A/N: Okay so I know it has been a little while. Luckily not as long as my last break. The only problem with this break is it was not writers block that kept me from writing but my crazy college schedule. I mean going to Culinary School I love it, but six and a half hours of one class is a crazy schedule. Luckily I am loving every minute of it! So here is the next chapter; I hope it is enjoyed by all. Please review! I just love getting reviews when I get back to my room after class. Sometimes it makes me feel better after a hard day of class.! Thanks! Please enjoy!

BlooDsucKkerR69-Yes he did!

Sometimes your friends can hurt you

Worse than your enemies could

You don't know how strong a person is

Until you see them at their weakest moment

There's always gonna be that one thing

You wish for but never get.

That one mistake you can never take back.

And most of all, that one memory

You would do anything for,

Just to have it again

December 6th

Ginny kept on running until she knew that Harry wasn't behind her anymore. She couldn't believe the boy she use to think as such a loving, caring person who would put anyone before himself as really a selfish prat ho didn't care about anyone but himself. How she made herself believe all of these things bout Harry so many years ago didn't seem like her at all. She was just so happy that she finally saw the person he truly was; a petty man. A man that she was to good for. A man that cared about no one but himself. Not even a man. He is just a boy. He is just a boy who goes around pretending he is a man because of what he does for the Wizarding World. But when you look past the prophecy, the spotlight, and everything else he has been through, he is just a boy who thrives on other people worshiping him. He thinks he is better than Draco; but in reality Draco was ten times better then him. Ginny finally realized the truth; she was finally with the right guy.

She stood in an abandoned hallway, leaning against a pillar, catching her breath. She was almost ready to go when she heard whispers coming from around the corner. The voices, although faint, sounded familiar. She crept closer to the corner, making sure that she could not be seen by the two talking. Actually, now that she was closer, it sounded more like they were having a small argument. This intrigued Ginny even more; especially when she realized who they were.

"Ron you are overreacting."

"Overreacting? How am I overreacting Blaise?"

"Because you don't know the whole story. If you just let me explain…."

"Explain? Explain what?"

"Why I let this happen."

"Okay Blaise, humor me, why did you let it happen?"

"I had to okay. It was for the best. For both of them it was for the best."

"That is not really an answer."

"Yes it is, you just don't accept it." Blaise said, with the hint of a smile in his voice.

"Well how can I accept something that doesn't make sense? How could you even make a bet with Draco Blaise? And how the hell was my sister involved in it?"

"I can't explain all of that right now Ron."

"Why not?"

"Because it's not the right time. You just have to trust me. Don't you trust me Ron?"

"Well of course I do."

"Then trust me when I say this is supposed to happen. Everything that is going on between those two, it is going to be for the best."

"Okay, for now, I will trust you. But Blaise please be careful."

"I will. I hope you aren't still mad at me. I would hate to think I just lost my New Years plans."

"Of course you haven't." He said, kissing Blaise for reassurance, "I would never want to be alone on the New Years; without anyone to kiss at midnight." And at that moment, while Blaise and Ron started to make up with each other, Ginny ran with her broken heart.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard. It had all just been a bet; a game for him to play. Everything he had said had been a lie; the letters, the feelings, the trips, the necklace…oh the necklace. It had been the most beautiful, thoughtful thing anyone had ever given her. It had meant so much to hear when she opened it. It had projected her emotions strongly for so long now. It had been a part of her, showing everyone how happy she finally was. But just like everything else, it was just a ploy and a lie. Her hand tightened around it, tempted to rip it off her neck and throw it against the wall. She could almost imagine it. Watching the beautiful crystal rose sail across the hall and hit the hard brick wall and shatter into a million pieces, like her heart.

But she just couldn't do it. Even though it seemed like the thing to do in the moment, she knew she would regret it after; when she saw the beauty shattered on the floor. It was so precious to her. No matter who gave it to her or for what motives, it was still her most prized possession. She loved it so much; she just couldn't let it go. She released it from her grasp and gently touched it to her neck.

She cried. She cried more than she ever had before. She cried for her broken heart, for Draco, and even for Blaise. She had trusted all three and each one had let her down. She felt the cold cement against her back as she slid down the wall onto the floor. The tears continued to pour out of her eyes. They marked her red cheeks white and tear-stained her white school blouse. The more she tried to control them from coming the harder they flowed. Ginny felt as if she had no control over her body anymore. She just sat there and cried all the tears that her heart was leaking.

Draco had been wondering the hallways for the past twenty minutes. Class had ended over an hour ago and Blaise and seem to of gone missing again. But this time, Draco wasn't going to just leave him alone. He would rip Ron right off of him if that was what he needed to do; it was very important that Draco talk to Blaise today, before the night came.

He was calling off the bet today. Today he would tell Blaise it was over and would not continue. He would give up his room if he had to but he would do anything to get out of this bet. When tonight came, he would get to see Ginny, and it was then that he is planning on telling her the truth. He would tell her about the bet and how his original intentions here not always the best. But he would then start to explain everything. He would tell her about the moment he first realized he was developing something different for her. He would explain how important this is to him. He would explain absolutely everything about her that he had grown so much to depend on.

It was time for her to know the truth about everything; she deserved that if she was willing to be in a relationship with him. He wanted this to work out, and that meant telling her the whole truth and nothing but. He really didn't know what she had done to him, but she made him finally believe that he could have something he wanted and end up actually happy. She gave him the hope of a better future for his life. He hoped it would all work out between them, because without her, he wouldn't be anything; he wouldn't feel, he wouldn't have motivation, he wouldn't have any purpose without her.

He finally found Blaise sitting with Ron in an abandoned hallway; luckily sitting was all they were doing, with a little hand holding mixed in. He walked over to them without any fear of interrupting them, since they probably had plenty of alone time last night.

"Blaise we need to talk. Alone." He glared at Ron. He didn't care that he was his girlfriends brother or his best friend's boyfriend, in his eyes he was still extremely annoying.

"Whatever." Ron answered in a huff, standing up, "I'll see you later Blaise. Draco."

"Always a pleasure Weasley." Draco answered snidely.

"Whats up Draco?"

"I'm out."

"Aww Draco, if only you had realized this a month ago, but I'm kind of already taken." Blaise says with a laugh

"That's not what I meant and you know it. The bet it is off. Take my room make me keep my end of the deal, I don't care. Whatever it takes to get out of this bet I will do, just say that it is done."

"Where is this coming from?"

"From me."

"Well I knew that. I meant what is making this come out now, if at all?"

"I've just don't think it is right to do anymore. I mean, it is just not fair to her."

"Really? That's the only reason. You do not think it is fair?"

"Yes."

"And it has nothing to do with the fact that you are falling for her and don't want something as trivial as a bet to ruin the relationship? Does that happen to play a role in this decision."

"Damn you and knowing me to well."

"Look, Draco, you can have out no strings attached. I promise I will not hold u to your end of the deal."

"Why are you doing that? It doesn't sound like you to let me get away without having to pay up something."

"Cause Draco, this bet was never about winning."

"Oh really, and pray tell what was it really about?"

"It was about you realizing that falling in love is not as hard to do as you thought it was."

"What are you talking about?"

"I am talking about you being so closed to the possibility of falling in love with someone. I could bear to think that you were just gonna continue life never falling in love with someone because you thought it did not exist. Just because your parents have a loveless marriage doesn't mean you are destined for one too. I had to show you some way that it was possible for you to fall in love with someone. And when I heard about you talking that day, I knew she was the girl for you. You talked about her fire, her passion; I had never heard you talk about a girl like that before in my life. Usually you only talk about their looks or how good of a fuck they are. Not once have you ever talked about her personality before looks. I knew I had to get you to go out with her. And I knew the only way you would is if I started bet with you. My hope was that you would fall in love with her. Looks like I was right about that."

Love. That was the last thing Draco thought he would ever feel for a girl. He had grown up in a household believing that marriage was about breeding and not love. He never thought he would ever be capable of actually loving someone, especially Ginny Weasley. But the more he thought about herm the way he felt with her, the way he would do anything for her, it made sense that this was what he truly felt for her. He had done something he had never thought possible for a Malfoy; he had fallen in love. It felt amazing to him. These feeling that use to scare him he now embraced. He welcomed them with open arms allowing them to envelope him completely. This gave him the greatest amount of hope that he would not end up like the rest of the Malfoy men. This made him believe that he was truly different than the rest of his family. He could have real relationships with many people; he could have a best friend, he could have colleagues, and he could even have a love of his life.

"Oh my god, I am in love with her." He whispered to himself.

"I knew this would happen." Blaise replied, "I knew you two were meant to be together. That is why you are getting out of this bet without any obligation to uphold your end. This was always about you and your happiness. You may not be gay, but I still love you man. You're like my brother. I only want to see you have everything you want and deserve.'

"Thank you Blaise," Draco said, embracing Blaise in a hug, "Thank you for everything you have ever done for me."

"No problem. Now go find your girl."
