(A/N: I just update too quickly for you guys to give me reviews... give me reviews!

I'm getting asked for page breaks. I'm sorry guys I didn't know my stars weren't showing up. I use to put horizontal rules in, the lines that run across the page, but they stopped working. It seems stars don't work either. I will try and use something else. Also I did go back and hopefully fix chapter 4, so if you want to go read it without being confused you can.

AND Samsam aka sam (Or whatever your name is, I don't have pulled up at the moment) I did get the bg thanks! IT's cute!)

Chapter Five: Stalking Cameron

"Aren't you suppose to be a cold heartless bastard?" Ginny asked as she sipped her wine.

"Not necessarily. That's just what I wanted everyone to believe."

"Why?"

"Because that is what my father wanted. And it is easier to give him what he wants then to do what I want."

"So, how do you expect someone to believe that you grew up with your father and didn't end up like him?"

"I don't. But then they didn't see the things I did. They didn't grow up living my life. So they wouldn't really understand why I could never grow up to be like that man."

"What was your life like?" Ginny asked capturing his eyes with her own.

"It was hard."

"How?"

"I was constantly suppose to be perfect. I had to always be this person my father saw as perfect. No one is perfect. And when I wasn't perfect, he would make sure I knew it, and that I would remember how imperfect I was."

"How?"

"That isn't exactly first date material to talk about."

"We've known each other for six years, you might as well spill it." Ginny told him.

"He likes to see people bleed. He likes to hear the scream. The more fight you put up the sooner he leaves you alone. But the less of a fight the more he puts you in pain."

"How did he do that?"

"Do what?"

"Put you in pain?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because you expect me to trust you and like you and I can't do that unless I know why you are the way you are. And why you aren't the way people have always seen you to be."

"My father was a big fan of medieval torture devices." Draco replied. "He was also a big fan of having me watch him hurt other people, namely my mother."

Ginny gasped.

"I told you this wasn't first date material."

"So, when your father got put in jail, why didn't you change then?"

"It wasn't safe."

"Why not?"

"Because Voldermort was back and he had eyes everywhere."

"Oh."

"I know what I did in the past was wrong. I know I treated people badly, and I can't change what i've done. But, I can treat people better now."

"What about all the wise cracks about my family?"

"When I was younger and just starting out in that school, I was a brat. And most of the time I meant what I said, when I was younger. But when I got older and grew out of that stage it was too late for me to stop because it was expected of me. I was wrong for what I did."

"When did you become so humble?"

"When my father cut me off." Draco replied. "You get humble really quickly when you have to ask your friends for money. You learn there are more important things then what people think of you."

Ginny nodded. "I'm shocked, you don't piss me off as much as I thought you would."

"That's good."

"I suppose."

Ginny looked down at her plate. "You're still arrogant."

"Mostly yes."

"Why?"

"Because women still react when I walk in a room." Draco shrugged.

Ginny laughed.

"What?" Draco asked.

"Nothing, that was just funny for some reason." Ginny replied.

"I'm glad I could entertain."

"So am I." Ginny nodded.

"Would you fancy some desert?" Draco asked her.

"Of course, I am a girl, am I not."

"Well you do react when I walk in a room, so I suppose so."

"I did no such thing."

"I made you self conscious."

"A lot of people make me self conscious." Ginny replied. "You are no exception."

"Maybe one day I will be."

Ginny soaked in the tub as she thought. She thought about things she really didn't want to, but she couldn't help it, the memories just wouldn't leave her brain. Maybe she was a masochist. Maybe that's why she couldn't think of anything besides stuff that hurt her to think about.

Ginny was about to climb out when she heard a knock.

"Gin, are you still alive."

"Yes, Colin, what do you need?"

"Nothing." Colin called through the door. "You've just been in there for a while so I wanted to check on you."

"I'm good, just thinking." Ginny called back.

"We got an owl from Draco."

"Really? What does it say?"

"Just that his fiance is going shopping today in Diagon Alley."

"That's nice to know."

"Yeah, anyways she is leaving their home at ten."

"I'll be ready by then."

Ginny appeared an hour later in the living room. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah." Colin nodded as he handed her a bad. "I packed everything we need."

Ginny was shaking when she arrived home.

"What's wrong?" Colin asked seeing the stricken look upon Ginny's face.

"Remember how you told me that I was overreacting about my mail?" Ginny demanded, advancing upon Colin. "Remember how you said that I was being silly?"

"What happened?"

"I was almost-" Ginny stopped and took a deep breath. "I was attacked tonight. I was immobilized and couldn't move. He threatened to kill me, threatened to hurt me."

"Who?"

"I told you that someone was stalking me. I told you, and you didn't believe me!" Ginny accused him. "My best friend didn't even trust me that I knew when someone was stalking me."

Ginny fell to the ground and started to cry. "I could have been killed."

"I'm so sorry." Colin said dropping to the ground beside her and pulling her to him. "I'm so sorry."

Ginny didn't answer as she sat there and cried. After a few minutes she pushed Colin away and stood up. She wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "This isn't ever going to happen again. I'm never going to have this happen again."

"What are you talking about?" Colin asked standing up beside her.

"What I'm saying, is that no one will ever be able to stalk me again."

"How do you plan to do that?" Colin asked.

"I'm going to find out everything about spying and espionage that I can." Ginny replied. "The only way to beat your enemy is to know what your enemy knows and then learn more."

"You're talking crazy." Colin told her. "You work in the transportation department at the ministry. How do you expect to learn how to track people and to spy on people."

Ginny laughed. "You are unbelievable. Why can't you just support me. In case you haven't noticed I'm not stupid."

"Yeah, but that is what Auror's do."

"Yeah well they wanted me to be an Auror, I just chose not to." Ginny bit at him.

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" Colin asked confused.

"Because you wanted me to go off to Artemsis's Finishing School for Witch's and Wizard's." Ginny replied. "And they don't teach you how to become an Auror there."

Ginny turned from Colin and started to her room. She stopped once she got to the door, "If you can't learn to trust me and support me then you can move out."

With that said she slammed her door shut and threw herself onto her bed, collapsing in tears.

She sat at a table in one of the little coffee shops that occupied Diagon Alley as she watched Carmen talk with a middle age wizard. Colin had already snapped a picture of him so that they could show the picture to Draco and find out if this guy was a threat. The thing about spying on someone was that 95 of the time it is very boring and so far the day had gone along very boring.

Ginny was sort of hoping that this guy they were watching Carmen flirt with was a threat to Draco. At least then they would find a scandal to entertain them. Of course, they were never lucky enough to see the good stuff their first day on the job.

Ginny watched as Carmen said goodbye to her companion. She looked at Colin, "Ready?"

Colin nodded and stood up. They gave each other a hug like they were parting and left the shop, each turning a different way. This was a ritual that both Colin and Ginny were familiar with. They would leave in separate directions, one of them would end up going in the direction of the person they were spying on and the other would eventually circle around and meet up again, only the would look different.

Ginny didn't look up from her book as the door opened. She didn't look up as he came and walked in front of her and stood. She didn't look up when he coughed to get her attention. She only looked up when he reached down, took her book and closed it, without saving her place.

"We have to talk." Colin told her as he sat on the coffee table across from her.

"No, we don't." Ginny disagreed reaching for her book. "You have to give me my book back."

"I'm sorry I didn't trust you. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." Colin told her holding her book out of her reach. "I'm going to support you now though."

"How?" Ginny asked.

"If you are going to learn all this stuff, then so am I." Colin told her. "We are a team, right?"

"What about your job at the paper?"

"I was getting tired of that job." Colin shrugged. "So what do you say?"

"Okay." Ginny nodded.

"So what do we do first?"

"See those books over there?" Ginny asked pointing towards the table. "We read those."

"All of them?"

"Yes."

"That's a lot of books."

"I have a lot to learn." Ginny replied with a shrug. "You don't have to help me."

"No, It will be fun." Colin told her, handing her book back to her. "But, what exactly are you going to do once you know all this."

"Open up a company." Ginny replied. "We can be like magical Nancy Drew's."

"Please don't call me Nancy Drew, ever." Colin asked. "She was a girl after all."

"Sorry, but you get what I mean."

"Why would anyone want to hire us when they could hire real Aurors?"

"We will be cheaper, we will be better and we will be able to focus just on them." Ginny replied. "It's a no brainer. After all sure you can hire an auror, but the minute the ministry needs them you are without an auror. But we will be working for ourselves so we can give a customer as much time as needed."

"You really think this will work?"

"Of course I am."

"She has to be the most boring individual we have ever followed." Colin whispered quietly to Ginny.

"I agree." Ginny nodded as she browsed through the robes. "I wish she would just go home so that we could go home."

"Seriously."

"How long can one person look at the same necklace?" Ginny moaned. "I mean, it is just a necklace."

"What are you making?" Colin asked looking into the cauldron.

"I found this potion the other day." Ginny replied. "It allows your to change characteristics about yourself like hair color, eye color, size of nose. Things like that. "

"How does it work."

"You can make different bottles with many different characteristics in each bottle, then you decide how you want to look and drink the bottle that corresponds."

"Oh."

"That way we can follow the same person without them realizing that we are following them."

"And are you sure it works?"

"I don't know, let's find out." Ginny replied holding up a ladle filled with potion to Colin.

"How am I suppose to look if I drink this?" Colin asked taking the ladle and looking at the potion.

"Red shaggy hair, green eyes, your nose should shrink a bit, your ears will poke out."

"So I will look like Ron."

"Similar, yes."

"Oh, this stuff tastes horrible." Colin said as he drank it down.

Ginny laughed as she held up a mirror. "It worked."

"Oh man."

"That was the most boring day we have ever had following someone." Colin complained as he settled next to Ginny on the couch.

"Maybe tomorrow we will see something good." Ginny replied.

"Is it wrong to hope to see something scandalous?" Colin asked.

"I hope not." Ginny shrugged. "Because I'm wishing that we really find something awesome or entertaining."

Colin looked up as there was a tapping on the window. "Great, I'm assuming that is Draco's owl."

"Looks like." Ginny agreed as she got up to let the owl in.

"So what is it?" Colin asked as Ginny opened the package.

"He sent us two tickets to a party next Friday." Ginny replied handing him two keys. "Apparently everyone gets a key and one of the keys open a safe. And who ever has that key gets to keep what is in the safe."

"Does it mention what is in the safe?" Colin asked.

"Well the party is sponsored by Quality Quidditch supplies, so I'm assuming it is probably filled with some of their merchandise."

"That's cool."

"I suppose." Ginny shrugged.

"Why aren't you more excited?"

"I am, I'm just tired." Ginny replied.

"Go to bed then." Colin told her. "We have to get up early to follow Cameron around."

"God, don't remind me." Ginny replied. "I do want to have a good nights sleep and if I have to think about that then I will be bored, even in my sleep."
