Chapter two.

"Ron, what are you guys doing here?" she asked hugging him.

"Ginny are you ok? Has Malfoy hurt you?" Ron asked looking her over. "You look like you've been crying."

"Yes well when you have a brother who runs away on a death mission and your dead Head Master wrote you letters before he died, you would cry to, and don't worry, Malfoy has not harmed me and besides I just scared the shit out of him."

"How did you scare him?" Hermione but in.

"I was in my animegus form." Ginny replied simply.

"your and animegus?" the three asked astonished.

"Black panther." She replied promptly.

"Wonderful." Hermione said breathlessly.

"Ginny," harry began. "Dumbledore wrote you?"

"Yes." She said softly.

"What did it say?" He asked hopefully.

"HE was giving me a lesson in trust." She looked down. "You guys shouldn't be here, but hold on." once again she ran to her room coming back they all looked on with awe as the magnificent panther pranced down the stairs, holding a book in its mouth. She let hersef transform back handing them the book. "Take this, you'll be swifter as an animegus." She smile. "Good bye."

Ginny woke up the next morning after and sat on one of the plush couches in the common room a cup of coffee in hand. "I'm sorry for walking in your room last night but I figured you'd want to know." Draco interrupted.

"Its alright, they didn't harm you did they?"

He shook his head. "No but then again I let them in while I was sitting on the stairs they didn't get tow say noting to me."

"Good because they could be jerks." She smiled.

"Hmm… I didn't see your lover boy all over you. What did he not think you were feisty enough in bed?"

Ginny could feel her blood boiling. "You know what you ferret let me tell you something. Harry is a good person but a bad boy friend. He thinks breaking up with me will save me. He's a good person but he's an idiot. So all summer I had to live in the same house with him and you know what last night was the first time he said anything to me since Dumbledore's funeral."

At the old mans name ginny watched Draco stiffen, fear in his eyes.

"Malfoy I know-" She was cut off.

"You know nothing of hell." He yelled fiercly storming out of the room leaving Ginny speechless, and in his wake a little note lay on the floor. Shaken she picked up the small letter and opened it.

Draco,

You must not blame yourself for what has happened. You were only looking after yourself. I know of the torture that would have been suffered had I not died. You are a brilliant young wizard, you have so much life ahead of you. Embrace it, befriend the most unlikely of people. Don't let this ruin your life Draco, there is so much of it in you. You are a good man.

Draco, life will make you tired and weary of considerations, and life is to much like a pathless wood. You stumble blindly through the underbrush not knowing where you are going, only having your past to help you along. The twigs will lash across your face leaving not necessarily physical scars, but ones that are much deeper, ones that do not break the surface, ones your burry deep inside of your heart and only you can change it. Earth is the right place for love.

SINCEARLY

Albus Dumbledore.

PS. What is on the other side of hate, but love?

Ginny looked around the empty common room tears threatening to fall blinding her.

"I don't believe him you know." Draco's voice came from the door. "I am not a good person, I almost killed him."

"You know what Malfoy, he is a wise man. I know what position you were put in, consequences would have been great I'm sure, he told me trust in you."

"Do you Weasley? Do you trust me?" he asked.

"Trust is something to be earned Malfoy and instead I find myself handing it to you."

"You know I don't think anyone has ever said such kind words to me." He whispered.

"you deserve them."

"Why?"

"Because you have Dumbledore's trust and so you have mine."

"Yeah, Dumbledore had trusted me and look what happened to him."

"Its not your fault."

"the hell it isn't." he replied leaving the room once again.

Ginny sat next to Draco her eyes focused on her professor but her thoughts lay else where, three weeks had passed, every one was getting used to the schedule. She hadn't spoken to Draco much since that day. Nights she would go to the library he would show up, transfigure a chair in to the plush couch and sit in silence with her. She was always tired, worried about her brother. He had sent her a letter it want but he had informed her they were all animegus, that made her so proud. He told her they were ok and not to expect a letter for a while because things were getting dangerous. Her thoughts drifted from her brother to the boy next to her. She had taken to hanging with brandy on regular days. She missed not being with her friend but was coping by seeing her when she could. But Ginny was occupied trying to get to know more about The Dragon, which proved to be difficult because he was so bottled up.

Draco stood as the bell signaling for the end of the day. "Draco?"

He looked at the red headed beauty beside him. "What"

"Can we talk I want to discuss something?"

He sighed. "Fine, after dinner meet me in our common room."

She nodded walking quietly to dinner with him. "Hey?"

"What Weasley?" he asked annoyed.

"Can I call you Draco?" she asked shyly.

"I Guess."

"Ginny."

"What?" he asked.

"Call me Ginny."

"Fine."

She smiled. "Draco?"

"YES Ginny?" He asked exasperated.

"Can I borrow your DADA notes?"

"were you not listening?" he snapped.

She turned red and looked down. "NO."

"What were you doing?" he sneered. "Thinking about Potter?"

"No, you." She said running off to eat fast so she could wait for him in the common room.

Draco stopped dead in his tracts watching her sprint away.

Xoxoxoxoxoxox

"Alright Weasley, what did you want to discuss?" he asked plopping down on the couch next to her.

"Its Ginny, and I wanted to throw a Christmas ball."

"Why?" he asked disgusted.

"Because I think it would be fun."

"Ginny there are 20 people here at the school and proubly 6 people would be able to go, and who would take you?"

"You?" she questioned.

"Why me?"

"Because you'd be with out a partner."

"Well that makes me feel better." He said sarcastically.

"And because maybe we could get to know each other."

"Fine. So have you made plans?"

"Yes and I talked to McGonagall she said if you agreed it would be fine." Draco Groaned.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoox

"Hey Ginny." Brandy said sitting next to her bestfriend in the library Saturday evening.

"Hey brandy how's the baby?"

"Good."

"Have you told Colin yet?"

"Yes he's happy, his parents ant me to move in, but I want to finish as much school as possible, its exciting."

"Cool, guess what?"

"Hmmmm?"

"Were holding a Christmas ball Malfoy and I are going together."

Brandy laughed. "You finally told him you like him?"

"Not exactly."

Brandy laughed. "So did you ask or did he?"

"Me, well I suggested it he just agreed."

"Fun, fun, I hope I can fit in a dress look at me I'm huge."

"Does McGonagal know?"

"Yes she said that she will allow me to continue school even after the baby arrives."

"That's awesome, hey listen I'm going to meet up with Draco we have to discuss decorations, the ball is in two months, take care of my baby." Ginny said sprinting off to meet with Draco.
