Nooooo! I lost the notebook I had this chapter written in. So I'm just going to re-write it. Probably won't be as good as the original, but please love me anyway.

"I'll be right back, Zabini." Draco stood and brushed himself off, striding purposefully towards Ginny.

"Sure, mate." The other boy didn't turn around, content to stare in silence at the lake.

Ginny hesitated as she saw the Slytherin walking over to her, then turned on her heel and ran. The winter wind whipped against her face, blowing her hair wildly. She stumbled on the edge of her hand-me-down robe, too big for her, and braced herself for a fall.

But it didn't come.

Strong arms wrapped around her middle, saving her just inches above the ground. Ginny looked over her shoulder, and saw Draco smirking down at her. He held her tightly, one eyebrow raised.

Ginny grimaced, then said coolly, "Let go of me."

Draco nodded slowly, then without a word, let Ginny go unceremoniously. She fell to the ground with an oof.

"I didn't mean to drop me!" She complained from the ground as Draco squatted down next to her.

"You need to be more specific, then. Besides, you should be thanking me for saving you. You owe me your life. Look at the size of that rock your precious little head would've hit." He gestured towards a rock stuck in the ground just inches away from Ginny's head.

Ginny scowled at him, spitting at his feet. "I don't owe you anything."

"Looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson in manners." Draco raised his hand, and Ginny squinted her eyes shut, expecting a blow. But instead, his hand moved to the back of her neck, pulling her head towards him roughly, and she felt his lips on hers.

Ginny flinched, surprised. She felt Draco's tongue force itself through her lips, and he bit at her lower lip. She tried pushing him off her, but the boy was far stronger. He kissed passionately, with no regard for the tears threatening to fall from Ginny's eyes.

"Get off her, Malfoy." Blaise had wandered over to the pair, unnoticed by either of them. "You can have your snogging session with Pansy later in the dorms. Besides, I've got a better idea for this one."

Draco stood, leaving Ginny lying on the ground. She touched her fingers to her tender lips, glaring up at both of them. She quickly stood and ran, not hearing Blaise call after her.

"Ginny!"

Alright, well, read, review. You know the deal. Sorry this chapter sucked, next one will hopefully be better.
