It’s like you’re a drug 
It’s like you’re a demon I can’t face down 
It’s like I’m stuck
*It’s like I’m running from you all the time*
And I know I let you have all the power 
It’s like the only company I seek is misery all around

She had no idea why she’d agreed to go to this stupid new club in Prague. She hated going to
clubs. Her friends said going to clubs in foreign countries was dangerous, and gave you a rush.
Then again, so were the Portkey’s, but she kept her mouth shut, and went along for the ride
begrudgingly. She usually ended up at the bar, wallowing in her misery, repeatedly ordering vodka
martinis, and eating stale peanuts, which that in itself was a dangerous thing. Don’t get her
wrong. She loved her friends for trying to cheer her up. She knew they meant well. But Ginny
Weasley had no one to blame but herself for being so depressed. *She* went back to *him*.
He always hurt her in the end. But she couldn’t help it. She was always drawn to him.

He watched her from across the club. His stormy grey eyes narrowing as he followed the wall
towards the bar, eyes never leaving her back as he did so. He was drawn to her. Her blood colored
wavy hair that cascaded down her back to the small of her back, her fiery aura, dark hazel eyes,
which changed colors during different moods of hers, most of all, he was drawn to her mouth. It did
such deliciously sinful things; it’d been so long since he’d experienced such things… with her at
least. He’d tried seeking release in the arms of another woman, but nothing could quench his hunger
like she could. He was afraid of becoming his father, so he pushed her away, time and time again
when he was ready to confess how he truly felt for her. It was to protect her from his dark world.
Draco Malfoy was in love… but no one could know that.
It’s like you’re a leech 
Sucking the life from me 
It’s like I can’t breathe 
Without you inside of me 
And I know I let you have all the power 
And I realize I’m never gonna quit you over time

She wore an interesting top, which he knew had been designed by her friend Gabby Delacour. It
was a shimmery silvery white, like a unicorn’s mane. The back was void of cloth, rows of flesh
colored beads hanging from a silver chain. The sides dipped in like an hourglass, revealing the
creamy flesh of her sides. A rainbow shaped arc removed the material from above her breasts;
flashing cleavage to whomever she came face-to-face with. A circular cutout revealed her navel, a
small chain in the center of it hung five different lengths of lines of beads, the same color as
the ones hooking across her back. The inwardly arched sides slipped down to her hips, circling
around to meet below the small of her back to hide beneath the hem of her skirt. Her skirt was a
charcoal mini, barely covering her rear, tempting men to come closer and inspect how short it
really was. It was loose and airy, and bounced with every move she made while dancing. He’d noticed
that, and hadn’t been the only one, when she’d first danced with Gabby, Lovegood, Pansy, and
Granger when they arrived. Silver straps from her open heels crisscrossed their way from her knees
to her ankles. Red hair stood out especially with the outfit, but in an attractive way. Ginny was a
Goddess.

His gaze was fixed upon her. She could feel it. She knew it was his. Only he could pierce
through her skin and straight into her soul when he looked at her. What was he doing here? In
*Prague* of all places. He couldn’t go to a club in England? That’s why Gabby, Luna, Pansy,
and Hermione thought taking her to another country would be a good idea. They wouldn’t run into
*him*. She turned in the uncomfortable stool, hazel looking into charcoal. He looked amazing,
even in such casual clothes. Well, casual for him. Slacks surrounded his long lithe legs like a
black encasement. A dark red business shirt had black pinstripes, which started at the folded
collar, and ended at the pointed tails. Cufflinks discarded somewhere, wrist of his sleeves loose
and open. Three buttons undone, wispy hairs of silver contrasting against the dark material of the
shirt. The same silver hair framed his eyes as fringe fell into the darker silver hues. Thin, yet
supple lips twisted up in *that* smirk as he made his way along the row of uncomfortable
stools, heading right for her. Draco was *amazing*.
It’s like I can’t breathe 
It’s like I can’t see anything 
Nothing but you 
I’m addicted to you 
It’s like I can’t think 
Without you interrupting me 
In my thoughts, in my dreams 
You’ve taken over me 
It’s like I’m not me 
It’s like I’m not me

He knew that smirk of his excited and infuriated her at the same time. Exactly what he was
aiming for. He wanted her to want him, but have her fiery attitude too. For *that* excited
him. He came to a stop in front of her, wordlessly watching her, eyes taking in her expression of
puzzlement. A pale hand lifted, back of fingers lightly brushing along her cheekbone, trailing
along her jaw. He leant close as his fingers continued their decent. Fingers brushed her
collarbone, lips parted. Lower through her cleavage, a breath inhaled. The back of his fingers felt
the void of skin at her navel, and as his hand flattened against the bare expanse of skin, he
spoke. “Dance with me.” He breathed into her ear, hand sliding to curl around her hip. “One last
time.” He muttered before his left hand wound around her back to press against the small of it,
gently pushing her off the stool. His hand around her hip added pressure with the heel, forcing her
to turn around, her back pressed against his chest. “Don’t be afraid.” He said, a slight pleading
in his voice as he led them out to the dance floor.

One moment her finger was trailing the rim of the near empty martini glass, the next his hands
are on her, exciting her with the simplest of touches. She allowed him to lead her to the dance
floor, already feeling light headed, heart racing, blood pumping. Gods, in his presence for less
than three minutes and she was already ready to run back to him. The song playing was very
reminiscent of their situation. Of *her* situation. *Very* reminiscent. She opened her
eyes once they stopped, noticing they were in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by throngs
of people. Somewhere in them were her friends, but they couldn’t help her now. She was already
willing to give into Draco Malfoy, and they hadn’t even begun dancing yet. They were just standing
there, his arms around her waist loosely, so she didn’t feel trapped, she knew. Her arms hanging
limply at her side, head resting back against his left shoulder, eyes slowly closing once more as
she enjoyed the feeling of being close to him once more.
It’s like I’m lost 
It’s like I’m giving up slowly 
It’s like you’re a ghost that’s haunting me 
Leave me alone 
And I know these voices in my head are mine alone 
And I know I’ll never change my ways 
If I don’t give you up now

He looked down at her as her head lulled backward to rest on his shoulder, eyes closed. She
looked angelic. But he knew she wasn’t *just* an angel, she was *his* angel. He closed
his own eyes as he began leading them into a sway, rocking back and forth slowly to the rock
enthused song. His nose caught the scent of coconuts, one of his favorite scents, mainly because
Ginny bathed in that scent. It was her shampoo, or maybe her body wash, or maybe her lotion. Either
way, it was coconuts. He buried his nose into her soft tresses, inhaling the scent, arms winding
tightly around her midriff as he did so. Pulling her closer, a small groan barely audible over the
rumble of the music. “What do you do to me?” His voice asked, taking on some of the groan as he
pressed against her back firmly, unsure if she heard him over the music. It was an odd song to play
in the club, but perhaps Prague had a different way about their clubs than the ones in England.

Her hands lifted to wrap around his neck, as his nose buried deep into her hair, inhaling what
she knew was the scent that drove him wild. Coconuts. It’d always been one of her favorites, but
after Draco told her that she smelt amazing while wearing that particular scent of body lotion, it
became her *favorite.* She’d heard his groan, heard his question, heard the uneven breaths he
exhaled as she pressed back against him, buttocks pressing against him as her hips swayed along to
their own seductive beat, but still following the bass of the song. Her fingers ran up into his
hair, tugging lightly at the soft strands as she pulled her hand away, trying to figure out what
exactly it was that drove her back into Draco’s arms every time.
It’s like I can’t breathe 
It’s like I can’t see anything 
Nothing but you 
I’m addicted to you 
It’s like I can’t think 
Without you interrupting me 
In my thoughts, in my dreams 
You’ve taken over me 
It’s like I’m not me 
It’s like I’m not me

His right hand, which was curled around her left hip, traveled along her stomach to press
against her side, the side of his thumb stroking the flesh of her hip, which was revealed from the
arched sides. His body dipped to the left a bit as his arm stretched out to reach the silky skin of
her thigh. Fingers slowly trailed up the sensitive flesh, never completely touching, tickling her
with the whisper. Lips pressed to the column of her throat as his fingers reached the hem of her
skirt, dragging the material up briefly as his hand made it way to it’s destination: her hip. Both
hands gripped, roughly turning her around, dragging her against his body. One arm tightened around
her waist, trapping her against him, his other’s hand traveled along her spine, beads from the
chains creating an uneven journey to her neck. His hips rotated, grinding against her as the song’s
bass coursed through their bodies. His hand tangled in her hair as it splayed out against the curve
of her skull, lips traveled along her jaw line to her ear, inquiring once more, “What do you do to
me?”

She’d been surprised at the sudden movement. She’d been caught up in his teasing of her thigh.
He loved doing that to torture her; it was a particularly sensitive spot for her. She’d recognized
the song now, her lips moving in sync with the words, exhaled breaths taking shape of the lyrics
she mouthed. She wrapped her long arms around his neck, elbows perched on his shoulders after a few
moments, hands weaving into his hair, “I’ve been asking myself that same question.” She breathed
into his ear, before stepping away slowly. “I don’t want you to hurt me again, Draco.” Her eyes
radiated sadness, voice thick with the same emotion.
I’m hooked on you 
I need a fix 
I can’t take it 
Just one more hit 
I promise I can deal with it 
I’ll handle it, quit it 
Just one more time, then that’s it 
Just a little bit more to get me through this

He stepped closer, hands cupping her cheeks as his eyes looked into hers, past irises, and deep
into her soul. “I’d never hurt you Ginny. I…” He stopped himself from adding two powerful words to
that. “I could never live with myself if I knew I’d hurt you.” He covered, snapping back into
action when her head tilted into his left hand. He wished he could tell her how he truly felt about
her, but he wouldn’t let her worm her way into the blackness that surrounded the Malfoy name. She
was much better without it. As much jealousy and pain he felt, he knew she should be with someone
like Harry-fucking-Potter. Someone that could keep her safe and happy.

She’d seen the love radiated in his eyes. She knew the family he came from. They’d never been
very comfortable with revealing emotions. Especially one so powerfully life altering as love. Her
hands met his elbows, slowly traveling up his arms to where his strong, Quidditch roughed palms
warmed her cheeks. Her hands wrapped around his before she slowly pulled away once more. She held
his gaze for a few moments, before turning her back to him. She wasn’t leaving him. She was leading
him. Her hands pulled him with her through the crowds, towards the back exit.
I’m hooked on you 
I need a fix 
I can’t take it 
Just one more hit 
I promise I can deal with it 
I’ll handle it, quit it 
Just one more time, then that’s it 
Just a little bit more to get me through this

Things between them had always been passionate. From sex to fighting, they always did it
passionately. And tonight, those two elements of their relationship were intertwined. They
Apparated into his apartment, both attacking the other immediately. Lips pressed together in
hunger, hands pulling at fabric, undoing buttons. Feet kicked away shoes, hands pressed against
bare flesh as they fought for dominance. Husky moans reverberating through the room as they
explored the other’s body with their hands, no territory uncharted.

He shoved her against a wall, hands forming around buttocks to lift her up, hands sliding down
across thighs as she wrapped them around his waist. Her hands pulled roughly at his hair as they
continued their never-ending bruising kiss, unsure on whether she wanted to cause him pain or if
the want and lust that had been building up for weeks since their last departure was finally
exploding. His left hand went to the waist of his boxers, shoving them down to free his aching
member as his lips left hers to suction on *that* spot of her neck as he rocked his hips
forward, entering her in one smooth movement. Her breathy moan caused him to groan himself,
stilling for a moment to revel in the feeling of being surrounded by Ginny. Her arms around his
neck, her legs around his waist, he was completely surrounded by her. His arms surrounded her waist
as he pulled away from the wall, turning to walk them towards the bed. Once they crashed down on to
the cerulean sheets, Draco kissed Ginny’s lips softly before his hips started moving.
It’s like I can’t breathe 
It’s like I can’t see anything 
Nothing but you 
I’m addicted to you 
It was one of their most passionate nights, lasting into the early morning hours. Eventually
both were spent, and Ginny had rolled off of Draco to lay next to him as they both basked in the
afterglow, both drifting into a peaceful slumber sometime soon after.

Dawn was breaking when Draco shifted in the bed, reaching out blindly to snuggle Ginny close to
his body, wanting to be enveloped in her warmth once more, but was greeted with a pillow, a sheet
of paper sat atop. He opened his eyes, pushing away the empty feeling that grew steadily in him as
he lifted the piece of paper and read what Ginny had left for him. As he read towards the bottom,
he realized it was the song that they had danced to at the club. As his eyes scanned her loopy
script, he couldn’t push away that empty feeling when it snuck up on him as he was distracted with
the note. A single tear made it’s way down the Slytherin’s face as he read the last lines. ‘*This
is what we do to one another. We’re addicted to each other. I may love you, but I don’t want to be
an addict. Goodbye Draco Malfoy.’* The only person to ever love him, and he ruined it. The paper
was crumbled up in his hand as he raised his closed fists to his forehead, willing himself not to
cry.
It’s like I can’t think 
Without you interrupting me 
In my thoughts, in my dreams 
You’ve taken over me 
*It’s like I’m not me*

Ginny entered her flat through the Muggle way, the door. She’d just left Draco’s not twenty
minutes before. She’d wanted to stay with him forever, wrapped in his warm embrace… but she knew
eventually that he would hurt her again. With a sigh, Ginny closed the door behind her slowly, and
the soft click of the lock turning into place broke her. She leant back against the door, sinking
down slowly as tears formed in her eyes. Sobs tore from her through and racked her body as the
events of the night set in. As the realization that the love of her life would no longer be there
for her to go back to for another fix.

*It’s like I’m not me*…

I was in a car accident a week and a half ago, right after I started writing this. The Doctor
says rest and relaxation will help heal me faster, but I think reviews will! *lol* Please read and
review. I tried out a new writing style, not sure if it came out well.
