A/N: This is set in Ginny's seventh year. Some of the stuff said in this story refers back to Book 6, so if you haven't read it, then don't read this. It kind of follows what happened, but i've added my own twist to it...so please enjoy.

For six years I spent my time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and while I was there I think I never got tired of seeing its walls or the people in them. However, when my seventh and final year came, all of that changed. It was the worst time of my life…well for at least the first part of it….

Harry, Hermione and Ron had all graduated and went on to do other things. Hermione and Ron were now engaged and Harry was in St. Mungos recovering from injuries he received while defeating Voldemort. Yes Voldemort was defeated, and the wizarding world was now free. Muggleborns could now roam without feeling threatened and all those who believed that muggleborns should not live were sent to Azkaban to be sentenced. I felt as if things couldn't get any worse, however, the train ride to my last and final year at Hogwarts proved me wrong.

I wandered down the hall to find and empty compartment, my best friend Aiden at my heels. As usual the only compartment open was the one at the end of the hall. Only, it wasn't completely empty, one man sat in it staring out the window lost in his own little world. I could tell by his robes that he was a man of prosperity, and wealth. His robes were the newest in fashion, and had to cost hundreds of galleons. His white blonde hair hung down almost past his shoulders, and when I saw that, my stomach gave a sickening lurch. I knew of only two men who had hair like that; one was dead, and the other…

Aiden shut the door behind us quite loudly, startling the man out of his daydream. He jumped slightly and turned to us. That's when I felt all my insides begin to jumble…the other man was setting right in front of me. He was my family's worst enemy, the person known for causing me and my brother so much pain and annoyance during his days at Hogwarts. There before me was none other than Draco Malfoy.

His gaze landed on me first. When his eyes finally focused and he recognized who was before him, he smirked his trademark smirk and flicked his eyes quickly to see who was behind me, but soon returned them to me. We stared at each other for a few seconds; he held is smirk, but I glared. My eyes held such fury and hatred, that if my looks could kill, I'm sure that he would have been dead. Finally after a few minutes he began to say something, but I cut him off before he could.

"What are you doing here Malfoy." My tone was harsh, but he just merely raised an eyebrow at my words.

"Tut, tut Miss Weasley, is that a way to greet a Professor." He held my gaze, refusing to look away. I stared back hard.

"Professor? You mean to tell me the let you be a Professor?" He nodded his head at me, his smirk becoming more of an evil smile. "What was McGonagall thinking?" I didn't really mean for it to come out as loud as it did. However, Draco just found it amusing.

"Now, now Miss Weasley, there is no need to raise your voice. We can discuss this without yelling." His calmness just made me even more irritated. And the smirk that seem plastered to his face wasn't helping. I felt the anger boil up in me every moment I stared into his steel gray eyes. Finally after a couple of minutes, I had to look away.

"You mean to tell me after everything that happened, they let you come back and be a teacher?" I stared at the floor, refusing to look up. My tone wasn't that harsh, but the way I said it made the smirk on Draco's face vanish.

"Nothing happened Miss Weasley. I have as much of a right to be here as you down." It was now his turn for a harsh tone. However, these words struck me, and I snapped my head up to glare at him.

"As much right as I have, huh? You do not have as much of a right to be here. If I remember correctly, it is your fault that Dumbledore is dead!" This infuriated him more than I had ever seen him. His eyes became as harsh, if not more harsh than my eyes had seemed. He stood up and slowly walked over to me. His six foot something frame toward over my five foot something frame. I glared up at him, afraid to show weakness, worried of what he was capable of doing.

"That is none of your business Miss Weasley. Please, leave your little comments and opinions to yourself, unless if you want points taken away and detentions before you even get to school."

He had power now, I knew that. I just didn't want to admit it. However, I found myself unable to come back with a smart remark. I didn't want to have to spend detention with Malfoy and I also didn't want to be responsible for Gryffindor already being in the whole points before school had started.

So I swallowed all the witty comebacks I had, along with all of my pride and looked up at him sweetly, but with a hint of anger still in my eyes. "Yes Professor. I'm…" I stuttered on the last word, "…sorry"

He did not look happy at my apology, but nodded his head anyways. Then he pushed past me, and almost knocked Aiden over. On his way out he said "You can have this compartment. I'm going to go to the Professors compartment." Then he slammed the door shut behind him, causing Aiden to give a little squeak. I glared at the spot where he once stood and growled, then kicked to door.

"Damn him." I said harshly, then I whispered under my breath slightly again. "Damn him."

Aiden looked at me a little frightened, but took a seat on one of the benches while I took a seat on the other. "So, Malfoy's back." I glared at her and looked out the window. She didn't say anything else the whole ride to Hogwarts.

I was just sitting on my couch one day with my NEW laptop and I was like, oh, I have an idea for a story. So I started writing and this is what I came up with.
