Summary: Ginny Weasley finds herself fascinated with Draco Malfoy and is determined to figure out the mystery behind him.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, although, like many I wish I did because I could be filthy rich and everybody would love me. :)
A/N – This chapter is from Draco's point of view. I am going to do a lot of the fic like this because then you get two sides to the story.
Thanks to my reviewers.
AnitaBlake/BuffyFan – Thankyou. Although the comment about Deep Water, yeah, it did kind of occur to me that it sort of similar, but I have a few different characters that will play a role, and I'm going to try and make it quite a bit different. Dammit! I am such a nong!
Shadieladie – Thankyou for reviewing, it just makes me so 'sniff sniff' happy.

But then something happened that she didn't expect, Draco Malfoy looked up from his plate and straight at her.
Chapter Two
Draco Malfoy had spent his summer holidays dealing with legal people, cleaners, the goddamn ministry, every single person on the friggin planet. So, by the time it came to return to Hogwarts (which by the way he was definitely not looking forward to) he very much wanted some alone time. During the war his involvement was well known, he had never been a death eater, he found the whole killing people thing rather disturbing really. This had gone against all his father had taught him but thankfully Lucius Malfoy had been killed at the beginning of the war, so when he died, the Malfoy assets were still left to him. It's not that he loved muggles and mudbloods or anything, in fact he still didn't like them very much at all, but he tolerated them, as long as he stayed away from them he didn't really care what they did. His mother had been too unwell to deal with people, besides, she was a female and males were the ones who had to do all the business dealings, as far as Narcissa Malfoy was concerned anyway.
Draco was quite relaxed in his carriage by himself, those idiots Crabbe and Goyle, had been forced to become deatheaters but due to their lack of everything, Voldemort had thought they'd be more useful as vegetable type shells at St. Mungos. It didn't matter; he didn't need them around to 'defend' him anymore. The trip was going quite quickly, but something bothered him along the way. Sometimes, he swore somebody was watching him, he'd glance out the windows, sometimes even open the door but never would he see anybody. It was nearing the end of the trip when he had that prickly feeling as if he was being watched. This time as he looked out the door he saw a flash of red, of Weasley red.
As the weeks past he tried to wash that incident away from his mind, but soon it became apparent the youngest Weasel was stalking him! At first he was disgusted, how dare a Weasley be anywhere near him, much less follow him. But as he watched her efforts to follow him or 'blend in' she begun to grow on him, if anything she was a daily source of amusement. Now, he knew she had putrid orange like hair, wore second hand clothes (sometimes by the look of them he felt they were older) but he couldn't help feeling some sort of attraction towards her. She did have a nice body and face, and it was weird but he felt like he wanted to 'bring her out of her shell'. He'd watch her sometimes during meals, how she would sit all by herself, Potter and his lot completely ignored her, and she didn't seem to mind either. Of course, when she would look at him he'd look away and pretend he hadn't seen her. Once of twice he would imagine the look of Weasley's face (and Potter's for that matter) if he dated the young Weasel, but then it occurred to him, he had absolutely no interest in dating her, imagine what it would do to his reputation!
'Draco, mate, why do you keep staring over at the Gryffs?' Blaise Zabini, the only person he actually genuinely liked in Slytherin asked him.
Putting on his best poker face he sneered at Blaise and replied, 'Sorry mate, just get my kicks from watching Weasley attempt to eat, I swear Blaise, he looks like he was bred in a garbage dump, oh wait...he was!'
Blaise frowned, 'Draco that was nowhere near your best! Besides, it's not that Weasley you've been looking at...' Blaise replied, a slither of a smirk on his lips.
Draco froze. So Blaise had noticed.
There was no point hiding it from Blaise, he was actually quite an observant guy. 'Well surely you've noticed the Weasel watching me haven't you?' Draco replied, annoyed with himself when he couldn't help but glance at her when he said that.
Blaise shoved a piece of toast in his mouth and chewed thoughtfully. "Yeah, she's the one that's been following you around right? Don't see the problem; she's quite good looking really...'
Draco sneered at him. 'Oh, you hot for a Weasley are you Blaisy boy?' he teased.
Blaise snorted. "Oh don't worry; I won't intrude on your territory!'
Draco was about to reply scathingly when something decisively heavy and smelling strongly of some sort of perfume slid up next to him. Draco whipped around to see Pansy Parkinson sitting next to him, flittering her eyelashes in a way that made him feel sick. Ever since his fourth year she had been flirting with him, and it was really starting to get on his nerves. She wasn't the ugliest girl, but she was definitely one of the most annoying girls, and Draco really wasn't shallow enough to bed her just because she was ok looking.
'Bugger off Pansy' Draco hissed at her, he was very aware now that Weasley's eyes were on him.
Pansy frowned at him, and just moved closer to him.
'But I thought this was what you wanted Draco honey!' Pansy simpered at him.
Draco glanced at Blaise who was rolling his eyes and making slashing motions at his throat. Draco cleared his throat and pushed Pansy roughly off him, "look Parkinson, I am NOT interested in you, alright? Got it? That's good! Could you kindly leave me alone then?" Draco said calmly to her, taking interest in the different shades her face turned. Pansy stood up roughly, knocking a first year off his seat and hissed in his ear. "You know you'll come running back to me Malfoy!" He couldn't help laughing slightly, he'd never even gone to Pansy, let alone was planning to return to her.
Suddenly a thought occurred to him, was the Weasel still watching him. He looked up from his plate and right at her. She was looking at him, and as he looked evenly at her he saw her eyes flicker in shock. In the corner of his eye he saw Blaise smirk at him, but before any comments could be past Draco stepped up quickly and hurried out of the hall. Part of him hoped that the Weasley would follow him as he leant against the wall; the other part wondered why on earth he even wanted her to follow him. As he walked slowly back to the dungeons he thought to himself, he just wanted to get rid of her, but when he slipped into bed that night he knew that wasn't why.
A/N - I am just curious, do people like having different viewpoints? I probably won't do it all the time, and I won't tell you whose point of view it is. But you'll realize, and besides it's not like I'll change it halfway through a chapter anyway. So, if I do this, a lot of the time I will have overlapping scenes in chapters. But as I keep ranting, I am thinking that it's probably a good idea because what Ginny thinks Draco thinks and see's is actually wrong a lot of the time. Anywho, you know what to do, yes you know, please review!!! OH! By the way, I was considering having Blaise/Luna, what do people think of that? And, I don't know whether I should even make note of 'inter trio' romances, but I'll probably just vaguely mentioned Hermione/Ron and Harry wasn't meant for loving honey!
Next Chapter:
Ginny and Blaise meet.
Ginny decides she should stick up for herself.
