Its been a while since I updated and this is a pretty short chapter but I've been really busy with revision and stuff. Will try and keep on top of it a little more xx hope you like it!


"Once again Potter fighting in the halls! Was forty points from Gryffindor not enough to teach you your lesson" Harry just stared at Snape with a blank expression, he was waiting for Malfoy to jump up and detail the truth of the event in full to Snape, "Fortunately Mr Malfoy does not seem to have sustained any physical injury..." He was giving Malfoy the chance to jump in and give a long winded story about how harry had attacked him viciously in the deserted corridor and Harry expected it but Malfoy remained silent slumped against the wall looking a little dazed so Snape continued "Detention tomorrow night in my office for attempting to use magic in the halls potter now on your way the pair of you." Without further instruction Harry and Draco hurried off down the corridor in opposite directions.

He should have known better than to go back to the common room but Harry was still a in shock from his encounter with malfoy and wasn't thinking straight. He walked through the portrait only to be met by the Ron.

"Where the hell have you been!" He yelled the minute he saw harry but dint pause for an answer "Ginny says you two broke up! She's with Hermione now and she's really upset!"

"Listen Ron I don't know what happened but it was her idea, we were arguing again and everything just seemed to fall apart." Harry sighed and flung himself into a chair whishing he could tell Ron the rest of the incident but he didn't dare, he wasn't even sure himself what had happened.

"You were arguing again? Well maybe this is for the best mate." Ron was quick to change his opinion as he sat own beside Harry with a reassuring look "I mean your not making each other happy, maybe your better as friends." Harry just nodded, his head wasn't really in the room, it was way back inn that corridor still trying to process what he'd done.

"OY HARRY!" Ron looked at him expecting and answer and sighed in annoyance when Harry just stared back blankly "I asked if you were going to end it with Ginny then?"

"No he isn't because I'm ending it with him!" Ginny had seeped to appear as if from nowhere to glare at Harry "This isn't working, I'm sick of arguing with you and I don't want all this drama right now."

Apparently Harry's "I understand" was not the correct response because she stormed away as if he had just slapped her in the face. "What did I do?" He asked Ron when she was out of earshot.

"Beats me, she's a girl Harry, overreacting is just what they do! Better off without them in my opinion." Harry nodded again but he doubted very much he was thinking along the same lines as Ron, a life without girls... did that have to mean a life without relationships...?
