A/N: Dedicated to Zuvalupa, who fixed this up for me, thanks heaps for ur help!Well, I haven't written one in a while, mostly lack of inspiration, but it sprung out of nowhere. D/G obviously, but you know me by now right? Oh, and just so that u dont get confused Lucius Italics.

Disclaimer: Draco and Ginny, belong to JK Rowling (although I plan to negotiate that!!!) So I am unfortunately just borrowing.

Ginny Weasley stood with her back to Draco, trying to conceal the tears that made her shoulders shudder uncontrollably. He had just come into the Astronomy tower to meet her and consequently, had not yet seen the bruises and cuts that adorned her face, neck and chest.

"Gin?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"I missed you" He started as he encircled her waist with his hands, the feeling of his hands on her made her choke up, she reluctantly pushed his hands away from her, taking a step forward to get as far away from him as she could.

"What is it?' He asked worriedly, there was also a hint of frustration, as was true Malfoy Style.

"We can't see each other anymore Draco."

She could tell that he was metaphorically floored by her response by his silence. She wouldn't turn to him, she knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to do what she needed to, she would have to hold him and kiss him. Also, she knew that if she turned, he would see the ugly bruises. She could tell that he was shocked, but he eventually spoke.

"What?"

"I'm sorry but it is never going to work, you're a Malfoy for gods sake."

"That never mattered before."

His voice was rising, knowing that the Malfoy temper could rival even that of her brother, Ginny flinched at his abrupt tone.

"How long did you expect this to continue Draco?"

He reached for her arm, so that he could turn her to face him, she tried to tug her arm away but he was too strong and she turned to him.

The Astronomy tower was generally very dark, and tonight was no exception but by the gentle flickering of the torchlight, her face was visible. There was a dark purple bruise that stretched from her forehead to her left ear…

As her head struck the cold stone, she lost her footing and fell Her knees stung and her head was pounding…

She had a black eye…

His fist rained down on her body, striking her hard in the face…

A long deep cut stretched from her right ear to her chin…

The man on top of her breathed heavily and she heard the rustling of him getting something out of his pocket, opening her eyes as wide as she could after the long beating, she saw only the moons glistening reflection on what could only be a long silver blade. A sudden surge of pain erupted from the side of her face as he dragged the blade along her face, she was vaguely aware of the fact that she was screaming. Her body writhed and twisted beneath his strong frame, her skirt was torn and blood ran down her legs. Tears ran down her cheeks and stung the deep cut, mixing with her blood and dripping onto the floor. Her mouth tasted strongly of lead and as she moved to feebly push him away from her, she heard a crunch and when she looked down…

"What the bloody hell happened to you?"

"Don't worry about it, just know that I'm ending this now, before either one of us gets…hurt"

Brushing past him she felt him grab her wrist and try to pull her back, she screamed and dropped to the floor, clutching her wrist…

Her white school shirt was drenched with blood; she could see that the knife was buried to the hilt inside her stomach. She tried desperately to pull away, there was a knife in her ribs, which made her weaker and as he pulled her back, she heard another deafening crack, as her wrist was broken…

Only a thin stream of Draco's face was visible by the torchlight. His platinum blonde hair fell in short strands over his silver eyes His hair was long and white, his cold silver eyes burned her when he stared down at her crippled form Draco rushed to her side, wrapping his hands around her to lift her up He suddenly flew to her side, He wrapped his hard pale hands around her and lifted her onto his broom.

Ginny screamed and pushed him away.

"No, not again, you can't hurt me again!"

"Ginny, you know I would never hurt you!"

Ginny shook her head, she thought for sure that it was him, in a way it was, Draco was Lucius' son, the son of the man who had done such horrible things to her. The air blew cold and her stomach ached where the wound was. Tears filled her eyed and she crouched to the ground, resting her head on her knees, which were still scarred. "Just go Draco, it can never work anymore, I have never loved anyone like I love you…but I look at you, and all I see is him."

"Him?"

A sudden rage filled her and her head flew up as she stood to face him.

"Your father Draco, do you see what he has done to me?" She was yelling but her voice trembled at the same time. "Just because he saw me kiss you, do you see what he has done?"

His face fell, and he cast his gaze to the ground. His hands clenched into fists, she could hear him muttering under his breath and he began to breath heavily…

"Bastard" he uttered over and over. Then he looked to her, his eyes ablaze with fury. "Ginny, I am so sorry, if I'd known… I'll kill him for this! But you can't let this break us apart Ginny, I won't let you."

"I can't Draco, I feel…I love you…but I can't look at you without seeing him, I can't look at you without wondering if next time he will kill me, but at the same time, I can't look at you without wanting to kiss you."

Draco approached her, a sorrow docile look in his eyes, His jaw was clenched tightly, but Ginny was openly crying. She looked down at him as he pulled his wand from his robe, uttered a spell and every torch in the room was extinguished, leaving a slice of moonlight through the open window. He raised his palm to her eyes and covered them, they stood alone in the dark, and no one could see them here. "Then don't look at me." He whispered into her ear before covering her lips gently with his. He could feel the scar that sliced her cheek, tasted her tears on her lips. For that moment all was forgotten, all that was, and all that seemed right to either of them was that moment, in the dark.
