A/n: Well, this is kinda a random fic, but I hope you like it anyways. I wasn't sure what to do it on, but I thought it would make a cute Draco/Ginny fic. So, here we go. I hope you like. This gonna have a small part of a song in each chapter and I plan for three chapters. We'll have to see if I can do anything past that when we get there.

Dedication:…No one yet, we'll have to see later…Now, on with the fic, Hope ya like! ^^
Chapter 1: Childhood Memories
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
when he was 8 years old
A little girl came through the front fence
holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smile,
said we cant leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go
but some day you'll change your mind
And Johnny said take Jimmy Johnson,
take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Mo
Take anybody that you want
as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world,
Daddy please don't take the girl
Young Draco sat in a park, unable to really play, since he was wearing expensive clothes and nobody wanted to play. Then again, there weren't really many children out at this time of night anyways. For Draco, night was a time to move around. A time when nobody would bother him, because nobody ever saw him. He was invisible to anyone who didn't look for him. Being only eight years old, he was still small enough to fit in small areas, and wearing all black made him hard to see once dark came.
As Draco pondered what to do, a small hand softly touched him, making him look up to meet the soft, chocolate colored, Doe-like eyes of a little girl. Her red hair was noticeable, even in the dark. While he was wearing all black, since that is all his parents would allow him, she wore a light colored outfit that was noticeable in the dark, especially with a small amount of light behind her.
"Would you play with me?" she asked, a small, warm smile touched her lips. She was even smaller than he, and obviously younger, though not too much.
Draco moved away from her, shocked by her gentle nature. His whole life, having been surrounded in pain, darkness and hatred didn't prepare him for the gentle nature from someone enclosed by love their whole life. Her offer to play also seemed too good to be real to the young boy, who had never had a playmate his whole life. He was rarely permitted to play with others anyways. And usually those he was allowed to play with were too dimwitted to understand him very well. They only sat around and ate while their parents planned some way to revive the dark lord.
"Oh…you do not want to play with me?" she said, a bit of sadness carrying into her eyes, but she did not argue or try to talk him into playing with her. Only slowly turned away and went to play by herself. Nobody seemed to be watching the girl, she seemed to be alone, much like he always was…
Draco hesitated before coming out into the light, where she could see him…where anyone could see him. Then he went to play, for once experiencing a childhood memory that was enjoyable, that allowed him to be free from his life, if just for a short time. Ginny welcomed him, and while he preferred not to play with girls, playing with a girl was better than just playing by oneself, or not playing at all.
As they played, Draco wondered whether she was from wizarding blood or if she was just a muggle girl he happened to meet. After all, the muggle world was the last place anyone ever looked for him, so he had come to a muggle park to escape from the pressures of his life. The few other children in the park had long since left, leaving the two children alone, lost in the world where they could be free from any worries. Neither noticed as the sky slowly darkened and became black altogether.
Soon they both just lay on the ground, staring up at the stars with contentment. Happily watching the few clouds go by and pointing out the shapes they saw in the stars and laughing. Enjoying themselves, as children tend to do.
As the night slowly chilled, a woman's voice could be heard in the distance, calling for her young daughter. The voice carried a worried edge to it.
How wonderful it must be, to have parents that love you and worry when you go missing. If I wasn't Father's heir, I would never have been born…I wish I could have a loving family like that…Young Draco's mind thought, wishing that he could have such a family. As his mind wandered, the soft gentle touch came once again.
"Thank you. Let's play together again." She said, smiling at him. Then she ran off, leaving him without a name. And he never even found out if she was a muggle or not…
Please don't leave me…Draco thought, but was too afraid to even utter the words. But just as he thought that, the girl was gone, leaving him to believe that she would never again be seen. Draco slowly rose and headed home, thinking only of the pain he would be sure to feel.
*****A few days later*****
Draco was once again hiding from his father in the park, preying not to be seen by anyone. Curled up in a dark shadow, he seemed almost not to be there. Hidden from the world.
Suddenly, a soft touch got his attention. Looking up, he saw the little girl again, smiling softly. Her big doe-like eyes drawing him in and leaving him with the need to play with her.
"Play with me." She said, softly and filled with the love she so freely gave. So, they once again played, the child full of love and light with the child filled with pain and darkness.
A few hours of playing and the dark filled the park. The chill set in, causing both of the young children to huddle together and take comfort from each other's warmth. It was then that Draco's father came, looking in a place he would never look. Upon seeing the children, his face filled with hate and wrath. He grabbed the girl, who's name was still a mystery to Draco, with a hard, wrath filled grip that sent pain through the young girl. As she squirmed to try to get away and cried with pain, Draco could feel an anger he had never before felt.
"Please…" He started softly, drawing his father's cold gaze. "please don't take the girl! Please don't hurt her any more!"
The father, stunned that his son would defy him, dropped the girl, who ran home crying.
I will never see her again…but at least he will never take the girl and her life. At least, she will live… Draco thought, thankful despite the beating he would be sure to endure…
A/N: well, that's done. I know the chapter is short and doesn't follow the song at all, but it'll fit in the later chapters. Please don't be mad at me…Anyways, I hope you liked. Please R&R. Thanks. ^^
