It had been twenty minutes into the ride back to where ever they were headed before anyone spoke. Draco as always when it came to them was the first to speak.

"Virginia your not angry with me are you?' he asked carefully. He didn't really want to anger her again no matter how good she looked when she was angry.

"What do you think Malfoy?" she spat vehemently. "I mean after all, you did just get me about half a year worth of detentions, if we ever get back to the castle."

"You mean to tell me you don't even know where we are going?" Draco asked looking out the window.

"No, I don't," she answered becoming sad.

"Strange because I do, but I am not sure if I really want to tell you," he replied smirking to himself, for his plan was continuing to work.

"Please tell me, I will…" Ginny started to say jumping up from her feet.

"You will what? Do anything?" Draco asked as his smirk grew larger. She really was predictable.

"No," she said with a smirk of her own, she too saw where the train was headed, or at least she was pretty sure that she did.

"Sorry Virginia but you are wrong it's not headed towards Hogsmead," Draco said as if he could read her thoughts.

"Who says I thought that was where we were headed?" She asked indignantly. How on earth did he know that? She thought to herself.

"Virginia you are easier to read then Healer Truess," Draco replied.

"Will you please just tell me where we are going?" She practically begged him.

"I guess it would only be fair for me to tell you," Draco started to say, Ginny smiled at him brightly hoping he would tell her, "However I wont do it for free." He finished and Virginia's smile fell instantly when she heard the words.

"Draco you disgust me, you know my family has little money, and that I really want to know so you use the one thing I don't have against me," she yelled as she moved to leave the compartment.

'Virginia, I never said that you would have to pay with money," he blurted out as a last resort. Ginny stopped and turned to face him once again.

"Really what may I ask would I pay you with then?" she asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.

"I need you to be my girlfriend," Draco said quickly yet clearly.

"Say whaaa?" She stated slightly dazed and confused. "I-I mean pardon?"

"I need you to be my girlfriend," he repeated once again.

"Yes I know what you said but why?" she asked. Draco was becoming annoyed, all he wanted was a simple answer and he was getting twenty questions.

"Does it really matter why? I know what you are thinking you're a Weasley I am a Malfoy we were never supposed to date but in Dumbledore's will he asked that there would be interhouse realations," Draco said. He waited a moment before mumbling, "well there is that and the whole thing with my mother saying its about time I had a respectful young lady to come home with."

"So you would just be using me to please your mother?" she asked, for some reason she felt sad. Surely I am not feeling sad because Draco would be using me. I mean its not like I like him right? Ginny wondered to herself.

"You weren't really supposed to hear that part, and no, I wouldn't just use you to impress my mother. Virginia, I would want you to be my girlfriend, I mean for reasons other than what I just stated. I would want you as my girlfriend even if Dumbledore's will never said a thing about interhouse relationships. I wanted you as a girlfriend before my mother told me it was time to bring home a respectable young lady." Draco practically yelled.

"Prove it, I don't know if I can really trust you I mean with thinking about following orders to kill Dumbledore and want not," Ginny spat at him sitting back down on the couch.

"Virginia, I will do everything I can think of to prove I am telling the truth and to earn your forgiveness, starting with telling you where the train is headed. We are going to Kings Cross station from there we can get off of the train and walk to my house. Once we are at my house we can floo to the Slytherin common room and then walk to the Gryffindor common room.

"Fine, but I am not your girlfriend," Ginny said sternly.
