A/N: I like Malfoy. I like Ginny. What more is there to say?
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, no matter how much I esteem them.
Mostly Malfoy, though. If he were real, I would keep him in my closet, and
thank heaven for duct tape.

Ginny woke up and looked into her mirror. The reflection of the head girl of Hogwarts stared back at her.
It was the very last day of summer holidays. She was going back to school today and even though she seemed to be doing great (after all, she *was* head girl), she was worried.
It was the only year that she was to spend at Hogwarts without one or two brothers there with her. What if there was another Chamber of Secrets? What if there was another Sorcerer's Stone? There always seemed to be some sort of unforeseen danger at school and without Ron, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, or Percy there, the responsibility fell to her. Ginny had plenty of burdens already. She was head girl, on the Quidditch team, and in advanced potions class. With all her brothers, Harry, and Hermione gone, it seemed she also had to solve a mystery, battle a dark lord, or fight a dragon.
She also had no idea who the head boy was. What if they didn't get along?
Draco Malfoy woke up and looked in the mirror. The reflection of the head boy at hogwarts stared back at him.
It was the very last day of summer holidays, and even though he seemed to be doing great (after all, he*was* head boy), he was worried.
All of his friends had already graduated. When he caught mononucleosis last year (A/N: mono), his parents had refused to let him get Muggle treatment, so he had to repeat his seventh year. What would he do without Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy? Sure he had all the Slytherins that liked him so much due to his jokes about Potter, but he would have to find a new victim fast to keep*those* followers.
He also had no idea who the head girl was. What if they didn't get along?
As soon as Ginny stepped onto the train, she started looking for Luna Lovegood. She poked her head into every cart she passed and asked if she was there. On about the fifth cart, she found none other than Draco Malfoy.
"Draco?" she said, she knew him mostly as Ron's enemy, so she didn't really hate him.
"Ginny Weasley," he stated, "I'd forgotten that there was *another* one of you."
"Is that a head boy badge?!" she exclaimed. "But how- I thought you graduated!"
"I was sick and I have to repeat the year, Weasley, it's not rocket science, you know," drawled Malfoy (the various Slytherins in the cart sniggered). "Wait a second, you're head girl?!"
"I trust we'll be seeing each other again soon then, Draco," she responded haughtily and, with a flip of her hair, was out the door. Okay, now she hated him.
When Draco stepped onto the Hogwarts express, he soon found a cart of Slytherins who he had never met but knew him well. He was just finished explaining why he hadn't graduated when the last remaining Weasley poked her head in.
"Draco?" she asked, apparently, she knew him too.
"Ginny Weasley," he replied. "I'd forgotten there was another one of you."
"A head boy badge?" she asked quizzically. "But how- I thought you had graduated!"
How many times was he going to have to repeat this story? "I was sick and I have to repeat the year, Weasley, it's not rocket science, you know!" said Malfoy, trying to sound as clever as possible, which was easy, apparently, since all the wizards seated in the cart sniggered. "Wait a second, you're head girl!?"
"I trust we'll be seeing each other again soon then, Draco," she said and she was gone. He had his new victim.
When Ginny found Luna, they settled into a cart together.
"Wow, head girl, that's great, Ginny."
"Thanks, how was your summer?"
"It was wonderful! Daddy brought me to Scotland (he was investigating some Muggle myth, the lochness monster) and the scenery was beautiful, how about you, Ginny?"
"It was nice, Fred and George let me help them develop cheat charm resistant quills for their shop."
They were interrupted by the sweet cart lady (Luna got a chocolate frog and bag of Every Flavor Beans for each of them) and they spent the rest of the ride trying to figure out if they would be able to get cheat charm resistant quills in the mail without getting caught. Then, finally, the train pulled in at Hogwarts.
Draco spent most of the ride imitating Ginny's look of surprise that he was there and picked out his favorite few new seventh years from the bunch.
