A/N: Thank you sooo much for the reviews and I'm really sorry for not updating for… well… ever. But anyways, I promise there will be a lot more updates coming up! Enjoy the next chapter! I am also looking for a beta. If you're interested, feel free to contact me! Btw, the italics and italics with bold are Hermione's thoughts and the underlined is Harry's thoughts.

"Are you sure we should do this?" Ron asked. It was midnight, and he and Ginny were in the common room. Ginny had Hermione's copy of Hogwarts: A History in her hands and it was inching closer to the fire by the second.

"Look. First, you're the one that suggested we do this. Second, it's not like Harry can't afford buying her another one. He'd probably get her a first edition too." Ginny said impatiently. The paper sizzled as Ginny put it into the fire.

"And why in the world would I buy Granger a first edition of Hogwarts: A History?" A voice asked. The siblings turned to see Harry looking at them curiously.

"Because we all know that you're whipped." Ginny said with a wide smirk on her face. Ron looked smug and Harry scowled. But the corners of his mouth twitched upwards.

"Why are you doing this? You know Hermi – I mean – Granger will rip your throats out when she finds out you burned her book." Harry said as he sat down next to Ron while Ginny used a metal stick to poke the ashes of the book. Ginny's smirk grew wider. Harry wondered where she learned how to smirk like that, because none of the Weasleys smirked like that. It looked like Malfoy's smirk and that made him shudder.

"Giving you a reason to get her a new one." Harry looked at Ron, who gave him a look of sympathy.

"That's my sister, ladies and gentlemen." He said in a dramatic voice, earning a smack on the back of his head from Ginny and a laugh from Harry.

Hermione Granger was having a really bad day. She had lost her copy of Hogwarts: A History, which everyone knew was her favorite book ever. She had looked everywhere – her dorm, the common room, the great hall – she even asked Ron to look for it in the boy's dorm. But it had just disappeared. Frustrated, she sat in one of the comfy sofas in the common and stared into the fire. After a few moments, she heard a lot of students muttering, and turned to see them all filing out of the common room. After a few moments, the only person that occupied the room was she. Or so she thought. She heard a low chuckle from behind her, and it didn't take long for her to figure out who it was.

Great. Just great. I'm stuck in the common room with Potter. The day just gets better and better, doesn't it?

"Potter." She said coolly. He laughed louder. She whipped around to face him. He flashed her a crooked smile. She had seen that smile before. He used it to get girls swooning at his feet. It never did anything to her. Except now for some unknown reason, her stomach was full of butterflies and she felt her face flush.

"W-what do you want?" she said, trying to remain calm. Harry smirked. She was cracking. Not as much as he wanted, but still. Hermione had to look away from his face. Since when did I find it smirk attractive? Since the potion. No. It didn't work! Maybe it did but you didn't know. That's impossible. I'm always right. Yeah sure. You just keep telling yourself that. Just because you're the smartest witch of your age, doesn't mean you won't make mistakes. Especially since you have so little knowledge in this area.SHUT UP. (A/N: Sorry if this is confusing. Hermione is having a conversation with her inner voice.)

"Must be hard for you to lose your book." He said, the amusement clear in his voice. His voice broke Hermione's trance and she scowled.

"Well at least someone is happy. So you're just going to randomly talk to me then ignore me when you don't feel like talking to me, huh?" She said. Harry shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Ginny had made it sound so much easier than it actually was.

"I thought-"

"You thought what? That I would be stupid enough to fall for a smirking git like you, only to be humiliated because it was a prank?" She fumed. Harry's eyes flashed with anger.

"So that is your opinion of me, huh? That I'm nothing but a stupid asshole who is trying to pull a prank on you? Well, thanks for clearing it up. I was going to offer to get you a new copy of your book, but I guess jerks like me won't even know where the bookstore is, huh?" He stood up and started walking towards the door, but stopped. "Oh, by the way," He said, turned to face her. His voice was so cold, it made her shudder. "don't bother looking for your book. I burned it." With that, he turned and left. Hermione Granger had broken something no one thought he had – a heart.

Spotting Harry at the quidditch pitch, Ron walked over and sat next to him.

"What's wrong mate? I thought you said it was going to be fine?" He asked.

"Well it's not." Harry grumbled. Then he sighed. Ron was about to ask another question when Harry answered it.

"She thinks that I'm nothing but a stupid git trying to play a prank on her. So I told her I burned her book." Ron sat up in surprise.

"I don't think that's the best idea you've had, mate." He said, trying very hard not to piss Harry off. Though it didn't happen much, it was still scary every time he was mad. Harry put his face in his hands.

"I know." he groaned. A few moments later he sat up.

"But you know what? I've decided I am completely over Granger. I've been trying so hard, but she just throws everything back into my face. She is clearly wasting my time." He stood up and Ron followed.

"Up for a little one-on-one?" Ron asked. Harry smiled.

"You're on."

Ginny knew something was up. Hermione didn't show up for dinner, and Harry acted like he didn't even know she existed. She tried to ask Ron about it, but Ron said he promised Harry he wouldn't tell. After dinner, she cornered Harry.

"Ok, Potter. What the hell is going on." She demanded. Harry sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Ask Ron. I don't want to explain it a million times." He said, turned on her and walking away. She walked back to the great hall to look for her brother, when she noticed Hermione sitting at the Gryffindor table alone.

"Hey Mione!" She said cheerfully. Hermione didn't answer.

"What's -"

"I totally screwed it up! I didn't know what I was saying! I shouldn't have said any of that to him, he looked so hurt and -" Hermione stopped babbling and let out a few sobs.

"Woah! Slow down, Hermione! Why don't we take this back to our dorm, ok?" Ginny said comfortingly. Hermione stood up from her seat and began walking toward the door behind Ginny. When they walked past the area where Malfoy and his friends were sitting, Hermione swore she saw Malfoy smirk and wink at Ginny, who smiled back. She frowned and vowed to ask Ginny about it later. When they got to their dorm, Ginny got out her stock of chocolate frogs dumped them onto her bed. Hermione sat on the end of Ginny's bed and grabbed a frog, and Ginny did the same.

"Ok. Start from the beginning, and don't leave anything out." Ginny said. With that, Hermione retold the whole story. After a few minutes, there was complete silence. Then Ginny spoke.

"Wait. He said he burned your book?"

"Yeah, why?" Hermione said, confused. Ginny looked down at her bed with a sheepish expression.

"Uh-Well, because I was the one who actually burned your book." She said softly. Hermione's eyes widened.

"WHAT?!" She screeched. Ginny winced. "What the hell did you do that for?" Hermione demanded.

"I was trying to figure out a way to get you guys to talk with each other alone, and Ron suggested this. Mind you, he didn't do anything but sit there while I burned the book so please don't be mad at him. Anyways, Harry caught us burning your book, and so we told him that he was going to get you a new copy. First edition of course, and he said that he'd love to. But he said he would ask you first." Ginny said. Hermione calmed down slightly. He really wasn't kidding about buying me a new one. I told you so. Ginny sighed.

"So do you think you can forgive me?" She asked carefully. Hermione closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again.

"Ok. But you have to help me make Harry forgive me. And you have to get me a new copy of Hogwarts: A History. It doesn't have to be first edition." She finished, smiling. Ginny smiled as well.

"Deal. But for that to happen we're going to have to go shopping." Ginny said. Hermione's face turned into a frown.

"But I hate shopping!" She whined. Ginny laughed.

"I didn't say impressing Harry Potter was a easy thing."

It was Saturday morning and Hermione had promised to meet Ginny at the great hall so they could go shopping in Hogsmead together. She held her breath as Harry walked into the great hall. He looked so good out of school uniform in a white button up shirt and jeans. Hermione bit her lip as he walked past her.

"I can see what you mean, Red. Granger really does have it bad for Potter." Hermione froze when she realized who was behind her.

"Malfoy?!" She said, whipping around. Then she got a even bigger shock. Draco's arm was tightly wound around Ginny waist, and Ginny was laughing. Draco gave her a smirk.

"Damn it! Ginny what the hell is going on?" She yelled.

Wow! This is my longest update, ever! haha. So just what is going on with Draco and Ginny? Review to find out!
