Ginny pulled her trunk back down the stairs and gave the password and let out a gasp of amazement as she looked at the magnificent room. She went up to her dormitory to put her things away and then came back down the stairs.
She looked out the window and saw Hedwig, she went and found a note from Harry; "meet me outside your common room now" She hurried out and found him waiting for her.
"Miss me already?" She walked over and he swept her up kissing her as he went. She smiled and said: "I always knew there was a reason why I like when you pick me up". He smiled but it quickly faded.
He took her hands and said: "Ginny I really care about you, truly I do but over the summer I've received threats and I don't want you to get hurt. I can't be with you anymore."
He trailed off as he wiped his eyes on his sleeve. She nodded and sniffed her nose as she bid him good bye and returned to her common room.
Draco looked up from his schedule and saw her face glazed with tears…and she was shivering.
She'll get over it he thought to him self. The Weasley girl doesn't need me. But suddenly a small voice in the back of his head said: "help the poor girl in need; you'll have to for the project sometime or another"
Malfoy grimaced and began to walk towards her.
Ginny looked up and couldn't even give him a dirty look. But then his hand mechanically patted her on the shoulder. She was about to jerk away when she felt how warm his hand was.
She smiled and he asked very quietly: "Are you okay umm…" She almost smiled: "Ginny" she filled in, "And yes I am thanks for asking." Draco breathed a sigh of a relief; he thought he was actually going to have to "help her".
He began to walk away when he realized that she was sobbing uncontrollably. He walked over putting his arm around her waist and guided her over to the couch.
Before he knew it she was sobbing into his shoulder. So finally he said: "Why are you crying Ginny?"
So she looked up into those big gray eyes and said: "Well at first it was because of Harry, but now I realize that isn't why I was crying…" Draco looked at her confused.
So then she said: "I was crying because I'm worried, about well my brothers are going to be fighting Voldemort, Harry getting hurt, and well me…getting hurt."
And again he didn't know why he said it but: "I promise you won't be hurt while you're with me…"
