"So, Harry..." Ginny purred, laying her hand on Harry's knee.

He raised his eyebrows.

"I was thinking, since everyone else is out of the house..." Ginny smiled, looking at Harry seductively.

"Luna has to break up with Draco!" Harry blurted out.

She sighed, withdrawing her hand.

"Harry, if they gave out awards for quickest mood-killer you'd win every time..."

"Ginny, I'm serious. He's gonna hurt her."

Ginny shifted on the couch, and flung her red hair over one shoulder.

"Harry, I've told you this. Draco has changed!"

"I don't think he's changed as much as you think he has!"

And Harry proceeded to tell Ginny about Ron and Draco's conversation.

"He said that?" Ginny whispered, even though they were alone.

"Yes. I know Draco's trying to be a better person--but I don't think he's entirely in control of himself yet." Harry answered.

"But at Hogwarts, he was little more than a bully with daddy issues!" Ginny insisted.

"Ginny, he tried to kill Dumbledore!"

"We both know he never would have."

"Katie Bell, Ginny! She proves he's dangerous! He knew it wouldn't reach Dumbledore, he knew there would be other people involved and an accident wasn't his concern. He didn't care whether or not Katie lived or died!"

"I'm sure that's not true."

"Oh that's right, he sent her flowers at St. Mungo's, did he?"

"Harry, you know what I mean! He was doing the only thing he knew to do. He didn't have a choice." Ginny soothed, rubbing Harry's arm.

"Yeah, well, he has a choice this time." Harry replied bitterly.

"Well, let's hope he makes the right one. Right now, the only thing you can do is tell Luna about this. You can't act unless we can prove she's in danger." Ginny said.

"Proof? Remember last time I waited until I had proof to act? Dumbledore died, Ginny!" Harry persisted.

"You know the real story behind that," Ginny said sternly.

"Yes, but he was still a Death Eater, wasn't he?" Harry defended.

"Let me and Hermione talk to her," Ginny said, with an air of finality, and left to go find Hermione.
