Chapter 4: Breaking Her Heart

No matter how hard he tried he couldn't keep his eyes off her. From her beautiful fire red hair to the little brown freckles that seemed to splash across her face. Ginny wandered out of the Potion's room looking exhausted, and Draco tried hard not to let his gaze follow after her. She was so perfect in every aspect, he couldn't image being with any other girl. It would have to end though. He had known that much last night when he had held her in his arms. She deserved so much better than he could give her. With him she wasputting herself in danger and that was a risk Draco wasn't willing to gamble. If his father even so much suspected him and Ginny were involed in any time of relationship, Draco shivered at the thought. No, he wasn't afraid of his father, just afraid of what he might do to Ginny. Lucius had already tried to kill her once and Draco would make everyattempt to make sure it didn't happen again. Even if that meant breaking off the relationship.

"Oh Drakie darling!" A sickly sweet voice called from behind him.

"Dammit!" Draco cursed under his breath. Despite his attempts to eluded that stupid cow Pansy she always manged to find him.

"Did you say something?" Pansy cooed in his ear, wrapping herself around him. She tried to pull him in for a kiss, but he backed away repulsed.

"Ah! Get off me!" Draco said pushing her away, he had enough of this.

Pansy began to sulk. "What's the matter? Don't you want me anymore?"

Draco laughed mockingly. "I never did want you. Everyone knows you're just an fat whore of a cow." As soon as the words left his mouth he wondered if he should take them back. No, she deserved it Draco decided.

Tears began to well up in Pansy's eyes and her lip began to quiver. "Does this mean we're breaking up?"

Draco replaced his harsh voice with a soft tone. "Yes Pansy, I'm pretty sure we're through." We were never together in the first place you idiot, he wanted to shout, but he knew it would only make the situation worse.

As he strode into the Snape's classroom he thought bitterly how he would have to break up with Ginny. If she even remotely reacted like Pansy just had, he wouldn't be able to bare it. To see tears shimmering from her beautiful milky brown eyes. "Mr. Malfoy?" Draco shook his head. Where was he? Looking up from his desk he saw a very unhappy Severus Snape frowning at him from the front of the room.

"Are you with us today Mr. Malfoy or should I arrange a meeting with you after class?" Snape sneered in his usual demeanor.

"No Professor actually I'm feeling quite fine today." Malfoy remarked snidely. Loud snickers could be heard throughout the room from the Slytherin side of the room. The Gryffindors however did not seem amused. Snape did not say anything to contradict him. He was afraid of Draco in a way. Afraid of what Draco knew about his past. No one in the Order really knew if Draco Malfoy had made the same mistake as his father in serving the Dark Lord and he planned to keep it that way.

The rest of Potions class was pretty much hell, with Potter and the rest of his gang always on his back, never missing an oportunity to send a rude comment his way. Not that he didn't give as much as he received. Something was odd though, the Granger girl was acting strangely today. Every time Potty or anyone insulted him she seemed to flinch. She had obviously talked about something with Ginny last night. He wanted to ask her, but he would have to wait later until he could get Ginny alone.

Ginny the bitter resolution sunk back into his brain. He had to break it off. No he couldn't, just one more week, he promised himself. One more week until he ended everything. He couldn't bare to think about it. Pushing his immediate thoughts into the back of his mind, he hastily began taking notes on the days lesson.
