Chapter 7

Once Draco and Ginny had showered, he had left her asleep on his bed. He had worn her out, he had even worn himself out, but because the little minx had persuaded him into missing out on his work, he had to force himself to work now.

He knew he would work well into the night, and walked towards the kitchen and started a pot of coffee.

When Draco glanced up from his office desk at the clock opposite of him, he leaned back in his chair, tempted to just let the sleep take him.

As he relaxed and closed his eyes, he felt like he was drifting off, when a scream from his bedroom, jolted him upright.

For a second he froze, and when she cried out for him, he bolted out of his office and ran towards his bedroom.

He could see Ginny's body squirming as if she was in tremendous pain. A sweat had broken out all over her body, and her chest rose violently as she tried to catch her breath.

"Please, stop" a small whimper escaped her lips, and Draco made it to her side and lifted her into his arms.

"Ginny wake up!" he said as he took her chin into his hand and tried to get her to open her eyes. "You are having a bad dream, wake up honey!"

Tears were streaming through her closed eyes and down her cheeks, her lip quivered.

Draco pulled her closer to him, and nuzzled his head next to her ear.

"Whore!" Tom screamed as his hand connected with her cheek. "Dirty little whore! How dare you let him touch you!"

"Ginny, wake up." Ginny felt the words washing over her, she could hear them loud and clear, Draco's voice.

Tom's head snapped up as he looked around to find the source.

Tom's hand found Ginny's neck and squeezed tightly; he smirked and released her throat as she began to choke. He ran his hand down the valley of her breasts and Ginny began to shiver violently as he ran his hand over her stomach.

"Love, Please open those big beautiful eyes and look at me!" Before she could see Tom reach her sex, her eyes opened and Tom's face dissolved, as she focused onto Draco's worried one.

Her chest heaved as relief flooded Draco's eyes, and Ginny's tears came harder. All she wanted to do was curl up next to Draco, but she was afraid.

Afraid of Tom, and what he would do to her if she let Draco touch her ever again.

She scrambled away from him, and Draco frowned. "I should go" she whispered and tried to swallow the knot that had formed in her mouth.

Draco's brows wrinkled in distress as he watched her get to her feet, and began to pull her jeans out of the bag Luna had brought her. She pulled one leg through the jeans and then the other, forgetting all about her underwear.

She had her back to Draco, and hadn't noticed him, getting off the bed and coming to stand behind her. She only knew he was behind her when he wrapped his arms around her stopping her from buttoning up her jeans.

Her body relaxed as soon as his arms were wrapped around her, but her mind stood wide-awake. She couldn't be here longer. Tom would torment her sleep, if she let Draco…be Draco with her.

"Please," she whispered as she slumped against his body.

"You called for me Ginny, I think that speaks volumes." He said as he nuzzled his face in her hair.

"You wont always be there to save me." She whispered to him.

"Let me be there for you, what did you see?" he questioned as he pulled her back onto the bed, and cuddled her to his chest. He had turned her so that he could look into her eyes.

"Tom," she said as she kept her gaze down at her legs.

"He can't hurt you Ginny." Draco said as he tangled his hand in her hair and pulled her face up to look at him.

"Yes he can! He hurts me mentally! Ever since you came along!" she hissed at him, suddenly feeling furry towards him. He was the reason Tom was back!

She tried to get away from Draco once more, but he held on tight to her. "That's why you act the way you act." His voice softened as he pulled her to him, he brushed his lips against hers.

"Don't try to analyze me, you won't get far!" she hissed as she once again tried to get free of him.

"Don't you see, this is what he wanted for you, a life all by yourself because you are too afraid to let anyone in close enough!" Draco said and nuzzled against her again. "Stay with me." He said as he brushed his lips against her neck.

"I can't…"

"I'll sleep next to you every night," he said as he pulled away from her. "He doesn't visit you when I'm next to you."

Ginny shook agreeing with Draco, anytime she was sleeping next to him Tom didn't invade her mind.

"Stay," he said softly as he looked into her eyes.

Ginny nodded, and began to pull her jeans off, "Don't make me regret this!" she said as she settled into the bed, and Draco came and lay next to her.

Soon Draco was asleep wrapped around her, but Ginny didn't dare close her eyes, she was too afraid that Draco had been wrong about Tom not visiting her when she was sleeping next to Draco.

Draco's body was so hot next to hers, and she untangled herself from him, and wiggled away from him, if she couldn't sleep tonight, at least she'd let him have some sleep.

Ginny lay there, her eyes fixed to Draco's ceiling. She hadn't moved away from him for less then thirty seconds, and she could feel his hands searching for her.

When he touched her arm, he lifted his head off his pillow, and took a better hold of her and pulled her back against his body, and without a word he let his head fall on the pillow and he continued his sleep.

He had looked for her in his sleep; he had sensed that she had moved away from him. As hot as it was pressed up against his body she stayed there, a silly smile playing on her lips.

"I'll kill you if you touch her!" Draco mumbled in his sleep, and she let herself close her eyes, and let the dream world take her.

Ginny stood in a meadow she was surrounded by pink cheery blossom trees. She raised her hands as she stretched her back and inhaled the sweet scent that the trees where emitting.

She smiled as she turned around to see what was behind her. More pink trees, and a black figure was leaning against one of the trees. Ginny squinted her eyes against the bright sun, as she tried to see who it was.

Ginny didn't feel scared, as the figure began to move, and as he came into the light, his bright blond hair shone around him like a halo. "Draco," she breathed a sigh of relief.

"This must be your dream, because I sure as hell would never dream up pink trees." He said as he neared her. He had a smirk playing on his lips, and as he wrapped his arms around her, she felt his heat.

"You look like an Angel." Ginny said as she ran a hand through his hair.

"Love, we know I am as far from an Angel as it gets." He said as he dipped his head to place a soft kiss on her lips.

"No," Ginny shook her head. "I think you're my Angel." A smile spread over his face at her words.

"For you, I'll be anything you need." Draco whispered as he began to lower them down into the soft grass. He lay on his back, and she snuggled into his side.

"Am I just dreaming, or are you really part of this dream?" She asked as she strained her neck to look at him.

"Love, I doubt I would ever think up pink trees." Draco said with a smirk as he looked around them surrounded by pink.

"They are cherry blossoms." Ginny corrected him.

"Alright, either way, I would not dream of pink trees…I think our subconscious somehow found each other." Draco said as he shifted to his side to look at her more closely.

Ginny lifted her hand and placed it gently on Draco's cheek. "You are one beautiful man!" she breathed as her eyes took his beautiful face in. His eyes bored into her, he always had that effect on her, with one look he could make her feel like she was the only person on the earth besides him. "What are you doing to me?" she questioned him.

Draco smiled, "You speak some pretty words there Weasley,"

Ginny smiled at him, and then as her heart began to skip a beat she frowned, her heart seemed to ignite when she was around him. "What's wrong beautiful?" Draco questioned as he tried to smooth out the frown in the brow with this fingertips.

"I…" she began and closed her eyes, "I think I'm falling." She whispered.
