A/n: sorry it took so long to write this….School's started and I'm looking for a job, so I don't have much time….x.x For everyone who's been telling me that Gin's name is Ginevra, thanks, I really didn't know that. I don't want to go through and change all the chapters already done….but I'll be putting in the right name from now on…sorry 'bout that, Virginia was the assumed name for so long, I didn't realize it was different.

Draco's POV

The young boy played with her. She smiled like the sun, brilliantly shining. Everything so bright about her, calming to the soul so tormented. Of course, she doesn't have the father who beats her, but it's odd that she would be so alone, in a park after dark.

They laughed, for what seemed a short time, but was really hours. They never really said anything, just ran around, played and laughed together. Both so lonely, so afraid, and yet facing the world as bravely as young children can. He never really took note of her face. Just that she was always smiling, a brilliant smile on rose red lips.

For so long, her hair color, her eyes, everything seemed to be a shadow. He never saw them, not as they would be in daylight. Even in the light dress, the scant light leaves little to be seen. Even up close, as they've been the last few days.

Today, though…she brought him into the light, to look at a scraped knee. There he saw the most amazing chocolate brown eyes…and beautiful, fiery locks of hair…red, with highlights in oranges and blondes, that look like a fire or the sun…

Draco awoke with a start. "It can't be…!" He muttered to himself, shocked from the dream he just had, a remembered past.

"She can't be! It's not possible…but who else has those eyes…and hair?" Draco wandered into the bathroom, to shower and clear his head, not noticing that it's only 3 in the morning.

As the water rushes over him, steaming up the bathroom, his thoughts run wild, turning to the youngest Weasley, who's fiery locks of hair catch the imagination.

"Well Shit!" he turns off the water, wraps a towel around his waist and wanders into his room again, groaning when he sees the clock. Then goes back to sleep, to dream the same dream over again….

Ginny's POV

It can't be! There is no way that boy is that insufferable git! Snap out of it, Gin-girl…more guys than just Draco Malfoy have grey eyes and blonde hair…that could fit any number of guys…besides, he's was sweet…Malfoy isn't.

Gin sighed as she tried to clear her thoughts of a certain blonde Slytherin. She shivered as the sight of those beautiful grey eyes entered her mind once more.

"it's not fair for a guy to have such pretty eyes…" She growled as she looked at the clock and groaned at seeing how early it is. She goes back to sleep, to see those grey eyes that have been haunting her dreams again appear.

Next Afternoon

"Malfoy!!! We need to talk." Gin said, marching over to him. "This is NOT negotiable."

With that said, she proceeds to take his wrist and drag him away, from all the fawning girls who send glares after her and longing looks after him.

"What do you want, Weaslette….I'm a bit busy." Malfoy said, giving her his oh so famous smirk.

"When you were about eight…did you go to a muggle park? Wearing all black and hiding in the bushes?" Gin replied, seeming in a panic, but trying hard to conceal her confusion.

"….Yes….how would you know about that….?" He replied, looking suspicious. "Have you done a mind reading spell?"

"It CAN'T be!!" was her only reply, horror in her expression. "He's supposed to be sweet and kind!"

"Wait…..you can't be….the little girl? Who's been haunting my dreams for years?" Draco seems just as surprised as she does, though neither is really too surprised, having already thought it to be the other.

Ginny nods in reply, her eyes wide. "You were so sweet then…."

Draco doesn't seem to know how to reply. The girl he's been searching for all these years has been under his nose for so long, he doesn't know how to react. Finally he sweeps her up into his arms, hugging her.

"You don't know how long I've searched for you…." He said, softly, holding her close.

Ginny allows him to hold her close, tears of confusion, happiness and anger all flowing from her eyes.

"Why…why did it have to be you?" she asked, "why my family's enemy?"

"It's destiny. Have you ever read Romeo and Juliet? It's a muggle play. The son and daughter of enemy families are destined to be together, to end the feud, even should their love end in tragedy…" Draco replied. The two hugged, holding each other close, finally finding each other, after so many years.

Ron's POV

Ron walked down the hall, Harry and Herm not with him. He made up with Herm the night before, promising to apologize to Gin for not allowing her to make her own decision or trusting her.

I guess I drove her to my enemy…but I'll protect Ginny. It's my job. I can't let her get hurt by that stupid git.

As he walked, the voices of angry Slytherin girls could be heard, he decided to eavesdrop, having heard Gin's name mentioned.

"Can you believe that slut? She just dragged Draco off like she owned him or something."

"I know! I'm still shocked that he went with her…do you think she's the problem he's been having lately?"

"It must be…He's probably being blackmailed by the Bitch."

"I wouldn't be surprised….Weasley's will stoop so low that they'll blackmail, or eavesdrop. They'd probably bite if you got too close."

The girls walk down the hall, giggling over the last comment before returning to the subject of Ginny. Ron starts looking for her, furious.

What is she DOING with the git? She knows he's my enemy. If anyone's blackmailing, it's him. I bet he's trying to use her to gain something…

As Ron turned the corner, he saw two teens locked together in an embrace, the occasional kiss shared. At first he turns away, embarrassed, before realizing that the girl has red hair, the shade of Ginny's….and the other….white blonde of Draco Malfoy….

A/n: Well….this is a good place to leave off. Hope you enjoyed! Only a few more chapters left!
