A/N-Okay, I'm posting really early this time because I was so thrilled I am on people's favorites lists. Thank you Lyra Silvertongue2, Skittering Hot Magenta, and Sunshine29, you guys are more awesome than the awesomest of the awesome at awesome world.

Disclaimer-Agh!! Don't sue me!!! I own nothing!!!

Ginny felt nervous seeing Professor Quirrel just lying there, using his old turban for a pillow, but she was head girl and she felt she had a duty to think this over thorouly and act in the smartest possible way. So, she did what any sensible person would do, she poked him with a stick.

"Ung?"

Ginny jumped backwards with a small gasp as Quirrel's head slowly lifted, but Quirrel was more afraid of Ginny than she was of him. He scrambled backwards and screamed.

"No, don't scream," Ginny cried frantically "Are you all right?

"I'm not a death eater!" Quirrel screamed, "Just let me explain!"

He was either mad or he had some *serious* explaining to do. Either way, the poor man looked like a skull, his eyes were empty of emotion, he was incredibly skinny, and he was extremely pale. Ginny decided to hear what he had to say, after all, she hadn't been down in that chamber, fighting him at Harry's side, so she didn't really have to believe *only* his account, right?

"What is your name?" Quirrel asked, breaking the silence.

"Ginny Weasly"

"Ahh, a Weasly, good, honorable family you are, I can trust you."

Ginny found a comfortable position on the carpet and said

"Tell me your story."

"I knew it," said Quirrel, smiling "There isn't a single untrusting soul in you bunch, well Ginny Weasly, lets start off with this, I'm not Quirrel. I am one Robert Larez and I know nothing of defense against the dark arts, but I am a charms expert. Quirrel is a brilliant man who doesn't deserve the fate he has now, he didn't even know he was ever a teacher at Hogwarts, but now he has to pretend to be dead or it's askaban for him. Any way, have you ever heard of the imperious curse, Ginny Weasley?"

Ginny nodded.

"He-who-must-not-be-named had me under it. Well, after a year of it, when I saw young Harry Potter come into that room with the stone and I realized how much he had suffered on my account, well, I fought it, just long enough to make one charm. Have you ever heard of the clonerconous charm, Ginny Weasley?"

Ginny shook her head.

"It makes a copy of you. The copy was what young Harry Potter burned with his hands, I ran into the innermost tunnels and got rid of he-who-must-not-be-named and have been living here ever since, for if I were to emerge, Ginny Weasley, I would be killed.

Draco sighed. He couldn't keep this up much longer. It was simply to challenging to avoid Ginny constantly, especially since he shared dormitories with her. It almost seemed like she was *trying* to talk to him. He decided he would just have to face the music.

"Weasley" he said, catching her in the library "We need to talk"

"Yes!" Ginny exclaimed, "You wouldn't believe what I found in those tun-"

"I don't know what came over me, I just thought you looked so beautiful-"

"Oh, that, that doesn't matter, I put love potion in your pumpkin juice. Malfoy, you must see what is in the tunnels under the dormitories" she squeaked.

"Okay!" Draco blurted immediately, he was so relieved to find out the reason!

"Great, I'll show you tonight. But you must promise not to tell, I mean it, Malfoy, this *has* to be kept secret!

A/N-so, apparently, now that they have kissed, they aren't fighting; I guess it can have after effects, huh! REVIEW!!!!!!
