…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Ginny Weasley was not happy. As she boarded the Hogwarts express for the fifth time in her life she decided that something had to be done, she couldn't continue living this way. She stared out the window at the clear sunny day and she knew that this was the year everything was going to change.

She was sick of her life, she was sick of it, no, more precisely she was sick of him: the great all powerful Harry Potter. She hated the way he thought he controlled and owned her. So she was just going to end it, for now and forever. She was going to be free.

She smiled to herself slightly. If she were being honest she would come to turns with the fact that the only reason Harry seemed so horrid was that she was comparing him to someone else. Someone that captured a part of her with his amazing good looks, charm and intelligence, someone who happened to be Slytherin God.

Hopelessly Romantic. That was what her best friend Gabriele often called her, because Ginny Weasley could fall in love in a matter of seconds and fall out of it just as quickly. But Ginny was now certain that her adoration for Draco Malfoy would not seize, that she would love him forever and because of this she had made it her mission to make him love her as well.

OOOOOOO

Gabriele Delacour could have been called determined, she could have been called beautiful or stubborn, or intelligent but she was more often called invincible. The gorgeous fourteen-year-old would win every argument, would fight bravely in every battle and would stand tall at the end, the most glorious warrior.

As Gabriele moved through the compartments of the Hogwarts express she searched for the long flaming red hair of her best friend Ginny Weasley. It wasn't hard to find her and Gabrielle slid open the door of the compartment and came to join Ginny who sat alone.

"Hey" whispered Ginny not looking up from the window.

"What's wrong?"

Ginny turned and looked at her. "I'm taking your advice and I'm dumping him. I mean you're totally right I don't even like him anymore and it's not like he's in love with me"

Gabrielle rolled her eyes and sat down across from her, the usual mysterious sinister smile playing across her face as she said "About time". She disapproved of Harry for two reasons; the boy was incredibly possessive and jealous. She called that the killer combination.

Ginny looked up and her and said in a concerned tone "I've never broken up with anyone. What should I say?"

Gabrielle chuckled at little innocent Ginny and said "Just give him the usual speech, you know, 'It's not you it's me' and all that crap. He'll get the message" she offered.

Ginny sighed. Gabrielle tended to be too cool to care about people's feelings. "I'm just going to say it; I'm not going to beat around the bush"

OOOOOOO

"I want to break up" said as she looked up at Harry. They stood in front of each other in an empty classroom, it was right after dinner and it had taken all her guts to say those five little words.

"What?" he said moving slightly towards her, his vivid green eyes wide with shock.

"I want to break up" she repeated.

"No Ginny" he muttered shaking his head.

"Harry I want to be free"

Harry stood there for a second then wrapped his arms around her waist and said "I love you Ginny"

"Let go of me" she whispered knowing that his declaration was meaningless.

"I love you" he said again.

She rolled her eyes and said "Well I don't love you," as she pushed him away.

He stood there looking at her for a second and then said angrily "is there someone else?"

Oh dear god, thought Ginny as she tried not to look guilty although she had done nothing but dream of Malfoy.

"Who?" he whispered menacingly.

There was a pause, then Ginny said the first name that came to her mind "Gabrielle"

Harry's mouth dropped slightly and he looked down at her his eyebrows scrunched together "Gabrielle Delacour?"

"Who else?" muttered Ginny as she met Harry's eyes. He stepped away from her and suddenly turned around leaving the classroom in a run.

OOOOOOO

Ginny was hurrying up the stairs of the girls' dormitory needing desperately to talk to Gabrielle. She opened the door of their dormitory and stepped right in.

"So how did the break up go" said Gabrielle who was standing in front of a mirror brushing her silvery blond hair.

"I just did something awful" whispered Ginny as she collapsed on the bed.

"Oh dear me, Ginny did something awful" she teased.

"I'm serious"

"What happened?" And so Ginny told her the whole thing. "That's not awful Gin, it just complicates things a bit"

"Will you please help me?" she said as she looked at Gabrielle who was sitting on the foot of her bed.

"What do you mean?" said Gabrielle narrowing her eyes.

Ginny sighed and said "All you have to do is pretend we're dating". Gabrielle stood still for a second watching her friend, "Oh come on! You're a great actress just pretend this is some weird play"

"I'll do it" she said calmly. "But why do we need to pretend were dating?"

Ginny closed her eyes "So that Harry won't be bugging me and I concentrate on getting Malfoy to fall in love with me" she said.

"Speaking of Malfoy what do you suppose he'll think of all this?"

Ginny groaned "I didn't even think about that. But I don't care anything to get rid of the Potter problem"

OOOOOOO

I really hope you liked it. I'll probably be posting more in a few of days because of the wonder of March break
