I don't own Harry Potter... If I did it would not be as interesting... Please enjoy, review, and have a good day
Ch 6
Draco was walking through the halls, the crazy nurse finally let him out. It drove him nuts how she was on about 'Miss Weasley this' and 'Miss Weasley that', It wasn't bad enough that she took over his dreams, but he had to hear about her while he was awake to. She shouldn't be in your .. Oh forget it you know she's in their to stay…err.. I can't believe I kissed her, or that she kissed me back… I got to touch that silky hair.
He stopped. There in front of him stood the idol of his thoughts. They both new that an insult should be flying but neither of them could blame the other for having their father's last name. How can I cut down the family that made her, well her?
Quickly and as if they planned it, at the same time they both ran and fled. Ginny stopped next to a painting of a young woman with a child on her lap. She sank to the floor trying to get her breathing under control. Why him? Mom says you can't help who you fall in love with, but I am… WAIT! LOVE, no not that, um that just a saying - yeah a saying. Still Malfoy's are probably the exception. I can see it now.. 'Generva you can't help who you fall for as long as it is not a Malfoy".

Draco didn't stop running till he reached his room. He was in pain but that didn't matter to him, he was thinking of her. He's never been afraid before, he never ran before. This girl was making him feel things he never thought he'd feel and it was scaring him. I wonder if her opinion of me has changed at all. Draco gracefully dropped unto his bed ashamed that he cared at all what some one else thought of him. He knew he wanted this but still, it was hard to change your feelings.

Ginny, Ron and Hermione all sat in front of the fire in the common room. Ginny and Ron looked up when they heard Hermione's book fall to the floor. The girl stood up and whispered one word, "Harry". She bolted over to the dark haired boy who stood by the entrance and flung her arms around him. There in front of everyone Harry kissed the girl he loved, letting out years and years of built up passion.
Ginny turned to look at her slack jawed brother. "Are you ok, about them?"
He looked at her with hundreds of emotions in his eyes. "I just don't want to lose them.." he whispered.
"I don't think you will.. They both love you… don't forget that."
She encouraged her brother, hopping the three would stay as close as ever.
They both turned to look at the now public couple who just finished whispering 'I love you ' to each other. Harry caught Ron's eyes, and leapt to his best friend.
Hugging the smaller boy her brother cried out how he missed him. Harry reassured him that he was still his best mate even with him and Hermione dating. A lot of people said it was because of those three weeks where Ron thought Harry was dead but Ron took the news of his friends with more grace then anyone expected. Next Harry came to Ginny and engulfed her into a bone crushing hug. In her ear he whispered his thanks at keeping his and Hermione's secret while he was 'dead'.
The trio started reminiscing and Ginny excused her self to go think and provide her friends with some needed privacy. Considering she kicked out most of the people ( after like 15 minutes of questions were answered) out of the common room with her.
Ginny proceeded to walk towards the emptier side of the castle as her thoughts guided her away. She couldn't help but be envious of what Harry and Hermione had. No she didn't want Harry at all, but she wanted a guy to look at her the way her looked at Hermione, if she was honest she wanted a certain guy to see her that way.

Draco woke from his quick, not restful at all, nap. He opened the window and let in the poor owl that had been pecking at it for the last 3 minutes. He noticed the writing and sighed right away. It was from his mother - that means she's still alive.
Draco,
Your father told me you were at the war. He is upset at how you fought but he wont kill his own heir for that, at least I hope. He is truly upset right now but will calm down soon - he is happy you provided him with a way out of falling with He- who- must- not- be- named. He wants you home for Christmas and I can't wait to see you sweetheart. I am proud of you - you've turned into an amazing man. Enjoy the sweets.
Love
Mother
It was short and semi impersonal but his mother always made him feel loved. His father always claimed love was weakness so she, just like he did, put on a mask to please Lucius. But when It was just him and his mother she loved him, with all she could.

Draco finished thinking and stuffed the letter into his pocket. He decided to stretch his legs and took a short walk to his favorite abandoned classroom. The one he never took anyone to, this is where the slytherin prince became Draco. Where he was able to breath, relax, explore the dreams he always wanted to have but never could.
He sat there thinking watching the sun set - wishing he could just continuously relive the moment in the hospital wing. The second where he had her soft lips on his, where he wasn't' a malfoy. Deciding to head back to bed so he could attend classes refreshed the next day he headed towards the door.

Ginny noticed that her walk took her to an abandoned class room. This was perfect, she needed a place like this where she could think and sort out feelings she never excepted having. If there was a way to make something work, if he wanted something too, If I wanted something too, would I take it.

But as he headed to the door of the classroom it opened on its own. Again there stood his thoughts.
"Oh" her voice was higher than normal. "I'll just go" she turned t leave
"Wait" darn his voice for not being stronger. She came back into the dimly light room, shut the door and waited for him to continue. "Um.. Well I wanted to say.. Um ..thanK" He didn't realize that as he stumbled with the words he was moving closer to her.
"Ur welcomed" she whispered causing him to wonder how he could feel her breath. She slowly stood up straighter and pressed his lips lightly to his.
They froze like this the tips of their lips the only thing touching. She was about to pull away when he regained ability to act and pressed his lips harder against hers.
He broke away from her to whisper his question "this isn't a dream, right?"
She was thankful the dim lighting hid her blush as she remembered the dream she had. "No, but what are we doing?" they were both talking only slightly louder then a whisper afraid to disturb the moment and make it run away.
"I'm not sure but.. I don't want to end it." he ran his fingers over her cheek as he brought her in for one more kiss. He added more passion to this one, lacing his fingers through her hair holding the back of her head so she could not run. His other hand went to the small of her back begging her not to vanish.
Ginny crept her arms up around his neck, she needed to feel him, to know she would not wake up in her dorm, saddened that it was only a dream, could only ever be a dream. At that thought she realized who she was snogging in the abandoned classroom. Slowly and softly she moved her hands palm flat against his chest and slowly pushed.
Being the guy he is he took this the wrong way and assumed rejection. "Oh, Merlin.. I um… bloody…"
Not wanting him to think the wrong thing, Ginny quickly pecked him on the lips silencing him completely. "No, I liked.. Well I enjoyed ..." she whispered again turning the famous red her family was known for.
Stepping back from him so she could think clearly she breathed in and out, regaling her composer.

It was better then in any dream he had of her. He couldn't believe they were just kissing. Her innocence and unsure ness was such a turn on for him. He never thought it would be but she was so precious. Your not good enough for her … you will taint her with the blood that is and will be on your hands His mind jeered at him, it scared him to think that it was right. His father was wrong all along it isn't that a weasley isn't good enough for a malfoy, it was he, a malfoy was not good enough for a weasley.
Her soft voice broke him form his circular thoughts.
"What about our friends and our family?… your dad?" she wanted this to happen but was worried it wouldn't.
"Um.." he was now glad he wasn't holding her, holding her would impair his judgment.
"We would have to do this secretly" she hoped she didn't sound desperate.
He smiled at her slytherin qualities.
"Ok. I think we might be able to do that.. No one is allowed to touch you though. .." he knew he was being overly possessive at such an early time but he couldn't help it that was him. "We have to still act like nothing is between us in the hallway, my father would.. . Well he won't approve." He fidgeted, not use to spilling this much at one time.
She came to his rescue, grabbing his large hand in her two small ones she looked up at him. "So we will pretend to fight if we have to, wont tell a soul.. I have one thing though, just like you don't want guys around me … I am serious about this - there can't be any other girls. Not even for show, if you want to try this (she raised their joined hands) try to see what in the world 'this' is, then I want your whole attention" She finished locking her warm eyes on his colder ones. She could see the specks of blue that she never thought existed before.
This stung a little, he hated that she would think he would do that to her. He didn't know how in such a little time she became the most important thing to him. "I wouldn't do that to you."
She was shocked by the emotion she heard in his voice, "ok" she hugged him to her for a few minutes relaxing into his strong frame.
"I should go… Ron will be looking for me."
"He rested his lips on her forehead not wanting to risk pushing her to far, he knew she was innocent in this new area. "Good night, know I don't mean anything that is said out of private"
She turned and walked from the door, "same here" and with that she left.
Both of them went to sleep that night trying to handle the feelings they both felt they were falling into.
It was at an early hour of the morning that Ginny woke, she couldn't believe how stupid she was. She didn't even ask him if he was going to become his father one day, did he still hate muggle borns? How committed was/is he to the light?. This just got complicated, she went to go shower, she knew she would have to have an unpleasant conversation with him that day.
