A/N: I'm aware Draco's hair is more blond than silver, but blond sounded
nowhere near as good so for the purpose of this chapter it's silver. And
the troll just kind of disappears (I know what you're all thinking, how
very convenient), but this way we concentrate on Ginny/Draco although fluff
will not be happening anytime soon.

Ginny and Draco ran from the troll pausing only to tell a concerned Hagrid what was happening, Hagrid had gone instantly running off. Meanwhile in the great hall, dinner was just about to start
'Ron be quiet or we might not hear it' Hermione hissed
'So, why would we want to?' Ron asked genuinely puzzled
'It's the last part of the prophecy, I'm trying to work out if it could be anyone we know' Hermione said not even looking at Ron or Harry as she focused on Dumbledore who was unrolling a sheet of parchment and clearing his throat

They will set in motion a chain of events
So great that the foundations of magic will shake
Centuries of dispute will end
Because together they will know no boundary
When Red and Silver collide, magic will be reborn

'As if love could do that' Ron snorted, he was annoyed that he had wasted valuable eating time for no apparent reason
'True love can be a very powerful thing' Harry said thinking of his parent's sacrifice to save him
'Now you sound like Hermione' Ron rolled his eyes but seeing the look Hermione gave him he decided that it wouldn't hurt to know more about the prophecy 'Well what's the red and silver bit about anyway?'
'Could represent red of Gryffindor and silver of Slytherin' Harry suggested
'Not likely, Slytherin are mainly green' Hermione reminded him
'Well maybe Ron's going to fall in love with a silver snake, he's got red hair' Harry said
'WHAT, not likely. Other people have red hair as well, but nobody has silver hair' Ron shouted, but Hermione paid him no attention
'Oh yes they do' Hermione said and Harry and Ron looked in the direction she was staring and saw Ginny and Draco stood together in the doorway looking puzzled
*
Ginny and Draco noticed everyone looking at them and whispers started to break out around the hall as people openly pointed at them
'What are you looking at?' Draco shouted angrily glaring round the hall
'Probably your ugly mug' Ginny muttered but Draco heard her and spun round fiercely
'Take that back' Draco demanded quietly, he no longer needed to shout, the whole hall was hanging on to their every word
'Or you'll do what? Turn me into a ferret, oh wait that's your trick not mine' Ginny glared back at him, and they would have happily argued all day but Professor McGonagall approached them at that moment
'You two follow me now' she said as she swept out of the hall, with Draco and Ginny trailing behind her glaring at each other. They were been taking to Dumbledore's office, both had been there before and were very suspicious about what he could want with them both. They entered the room and saw Dumbledore seated behind his desk with Snape and McGonagall stood at either side
'It was Weasley's fault not mine' Draco said instinctively sensing trouble
'Calm down Mr Malfoy, no-one is in any trouble' Dumbledore smiled an amused twinkle in his blue eyes
'Oh' Draco muttered sheepishly, Ginny was silent preferring to wait till she knew why she was here before talking
'It has been brought to my attention that you two bear a resemblance to the couple from the prophecy' Dumbledore said calmly, all four other occupants of the room stared at him as though he was mad, Draco and Ginny found their voices at the same time
'Me? Like her? Impossible' Draco spluttered
'Not if he was the last human on earth' Ginny exclaimed, both were doing a very good job of ignoring the fact they had being kissing less than an hour earlier
'I'd rather go out with a hag' Draco empathised his point and annoyed Ginny in the process
'A hag? There is no way even a hag would look twice at you' Ginny snorted as Draco glared at her
'Well you should know' Draco sneered
'Take that back dragon boy' Ginny threatened, Draco was vaguely worried he had being on the receiving end of Ginny's curses before and it had never being an enjoyable experience. A loud cough from Dumbledore made them both stop before either could draw their wands, but McGonagall and Snape took advantage of the silence to voice their opinions
'Really professor, I think you are mistaken' McGonagall said
'I agree, Draco already has a pretty young Slytherin girlfriend' Snape pointed out, Draco groaned and slid down in his seat at the mention of Pansy while Ginny snorted, they both received glares off Snape and McGonagall
'And Miss Weasley is much better suited to a Gryffindor' McGonagall insisted
'Maybe. I was merely curious, you may all go' Dumbledore smiled clearly amused at the conversation that had just taken place. Snape left silently with Draco, who gave Ginny one last glare as he left and received a cheeky grin in reply
'As I have said before Professor, fortune telling is a very imprecise form of magic' McGonagall said as she left the room last banging the door, Dumbledore smiled again as he took a sherbet lemon and said 'We'll see. We will see'

Ginny entered the Gryffindor common room hoping to avoid Ron, but Ron was clearly smarter than she had given him credit for because he was sat with Harry and Hermione at the table next to the stairs so she couldn't escape
'What did Dumbledore want to see you about?' Ron asked suspiciously dragging Ginny over to his table
'Just a small misunderstanding' Ginny shrugged
'That's what you said after you blew up the potions lab during detention' Ron pointed out, Ginny smiled weakly as she remembered the incident
'Well this was nothing important' Ginny insisted
'Then tell me why Malfoy was with you'
'Well Draco and me are running away to get married and we were inviting Snape and Dumbledore. Do you want to come?' Ginny said sarcastically
'Ha ha, very funny' Ron rolled his eyes
'Well stop being an idiot' Ginny snapped getting annoyed
'I'm trying to protect you'
'I don't need protecting, how amny times do I have to tell you that'
'Ron' Hermione said tentatively
'What?' Ron snapped making Hermione back away to Harry for safety
'She's right, she's always being able to handle Malfoy in the past, let her handle it now' Harry said calmly
'And Malfoy hasn't really done much wrong recently, just a few snide remarks' Hermione pointed out
'But he's still a Slytherin' Ron insisted stubbornly
'Ron just leave it' Ginny stood up and walked off angrily before she lost control and did something she regretted like turning Ron into a large giant bunny
^
'Have you cursed that Weasley?' Goyle asked hopefully
'Are you been expelled?' Crabbe asked also sounding hopeful. Draco glared at both of them
'Of course not, now leave me alone' Draco didn't even want to bother with them tonight, but his biggest problem was approaching from the other side of the room
'Dracy, I was so worried, I thought that little bitch had done something horrid to you' Pansy shrieked as she threw herself on him, Draco felt angry at hearing Ginny been called a bitch but he wasn't sure why.
'Pansy, I have to go but we need to talk later' Draco said as coolly as possible as he disentangled himself from her, he went up the stairs to his dorm, having decided that he was going to break up with Pansy the next time he saw her. He reminded himself he would have done it anyway, Ginny had nothing to do with it, Ginny meant nothing to him and she never would, she was just another annoying Gryffindor. So Draco was very unsettled when he woke up the next morning having spent all night dreaming about kissing a particular annoying Gryffindor.

A/N: So where do Draco and Ginny go from here, neither seems to have reacted too well to what happened, not even the teachers think they could work. So why is it that next chapter will contain Voldemort attacks and kissing by a certain Slytherin and Gryffindor?
