"I love you too, Draco."



Draco pulled away and stared into the eyes of a just as startled Ginny.



"Oh my God... I... I..." she grabbed her bathrobe off the floor, stood up quickly, and wrapped it around her body. "I... I just... I'm sorry!" she cried and ran out of the room.



Draco remained sitting there on the floor trying to understand what was going on. Did she know? Was it a mistake? He sat there for another second before he decided to get up and run after her.



Ginny ran out of her room, down the stairs, and right out of her tower. She was glad that no one was in the common room, for she didn't have to worry about anyone following her and asking her what was wrong. She knew what was wrong; she screwed up. There was no way that he wouldn't know what was going on. She knew that he was a smart one. 'Great job girl, you got him to say that he loves you and you go ahead and screw it up'. Ginny covered her ears with her hands and continued to cry and run. Before she knew it, she didn't know where she was. "Good going, Ginny, now you're lost," she said out loud.



"Is that really a bad thing?" said a voice.





Meanwhile...



Draco ran after Ginny, following her through hallways that he didn't even know about, and not before too long he realized that he was lost. "Oh great job!" he criticized himself. How was he ever going to find her now? Draco got this really bad feeling in his stomach and knew that his Ginny was in some kind of trouble. He looked around at the different corridors that he could go down and picked one, hoping that he wasn't too late.





Back to Ginny...



Ginny turned around towards him. She sighed and said, "Just leave me alone!" She pushed him away when he got too close to her.



He grabbed her arm, held her close, and said, "What if I don't want to leave you alone?" He took off his glasses.



"William!" Ginny screamed.



"So, you finally recognized me, Sweets! It's about damn time that you did!" He leaned down, kissed her hard, and then suddenly let go of her. "Ah, my sweets, how I've missed you!"



Ginny was about to say something when he closed his mouth over hers again. William held her way too tight, hurting her. Ginny was scared; she didn't know what to do. She tried to push him away, but she wasn't strong enough, so she did the one thing that she could think to do-she bit his lip as hard as she could.



William released her and checked out his lip. When he realized that it was bleeding, he got angry. He slapped her hard across the cheek with the back of his hand, and she fell to the ground screaming. "Bitch!" he screamed at her and picked her up. He raised her hands above her head and with one hand was able to pin her to the wall. With his other he did as he pleased. Ginny started crying and did what she could with her feet, but it did nothing to make him get away from her.



Suddenly, she felt William get dragged off of her.





Meanwhile...



Draco's heart was racing. He was running around looking for her, trying to find his Ginny. He was sure that he was going the wrong way when he heard a scream and someone shouting, 'bitch'. He knew that was Ginny and that she was in trouble. He picked up his pace and didn't stop running until he found her. She was pinned up against the wall and her captor was taking advantage of her. Draco didn't even think about what he was doing. He just ran up to the two of them and dragged William off of her.



He turned him around and saw William relaxed. "Hello, cousin," drawled William.



"Hi," Draco said angrily and punched him in the nose.



"Cousin, what the hell are you doing?" William asked as he grabbed a hold of his bleeding nose.



"One of the things that I should have done on the first day of school." Draco went to punch his cousin again, but William caught it, and with his other hand punched Draco in the eye, sending him back against the other wall.



"Is that true... Draco?"



Draco looked at Ginny and saw a disappointed, yet scared face. "Ginny, I..." He walked towards her, but she ran away.



William made his way towards Draco and said, "Damn, I didn't get to see her reaction."



Draco grabbed his cousin by the throat and held him against the wall. "You know," he said, "this is feeling all too familiar."



"Yes, because maybe this is what I did to you last year," William gasped.



"Ah, yes, but everything's turned around, how weird."



"Uh... Draco... air..." William pointed to his neck.



"You don't deserve the chance to breath again. You disgust me, cousin." Draco released William and watched him fall to the ground, trying to regain his breath as fast as he could.



Draco bent down to the ground and said, "Take slow breaths. This way you won't hyperventilate." And with that, he was gone.





Meanwhile...



Ginny was running down the halls, trying to get away from the two Malfoys as fast as possible. She knew that Draco would be coming after her shortly.



"Ginny!" It was Ron, Hermione, and Harry. Ron stopped her and said, "What are you doing out here with only your bathrobe on?"



Ginny freed herself from her brother's clutches and said, "I'll tell you later...maybe." And with that, she ran away.





Moments after that, Ron, Harry, and Hermione saw someone else running their way. It was Draco Malfoy.



Ron growled and said, "Malfoy! I should have known!" Draco ran up to them and looked a little terrified since he was outnumbered. "What the bloody hell did you do to my little sister now?"



"Ah, I'll explain later, Ron!" Draco ran away, but said, "Oh by the way, you have been doing a great job of walking quieter."



"You slimy little git! I'm going to get you!" Ron was about to run after him, but Harry and Hermione held him back.



"Let them work this out," Hermione said. "She's a big girl now."



Ron still fumed with anger.





Ginny kept on running and didn't stop until she was outside. It was pouring rain and she was getting soaked, but she didn't care. She ran right to her rock that was right in front of the pond, sat down on it, and started to cry.





Draco continued to follow Ginny and was very surprised that her brother wasn't running after him. He heard the entrance door close and knew she went outside, so naturally he followed. As soon as he got outside, he couldn't see much of anything, let alone see which way she went. He took out his wand and said, "Lumos," and the tip of his wand glowed. "Damn it all, Ginny, where did you go?" He stood still, letting the rain soak him through his clothes. Then an idea popped into his head. He knew she'd be there. It was their Monday and Wednesday night tradition spot. He held his wand out and ran as fast as he could to the pond.



When he reached his destination, he couldn't find her anywhere. He sat down on the ground and sighed.



"Why did you come after me?" said a voice.



Draco jumped up, not expecting to see her after looking for her. He opened his mouth and said, "To explain."



Ginny crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Explain what?"



Draco walked a little closer and said, "Explain what's going on. This isn't some sick joke that William and I planned during summer vacation. This is something..."



"I'm not that stupid, Malfoy," she said in a hurt tone and tears.



"Excuse me?" Draco said, not fully understanding where that came from.



"I'm not stupid or naïve, I knew what was going on..." she said in a small timid voice.



"You knew?" Draco sounded a little hurt and a little upset. "What exactly did you know?"



"I knew that you weren't William from the beginning. I knew that you could see and slowly I put the pieces together and realized what really happened."



"And what do you think really happened?"



"That on the first day of school William took one look at me... and... well...and decided that I apparently wasn't good enough for him." She paused and said, "But as to the reason why you stayed William for so long is beyond me." Draco opened his mouth to say something, but Ginny continued, "It's okay though. I knew that it wouldn't last forever and I know I got what I deserved."



"What are you talking about? You didn't deserve anything that happened tonight."



"Oh yes I did!" She started crying harder, "I...I...used William."



"You what?"



"I said I used him!" She screamed, looking him in the face.



"Why?"



"Because I..." She tried to keep contact with his eyes, but she couldn't say this to his face. She looked down at her feet and said, "because he was closest thing that I could get to you." She glanced up to try and read the expression on his face, and she saw confusion. She sighed angrily and said, "I liked you, and you weren't going to see me as anything more than a red-headed, poor Weasley. You never noticed me, you never looked my way, and you never even insulted me." She saw the look on his face go from confused to shocked. "If you at least insulted me, you'd be speaking to me and I would have known that you at least knew I existed." Draco could just barely understand her through her crying. She paused and continued with her story. "Then William came along. I knew that I could just walk up to him and talk to him. He could never judge me because he didn't know I was a red-headed Weasley."



"You... you liked me?" Draco asked.



Ginny closed her eyes to try to stop her tears from falling. "Yes, I liked you," she said it calmly and sincerely. "And that's why I didn't say anything to you when I found out that it was you. I just hoped that maybe you'd get to know me and maybe learn to like me and if not, I could just enjoy the time that I had with you."



"But how did you find out?"



Ginny smiled and let out a small laugh, "That was easy. First of all, you kiss a hell of a lot better then William. You were very oblivious to what was going on. You never called me 'Sweets' like William, you called me 'Ginny' and I liked that a lot better. And the number one way that I knew that you weren't William was you never used your walking cane. I still don't get how no one else knew about it."



Draco laughed and said, "I knew I forgot something." He paused for a moment and then said seriously, "Then again, maybe they all thought that you were leading me around, I mean... because we were always together."



"Yeah."



There was an awkward silence, and then Ginny turned and started to walk away.



"Wait!" Draco said and grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"



"Where do you think I'm going?" she asked. All she got from him was a shrug. She sighed and said, "I'm going to the kitchens to eat as much chocolate as I can."



"But... what about..."



"Us?" Ginny asked and he nodded his head. "Draco, there is no us. I know you don't really love me. I know that you only said that because you thought that William already said that. I was just stupid enough to think that you actually meant it, that's why I..." She stopped; she didn't want to say it.



"That's why you said it back. Is it true?" Draco asked. All Ginny could do was nod. "So what, you're just going to leave and go with someone else?"



Ginny looked up at him and said, "Draco, this isn't some fairy tale where I'm promised a happy ending with some prince in shining armor. This is the real life of a Weasley, and I'll take what I can get." She sniffled and cried.



Draco walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. "But what if someone can promise you that fairy tale ending?"



Ginny looked up at Draco and said, "What are you talking about?"



"I'm saying that I do love you. I, Draco Malfoy, love you, a red-headed, poor Weasley." He smiled down at her. "Your plan worked. I got to know you and I fell in love with you."



"Really?" she smiled.



"Actually, no, not really." She frowned and looked away. "I think I loved you from the moment I saw you. I just didn't know it. I started to realize it when while you were going out with William, and that's why I decided to stay 'William'. I couldn't stand it if he hurt you. I did try telling you on several occasions that I wasn't William, but you kept on kissing me." Ginny smiled and slightly blushed. He returned the smiled and continued, "You melted my evilness, Ginny, and under that evilness, I found the greatest thing of all, and that's love. Love for you. So please say you'll forgive me and give us a chance."



"I love you, Draco, and yes, I'll give us a chance."



Draco ran his fingers through her wet hair, leaned down, and kissed her.
