I was overjoyed at the reviews I got last chapter!!! Thank you all…and for all of you who nagged on me about how ginny and harry are supposed to be together…well then this and the next chapter are the ones for you. I mean, who can honestly say that when we love someone we are content to just sit and watch backstabbing, evil, tall, wanna be preps steal our bf's? (oh wait, no that was part of my life, not ginny's sorry.) Not a girl who grew up with the Weasly twins…that's for sure.
Hey I took two short chapters and combined them together to make one long one. Enjoy!!! Love yall!!
Allright… I just finished my other chapter and I am starting on this one…so if you are reading it…you are either a really good computer hacker or most of you reviewed for the last chapter. Okay here goes!!!

Disclaimer: Not Jo. If I was I would not be anxiously waiting the release of the next book just like the rest of you HP devoted (but also yet very strange) souls. So…yeah….not JO. Just thought I would say that again for reinforcement.
"I'm his girlfriend!" the woman called Sophia said brightly. Ron's draw dropped, but Ginny suddenly felt as cold as ice towards this girl.
"How very nice to meet you." Ginny said in a falsely over-bright voice. "Harry didn't seem to have mentioned you." The woman shook her head cheerily. Ginny could see that she probably didn't have much brains. In fact, she distinctly reminded Ginny of a girl that she had went to school with named Pansy Parkison, though she was considerably prettier and nicer.
"I swear, I'm always telling him how lucky he is to have me…he just hasn't realized it yet." She laughed, tossing her long brown hair behind her. Her long, painted red nails reached for Harry's arm and entwined her hand with his. Harry looked mightily uncomfortable, and mad as she was at him, Ginny also found it very humorous to watch him in this predicament.
"Well now that we've found each other, why don't we head over to my place to get ready for the banquet dinner, sweetie?" Sophia smiled at Harry expectantly.
"Uh, sure, that sounds good. I'll meet you at the gates in a minute. Just let me say bye to my friends and I will be over there." He said. Harry still wouldn't look directly at the woman.
"Okay!" She exclaimed happily. Sophia turned to Ron and Ginny. "It was very nice to have met you both. Maybe we will see each other again sometime." She gave Harry a good-bye kiss on the cheek, then walked away, waving heartily at them as she did so. Ginny noticed that she was in a leather skirt and extremely tall high heels. Who wears that to a fair? Ginny wondered incredulously.
Then she guiltily remembered that she had almost considered a similar outfit for the occasion. Looking back, she was glad she had chosen to be comfortable instead. Harry shook hands with Ron, said his farewell, and then turned to Ginny.
"Look, just so you know, I didn't want you to think that I had lied to you about seeing someone."
"How do you explain that one?" Ginny asked, curious in spite of her anger.
"We went out for a long time, but then months and months ago, we broke up." Harry told her." I asked her to go to the dinner tonight, as friends, because I had no one else to bring. But I hadn't counted on you." he looked regretfully at her, then over to Sophia. And completely forgetting Ron was standing there, listening to every word he said, he kept talking.
"Trust me; I would rather it be you I was taking to the dinner tonight instead of her. And as more that friends. Maybe we can make plans for another time? And I would be honored if you came to the dinner also." Harry said unblushingly.
Ron was obviously trying hard not to listen to their conversation. Ginny wondered if it would be uncomfortable for her brother if she were to start seeing Harry again.
"I'd love to make plans for another time. And as for the banquet, I'll go if Ron goes." Ginny said uncertainly. Ron's head snapped around.
"Um, yeah, sure….We'd love to go to the dinner." Harry's face broke into a smile.
"Great! Meet me at the entrance to the stadium and I will give you your tickets to the dinner then, and we can all go in together."
"Sounds like a plan." Ron said brightly. Ginny nodded her head in agreement. She gestured over towards the gates, where Sophia seemed to be growing impatient.
"You had better go." Harry's head swiveled around, looked a Sophia and turned back around. He rolled his eyes.
"She'll get over it." He gave Ginny a quick hug and Ron another handshake before turning around and slowly ambling over to where Sophia stood waiting.
"Well I don't know about you," Ginny said, turning to Ron, "but I'm all funned out. Why don't we go home and relax a little while before the dinner?"
"Okay, that sounds good." Ron said. Ginny thought she detected laughter in his voice. The both of them started walking towards the car.
"What's so funny?" she asked him.
"Nothing." Ron said sarcastically, still chortling under his breath. Ginny gave him a Look.
"What?" she said again. Ron still didn't say anything until they had climbed into the car.
"Well I was right, wasn't I? It was you he wanted to see. And he wanted you as 'more than friends'! Oho…what fun this will be!" He said, laughing.
"Oh shut up." Ginny said, although she had started laughing too. Ginny was really happy and didn't think she had felt this way in a really long time. She was still grinning, from the moment she put the engine of the car into reverse, until she got home.
So Harry didn't lie…but this Sophia is still involved with him…..hmmmm….I wonder how mean of a person I am to not update and put off the confrontation between Sophia and Ginny….I guess it depends on how many reviews I get! Hehe. I'm so evil. I think I might join up as Voldemort's junior assistant. KIDDING!!!
Please review!

Disclaimer: Hmmmmm…..what me? And autograph? What for? Oh. Nope sorry…I didn't write Harry potter. You must be looking for J.K. Rowling.
"So how do I look?" Ginny asked, twirling around so Ron could see her outfit.
"Lovely, Madam." He said, smiling as he spoke. Ginny caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. Now she by no means considered herself vain, but she did look good tonight. She had made sure of it. When she had first purchased the floor-length, black satin, strapless dress she had thought it had been an impulse purchase and she wouldn't have anywhere to wear it for a long time. Tonight, she was glad she had thought about buying it. It went perfectly with her long red hair, which was cascading in long curls down her back like a gentle stream making a waterfall.
She hadn't used a lot of makeup, gone for the more natural effect, highlighting her cheek bones, eyes, and lips. Looking in the mirror, she felt like her reflection was another person looking back at her. Her brother had dressed up too. Ginny had gotten him one of the dress suits from a magazine shoot. Ron had even combed his hair and slicked it back with some kind of gel.
"You clean up nice big bro." Ginny said teasingly. Ron looked down in mock concern.
"What, you don't like the suit?" an evil smirk became plastered on his face. "That's okay, I'm sure it's not me Harry is going to be yearning after. At least I hope not." Ron told Ginny. She blushed.
"So are we going or what?" Ginny said, trying to change the subject.
"Ready when you are." Ron said. Ginny gave him a thumbs-up, and silently prayed that Apparating wouldn't mess her hair up too bad.
When they arrived, Harry and Sophia were already waiting at them. Harry was dressed in a very expensive looking suit and tie. Sophia was in a tight, bright red, floor length halter top that had fake diamonds sewn into the neckline. The both of them smiled when they first saw Ron and Ginny headed their direction.
For a moment, Ginny thought that Harry's eyes were literally going to pop out of his head when he saw her. He stared at her for a full minute, and probably would have gone on staring if Sophia hadn't given a little cough. Harry shook his head, and his eyes seem to come back into focus. Before he could say anything, Sophia cut in with her high pitched voice.
"Ginny, you look amazing!" she exclaimed. "I love your hair and you absolutely must tell me where you got that gorgeous dress!" she smiled approvingly and kindly at her. Ginny smiled back shyly.
"Well where is this banquet thing at?" Ron said. "We don't want to be late." Harry nodded his head, and gestured for them to follow him. He led them down a winding staircase, and then down several hallways, and kept going until they entered a festively lit banquet room. As he held open the door for each of them, he held Ginny up a moment before letting her pass.
"You look wonderful." He whispered to her. Out loud to the rest of them he said, "It shouldn't start for about twenty more minutes or so, so go ahead and get acquainted with everyone." Ginny and Ron followed Sophia and Harry around, being introduced to several different people that Ginny didn't know that she would be able to remember all of their names. All the while, Sophia was firmly attached to Harry's arm, and apparently not in any great hurry to let go.
"Ginny, Ron, I want you to meet James Heron, the best Keeper the Falcons have ever seen." Harry said, shaking a tall, blonde man's hand. The man turned to them and flashed them a dazzling smile.
"It's an honor to meet you. And any friend of Harry's is a friend of mine. Oh yes, do forgive me I seem to have misplaced my manners. This is my date, Jessica Teraa." The woman standing next to Heron gave a small smile and wave. Harry nodded at them before moving on to a group of people who were laughing heartily at a joke that one of the beaters had just told.
Ginny tugged on Ron's sleeve. He turned to her.
"I'm going to go to the restroom really quick, all right? Then I will come find you." Ron shrugged his shoulders, and then went with Harry to be introduced to the other team members. Once Ginny reached the restroom, however, she realized that she wasn't alone.
"Hello," she said when she realized Sophia was with her. By this time they had entered the restroom. And Ginny was shocked when Sophia spoke, because it was not in her normal, flirtatious, girly manner.
"Listen, I don't know who you think you are, but Harry's mine now. So whatever you guys had between you in school is done, finished. You seem like a smart person, so here's a clue: stay away from Harry. After tonight, I had better not hear him mention your name again. Got it?" Ginny stood stock still for a moment, but then regained her voice.
"I don't know what you mean by this." She said flatly. Sophia laughed, and when she did, it was cold and cruel, with a hint of disbelief. Ginny thought she saw the door start to open behind her, but she decided it must have been a trick her eyes played on her because it stayed stock still.
"Don't play stupid with me. I've seen the way you look at him, and I can hear it in his voice. You like each other. But I'm telling you right now, make one move for him and you are so history."
"Okay." Ginny said, smiling. Sophia looked skeptic.
"I didn't think it would be that easy." Then she smirked. "Oh well. The best woman has won. I guess I'll catch you later." Then her voice returned to normal. "Thanks for listening. I knew you would understand." She smirked as she went out the door.
"Oh excuse me," Sophia said politely to someone on the other side of the door.
Ginny smirked after her….a plan already forming in her mind…..
