Ginny awoke the next morning. Still feeling weak.

Draco was still sound asleep. She slid under his arm and moved out from under him. She grabbed her clothes and dressed as fast as she could. Ginny didn't want to be there when he woke. Just for some odd reason it felt wrong. She wanted to see him later...just now right now.

After sliding her robes on and tieing her hair back, she had one last look at what had happened the night before.

She felt so different walking those steps as a brand new person. She stepped out into the hallway, looking around. Kids pointing and whispering. Ginny really didn't care this time. She just smiled and waved.

She inched up her sock and moved along. Ginny didn't feel one bit scared to walk past people with confidence. It was a brand new feeling.

She made her way up to the portrait, and said 'Fikled Fig' and entered into the room.

People stopped and stared at her as the portrait swung open, wondering what was different. Harry watched her like a hawk from the back of the room. He saw her smile and put a loose hair behind her ear. Harry closed his book and dissapeared from the crowed.

Ginny couldnt explain it, but she felt happy. She felt a little older and more mature. Just that little thing that happend, made a world of difference. Her life was somewhat clear now.

She felt like she was free, like her mind was cleared. She didnt have a grudge in the world. Just than she felt a tap on her arm. She swirled around afraid of who it might be.

Ginny grasped her robes,

"Harry, its just you, I..."

"How does it feel?"

"What do you mean?"

Ginny cleared her throat and looked down at the ground, afraid to look into his now peircing green eyes.

"I saw you visited Draco..."

She was still silent.

"Yea so what?"

She threw her robes on the floor and went to the bathroom.

Ginny just looked in the mirror at herself and the Harry not to far behind her.

"I hope your happy. Enjoy it while it lasts."

He sounded sincere but there was something about his voice that told Ginny otherwise.

She sighed and glanced down for one second.

"Listen, Harry, your not my keeper..."

He was gone.

Ginny rolled her eyes and made her way back to her bed. She opend up her trunk to get out some clean clothes. She saw the fake silk cloth and her body stopped one second as her mind started to wonder. The year, starting from the begining, flashed by in her mind in a matter of seconds. Her life as she knew it changed and turned so often, she even didnt know who she was anymore. It had been so different every passing second. From the moment her first cut was made, till last night when she was staring up in Draco's eyes with fear and wanting. All she could remember was his eyes in the dark. He stared right at her the whole time, as if making sure she was okay.

Harry had made her feel kind of bad. But why should she feel bad for him? After all these years. After all she went over to get through this. But the one thing that made her happy could be...steps away. She had to see him again. Even if it only was for one second that made her happy it made her happy and nothing ever did. She was going to see him. She would meet Draco later.

---

A couple days went by, very quickly for Ginny. Teachers leaving notes with Hermione for not going to classes, teachers stopping her in the hall. But there was only one thing she went for...Draco. In the morning, before class, maybe during class, after class...

She would meet him on his Prefect duties or they would ditch class or sneak out of class. They went for Draco's room the most because of the secret passage, but they sometimes went to Ginny's dorm and the Hidden Tower.

Of course Draco wasnt questioning this one bit at all. He was a guy after all, and all he knew in his mind was ' this is fun! '. She didn't know why she wanted it, she just needed it. To keep her happy and her minds uttered words at bay. It made her happy and thats all she knew.

But where had she had this feeling before?

Ginny had forgotten all she was upset about and all that crossed her mind was happiness. She didnt care that she was failing school, she didnt care that teachers wer worried, she didnt care that her mother and father would be most upset...she just didnt care. And why should she have to? It was her life and her rules at Hogwarts. Her Teachers were giving her second chances at many things. So, when there was time for work, which wasnt very often while Draco was still at school, she would do it. This went on for about two weeks untill when one day Ginny shut the door behind her in Draco's room.

"Hey Gin."

"Draco...Whats with the bags?"

"Listen, my fathers hosting the Dark Mark Cerimonies. Vol-... he likes to meet the trainees before it happend. So me and a lot of the Slytherins...well...90 of them...will be going tonight at midnight. We will be back on monday. Its just one weekend Ginny."

She had forgotten he was a Slytherin, along with many things, and this sort of shocked her. She wasnt going to stop him of course, but how would she deal without her happiness beside her at all times.

"Midnight, thats just in a half hour."

"Yea, so lets make this a quick one okay?"

She knew what he was talking about. But she didnt know what to do.

"Ginny? Oh come off it, I'll be back, you will be fine without me."

She wasnt so sure of that.

"Uh, yea, i will."

Ginny smiled a sort of slanted smile and looked over the two bags. What would they be doing for that long?

"So?"

Ginny looked up at Draco.

"No, no...not right now."

"Okay well id better get downstairs. She you when i get back."

He left her with one kiss on the cheek.

His front door closed behind him. He had left. Who was going to take her pain away? She saw a Slytherin scarf of the floor and picked it up. It smelled like him. She folded it up and stuck it in a pocket on the inside of her robes. Ginny exited out the back way when she heard the pop of the Slytherins leave the campus.

Solmnly she walked down the spiral staricase and down the halls toward the Hidden Tower. Again, she turned the corner to find someone unexpected. she turned and tried to walk back as quietly as she could

"Ginny wait."

She squinted her eyes and knew she was cought.

"Yes Harry?"

"Headed somewhere?"

"Uhh, yea, dorms."

She smiled and turned around to face him.

"You know your going the wrong way?"

Ginny laughed a little bit.

"Yea okay im not."

"I know where your going, come on i'll go with you."

Harry hung onto her shoulder and walked through the wall that lead to the room.

"I snuck some butterbeer from the Room of Requirement."

He handed her one and put the rest on the table. She glady opened it up and drank it fast. Although it really didnt have as much of an effect as other types, it took a lot to get someone drunk.

Harry looked at Ginny and knew something was wrong. They got to talking, and a couple tears later, Harry was holding her in his arms. She felt safe there, like with Draco...Draco! She lifted herself up.

"Whats wrong Gin?"

"Nothing, no no im fine....just like he said."

"Who?What?"

"Nothing."

He wasnt here, who was going to comfort her, nothing was working...

Harry moved in and kissed her hard. Ginny didnt do anything. Those feelings fo happiness where comming back, so why stop it? They started to move faster and things around them started to change. Ginny was more fulfilled by this. Someone knew to make her happy. But the next morning, her worst fears and lost dreams would be realized.

She lay on top of her brothers best friend, her first love, her hero, without a trace of clothing.
