Chapter 3

Silent Dreamer.

Ginny tossed and turned.

She was running down the hall she wasn't alone…she was still wearing the green dress. Someone was pulling her wrist she looked up and noticed it was a guy pulling her forward. "PLEASE Gin! Run faster!" He whispered desperately. Ginny tried to find out who it was they were hidden behind a black hooded cloak. 'Harry?' She looked around them they were in the castle she recognized some of the paintings. "Please Gin!"

"MALFOY!" an echo reached them Draco turned around revealing his face, fear was etched into it. Not fear sheer terror. He stopped and bent down to her grabbing her shoulders he shook her lightly.

"Ginny you have to run!" He then kissed her passionately and pushed her to go ahead of them. She held his hand holding it desperately. "GO!" she nodded and started running until a familiar curse flooded the halls "AVADA KADEVRA!" and behind her a there was a flash of green she spun around hearing a deafening scream.

"DRACO!!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"HUH WHAT?!"

"Ginny?!"

"OMG WHAT HAPPENED" Ginny gasped for air as her friends popped out of their beds and looked at her.

"Ginny?" Lavender asked cautiously from her bed next to Ginny. "Are you ok?"

"Yea… sorry guys bad dream." Ginny confessed. Trying to reassure them, two girls shrugged and went back to sleep.

"Bad dream…?" Lavender raised and eyebrow swiftly. "Ginny? Draco Malfoy?"

"Yea he was…attacking me!"

"Mhmm and yet you screamed desperately at him with his first name?"

"Lavender just drop it, it was a bad dream!" Ginny scoffed and lay back down.

"Alright…." Ginny waited till she thought Lavender was asleep until she could rest again.

Draco rubbed his eyes. Tired out of his mind his night had been terrible Damn Weasley was in his dream again. Blaise had nearly hexed him when he screamed in the night. Walking to breakfast he yawned leisurely. Once sitting at his table he thought of how he could get these damn dreams to stop.

Ginny slipped out of the common room. Not wanting anymore publicity from the night before slapping Malfoy then shouting his name out in the night. Ron had been so pleased with her he had given her his last chocolate frog. Harry laughed and gave her a pat on the back. Hermione tried to conceal a laugh as she scolded Ginny. Smirking Ginny walked into the Great hall …Her good mood immediately changed when she noticed Malfoy was one of the 5 people up for breakfast at this hour. Groaning she sat down facing away from him then promptly started filling her plate with food. It wasn't long before she noticed that same feeling of being watched. Except this time she didn't turn around. She looked down at her food. 'Don't turn around' she repeated again and again.

Draco looked over and noticed that Weasley had just sat down. Smirking he watched her pause as if she knew he was watching then continue to eat…ignoring him. Draco laughed silently to himself then returned to his own food.

After a little while Weasley's friends arrived along with dozens of other students. And it wasn't long before she got up and waved good bye to them and started heading for the doors. Draco watched her and almost missed her quick glance in his direction. He smirked again and decided it was time he left as well. He stepped out from the bench and slyly followed Weasley out the door as not to be noticed, Though he failed.

Lavender looked over just to watch him slip out the door after Ginny, her fork stopped in mid air. "Lav?" Colin asked as he looked towards the door.

"Should we follow Malfoy?"

"Why?"

"Cause he just followed after Ginny?" they both paused looked at each other and got up simultaneously. Dashing for the door they hurried after Ginny and Draco.

Ginny roamed the corridors. It was still a while till her first class and she really didn't want to go back to the common room just to be hit with more questions about her daring slap fest. She turned the corner and continued down another hallway until she reached a bay window with a ledge. She sighed and looked out across the grounds. The sun was shining brightly, the lawn was deep green. Ginny lifted herself onto the ledge and pulled her knees to her chest and gazed out until she slowly nodded off.

Draco walked around. He was sure she went this way. Looking around he saw or heard no one. He sighed and walked on until he walked by a window and something caught his eye. Turning he saw Ginny Weasley her head lulled to the side against the window, one arm hanging and the other one tucked between her legs and chest. Smiling, he couldn't help but think about how innocent she looked.

Lavender and Colin raced down the hallways completely baffled as to were Malfoy and Ginny could have gone off to so fast. "Quick this way!" Lavender whispered loudly. Suddenly she stopped and Colin crashed into her.

"Ow! Lavender!"

"SHHH" she quickly covered his mouth and pulled him away from the corner of the hallway.

"What?"

"Shhh" she whispered again and pointed down the hallway. Colin shook his head at her then glanced around the corner. Draco Malfoy had his back turned to them he was facing Ginny who appeared to be asleep. Lavender cocked her head sideways and looked at Colin who glanced back confused…should they run over there and save her …or was he not gunna do anything? They paused then turned back to the scene. Draco leaned forward and seemed to brush her hair out of her face. He looked down at her for a long moment…as if trying to figure out what he should do.

Ginny felt a warm hand on her face. As her eyes fluttered open shock and terror Draco Malfoy immediately released her and took 3 giant steps back. "WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!"

"NOTHING!"

"DIDN'T SEEM LIKE NOTHING"

"IT WAS I SWARE!"

Ginny got up "Stay away from me Malfoy." She glared.

Draco looked at her trying to come up with a good come back but it escaped him. He mearly Glared back and watched as she stormed off down the hall.

Lavender watched shocked. "Did you see that?" she whispered as Draco watched her run off then run his hand threw his blonde hair.

"Yea I saw it …I don't believe it…but I saw it!" They looked at each other then they decided it would be wiser to run then get caught by Malfoy or Ginny!

Ginny stormed off to the common room. 'What was he doing??!? Merlin he's up to something probably put a curse on me that wont take effect till later….but his hand was so warm and gentle…'

'Doesn't change the fact that it was MALFOY touching you while you were sleeping!" her conscious to her. She quickly gathered her things together and headed to class. Lavender and Colin were a little late in meeting her. She waited for them, they came running into the common room gasping for air.

"What happened?!" Ginny asked.

"Nothing we ..uh …" Lavender looked at colin.

"Well…we decided to race….and I TOTALLY WON!" he shouted and laughed. Lavender scowled at him as he celebrated his victory. Ginny shook her head.

"Well common we'll be late for class!" Lavender nodded and then grabbed Colin and headed up the stairs.

Ginny looked out the window. 'What a strange day!'
