Summary: During his sixth year at Hogwarts, Draco balances on a knife's edge of danger, at constant risk of losing his footing and falling into an abyss of darkness. He can't trust anyone at all... or can he? When it comes to Ginny Weasley, he's determined to find out.
Chapter TEN quote of the day:
“Ginny, I didn’t lure you here for some underhanded reason,” he said, stroking the hand under his, glad that she didn’t pull away from him. “I swear I didn’t. I just… I wanted to be with you for a little while, someplace where nobody could find us. I think..” He hesitated, and then confessed the truth. “Ginny, I think I wanted to tell you these secrets all along.”
“Maybe.” Her mouth quirked up. “But you could have told me at the very start that this was your grandfather’s lodge, you know.”
“I should have done,” he admitted. “Honesty is not a Malfoy trait, Ginny.”
She rolled her eyes. “As if I really needed to be reminded of that.”
He enclosed her hand in his, feeling her small, strong fingers. “But I’ve told you the truth about everything now. You do believe me, don’t you?”
“Yes,” she sighed, moving back against the headboard, bringing him with her so that they were seated more comfortably. “I wish I didn’t. I wish I thought you were only lying, or even bragging, trying to make yourself sound more important than you are. But I know you told the truth.”
