I don't know if these lyrics really go with this, but whatevs.

o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it

o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

Ginny hated awkward silences. She hated them more than almost anything else in the world, and right now she was stuck in the middle of one. Colin had brought her into a small coffee shop called 'Madam Brown's', and they were currently waiting for their drinks to arrive, while fiddling nervously with their napkins.

"So…" Ginny said, trying to break the silence.

Colin's head snapped up, and he looked relieved that she said something, "Hm?"

Ginny managed a laugh, "I dunno."

Colin's mouthed formed a small 'O' and he looked back down at his napkin.

Ginny looked around nervously, spotting a few couples here and there, talking heatedly. Ginny very much envied them at that moment. Amongst the couples sat Lavender Brown and Dean Thomas (whom Ginny had in fact dated the year before), and Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Okay, so their conversation wasn't so heated. Draco looked extremely bored, and Pansy was talking away, trying to scoot closer to Draco, but each time she did he proceeded to also scoot around the table.

At last she couldn't take it any longer, "Excuse me," she said, standing up, "I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Colin nodded, "Okay."

When Ginny reached the bathroom, she stared herself in the mirror oddly, and surveyed herself. Her long flaming red hair was still braided neatly, and her clothes nice and straight. Her eyes looked a bit dull at the moment though, which considering her situation would be thoroughly understandable. The freckles dotted across her nose seemed to be quite a bit more noticeable today, though. Ginny wrinkled her nose and rinsed her hands, and then dryed them off to give the illusion she had actually used the bathroom properly.

On her way out Ginny passed Pansy, who gave her a nasty look about making eye contact, and rammed her shoulder brutally with her own. Ginny gave a small shriek of pain and clutched her shoulder, continuing to walk toward the small table where Colin sat boredly ripping up his napkin.

He looked up as she approached, "What happened to your shoulder?" he asked, a note of concern edging his voice.

"Parkinson," Ginny said flatly. Colin gave her an odd glance and looked for a moment as if he was going to say something, but was cut off by a perky looking woman with dark brown hair about mid-length, parted into two neat pigtails under her ears, bearing a name tag that read 'Roderica Brown'. The woman set down two mugs, one containing coffee, and one containing a strong smelling raspberry tea.

Ginny smiled up at the woman appreciatively, "Thank you," she said softly.

The woman beamed, "Not a problem at all. Can I get you anything else?"

Colin and Ginny both shook their heads in unison. The woman beamed again, "Alright, just let me know. By the way, you two are adorable together," she winked and walked off. Ginny grimaced and Colin gave a slightly uneasy look.

To avoid any awkward conversations, Ginny swiftly picked up her mug of tea and sipped it as lady-like as she possibly could. Colin took a large gulp of the coffee and yelped, "HOT!"

Ginny nearly dropped her own mug, but began laughing at her date all the same, "Colin, coffee is to SIP, not gulp."

He fanned his mouth pathetically, "Nks' 'er elling 'e ow'" he mumbled.

Ginny cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow, "Eh?"

"Thanks," he said evenly, "for telling me now."

Ginny burst into a fit of giggles, "No problem, sweetie."

Suddenly she was beginning to feel a load more comfortable. Maybe the date would turn out good after all.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

D –

Well, I had my date today. At first it was terribly awkward and we weren't saying a thing, and I hate awkward silences. But then 'C' burned his mouth and we ended up laughing about it, and the conversation shot up from there. After we had our drinks we walked around Hogsmeade for a while. I bought a new quill, and 'C' and I talked about loads of things. He asked me to go out with him again, and of course I accepted. We're going to go flying together Tuesday evening.

Well anyway, enough about that. How was your day? Did you take your girlfriend to Hogsmeade? I hope you had a good time if you did.

Bee stayed here all day and did homework, which I have yet to catch up on. She is still avoiding the boy that asked her out. I do believe if she doesn't answer him by tomorrow I will make her, one way or another.

Anyway, I need to get some homework done. Write back soon!

Love,

S

o.O.o

S –

Your day sounded quite interested. Your date on the other hand sounded like an idiot (no offense). I honestly don't think you should go out with him again. Try for someone a little better.

Yes, I did take my girlfriend to Hogsmeade and I must say it was incredibly boring. She's a bit of a talker and I'm well…not with her. I had an okay time I suppose.

Bee once again, is a bonehead. Tell her I said to just tell him no already, damnit!

I'm going,

Goodnight,

- D

Even as Draco wrote the words on the paper he could not believe himself. Why was he telling this girl how much he didn't enjoy his date? Why did he feel the need to make a point of that? And why in the world had he added the bit about her boyfriend?

He sighed and sent the note on it's way anyway, and slipped into bed.

He lay there for hours, rolling over and over, trying to stop thinking about the girl he had been writing over the past few weeks. Finally sleep claimed him, near four in the morning.

o.O.o

"No Colin, I can't go with you today!" Ginny insisted, trying to concentrate on her homework.

"But why not?" Colin whined. Ginny mentally smacked her forehead, he just wasn't getting it.

"I have home-work! I need to get this finished before tomorrow. Go with Mindy," Ginny suggested.

Colin sighed exasperatedly, "Fine. See you later, Gin."

"Bye Colin," Ginny laughed, "Have fun."

Colin exited the common room, Mindy following closely after and Ginny looked back down at her homework. She couldn't concentrate even with Colin gone, due to the buzzing sound of students talking about the Halloween feast, which would be later that evening, as it was Halloween.

Ginny finally stopped trying to concentrate in the Common Room, packed up her stuff, and headed toward the library. When she arrived Madam Pince gave her an apprehensive look as she passed, walking to the back corner in search of an empty table. To her luck, the only table with an empty seat was occupied by two males she hated more than most anyone else – Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. She hesitated and considered turning back and going to the populated Common Room to attempt to concentrate once more, but finally decided she might need the books in the library and didn't want to make trips back and forth to get them, so hesitantly, she approached the table and sat down. Draco looked up from his book and Blaise looked away from the window, resting his eyes on her.

"Weasley," Draco spat, "Can't you see that this table is taken? Or is your family too poor to afford sight aids for you?"

Ginny rolled her eyes, "You are so lame, Malfoy. For your information, this was the only seat available, so however unwillingly, I had to take it. So just ignore my existence, and I will gladly ignore yours."

"That shouldn't be a problem seeing as no one ever notices you anyway. Except for maybe Potter since you kind of stalk him," Draco snapped. Blaise was watching with an eyebrow raised.

"I do not stalk him!" Ginny protested, not thinking of anything else to say.

Draco scoffed, "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"Be quiet! This is a library!" Madam Pince screeched from her perch behind the large oak desk she was sitting at.

Blaise snickered and mimicked the woman, "Be quiet! This is the library!"

Draco only smirked and looked back down at his book.

Ginny didn't move.

"I don't like him," she said, a notch quieter than moments earlier.

Draco looked up, slight confusion playing across his icy blue eyes. Ginny had never noticed how pretty his eyes really were, even if they were always matched with a sour expression, "What?"

"Harry," she said, "I don't like him."

Draco smirked, "If you say so."

Ginny gave a small, put out, 'hmph' through her nose, and looked down at the Charms essay she was supposed to be writing. Reluctantly she pulled out her quill and began writing.

Draco took this moment to survey the girls features. She was not pretty like most of the girls in Hogwarts, but she had a natural beauty, undaunted by make-up and fake hair color. Her hair was, much to her displeasure, a flaming red, that stood out in any crowd. It reached right below her chest and made natural waves. Her nose was small and dainty, and her ears the slightest bit pointed. Her skin was somewhat pale, with the slightest tan, and somewhat rosy cheeks. Freckles marred her cheeks and the bridge across her nose. Her lips were delicate, light pink, curved just perfectly. And her eyes, a gorgeous shade of brown, with almost unnoticeable dark green flecks here and there. Her body, though not one of a supermodel, complimented her innocent facial features. She was not tall by any means, but average height, with few curves. Draco had never realized how beautiful the girl really was, though he would never admit it.

He quickly pushed the thoughts from his mind as her eyes met his. He looked down at his book and pretended to read, while she took her turn in surveying his features.

He had high cheekbones, and pale skin. His eye brows were usually slanted down and inward, giving his handsome face an unpleasant look. His blond hair, now quite shaggy around his ears, was often falling across his broad forehead. He was somewhat rugged looking. He was very grown into his body, which made him qualify to most girls as 'sexy'. Ginny noticed a small twinge of misery in his eyes.

"I'm gonna go. See-ya Malfoy," Blaise said, standing up.

"Where you going?" Draco asked. Ginny looked as far as she could up at them without tilting her head much.

Blaise mouthed something Ginny couldn't understand, Draco rolled his eyes, and Blaise left, "See ya Weasley!" he called behind him. Ginny looked up and watched as the Black-headed Slytherin left the Library, earning a glare from Madam Pince.
