Authors Note: This might be the only chapter I update before I leave for me three week vacation, but I shall think some things up while I am away and that way when I get back I shall be able to update sooner. I do hope to see some reviews in my inbox when I come back, because I really don't feel like writing if people aren't giving me any input! Oh well. On we go. So that's it for three weeks. I hope I get some good reviews. TELL ME WHAT U THINK OF THE END of the chapter. Haha.

Chapter Three:

Help from an Enemy

Ginny's eye fluttered open later that night. She noticed the difference in the room, and how different the bed underneath her felt. She turned to see Malfoy lying next to her with an open book on his chest, and his eyes closed in a dreamless sleep.

Ginny watched his chest rise and set, not bothered by the fact that she was lying next to him asleep. The room was getting darker as she watched him sleep, he looked so peaceful, so relaxed, so right.

Her own eyes started to droop shut once more, and just as her eyes shut she could see a pair of grey eyes watching her.

Draco pushed away the fiery red strands that landed in her face, and watched her sleep. Her eyes started to move underneath her eyelids and a small smile spread across her lips. He wished to know what she was dreaming of, but that was impossible.

Draco lay there, for as long as he could remember just memorizing each inch of Ginny's face. He didn't know why, but her beauty stood out among everything ugly he already knew about her.

"How is she?" Blaise asked, when he entered taking Draco out of his train of thoughts.

"She was awake earlier, but I was asleep." Draco answered as he got up and moved across the room.

"I'm surprised she didn't run for the hills." Blaise commented as he laid down next to her like Draco had been.

"What are you doing?" Draco asked him as he walked back towards the bed.

"Trying to see why you where so stuck on staring at her." Blaise answered and Draco pulled him off the bed. "Let her sleep you prick."

"She slept fine when you were staring at her." Blaise answered as he walked over to the couch and dropped down on it.

"Shut your trap Blaise."

"Yes sir, Master Malfoy."

"Draco put that book down!" Pansy yelled as she walked into the room and saw that Draco was ready to hit Blaise with a heavy book.

"Shut up" Draco hissed at her, "You're going to wake her up."

"Seems like our little friend Draco has found himself a little crush." Blaise egged on.

"Shut up Blaise" Pansy hissed at him, and walked over to where Ginny lay asleep. Pansy watched her for a while, and then nudged her. "Hey, wake up."

Ginny's eyes fluttered open to a pair of big blue eyes staring back at her. "Glad to see you up, now get up to eat." Pansy said and fished into her pocket and brought out a sandwich.

"How about you guys explain to me why I am here?" Ginny asked as she got to a sitting position on the bed and held the sandwich in her lap.

"How about you eat and we'll tell you." Pansy said with a forged sweet smile.

"It's rude to eat and talk." Ginny answered and pushed the sandwich away.

"Alright, then you eat while we talk and when your done we'll tell you." Pansy pressed again, and turned her back to her.

"Come on Red, it's only got like what 10 calories." Blaise said with a cocky smile.

"It's not about the calories." Ginny whispered and got out of the bed and headed towards the door. Draco was too quick for her and blocked her way. "What do you think you're doing?" Ginny hissed at him, as her eyes flashed a flicker of red.

"I have permission form the head of house to keep you in here as long as I need to." Draco said with ease.

"What the fuck Malfoy!" Ginny yelled. "I do not need your help; I don't need help at all."

"Have you seen you're self in the mirror?" Draco questioned her.

"Leave me alone Malfoy!" Ginny hissed as she tried to push past him.

"Look at you Ginny, you can't even move me an inch." Draco answered her and she started to cry. Draco looked at Pansy and Blaise for some help, and then Ginny leaned in against him, as her tiny body shook.

"I don't need help" Blaise and Pansy heard Ginny's muffled cry.

Draco picked her up and carried her to his bed. He sat there cradling her in his arms. "You're a Slytherin now, and I wont watch you kill yourself." he whispered loud enough for Pansy and Blaise to hear him.

Pansy looked up at Blaise, and smiled as she linked her arm with his and lead him out of Draco's room.

"Blaise,"

"I know Pansy,"

"But how?"

Blaise pulled Pansy to a stop and looked down at her, "I really don't know, maybe he has been for a long time and we just never noticed." Blaise answered and looked back towards the door. "He was the one who noticed her first."

Draco stayed with Ginny the whole night. She was curled up against him, and the sandwich lay on the ground forgotten for now. He kept her small body warm, and away from the worlds harm. He kept her heartbeat at a steady pace, and watched her smile or frown in her sleep.

And what he already felt for her began to grow stronger, and no matter how much ice there was in the world, it would never put out the fire that he had inside him.
