Bittersweet Lullaby

After spending her whole summer haunted by what happened the months before - being used by Lord Voldemort to open the Chamber of Secrets, thus putting other students' lives in danger and almost dying herself -, Ginny has one simple wish regarding her second year at Hogwarts: for it to be normal. However, her over-protective family and friends soon prove to be an obstacle to her freedom and independence.
Determined to prove everyone, including herself, that she does not need to be taken care of - and maybe, in a lesser extent, to upset Ron - Ginny decides to take on an extracurricular, a decision made by her rather than for her. Little does she know at that there is just one other student taking violin lessons - and that student is no other than Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy is the same cocky, arrogant, sarcastic guy she has met and heard about before. But as time goes by, she realizes that they have more in common than she would have initially thought - they both have something to prove the world.
