A/N – Ohh! Bambiky is so sorry for not posting in over two weeks. She's been soooo busy!

It's just, I've had so much homework lately, I had to prepare for a dance that I had to run, and yesterday I went dress shopping, showered, and hurriedly got ready to go to Homecoming (which was ah-mazing). And tomorrow I'm trying out for the Christmas program!

Well, here's your well-awaited chapter! Enjoy and review if you think I deserve it!

Disclaimer – Isn't unless it is.

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

The four of them played Quidditch two on two (boys vs. girls) for about an hour, before Draco finally decided he was too bored to continue living, so they descended and jumped from their brooms.

"Ha!" Mindy said triumphantly, "We beat you!"

Ginny grinned and stuck her tongue out at the pair of boys, "Suckers!"

"I dunno, Weasley," Draco drawled, "If we're talking literal, you're the sucker."

Ginny raised and eyebrow at the blond, "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Well isn't that what you do with Potter?" he taunted her. It was obvious he was going out of his way to make her angry, and it was working. He could tell by the color rising in her cheeks, which compelled him to continue, "Or have you moved on to that Creevey boy?" he shrugged, "Not that it matters. You can't really get much lower. How much are they paying you, huh?"

"You insolent little !" Ginny said fiercely, gritting her teeth, "How dare you!"

"Oh, did I hit a sensitive spot?" Draco was smirking as he watched her grow madder and madder with every moment.

"You know, Malfoy, I feel sorry for you," Ginny spat, "It's no wonder you have no real friends. It's really surprising that any one puts up with you, but I suppose… well, never mind."

"You suppose what, Weasley?" he snapped.

"Oh nothing," she replied, "Only that people pretend to like you because they're scared, but definitely not because they like you. Pft, you don't have the ability to love. But I suppose we can't blame that on you, you know, since no one ever loved you." Ginny gave a small snort before adding, "Not even your parents."

"You shut up!" Draco yelled, stomping a little closer to her, "Shut up you stupid whore! You have no idea what my family is like!"

Ginny clicked her tongue, trying to remain calm, but feeling a bit sorry for what she had said, "Temper, temper, Malfoy. Do you get that from your father? Oh wait, he has to control his temper, since he works for Voldemort and everything. And he's still alive, isn't he? Bummer…"

"Ginny," Mindy said, but Draco cut her off.

"I'll kill you!" he yelled, drawing his wand, "You don't say a word about my father you stupid bitch! He's ten times better than your father will ever be!"

"At least my father has some self respect," Ginny shot back, "We may not have much, as you remind me quite often, but dear God I'd rather live in my family then your hell-whole of a house."

Blaise looked helpless, "Malfoy please, put that down."

"Ginny please calm down," Mindy said softly, "Just back off."

"Draco please put that down," Blaise said again.

Mindy bit her lip, "Ginny-"

Draco and Ginny both turned to their friends and yelled, "SHUT. UP!"

They turned back to each other, about a three feet apart, "Don't you ever say a word about my family again," Draco spat, his voice threateningly low.

"What are you gonna do?" Ginny dared to ask, "Kill me?"

"I'm starting to understand why Potter really hates you. You are so god damn annoying."

"He doesn't hate me," Ginny said evenly.

Draco snorted, "That's what you think. Don't you understand? They all hate you! They see you as Weasley's annoying little sister that won't stop following them around! He only talks to you because he pities you, and now that your best friend has a boyfriend, she doesn't need you anymore either! So why don't you do everyone a favor and buzz off? Nobody needs you, Weasley," he said nastily.

Ginny's bottom lip quivered a little, and a compelling force of tears was beating against the back of her eyes.

She swallowed hard, "Thanks Malfoy," she said quietly, and turned around, hurrying back to the castle as fast as she could, totally disregarding the many shouts from behind her, and the smirking Draco she left behind.

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

"You shouldn't have been so harsh," Blaise remarked, once the two boys were back in the Common Room.

"So?" Draco said, "It's just Weasley."

"No, it's my girlfriend's best friend," he said, "You made her cry."

"She deserved it."

Blaise sighed, "You had no right to say what you did."

"She insulted my family."

"You started it."

Draco slammed his fist down on the table, "Why do you keep defending her?"

"Because you were being an ass, and I have to tell you that," Blaise said, "but you're right on one thing. She didn't have the right to insult your family."

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

Ginny hurried into the Common Room, wiping away what tears were left on her face. She scanned the room for Colin, and when she realized he wasn't there, she glided up the stairs and into the boys' dormitory, finding him sitting on his bed.

"Colin we need to talk," she said evenly.

"What?" he asked, "Is everything okay?"

"No," she responded, "everything is not okay."

"What's wrong?"

Ginny sighed, "It's not going to work."

He screwed up his face in confusion, "What's not going to work?"

"You. Me. Us. It's not going to work," she explained, biting her lip to stop the tears from coming again, "I can't see you anymore."

"Ginny… What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing," she lied, "I just… it doesn't feel right. I want to be friends though… I just want us to go back to how we used to be…"

Colin stood up, "Is it another guy?"

Ginny swallowed hard, "Yes."

He kept his face unusually even and took a sharp intake of breath, "Who?"

"I…" she hesitated, "…don't know."

And with that, she turned and left the room, shutting the door softly, allowing a few tears to roll down her cheek.

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

"Gin?" Mindy knocked on the door a few times, "Gin can I come in?"

Ginny didn't answer, she just continued writing.

I don't know what to say about today. I don't really want to talk about it, as it was for the most part bad. It started okay I suppose, but then bad things started happening. I broke up with 'C' a few minutes ago. It's like you're the only person I can talk to anymore.

Well, I'll always be here. I'm sorry to hear about C, even though he was a bit of a dumb ass (Ginny giggled). My day was a bit ruddy as well, but let's not talk about that, eh?

Haha. You're so sweet.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

:) It's weird… It's like, when I talk to you I can let go all the feelings I try to bottle up to keep myself seemingly happy. Like I can tell you anything without being judged, ya know?

I think I understand. So tell me, why did you break up with C?

Ginny sighed for a moment. She wasn't sure what to tell him. I dunno… I didn't feel like we had anything going I guess.

Ahh I see. But I feel like you aren't telling me something. Was that all? Or was there something else? Or… someone else? (bum bum bum)

Actually… kind of...but, he was kind of clingy.

Draco chuckled to himself but didn't ask about the guy, he just answered, I kind of gathered that.

Did you now?

Yes. Hey, I have to go for a little bit. Tell me more later? He wanted to know about this other guy, and he found himself praying that it wouldn't last. Or maybe… that it was him? Certainly not…

Okay then. Bye.

Ginny sighed heavily as she finished. She had wanted to tell him.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the repetitive callings from Mindy across the room.

"Ginny? You alive over there?"

Ginny looked over at her, "Huh?"

"I've been calling you for five minutes. What were you doing?"

"Talking to D," she said, "What do you care?"

Mindy's delicate face crumpled into a frown. She pushed a few strands of her dark hair behind her ear and sighed, "Ginny I'm sorry. I didn't want tonight to turn out how it did."

"It doesn't matter," Ginny mumbled.

"Yes it does," Mindy insisted, "I should have known something like it would happen."

"I said it didn't matter, Mindy!" Ginny said, frustrated, "Just drop it okay?"

Mindy put her hands up, "Fine. Just let me know when you pry the stick from your ass okay?"

Ginny rolled her eyes and climbed into bed, shutting the curtains forcefully. She leaned against her pillows, hitting the headboard with a thud and letting her thoughts wander back toward D.

What had she gotten herself into, letting herself fall for words written upon parchment by a boy she knew nothing about.

Or did she?

She let out a large sigh. Dropping Colin so suddenly with no notice had really been unfair. She should have explained, or maybe masked the feelings she had for D. But was it really feelings for him? Or maybe it was just the fact that he was always there for her. But that had to count for something. Right?

When I talk to him I just feel so… Ginny stopped to think. Feel so what? Free…

I wish I could see him… I wish the world would disappear, only he would still be here. I have to tell him…

She sat and pondered until she fell asleep. She had wanted so bad to tell him how she felt. She had wanted to tell him that there was another guy. She had wanted to tell him that the other guy, was him.

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

Okay well, I don't feel like this meets WITTY standards. What do you think? I couldn't think of any other way to write it… but I hope you get the point. Please let me know honestly what you think. Thanks!
