A/N Wayhay quick update, I like this cute little chapter!

Chapter Four

Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood were sat cross legged on the floor of the Gryffindor Common Room, both in their own little worlds. Neither has spoken for at least ten minutes due to Luna's typical daydreaming and Ginny's mentally reliving a certain part of her lunch hour. She grinned, sure going out with Draco Malfoy may not be the brightest idea on many counts, but boy he was a good kisser. Ginny seemed to have a thing for danger and excitement, 'bad boys' were wild and passionate, she loved that. When she was younger she naively expected Harry Potter to be the epitome of excitement, but after a few dates he hadn't really lived up to her expectations. She had grown up a lot over the past year, realised that Harry had just been a silly crush and that friendship was all that they could ever have. Not wanting to sound cruel, Harry bored her. After all the drama of the war, Harry had wanted to settle down for a bit, Ginny on the other hand had only just had a taste of adventure and excitement - she loved it. Draco surprised her nearly everyday. Dragging her into broom cupboards, sneaking down to the dungeons, he even left her little notes everywhere so that she'd always be thinking about him. 'Ha, he would die if I ever told anyone about those' Ginny thought.

Ginny handed Luna a mirror to admire the hair that Ginny had spent the last half an hour perfecting. To her horror Luna gasped with shock and began to scrape her hair back into a regular ponytail before tipping her head upside down and flicking her hair back, leaving her hair where it fell.

"Are you mad?!" cried Ginny "That took me ages to do, don't you want to look good for Ron?"

"You know I do, but I don't want to attract any chevchores do I?"

Ginny knew better than to ask what chevchores were and decided to give up on the hair.

"Ronald is just using me anyway. That's obvious."

Ginny suddenly felt very guilty.

"I thought this was what you wanted?" she asked nervously, realising the very awkward position she was in. She didn't want to force her friend into doing anything she didn't want to, especially if she was going to end up hurt, but she knew her brother couldn't cope with being stood up, especially by Luna.

"I do like Ronald very, very much, but I won't pretend I haven't heard the things he's said about me. Think of all the times you've had to remind him that my name isn't actually Looney?"

"Well you've just got to prove him wrong haven't you? You look stunning, trust me, and after an amazing evening Ron will realise how wonderful you truly are!" Ginny hoped her words sounded convincing because she certainly wasn't. Luna seemed to agree though.

"How do I make him see that I'm not a complete headcase?" Ginny had to suppress a smile at how the question was posed so genuinely.

"Just be yourself." she said warmly. Luna smiled dreamily and began to hum as she attached her butterbeer cork necklace. 'Maybe not' thought Ginny.

Someone behind them cleared their throat and as Ginny turned around to face Ron, Luna had already leapt up beside him. 'At least he's made some effort' thought Ginny as she looked him up and down 'And he's been working on his compliments' as he told Luna that she looked stunning. It was times like these when Ginny envied Luna's sleek figure and elegance. It was times like these that she needed Draco. She sighed as she glanced at her watch, only a few minutes had passed since Luna and Ron had walked off arm in arm, her giggling at the first of his probably plentiful bad jokes and him grinning broadly as they sneaked out for a moonlight stroll of the grounds. Ginny was almost 100 percent sure that they would not get caught, Ron knew all the secret hideaways of Hogwarts almost as well as Fred and George themselves. Fred…her breath hitched in her throat and she blinked again and again until she was satisfied that the tears would not come. She'd had enough of crying over the last few months. She checked her wristwatch again, admiring the silver links and pretty blue fascia. She loved the fact that she could actually tell the time from it, unlike the ones she'd received from her mother over the years. This watch was from Harry for her birthday. It was muggle made but he'd bewitched it to work inside the school. She though t for a second about going to see Harry, he was only a staircase away and she was sure that he wouldn't mind getting woken. 'But no' she reminded herself 'I can't let him get the wrong idea and besides, I promised Luna that I'd wait up for her.' She tried to think back to when she and Luna had become real friends rather than two people who had the occasional conversation in the corridor, but then became overcome with tiredness and was very aware of exactly how comfy leaning against the most battered armchair of the common room really was, and drifted off to sleep.

"Is she awake?"

"Shhhh.."

Ginny could feel drips of water on her bare arms and feet. She opened her eyes slowly and put her hand to an ache in her neck. Still half a sleep she was vaguely aware of two figures, dripping wet and kissing in the middle of the room. 'Kissing?!' Ginny thought, waking up fully only to realise that she was right. Ron and Luna, drenched to the bone, were holding hands and kissing gently. He whispered something in her ear before starting up the stairs to his dormitory. She smiled insanely before flopping onto the floor next to Ginny.

"Thanks." she murmured before falling asleep in her dripping skirt and cardigan. Ginny smiled to herself, thinking of the 'I told you so's' Draco would have to deal with the next day.

A/N So this was short but since nobody is reading it doesn't really matter!
