September 6th

"It isn't working."

"It has to."

"It isn't."

"You still haven't told me what is suppose to happen."

"Someone might find out."

"So?"

"What if the wrong person finds out?"

"What if the right people do?"

"Fine, I'll tell you."

"So what is suppose to happen?"

"We need him to care for someone."

"Who?"

"The girl obviously."

"Why?"

"He won't want him if he knows that things can be good."

"So?"

"So what?"

"So who is the girl?"

"The one who is overlooked."

"He isn't overlooking her."

"Yes, but it's for the wrong reasons."

"But at least he sees her."

"She sees him too. She knows there is more to him."

"Yes."

"So it might still work."

"It might."

"What if the brother interferes?"

"He won't"

"Why not?"

"He is being distracted by someone else."

"Who?"

"The boy's friend."

"Is he doing it on purpose?"

"No, it's because he wants to."

Ginny woke up. Who was the boy, who was the girl? She pulled out the parchment that she had recorded the previous dreams on and quickly wrote down this one. One thing was for sure the dreams did fit in together. Ginny looked over the papers again and got a chill up her back.

She had to be going crazy. It couldn't possibly be what she thought it was. Surly not. But it fit. Sort of. Though it would probably fit for lots of people. But she was overlooked and Draco was the type of boy who would need a girl to be shown he can be nice. And she does have a brother that interferes and he is currently being pursued by Draco's friend, even if Ron didn't know it. She sighed. She must already be crazy. After all what would anyone want Draco for?

Voldermort needs a new body. What would be better than the body of one of the most beautiful boys at the school, who probably supports him. That means that she was suppose to show Draco that there was good. How was she suppose to do that? Maybe she could be nice to him and see if she had any dreams telling her whether it was working or not? Would that work? Ginny got off her bed coming to a decision. She didn't like it but she would do it. It's not like she actually had to care for him, he just had to think she did.

Draco woke up to find Blaise once again in his room.

"What are you doing?" Draco mumbled still half asleep.

"I have a surprise for you." Blaise replied.

"What?" Draco asked not really caring.

"I know Goyle's grand plan to shag the Weasely. I warn you it isn't a nice plan."

"What is it?" Draco asked sitting up.

Blaise's face got serious. "He's going to force himself on her."

"What?" Draco asked climbing out of the bed. "You don't wake someone up with that kind of news."

"Monday night, sixth years have astronomy that night.."

"He is going to Monday night.?" Draco asked to confirm.

"Yeah, if he can get her alone."

"This isn't good." Draco said aloud.

"He said something about proving that he can get a good girl."

"That isn't getting a girl." Draco replied fiercely. "That's raping a girl."

"I know." Blaise said seriously. "You have to stop him. I tried and well, I just got back from Madame Pomfrey's."

"This isn't good." Draco repeated.

"Yeah, because then you will definitely lose your bet." Blaise replied.

"It isn't just that." Draco snapped.

"I know." Blaise said looking down. "I just didn't want you to get down about your mom."

"Kind of too late for that." Draco said. "Are you sure he isn't going to do anything until Monday."

"Yes." Blaise replied. "He isn't smart enough to come up with anything else."

"So we have until Monday. No reason to worry about it now." Draco said running his hands through his hair.

"Are you actually worried?" Blaise asked.

"Yes." Draco replied quietly.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to see that look in her eyes that I see in my mums."

"Draco?"

"Yeah?"

"That was caring."

"I know. I think I'm sick."

"You aren't starting to like her are you?"

"No."

"Good because that would screw things up."

"I know."

Ginny was waiting outside the Great Hall for Draco. Breakfast was almost over and he still hadn't shown up. She was about to give up when she saw him.

"Malfoy." She said as he walked by.

"What?" He asked.

"About Hogsmeade, ask me again."

"Are you going to Hogsmeade with anyone."

"I don't know. I haven't gotten any offers." Ginny replied.

"What about Potter?"

Ginny smirked. "He doesn't count."

"Would you like to go?"

"Sure, if you tell me why you're asking me."

"Because I like having things Potter can't." Draco replied.

"Okay. I'll meet you at the gates at ten." Ginny said as she went to leave. "Word of advice. Don't tell Ron. He will kill you."

"I'm not stupid." Draco replied.

"When it comes to gloating, you are."

Ginny started to walk away from him but stopped. "You will never have me."

"Hey Ron." Harry said walking up behind him. "Can we talk?"

"Sure." Ron replied looking at Harry suspiciously. "What's up?"

"Well, I sort of asked Hermione to go to Hogsmeade with me. Which is why you couldn't come. We thought it would be best if you didn't know. But I felt bad not telling you and if you don't want me to go with her I won't."

Ron smiled. "She's your burden now."

"You don't mind?"

"No." Ron laughed. "Good luck."

"Erm, thanks." Harry said slightly frazzled.

"Don't ever tell her she looks fine. It's always you look beautiful honey." Ron said getting up chuckling to himself.

"Are you sure you don't mind."

"Nope not a bit." Ron replied. "Have fun."

Blaise sat in the Great Hall watching the Gryffindor table. His gaze traveled from Ron to Ginny and back again. He kept looking at Ron because he was hot. And he kept glancing at Ginny because he was worried about her. If Goyle hurt her than she would be broken. She was already on the edge of her own world. She always sat by herself at meals. She didn't really talk to anyone except for occasionally Ron, Hermione, or Harry. She use to talk to Colin but she hadn't really so far this year. A couple times he had fleeting thoughts about his bet with Draco. He was tempted to call it off, but he didn't.

Goyle came and sat down across from him.

"What do you want?" Blaise asked him warily.

"Nothing." Goyle replied. "I notice you keep staring at Ginny."

"I'm not staring at Ginny." Blaise argued. "And even if I were it doesn't matter."

"I already told you."

"I know what you told me." Blaise said getting up. "I don't want her so don't worry about it. You better watch out for Draco though." Blaise left the Great Hall quickly. He really didn't want to have to deal with Goyle, especially

Goyle sat at the table for a few minutes before he got up.

"Hullo Ginny." Goyle said walking up behind Ginny.

"What do you want?" Ginny asked him.

"I was just wondering how you were doing."

"I'm fine." Ginny replied. "Is that all?"

"No. I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me."

"No." Ginny replied. "I have plans."

"With who?"

"That isn't your business." Ginny said getting up from the table and walking to Ron. "Ron, Goyle is bothering me." Ginny felt kind of stupid telling her brother that, but she didn't feel comfortable with Goyle around her.

Ron stood up glaring at Goyle.

"Do you need something?" Ron asked advancing towards Goyle.

"No." Goyle replied glaring at Ron as he backed away.

"Thanks Ron." Ginny smiled as she sat back down in her seat.

"Ginny what did he want with you?" Ron asked as he followed her back down to her seat.

"He asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him." Ginny replied. "I don't know why. We have never even spoken before today."

"You don't like him."

"Merlin no!" Ginny replied disgusted. "How could you say that?"

"I was just making sure."

"Seriously Ron, how could you say that to me?"

"I'm sorry."

"You should be." Ginny said as she stood up. :I feel dirty I have to go shower."

"Won't you miss a class?"

"No I'm done for the day."

"Lucky you."

"Yeah well I just got hit on by Goyle maybe we should revaluate my luck." Ginny said as she walked away.

Draco walked into the Great Hall just as Goyle was talking to Ginny. He watched as Ginny walked over to Ron, said something to him and stepped back. Ron got up and the anger he was feeling was apparent all over his face. Draco smirked as Goyle backed away like a scared dog. Maybe that would take care his worries for Monday. Goyle walked back over to the table and stared at Ginny as she left the Great Hall. And Draco started to worry again.

"I'm going to Hogsmeade with Ginny." Draco said sitting down across from Goyle. "I know about your plans for Monday."

"What are you going to do about it?" Goyle asked him.

"Nothing and do you want to know why?" Draco asked him.

"Why?"

"Because when I see you touch her I will kill you." Draco stood up towering over him. "Do you understand me? You've lost."

"You can't stop me." Goyle said standing up and staring Draco in the eye.

"Don't tempt me." Draco replied. Draco turned and walked out of the Great Hall. Ginny was as good as his and Goyle wasn't going to screw that up for him. And a very very very small part, that he wasn't admitting to himself was that he didn't want her to get hurt. But he wouldn't admit that to himself. And he wasn't kidding he would kill Goyle before he was able to hurt her.

Ginny had spent the rest of the day in the library drawing and studying. She didn't feel like dealing with people. Everyone was acting weird. Especially the Slytherins. All of a sudden they were talking to her, asking her out. What was next, marriage proposals. Ginny was busy drawing Goyles face when Ron had started to advance towards him. It was funny to see such a large guy scared of Ron.

"Drawing?" Draco said walking up behind her. "Is that all you ever do?"

"Shouldn't you be in class or something?" Ginny asked not looking up.

"It's after dinner." Draco replied. "How long have you been here?"

"Since after lunch." Ginny replied. "And yes, I have been drawing."

"Hopefully not just on that one picture." Draco said looking over her shoulder. "Why would someone draw that."

"His face was quite funny." Ginny replied. "Though Ron probably could hurt him." She looked up at him. "He could hurt you too."

"No he couldn't." Draco replied sitting down.

"Sure he can't." Ginny replied sarcastically. "Do you want something?"

"Actually I do." Draco replied. "Goyle, has he been bothering you a lot lately?"

"Not really until today." Ginny replied. "Funny thing, he asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him." Ginny shook her head. "Why?"

"Nothing." Draco replied. "I just heard a rumor."

"What?" Ginny asked him.

"Nothing." Draco replied getting up. "I wouldn't stay out after curfew."

"I'll keep that in mind." Ginny nodded.

"Here." Draco said dropping a little package on the table as he walked away.

Ginny unwrapped it to find that it was sandwiches. She would have called a thanks to him but she didn't want to be hushed by Madame Pince.

Ginny ate her sandwiches as she finished the picture of Goyle. Then she got up and went to bed it was late and she needed to get a good nights sleep.

Blaise was waiting for Draco in his room.

"What Blaise?" Draco asked sighing.

"Ron and I are hanging out tomorrow."

"I know." Draco replied trying to get him to hurry and get to the point.

"I'm nervous."

Draco laughed. "You are nervous? Why?"

"Because I'm hanging out with Ron all day."

Draco rolled his eyes. "It isn't that big of a deal. Just be yourself. I'm sure if he is gay he will love you."

"If he's gay."

"Well you can't help it if he's not. Unless of course all this time you were right and you can just convert someone in one night." Draco smirked.

"I'm not planning to do anything."

"Of course not." Draco replied. "Because he is a good Gryffindor, and you should probably be a good Gryffindor." Draco looked at Blaise. "How did you end up in Slytherin."

"At the time I wanted to be a Slytherin." Blaise replied shrugging.

Draco smirked at Blaise. "Guess who is going to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow."

"I thought she turned you down."

"She changed her mind. So you really need to keep Ron occupied." Draco replied.

"Don't screw up." Blaise said as he started out of Draco's room. "Or else you will end up leaving this room every night, not me."

"Keep dreaming."

"You don't want me to dream." Blaise smirked. "Because in them neither of us leave the room at night."

"Get out!"

"I'm going." Blaise said smirking. "Sweet dreams."

"Yeah right." Draco called.

Draco pulled out a spare piece of parchment and started a letter to his father.

Lucious,

You and I do not share opinions on what I will do with my life. I don't want to worship your dark lord. I'm sorry but no, I will not be getting my dark mark. The threat was a nice touch though.

Draco

Draco rolled up the parchment and hurried up the owelry. He called his owl down to him and tied it to his leg.

"You know where to take this." Draco said straightening the feathers on the owl's back. "If it doesn't get there though, it is okay."

The owl gave out a soft hoot before it flew off Draco's shoulder. Draco made his way back down to his room and went to sleep. A very uneasy sleep.
