Chapter 6 Power and Love Are Two Very Different Things

(Normal POV)

"This is the hardest Horcrux yet," Hermione said.

"Well, of course. It's Nagini! I mean how are we going to destroy her?" Ron said.

There was a loud pop interupting their conversation. Someone had apparated into Grimmauld.

"Who could that be," Tonks asked.

"I don't know," Professor McGonagall said.

Everyone walked into the other room with their wands in their hand. There was a hooded figure near the door. Everyone pointed his or her wands at the stranger.

"Who are you! Show yourself!" Remus shouted.

"You were always the demanding one weren't you, Lupin?" The person put his or her hood down and everyone gasped.

(Draco's POV)

Make her love me? How do I do that? Ginny's voice flowed into my mind. I can help you. Be the man your father isn't. Should I really listen to her? I'm so confused. Why does she want to help me so bad? Am I beginning to love her myself? I think love is too much a powerful word maybe fancy. Whatever it is I do feel something for her. Maybe I do need her help. What am I saying! I don't need her! All I want is power! I will do the task He gave to me. Then crush her poor and pitiful heart.

(Ginny's POV)

Someone opened my door and I looked up from the Daily Prophet.

"Malfoy! You can't just barge in a room like that," I screeched.

He smirked. Oh, how I hate the smirk! "What happened to Draco?" He sat down in front of me on the bed.

"Well I didn't know you wanted to be called Draco."

"It wasn't a problem for you when you said it an hour ago."

"Well then you should have said something, Mal-" He covered my mouth with his finger.

"Please, call me Draco. It soundsnice when you say my name." He smiled. I have never seen him smile before. It was so genuine, so full of life. My neck started to go red, then my cheeks. I looked down to hide my redness. I felt his fingers under my chin and lifted my head.

"What are you doing to me," he whispered.

"What do you mean?" He stood up and faced his back to me.

"How come you say something like I can help you and make me feel like I need you!" He turned to look at me and I gasped. He was crying. "Why do you make me feel sorry for getting the Dark Mark! I'm supposed to be alone but you came! You came and everything just changed like you were there my whole life but you weren't! Why is it only you who can change the way I act? Why do you want to help me, change me! I'm supposed to be an evil Death Eater to you! But you insist on helping me to go on your side of the war! Why am I falling in love with you!" He went over to the wall and put his arm on it. He rested his forehead on his arm.

I felt a pang in my chest. He's falling in love with me? I stood up from the bed and walked over to him slowly. I put a hand on his shoulder and turned him around. Tears we're still falling from his eyes but slowly. I cupped his face and wiped the tears away.

He put his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. He kissed me on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave in to the kiss. He turned me around so I was up against the wall. He ran his tongue over my bottom lip asking for entrance. I parted my lips and his tongue entered. After a few more moments of snogging we pulled apart for breath.

"Ginny, please don't leave me. I need you,' he whispered.

"Don't worry. I will never leave you."
