growled again, this time lower and more dangerous. "Shut up Zabini, before I kick your fucking patronising head in!"

Sauntering slowly behind him, hands in pockets, was Blaise. She tutted cheerfully, "Tut, tut Malfoy, talking to me like that. You should know better." Draco spun around quickly and grabbed Blaise by the neck, pushing her up against a wall. "Shut up, just shut up!" he yelled. Blaise grinned, hands still in pockets, "Doesn't this bring back memories?" Draco tightened his grip. Blaise shrugged, losing the smile, "Have it your way."

Malfoy stared at her, watching as her eyes began mist over red. When she opened her mouth, long razor sharp canines were lengthening. She flicked her tongue over them, closing her eyes. Her hair was changing colour, from midnight black to tawny blonde.

Then her eyes snapped open, red and black. "Good bye Malfoy," she hissed softly, throwing him off her. He hit the wall on the other side of the passage and slumped against it.

Blaise smiled, satisfied. It felt good to be back. She was about to start walking away, when a groan omitted from the floor. Sighing, she waved a hand at Malfoy. "Now you will remember nothing," she grinned wolfishly and disappeared into the shadows.

Watching from shadows of her own, Ginny stood open mouthed.

Ok, this wasn't really a lesson in my life other than never trust appearances. But then again, there had always been something about Blaise, something that made her different.

I took Malfoy, anonymously, to the hospital wing, depositing him at the door. Then I went to Ron. I didn't want to visit Malfoy on my own. I couldn't take Blaise, not after her little metamorphosis. I told Ron I needed to talk to Malfoy about something he'd stolen from me, which in way was true.

Ron seemed happy that I had seen sense and wasn't hanging around with Malfoy any more so willingly agreed to come along.

I'm looking back now and seeing how long it was taking me to change. I was still acting like a Gryffindor, innocent. I wasn't though and that's what gets me. I can't see what made me who I am today. There is no big event, no life changing experience. I just changed.

Ginny pushed the door of the hospital wing open slowly. It creaked loudly, alerting the occupants of the room, to their arrival. Ginny had begged Ron to follow her lead and just stay quiet. He was doing amazingly well. Maybe it was the threats he had received off Hermione if he stepped a toe out of line.

Madame Pomfrey nodded at Ginny as she entered with Ron, and jerked her head towards the rear of the ward. "Last bed, be quick and quiet. Mr Malfoy is in no state for long staying visitors!" Ginny nodded her thanks as she hurried to the end of the row.

Malfoy sat propped up with big fluffy pillows. His arm hung useless in a sling and bruises and scratches covered his face. Ginny gasped in horror. Malfoy smirked half heartedly, "Like the new look, Weasley?" he asked croaked. Ginny stood still, her hand at her mouth. Ron, who had also been looking on in shock, suddenly came back to life. He nudged Ginny in the back but she didn't move.

Shaking his head and muttering about easily disturbed girls, he said "Look here Malfoy. Give my sister back whatever you've taken so we can get out of here!"

Malfoy raised an eyebrow, glancing at Ginny before back at Ron.

"Sorry Weasley, but if you mean her virginity, someone already beat me to it. I got there second." Malfoy laughed inside as he watched Ron go bright red and swell up to twice his normal size. Ginny looked at Draco wordlessly, before smiling slightly.

Ron, however, was not smiling. "Virginia!" he yelled angrily. She turned, "Yes?" "So you're no longer fraternising with the enemy, you're sleeping with him!" She nodded, growing bolder. Ron mouthed wordlessly. Ginny came to stand at Draco's side. Then leaning over she kissed him. It was too much for Ron. He left.

Maybe this was a point of change. I accept that I wasn't going back.

Draco and I spent the rest of the day talking. He apologised for letting what happened happen but he didn't regret it. Then again neither did I.

We talked about families, other relationships and just general stuff like that. It wasn't like us, and it never happened again. But we needed it this once.

When the topic of the Chamber came up, I told him everything. He understood why I said yes. I suppose it's his background. When I told him I wanted to see Tom again, he looked at me thoughtfully.

"How much?" he asked. Ginny looked up. "What?" she said. "How much do you want to see him again?" Draco repeated softly. Ginny shrugged, "Not sure really. I just know I'm meant too. Little feeling, call it women's intuition." She laughed. Draco looked her, she stared back. "What?" she cried indignantly. Draco smiled and shook his head. He stretched, "erhmp. Ok change the topic!" Ginny rolled her eyes and they fell into a comfortable silence.

"Has, erm, Blaise been to visit yet?" she asked casually after a while. Draco nodded slowly, "She did." Ginny let out a quiet oh before looking down at her hands. Then "Have you two ever been together?" she asked curiously. Draco choked on the chocolate frog he had been munching on. Ginny grinned nervously, "Is that a yes?"

After Draco had managed to swallow the chocolate, he nodded his head, and then shook it. "What does that mean?" Draco shrugged, "Lets leave it at the word drunk." Ginny frowned but skimmed over it, letting it slip to the back of her mind.

She'll never find out the thoughts fell through Draco's mind she can't. I won't tell her, Blaise won't.Draco knew his face was giving away nothing. Years of practise saw to that. Ginny would never have to know.

I was happy then, just for a while. I was going to be Draco Malfoy's girlfriend. I was going to have someone to talk to. And I was going to become strong.

Least, that's what I had planned.

Heyho I didn't like this chap, it was too bitty, too un ginnyish but I thought it had to be there. What do you want to happen nxt?let me kno!
