Draco was sprawled out on his bed, gazing out the window when he heard a crash from down stairs. Normally he would have ignored it, but the sound of Hermione shrieking caught his attention.

"Ron what are you doing here? Is that? Why would you bring him here!" Hermione's voice filled the Zambini mansion.

Draco froze for a second, then hopped of the bed and frantically looked around the room for his wand.

"Hermione you don't understand," Ron began to protest.

"Really Weasley, I think it's pretty clear that Potter is not welcome here," Blaise's firm voice floated through the stone walls.

"No listen, he broke up with Ginny," Ron protested.

Draco froze as he spotted his wand on the floor, and bent to pick it up. Harry broke up with Ginny? Draco scooped up his wand and raced out the door and down the hall coming to a stop at the entrance of the sitting room gasping for breath.

"Why?" Hermione asked unsure as she shot a glance at Blaise.

"Because she's in love with someone else," Harry said dejectedly as he ran his hands through his hair.

"I told you," Ron beamed as he glanced at Hermione and Blaise.

"I love her, but I'm not going to watch her throw her life away trying to be happy with me, when I know she's in love with Malfoy," Harry said sadly.

Draco froze in his spot, no one had noticed him yet, he could leave without being seen. But when Harry spoke there was no venom in his voice as he spat out his surname, there was just heartache.

"Did she tell you that?" Blaise asked, raising an eyebrow as he crossed his arms menacingly.

"She doesn't have to," Harry sighed, as he readjusted his glasses.

"Then how do you know?" Blaise asked.

"Do you think I would show up here if I didn't know?" Harry growled. "She doesn't eat, she sits there and cries herself to sleep, she tries too hard to prove to me that she loves me, she can hardly look at me, she can't stand to touch me. She's falling apart at the seams."

No one said anything, as they let Harry's words sink in.

"And the only one who can sew her back together again is Malfoy," Harry said softly after a few minutes.

"I'm not going to let you go up there and tell my best mate that the love of his love has loved him all this time, and was only pretending to love you," Blaise replied, taking a step closer to Harry. "He's a mess, I'm not going to let you get his hopes up for nothing."

"What would be the point in her pretending to love you Harry?" Hermione asked calmly putting a hand on Blaise's arm, Blaise's expression softened for a moment and he took a step back from Harry.

Draco raised his eyebrow, he'd never seen Blaise give in like that before.

"Because she wanted to protect Draco," a calm voice floated from beside Draco, and Draco whipped around to see Luna Lovegood standing causally beside him, as if she had been standing there the whole time.

"Draco?" Blaise asked as his eyes moved from the wand clutched in his hand to Harry Potter standing in the middle of the room.

"Protect Draco?" Ron asked, as if he knew his girlfriend had been standing in the room the whole time.

"She didn't want Harry to send him to Azkaban, she would do anything to make sure he was safe," Luna nodded as regarded Draco with a sad smile.

"How do you know this?" Ron asked.

"Oh I was the one that suggested it, it was all good fun really," Luna beamed as she crossed the room to slip her hand in Ron's

No one spoke, shocked and unsure of Luna, the one thing they all were beginning to realise is that she held true to the nickname Loony.

"All she had to do was ask, I would have done anything for her," Harry said distraught.

All five pairs of eyes turned to land on Harry.

"Really, you would have let your old school enemy go, so he could live happily ever after with the girl you've loved since your third year?" Hermione said her voice full of sarcasm and doubt.

"Yes-No-I don't know," Harry added shaking his head.

"Let's face it mate, you wouldn't have," Ron said sadly.

"But this proves that Ginny loved Draco," Luna smiled proud that she brought them all to this decision.

And slowly all eyes came to land on Draco.

Draco took a leaf out of Harry's book and ran a hand though his blonde hair nervously.

"Where is she," Draco asked in a steady voice, looking past everyone to Harry.

"She's at our hou-" Harry paused closing his eyes. "She's in my flat; she was in bed when I left her," Harry sighed with his eyes still closed and his head bowed.

Draco didn't waste any time, he didn't think about how anything would play out, or if Ginny was still at Potter's flat. Instead, he crossed the room to the fire, lifted a hand up to the top of the fire place and grabbed a handful of floo powder from the dish and threw it into the fire.

Daco thought looked around the flat, noticing prophets scattered across the table, and a Gryfindor banner hanging over the fire place. It wasn't as big as something a Malfoy would own, but for the average wizard it was still big. Draco walked through the flat slowly looking for Ginny. When Draco found the bedroom where Potter said he left her, Draco paused unsure if he should continue, taking a breath Draco took a step into the room and saw the door to the bathroom was open.

"Ginny?" Draco's voice asked unsure as he walked into the bathroom.

He looked in the direction that the steam and water was coming from and froze.

Ginny was sitting in the tub crying, still fully clothed and soaking wet with her arms wrapped around her small body.

In just a few strides, Draco was by the side of the tub.

"Ginny?" Draco whispered again, softly unsure of her reaction.

Ginny sat there for a few minute before she realised that she was no longer alone in the bathroom, to tired and frustrated as to why there would be someone in the flat Ginny didn't respond at frst. Then realising it might be Harry back to take her back, she quickly looked up to see Draco kneeling beside her.

Ginny's heart stopped beating as she took in Draco beside her. His white dress shirt was slowly getting soaked from the shower, and his soft blonde hair was in wet wisps around his face. He had large purple bags under his eyes, and his face looked paler and more thin then she remembered.

Ginny's brown eyes ran across his face taking him in before her sobs became greater, and she could no longer see through her tears.

"Ginny? Gin what's wrong," Draco said unsure how to comfort her.

"Draco, you have to leave, please." Ginny managed to choke out between tears.

"Harry came and-" Draco

Draco froze in his place, maybe Luna was wrong, and Blaise and Hermione were seeing what they wanted to see. Maybe Ginny did love Harry. Because why would someone as beautiful and perfect as Ginny ever love someone like him?

"Harry?" Ginny's head whipped up and her eyes grew large. "He isn't here is he?" Ginny asked frantic as she tried to stand but fell back down.

And that's when Draco noticed how skinny she was, Ginny had always had a small frame, but nothing compared to the way it was now. Ginny's face was hallow and pale her eyes looked dead and she had purple bags under her eyes that rivalled his own.

"No, he's at Blaise's," Draco answered.

"Why is he there?" Ginny asked trying not to meet Draco's gaze.

"To tell us he broke up with you," Draco said slowly trying not to upset Ginny further. She said nothing when he answered her just nodded her head slowly. After a few minutes she spoke.

"What else did he tell you?" Ginny asked still not looking at Draco.

"He said I was the only one who could sew you back together again," Draco said softly, silently wishing she would look at him. "Then Luna told us about her plan. Ginny I tried living without you, and it was like I was literally ripped apart and couldn't breathe -I wasn't living, I was barely surviving, and there is no way everything can be perfect until I know that-"

"I thought he wouldn't notice," Ginny said softly interrupting him.

"Notice what?" Draco responded.

"I thought he wouldn't notice that I was in love with you," Ginny answered, as she locked gazes with him, finally admitting to him what she had known all along, even if it took her so long to realize it.
