All the characters belong to J.K. Rowling except the ones I added.

Chapter One: Sneaky Plans

Draco stared at Ginny from across the room. She had been put in sixth year potions because she was far to advanced for fifth year. Even though Snape didn't approve of it, especially because she was a Gryffindor, Dumbledore thought it was a great idea.

After a long lecture and a few homework assignments, class was dismissed. Ginny left with Hermoine, giggling about something. Ron and Harry walked right behind them talking about the upcoming ball.

Draco was determined to go with Ginny, even though she was a Weasley and a fifth year. He also knew that she was still into Harry. But, he knew that Harry didn't like her so he figured there would hardly be a chance for them to go together. Knowing that one of his closest friends, Marina, liked Harry, he came up with a plan.

Back in the Gryffindor common room, Hermoine and Ginny were discussing the ball. 'Hermoine I really want to go with Harry, but I know he won't go with me so there is no point in asking.' 'You never know, he could like you. You should just ask him. I've been trying to ask Ron for so long, but I'm too afraid of being rejected so I can't even imagine asking him.' 'You know I could ask him for you, I'm his sister so' 'That's exactly why you can't ask him' Hermoine interrupted 'You are his sister and my best friend so if you ask him if he likes me he will definitely know that I like him, which is exactly what I don't want him to know. And anyway, I think he is into Marina. She is a beautiful Slytherin and a year older. If he asks her and she agrees to go with her, there will be no chance whatsoever for me.' 'Well, get Harry to ask him. You know they are always talking about that kind of thing so if he doesn't know already he could get it out of him.' 'That's what I'll have to do." Hermoine replied as her way out the door to find Harry.

Draco went into the Slytherin common room with one thought on his mind, his plan to get Ginny to go to the dance with him. He knew that Ron liked Marina, he had seen him write her name all over his books in class, but Marina liked Harry. If he could only get Marina to ask Harry and Harry agree to go with her, then he ruined Ginny's chance with Harry and Ron's with Marina. It was a perfect plan; he only had to get Marina to do it. She had many guys all over her for dates to the dance. Seeing she wasn't there, he went out to look for her.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron were in the empty classroom Ron usually went into when Hermoine showed up and started banging on the windows. 'Harry, I really need to talk to you. Please, just one minute.' 'Umm, sure' They went out into the empty hallway and Hermoine shut the door behind them. She just started to tell her story when someone crept through the shadows listening to their every word.

Draco couldn't believe his luck. This was the first time her ever went down the deserted hallway and he ends up finding Potter and Granger in a deep conversation about Ron and the ball. He stood in the shadows so they couldn't see him and listened. Anything he could possibly know could help him get Ginny. After ten minutes of sitting there he went back to the Slytherin common room and got on his laptop and signed on.

Ginny sat in the common rooms and took out her potions homework. When she came into the class she hadn't realized how hard it could be. It took her twice as long as normal to do all the work. She decided to take a break and get on the laptop her father had gotten her and Ron to use while away at school. She signed in and went straight into the chat rooms. They interested her the most because this was where a lot of muggles went to talk and they were from all over. All of a sudden she got a message from someone. Usually this never happened because she never talked, but she accepted the message anyway. She froze though when she looked at it. There in red writing were the words 'Hello there Ginny'. She never gave her screen name to anyone.

After ten minutes Harry and Hermoine went back in the room where Ron was sitting with an interested look on his face. He was curious to know what was going on with his friends. Harry had promised Hermoine he would meet her in the room at nine o'clock that night with everything he knew about Ron. A very nervous Hermoine left to go to the library. She needed to sit down and calm down. She was so deep in thought she didn't notice the beautiful Slytherin girl following right behind her.
