I don't own Harry Potter or any characters from the books. However I do own my creative license to change any little facts I want. That's right.
Chapter 31: Go Fish
"You know we don't really know that much about each other." Ginny told him as they were laying in bed that evening.
"What are you talking about?" Draco asked her.
"Well I don't know your favorite color, or book." Ginny replied.
"Is that important?" Draco asked her.
"It usually is, isn't it?" Ginny asked him in return.
"It isn't too me. I know everything about you that I need to." Draco replied. Ginny's face fell a little. "It's silver." he added.
"Really?" Ginny asked looking around the room that was partly decorated in silver.
"So what's your favorite color?" Draco asked her, running his fingers through her hair.
"Purple." Ginny replied. "My room at home is purple."
"Purple is a regal color." Draco told her.
"I didn't know that." Ginny told him.
"What else do you want to know about me?" Draco asked her.
"What you don't want to know anything about me?" Ginny asked him in reply.
"Whatever you want to know about me, I want to know about you." Draco replied smirking at her.
"What's your favorite book?" Ginny asked him.
"The Golden Compass." Draco told her.
"Isn't that a muggle book?" Ginny asked him.
"Yes it is, though really the book is so good I wouldn't be shocked if he had some wizard in him." Draco replied.
"Aren't you the elitist?" Ginny asked in reply.
"You are suppose to be Telling me your favorite book." Draco reminded her.
"Ok my favorite book, I guess it would probably be Ender's Game." Ginny replied.
"Ender's Game, weren't you reading that on the train up?" Draco asked her.
"I didn't think you would have noticed." Ginny replied. "Too busy being a Malfoy."
"That's not nice." Draco said pitifully.
"Oh it is so true." Ginny replied. "Really I was just pointing out how you have changed."
"Sure you were." Draco said sarcastically.
"I was." Ginny replied. "So what's your favorite book?"
"Changing the subject eh?" Draco asked smirking.
"Me? Never!" Ginny replied returning his smirk with her own.
"Favorite food, I guess it would have to be macaroni and cheese." Draco replied.
"Really? That's my favorite food." Ginny told him. "Well that and mashed potatoes, and pie and cake and any thing with chocolate." Ginny started to giggle. "Ok so I have the Weasley stomach, anything and everything is my favorite food."
"You freak." Draco told her.
"I agree, I am a freak." Ginny replied. "I'm dating you after all."
"You are mean tonight." Draco commented.
"I am not mean." Ginny replied. "I''m just stressed."
"You want to know what I think?" Draco asked her.
"Sure." Ginny replied.
"I think that you need to tell your brothers about what Dean did." Draco said kissing her gently on the lips.
"What good would that do?" Ginny asked sighing. "Ron would only feel once again like he wasn't a good enough brother to me."
"Don't you think he would feel like an even worse brother if he didn't ever find out." Draco replied.
"You just said it though, he won't ever find out. Only you and I know." Ginny told him.
"And Dean." Draco reminded her.
"Well Dean isn't going to say anything."
"I think your brother would want to know." Draoc said. "I really think you should tell him. And you know that the last thing I want is to help out your brother."
"Then why suggest it?" Ginny asked.
"Because he will kick Dean's smarmy ass." Draco replied. "And that prat deserves everything coming to him."
"Violent much?" Ginny asked.
"Just towards stupid prats." Draco replied.
"We totally got off topic." Ginny pointed out.
"We didn't really have a topic." Draco replied.
"You're right." Ginny agreed.
"So if I'm right about that, then am I right about you needing to tell your brothers?" Draco asked her hopefully.
"Yeah sure." Ginny groaned. "I will tell them tomorrow."
"Thanks." Draco said kissing her on the lips, his hand resting on the back of her neck.
"You owe me big." Ginny said quickly before she kissed him back pulling him closer to her.

"What are we going to do about classes tomorrow?" Professor Sprout asked Dumbledore.
"Classes will continue as scheduled." Dumbledore replied. "With exception to any classes outside. We will try our best to accommodate any outside classes inside the castle."
Professor Sprout opened her mouth to protest.
"This is the best that can be done. Full cooperation would be nice." Professor Dumbledore said quickly before Professor Sprout could say anything.
"Yes sir." Professor McGonagal replied. "We will all do our best to work together to keep our students safe."
"Thank you." Professor Dumbledore replied. He sighed quietly, within the past few weeks he had aged quickly worry showing in his eyes.
"Sir, has there been any word about the muggle parents?" Professor Sprout asked.
"No, we haven't been able to find anything about where they went." Professor Dumbledore replied sighing again. "I have some people working on it, but if we don't find them soon then."
"We will find them." Professor McGonagall replied interrupting Dumbledore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hermy how are you doing?" Ron asked her sitting down beside her on one of the couches in the common room.
"How do you expect?" Hermione asked wearily.
"Do you want me to do anything for you?" Ron asked.
"Just stay here with me." Hermione said leaning against him.
"I'm not going anywhere." Ron replied.
"Good." Hermione said intertwining her fingers with his.
"We went to go visit GInny today." Ron told her. "We walk in and Draco was making out with her. I wanted to rip his head off."
Hermione laughed weakly. "Considering what all we do, making out is nothing."
"Not when it is your little sister." Ron said.
"You should really let her grow up." Hermione told him. "I've seen her pissed, and when she is, she can take down anyone."
"So are you feeling better?" Ron asked her.
"Yeah. I just have to remember that Dumbledore is on the case. And you help keep me from thinking about it." Hermione said. She grinned at him. "You want to help distract me?"
"Any thing for you." Ron replied.
"Come on." Hermione said grabbing his hand and pulling him up. "Let's go to your room."

"You know sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I hadn't ever gotten Riddle's diary." Ginny told Draco. "It makes me wonder what kind of person I would have been. Would I still act the way I do, or think the way I think."
Ginny sighed. "I wonder maybe I would have been a more out going student or maybe I would be able to dream with out waking up at least twice a week without having nightmares. I don't even remember what it is like to sleep for a whole week without waking up."
Ginny rolled onto her stomach her head propped up on her hand. "I used to have really bad insomnia. I went to the hospital wing and got a potion for that. I almost got one that deals with sleeping patterns, but I didn't want to be one of those people who has to take potions to sleep."
"My mom nneds to take all kind of potions for sleep." Draco told her. "Sometimes I don't even think she knows when she is awake. I think she just thinks she is asleep."
"Yeah, that isn't what I wanted to happen to me." Ginny replied.
"I think she does that on purpose though." Draco replied. "If she can convince herself that she is dreaming she doesn't have to feel bad for what is going on around her."
"Don't you ever wonder what you would be like if some important event in your life hadn't have happened?" Ginny asked him.
"I wonder what my life would have been like if I didn't have my father." Draco told her. "I wonder what it is like to have parents that believe their kid should come first. With my father it is all about the pure blood legacy. When I was 10 he had me betrothed. I think that is when I first started to dislike him. Malfoy's don't like being told what to do. So he told me that I was going to have to marry this cow of a girl when I turned of age."
"Was she really a cow? Or did you just think that because you didn't want to marry her?" Ginny asked him.
"It was Goyle's older sister." Draco replied.
"Oh." Ginny replied grimacing. "That can't have been pretty."
"I told you she was a cow." Draco replied.
"I'm sure you guys would have made lovely kids." Ginny laughed.
"Ours would be lovelier." Draco replied and instantly started to blush.
"Is that an offer?" Ginny asked him laughing as his cheeks slowly turned red.
"No, just merely a observation." Draco said.
"Good because if we had kids Ron would really have a problem with that." Ginny replied still giggling.
"That's not what I meant." Draco said still blushing.
Ginny didn't reply, she just kept giggling.
"It isn't funny." Draco replied.
"You should have seen your face." Ginny gasped between laughs. "You looked so funny, scared and nervous and embarrassed and emotions I didn't even recognize."
"You are horrible." Draco told her, his face finally starting to return to its normal pale.
"No you are just embarrassed." Ginny said giggling. "I can't wait to tell Hermione about this."
"We don't have to."
"Oh no she would love this story, Draco embarrassed. It will really cheer her up." Ginny said. "Colin would like this story too. Too bad I didn't get a picture."
"Whatever, I will just deny." Draco told her smirking.
"Who are they going to believe, me or you?" Ginny asked him.
"Damn it, you, they like you more." Draco replied groaning.
"Exactly." Ginny said, her laughter finally dying down. "Draco you're funny."
"No, I'm not, I don't want to be funny." Draco replied. "I am not funny."
"What's wrong with being funny?" Ginny asked. "You don't want to entertain me?"
"I'd rather entertain you in other ways." Draco said kissing her.
"Yeah well those ways would get you in trouble." Ginny replied smiling. "Or killed, I guess it would depend on whether it was me or Ron that took you out."
"I'm not going to do anything to piss you off." Draco said kissing her again. "You have red hair which probably means you have a red heads temper. Therefore I don't want to feel the wrath of Virginia."
"Smart boy." Ginny replied kissing him.
"I know." Draco replied. "So what do you want to do?"
"Let's play a game."
"Not the game of Life." Draco replied. "I want to win a game for once."
"So what do you want to play?" Ginny asked him.
"Any game that you aren't good at."
"Ok I am really bad at Go Fish." Ginny replied.
"What is that?" Draco asked.
"Another card game." Ginny said picking up the cards up from the bedside table.
Ginny dealt out the cards and explained the rules of the game to Draco. They played a couple of hands until Draco got the hang of it and soon he was beating Ginny every hand.
"Ok let's play Rummy." Ginny said.
"No, I'm winning." Draco said laughing.
"But that means I'm losing." Ginny whined. "That's no fun."
"It is for me." Draco said smirking at her.
"I'll remember that." Ginny replied smirking back. "Next time you want to kiss up on me, see what happens."
"You don't scare me." Draco told her dealing out another hand.
"Whatever you say." Ginny said smiling mischievously.
"Don't smile at me like that." Draco said.
"Like what?" Ginny asked him innocently.
"Like you don't know." Draco replied as they started up their next game.
Ginny giggled evilly. "Do you have any 4s?" she asked as he handed her one. Ginny quickly ran through all the cards she had and was quickly out of cards. "So Draco how many pairs do you have?"
"Two." Draco said sighing. "I don't want to play games with you anymore."
"It's okay." Ginny said. "I have Fred and George they taught me ways to win most any game."
"I'm tired anyway. Let's just go to bed." Draco said yawning.
"Sure you are." Ginny said. "Like I don't know what your real yawn looks like."
"Can you blame a guy though?" Draco asked her climbing under the covers on Ginny's bed.
"I suppose I am a lot to deal with." Ginny told him climbing under the covers next to him.
"You aren't just a lot, a whole army couldn't control you."
"Being unruly is fun." Ginny replied. "Half the things I do, I do it just because it bugs Ron."
"Hopefully not dating me." Draco said kissing her.
"No the fact that this bugs him is just an added benefit." Ginny told him kissing him back.
"So much for seeing what is going to happen next time I want to kiss up on you." Draco said smirking.
"Goodnight." Ginny said rolling over turning her back to Draco.
"Oh you are cruel." Draco whispered in her ear wrapping his arms around her from behind.
"Good night Draco, I love you." Ginny said with a hint of laughter in her voice.
"Goodnight." Draco replied kissing her on the neck. "I love you too."
"Try not to snore." Ginny said quietly.
"I don't snore." Draco growled playfully in her ear, squeezing her around her waist.
"Yes you do." Ginny replied. "You admitted it earlier."
"I lied." Draco replied kissing her on the shoulder. "Let's sleep."
