As soon as Draco Apparated to his bedroom, Ginny toppled to the floor and started laughing.

"SHHHH! You need to be quiet, Ginny," he said to her before he ran over to his door and closed it.

He ran back to her side and helped her up onto the couch.

"Stay right here, I'll grab you some water, then you need to sleep some of this off," he told her, even though he was pretty sure she wasn't hearing a damn thing he was saying.

He went into his bathroom and filled up a cup with some water and then made his way over to the closet and grabbed an extra pillow and blanket for Ginny. He made his way back over to the couch to see she wasn't there anymore. After scanning the room real quick, he saw his bedroom door was open again.

"Fuck," he growled out in frustration before running from the room and looking down the hall for her. "Where the hell did you go?" he said out loud as he made his way downstairs.

He heard a loud bang in the kitchen and quickly ran down the hall and found Ginny rummaging through the cabinets.

"Ginny, what the fuck are you doing? You need to be quiet, my parents are sleeping and if-"

"RELAX!" she yelled out. "I'm just looking for a snack," she shrugged as she ripped the fridge open. "WOW! That's a lot of food," she giggled.

"How about we go back upstairs and I'll find you a nice snack, but you need to stay quiet," he whispered to her as he started to drag her from the kitchen.

She stopped following him and he turned to look at her and she pushed him against the counter and snaked her arms around his neck. "I could always just snack on you," she smirked before she pulled him by the collar down to meet her lips.

Draco was completely caught off guard by the kiss and everything in him wanted to throw her up on the counter and take complete advantage of her. Her kisses were hard and fierce and she had a firm grip on his shirt as she held him close to her. He suddenly pulled away and grabbed her hands and pushed her back.

"Ginny, you have to get back upstairs, you're completely wasted right now," he told her as he kept pushing her hands away from trying to kiss him again.

She just started laughing again and then she was even louder as she fell into a fit of giggles. Draco grabbed her arm and started dragging her out into the hall and again she made an advance on him, this time she tried to slide her hand in his pants.

"Gin-Ginny, stop it...you need to-"

Her lips were on him again, but he knew everything about this moment was wrong and he pushed her away once more. She fell to the floor and started laughing uncontrollably.

"You know what would be hilarious?" she laughed.

He squatted down beside her. "What's that?"

She started laughing once more before she found her voice again. "If your father cut his hair," she whispered before she erupted into another round of laughter.

Draco just shook his head and grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. "Yeah, why don't you suggest that to him in the morning and still see if it's as funny."

"Draco? What the hell is going on?" came Lucius' voice from down the hall, his wand tightly in his hand and Narcissa close behind him.

"Uh-"

"What happened to you? Where have you been, it's nearly five in the morning...is-is that liquor I smell?" his mother asked as she walked closer to him and quickly sniffed him. "Dammit, Draco, you smell like a drunk and why are you all wet?" she sounded outraged by the state he was in.

"Oh, we went to the beach," Ginny giggled.

Narcissa just glared at her and took in the Weaslette's current state. "Why the hell is she here?"

"I'm sorry, we just went to a party and had a few drinks, its fine, she's just going to sleep it off on the couch, right, Ginny?" he said, turning to look at her. "Where the fuck did she go?" he asked, seeing that she somehow walked off again.

Narcissa nodded to the staircase behind them. "You better go help her before she falls and cracks her head open and believe me...I'll be the one laughing. Get her to a guest room and let her sleep it off and we will discuss this further tomorrow," she said coldly.

He just nodded and quickly turned to catch up with Ginny, who was barely able to make it up the first step.

Narcissa turned around to face Lucius, who looked just as bewildered as she did by finding Draco and Ginny in their current condition. "Yeah, that's right...that's your son right there," she said, throwing her hands up in the air as she started mumbling under her breath as she went back to bed.

Lucius just gave a heavy sigh and followed his wife back to their bedroom.

Draco finally caught up with Ginny and was literally dragging her all the way to his room, but she kept laughing and making her body go completely limp. He finally gave up on dragging her and scooped her up in his arms and carried her the rest of the way. He tossed her on his bed and she just sat there quietly on the edge of the mattress with her legs hanging over the side. He noticed her sudden silence and walked closer to her.

"You should get some rest," he said.

"Did you have a good time tonight?" she asked, looking up at him.

He thought about what she had asked and he would be lying if he said he didn't have one of the best nights of his life in a long time. "The best," he said with a small smile.

She scooted closer to the edge of the bed until her body was against his as he stood in front of her. She grabbed his now loose, wrinkled tie and pulled him down to eye level before pulling him to her lips. Again, he knew it was wrong to let her continue kissing him like this, but when he felt her lean her body into his he couldn't help but grab her face with one hand to pull her closer to his. He was standing between her parted legs as she sat on the bed and he slid his hands behind her legs and pulled her against his now hard cock. He wanted nothing more than to pull her dress up and rip her panties off and just fuck her into oblivion and at one point he thought he would, but something stopped him. He suddenly pulled away and turned his head to the side table next to the couch where he once had his file, before Harry made him hand it over last night after dinner. He still felt Ginny trailing kisses all over his neck and face and he gave a soft sigh before continuing to kiss her once more.

He suddenly felt Ginny start to unbutton his pants and he quickly grabbed her hands and stopped her. "Hey, you need to sleep this off," he whispered against her face.

She just gave a wide smile and then a soft laugh before she threw herself back on the bed letting her hair sprawl all across it.

She just looked at him and rubbed his upper leg with her foot. "Are you sure you don't want to fuck me, Draco?" she seductively teased him with a smile.

He just smirked at her. "Not like this."

"But we're just having a bit of fun. Isn't that what tonight is all about?" she said, before wrapping her legs around him and pulling him forward onto her.

He lost his balance against the bed and fell forward on top of her and caught himself with his hands on either side of her. She slid her hands around his waist and pulled him down onto her as she entangled one of her legs with his. Ginny rocked her hips against him as her body begged him to take advantage of her and as tempting as it was, he pulled her hands off him and quickly got up. He wasn't sure why, but he suddenly became angry with her by her constant advances that he had to keep rejecting.

"I'm going to sleep on the couch," he snapped. "GO TO FUCKIN BED, GINNY!" he yelled, before walking into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.

He turned the water on and splashed his face a few times before looking himself over in the mirror. Not only did he have the stench of booze all over him, but now he couldn't smell anything else but Ginny's scent and he quickly undressed and got into the shower. He wasn't sure if he was angry at her or himself for allowing himself to be affected the way he had been by the redhead in the other room. He scrubbed himself down from head to toe just thinking about how close he was to taking advantage of her. He wasn't exactly sure why this time was different than the other two times they had been intimate. The other times it had been just sex, just something to get their minds off all the bullshit, but now... he had a whole new way of thinking when it came to Ginny. He felt a tremendous amount of guilt by even having any kind of love for another woman other than Astoria.

He stepped out of the shower and got dressed and made his way back into his bedroom where he found Ginny face down on his bed fast asleep; her arm hanging off the side. He walked over to her and gently picked her arm up and placed it back on the bed and then covered her with the blanket. He couldn't help but watch her sleep for a moment before he finally threw himself down on the couch and fell asleep.

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

Draco woke up the next morning with a pounding headache; he would have rather thrown his guts up than have to endure the throbbing pain in his head. He managed to pull himself up off the couch and took a quick glance over to Ginny, who was apparently not there at all. He assumed she must have had to get back home and left earlier.

He made his way downstairs to grab some water and the smell of food started hitting his nose. He was confused for a moment because his parents almost never had breakfast made and he immediately thought of Ginny. He picked up his pace and went to make his way towards the kitchen when he stopped by the dining room where his parents were sitting. His father was reading the paper and his mother was doing the same and they were both still in pajamas which was the most surprising thing about this whole morning. His parents always made sure they were dressed and ready for the day before they ever stepped out of their bedroom in the morning.

"Uh, what's going on?" he asked them.

"Good morning, Draco, it seems your new girlfriend wanted to make breakfast this morning. She was even nice enough to bang on our bedroom door to let us know it would be ready shortly," Lucius drawled, as he put the paper down and looked at Draco with a sarcastic smile.

"She's not my girlfriend," he snapped.

His mother just looked at him over her paper, "She's in the kitchen showing Tilly how to properly make french toast," she drawled, before turning the page.

"This is so fucking weird," he said, taking a seat at the table and holding his head in his hands.

Narcissa noticed his head was hurting and took her wand and tapped him harder than she needed to on his head to help his hangover.

"Ouch!" he sneered at her, as he rubbed the back of his head.

"You're welcome, although after last night I should make you suffer," she said, before bringing the paper back up over her face.

"Thanks," he mumbled. He continued to watch them for a moment, "Why aren't you dressed and...and...I don't know, since when do we have breakfast-"

"And since when do we have a Weasley sleeping over and coming and going whenever she pleases?" Narcissa shrugged. "She wants to cook, let her...I can use a change this morning." she decided.

"Who are you people?" he said before he got up and made his way into the kitchen.

He stood in the doorway and just watched her for a moment as she was in deep conversation with the house elf. She suddenly looked up and caught him looking at her and she just gave a bright smile.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Fine, I guess...the question is how are YOU feeling? You drank a LOT last night," he said, taking a seat at the counter.

"I know, I'm sorry if I was too crazy for you," she laughed. "I normally don't drink that much, but it was all in good fun. What did you think about Pristine Point?"

"It was...it was amazing, I did forget for a few moments that my life is a living hell," he said, grabbing a piece of bacon off the plate in front of him.

Ginny just smirked at him. "Sorry I tried to rape you last night," she suddenly started laughing.

He couldn't help but give a soft laugh also. "Yeah, it was harder than you think not to go through with it," he said.

She just looked at him. "Why didn't you? It would have just been for fun," she said with a playful smile.

He just locked eyes with her for a moment and then cleared his throat. "So, looks like breakfast is just about done, I'll...uh...meet you in the dining room," he quickly said, before getting up and walking out of the kitchen.

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

After breakfast and Ginny doing a tremendous amount of talking, Draco's parents excused themselves after they realized she wouldn't be stopping any time soon. Draco couldn't help but just watch her talk the entire time, she had so much energy and character, it was amusing to him to see the way she spoke to his parents. She was not intimidated by them and definitely not scared to say what was on her mind. She would speak to them as if they were best friends catching up and he knew it made his parents feel that much more uncomfortable.

"So, I was thinking...maybe you could actually give me a proper tour of this magnificent place you call home?" Ginny suggested, as she made her way down a hallway she'd never been before.

"You mean you didn't do enough exploring last night?" he teased her.

She just giggled, "Come on, show me around...do you need a map or something, I don't want us to get lost," she said, playfully slapping him on the arm.

"Ha. Ha," he said sarcastically. "Why don't you just lead the way and I'll follow," he said holding his hand out for her to go ahead.

"Oh, an even better idea," she said excitedly before she started making her way down the hall to the next door.

"That would be my father's office," Draco quickly said before she could open it.

"Oh, yeah, don't want to go in there," she laughed, as she thought about how pissed Lucius would be if he knew Draco let her in there. "Ooooh, what about in here?" she said coming up to a pair of double doors.

"It's a ballroom, for parties and shit that we obviously don't have anymore," he sighed.

She looked at him for a moment with a sad smile and then opened the doors to reveal a very dark and dusty room. There were sheets over most of the furniture and cobwebs everywhere.

"Geez, yeah, there's definitely been nothing going on in here for a while," her voice echoed throughout the room.

She closed the door and started walking to the next room over which was another set of double doors. She opened them to reveal another dusty, filled room but saw it was a music room. She stepped into the room and her eyes went to a grand piano in the middle of it being lit up by a few rays of sunlight from the window.

"Wow, you guys have all of this stuff? Does anyone in your family even play an instrument?" she scoffed.

Draco just gave a small smirk and walked over to the piano and dragged his hand along a few keys, "I do...well I used to play the piano," he shrugged.

"You? Draco Malfoy plays the piano?" Ginny laughed in surprise.

"Eh, it was nothing magnificent," he waved his hand at her.

She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face by the news of Draco's hidden talent. "Play something for me?" she asked him.

"Oh, uh, I don't think so."

Ginny grabbed a sheet off a nearby chair that was covered up and dusted off the seat of the piano and then the keys. "Come on," she said, sitting down on one end of the bench and patting the other side for him to sit.

Draco just stared at her, how the hell did she keep pulling him in like this. "Alright," he said taking a seat. "This may not be the best," he smirked, before pretending to crack his knuckles, making Ginny giggle.

He started off a bit rusty and had to restart once or twice, but he eventually found his niche and started playing with hardly any mistakes.

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

Narcissa was making her way downstairs when she heard noise coming from down one of the halls. She raised an eyebrow at the sound since nobody had been down this way for quite some time and she started walking towards it. She soon realized it was the sound of a piano from the music room and she quietly walked up outside of the door and peeked inside to see it was Draco and Ginny.

She stood in the hall with her back against the wall as she listened to her son continue to play. She couldn't help but become a bit emotional by him being inside of this particular room because the last time he played was for Astoria. Ever since she was killed, he hadn't been in there because of the many memories they shared in it. She suddenly realized just how much Ginny must mean to him for him to even enter the room at all.

Tears began to sting her eyes and she quickly covered her mouth as she slid down the wall to the floor into a silent fit of sobs. She felt so helpless in these past few years when it came to helping Draco deal with all of the suffering he had been through. She knew it was all due to Ginny's efforts to try and befriend him and get him out and drag him to every outing she went on; that was when he started to have some sort of life again.

After a few minutes she heard him stop playing and she quickly wiped her face clear of any tears and emotion and got up and walked away.

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

As Ginny watched Draco play she couldn't take her eyes off him, especially his face. She felt somewhat flattered that he agreed to play at all for her and the way he played seemed to have so much emotion behind it. She felt a sudden flutter in her stomach as he took a quick glance at her as he played and she couldn't help the smile that started to form.

She never thought she would ever be sitting next to Draco Malfoy as he played the piano for her and what surprised her the most was the goosebumps that were covering her body as she listened and watched him. She couldn't help but think of how he made her feel every time he looked at her, every time he touched her, whether on purpose or in passing. She was always looking for some kind of adventure or some sort of adrenaline rush, but being with Draco these past few weeks seemed to have filled all of those needs and she didn't feel like she was constantly trying to fill some void all the time by putting herself in some near-death position.

The realization that she had just fallen in love with Draco Malfoy hit her hard and she suddenly became completely scared by these feelings. Sure, she knew she liked the guy, but love him? She wasn't expecting that and she most certainly wasn't ready to deal with those kind of feelings either.

He had stopped playing and just looked at her. "That's all I got," he shrugged, "It's awful, isn't it?" he scoffed at his own comment.

"It was beautiful, you're very good...I'm impressed," she said with a small smile.

Draco just gave a small laugh. "Well, then it doesn't take much to impress you, I guess."

"Um, listen, I really have to get going," she said abruptly, as she stood up and started walking towards the door. "I forgot I was supposed to do this thing with my mum, uh...I'll see you tomorrow after work?" she asked.

"Alright, are you ok?" he asked her by her sudden departure.

"Oh, definitely, I just... I have to go, I plan on grabbing my file tomorrow, so that should be quite eventful," she smirked, before heading to the front doors with him behind her.

He felt his stomach turn at her comment, he didn't have the heart to tell her that he told Harry about the files. He knew he had to mention to Harry that Ginny was there when Gregory Pines took his own life because he knew Harry would never let anything happen to her...well he hoped that was the case.

Ginny stopped outside of the front door and looked at him with a small smile. "I had fun last night."

"Yeah, it was...definitely something I won't forget for a while," he said with a smirk.

She gave a light giggle. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." She gave a small wave and quickly made her way through the wards and Apparated back home.

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

Ginny had just gotten out of the shower and changed and was in the middle of brushing her hair when her mother knocked on her door. She mumbled a quick "come in" and waited for her mum's lecture. Instead of her yelling or waving her finger at her, she just sat on Ginny's bed and gave a soft sigh.

"You didn't come home last night...again," her mum said in a soft voice.

Ginny turned in her chair to look at her. "I'm sorry, Mum," she said in a small voice.

They were both quiet for a moment. "Were you with Draco?"

Ginny looked at her mother, it almost looked like she was about to cry if Ginny decided to lie to her; it was like she already knew the answer.

"We were at a party with Harry, Ron, and Hermione and then I just crashed at his place," she decided to tell her mum the truth.

Molly didn't say anything, she just gave a slight nod that she understood.

"And no...we did not sleep together if you were wondering," Ginny went on with some amusement in her voice.

"But you have?" Molly asked.

"Mum, why does it matter? Isn't that my business? What is it with you? Is this because you want me to be with Harry?" Ginny asked, her anger suddenly rising.

"That's not what I said, Ginny."

"You don't have to say it, I know that's what you want, you THINK you know what's best for me and it's NOT Harry!"

"AND WHY NOT?" Molly yelled suddenly as she grew angry with her.

"BECAUSE HARRY ISN'T THE ONE I'M IN LOVE WITH!" she yelled out.

As soon as she heard herself say those words, she cupped her hand over her mouth as she realized what she just said and then turned away from her mother.

Molly felt all her anger disappear by Ginny's comment and she walked over to her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Ginny, are you in love with Draco Malfoy?" she softly asked.

Ginny was quiet for a while. "Yes," she finally whispered. She suddenly turned to face her mum once more. "I think, but it doesn't matter, I'm just going to wait for these silly feelings to go away," she quickly said, waving her hand to show it wasn't anything her mum needed to be concerned about.

"Why are they silly? If you love someone, then those are genuine emotions and feelings, there is nothing silly at all about that," she said grabbing Ginny's face in her hands.

"But, Mum...Draco will NEVER feel that way about me, I'm sure you're aware of his past, it's absolutely ridiculous of me to even think this way about him," she said angrily, shaking her head at how stupid she felt.

"But, Ginny-"

"NO! Just please leave me alone, honestly, none of this even matters, and don't you even think about saying anything to Dad or Harry," she demanded.

Her mother just nodded and decided to give Ginny her space as she left her bedroom. Ginny ran her hands through her hair in frustration and gave out a growl of frustration.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, you stupid twit," she mumbled to herself.

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

Ginny arrived at work the next day with her head in a whirlwind, she tried so hard to keep her mind off of the blond Slytherin, but her heart wasn't letting that happen. She walked into Harry's office to find him sitting at his desk with a rather angry look on his face.

"Hey, Harry, is something wrong?" she asked, taking a seat in front of him.

He looked at her, his expression was unreadable. "Where is it?" he asked her.

She just looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Where is what?"

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME, GINNY! YOUR FILE, WHERE IS IT?" he yelled, slamming his fists on his desk making her jump.

"What file?" she asked, shocked by the fact that he even mentioned it in front of her.

"I KNOW YOU KNOW THERE'S A FILE ON YOU, WHERE IS IT, IT'S GONE!" he yelled once more.

"I don't have it, I-"

"STOP LYING TO ME, GINNY, I KNOW YOU HAVE IT BECAUSE DRACO TOLD ME YOU WERE PLANNING TO STEAL IT!" he screamed at her, standing up from his desk.

Ginny felt like she had been punched in the gut when he said that, the hurt expression was obvious on her face and Harry seemed to have noticed this. He sat back down and let out a hard sigh before he looked at her once more.

"Where is it, Ginny?"

She looked at him with such malice he thought she would jump over the desk and attack him at any moment. "I don't have it, I was going to try and take it today, but... apparently you've done a great job at hiding it," she hissed at him before getting up and started for the door and then stopped and turned back to him. "Why? Why do you have a file on me, Harry? What are you hiding?"

His heart sank at the hurt in her voice. "Ginny, it's just a file on stuff from the Chamber of Secrets and from after the war, that's all," he explained.

She just shook her head. "Then why can't I get my medical files released from St. Mungo's? Why are you and my father the only two that can get them?" she snapped.

He was caught off guard by how much more she knew. "I-I don't know why you can't get them and why the hell would you even go looking for that?"

She walked back up to him and glared at him. "I know you're lying to me... and I'm going to find out what's in that file-"

"Is this a bad time?" came a voice from the doorway.

They both turned to see Will standing there.

"Sorry, I was just bringing these files back that I needed earlier, Mr. Potter," he said, placing them down on his desk. "Hey, Ginny," he said.

She just gave him a quick, annoyed smile and then her eyes went right to the pile of files he had just placed down. Her file was sitting right there on top and Harry followed her gaze to it.

"Go ahead, open it," he said.

She just looked at him, her stomach suddenly in knots as she reached forward and grabbed it. She opened it and studied the few pages that were inside and to her disbelief, Harry was telling the truth.

"What?" she said to herself.

"I told you," he said to her.

She threw the file at him and quickly left the office.

Harry gave a hard sigh as Will watched the entire scene unfold, Will picked up Ginny's file and opened it up and waved his wand over it revealing the rest of the pages that were in there.

"Thanks, for doing that for me" Harry mumbled, before taking the file back from him.

"No problem, but do you think she bought it?"

"Well, that's why I had you take the file and conceal the papers, this way it would look like I had no clue it was missing AND it would look like I didn't have time to conceal anything."

Will just nodded. "I don't know, I think she knows something is up."

"Yeah...I think so too," Harry sighed before he grabbed her file and put the concealment charm back on it before placing it back in the cabinet.

"You know she will be devastated when she finds out what's in there," Will said to him.

Harry just plopped down in his chair again and ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "That's exactly why I don't want her to know anything about it and that's IF she finds out," he said.

"Oh...she will, I'm certain of it," Will said before leaving Harry's office.

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

Draco was getting lost in one the many books he had read numerous times in the past when he heard someone enter the wards of the manor. As soon as he heard that sound, he looked at the clock and knew it was too early for Ginny to be here and got up and prepared himself for the argument he knew was coming. He tossed the book aside and got up and opened his door just as Ginny was getting ready to burst through it.

She was completely livid with him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell him about the files," he quickly said before she could go off on him, but of course, it didn't stop her.

"HOW COULD YOU? WHY WOULD YOU? ARE YOU THAT SELFISH? YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED SO FUCK ME NOW?" she yelled at him and gave him a hard shove.

"No, it's not like that, Ginny."

"AT LEAST I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT MINE, YOU HAVE YOURS AND YOU STILL HAVE YET TO EVEN OPEN THE FUCKING THING!" she yelled again, shoving him once more.

"I don't have it anymore, Potter made me give it back to him," he said stiffly.

"OH, EVEN BETTER!" she went to shove him again and he grabbed her arms to stop her.

"GINNY, HE KNOWS ABOUT GREGORY PINES!" he shouted out.

She just looked at him, her eyes wide. "What?"

"He knows that I was there and they found him dead AND my file had been stolen, how do you think that's going to look?" he said, throwing her arms down and then walking over to the couch.

"Pines took his own life, so-"

"So nothing, Potter agreed to cover the whole thing up ONLY because I told him you were with me. That is why I told him about the files and that you took them because I knew he wouldn't do anything that would fall on you," he said, looking at her.

Ginny just looked at him. "So you threw me under the bus to save your own arse?"

"Actually, it was more for your benefit, your hands are all over those files, believe me, if other people got involved, we both would be in Azkaban right now, I did you a favor, Weasley, so chill the fuck out."

She just glared at him and then gave a hard sigh before plopping down on the couch beside him. "Well, nothing matters now, we have no files-"

"Actually," Draco reached over into his side table and pulled out a file that looked exactly like his, "Remember you had trouble replicating my file? Well, before I gave it back to Potter I asked my mother for a favor," he said with a smirk, holding the file up.

Ginny couldn't help but smile at the news, "How did she manage that?"

"Um, hello...she's MY mother, you know she hardly broke a sweat overriding any spells that were on it," he shrugged. "I guess now we need to think of another way to get your file, I'm sure Potter won't have you working for him anymore," he said, giving her an apologetic look.

She just shrugged, "It doesn't matter anymore, I already saw what was in it."

"WHAT? WHEN?" he asked, surprised she didn't lead off with that information.

"This morning when Harry thought I stole it, there's nothing in it...just stuff from the Chamber and statements and shit from the war," she sighed with disappointment, slouching down on the couch.

"And you're upset about that?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

She just looked at him. "I don't know, it just doesn't make sense...these people know who I am AND it still doesn't explain why St. Mungos won't release my medical records to me."

Draco sat there for a moment, he remembered the look on Harry's face when he thought for a second that Ginny had seen what was in her file. There was no way that was the only thing in there.

He shook his head and looked at Ginny. "You're right, it doesn't add up, he must have done something with the rest of the file...when I told him that you knew about your file, it scared the shit out of him. Whatever it is, it's big and I think he's afraid that you're going to get hurt by what's in it," he said in a soft voice as she stared at him.

She suddenly got up. "I need to go back to work."

"Work? Um, I think you're going to be out of a job after today," Draco joked.

"I don't care, I'll do whatever I have to so I can get my hands on my file," she said, making her way out his room.

"What do you mean by "whatever you have to"?" he called out to her.

She just turned and gave him a smirk before walking down the hall.

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

Harry was going through Malfoy's case file when he heard a knock on his door and looked up to see Ginny standing there.

"Oh, look, it's my own little thief, I'm looking at Draco's file right now, did you want to maybe try and slip it out from under me when I turn my back?" he asked sarcastically.

She bit her lip to stop herself from insulting him and then just walked into the office. "I'm sorry, I know that I shouldn't have stolen from you and although my real reasoning for wanting this job was to steal those files...I was hoping you would forgive me and give me a second chance?" she looked at him with hopeful eyes.

He just looked at her with a wide smile. "Absolutely I'll give you your job back, here, why don't you just sit right here and finish going through this file for me. Also, let me open this drawer right here and let you choose which one you want to take home with you tonight. OH, I know, it could be like a library, you could just check out which ones you want to look at-"

"Alright, Harry, I get it," she said, rolling her eyes at his sarcasm. "So I'm out of a job then?"

He looked at her and shook his head, "No, you could still be an assistant," he said.

She gave a small smile, "Really?"

"Yep," he said, before getting up and opening his office door. "MR. CHAMBERLAIN, CAN YOU COME SEE ME FOR A MOMENT," he called out across the hall.

Ginny looked at him and jumped out of her seat. "You're not serious are you?" she asked.

"Yes, Mr. Potter?" came Will's voice as he appeared in the doorway.

"I just wanted to introduce you to your new assistant," he said, nodding towards Ginny.

"Oh, splendid, I have a lot of catching up to do so I could really use the help," Will said happily.

Ginny just glared at Harry, who had a rather pleased smile on his face.

"Shall we get started, then?" Will said, leading the way to his office.

As Ginny followed him she stopped in front of Harry. "I hate you, Harry Potter," she said through clenched teeth.

"And I know how cunning you can be...Ginny Weasley," he said with a smile.

She just glared at him once more before dragging her feet the rest of the way to Will's office.
