Hogwarts-The Day Before The Ball

Ginny hated herself,she couldn't belive that she agreed to dance with Draco at the ball,this was so not right. Not after she'd just gotten over him,was set free for that brief moment. Right now Ginny was walking down the steps into the Gryfinndor Common Room. She was wearing a White Sweater and Black slacks. Ginny sat ona chair near the fire mentaly cursing herself for agreeing to Hermione's wish. "I hate her.." Ginny mumbled staring into the fire.

Meanwhile...

Hermione and Blaise were sitting in the library talking about how they would get Draco to notice Ginny and ask her to dance,even though she wouldn't look like herself.

"I don't think Draco will even go to the Ball." Blaise said shaking his head.

"Well isn't he going with Millie?" Hermione asked curiously

"No,Millie broke up with him..for his sake though...or so she said. I don't think Millie could handle Draco being so mopey." Blaise said with a slight laugh.

"If I were Millie I don't think I could eathier." Hermione laughed quietly. There was a short silence when Blaise spoke again.

"Hermione..."

"Yeah?"

"Would..Would you go to the...Ball with me?" Blaise asked nervously hoping she would say know.

Hermione was silent when a small smile graced her lips. "Yes Blaise. I'll go to the ball with you." Hermione said and hugged him. Blaise hugged her back happy with himself that he'd asked her now rather then later. They broke away and began to work out a plan.

Draco was sitting at his desk in his Head Boy room. "I have to do this." He whispered and took out a peice of parchment. He wrote a quick note to Ginny on it(A/N I will tell you what it says when Ginny finds it) and took out his wand. Mumbling something the note disappeared to Ginny's bed. "Hope she finds it." Draco said and walked out of the room.

That Afternoon

Ginny and the trio had just returned from lunch,Ginny headed upstairs to her room to get some parchment for her Transfiguration assignment when she found the note and read it aloud.

"Dear Ginny,

This is something I have to do. I won't tell you where I'm going but I can't stand the fact of you in Potters arms while I watch from the sidelines. Just know that I love you Ginny and always will.

Love,

Draco"

"Merlin what have I done!" Ginny whispered and hurried down the steps carrying the note. "Harry! Where's Hermione!" Ginny yelled as she ran down the steps.

"In the library,what's the rush.?" Harry asked curiously.

"Note..Draco..I'll explain later." Ginny said breathless and hurried off to the library

Hermione and Blaise were talking and pointing at different places on a peice of parchment when Ginny ran over to them.

"Woah! What's wrong Gin.?" Blaise asked seeing the parchment.

"D..Draco's gone!" She said sitting down and handing him and Hermione the note.

"Blaise you didn't tell him?" Hemrione asked

"Well I didn't want to hurt him more if Ginny said no. We have to find him..."

"Where could he be though? The only places I can think of are Hogsmead or Malfoy Manor." Ginny said and she and Hermione both looked at Blaise.

"Malfoy Manor..I'd highly doubt he'd go there. Especially when his father is still alive. He's been staying with my family over the summers." Blaise said.

Ginny looked shocked and stood up. "I..need some air. We search Hogmead tonight." Ginny said and they others nodded and she left out side to the lake.

Draco's POV

I was walking to The Three Broomsticks, I wore a black cloak that hid my face,keeping a close eye out for anyone that might be looking for me. I slipped inside the Three Broomsticks. Walking up to the counter I ordered a butterbeer and sat at a secluded table,thinking of Ginny and how she was probably happy I was gone. Though I hadn't totally convince myself about that yet.

My eyes widened when I looked up at the door because the room got suddenly quiet. Strolling up to the counter the Lucius Malfoy with that smirk on his face,that said he was planning something. I hid in the shadows best I could,making sure Lucius wouldn't see me. What the heck was he doing out of Askaban...broke out none the less. Though after about ten minutes,after finishing his drink he left,glancing in my direction but continued walking out the door. I let out a sigh of relief as I finished my butterbeer and just sat there, as the room grew loud again.

I hoped he wasn't planning to to attack the school with everyone there. I wouldn't be able to live with my self if I knew something happened to Ginny, Millie, Blaise, even Hermione! I stood up and walked out the door watching..making sure he wasn't anywhere nearby.

That Night

I had spent my day strolling around Hogsmead, looking around in the shops. Now I was laying on a small mat I had bought and laid on the ground in an abandoned alley. Never in a Million years would I have thought I'd be sleeping like this. Then again..I'd never thought I'd fall in love with the youngest Weasly eathier. My life was just turned upside down so quickly. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

Ginny, Blaise, and Hermione were walking down the road to Hogsmead. Since they couldn't apparate on the grounds. "We're almost there." Blaise announced breaking the long silence they had been walking in.

"I just hope he's ok." Ginny said nervously as they approached Hogsmead. It looked very creepy at night even though street Lamps light the way. Hogsmead was usually bustling with people. Standing in the middle of the road they spoke in low voices,hoping not to arrouse any of the very few wizards that were asleep.

"Ok..Hermione you search all the alley's on the left. Ginny you on the right,and I'll search up to the end of the road. We'll meet back here in 30 minutes." Blaise said. Hermione and Ginny nodded and they parted ways.

Draco who hadn't quiet fallen asleep yet heard quiet footsteps approaching. Please don't be Lucius! He thought,even though he was hidden in the shadows,he would be able to see who ever it was in the moonlight. Then he heard someone quietly calling his name.

"Draco! Draco!" The voice quietly yelled. Was that? No..it couldn't be Ginny. Why would she bother to look for him? Well sure enough it was Ginny he saw in the Moonlight. She turned around after a few minutes not finding him and began walking away when she heard a rustling then foot steps behind her. Ginny's body tensed,not knowing who it was,and jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Slowly turning around she could vaguely make out Draco's face. Without thinking she hugged him.

"I'm glad your ok Draco. I thought you were gone for good!" Ginny said looking up at him. Draco just smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't think you'd care,you acted as if you could careless what I did." Draco said.

"I know..but I can never stop loving you Draco. Oh and...I'll save a dance for you." Ginny said giggling slightly at his confused face. "Blaise didn't tell you I agreed to dance with you once at the Ball. I wish it could be more to tell you the truth,but I agreed to go with Harry. Who doesn't even like the fact I'm dancing with you once." Ginny said with a laugh, Draco joined in but they both stopped after a minute hearing the voices of Blaise and Hermione.

Ginny and Draco walked to the end of the alley. "Stay here in the shadows. I'll call you." Ginny said walking out to the others.

"So you didn't find anything?" Ginny asked them both.

"Nope." Hermione said

"Me eathier. But neathier did you." Blaise said

"I wouldn't be to sure of that. Draco come out." Ginny called. Hermione and Blaise got wide-eyed as Draco stepped out of the shadows and walk over to them.

"Draco!" Blaise said with a grin. "Good to see you."

Draco laughed."It's good to be back...We should get going though."

They all agreed and started the five minute walk back to Hogwarts. Halfway there though Ginny practically fell asleep so Draco carried her the rest of the way,up untill they had to part. Hermione took Ginny and waved to them as they walked up the stairs to the Gryfinndor common room. Inside looking at the clock it was 1 AM. Hermione walked up the stairs to the girls dormitory and laid Ginny down in her bed, using her wand to changed Ginny into her PJ's so it wouldn't look as if she had gone out.

Hermione walked to the 7th year girls dormitory and as she changed into her PJ's fell asleep as soon she hit the bed. They four slept peacefully that night, for the first time in a long time.

A/N: I decided that the Ball will be in the next chapter. R&R :)
