Author's note: Hey, back again. I feel kind of bad because as I re-read my story I found SO many spelling errors and it wasn't cool. So I'm sorry about those to anyone and everyone who cares...but here's the new chapter I promised...hope you like!

Chapter 15

-------------------

Ginny couldn't seem to concentrate one bit on what she was supposed to be doing, not that it really mattered in History of Magic. But for once she actually wanted to pay attention and get her mind off everything that has happened...and might happen. It didn't help that everyone was staring at her. She actually wanted to blow up at them, but knew she wouldn't.

The bell finally rang, and Ginny was free to leave and go to her next class, which hopefully would be far more promising. She walked out to the greenhouse for herbology, which she had with the Slytherins, and she actually seemed a little thankful for that, because they didn't seem to care much about anyone's abnormalities.

"GINNY!" Someone yelled form behind her. When she turned, she saw Colin running towards her.

"Hey Colin." She said wearily.

"Hey Gin, where were you this morning, I was looking all over for you and I actually missed breakfast!"

"I was" she stopped suddenly, remembering Draco's and her conversation earlier this morning, and their speculations about him, "outside. I went for a walk this morning to clear my head." she replied smoothly. That's not a complete lie she thought. There was walking involved.

The rest of the class went by uneventfully and once again, Ginny couldn't wait for it to be over so she could go up to the common room and have a nice hour of sleep...and she couldn't help but inwardly smile because she knew she would probably be longer. The bell rang and Ginny smiled widely.

"Why are you so happy?" Colin asked curiously.

"Oh nothing...I have to go now, so I'll see you at dinner...or possibly sooner! Okay?" She said eager to snuggle under her covers.

"Um...okay?"

With that she ran off back towards the school, leaving a very confused Colin behind.

It took her about five minutes to get to the common room, which was unsurprisingly empty, then she dashed up the stairs threw her bag onto the floor and was out before her head hit the pillow.

-------------------

Draco had finally gotten out of his Ancient Runes class, and he was feeling so lazy, that he just shrank his bag and put it into his pocket. He slowly made his way to the Great Hall and was soon accompanied by his "friend" Blaise Zabini who was exiting a class of his own.

"Knut for your thought?" He asked.

"Hmpf, you would have to pay me a lot more than a knut for MY thoughts." he replied with a smirk.

"What's eating you?" he asked.

"Well first off, your muggle sayings. You really need to stop reading those books." Draco informed humorously.

"And you need to stop changing the subject!" Blaise exclaimed. "But anyways, did that book help you any?"

"No." He simply stated. But saw the look Blaise was giving him and sighed, but continued. "I haven't had the time, I've been...busy."

"Yeah, so I've noticed. What's up with you and that Weasley girl? What were you two doing at lunch?" He asked suspiciously.

"Oh her? I was just trying to get her to quiet down so I could have my meal in peace...that's about it."

"Uh yeah, sure buddy." He said in a tone that said he did not believe a word Draco had said. "Well I'm sorry, but I have to go, six more inches of transfiguration to write for this afternoon. I might see you in class after lunch!" He said as he turned down a different hall and went in the direction of the library.

Draco smirked and continued his slow way to the Great Hall.

Once he got there, he tried not to, but couldn't help looking around for the red-headed Ginny. She was nowhere in sight. He figured she must be taking a slow time as well. But as he sat down and waited for another few moments, decided to eat a bagel, but even after fifteen minutes she still wasn't there. He started to get a little worried when he saw the Golden-Trio was at the table, and so was that Colin kid, her best friend.

He figured he best look for her. Anything could have happened and right now was a really bad time for something to happen. He walked out of the Hall and his first guess was that she might be outside, he checked and she wasn't. Not even sitting by her favorite tree.

He tried the kitchen. No avail.

The library? Blip.

He was getting a little more worried by the minute. So he actually saw a little, what looked like a second year, quickly coming down the hall towards the Great Hall. He took note of the Gryffindor crest on their chest and stopped them.

If it had been another time, he would have sneered at their frightened expression, but he didn't have time.

"You! What's your name?"

"Ugh...I-it's Jenny...!" She stammered.

"Well...Jenny...I'm looking for someone and they are in your house. I need to get into your common room and check if their there." He said as calmly as he could, but it was evident he was losing patience.

"Ugh...I'm n-not supposed to..." she replied nervously. Draco's gaze darkened and the little girl shrank under it. "I-it's this way!" she said in a high pitched voice, and then took off in the direction she just came from.

Draco almost had a hard time catching up to the little squirt, and was fairly surprised at how fast she could move. But all thoughts like those were removed from his mind when they had arrived at a dead end.

"Don't tell me you're lost! Now we have to backtrack and-

He was cut off by the girl saying something he couldn't quite remember and the portrait on the wall blocking their way opened up and exposed the Gryffindor common room. He couldn't help but be a little shocked at how nice and worm it felt in there, but he got over it in seconds.

"I need you to take me to the sixth year girls' dorm." she quickly complied, knowing it was a command, not a choice.

She led him up a flight of stairs passing a door with each year on it, on each floor. After six floors, the reached their destination and Jenny stepped back.

Draco looked at her, and then knocked on the door. He heard a groan form inside, and opened it to go in. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dim lighting, but when he did, he could make out five four poster beds identical to the ones in his dorm, only scarlet hangings, not ink green. He also noticed one of the beds contained a lumpy shaped form that looked to be a person sleeping.

Draco walked up to them, and knew that it was Ginny by the red hair sticking out from under the blankets. He looked around at the doorway, and noticed the girl was gone. He turned back to the sleeping girl.

He placed a hand lightly on her head, and ran the tips of his fingers down her red hair. "Ginny?" He said lightly, while giving her shoulder a little shake.

At first he didn't get a response, but he did it again and that merited an annoyed groan from her.

"Draco Malfoy! Can you not see that I am sleeping?" Then there was a moment of silence and, she sat straight up, wide eyes and looked at him scandalously. "MALFOY? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" she yelled, pulling the blanket around her chest. Then she looked down and remembered she was still wearing her clothes.

"I was looking for you." He said, obviously relieved that she hadn't been abducted or killed or something completely unlikely like that. And when he actually thought about his momentary panic about her disappearance, he felt a little ashamed.

"Well you found me!" She tried to be angry, but couldn't help feel something inside her when she saw he had been worried and had come to look for her. She was actually trying to place the feeling, she knew it wasn't bad, and she knew she liked it and that she had felt it before somewhere, but she couldn't place that! She decided to leave it, and come to present matters. "So, why were you looking for me?" she asked more softly.

"Well, first I wanted to talk to you again, you and I should meet tonight...late tonight...We really have to practice our "gifts". I know a place where we can go, my mother told me about it from her school years...It would be perfect." he explained.

"Yeah, we HAVE to start. I frankly don't want to have to relive that moment permanently." She said while shuddering at the memory. Then Draco put his hand onto of hers in a comforting manner. It seemed to have given them both a shock, but they both got over it, and couldn't help but give a small smile each. Then Ginny gave an immense yawn, ruining the moment. Draco chuckled at her, and she thought it sounded much better then his sarcastic laugh.

"Well I'm tired and I can keep my eyes open much longer so I am going to sleep." she said lightly.

"Oh I know how you feel. I would get to sleep, but I cant." he informed.

"Why not?"

"Well the fact my bed is twenty minutes away, and class starts in fifteen..."

"Pfft, screw class!" she said with an evilly humorous smirk.

"You are and evil child, you know that?"

"Meh, so they tell me! Plus you could just nap here!" He gave her an odd look. "What? It's not like we're going to DO anything, and plus, no one should be coming up here!"

"You are crazy."

"Get your arse in this bed and nap young man!...before I fall asleep!" He let out another small laugh and slid under the blankets. It took a few moments for them to arrange themselves to fit, but after a bit they finally settle in. They were both lying side to side, and Ginny's head somehow found its way onto his shoulder. Neither of them seemed to mind.

"See you in a few, Draco..." She said, by the time she was done, she had drifted off into one of the most peaceful sleeps she had had in a while.

Draco smiled and whispered a quite, almost unintelligible "of course..." before he too was off into a peace filled sleep.
