Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling nor will I ever be (Really wish I could be... that'd be SOO awesome). This fanfic is based off of characters, situations, and places created by JK Rowling (Bless her soul). I don't own anyone or anything and I never will. I'm not making any money off of this. All I thought up was the plot and an original character or two. I Am very respectful of JK Rowling's work and believe her to be an extremely talented individual. If I can ever write as good as her I shall praise whatever it is that runs this planet.

Author's Note: This story may get confusing, it's my first ever and I don't want to give anything away but Gin will be going from flashbacks and back… In non-flashbacks she's written in I. And In Flashbacks she's written as Ginny... If I ever have to like write them different or something to make it more understandable let me no in reviews and I'll try and fix it.

Warning: My grammar and spelling are terrible. It's actually pretty gosh dang awful if I do say so myself. Although, it has improved a little I guess. I do know how bad my grammar is especially. If I get enough replies and enough people like my story I will consider/ look for a beta. But I'll have very fine rules, mostly no telling anybody else what's going to happen, and SPEED.

Just Because I Can't Breathe.

Prologue

Bitter Sweet Sixteen

My boyfriend dumped me on the morning of my sixteenth birthday. I remember every detail of his face the days before, fake, lying and deceitful. Itch-E-Sketched into my brain like a good drawing you can't imagine shaking away. It was unexpected, it seemed like everyone else knew but me. They couldn't have known... could they? The whispers that followed behind the second I entered the Great Hall were almost as annoying as the first years steeping on your heels. I held my head high ignoring the stares and snickers from behind hands, from faces I didn't know. I took my usual spot, closest to the Slytherin table and farthest from the 'Golden Trio'. It was then I spotted it. It was wrapped in a ribbon of black velvet, lying beside it was a single black rose, and the eagle owl that belonged to Drake. There was a note, scribbled in the writing I knew immediately, Draco's. It smelled of his rich boy aftershave he loved too much, that strong mixture of fire whiskey, quidditch and lust. I loved him, and that smell... It had been written quickly and messy, and there were drops on it that looked suspiciously like blood. It read simply:

Gin,

It's over. I'm leaving Hogwarts. Don't look me up, or miss me. You will never find me, don't you dare still love me... Don't hunt for me. No one will... It's what I'm supposed to do, was born to do. Disappear.

Draco

That was the last thing I expected. My birthday balloon had popped. I stood note in my hand, tears welling in my eyes. A wreck on my most important birthday… I spent my sweet sixteen under my blankets, trying to find the pieces of my heart.

I woke to a pounding on my door and the wretched yells of Hermione. "Ginevra, come out of your room sweetheart. Your presents are still here… I brought you some leftover breakfast." Her voice had always been demanding and showed clearly that she thought she was above me, now it was nothing but a numbing buzz. "Go Away!" Although it sound more like gof agay with me stuffed nose. I heard her open her mouth to speak, "Alo... Oh forget it." She wandered off quickly. I pulled my knees closer to my face. My uniform from yesterday had been discarded to the floor, replaced for silky emerald boxers. My eyes filled with fresh tears remembering they were his favorites. I put a hand to me cheek and felt the lines from my pillow. I was all cried out, my eyes itchy and dry. My red hair was dirty, jeering out at odd angles. I stood, and stumbled. I shuffled towards the shower and twisted the taps. I stripped of my clothes and slid inside, it was to hot. But I just stood there letting the boiling drops hit my pale freckled skin. It numbed the pain in my heart. I thought about back then… when we first started. When I first realized that family feuds and love walk hand in hand, but he had already seen that. For they were cursed for eternity to be together, as we had always said we were… more importantly, how he said we were.

Author's Note: I'm SOOOO sorry it's so short it's just… It's a prologue... there isn't much to it… I promise the chapters will be longer. Cross my heart.

I Love you all and if you guys want Chapters then review… I think I want atleast 5 reviews saying I should go on before I do… Though I might just go on anyways…

Love Yah Ebony.

Author's Note: I Hope you guys don't find this chapter to cliché… to much like every other typical story Ginny get and then Draco falls in love, believe me. This is way more than your average DG story… I promise.. or try to promise it's worth your while… Hope you guys Like it :D.
