A/N: Hello again. I know I haven't updated in like....forever, and for that I am sorry, I just wish more people would read this. Ah well, pfft on them. They're missing out! But you are not! Yay! Oh yes, and WARNING this chapter has some sexual content.
Disclaimer: No, no, no, not mine. I'm flattered that you thought I...wait, you didn't think I blush well then cough on with the fic.
" I can't believe it," Ginny said happily. " Me, Ginny Weasley, a prefect! It's... it's fabulous!" Hermione smiled at her as they walked into a compartment.
" Well Miss Prefect," Hermione said. " We have to get going. I hope you don't mind waiting here for us Harry." Harry smiled, holding onto the frame as the train started.
" What," Harry said with mock-surprise. " I'm coming with. Not in the compartment, but I plan to wait outside." The others walked in, and Draco sat down.
" Draco," Hermione said, he looked at her. " Aren't you coming?" Draco shook his head, and stretched out.
" No," Draco said. " I think I'll stay here. I'm not feeling well. Fill me in, won't you Gra...uh." Draco sat up, and looked at the ground. " You wouldn't mind if I called you Hermione, would you?"
" No," Hermione said. " Not at all, I mean. We've known one another for nearly six years now. It's about time we get on a first name bases. I'll be glad to fill you in Draco." Draco smiled.
" Thank you Hermione," Draco said. They all waved at him as they left the compartment. Draco laid back and closed his eyes. After a few minutes the door opened. " Harry, did you get bored and come back?"
" Since when did you call Potter by his first name," Came a voice that Draco knew, and was sure was NOT Harry's. He opened his eyes and saw Pansy. She stood before him in a WAY too short skirt, for her at least.
" Parkinson," Draco said quizzically. " What are you doing in here?" Pansy walked over to him and sat down. She traced her finger along his jaw.
" Oh Draco," Pansy said in a whinny sort of voice. " Don't be that way. You know you missed me. I missed you. What are you doing hanging with Potter and the fabulous trio, hm?"
" They are my friends," Draco said. Pansy looked utterly stunned. " Yes, Parkinson, my friends. Harry helped me out of a bit of a jam this summer."
" You're father, right," Pansy said, Draco glared at her. " Draco, you know as well as I why I came looking for you."
" No Parkinson," Draco said firmly pulling away from her. " No." Pansy sighed heavily, and shook her head.
" Draco, Draco, Draco," Pansy said tutting a bit. " Don't make me have to use the Imperious on you. You know I will."
" I'll fight it," Draco said simply. " You know I will, and I'll over come it... again." Pansy glared at him.
" Draco Malfoy," Pansy said angrily. " Don't make me have to use 'It' against you." Draco's eyes widened. " You know I don't want to, but if you continue to be uncooperative I'll have to. Understand?" Draco nodded his head.
Pansy pulled something out of her pocket, and advanced toward him. Draco leaned back and sighed. Tears threatened to fall down his cheeks as memories played for him.
" Now be a good little boy Draco," Pansy said, but Draco didn't hear her voice saying the words. He turned his head away, and his eyes glazed over. Pansy smiled slightly. " That's a good boy."
Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny laughed as they walked to the compartment they had chosen to stay in. Harry reached out, and tried to open the door. It wouldn't open. He shrugged at the others.
" Let me see," Hermione said as she moved in front. " Alohamora!" She tried to open the door, but it wouldn't. " Maybe we're at the wrong compartment." Harry nodded his head.
" Yeah," Harry said. " We have to be. Draco wouldn't lock us out. Let's check the next one." They walked to the next compartment, and opened the door. They heard the sound of a compartment door slamming shut behind them. They turned and went back to the compartment they had first been at.
There was Draco on the floor, hyperventilating. He was ghostly pale, and his eyes were wide. He looked as though he was trying to get air into his lungs, but couldn't. He was sobbing, his tears rushing down his cheek.
He felt dizzy, he looked up at the door, and saw Harry and the others. However, his vision was blurred. He tried to get air into his lungs, but his chest felt constricted. His eyes rolled upward, and he fell to the ground.
" Draco," Ginny yelled running to him. He had sweat on his face, his hair was matted down, but he was breathing correctly again. " Oh my god."
Draco awoke in the hospital wing. He looked around and saw that Harry and Ginny were with him. As was Ron and Hermione. Draco took a deep intake of breath and let it out. Ginny let out a long breath as well, as though she had been holding since he passed out.
" What...happened," Draco asked as he sat up, and looked around. Ginny smiled as warmly as she could at him.
" You had a panic attack, or something," Ginny said. " You weren't breathing right, and you passed out. Are you okay?" Draco thought about what had happened before they had walked in. He groaned, and grabbed his stomach. " Draco?"
" She...she," Draco murmured, he lift his shirt a little to show a bleeding gash. Ginny covered her mouth. Draco leaned forward and began to cry onto the shoulder nearest him; it was Harry's.
" Madame Pumfrey," Hermione called. Madame Pumfrey came rushing over. " Draco is bleeding." She walked over to Draco and looked at the gash.
" You go," Madame Pumfrey said. " I'll fix him up, and he'll be able to leave." Hermione nodded, and lead the way out of the Hospital Wing. " Mr. Malfoy did you do this to yourself?"
" No," Draco said. He wasn't looking at her, and he laid back so she could fix the wound. " Not this time."
" Then who," Madame Pumfrey asked. " Who did this to you Mr. Malfoy. You came to me quite a few times last year with wounds you didn't cause. Who has been causing them?"
" I...can't tell you," Draco said. He didn't look at her. He knew she didn't like that answer, but that she would except it anyway. She fixed him up, and he left the Hospital Wing.
He had to get to his dormitory before anybody else saw him. He had a big blood stain on his shirt. He slipped down to the dungeons, and managed to get into the Slytherin common room with out being noticed by anyone. He turned around and found himself face-to-face with Pansy.
" Awww," Pansy cooed. " Did wittile Dwaco hav'va go get his boo-boo fixed?" Draco slapped her across the cheek. Many Slytherins came forward to investigate, many looked a little...pissed.
" Leave. Me. Be," Draco said venomously. " I'm going to my dormitory, I don't want to be bothered."
Draco walked across the common room to the stairs that led up to the dormitories, but stopped as someone spoke to him.
" You broke the promise you made Draco," Came a voice from behind him. He turned around and saw Millicent Bullstrode glaring at him.
" Parkinson broke the promise," Draco said. " I promised to do whatever you all wanted as long as you respected me outside of the Slytherin common room and dormitories."
He turned and went up to his dormitory, the others still rather angry with him. When Draco entered he found that he would not be left alone. Blaise Zabini was sitting on his bed smiling at him. As Draco closed the door Blaise began to clap.
" Quite a show Malfoy, quite a show," Blaise said. Draco ignored him and walked over to his trunk. " Slapping Pansy like that, and I thought you two were a perfect couple."
" Shut up Zabini," Draco said pulling his shirt off, and putting on a new one. Blaise smirked at him.
" Testy, testy," Blaise said wagging his finger. He stood up, and walked behind Draco, slipping his hand up under his shirt. " What say we have some fun to loosen you up?"
" Let's not," Draco said firmly, getting uneasy as he felt Blaise's...ehem... well, you know...rising up.
" Awwww," Blaise said, sounding a little disappointed. " What's wrong with you Draco? You're never in the mood any more."
" You want to know something Blaise," Draco said in a rather seductive voice. Blaise smiled and moved closer to Draco.
" How shall I put it," Blaise said in mock wonder. " Yes. Yes, yes, yes! Draco" Draco wriggled away.
" I was never in the mood," Draco said before he left the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Blaise smirked to himself, and laid down on his own bed this time. He stretched out and sighed.
" You'll be back Malfoy," Blaise said smirking still. " I know something that would make hair on you neck stand on end. I know something that will make you all mine in the end."
" So, Ginny," Harry said sitting next to her on one of the couches in the Gryffindor common room. " Do you really think everyone will really like it?" Ginny nodded.
" Yeah," Ginny said. " You did after all." Harry smiled at her. Ginny smiled back, then looked away. " Promise you won't laugh." Harry smiled.
" Ginny," Harry said letting his jet black bangs fall infront of his green, green eyes. " Have I ever laughed at you?" Ginny smiled.
" Well," Ginny said, rolling her eyes slowly as she drew out the word. Harry pushed her lightly, a small smile playing on his lips.
" Come on Gin," Harry said. " You know that I wouldn't laugh at you, especially if it's serious, and this seems serious."
" It is," Ginny said nodding her head vigorously. " Harry, I want to sing it to Dra----" Ginny was interrupted my a knock on the Gryffindor portrait. Harry and Ginny looked at one another before standing up and walking over to the portrait hole, and opening it.
" Draco," Ginny and Harry said simultaneously. Draco waved at them smiling slightly.
" Harry-I-hope-you-don't-mind-I-need-to-talk-to-Ginny-straight-away-and-I'll-bring-her-right-back-thanks," Draco said hurriedly, and in one breath, before grabbing Ginny, and running off with her.
" Wait," Ginny yelled. " I don't even have my guitar!" Draco smiled and stopped abruptly.
Ginny watched confused as Draco walked back and forth three times, however, she understood when a door appeared. Draco looked from side to side, then pulled Ginny into the Room of Requirement.
" What is he doing with my sister," Ron yelled, causing quite a few other students to stare at him.
" Let's go find out," Harry said determinly. Ron and Hermione nodded their head in unison.
" I don't see why you let him run off with her in the first place," Ron said scowled as they left the Gryffindor common room.
" Ginny," Draco said looking her in the eyes. " I really need to talk to you." Ginny smiled awkwardly.
" Um...Draco..."
" You said that if I really needed to talk to you I could, right?"
" I did, um..."
" So please, let me talk to you, it's really important," Draco said he was looking in her eyes with pleading eyes of his own. She sighed and smiled.
" Okay, what is it," Ginny asked. Draco smiled. He closed his eyes, and a couch appeared in the middle of the room. They walked over to it and sat down.
" Ginny," Draco said, he sighed. " I...I..." Draco stood up, and began to pace, he stopped. " GREAT! I'M IN THE ROOM OF REQUIRMENTS, AND THE ONE THING I NEED I CAN'T GET!"
" What do you need," Ginny asked looking at him apprehensively. Draco sighed heavily.
" I want to tell you all about...but I can't...I," Draco said frustratedly, running his fingers through his hair. " I want to...but I can't...I wish...I can't tell you Ginny. I'm sorry I pulled you away. I..."
Draco stopped, Ginny was smiling at him. She closed her eyes, and a guitar appeared on her knee. Draco fell back, landing on a chair the he didn't think about. Ginny strummed the guitar, and began to sing:
" Little boy
Blond haired man
Had his rights
Took his stand
Was knocked down
But
He learned
To live
Again.
" Little boy
Always cried
Blond haired man
Was trapped inside
But out and away
His should must fly
That's how
He learned
To live
Again.
" And these paper wings
They don't fly
Don't take me away
To where I want to be
And these paper wings
Won't make me soar
Won't set me free
Won't set me free.
" Little girl
Never cried
Kept her feelings
Trapped inside
Let them bottle up
Until
She couldn't
breathe.
" Little girl
Didn't know
She never did
Let her feelings show
Now she gone
And she won't come back
And
She won't
Breathe
Again.
" And these paper wings
They don't fly
Don't take me away
To where I want to be
And these paper wings
Won't make me soar
Won't set me free
Won't set me free.
" No these paper wings
Won't set me free."
The entire room was silent, Ginny sat and looked at Draco. She put the guitar aside, and tilted her head side ways.
" You know," Ginny said looking away. " If you don't like it, then you can just tell----"
" That was..." Draco began he sighed, and smiled. " That was...beautiful. It was amazing! It was wonderful! It was brilliant! What inspired you to write that?" Ginny smiled at him.
" You," Ginny said blushing. Draco blushed slightly, and looked surprised. He smiled at her.
" Really," Draco asked, Ginny nodded. " So you think I'm girly, eh?" Draco crossed his arms.
" What," Ginny yelled. " No! No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no! Draco---" Ginny was cut off as the door burst open.
" Hands off my sister," Ron yelled, his face beet-red with fury. He looked from Ginny to Draco, then back to Ginny.
" Hi Draco," Harry said in a small voice, waving from behind Hermione. He began to scoot out of the room, but Draco quickly cut him off.
" What did you tell Ron," Draco asked, grabbing Harry, and pulling him back in the room. He closed the door behind him.
" Nothing," Harry said. " Well, I told him you ran off with Ginny, and then I took out the Marauders' Map, and we realized you were in the Room of Requirements. Ron just assumed-----"
" I was not the only one who assumed, Harry," Ron said. " Not pointing any fingers or anything." He jabbed Harry with his forefinger.
" I did not assume," Harry said huffily, crossing his arms before saying more calmly, " I was just...mildly curious." Harry sat on a chair he imagined, but jumped quickly up, feeling something beneath his bottom. It was a slug. " Okay, who imagined this here?"
" I did," Ginny said slowly raising her hand, a look of irritation on her face.
" We were just talking Ron. Even if it was more then that, it's not as if it's any of your business."
Harry, Hermione, Draco, and, especially, Ron looked confused. Ginny, however, did not care, and pushed Ron, Harry, and Hermione out of the room. She closed the door, and her eyes. A small key appeared in her hand, and a key hole on the door below the knob, and she lock it.
" Hey," Ron yelled as he attempted to open the door to no avail. " Ginny, you open this door immeadiatly! I mean it! Open-"
He was cut of by Hermione who covered his mouth, began to walk away, with Harry following, and said, " Let's go Ron. Ginny wants to talk to Draco alone."
" Finally," Ginny said. her ear pressed against the door, and listening as Harry, Ron and, Hermione left. " I thought they would never leave. Ron is really annoying," She added as she turned to Draco, and smiled. " He is way too protective.
Draco nodded his head, and said, " Yes, quite right. Indeed, quite right. Indeed, Quite right. Indeed-" He stopped as Ginny walked up to him. " Quite right."
" Draco," Ginny said after a moment of looking into his deep gray-blue eyes that were so full of emotion that she never was able to notice before, because they were covered up with a cold harsh covering. A covering Ginny knew Draco had made to protect himself. " Do you want to dance?"
" Sure," Draco said, but looked away. " But...um...we don't have any-" He was cut off as music began to play through out the room.
" Room of Requirements Draco," Ginny said with a small smile on her pale pink lips. " Remember?"
Draco nodded as Ginny took his hand and placed it on her side, and grabbed his other, intertwining their fingers. She then draped her other arm around his shoulder and they began to dance.
Ginny and Draco twirled and whirled around the room, forgetting about everything except for each other, and what they saw in the others eyes. Lost in each other, and the moment.
Finally, the song came to its end, and as the last few notes played Ginny and Draco leaned toward each other. His eyes moving a little as though reading her eyes like a book.
Ginny and Draco inched toward each other until their lips finally met. Their eyes closed, and the leaned toward each other. Kissing each other, and knowing that it felt right somehow.
Ginny's heart fluttered in her chest, and she felt like they were floating in the sky, and would never return to Earth, for the havens were their rightful place. It was where they belonged; together.
Draco's, however, felt his heart, and lungs clench tightly, in an unpleasant way. Ginny pulled away, and realized that Draco wasn't breathing. He fell forward on the ground, and Ginny screamed.
" Draco," Ginny yelled in a panicked voice. " Draco! Wake up!" She leaned forward, and put her ear near his mouth. He wasn't breathing at all. She put her ear to his chest and his heart wasn't beating. " Draco!" She shook him. " Draco! Draco!"
His eyes shot open, and he looked forward. He was breathing in short shallow breaths, and he began to shake all over. His eyes were glazed over.
" NO," Draco screamed in a small child's voice as he pushed Ginny away from him. " NO DAD! NOOOOOO! DON'T PLEASE! NO! NOT AGAIN! DADDY! NOT AGAIN!" Tears began to pour down his cheeks. " GO AWAY! GO AWAY!"
Ginny sat on the floor, on knee down, and the other bent, looking wildly at him. He yelled again," GO AWAY!" However, he was not looking at her, but straight up at the ceiling.
Ginny stood up, and walked over to the door, glancing over at Draco, before unlocking the door with the key she had put in her pocket before they had danced. She ran from the room, and away from the Room of Requirement, as fast as she could.
Ginny was nearly to the Gryffindor entrance when she tripped and fell forward. Instead of getting up, she pulled her knees up, and began to cry. Not caring what happened next. She could still hear Draco's screams in her ears.
" Ginny," Called a voice that sounded familiar. " Ginny! Are you okay? Harry appeared at her side, and looked at her worriedly. " Ginny?"
He pulled her up into a sitting position. She looked at him, then placed her head on his chest and began to cry more. Harry patted her as comfortingly as possible.
" Ginny," Called two more voices in unison. They belonged to Hermione and Ron. Who were running toward them.
" Ginny what's wrong," Hermione asked, kneeling forward, and placing her hand tenderly on Ginny's back." Ron was red in the face, and he turned on his heels.
" I bet I know," Ron said. " Malfoy!" Ron took off running down the corridor toward the Room of Requirement.
A/N: You want more? Yay! You don't know how happy that makes me? What? You want me to shut up and write the next chapter? Geesh! You didn't have to be so mean about it.
