Okay folks, so, here's the thing. Yes, I am the author of "I Am" which is my other Ginny/ Draco fic. I AM STILL GOING TO WORK ON THAT FIC, but I needed something else to work on to give me ideas for the other. So, I was digging around through some shit I did in high school and I found this plot outline. It is an actual complete outline, one of the few I have ever finished! So, this story is going on here! I have modified it a little since then, but it is the exact same plot that I originally stared with. I'M SO HAPPY! Okay, so, anyways, here it is, and I hope you enjoy it.

Also, don't discard this. I know, personally, I read the first few lines of a fic and if they don't just captivate me I don't really bother. But I have learned that if you just read the first few lines, they don't really tell you much about the story, and I've found some great ones that started off rocky but turned out to be wonderful in the end! So, please, just give this a chance, and if I get a good few reviews for it, I'll continue it.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, nor do I own 30 Seconds To Mars. Connor and a few other new characters are mine though, as is the plot. Please enjoy!

Chapter 1: Nightmares, Paparazzi, and Parties

Ginevra Molly Weasley sat up in bed, covered in a cold sweat, heart pounding, eyes blinking back tears, and chest heaving to gather at least an ounce of blessed air. It took her a moment for her body to quiet the tremors that wracked her frame. She ran her hands through her already disheveled hair and climbed out of bed. The floor that hit her feet was unfamiliar, as were most things in this ridiculously huge house. It wasn't the smooth, worn hardwood of The Burrow, no. It was the rock hard, cool marble of the new Weasley Manor. It was times like these that she cursed her father ever making Minister of Magic. With silent steps she treaded to the bathroom. In her mind she groped for the power that made the room illuminate. It was frustrating having to learn the new magic this mansion required.

Mental hand grasping the correct power, the lights flickered on and a beautiful golden glow covered the room. Ginny sighed. This single bathroom was bigger than 3 stories of The Burrow. She missed their old house, with it's familiar furnishings and it's homey feeling. This place felt foreign and cold, but this was home now, as much as she despised it. The truth was there and she would live with it.

She stripped out of her nightgown and slipped into the ready and waiting tub. Well, pool was more like it. The thing had to be as big as the Prefects Bathrooms at Hogwarts. This was one of the things, though, that she didn't mind. She let her body relax and float in the hot vanilla scented water.

They had lived in this house for 5 months, ever since her father had gotten his position of Minister of Magic. She remembered the day he had come home, near bursting with his news.

Ginny was in the kitchen helping her mother with dinner. She had finally finished her seven year stint at Hogwarts and was ready now to simply take a break for a while before starting back to yet another school.

"Pass me the potatoes, love." her mother said with good cheer.

Ginny picked up the bowl of now clean potatoes and handed them to her mother. Molly took them with a grin. Ginny quirked her eyebrow. "What's got you so happy today Mum?"

"Your father flooed earlier today and said he had some very exciting news to tell us all!" Molly answered, smiling jovially at her youngest and only daughter. "I think he finally got that promotion to head of the department!"

Ginny couldn't help but smile and hug her mother. They had all been praying that Arthur would get the promotion he'd worked so long and hard for. "So, that's the reason for the roast then? Dad's favorite dinner."

Molly smiled at her daughter and nodded. There was a gonging sound from the living room signaling Arthur's travel from work to home. Molly bustled to the stairs. "BOYS, EVERYONE, GET DOWN HERE NOW! YOU'RE FATHER'S ON HIS WAY HOME!"

There was a rumbling of feet as the five Weasley boys trooped down the stairs, even Fleur, belly swollen with her pregnancy, loped down after Bill. It was purely coincidence that everyone was present today. Charlie had shown up nearly a week ago with a broken arm and a goofy grin on his face. One of his dragons had gotten a bit too feisty. And then, not two days later Bill and Fleur had shown up to announce Fleur's pregnancy and stay for a bit of a vacation. And so it was that all of the Weasley clan, save one, was present.

Arthur apparated into the kitchen just as Fleur came off the last step. Arthur laughed upon seeing all his children waiting for him. Molly went over and gave him a quick peck and a strong hug. She then stepped back and looked at her husband. "Well? Did you get it? Did you get the promotion?"

All of them waited with baited breath as Arthur smiled broadly. "No."

Everyone's look turned quizzical. "What do you mean you didn't get the promotion?!" Molly asked outraged.

Arthur put his hands on her shoulders. "I didn't get that promotion, love. I didn't say I didn't get A promotion."

"Then what?" Molly asked, her eyes searching her husbands.

Arthur smiled at her and then at the rest of his family. "You are looking at the new Minister of Magic!" He announced with a broad grin.

Everyone gasped and Molly fainted.

And from that second on, chaos had ensued. There had been hugs and congratulations all around. After Molly had been revived merriment had taken over and dinner had been served. And that had been the road to the Minister's Manor.

Ginny ducked her head under the still hot water and erased the memory of that day, when all their lives had taken a huge turn. She emerged, water dripping down in her eyes and heaved a heavy sigh. It wasn't to say that she wasn't happy, it was just that, with all the media and the hype of Arthur Weasley's becoming Minister everything had gotten so chaotic and hectic. Ginny longed for the days when simplicity ruled in her family.

She heaved herself out of the bath and grabbed a big fluffy white towel. She wrapped it around herself and padded back into her bedroom. Though the room was nearly pitch black the clock on her bedside table told her that it was nearly 11. The lights came up and she headed towards her balcony windows. She grabbed one of the heavy curtains and yanked it aside, only to be greeted by the bright flash of a camera. She screamed and shut the curtain running out of her room. There was an apparation ban on the grounds and house, he wouldn't get very far.

"FRED, GEORGE!!!! PAPPARAZIE!" she screamed as she ran down the long hall towards the stairs. Fred, George, Ron, Harry, and Charlie burst out of their rooms and raced after her.

"Gin! Wait!" Ron grabbed her arm as they all neared the doors.

"Ron let me go!" she argued trying to wrench free of her brother's grasp.

"Gin, you're in a bathing towel and naked underneath, if there's one of those fuck heads, there's bound to be another somewhere! You can't go running out there! We'll take care of him!"

Ginny relented with yet another sigh and her brothers took off out the door, wand out and headed after the intruder.

Molly and Arthur entered the kitchen with looks of worry on their face. "What's wrong?

We heard you scream!"

Ginny growled. "It's those damned paparazzi!!!!!!! They're everywhere! One of them got a shot of me as I opened the curtains!"

"Damn, I'll floo to the office and get more bans on the grounds." Arthur stated, his voice barley betraying the rage he felt, and headed off towards his office. Molly went over to her daughter and wrapped her arms around her.

"There, there dearest" Molly whispered.

"Mum, I'm sick of these damned people" Ginny whispered back, wrapping her arms tighter around her mother. "All they want is the hottest news and the latest pictures and they're bloody annoying!"

"It will be well. Come, I'll make you some tea and breakfast." Molly unwound her arms from around her daughter and went to the stove.

"I'll be down in a minute. I need to change." Ginny stated. She went to her mother and kissed her cheek. She went back upstairs and into her bedroom. She cast a silencing charm on her room and stood there for a second before screaming her frustration to the gods. She grabbed a vase from a nearby table and hurled it against the wall. She took a deep steady breath and let it out slowly. This would get her nowhere. She would just have to deal with what came her way. She went to her closet and grabbed the first things she wanted. Her favorite jeans and the t-shirt given her by the lead singer of 30 Seconds To Jupiter, the newest and hottest band in the Wizarding World. Ginny smiled at the memory, Connor Gillespie was hot shit, and hot shit indeed. Better still was the fact that he was a good man, and a down to earth kind of guy. The fame he got disturbed him nearly as much as her fame disturbed her. Being the Minister's daughter did occasionally have its perks.

She threw her clothes on and applied minimal make-up and headed back downstairs. She immediately felt better when she encountered the photographer bound to a chair and his camera smashed to smithereens at his feet. There was a sticky paste on the outside of his mouth and Ginny laughed.

She bounded over to Fred and George and kissed them both on the cheeks. "Shut-Up Gum is, by far, your greatest invention."

The man made noises behind the paste. Fred and George laughed. At about that time Arthur strolled back into the kitchen with two guards in tow.

The guards untied the man and hauled him to his feet. He made disgruntled noises behind his mask, but no one paid any attention to him.

"All right men, take him away." Arthur commanded. The guards dragged the man out of the room. Arthur turned to his twin sons. "Boys, would you mind giving me the anti-dote? We need to find out who this guy works for."

Fred dug in his pocket, pulled out the anti-dote, and handed it to his father. "It takes two pieces if you really want to get him unstuck."

"Thanks boys." Arthur kissed his daughter on the forehead and smiled at her. "No worries, love. I've made sure things like him can't get in anymore."

"Thanks Daddy." Ginny kissed his weathered cheek. Arthur smiled, kissed his wife, and returned to the ministry.

((-))

The day had been eventful, to say the least. Just after breakfast Bill and Fleur and their new bouncing baby girl had dropped in for a surprise visit.

While Ginny, Molly, and Fleur had kept a vigilant watch over the baby, Bill and the boys had gone out for an impromptu game of Quidditch.

"Well, so far this has been the highlight of my day." Ginny stated as she held her niece carefully in her arms. Baby Sabine was barley a month old and looked the perfect mix of both her mother and father.

"Why? What 'as 'appened?" Fleur asked. She shifted to relieve her aching back.

Ginny checked to make sure her mother was still in the kitchen. "There was a paparazzi outside my window this morning who managed to get a shot of me in a towel." Ginny stated.

Fleur looked aghast. "Seriously?"

"Seriously" Ginny replied. Sabine gave a loud wail and Ginny stood to bounce her. Fleur dug in the diaper bag and pulled out a bottle. She handed it to Ginny, who stuck it quickly in the baby's mouth.

"What did you do? I would 'ave been terrified!" Fleur continued. Ginny paced the floor in front of her sister-in-law.

"Screamed of course! Then I got the boys and they tracked him down. Daddy took him to the ministry." Ginny said giving Fleur a weary look.

"Poor dear" Fleur said as she stood. She gave her sister-in-law a quick hug.

"Poor dear? Gin, a poor dear? That's unlikely."

Ginny and Fleur both spun around. A smile quickly spread across Ginny's face. "Connor! What're you doing here?" Ginny carefully passed Sabine back to Fleur and bounded over to Connor. She threw her arms his neck and kissed him soundly on the lips.

"Good to see you too." Connor laughed.

Fleur delicately cleared her throat. Ginny released her hold on Connor and spun around smiling shyly at Fleur. "Sorry Fleur! This is my friend Connor. He's the lead singer to that band 30 Seconds to Jupiter. Connor this is my sister-in-law Fleur Weasley."

Fleur's face went ecstatic. "You never told me you knew zem! I am a huge fan!" Fleur stated. She shifted Sabine and thrust her hand out. Connor took it smiling.

"Well, it's always nice to meet a fan." Connor stated smiling at both Ginny and Fleur. "And who is this beautiful little thing?" he asked motioning to Sabine.

"My niece, Sabine. Spoiled little thing that she is. First grandchild and all." Ginny playfully stuck her tongue out at Fleur.

Fleur smiled, but delicately sniffed the air. She made a face. "If you will excuse me, someone has decided it's time for a diaper change." She smiled once again at the two before grabbing the diaper bag and heading into the kitchen.

"Well, what're you doing here?" Ginny asked again. Connor slipped his hand in hers and tugged her out of the room to the front door.

"All right, close your eyes!" Connor ordered.

"But Connor-" Connor grabbed her hands and put them over her eyes.

"Stay" He joked. Ginny kept her hands planted over her eyes. Ginny heard the rarely used front door open and felt Connor's callused hand on her bare arm. He pulled ever so gently and she managed to make her way over the thresh hold without tripping. The presence of Connor's hand disappeared from her arm and she then heard the door click shut. She felt his presence return to her side.

"Alright, open your eyes!" He said.

Ginny dropped her hands and opened her eyes. She stood there speechless. In front of her was parked a black Aston Martin Vanquish S. She threw herself into Connor's arms.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" Every 'thank you' was punctuated with a kiss. She had never been so ecstatic in her life.

Connor smiled. "I'm glad you like it. It's yours for the night. And don't worry, it's fully insured and everything. It will cost neither of us a damn thing if anything happens to it." Ginny kissed him again.

"You rock!" She ran down the steps to the car and flung the door open. She squealed in delight. This was the car she'd been raging over for the past month. She had seen one while she was out with Connor and had wanted to just drive one. Not own, there were too many speeding tickets that would ensue, but simply drive. She got in the drivers seat and simply sat there taking it all in. Connor came over and leaned on the door. She looked up at him and smiled.

"So, where should I take this bad boy?" she asked with a grin.

"Well, there's a rad party over at Leto's place. And we're both invited." Connor stated.

"Your cousin, right? Jared Leto? The guy you jacked your band's name from?" Ginny joked.

"Yes, my cousin Jared, and I didn't jack my band's name! Jared and I got totally pissed and started making shit up. I do have consent from him you know. And besides, who would know the difference? They're muggle, we're not." Connor replied.

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Alright, we'll take the car tonight and have it back in the morning!" She gave Connor a quick kiss to the cheek and ran towards the door.

"Hey! Where're you going?" Connor called.

Ginny turned and smiled at him. "I have to change silly!"

((-))

Damn, it had been one hell of a night. Ginny cast a sobriety spell over herself, though it did make her completely sober, it did nothing to help the headache and tiredness within her. She headed over to where Connor and his band sat with his cousin and his band. She plopped down in between Connor and Jared.

"And here she is. I was wondering whether or not you'd gotten lost." Connor stated.

"No, not lost, just sick. I think I had too much brandy" Ginny said. "I think I'm going to go. I'm dreadfully tired."

To her right Jared laughed. "I honestly love you British. I mean who uses words like "dreadfully" anymore?"

Ginny gave him a smile, "And we also use words like bugger and bloody to convey our dislikes and curses." she remarked.

"Then I'll walk you to your car." Connor said. He stood and helped her to her feet.

Ginny leaned over and gave Jared a kiss on the cheek. "I had a lovely time. We'll definitely have to do this again some time."

"Yes, definitely. Feel free to come and hang out whenever you want. Open invitation!" Jared replied.

With good-byes said Connor and Ginny left the loft apartment that Jared was currently inhabiting during his stay in London. Connor walked her to her car and helped her in.

"Be safe, will you? I think Jared likes you more than I do." He gave her a goofy grin. "I'll drop by tomorrow, see how you're doing. Don't forget we've got that show tomorrow night. I'd like it if you came."

Ginny smiled up at him despite her tiredness. "Of course I'll be there. This is nothing a little sleep won't and can't fix."

He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss. "Alright then. See you tomorrow."

He shut her door and watched her drive off.

Ginny regretted having the music so loud when they had pulled up to the loft. She immediately turned the music down and headed out of the parking garage. Traffic, as usual was horrible. Late night London proved to be hell as she maneuvered her way towards the route that would take her back to the Manor.

Finally, finally she made her way onto the road that was a straight shot towards the manor.

The attack took her by surprise.

She only just gotten comfortable for the long drive when he apparated into her car, bulbs flashing. She shot her hand out and socked him in the face. He barley even noticed the attack. He threw the camera down and made a grab for her. She veered the car off the side of the road, momentarily blocking his advances. He was slammed against the window and she heard the unmistakable crunch of cracking glass. He righted himself soon enough and made to grab at her again. Only this time only one hand got her. The other got the wheel and he launched himself at her.

Horns blared. The deep bellow of a semi.

Ginny looked up in shock.

She barley even had time to scream before darkness claimed her.
