Thanks to Zuvalupa and light barrer for the WONDERFUL ideas that I will so definitely use. It helped me out a lot. And sorry for not updating for a while; I told you I had no idea. But it was also that I was spending time slacking off because I knew that after break, it'll be hell in school.

But out of my boredom, I just wrote a small chapter for another story that I just thought of, "We love you, Professor Granger." Something like that; but it's not anything fancy. I was really really bored. The first chapter is all dialogue so it gets confusing. It's a D/G story, and Draco decides to fail all his NEWTS, but fails Hogwarts, and he has to go back another year, and falls in love with his teacher, Hermione. And so on and so on. I personally don't think it's very good, but if you are feeling rebellious, then sure. Go ahead and read it! I'm not promising anything though Thanks for your time!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It was absolutely captivating.

Ginny Weasley was speechless.

"I only want you." Screw that. The question is if I want you.

"Think about that one." Think about what? I can't do anything now.

I'm breathless.

I'll probably go to hell for this, but I can't get up the nerve to leave Howard.

"When you come back, which I suppose won't be for another year or five, then I'll think about 'us' again, but for now, there is no 'us.'"

Wait. What?

"There is no 'us.'" Ginny sat down against the couch of her, or Rachel's, house.

"There is no 'us.'" "There is no 'us.'" "There is no 'us.'" "There is no 'us.'" "There is no 'us.'" "There is no 'us…'" "There is no 'us,' you bitch!" Ginny smacked her purse forcefully to the carpet of the house. She could not get the memory out of her system.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

-A while before, flashback-

"Yeah, I'll warm up my baby, come out to the lot, Draco." He twirled a chain of keys on his finger and scurried off.

'I. was. almost. caught. by. Draco.' Ginny leaned against the wall. A fury of thoughts ran across her head. It was only the first day of school, and already, everything was so complicated.

She locked a stare with Draco. He looked torn between 2 things. Of course. Howard, or Ginny. He bit his lips.

"Um. Well. I guess I'm off then." She nodded gently and looked away. After another minute of lingering, Draco went off after Howard. Ginny leaned her thundering head against the brick wall.

"Yeah, I'll warm up my baby." A voice broke Ginny's train of thought. "Cause you're my baby. Right, Gin?" The reminder of Harry's distinctive nickname for her sent shivers down her spine.

"So… what's your answer?" Familiar lips casually brushed up against her blushing cheeks.

"I think I really like you, Ginny Weasley. I am so interested in you." Howard whispered into Ginny's ears. "The question is, are you interested in me?"

When Ginny produced no sound from her lips except sharp intakes of breath, Howard impatiently sighed. Then, he unexpectedly

Kissed her. Right then, right there. There was no excuse, it just happened.

And Ginny didn't regret it a bit.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After the whole incident and the school was deserted, Ginny found a dark corner and apparated home. Since then, she was lying on the couch, thinking of only Howard.

"I think I really like you, Ginny Weasley. I am so interested in you."

'I'm interested in someone else, Howard.'

But who?

She checked the time. There were still 2 more hours until Rachel had promised her that she would be home by.

'Now, I'm all alone, with nothing to do. How nice is Rachel? Leaving me alone in this big empty h-'

"Great. Hey, Tina! You don't mind if you take Ginny shopping with you, right?"

Ginny bolted up from her lazy position on the sofa. "Oh, SHIT!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Oh, come on… pick up the phone… god damn it, pick up the fu- oh, hey Rachel." Ginny stopped walking in circles around the living room.

"Oh, hey Ginny. What's up? How's shopping?" Rachel said breathlessly.

"Hah. See, here's the problem. I didn't go." Ginny plopped down.

"Wait. What? You didn't go? Why? Where are you right now? What happened? How did it happen? Did you forget?"

"No! I mean… yes. I forgot. I was so caught up in some stuff that it just totally blew my mind. I'm sorry… I'm at the house now, so I'm fine."

"Nah… it's okay. Tina and Flora and Waverly will be really worried… Have you called them? Oh, wait. Maybe they called me. Well, anyway, at least you're safe." Ginny smiled.

"Hey, I think I'll be a bit late. So if you get hungry, just get some food, alright? You remember where they are?"

"Yup. The refri-refra-refro-refr, aw screw that. The black tall thing right? In the kitchen?"

Rachel laughed. "That's it. The refrigerator. Gotta run, catch you later, kay?" Ginny smiled and hung up.

Slowly, Ginny trudged to her backpack, and pulled out all her notebooks and papers. Ginny grinned. She didn't go through half of what the other kids when through, carrying all their stuff. She had put a charm on it that made it feather light, but still with the ability to see all the things. Like a magic trick, she pulled out each important item one by one, when a white envelope fell out. Curiously, Ginny opened it.

Hello, Ginny Weasley.

I know something that will hurt your lover so much.

Would you like to know?

Lucius Malfoy is dead.

Yes. And I know that you are a witch. I know everything about you, and even things you don't know about yourself. I also know that Draco Malfoy is a wizard. I know very well. I am informed that Rachel is a blood witch. But, Ginny, I know much more. Rachel is not who you think she is.

Well, the only thing this letter will inform you is that Draco Malfoy's father is dead.

And I kill him. Be aware, Ginny Weasley. I am closer than you think.

Sincerely,

The faithful servant of the dark lord.

Ginny jumped at the sudden and unexpected off tune melody of her cell phone. Her eyes slowly glazed at the vibrating gadget.

Slowly, Ginny fingered her way to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's me. It's Draco."

Ginny felt a hot tear trickle down her face.

"Draco?"

"Yeah?" there was chatter in the backround.

"Draco, I'm scared. Come quick." A waterfall of tears tumbled around her delicate figures.

"What? You okay?" Draco sounded worried.

"Draco. Draco. Your father. He's dead." There was a click on the other side of Draco's phone as his own clattered to the ground of the pizza parlor. There was silence.

Draco ran.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hope that wasn't as bad as the other chapter. It was a bit shorter than the other ones, but I was reading my first story, and really, my chapters were like 300 words! But I think people should write shorter chapters once in a while because it was fun! Seriously, it was so fun to write. Then again, I just had to copy and paste from the other chapter and make it into italics. But the last part creeped me out to write it… I think the story's becoming a bit dark.

Ah, well, that's life.

Hope you the best!
