Ayumi-dono– Draco wouldn't make any kind of connection because there would be no reason for hi to do so. He truly believes that Ginny is a Laurel. It's like you would never doubt one of your friend's identities because there is no reason to. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Kittybro– I may have forgotten to mention that she says her brothers don't attend Hogwarts so he wouldn't suspect the Weasleys. Sorry if I confused you on the Sirius and daily prophet time line. But I did say that her family had left a week ago before she came and told Draco she was leaving so the flyer his father showed him would have come out a week after the daily prophet was published. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Hot - Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Molly786 – I mentioned that Ginny's family was already in Egypt when she went to tell Draco she was leaving and it was also that day that he saw the wanted sign for Sirius. So there was a week's time for Sirius to escape after he was the daily prophet. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

I mean growing up together gives the some intimacy but to know for sure that you love them is different. It will all come to them in the future. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Chapter Thirteen – Through My Eyes (Third Year)

"Speaking"

Thinking

The Weasley's arrived back in London a week before the next Hogwarts school year would start. Everyone was busy putting their belongings away and organizing their souvenirs that they didn't even realize that Ginny had not emerged from her room since that morning.

Upon arriving home, Ginny had immediately run up to her room, dumped her belongings onto her bed and portkeyed to Malfoy Manor. She was not expected to arrive that day so no one was waiting for her at the fireplace. She dusted herself off quickly and quietly made her way up to Draco's room.

Slowly easing the door open, Ginny poked her head in and saw Draco sitting on the floor, with his legs crossed and facing the window. He looked like he was meditating, But he doesn't meditate Ginny thought. Wanting to surprise him, Ginny crept into the room and placed her hands over his eyes.

"Guess…" Ginny was beginning to say but didn't have a chance to finish because Draco had immediately grabbed her hands roughly and hauled her over his shoulder to land on her back in front of him.

Ginny had the air knocked out of her when she landed on the floor and had her eyes crunched up because of the pain at her hip.

"Ginny?" Draco said disbelievingly when he looked down at the intruder.

Ginny supported her upper body with one hand while the other was rubbing her throbbing hip. "Who else do you think it is?" she answered bitterly.

Draco got over his shock and noticed that Ginny was nursing her hip. "I'm sorry, Ginny," He said while helping her up off the floor slowly. "I thought you were David."

"David?" Ginny questioned while Draco helped her over to the couch in his room.

"Yeah, Father hired him to teach me some stuff."

"Like how to haul your fiancé over your shoulder and break her hip?"

Draco's expression changed to one full of guilt and Ginny regretted saying that.

"Sorry, Draco. I didn't it mean it."

Draco smiled weakly. "No. I should be sorry. Are you ok? Do you want to send for a Healer?" he said starting to panic.

He began to get up but Ginny place a hand on his arm and held him back. "No. I'm fine. I was just surprised," She said accompanied with a smile.

Draco relaxed and sat back down. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming today?"

"I wanted to surprise you."

Draco smiled cheekily. "I guess I surprised you more."

Ginny grinned.

"How was Egypt?" Draco asked full of interest.

"It was fun. But before I begin, tell me about David. What is he teaching you exactly?"

Draco hesitated. "Er…it's kind of hard to describe. It's just some things to keep me alert and fit. You know, so I'm ready for anything."

Ginny didn't really understand but decided not to press the issue.

"Now about Egypt…" Draco began.

Ginny smiled and began to tell him about her month long trip.

Ginny sat in the leaky cauldron waiting for all her brothers, Harry and Hermione to get ready to board the Hogwarts express. She was sitting at the long table with a small notebook and a charcoal pencil. She always kept a pencil and pad of paper with her so she could draw when she felt like it.

Right now Ginny was absentmindedly drawing two circles and when she looked down she thought it looked a lot like Harry's glasses. Without thinking, she slowly began to draw some strands of hair dangling down in front of the two circles. Within minutes there was a rough sketch of Harry in her note pad.

"Wow, is that what I really look like."

Ginny whirled her head around quickly and saw Harry standing behind her. She closed her note pad quickly and turned her face away to hide her blush. Harry sat down next to her and waited for her to look at him again.

"You're very good," he commented.

Ginny smiled meekly. "Thanks. I was drawing circles and then it just came to me that it looked like your glasses so…" Ginny trailed off because she was embarrassed by being caught drawing a picture of him.

Harry took the not pad from Ginny and opened it to the page of the rough sketch of him. "If this came from two random circles, I'd love to see what it would look like if you really did want to draw a portrait of someone. It's amazing."

Ginny blushed again. "So… are you excited about going back to Hogwarts?" Ginny said hoping to change the subject.

"Yeah. I love it at Hogwarts," Harry said full of excitement. "When are you going to join us? I'm sure you'll love it too."

Ginny's face fell. "Not for a while I think," she answered quietly.

Harry felt bad for bringing up the subject. He knew that Ginny had a heart problem and that was why she couldn't attend Hogwarts. "I'm sorry, Ginny. I didn't mean to…"

"No, it's alright Harry, I don't mind."

Harry felt a little better but kept a mental note to think before he spoke next time. "So, everything's good?"

Ginny knew that he was asking about the treatment but just didn't want to say it out loud. "Yeah, everything's good. I'm really happy that the Healers let me go to Egypt. A month is a very long time but luckily the last checkup went well."

"Is that why you weren't in photo when the daily prophet wrote about the winning? You had to have the checkup?"

"Yeah," Ginny lied. In fact, she couldn't be in that photo because Draco would see it and her secret would be revealed.

"Alright, let's go everyone," Percy announced. "In an orderly fashion, Fred."

"I'm George you twit,"

"And we're not at Hogwarts yet," His twin piped in.

When they all arrived at platform 9 ¾, Ginny excused herself to go to the bathroom but really went to find Draco. He told her that he would be on the second last carriage and would wait for her before boarding.

Draco leaned on the wall with his hands in his pockets while Blaise and Bell were standing next to him chatting casually. Looking at his pocket watch, Draco stood up from leaning on the wall and straightened his jumper.

"Ready to board now, Draco?" Bell asked.

"You go on first. I'll be there in a minute."

Blaise gave Bell a meaningful look before he walked towards the train.

"Don't be too long," Bell said before heading after Blaise.

Not too long later, Draco spotted a head of red hair bobbing amongst the crowd. He walked to the middle of the platform so she could spot him easier and within seconds Ginny was running up to him. Seeing her approach, Draco suppressed the smile that wanted to grace his face.

"I found you," Ginny said with a huge grin but was breathing hard.

Seeing sweat form on her forehead and hearing her raged breathing Draco couldn't help but begin to worry. His face was etched with concern as he hooked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Are you ok?" he asked. Ginny nodded. "Don't run next time. It's alright if you don't make it."

"No it's not," Ginny said. "It's the last chance to see you before you leave for months."

Ginny held onto Draco's hands and looked at him like it was the end of the world. Not wanting to lose track of time, Draco was forced to end the sweet moment.

"Is that enough looking to last you a few months," he said teasingly.

"No," Ginny answered sadly, "But it will have to do."

Draco smiled. "I have to board the train now. Be careful while I'm gone."

Ginny was a bit puzzled but took it as Draco's concern for her health. "You be careful too," She said while wrapping her arms around him.

While Ginny was hugging Draco, her coat was distorted and her note pad dropped out her shallow pocket. Sensing something fall against his trousers, Draco released Ginny and bent down to pick the object up.

"Oh, that's mine," Ginny said and took it from his hands. Draco, however, was still able to see the rough sketch of Harry Potter. The whole wizarding world could recognize that scar anywhere.

"Have a safe trip," Ginny said after pocketing her note pad.

Draco forced on a weak smile before walking to the train and stepping inside. All the while one thought never left his mind. Why was Ginny drawing Harry Potter?

After seeing Draco enter the carriage, Ginny made her way back to where her brothers, Harry and Hermione were boarding the train.

Christmas arrived and Draco wasn't looking forward to going home as much as he used to. The rough sketch of Harry Potter in Ginny's note pad popped up in his mind every now and then and it just added to the hate he had for the boy who lived. On his left arm there was still the scar from when he had failed to gain the respect of Buckbeak and ended up being attacked by it.

Madame Pomfrey could have removed that scar easily, but Draco wanted to keep it. Bell tried many times to persuade him to have it fixed but Draco refused. He never told them why and they failed to get an answer out of him after trying many times.

Bell and Blaise sat opposite of Draco while he looked out at the window in a trance like state. Bell leaned closer to Blaise and whispered into his ear.

"Do you feel that Draco's acting a bit strange this school year?"

"A bit," Blaise whispered back. "He's rather moody."

"And very angry sometimes."

Draco turned his head slightly and looked and Bell and Blaise blankly. "I can hear you, you know?"

"Good," answered Blaise. "Then you can tell us what is bothering you so much."

Draco turned his head back to the scenery outside. "Nothing."

"Draco, please we want to help…" Bell pleaded. Draco was her friend and she didn't want to see him like this.

"Leave him be, Bell," Blaise said. "He'll figure it out."

Draco kept facing the window while running his fingers over the faint scar.

They wouldn't understand. This scar will always be a constant reminder of what I once failed to do but will some day achieve. Harry Potter. I will beat you.

It doesn't matter that you acquired fame for doing nothing. It doesn't matter that practically all of the wizarding world looks up to you and sees you as their hero. It doesn't matter that nearly every girl has a crush on you and you have your own fan club. It doesn't matter that you are better than me at Quidditch without even trying. And it doesn't even matter if everyone respects you and not me. But I hate you. I hate you for being the reason behind the tasks I have every year. I hate you for being alive and so damn noble. I hate you for being the only one who's had the chance to face Voldemort. But I hate you the most for taking all of my father's attention…and even Ginny's.

I will win, Potter. One day I will have everything and you will be left with nothing. Time will tell. Just you wait.

Back at Malfoy Manor, Draco was once again sitting in his father's office reporting on what he had found out at Hogwarts. Draco was annoyed at being stuck in Lucius's office all morning just to talk about Harry Potter, but he dare not reveal his irritation. After everything had been said, Draco walked towards the door ready to leave but Lucius had some last words to say.

"Good work, Draco."

"Thank you, Father," Draco replied before leaving the room.

Feeling the need for some air, Draco stepped out into the gardens and walked around for a while and stumbled upon David meditating on the lawn. Draco stood there quietly and pondered why he was here. David was a tall and well built man in his mid forties with dark brown hair and tanned skin. He had been here for a month to teach him when Ginny had gone to Egypt but he still didn't understand why.

Draco was shook out of his pondering by Davids voice. "Come sit with me, Draco," he said while still sitting on the grass with his eyes closed.

Draco walked over to him and sat down with his legs crossed. David continued his meditating but Draco just sat there and waited. After a while, David opened his eyes and turned to look at Draco.

"Why are you here?" Draco asked.

"To teach you,"

"But why? I'm a wizard; I don't need to learn what you know."

David smiled. "Do you know what is happening right now in this magical world?"

Draco frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, in reference to Harry Potter and You Know Who?"

Draco scrunched his hands up into fists. "Him again. Why is it, that Bloody Harry Potter is mentioned everywhere I go? At school, at home, with you and even Ginny. Merlin, does my life evolve around him or something."

David placed a hand on Draco's shoulder. "One day, you will discover that all you see now isn't what it seems."

Draco looked at David with confusion. He was only forty or so years old but he spoke like he was a hundred.

"I want to show you something," David said while standing up.

Draco stood and followed him to another area of the garden where there were two target boards standing on the lawn. David handed Draco a small dagger before holding one and throwing it at the board, where it landed smack in the middle.

"It's a good way to vent your frustrations," He said.

Draco looked down at the dagger in his hand before throwing it as hard as he could. It missed the board and landed in the rose bush. Before he could react, he was handed another dagger.

"Concentrate," David said, "Hold all that you feel in your hands and throw it at the board where the cause of all of it lies."

Draco formed a face of determination and held the dagger in his hands. Concentrating hard, he threw the weapon and it landed on the top left side corner where he imagined Harry Potter's scar would be.

Christmas landed on a Sunday this year and Ginny asked if she could stay at Malfoy Manor to celebrate Christmas with Draco. Ginny was so excited because her mother said yes and couldn't wait to tell Draco. Arriving at Malfoy Manor on Christmas Eve, Ginny saw that the Christmas decorations had all been put up and the traditional tree was in the middle of the foyer like every other year. Sarah had taken Ginny's coat when she arrived and let her do as she wished.

Ginny thought it weird that Draco had not come to find her. Had he forgotten? Wondering around the library after she had tried his room, Ginny was surprised when Draco came in breathing hard and all sweaty.

"I went for a walk but ended up walking further that I thought," he explained in one breath.

Ginny smiled at Draco's rugged look. He was always very neat and clean, but right now his hair was a mess, and his clothes were crooked and dirty.

Draco noticed Ginny staring and looked down at himself. "I think I should get cleaned up first."

"I'll be waiting," Ginny said with a smile.

Draco went up to his room while Ginny made herself comfortable in the library. With nothing else to do, she took out her notepad and charcoal pencil to begin drawing. Ginny liked to draw eyes the most. She found that she could be drawing the same person's eyes, but every time they would be different.

After drawing a pair of eyes, Ginny began to add eyebrows other facial features. Soon enough, she had a thin, pointy face with messy hair and eyes with a strong gaze. Ginny smiled as she realized who she was drawing.

Draco entered the library and saw Ginny sitting at a table with a sweet smile on her face while sketching. He walked over to her and Ginny lifted her head when she heard his footsteps.

She held her hand up and held her notepad close to her heart. "Don't move," She said.

Draco froze. "Why?" he asked.

Ginny put her hand down. "Just sit over there for a few more minutes while I finish this, please,"

Draco obliged and went to sit at the sofa. Ginny resumed her sketching for a few more minutes before grinning and walking over to where Draco sat. She handed him her notepad and waited for his reaction.

Ginny was looking at Draco expectantly while grinning. Draco looked at the sketch of him with messy hair and crooked clothes.

Add a scar and glasses and I'll look like Potter. Was that who she was trying to draw?>
