"Since you both seem to have such a fascination with closets, that is what you'll each be doing tonight. You'll have exactly two hours to clean each closet in this room. Without magic." Replied Professor Snape as he pointed at a bucket of soapy water and a pile of scrubbing rags. Draco sighed. The last thing he wanted was to be trapped in a room with the mini-Weasley and have to clean wasn't helping at all. Glancing over at her, he saw that she was starring at the closet in the back with a look he had never seen grace her face before. He almost wanted to say it was fear, but as soon as the look came it left, leaving him curious.

"Professor if we're done, can we leave before the two hours?" Weasley asked, her eyes lifting with hope.

"You may, but I do not think you'll be done before your time is up. You're detention begins now. I'll be back in exactly two hours. Do try to keep out of each others arms, no matter how strong the urge is." Snape walked out with two looks of pure evil following him. They both just stood there, until she finally spoke.

"Listen, lets just make this as painless as possible and get it done. I won't talk to you if you don't talk to me." She said as Draco sat on the edge of a desk.

"Professor if were done, can we leave before the two hours?" Weasley asked, her eyes lifting with hope.

"You may Mrs. Weasley, but I do not think you'll be done before your time is up. Your detention begins now, and I'll be back in exactly two hours. Do try to keep out of each other, no matter how strong the urge is." Snape walked out with two looks of pure evil following him. They just stood there, until finally the Weasle spoke up.

"Tell me then Weasley, when do you stop talking?" Draco asked. Rolling her eyes, Ginny picked up the bucket of water and a scrubber. Walking over to one of the closets, she opened it and started scrubbing.

"Well, isn't this a sight. Finally found what you were meant to do for a living, huh Weasley?" He waited for her to take the bait, but she didn't. She just sat there, all scarlet and chocolate, scrubbing the closets. How could she look so innocent? She was like a frail child, but some how different.

"Who's Tom?" For the first time since he had know of her pathetic existence, she slowly turned on her knees speechless. He saw the look return to her eyes and watched her try to make it go away. She was failing miserably.

"Who told you..about Tom?" Pushing himself off the desk, he walked over to where she sat on her knees. Looking down upon her, he realized how small she looked sitting on the ground, her eyes wide with something between fear and shock. Kneeling down, to where their heads where almost even, Draco took a deep breathe.

"You did." Fear retreated from her chocolate eyes and was replaced with confusion.

"I never said a word to you about Tom ferret." Her eyes held a cold edge, one that Draco had never seen before. Why was she so fascinating to him?

"You didn't mean to tell me, but how could I just ignore you when you were trapped in the closet. You were screaming like a werewolf, so I was bound to overhear something. So who is he, an ex boyfriend? A relative? He must be something damning to scare you." Draco replied. Weasley slowly stood, arms crossed, and walked from where Draco was kneeling. His eyes followed her and Draco waited for her to say something. Eventually, she turned once again picking up the bucket and resumed her cleaning.

"Don't worry about if Malfoy. You couldn't handle the truth." She whispered and he barley heard it. For the first time in his life, Malfoy left it alone. Something in her voice made his stomach turn and he didn't like it. Tomorrow he would go back to calling her the blood traitor that she was but not tonight. Picking up a scrubber, he went to work and it was silent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He actually left her alone about Tom and she had never felt so relieved in her life. How could she had be so stupid to let something like that slip? A long silence filled the air and all Ginny heard was scrubbing. Her hands hurt and knees were turning red from being in the same position for such a long time. As the minutes went by, they finally got all six closets cleaned with thirty minutes to spare. Washing the soap from her hands, she picked up her bag and turned to the door getting ready to walk out. But, she turned looking Malfoy straight in the eyes. There was something important she had to say.

"You know what you said to me about not know who I am? We'll I've been thinking and you're right," Malfoy watched her was a surprised look, " I don't know who I am, but I promise I'll find out. And when I do, it will be my choice. I wont have anyone tell me what I have to do, because I'm stronger than that. I guess that means I'm stronger than you." With that, she walked out of the room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I guess that means I'm stronger than you." The words kept running through Draco's head that night while he tried to sleep. Whad did she know? Her life was always sheltered; she had never felt any real pain. He wasn't talking about the pain that hurt for a little while, but the pain that kept you up at night, wondering how you ever survived through it. Rolling onto his side, Draco felt a sharp pain go through his body. Look down, in the moonlight he caught a glimpse of the faint scar. Great, it still hadn't healed and his father had inflicted it upon him weeks before school started. Ignoring the pain, Draco pushed his eyes shut. Tomorrow things would go back to normal and he would crush the little blood traitor.
