A short, but sweet chapter. I really hope you like it!

(and yes I know it's all fluff and Malfoy is a bit out-of-character but...I like it. So if you're not into that sort of thing and you will just criticize me, then don't read on)

Flashback

"Draco!" Ginny yelled, as she walked into his room, slamming the door behind her.

"What?" he said, looking up. He was lying on his bed, reading a book.

"My brother knows! He followed me last night when I came here!" she said, panting nervously.

"Where is he now?" Draco asked, concerned.

"I don't know. Coming to kill you?" she shrugged.

Suddenly there was a loud bang behind the door. "Ginny! I know you're in there!"

It was Ron. Draco quickly pushed Ginny into a closet and closed the door.

Ginny could barely see inside the dark, cramped closet. She heard Draco open the door.

"Where's my sister!" she heard Ron yell.

"Well, apparently, she's not here, Weasley. Now get out or you'll ruin my room with your filth."

"Iknow she's here. What do you think you're doing with her anyway?"

Ginny closed her eyes, wishing Ron would just go away.

"I'm notdoing anything."

"Oh, so she just happened to be in your bed last night. Take her off the spell, Malfoy!"

"She's not on some spell."

"Well...I...I...you're forcing her aren't you!"

Draco sighed. "ME forcing HER! You must be out of your mind. Well, last night,she was doing the forcing," he said with a smirk.

Ginny heard a loud smack. She cringed. Ron had punched him.

There was more rustling and punching that Ginny didn't know who hit who. Then, it stopped and the door slammed shut.

She opened the door a little and peered out. Draco was lying on the floor, clutching his bleeding nose. In concern, she ran out next to him. "Oh, I'm gonna kill him," she muttered as she led Draco to the bathroom.

She got a damp towel and began wiping the now running blood from his nose. He hissed as she put a little more pressure. "I'm really sorry, Draco."

He stayed silent for a moment. Ginny finished getting the blood off.

He smiled. "Thanks."

"You smiled," Ginny said in surprise.

"Yes and...?"

"Well, I like it. You should do it more often."

He smirked this time before he kissed her full on the lips. She suddenly dropped her towel and wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. He tugged at the hem of her shirt before pulling it off. She felt him smirk against her mouth.

It wasn't long before she took off his shirt too. He laid her down on the counter top of the bathroom. "I love you," she said, in between breaths.

He suddenly pulled away, looking frightened. "I...uh...thank you."

End Flashback

Ginny contemplated for a moment as Harry stood there, holding out the ring. He wasn't ever coming back. So why did she have to spend the rest of her life waiting for him?

"Yes," she breathed. Harry slipped the ring onto her finger before pulling her into a passionate kiss...

Flashback

Ginny ran back to her dormitory, wanting to break down and cry so badly. She gave him her heart, trusting him not to break it, but he did. THANK YOU! Was that all he had to say? She confessed her undying love for him and all he said was "thank you".

She plopped herself on her bed, thankful that none of her roommates was in the room. She cried. She cried so hard and so long that she felt that her tear ducts had just gone dry.

IT'S OVER, she thought. Everything between them was over. It wasn't even worth it anyway. They weren't in a "relationship". No one else knew. They just fucked occassionally. That was all he wanted her for. And she had been a fool to actually fall for him. HIM! Draco effing Malfoy.

For the next couple of weeks, Ginny ignored him. She dismissed his presence at breakfast, lunch and dinner. And even when he passed by her in the halls, she deliberately didn't even glance at him.

One evening, however, as she walked to dinner through an empty dark hall (the shortcut her twin brothers had told her), she felt someone grasp her shoulders behind her. She turned around. "Dra--Malfoy!"

"Shh..." he said.

"Wha...What do you think you're doing?" she said in an intimidating tone that her mother used.

"Gin--I...I'm really sorry. I guess I'm just...confused. I don't know what I feel for you, but if...if...you just give me the chance, I'd like to try," he gulped. She looked into his eyes, seeing emotions swimming through them; mostly nervousness and fear.

Her eyes roamed down to his lips. She missed him so much. The feel of his skin against hers. His lips connected with her own. She missed it all, even though she forced herself not to. But she loved everything about him and true love lasts a lifetime.

As an answer to his questions, she captured his lips in a kiss. A kiss filled deeply with passion, lust, desire and...love. She felt them connect in ways she never ever thought of. He was kissing her softly, gently, in a way he never did before. It was different from everything else.

Before she knew it, Draco had dragged her to his room, gently pushing her over onto his bed. She parted their lips for a second, only to pull her dreaded top off. She moaned as she felt him kissing -touching- her body.

She tugged at the hem of his shirt, pulling it out of his trousers. It wasn't long before it, too, was completely off. Her lips traced from his neck, lower and lower, until they found it's way to his chest. She kissed and bit all over, until she saw something she never saw before.

She abruptly pulled away, looking at him with a shocked expression. "What happened to you, Draco?"

He looked down and as soon as he noticed what she was talking about, he closed his eyes, sighing in deep thought.

Ginny traced her fingers over the deep-cut scar along his stomach.

"My dad came for a visit the other day," Draco said, sitting up so his back was resting against the headboard of the bed. Ginny sat up too, listening intently as she let her lips graze over the scar.

"He began talking about my future and...things...I might be doing after graduation."

"And what are those things?" Ginny asked.

"He planned something for me. The day I graduate, I was to do it. I refused, of course. So he slashed me until I obliged."

A tear ran down his cheek. Ginny's expression sooned turned to hurt and sympathy. She reached up and kissed his tear away. He smiled weakly.

He ran his hand along his biceps and forearms. There were many more small, but deep, scars. "Oh Draco," Ginny breathed.

A couple more tears ran down his cheek. Ginny didn't like seeing him cry. It just wanted to make her cry too. He looked so hurt, so in pain. She wanted to take it all way, doing everything in her power.

She kissed every single scar he had. "A kiss to make it better."
