Ginny walked into the Gryffindor common room, her hands and body were shaking violently. Tears were now streaming down her face, only one thing could make it all better, only one thing could make it go away. She saw Harry sleeping on the couch, and she couldn't help but squeak a little. She slowly walked around him, trying to keep her whimpers hidden.

She walked slowly up the steps to the girls dorm and the door creaked open. She wiped her nose with her hand and walked over to her trunk.

Harry had pretended to be asleep when she walked in. She sounded really upset. He figured it was because of the little rendezvous they had a couple nights back. Had Draco found out? Had he done anything to her? Why could he have let it gone that far? He knew they both needed each other but it was the worst thing either of them could have done. He was the older one, he had initiated it. It was his fault, he would go apologize.

He got up from the couch and made his way up the stairs.

Ginny was in the middle of a cutting fit. She was sitting on her bed, rocking back and fourth. Her arm looked like it had been dipped into a bucket of red paint. She didn't know what she was doing, it was just compulsive. Over and over and over, even cutting over ones that had already been made. They were so deep it had looked like Ginny was mauled by a tiger. But it was her own rage and sorrow that had gotten to her.

Ginny finally made it to the place where she had looked for on her arm. They would understand, they wouldn't care, it had to be done,

Harry pushed open the door and saw Ginny laying on her bed.

"Ginny? Ginny are you awake...Gin I'm sor..."

The moonlight reflected off her very pale face. He touched her forehead, she was so cold. He looked down and saw his knife laying in her flimsy hand and there was so much blood he didn't even know where to begin. He threw off his robes, took off his shirt, and grabbed the knife and began cutting his shirt into tourniquets. He wrapped them tightly around her arms and he too started to shake. He heard her moan and she winced a couple of times, but it had to be done. The whole time he was muttering to himself.

"Damn it Ginny, Damn it Gin..."

He said it at least a thousand times before picking up his robes and wrapping her in them and picking her up.

Draco was running fast paced toward the Gryffindor common rooms. He didn't know how his feet were moving but they were. He had to get there, he knew something bad was going to happen. He was mad at her but he didn't want this to happen to her, not in a million years.

He finally made it there to see Harry holding a limp body. Ginny's hair flowed out from the rest of her body, he knew it was her. No one else had hair like her. Not that he had noticed anyway. He ran toward him, fear and anger in his eyes.

"Potter!" He screamed.

"Draco all things aside right now, we have to get help or shes going to bleed to death!"

Draco's eyes went cold and his body felt weak. He realized his worst fear had come true.

"We cant take her to the Hospital Wing, you know what will happen there. Counseling and her family would get involved, we both knew thats not what she wants or what she needs. No one should have to know."

"Then what the hell do we do? Where the fuck do we go Malfoy shes dieing in my arms as we speak!"

"Come with me, quick Potter!"

They ran to Draco's room, both faster then they have even run before. They traded off at the stairs and Draco ran quick. He laid her down on the bed and unfolded her. Her arms flopped out as if she was a rag doll. She had no expression on her face, it had looked like she was already dead.

Harry comforted her while Draco ran to go look for something to stop the bleeding. He checked to see if she was still breathing, and leaned his head over her mouth. He felt small frantic gasps for air. This was not the Ginny he once knew, full of life and so much more.

The blood had soaked through the shirt strips Harry had cut for her. It was no longer a white shirt but a crimson red one. The blood on her arms matched her hair. It really was a sick sight for the both of them. Draco came out of the bathroom with two potions in hand.

He instructed Harry to lift her up so he could give one to her. He got out his want and pointed it at her throat while he poured the pink liquid into her mouth. He mumbled a spell and it looked as if it had drained into Ginny's body. She was too incoherent to do anything, let alone swallow.

Draco pushed Harry out of the way and began undoing the bandages Harry had tied. Harry was a little unsettled about being pushed out of the way by Malfoy, but he lived with it. Draco poured the other liquid over her arms and it looked like it was bubbling on her arms. It was to stop the bleeding from the source and the other was to stop the bleeding from inside for a small while.

They both stared in wonder at the girl. Sixteen and already half dead, and all they could do was wait, watch, and hope.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the night, and Ginny showed no signs of life. Draco's head was buried in his arms in a chair he pulled up next to the bed. Harry just sat on the floor with his head in one hand. No one had spoken for hours.

"Listen, Potter, i know what happened. And i don't blame her as much as i blame you."

"Malfoy, i didn't follow you up here to fight. I know it was stupid of me, but..."

"But what Potter?" Draco threw a cold glance his way.

"But it was Ginny. Shes yours and i couldn't take the fact that she couldn't be with me for just one day. Thats all i wanted. But I'm not saying I'm done with her for good, I still want a friendship with her if its at all possible."

"Just remember Potter, shes mine. You had your chance and lost it. Don't think you've got another one."

Harry had known this was going to happen, but he hated to talk about it. He didn't have another chance, it was the most truthful thing to have even come out of his mouth. He was also surprised how protective he was of her.

"Ok well i think I'm going to head out. Someones got to be there to make up a story of what happened to her. Take care of her...Draco."

Harry made his way to the back door with one last glance at Ginny.

"Hey Potter..."

Harry turned around and Draco threw him a t-shirt.

"We wouldn't want you running around the school half naked now would we?"

Harry put it on and walked out the door.

"Not even a thank you..."

He sighed and looked down at Ginny.

"Merlin Gin how could this have happened to you?"

Her color returned a little bit and her arms had stopped bleeding so much. After the potion had taken effect he re-wrapped her arm with the same t-shirt Harry had ripped after cleaning them with a spell. He knew she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, but he watched her like she was going to spring awake and any given second. He didn't understand what it was about her that made her so irresistible. She was very beautiful, she had one of those naturally beautiful faces. She had a glow about her that wouldn't quit. It was almost angelic the way she looked. He didn't know the right way to tell her all these things even after all they shared. He wasn't used to this sort of thing, being able to tell people what he felt.

Ginny looked so peaceful and calm it drove him crazy. It was such a state that didn't seem normal. She felt nothing like she looked. She was cold and worn, like she had been left outside during a snow storm. He lifted her up into his arms and held her there for a minute, and then he lifted up the covers and put her under. He couldn't leave her alone, he didn't like her being so far away. He needed her. More then she would ever know.

Draco stayed right in that room with her, not leaving her side more then a minute to go something. It had been a night and a full day before Ginny's eye flickered open in the dark room. Ginny didn't know where she was or what had happened to her.

'Am i dead? Did i do it?'

Her own voice ringer in her head, and it hurt. Everything about her hurt.

Ginny moaned in pain and Draco flew awake.

"Ginny, oh Merlin Ginny are you okay?"

Ginny wanted to answer but she felt sick and weak. She couldn't push herself to go that far.

"Its ok you relax, just tell me if you need anything. I'm going to be right her next to you."

Draco stayed awake the rest of the night. Ginny would say things in her sleep and he would listen intently. It would be soft and quiet, until she got to saying some weird things Draco didn't understand.

"How can you see into my eyes...like open doors. Leading you down into my core, where Ive become so numb. Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold...until you find it there and lead it back...home..."

Ginny started to get louder and louder as she sang her song. Draco's eyes were wide open and he held her hand as she went on.

"Wake me up inside, wake me up inside,call my name and save me from the dark.Bid my blood to run, before I come undone, save me from the nothing I've become..."

Draco listened as Ginny sang. He didn't know the Weasley's carried any sort of...pipes. But weather or not they did, hers were good. She actually had a good singing voice. He wonderd why she had never told him this before.

"Now that I know what I'm without,you can't just leave me...breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life..."

She finished her song and Draco looked at her. She had started to wake up.

"Ginny you alright?"

"Mmm hmm. Just..."

"What Gin? What do you need?"

"You."

"I'm here Gin."

"Just hold me..."

Draco scooted himself closer and wrapped his arms as tight as he could around her. She slowly lifted up her arm and put her hand on his. Their fingers intertwined and they both fell asleep.

The next morning Ginny woke up with the light bright in her eyes. She tried to set herself up, but her arms felt like they had bricked tied to them. They were sore and tired.

"Hey Gin, feeling uhh...any better?" Draco said, trying not to bring anything up or make her uncomfortable. Ginny kept her head down and tried again to push herself up. Draco ran over and helped her up. He put a pillow behind her to prop her up.

"Thanks...Draco."

"Feel like you can eat anything?"

"No, but i could use some water."

"Ok, one second."

Draco ran over to a small table with food and cups and grabbed one with water. He felt better knowing she felt better. Her eyes weren't as red, and he could tell that she was avoiding looking at her arms. After a few moments of silence, Draco spoke up and tried to start a conversation.

"Ginny, what is 'wake me up inside?'"

Ginny looked kind of surprised.

"Uh why do you ask?"

"You were singing it in your sleep. 'Wake me up inside, wake me up inside..' Was is a song or...?"

"I heard it on a muggle sound system. It played music. Harry brought one over one summer and i took it in my room. I kept it in my room and i heard it a couple of times and Ive had it stuck in my head ever since."

"Oh. It was a good song. I liked it."

She knew he was dancing around the real subject, and she was glad. She didn't want him to ever get to that. She wanted to forget it ever happened. She wanted to get her wand and erase it from her memory. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, there was a knock at Draco's main door.
