PROLOUGE-
It was spring time at Hogwarts. And love was in the air. It seemed as if every student was coupled up, and could be found snuggling by a fire, or off in a quiet corner for some privacy. Every student it seemed, BUT Ginny. Ginny was in her fifth year at Hogwarts. Ginny wasn▓t exactly what you would call part of the ⌠popular■ crowd. She had her best friends Neville, and Luna of course, but even they were constantly making eyes at each other. They had been crushing on each other for two years now, and even though they were both a year older than each other they were both too shy to make a move. But like every other girl, Ginny did have a crush. Well more than a crush. More like an obsession. Ginny loved a boy who barely knew she existed. Ginny loved Harry Potter. Harry was one of ⌠those■ boys. The kind of boy that everybody knew his name. but this wasn▓t always a good thing for Harry. People were constantly talking about him. One minute everyone loved him, the next minute they were calling him a crazy liar. But Ginny didn▓t care what anyone else said. To her Harry would always play the hero. Her hero. Technically you could say Ginny and Harry were friends. But this was only so because her older brother Ron was Harry▓s best friend. His other closest friend was Hermoine. Hermoine had always been nice to Ginny, and would even spend some ⌠girl time■ with her occasionally. But even Hermoine was destined for a relationship. She and Ron were like a married couple, minus the rings of course.

HOGWARTS LIBRARY-
Am I really ⌠that girl■? Ginny wondered to herself.
The type of girl who pines after a boy for five years but is too scared to tell him how she feels.

Ginny?

She jumped in her chair knocking over the book she had been examining in the school library. She bent down to pick up the book, and when she looked up she saw none other than Victor Krum.

Oh┘umm┘hey Victor. Said Ginny a little embarrassed.

What▓s a pretty girl like you doing in a boring old place like this? Said Krum.

This took Ginny off guard. Why was Krum giving her so much attention. He had never been ⌠mean■ to her of course. But he hadn▓t really paid her much notice. Everyone knew he was secretly in love with Hermoine. He was also a big man on campus so to speak. He was one of the best Quidditch players in Hogwarts. She had secretly wondered who was better. Krum? Or Harry? Harry played for Gryffindor. And Krum played for Hufflepuff. But none of that mattered right now.

Oh┘you know, just doing a bit of studying.
Actually I really should be going. I guess I hadn▓t noticed the time. Said Ginny

She reached for her pile of books on the table, but Krum grabbed them up before she could object.

lead the way . Said Krum.

She simply walked out into the hallway with Krum following behind her with her huge pile of books.

So┘why are you hanging out alone in the library anyway? he asked.

Oh, like I said, just studying. she replied. No, I meant a pretty girl like you should be off somewhere with your friends, or┘..he paused. or with a boyfriend. he finished his sentence.

What? a smile lit her face. She started to laugh.
Me? A boyfriend? Ha, as if THAT would ever happen. Besides┘.I▓m NOT pretty.

He stopped dead in his tracks. you▓re right Ginny, you▓re NOT pretty.

he set down the humongous stack of books. He took a step toward her. He was facing her with only a small space between their faces. Ginny became aware of the fact that they were the only two people in the deserted hallway.

You▓re beautiful.

he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. Ginny didn▓t know what to do. She had never been kissed on the lips before. And she found it to not be what she had expected. When she found that she didn▓t resist, or pull away, he began to deepen the kiss. Wrapping his arm around her waist. No she didn▓t resist, nor did she do anything else. She just stood there, like a limp rag doll, too shocked to move.

She seemed to suddenly gain use of her limbs again, and broke away from Krum.

She dashed down the hall at a quick pace, not stopping to look back to see Krum▓s happy expression.
