Disclaimer: I own the plot...
Summary: Draco fails his N.E.W.T.S. miserably and is forced to repeat, but is kicked out of his home. He goes back to Hogwarts and restarts 7th year. But he starts to notice a girl and the girl starts to notice him. He could never have had her, but he can now. Will Draco take the opportunity? You'll have to read.
Also features main Hermione parts as well as Harry, Ron and Hedwig (well, letters have to travel some way!)
A note to all readers! These are the ships for this story!
Ginny/Draco, Ron/Susan Bones, Harry/Mandy Brocklehurst (was she a Ravenclaw or Slytherin?), Padma/Justin Finch-Fletchey, Parvati/Seamus Finnigan and finally, Lavender/Neville. Hermione makes quite a few appearances but as yet, has no boyfriend because I couldn't think of any other male counterpart (and I am not putting her with Fred or George Weasley!)

Dear Harry,
I'm sorry but I don't think we are made for one another. We need to see other people and I need to be able to be free. I'm sorry Harry, very sorry. I love you so much but I can't continue.
Ginny
Harry read with tears in his eyes. Ginny was gone. She had been in his grasp, but had slipped. He cursed then ran up the stairs of the Burrow to tell Ron. He knew it was his fault. She should have been here but had decided to spend time with Hermione over the holidays. He should have noticed and begged her to stay. But he hadn't.
"She what!" Ron yelled when he found out. He had heard wedding bells with that pair, had always figured them together. When they got together in 6th year, Ron had been beaming. But now...
"It doesn't matter, Ron. Now I can find other beauties!" Harry tried cheerfully. Ron smiled weakly and decided to Floo to Diagon Alley. He needed a Butterbeer and some wizard world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"Ding dong! Ding dong!" the doorbell rang. Hermione called she was coming whilst sliding on a top and pulling her hair into a ponytail. Unlocking all the locks and latches she flung it open. Her face paled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"I can't believe it! I just can't believe it!" Ron muttered an hour later.
"Just shut up, Ron!" Harry yelled. The Leaky Cauldron silenced at Ron scowled angrily. Harry frowned and they continued on more subdued.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"Who is it Hermione?" Ginny called down the stairs. Hermione opened and closed her mouth, stumped.
"It isn't Voldemort, is it?" she responded to her own question. A chuckle left the mouth of the person on her doorstep even though he was near collapse.
"What are you doing here?" Hermione hissed.
"I've been kicked out and needed a place where my father wouldn't come looking," Draco replied calmly. His mouth stank of alcohol while his clothes were blood stained and blotched with liquor. In his hand he held a beer bottle that he took sips out of constantly.
"Go anywhere else but here."
"Well, Harry was next," he smirked. Hermione rolled her eyes and pulled him inside.
"Hermione?" Ginny asked, plodding down the stairs. "Draco? Huh?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Harry and Ron had so many Butterbeers that soon they were drunk and singing campfire songs, to the dismay of all the wizards and witches in the pub.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"So, you failed your N.E.W.T.S. and got kicked out. How'd you fail your N.E.W.T.S.?"
"Voldemort hates failers, he likes people with brains. By failing, I didn't become a Death Eater."
Hermione began to see what he had been planning.
"You don't want to be Death Eater? So you failed deliberately?" she asked.
He shook his head. "Never have, never will, no desire."
With a sudden crash, the front door opened and Hermione, Ginny and Draco jumped.

A/N: For the next few chapters it is just setting the scene.
This will be a Ginny/Draco story so prepare for something different!
Plus, it will never be a high rating but it will include kisses and sexy kind of language. Until next time!
