Chapter 3

"Cherry! You have an owl!" Ginny heard Draco yell from their Common Room as she stepped out of her shower. She laughed and shook her head, she would never understand where he came up with the name Cherry. Heck, she didn't even know why she called him Sunshine, it just popped into her head and fit him perfectly. It was almost scary. In fact it was very scary.

Scary because you know he's your Sunshine! You know you Crushin'

'Oh, Gods!' Ginny groaned, the little voices in her head were back to haunt her once again.

You are my Sunshine, My only Sunshine, You make me Happy, Your eyes are Gray!

'I thought I got rid of you?'

Nope we just went on a little vacation! Bora Bora is the BEST!

Ginny groaned again and quickly threw on her ducky pajamas. Haphazardly tossing her thick auburn hair up in a ponytail, she opened her door to see who her owl was from. Draco was setting on the couch by the fire in only plaid pajama pants.

'Wow.'

See told ya you liked him. And look at those muscles, no wonder every girl in Hogwarts wants him!

'Oh, shut up! You know for a fact I still love Harry!'

She saw the black owl setting on her desk in the corner, chirping happily to Ginny's owl, Arrow. Both owls hooted happily when they saw her and landed on opposite shoulders.

"Well, hi there Flame, Arrow. Happy to see me are ya?" They both hooted simultaneously. She took the letter from Flame and he gently nipped her ear and flew out the window. Ginny opened the letter quickly, knowing it would be interesting.

Ginny,

Hey! What's up, girl? There's nothing much going on over here 'cross the Atlantic. I wish you could have come and stayed with me this summer, but with you becoming a star and all I guess you just don't have time for me anymore. Poor me. I feel so neglected. Sniff sniff.
Anyways, You're rooming with a GUY? A famous, very rich, very hot, very edible one? AHHHHH! How lucky can a girl get? I have to meet him! What did you say his name was anyway? Draco? Weird, cute, but weird. Some hints, ice has many purposes, whip cream tastes good no matter where you eat it from, as does chocolate syrup, and condoms are available in many different flavors. Strawberry is the best...don't ask me how I know that.
Oh yeah, Guess what? I'M COMING TO HOGWARTS THIS YEAR! Oh yeah! Look out Hogwarts, Tara is on her way. Do you think they'll be scared of a crazy, insane, very sexy American? I hope so! It'll be fun. You and I will wreak terror worse than two Slytherins. Maybe I'll find some new guys to torture? Think so?

Love Ya,

Tara

Ginny laughed. Tara could be the craziest person on earth at times. Ginny knew only too well how crazy she was on caffeine and sugar, not to mention any type of alcohol! She was coming to Hogwarts! Yeah, everyone had better be scared. Her and Tara would wreak havoc through the year! Tara would probably be a Slytherin, she was so sneaky and sly! She even brought out the trickster in Ginny! But, Ginny hoped she wasn't a Slytherin, she didn't want her to get caught up in all the darkness.

Suddenly the letter was pulled from her hands. Ginny turned around to see Draco quickly reading it, as he finished, he started laughing his butt off. He fell down on the couch, unable to stop laughing.

"You... think... I'm... edible?" He said between laughs.

"No, Tara said that because I sent her a picture of you with my last letter." She yanked the letter out of his hands getting very angry with him. "You shouldn't even have read the letter, it's my personal business, so butt out." She ran into her room and slammed the door. Draco immediately stopped laughing and went and knocked on her door.

"Ginny, I'm sorry." Draco said, wondering if he had ever said those words before in his life. "I just thought you wouldn't mind if I read it. "Ginny opened the door, her face still red with anger and embarrassment.

"Do you promise you'll never do it again?" Ginny asked.

"I promise," Draco said and she smiled up at him. She had a smile that could make anyone's day brighter. "But you do have to admit, being edible is funny." And they both burst out in laughter.

"Cherry, where are you going during our break?" Draco asked as their laughter died down. "I'm staying here, I don't feel like going home, too many people to talk about how famous and grown up I am. It's a little scary. I rather like the peace and quite of Hogwarts.".

"Would you like to spend the week with me and my family? At White Manor? It's peaceful and quiet too."

'OMG, did he just ask me to go home with him?' Ginny asked herself silently.

Yep! And you know you want to! Say yes!

'But I'm not sure, I don't know if his family will like me, or if I'll like them. And what would Harry say?'

Oh shut up and say yes already!

"Peace and quiet? With you around? Is that even possible? But no matter. Yes, Sunshine. I'd love to spend the week with you."

Saturday morning, Draco and Ginny sat at the train station in Hogsmeade waiting for the train to pick them up. Ginny was very nervous about meeting Draco's family, lbut if they were like Draco she had nothing to worry about. She looked over at him setting on the bench beside her. She never knew how he could set there looking so prim and proper and patient when she knew he was none of those things, he was the exact opposite. Finally he noticed her staring at him.

"What?" He asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Nothing," she replied trying to suppress her giggles.

"What's so funny?" He asked, shaking his head and then looking around. He looked back at her shaking her head, still giggling slightly. "Well, since you won't tell me, I guess I'll have to tickle it out of you."

"Ahh, no, no tickling!"

She squealed and ran from his grasp toward the newly arrived train.

"Cherry, Cherry?" Draco nudged the sleeping redhead beside him. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "It's time to get off. You think you can walk or do I need to carry you?" Draco said sarcastically. Ginny hit him lightly before getting up to get her trunk and follow Draco off the train. Immediately a little girl no older than six jumped on top of Draco, causing a domino effect. He laughed as he pulled the little girl off of him and stood up.

"Are you okay?" He asked, helping Ginny up.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered, brushing off her robes. Draco grinned at her and picked up the little girl swinging her around.

"Sydney, this is Ginny. Ginny, this is my little annoying sister, Sydney." The little girl, still in his arms, hit him upside the head and giggled.

"Drakie, I am not annoying. You're annoying! Don't you think so Ginny?" Ginny laughed Sydney and nodded her head.

"Yes, Draco is very annoying." She agreed.

"See, Drakie, even your girlfriend agrees with me!"

"My girlfriend? She not my..." But Sydney had already jumped out of his arms and bounded over to her mum. Narcissa Malfoy reached her hand out to Ginny.

"It's so nice to meet you. I'm glad Draco is finally inviting some of his friends over." Draco rolled his eyes as his mum turned around and lead the way off the platform.

White Manor was huge. Ginny had only been there a few hours and had gotten lost four times. Draco just laughed at her when a house elf finally helped her find her way. She couldn't help getting lost, the paintings didn't help any, and she swore some of the hallways went around in circles.

Ginny was sitting in her room reading a book when there was a tap on the window. She looked out, and seeing the bird was Errol, let him in. He dropped the letter in front of her and went to rest on the desk.

Ginny,
How can you betray us like this? Your own brothers? Going to MALFOY'S house? I know he apologized to us but being his friend? We can't believe it! That could get you killed. He could be playing us all just the way he wants to as we speak. Ginny, his father tried to get you killed! Don't you understand that the Malfoy's are dangerous! We guess you're already at their house at the moment and we swear you better not be doing anything with Malfoy. He better not be in your room. He better not come within one hundred feet of your room or we will kill him ourselves with our bare hands. And we will. But first we'll torture him, cut out his tongue so he can't talk and cut off his fingers slowly, inch by inch, and castrate him. I think you get the picture. Tell Malfoy to watch his back, because we will get him and he will pay for even being close to our baby sister.

Sincerely,
Your Loving Brothers

Fred, George, and Ron

Ginny rolled her eyes, her brothers always thought they could control her, but they couldn't. She always did what she wanted, no matter if they liked it or not. She could date Draco if she wanted, her and Harry were technically broken up anyway. She still loved him though, and planned on waiting for him, no matter if it took years.

Ginny pulled out a clean sheet of parchment, a quill, and some ink and began writing a very angry letter to her brothers, maybe she'd even send it as a howler. 'Hehe,' she laughed at herself as she scribbled quickly over the parchment. 'Maybe I should have been in Slytherin.'

Yes you should have. Liking a MALFOY is strictly forbidden you know.

'For the last time, I LOVE Harry! I do NOT like Draco Malfoy!'

Yes you do!

"NO I DON'T" She screamed out loud.

"Don't what, Cherry? And you know, talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." Draco asked walking into her room.

"Nothing, Sunshine." She answered, choosing to ignore his insanity comment. "You know you could be a gentleman and knock first, I could have been naked in here." She said, still writing her letter.

"I know, that's what I was hoping for." Ginny turned around to look at him, her eyes wide and her jaw hanging open. "Ginny, close your mouth, It's not proper to gawk at people."

"I-Cannot-believe-you-just-said-that!" She spat, walking over to him and punching him lightly. He could be such a guy sometimes.

"Well, I did. Anyways, dinner is ready. I shall escort you to the dining hall, my lady." She laughed at him and took his offered arm as they made their way down stairs to dinner.

"Master, she is at White Manor, we can get her now. It will be quick and easy." Said a man with a mouse like voice. His face was covered by a black hood, just like the others, standing in the circle beside him.

"No," said a snake like voice. "We shall get her while she is at Hogwarts, just like we planned. Just to show them how easy it is for us to get passed them. Just to scare them a bit more" The unnatural creature laughed a cold, cruel, vicious laugh, then stopped suddenly. His blood red eyes stared at the ceiling for moment. "She is watching us," he smiled. "She knows her fate."

Ginny suddenly woke up screaming. She hadn't had dreams about Voldemort since her second year, since right after the Chamber of Secrets, why were they coming back now? Suddenly her door burst open and Draco flew in, rushing to her side.

"Are you okay? What's wrong? Is someone here? Are you hurt?" Draco asked, his eyes frantically searching the room for anything unusual.

"No I'm fine. I just had a dream...about Voldemort." She looked up at him as her eyes filled with tears." He's trying to get me Draco. Don't let him take me, don't let him take me." Draco wrapped her up in his arms, promising he wouldn't let her be taken away. After her tears stopped and she calmed down, she looked up at Draco. "Will you stay here with me tonight? I don't want to be alone. I don't want him to take me." Draco nodded and climbed into bed with her.

And somewhere in the distance, malicious laughter could be heard.
