Hey kids! Umm...this is Chapter 8. It's pretty cool : Please review :

Dear Ginny,

I told you this morning that it would be best for us to keep our relationship secret. And now as I look back on those words, I feel immense regret for saying them. We have a bond. I know you can feel it too. And although we both know how our families feel about each other…why should we let that stop us?

That's all I had written, though I knew I wasn't actually going to give it to her. I'd have to deal with my stupid mistake. I was in my first class of the term, and I knew already it would be terrible. I couldn't pay attention to a word Professor McGonagall said, nonetheless take notes on what she was saying. My eyes glazed over and a girl with flaming red hair was smiling. Her freckles were scattered across her pale face and she ran toward me. I took her in my arms, she opened her mouth…

"What is the spell for transforming people into objects, Mr. Malfoy?" I was brought back to reality as I looked up into the stern eyes of my professor. A quick glance down at my open book gave me the right answer, "Verdaniam Bodim." She left my desk instantaneously and I quickly went back to my daydream.

I was looking out across the grounds when I saw her. She was sitting with her friend, Lottie I think her name was. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. And as far as I could see, she was in the same state of mind as I was. Her eyes were glazed over and a half smile played slightly on her lips told me that she was having a good daydream. I watched as Lottie noticed she was talking to a wall. Ginny started talking. Her lips moved like lightning. Close to the end of her monologue, she started to cry. Lottie held her and spoke what I presumed to be comforting words. A small smile formed across Ginny's mouth and she looked up. She looked towards my window. For a second I thought she saw me…

And there was the bell. I sighed and picked up my bag and books and hurried out of the now noisy classroom.

There he was. Walking alongside his pug as I made my way to my first class of the term. I was striding along, Hermione and Ron next to me asking me a billion questions about how Slytherin was. I was trying to explain it wasn't as bad as I had thought. But when my eyes met his, my stomach flipped over and I was speechless. His smile widened as he saw me walking towards him. My hand lifted slightly to wave at him, but I quickly held it down. I started to blush furiously, so I quickly hurried ahead of Hermione and Ron and entered my first class, Transfigurations. I sat next to Luna Lovegood, because she was the only person I knew.

"Why hello Ginny!" she said cheerfully as soon as she noticed I was there. "How's Slytherin? Any friends yet? Any crushes yet?" Draco drifted into my mind for a split second but then I forced him to leave.

"One friend. Her name is Lottie. She's mega sweet. And umm. Crushes? One." I unwillingly smiled and thought of his hand massaging mine.

"Oh. Who? Slytherin, yeah?" Luna was nosy, but I had no intention of telling her. None. Whatsoever.

"Ok you have to keep this quiet." I whispered. "It's Draco Malfoy." I looked away from her eyes for a minute and she quietly said, "Ginny Weasley. Are you out of your mind!" I was. I had a crush on Draco Malfoy. DRACO MALFOY! I put my head in my hands and moaned "Yess!"

"Ohh honey!" she said trying to prevent tears from falling down my cheeks, "It's okay! You can't help who you love." Luna saw that I was about to cry, so she took my hand and dragged me to the nearest ladies' room and sat me down on the ground.

"Spill. Now." She said shortly. I hated her simple persuasiveness. And off I went. Again. I had no idea how I could talk so much in one day. For some reason this explanation seemed to go much quicker and by the time I was finished we still had 15 more minutes of class. Luna sat there, no words escaped her slightly opened mouth. But then she finally broke the silence.

"Ginevra Weasley. What in Godric Gryfindor's name are you thinking!" she practically screamed , but then continued in a lighter tone, "I mean, sorry. Ginny? What was going through your head as this story unraveled?" She always had a way with words. I looked away from her stare, sighed and shook my head.

"Luna, I don't know. I'm so confused about everything. Everything has changed in the last few weeks. Nothing is how it's supposed to be."

"And what is this thing with Draco? I mean, this is Draco Malfoy we are talking about, sweetie. I-I just don't understand. Like-" I met her eyes and interrupted her sentence harsher than I meant to.

"Oh and you think I do? I know this is Draco Malfoy, my enemy for all time and eternity. But I don't care! I want to be with him. And he wants to be with me. I just don't know how we can. I guess we could-"

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold up a sec. You aren't really thinking about getting with him are you?" Luna said shocked to the core. I gave her a guilty smile and then put my head in my hands.

"Oh wow. We have a much bigger problem than I was expecting. Whatcha gonna do?" she asked petting my hair. I looked up at her and just shook my head. Everything was just so confusing.

"Well come on, sweetie. We better get out of here. It's almost time for lunch. We can talk about this later, all right?" Luna said, grabbing her bag and standing up. I tried to hold back the inevitable tears, but as I said, well, they were inevitable. Drops of wet tears slid down my face, and as I left the bathroom, I could've cared less who saw them. I hated this situation. The intense longing to be with someone, that you could never be with. I just wanted out.
