..:AN: Hello! Im so bored, so i may have quite a few updates today. We'll see. Hope you likes:.

Ginny looked at Luna who motioned her head towards the door. Ginny shrugged and to her surprise Luna got up and came over to her at the Gryffindor table.

"Go." She whispered quietly enough so Neville, who was talking to Ron at the moment, wouldn't hear. Ginny blinked and pulled a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Go where?" she whispered back. Luna looked at her with her large eyes like she was a complete idiot.

"After him, go see what's wrong." Luna continued. Ginny snorted a little.

"Why would I do something like that?" she asked in bewilderment. Luna pressed on with the annoying gaze.

"Because I'm nosy and you know that, and if he snaps at you to leave him be BAM there's your money." she pressed on giving her a slight nudge. Ginny sighed looking down at her half eaten cinnamon roll and glared at Luna as she got out of her seat and left the Great Hall quietly.

"Where's she off too?" Neville asked. Luna shrugged and stood up, intending to go back to her table.

"I think she left something in the library." she said simply and smiled and Neville before walking back to her house table.

Ginny sighed running a hand through her hair as she looked at all the different passages she could take in order to find Draco. She cursed a little as she heard the sound of many footsteps and scraping of benches coming from the Great Hall signaling that classes would soon start. She shrugged and went with Luna to her Divinations class.

"Did you find him?" Luna whispered anxiously. Ginny shook her head.

"No I didn't have enough time, but I know where I can." she shrugged as they trudged up the stairs.

As they settled into the comfy arm chairs Luna smiled happily, she loved Divination for some odd reason Ginny could never fathom, and she excelled in this class above all others.

"What are we doing today?" Ginny asked, yawning in the lightly lit classroom. She hated it because it was always so stiffingly hot in here she wanted to open every window in the place.

Luna shrugged pulling back her blonde hair and securing it with a very disgusting looking spiked stick. Ginny stared at it for quite a while. It reminded her of a stick with thorns, it was making her eyebrow twitch a little and she slapped her hand over eye.

"What's wrong?" Luna asked. Ginny smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

The class was nothing out of the usual. Ginny read Luna's palm and Luna read Ginny's. They had to do sketches of the loops on their fingers and what it symbolized. All very ordinary, all very boring. The rest of the day went that way but there was a bit of a buzz in the school since Malfoy hadn't been to any of his classes and no one could seem to find him.

At lunch Ginny took up a seat beside Colin Creevey, who was eating a raw carrot in a quite beaver-like fashion. Ginny laughed a little but to her surprise, she was a little worried about Malfoy.

"Did you hear about double potions being canceled?" Colin asked excitedly. Ginny's jaw dropped, never had any of her classes been cancelled unless due to emergencies.

"No I didn't. Are you sure?" she asked. She grabbed a napkin and pointed her wand at it, transfiguring it into a paper bag underneath the table and began shoving sandwich halves and other foods into it. "Dumbledore just announced it before you came in, if you would stop being late for once. He said Snape had some things to attend to." He shrugged. Ginny smirked.

"Thanks Colin." she said ruffling his hair to annoy him and leaving the Great Hall.

"Oy!" he yelled after he, disgustedly trying to adjust his now messy hair.

Draco was laying at the edge of his lake watching the water ripple as the warm breeze washed over him. He had calmed a little but he was still aghast to the center of his core. He loathed his parents, but mostly his father.

He used to try and please his father when he was younger but he had given up long ago. But now, he was debating whether to even go back to the school and just stay here forever. The water was calling him, he longed to swim in it but as he looked at it he shivered remembering his dream. He never thought even his mind could come up with something as disturbing as that. He sighed lowering his head into the lush grass, he was exhausted, the letter from his parents weighing on his mind.

Who ever would have thought his parents would start nagging at him and Pansy to get engaged already? There were few precious months before he had to leave Hogwarts, so little time for him to make up his mind about what he was going to do.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone sitting down beside him, and the smell of food drafting over to him, that and the smell of vanilla. He didn't even open his eyes he just yawned, to his surprise he felt a little better knowing for some reason she came to find him, bearing food. He was starving and that vanilla smell was driving him mad.

"What could the house elves have made that could possibly smell that amazing?" he asked, folding his arms behind his head.

Ginny opened the bag she brought and looked into the food she filled it with.

"Cinnamon buns? There my absolute favourite thing they make. But that's basically the only other thing that would smell any good." she said.

"No not that, I smell vanilla." he said sitting up and opening his eyes. He looked at Ginny who was blushing a little.

"That's my perfume.." she laughed handing him the bag. "I thought you might be hungry since you left so abruptly this morning." he took it from her thankfully, a little shocked that she had come looking for him.

"What are you doing here?" he blurted out, she looked at him a little taken aback but he continued. "I mean aren't you going to get in shit for cutting class?" he asked, watching the sun make golden streaks in her hair.

She shook her head holding onto her knees. "Potions was canceled today. Supposedly Snape had some matters to attend to." she explained. Draco cursed remembering his meeting he was supposed to have after school with Snape, that was canceled and now probably he would receive a weeks detention.

He noticed Ginny was looking at him with something he'd never seen before. Her lips were in a tight line and her brow creased a little. He looked at her curiously wondering what to say to break the comfortable silence but she did it for him.

"Are you alright?" she asked, he now picked up on the look from her tone. She was concerned. He was quite bewildered by this, he had never had anyone ask him that and mean it before.

"Your giving me a chance aren't you? I mean really giving me a chance to prove I'm not who you think I am." he asked, and to his surprise her face split into a small smile and she nodded.

"I guess I am." she confessed. "But what happened this morning? What's going on?" she pressed on. Draco sighed laying back in the grass, she looked down at him leaning on one hand.

"I don't want to bother you with it okay?" he muttered. Ginny shook her head.

"I'm not settling for that, I'm giving you a chance and I'm treating you like a friend. I want to help." she said. Ginny winced inwardly a little wondering if she really did. Wasn't she supposed to be trying to piss him off so he would give her the money? She looked at his grey eyes and she could see behind them was a deeply troubled person. Then she realized she really did want to help.

"You've heard the rumors about myself and my family haven't you?" he asked, closing his weary eyelids again.

"Yes."

"Then you know my father's a Death Eater and serves Voldemort like a lap dog." he continued.

Ginny swallowed, a little disturbed. Watching him lay there, talking about so much evil so calmly. What had this person been exposed to over his life? She shuddered to think about it.

"Yes." she answered again.

"Then you know my father has plans for me. Expects me to become a Death Eater."

"Yes." she answered looking out to the lake and shuddering a little. It didn't seem to have the same warmth it had yesterday when he had taken her here.

"Well I got word today that he bought me and Parkinson a house in the South of France and has started planning our wedding, which is to be held right after my Death Eater initiation." he explained. Ginny watched the same greenish colour return to his cheeks.

Draco waited through the silence again. Expecting her to turn and run, to tell all her friends that they were right and that she believed he was going to be a Death Eater. He expected her to believe he was evil, even though he knew he wasn't.

"Is it what you want?" her voice said. shattering into his thoughts. He sat up and looked at her confused.

"What?" he asked. She shifted a little, she looked troubled and he noticed she was looking at him worriedly.

"Is it what you want? To follow your father, to follow Voldemort and to marry Pansy?" she asked. She picked at the grass a little, small grass stains forming on her small white socks that her black shoes didn't cover.

Draco shrugged looking at the water, repressing another shiver as he remembered his dream.

"I don't know." he said honestly. Ginny nodded and laid back down in the grass, Draco doing the same both watching the white wisps of clouds drift by.

"I can't do it." Ginny confessed to Luna in Divination the next morning. There were circles under her eyes and she looked like she had barely gotten any sleep.

"Can't do what?" Luna inquired, finishing up her sketch of Ginny's life line. Ginny adjusted her ponytail, trying to stifle a yawn.

"I can't cheat Draco into making him give me the money. I can't do it." she said truthfully, Luna gaped at her.

"Why not! Gin it's the perfect deal!" she said, Trelawney shot her a dirty look for raising her voice so she leaned over. "What happened to make you change your mind?" Ginny sighed and leaned over, her elbow resting against one of the many candles that filled the room.

"I never expected it, his dads arranging him to get married after he receives the Dark Mark."

"What!" Luna yelled. Ginny jumped, her elbow knocking over the candle that lit the dark corner of the room which toppled onto her backpack setting it alight quickly. Ginny screamed and jumped out of her chair whipping out her wand and dousing the flames that were spreading on the carpeted floor with a large stream of water.

"Move aside! Move aside!" came Trelawney's shrill voice as she pushed aside the crowd of people that had moved to the far side of the room to avoid the flames. Ginny didn't remember what happened next, she just remembered staring at her bag, horrified with wide eyes.

"Miss Weasley! Are you alright? How's your leg..you better get to the hospital wing quickly. I foresaw danger for today, but I didn't think one of my students would have gotten injured. Miss Lovegood will you escort Miss Weasley to the hospital wing?" Luna nodded.

"Injured..right." Ginny said pursing her lips, she just looked at her bag on the verge of tears. She carefully bent to pick it up and that's when she felt the pain in her right leg. Looking down she saw her skin was black and cracked a little and bleeding quite a bit. She winced and grabbed a hold of the soaked bag and grabbing onto Luna's arm for support they began to hobble down to the hospital wing.
