"We've been walking for ages!" Ginny whined. Draco turned around.

"Stop moaning! We're almost there..." he continued through the darkness, Ginny following closely behind.

"I saw you going into forest. Where did you come from?" Ginny asked, curiously.

"That is none of your business, Weasley." he grumbled.

"Okay..."

They walked in silence for only a few moments when Ginny broke it again.

"Let's play a game." God she loved to be annoying. "How about-"

"How about you shut your mouth before I do something about it!" he pinned her against the nearest tree.

"I'm sorry. It's just that I feel like...being annoying." she smiled cheerfully--much opposite to what she felt inside.

"Well then STOP IT. You're driving me mad, I swear. Maybe I will take you Hogwarts..." he muttered.

"Oh that would be so horrible! I mean, I just LOVE staying with you!" she spat sarcastically. Draco turned around and faced a tree. He pulled on an odd-looking branch, and part of the trunk opened. Draco signaled for Ginny to enter, so she did, sighing. Draco followed her. Inside, it was just a regular room. Like a dormitory room, except of course it was decked in green and silver.

"How predictable."

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing."

"Okay..." Draco sat on the only bed in the room, and layed back.

Ginny bit her lip, and sat down on a nearby couch. "Why did you want to keep me with you? That's really random of you."

"I can't tell you that."

"A secret, eh?" Ginny smiled. She'll have to find out what this secret was. "My part of the debt is a secret? How long am I supposed to stay here with you?"

"Forever."

"What!" Ginny stood, shocked.

"I'm only kidding." Draco rolled his eyes.

"Good. And You know what?" Ginny inched toward the bed.

"What?" Draco leaned on a elbow looking perturbed.

"You're a jerk. I hate you."

"Glad to know the feeling is mutual." Draco turned around and faced the wall.

"Then why the fuck did you bring me here? Why couldn't you just tell me flat out the direction back to the school and I wouldn't fucking be here now."

Draco stood next to the bed and strode over to Ginny, a fierce look among him, "Stop asking questions you stupid bitch." he gritted his teeth, "There are things that you're not supposed to know about. There are things I'm supposed to do." He shoved his left arm in front of her face, "You see this? I didn't fucking want this. I was forced to. People are forced to do things they don't want to do. Including you, so shut the fuck up and go to sleep on the bloody couch before there is an accident."

Ginny stared at him for a moment, a look of shock upon her. She didn't know what to think anymore. She shut her mouth, and layed down on the couch. She took one last glance at the fuming Draco Malfoy. he was sitting on his bed and his hands were combed through his hair in an act of frusteration and sadness. For a moment, Draco looked human. Then a tired wave struck Ginny and she fell soundly asleep.

Ginny awoke in the middle of the night, from a noise coming from the bed. Her eyes wavered to Draco. He was clutching his arm. She realized that the Mark must be burning. Why did he resist it? Wasn't he an avid follower? She thought of how he yelled at her before, about how he didn't want it. Was he just fooling her? He was her hated enemy, and now she was in his secret quarters for some unknown reason. She was stupid. Why did she agree to stay with him? She was beginning to think she was insane. She opened her eyes wider when she caught Draco's glance.

"What?" he said harshly.

"Are you alright?" Ginny tried to speak civilly towards him.

"Yes, I'm fine. Now get the fuck asleep." He turned around. Ginny shook her head and stood up.

"I'm not your fucking slave, Malfoy. You asked me to stay with you, so I am. I tried to be pleasant, but if you're going to be unpleasant to me, I'm sure as hell going to be unpleasant to you." she walked toward his bed, and stared directly into his face. "You may think I'm nice and innocent, but you've got another thing coming, mister."

"Shut up!" Draco said, frusterated. For once, Draco seemed at a loss for words. All of a sudden, Draco broke out into a cold sweat, his eyes rolled back into his head and he started shaking. After a few moments of shock, Ginny grabbed his arms and held him to the bed, so he wouldn't hurt himself. He only shook more. She got on top of him, legs on either side, and forcefully held him to the bed. He was beginning to scare her. As fast as the shaking started, it ended, and it left Malfoy with a confused look on his face.

"What are you doing, Weasley?" He pushed her off of him.

"I was restraining you, you were shaking like mad!" Ginny backed up against the couch.

"No I wasn't!" Draco rebuttled, walking toward her. He grabbed her by her long auburn hair.

"You didn't see anything." he released her and stormed over to his bed. Ginny rubbed her throat and tears escaped from her eyes. She stood and calmly spoke to him.

"What I'm wondering is how someone like you could be somewhat nice to me until I found out who you were. You saved my life, but you obviously knew who I was."

"You will never understand, weasel."

"Make me understand then! Because I'm dying to know what happened to the person that saved my life. What are you hiding?" she stood firm, the tears drying from her cheeks.

"I'm hiding myself." he whispered, almost human again.

"Why?" Ginny asked quietly.

"You are very persistant aren't you?" Draco looked at her intently. She smirked.

"Yes, I am."

Draco closed his eyes for a moment, then scanned the dark room. He looked back at Ginny and then at her chocolate eyes.

"I'm sorry." he said, "This conversation is over." he said flatly, laying down. He closed his eyes and listened for her to lay back down, but she stood for a couple moments just staring at him, maybe trying to understand him. he heard her sigh, and lay down on the couch, mumbling something that he couldn't comprehend.
