Ginny drifted back into consciousness, feeling a throbbing headache coming on immediately. Her eyes felt heavy and she didn't want to wake up, but unfortunately, her stubborn headache would not let her. She reluctantly opened her eyes, feeling like she was waking up from some nightmare. Dumbledore's office flashed in her mind and her recollections rushed back to her, drowning her mind in despair, confusion, and hopelessness. Not even the bright sun shining outside could cheer her up as she now felt plagued in depression. She slowly sat, pressing a hand to the back of her and wincing a bit, another bitter reminder of that day. Ginny let her thoughts wander to possible solutions as she stood up to get dressed. Reaching her armoire, she pulled out a simple black turtleneck and black suede pants, her color scheme matching her mood entirely. She slowly made her way downstairs, seeing Madison and Pansy standing up from the table and gathering their school things.

"Hey guys," she said weakly. Pansy and Madison both whipped around and flew to her, embracing her in a bone-crushing hug that made Ginny wince.

"You're finally back!" Madison squealed.

"We missed you so much, Gin!" Pansy screeched.

"We would so love to stay and chat, but we have to go to class," Madison said with a distasteful expression, but she perked up again. Pansy nodded.

"But you stay here and take it easy alright? And Draco is going to stop by. He'll be so happy to see you!"

Ginny stepped back extremely confused. "What do you...?"

But Madison and Pansy both her best friends completely oblivious to Ginny's confusion, cut her off by heading towards the portrait hole.

"Sorry Gin, have to go," Pansy said with a sad wave as she opened the hole. "But relax! First day out, and you should be resting!"

Ginny's eyes widened. "First day..."

"Bye Gin!" Madison yelled with a wave as they both disappeared. Ginny walked slowly to the couch, sinking into it. First day back? Then it dawned on her. They don't know. She took in a shaky breath. This was getting to be a little too much. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Maybe it wasn't as bad as she thought it was. Or maybe it is. God, Ginny... You were poisoned... She took another deep breath, trying to calm down a bit. At the moment, she was too overwhelmed to think of anything else. But she opened her eyes and frowned a bit as she heard voices outside arguing. She slowly stood up, walking closer to her portrait hole, finally smiling when she recognized them. The more distinct one was Draco, and from the sound of it, he and the painting, one of a handsome knight, were fighting about whether Draco should be allowed. Ginny rolled her eyes. Draco would get no where; the knight favored only women, and was flirting with Ginny, Pansy, and Madison constantly. Ginny stepped closer to the portrait, listening in silent amusement to the conversation.

"I need to get in," she heard Draco say impatiently.

"The ladies do not need be disturbed with your antics man," Henry, the knight, answered. "Go on back now."

"But I'm Head Boy!" Draco said importantly.

"You're badge is most likely fake," Henry said in his thick English accent. Ginny grinned and pulled it open to reveal a very angry looking Draco. But his anger immediately melted into a loving smile when he saw Ginny.

"Thank you Henry," Ginny said softly, giving the portrait a faint smile before setting her sights on Draco again. Draco walked up to her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Hey Gin," he said, giving the portrait once last glare, which was returned, and walking Ginny inside. She immediately claimed the couch again. Taking her previously occupied seat, she patted the couch pillows next to her and Draco sat down. She sighed and leaned back against him.

"I'm glad you're here Draco," she said with a weak smile, glancing up lovingly at him. His silver eyes gazed back.

"You look better Gin," he said, giving her a sweet kiss on the forehead. She let out a deep sigh.

"Really? Because I feel like shit," she said truthfully. Draco smirked.

"Not possible," he said, slipping his hand into hers. But his smirk melted a bit as he thought of last night again. "How are you doing?"

"I don't know Draco... There is so much to think about. Who would do that? And why?" She asked, snuggling deeper into his firm chest (A/N: Bad timing, but drool.....).

"I couldn't guess, Gin," he said with a sigh. Suddenly, the fireplace popped causing, Ginny to jump and Draco to instinctively wrap his arms around her. Out stepped Professor Dumbledore, his robes sweeping majestically around him as usual. He spotted Ginny and Draco and put on an apologetic look.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," he said, his blue eyes clouded.

"Oh no, no, it's...alright," Ginny said, still breathing heavily. She motioned towards the chair. "Take a seat Professor."

Dumbledore nodded his tanks and took the proffered seat. Ginny sat up out of Draco's arms, glancing quickly at him and looking back over to the Headmaster. Draco, however had his gaze directed toward the headmaster, a slight glare poorly hidden.

Professor Dumbledore shifted in his seat. He could feel Draco's gaze and it made him feel uncomfortable. The boy would have to know. But he shook out his thoughts and turned to the couple again.

"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Weasley," he said, with a warm smile that faltered a bit when he met Draco's icy look. He looked over at Ginny. "You look quite a bit better, Ginny."

She smiled weakly, "That's what I keep hearing, but I don't believe it..."

He nodded with an amused smile. He looked over at his two students, trying to figure out how best to word what he was going to say.

"Have you found out anything new Professor?" Ginny asked, sitting forward a bit.

"I'm sorry," he said lied softly. "We know nothing more."

At this point, Draco was positively staring daggers at the headmaster. Ginny glanced over at Draco and was surprised and confused to see this open hostility.

"Right then," Dumbledore said, giving Ginny a small smile. "Alright I'll just spit it out then..."

Ginny and Draco waited anxiously, wondering what news he could possibly bring. Ginny waited most anxiously. She only hoped it was good news; she couldn't take any more bad news today. But from the way the Headmaster looked.

"The staff and I have spoken and we agreed that it would be better if you both stayed in the same rooms," he said finally. Ginny raised an eyebrow curiously. Well, this wasn't bad news. Draco looked very pleased as well. He looked over at Ginny, a very amused smirk planted on his handsome features. Professor Dumbledore looked over at his two students.

"I assume you wouldn't mind sharing your rooms, Mr. Malfoy?" He asked, a twinkle returning in his eye.

"Not at all," he answered with another signature smirk. Ginny rolled her eyes as quite a bit of color stained her cheeks. Professor Dumbledore pretended not to notice.

"I didn't think so," the headmaster said. He suddenly raised a finger as a thought came to him. "Ah, Madame Pomfrey asked me to give this to you."

Ginny let out an exasperated sigh as soon as she heard those words. That could only mean... Potion. Professor Dumbledore handed over the vial. Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Yes you have to," Draco answered before Ginny could ask. Ginny grabbed the vial and looked down into it, seeing its color was purple.

"A sleeping potion?" She complained. Professor Dumbledore just nodded.

"It's her orders," he said simply. Ginny sighed loudly and downed the vial, her eyes slitting in disgust as she handed the vial back. Immediately, Ginny felt sleepy and her eyelids drooped. In a few seconds, she was sound asleep. Draco smiled and banished the vial, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Good girl."

He smiled fondly at her sleeping form for a second longer, before turning back to the Professor. His expression changed from one of loving to an ice cold mask.

"Was there anything you needed Professor?" He asked icily. Professor Dumbledore sighed. It was now or never.

"Draco, could you please accompany me to my office for a moment?" He asked, his blue eyes gazing into Draco's silver ones.

"Is it necessary?" Draco asked indignantly, only taking his gaze away to motion with his eyes the sleeping form of Ginny.

"She'll be fine," the headmaster said. "And I really think you'll want to come."

Draco looked intently into his professor's eyes, studying him. "Fine, if it is important."

"Thank you," Dumbledore said sincerely. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a bag of Floo Powder and stepping up to the roaring fire and throwing in a pinch, causing the fire to turn green. He stepped inside and Draco followed in. "Headmaster's office."

In a rush of fire and a rather unpleasant lurch, they arrived at the Headmaster's office. Draco stepped out, dusting invisible dirt off his designer robes. Dumbledore walked over to his desk, taking a seat in his rightful spot. Draco took the seat across from him, waiting impatiently. This was where he'd least like to be.

"I understand you'd rather be elsewhere," the headmaster said, seemingly reading his mind. "But I feel this may be of interest to you."

"Really..." He drawled aristocratically.

"I haven't been completely honest with you or Ms. Weasley, Draco," Dumbledore said softly. Draco's head immediately shot up.

"Are you going to tell me the truth Headmaster?" Draco asked keenly, itching to know. He nodded his head.

"Now please, allow me to tell what I need to tell with no interruptions. Questions later. I'm sure there will be many but it will make better sense if we do it my way. Agreed?" The Headmaster asked. Draco simply nodded.

"On the evening before this school year began, Professor Trelawney and I were getting ready of course for this year. Now I know you and many others believe Professor Trelawney is a fake. Quite honestly, she can be at times. I know that. But Draco, she does have true Seer moments. And that night was one of them. That night, she made a prophecy Draco. About you and Ginny."

Draco's eyes widened a bit. Professor Dumbledore looked over at one of his favorite student's. "Would you like to hear it?"

Draco nodded. The Headmaster pulled out his Pensive, setting it on the top of the desk. He pulled out his wand and swirled it in the basin until a figure of Professor Trelawney rose from the silvery substance. Draco waited anxiously and just as soon as she appeared, she began in her raspy voice:

The Dark Lord plots his final plan

But now the plan has changed

The Boy-Who-Lived is needed

But more, the two arranged

Not only now the Boy-Who-Lived

But two more innocents as well

One of ice and one of fire

Are needed to excel

The one of ice has family ties

Though he chose not to follow

The footsteps set up by his father

The man described as hollow

The figure melted back into the Pensive and the Headmaster took it down from his desk. Draco sat in confused and shocked silence.

"What does this mean?" He asked.

"From what it looks like, it seems as if Voldemort is after the two of you," Professor Dumbledore said slowly and softly. Draco sunk back in his chair.

"Why?"

"We don't know," the Headmaster said.

"Truly," he reassured when Draco looked up at him. "But we do know that there is another half of the Prophecy that has not been heard."

"You and Ginny are in grave danger, I know that much," Albus said remorsefully. The two sat in silence for a few moments before Draco spoke up.

"Ginny can't know," he said finally. Albus looked up.

"I agree. We agree. Professor Snape is the only other staff member who knows. He can be trusted. But Ginny can't know. It would ruin her life. But that is why you are there Draco. Watch over yourself and her, Draco. Because now, there are others watching you too."
