Chapter One: "Hiding the Truth"

Ginny Weasley sat under a willow tree, fiddling with her long red locks of hair as she watched the Slytherin Quidditch Practice. Ron had asked her to spy on the team and pick up on their strategy. Although Ginny normally didn't do much for her brother, she didn't mind this time. Ginny had her eye on one particular handsome blonde boy- Draco Malfoy.

Every time on of the Quidditch players looked up, Ginny looked down at her homework and continued working on it. Ginny knew that she was probably very suspicious looking, but she didn't care. By doing this she was getting three things out of it- getting on Ron's good side, finishing her homework, and watching Draco.

Ginny had no idea why she was attracted to him, and of course, nobody knew that Ginny had a crush on Draco. They all assumed she was hung up over Harry Potter. They had only gone out for two weeks, and although Ginny had liked Harry, she only thought of him as a friend now.

It was obvious to Ginny that Harry was after Hermione. They way he looked at her made it obvious. Ron was in love with Hermione as well, though. Ginny smirked. It amused her to watch two best friends go crazy over the same girl. And Hermione, being the clueless, smart girl she was, had no idea what was going on.

Ginny wanted to make sure nobody found out about her crush on Draco, which is why she allowed Ron to pester her about getting back together with Harry. If Ron thought she liked Harry, there was no way Ginny could like Draco.

"It's not like my crush matters anyways," Ginny murmured, feeling depressed, "Draco would never even consider going out with a Weasley. We're too poor to go out with a rich pure blood like himself."

Sighing, Ginny buried her head in her Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook. She hated how she liked someone that she'd never be with. Why couldn't she just like Harry? Everything would have been so much simpler that way.

Ginny looked up from her textbook and realized that Draco Malfoy was heading towards her. His suspicious expression was not at all calming. Ginny panicked. What would she say if he asked why she was there? Ginny was already tongue tied around Draco, but now of all times, did she have to become socially challenged?

"Hey… Malfoy," Ginny managed to blurt out. She silently cursed herself, and took a deep breath. "Good day to be out in the sun, right?"

His eyes bored into hers. "It's cloudy, Weasley."

"Right." Ginny looked up into the sky and realized that there were dark gray clouds above her. "Well, every day is a sunny day at Hogwarts."

Draco smirked. "Don't think I don't know why you're here. That prat, Ronald, sent you. He knows that his pathetic team is going to lose against us this year, and he's decided to play unfairly to win."

Ginny rushed to defend her fellow Gryffindors. "Our Quidditch team has been practicing hard, Draco. We're going to beat you fairly. And no, Ronald didn't send me. I'm here because I feel like working on my homework out in the… uh clouds."

Draco laughed. Ginny's heart sunk in realization that he didn't buy her story. Ron would be so disappointed in her. "Go inside and do your homework, Weasley. Or go snog Potter. Don't waste a perfectly good Saturday afternoon doing homework."

Ginny glared at him. Even Draco Malfoy thought that she liked Harry! This was unbelievable. "For your information, Draco," Ginny gritted through her teeth, "I do not have any interest in Harry."

Draco gave her a small smirk. "So it looks like Ginny can't find a date tonight. Actually, to tell you the truth, I still think you're moping around over Harry. You haven't gone out with a single person since him."

Ginny lowered her gaze. "It's not like I haven't wanted to go out with other people, Malfoy, but you wouldn't understand anyhow."

Draco looked up at her, curious. He looked at Ginny intently. "What wouldn't I understand?"

Ginny sighed. "You could get any girl you want, Draco. You don't have the problem where you like someone, but they don't like you back."

"Ginny I bet you could get any guy. And no, I can't get any girl in this school. Many girls think I'm a snob."

"Like who?" Ginny asked before she could stop herself.

"Like you."

"I don't think you're a snob," Ginny scoffed. Realizing what she had just said, Ginny bit her lip. Draco would find out that she liked him soon enough if she continued to slip like that.

Draco looked at her, interested. "Ginny Weasley, the one that tried to hex me all of last year, doesn't hate me?"

"Sod off, Draco," Ginny answered, standing up. She gathered up her belongings and headed back towards the castle. She had tried her best to get information. Ron would have to live with the little information she was going to give him. That is, unless he was interested in information on Draco. Then Ginny would have plenty to share.

------------------------------

"Classes this year are so much harder," Ron complained, sinking into a chair, "I almost wish Harry had decided to drop school this year. I would have gone with him, no question."

Hermione gave Ron a look. "Honestly, Ron, don't you have any career plans for yourself?"

"Well," Ron started, a playing smile on his face. Hermione didn't even want to listen to what Ron said next. "I do plan to get married to a super hot girl. Does that count?"

Hermione scoffed and stood up. She walked out of the room leaving Ron and Harry alone.

"She's gorgeous when she's mad," Ron muttered. Harry looked up from his homework abruptly.

"Did you say something, Ron?" Harry asked, pretending he hadn't heard what Ron had just said moments before.

Ron shook his head vigorously. "Nothing, mate. I just think that…" Ron swallowed, turning to Harry. "Harry, I think I might fancy Hermione."

Harry showed no sign of emotion. In his opinion, Ron had liked Hermione since their fifth year. Whenever Hermione complimented Ron, he always turned scarlet. He also seemed to get a little tongue tied whenever he was alone in the room with Hermione.

Ron looked at Harry, waiting for a response. "Well what do you think, mate?"

Harry forced a smile. "I think it's about time, Ron. It's been quite obvious to me for some time that you liked Hermione."

Ron grinned, and continued to rant on about how much he liked Hermione, and how he was planning to make her like him as well. Harry nodded, not really listening. For some reason, his heart felt heavy and torn. But… it struck Harry. He didn't like Hermione, did he? He had always loved her. Hermione had been there when nobody else had, but as more than a friend?

Harry winced. If he did like Hermione, which he probably didn't, that would mean that he and Ron liked the same girl. They both liked their best friend. And Hermione had no idea about it. That was, if he liked Hermione.

"Wouldn't it be nice if one day, the four of us could double date?" Ron asked dreamily, staring up at the ceiling.

"Huh?" Harry asked. Harry realized that he hadn't been listening to a word Ron had said in the past half hour. He had been too wrapped up in his own thoughts to even realize that Ron was talking.

"Ginny and you, Hermione and me," Ron responded in the same dreamy voice, "Wouldn't it be nice if the four of us could double date?"

Harry gave Ron a fierce look. "Why are you constantly trying to push Ginny and me together?"

Ron looked taken aback. "I'm sorry, mate. I just know that even though you and Ginny don't admit it that you two fancy each other."

Harry glanced at Ron coldly, standing up. "I should have walked away when this conversation started."

Before Ron could say another word, Harry headed up to the dorms and disappeared out of site. Ron yawned. He didn't want to go up to bed until he was sure that Harry was asleep, but he was so sleepy…

Ron put his head on the desk and decided to rest his eyes for a few minutes. Just long enough to insure that Harry was fast asleep.

------------------------------

Ron awoke to the squeaking of a door. He slowly opened his eyes to find himself sitting in a chair at the desk. He had fallen asleep while working on his homework. Ron glanced around and noticed a nervous looking Hermione dashing down the steps of the girls' dorm. She was dressed very nicely, and it was obvious she was going someplace fancy.

Ron felt a twinge of jealousy, and a bit of anger. Hermione had decided not to tell him that she was going out somewhere tonight? This was so unlike Hermione. Firstly, Hermione never broke rules when she could help it. And secondly, Hermione never went anywhere without informing Harry and himself.

Ron decided to pretend as though he was still sleeping. There was no need for Hermione to know that he had seen her. Hermione slowly awoke the Fat Lady and left the common room without another glance back.

The second she was out of the door, Ron stood up and headed towards the Fat Lady. He was going to find out where Hermione was sneaking off. He was determined to find out.
