I was being shaken awake.

"Ginny! Leave me alone! I don't want to get up yet."

"It's not Weasley." Said a voice that wasn't Ginny's. That made me pop right out of my bed and turn around to see Malfoy's beautiful ugly face.

"What are you doing here?" I was really too tired. "And why did you wake me up this early?" I looked at my watch and saw it was three in the morning. Let's see him make up a good excuse.

"Umm I live here with you Granger." He said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh right. Sorry, I forgot." My face was hot with embarrassment.

"As for why I am waking you up, that's because you were screaming." His voice was calming down.

"Oh." I remembered now. The screaming, the shivering, the pain. "Well thank you I guess. Do you mind if we talk for a bit. I can't go back to sleep."

"Um ok I guess. What do you want to talk about?" I was surprised Malfoy had agreed, so I seized the opportunity.

"Why did you become a death eater?" My question was met by a very long silence. Finally, after five minutes he spoke.

"As I was growing up, I heard all about the death eaters. My mother never wanted to talk about it because she was scared of losing me, but my father's friends talked about it often. They made it seem like a wonderful thing to be so that's what I had wanted to do with my life. I was too young to understand the real pain of it at the time.

"When The Dark Lord came back to power, I was excited. I was finally going to be able to live the dream my parents had lived. When the Dark Lord came back, the name Malfoy had lost a small amount of its success, due to my father giving Weasley the diary. I don't really understand why the Dark Lord freaked at us, but that's done now.

"After my father and Aunt Bellatrix's failure at the Ministry, the Dark Lord became furious with us. He told my parents that I was to take their place as a Death Eater. I was young, I did not understand. It was only when I realized that I actually had to kill Dumbledore that I started to falter. It was harder than I thought it was going to be. The night that Dumbledore died I was more scared than I had ever been in my life. Except for the night Bellatrix tortured you. Killing is harder than you'd think Granger." He finished what he was going to say so I asked —

"Why did you tell me so much? I only wanted a general idea."

"Sorry Granger." You could tell he was closing up again. "Can I ask you a question now?"

"Yes, I suppose so."

"How did you become friends with Potter and Weasley? Weren't they awful to you in the first year? And even better, how in the world did you fall for Weasley?" He had reacquired his Malfoy smirk.

"They saved me from a troll on Halloween of first year. Then we were friends."

"Really, that was it?" Malfoy was rolling around on the floor laughing.

"Like you have any better friends!" I laughed.

"Actually I do." He retorted.

"Like who?" I was extremely disbelieveing.

"You haven't finished answering my question." He was avoiding my question which meant I had won. I smiled.

"I kissed Ron as a spur of the moment thing. We were friends for years. It was bound to happen eventually." Malfoy looked bored. Then he said —

"Merlin you can be annoying sometimes. How did Weasley ever fall for you?"

"I don't know Malfoy. Maybe you should ask yourself." Ron could sure be a prat sometimes but I didn't want to hear that from Malfoy of all people.

"What!" He looked horrified."I do not like you in that way Granger."

"Really?" I smirked and glanced down at my stomach.

"Granger shut up!" He screamed and I was scared. I kicked him hard in the face and watched blood pour down his face. I felt sort of bad so I threw him his wand. He stopped the bleeding and looked up at me.

"Why would you want to ruin this beautiful face Granger?" He gestured lovingly to his face. "It's a price of art."

"Just shut up and go back to sleep Malfoy" I said while forcing a yawn.

"Whatever Granger." He layers back down on the floor and went straight to sleep.

I could not fall asleep, so instead I lay there in silence trying to figure out the great mysteries of Draco Malfoy,
