Heres the next one. If you dont want to listen to my rant, then stop reading my note here. I am so fucking pissed off right now I couldn't actually write the out the short story I was doing. I got totally screwed over by like everyone, and my family all hate each other! I officially hate getting up, simply because today collage sucked. Problem is, my mum/dad/stepmum/any other parent figure in my life wouldnt allow me to give it up! Arrrg! And, the guy who seemed totally into me is now clearly after my mate! Ha! How fucking fun it must be for the gods to get my hopes up! Anyway, rant over. Oh, and you should be able to guess the Ginny pairing by the end of this chapter.

The day of the ball arrived and the school was devoid of girls for most of the day. Only Ginny actually turned up for breakfast. She sat at the table and began piling her plate high with food. "Gin?" Ron said nervously.
"Yo?"
"Where is everyone?" Ginny looked up, seeming to only just realise that she was the only girl in the room. Every boy was looking at her.
"I'm on a recon slash supplies mission, so I decided I would eat as well."
"Recon slash supplies?"
"Yeah. Finding out if any other girls are here and getting food."
"Riiight…well Gin, you realise you're being gaped at by nearly the whole hall."
"Yeah." She grinned. "Great little confidence booster." Ron looked shocked, and Harry laughed. "Right well, I need to be off." She said, piling toast into a napkin and walking out. Ginny walked into the heads dorm where the girls were already getting primped. Hermione hadn't come in yet, but no one said anything about that. Ginny dished out the toast as the girls prepared for a huge girly day. Ginny was the designated messenger for them. The others were all in dressing gowns and pyjamas, some with face packs on, giving them oddly alien looks.
"How'd the boys react?" Cho asked, her hair wrapped in a towel.
"They all stared at me like a crazy person."
"You gonna tell us who you're mystery date is yet?"
"I told you!" She chided, smirking. "It's a surprise." Pansy Parkinson sniffed slightly.
"I still contend its Zabini." Ginny rolled her eyes and looked around.
"I have standards you know. Where's Hermione?"
"Draco's telling her off for us being here. I reckon he just wants morning sex and needed an excuse." They all looked to the locked bedroom door with the silver plaque bearing Draco's name. As if on que the door opened and Hermione stormed out. Draco followed, a large smirk on his face.
"Come on Granger, it was a joke."
"Oh that's what it was? Oh I'd never have guessed." He walked over to where she had flopped on the couch next to Pansy.
"Granger…"
"Yes?" She snapped icily.
"Come here baby." He offered a hand which she grudgingly took. The girls watched in amazement as he tenderly pulled her into him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. You know that. I promise I won't say it again." He pressed his forehead gently on hers, hands running up and down her back. "Baby you know I wouldn't intentionally hurt you. I'd rather die than loose you." Hermione smiled slightly.
"I know."
"Now gimmi a kiss, I want to go get breakfast." She gave him a chaste kiss on the lips and he let her go.
"See you later ferret face."
"You'll pay for that later." He smirked before leaving the room.
"Wow Herm." Hermione looked round at the girls all staring at her.
"The amazing bouncing ferret has a heart after all."
"What'd you mean?" She was totally confused. Ginny glanced at the other girls, who were looking incredulous that she didn't realise it.
"Hermione, when I was with him he never even talked to me, let alone apologise." Pansy said at last. "He's a totally different person around you."
"He's just being nice."
"Which is what's so amazing." Ginny stood. "He's the Sylytherin Prince. He doesn't just say sorry to people for hurting them. He laughs. It's weird seeing him like that."
"Does he want to cuddle after you do it?" Pansy suddenly asked. Hermione flushed bright red and looked away, nodding.
"He won't actually let me go half the time."
"That proves it."
"Proves what?" Nearly all of the Syltherin girls looked at each other.
"He never wants to cuddle with anyone." Millicent Bullstrode said. "He told me he detests it. Apparently it was a waste of time." Hermione went, if possible, even redder.
"Let's just get ready shall we?" She grumbled. "I still want to know who Ginny's going with."
"Ah, but I'm not going to tell you, so stop changing the subject."
