A/N Jumping Gee Willigers! Haha I love that saying! I've been saying it all day! Thank you for your absolutely wonderfully elephant-tastic reviews! I love you all! A HUMUNGO surprise will be in this chappy. I'm looking forward to typing it! Well here is CHAPTER 10! Wow, long it is!

Disclaimer: All of the characters except Brooke belong to JK Rowling or the WB. I own the plot.


After Harry started talking to me, my life in the Gryffindor common room warmed up since I started dating Draco. My brothers are still giving me the cold shoulder, but it is thawing bit by bit. (A/N haha corny) After the past few months, I've tried not to mention Draco to Harry and vise versa, because they were sort of sensitive on the subject of each other. Draco is feeling better now, that his father is gone. His mother is happier as well. Narcissa has been owling Draco almost everyday. She seems livelier than ever. (A/N HINT)

I woke up the morning of December 2nd with a good feeling in the pit of my stomach. I tossed my bed hangings open, and literally hopped out of bed, with a silly grin on my face.
"Good Morning Brooke!" I smiled at my friend. She grumbled as she stumbled out of bed. She stood up and looked at me, tousle haired.
"What are you so cheerful about? And wasn't it just yesterday you were telling me that no morning is a good morning?" she asked.
"Yes, well I was wrong!" I said as I changed into my clothes.
"Virginia Weasley, were you dreaming about Draco Malfoy, again?" she asked, grinning, accenting on the again. I smiled. She was right, I did dream about Draco, but I wasn't about to confess to her. I let out a bit of a giggle.
"Ginny, you dirty, dirty girl!" she scolded me, smirking. I threw my pillow at her.
"I'm going down to breakfast, see you later Brooke," I told her as I walked out of the dorm. Neither Hermione nor Harry was in the common room, so I walked down to Great Hall by myself. As I walked through the door, Draco came running up to me.
"Ginny, I got a letter from my mom," he said as he kissed me on the lips. (A/N hard to do, but you know what I mean).
"What is different about that hun?" I asked him. He looked… well I don't know, a mixture of excitement, happiness, horror and nervousness.
"Listen to this," he pulled a piece of parchment out of his robes, which I was guessing was the letter from his mom, "Dear Draco, I have some very exciting and important news for you. As you know Sirius has been staying at the manor ever since September, and we've made up the time we've lost. While we were making up the time, we came across a feeling that hasn't been between us ever since our 5th year. Love. Last night Sirius proposed to me. I said yes. Draco dear, I'm getting married! I will talk to you later about the wedding. Love, Mom," he finished and looked up at me. "Gin, my mom is marrying Black!"
I couldn't believe my ears. This was so amazing. Narcissa and Sirius!
"Oh my goodness Draco! Why do you look like that? Draco, your mom is getting married to the man she loves! She's happy! Sirius, he is a great guy, and he'll be your stepfather! This is the best news in the world!" I hugged him and he pulled away a bit.
"You think so?" he asked me, holding my shoulders. I nodded vigorously. He picked me up around the waist and spun me around, laughing.

HARRY'S POV

I got up from the table at breakfast alone, just finishing my meal. I turned to look at the door, and saw Malfoy spinning Ginny around, laughing. I never heard Malfoy laugh before, or smile for that matter. He'd smirk, snigger and sneer, but never smile or laugh. I daresay this is Ginny's impact. I don't know if I should be happy for him or smack him. Smacking sounds appealing. I wonder what they were so happy about. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, that I know of. Hedwig soared down onto my shoulder, handing me a letter.
"Thanks Hedwig," I mumbled, still watching Ginny and Malfoy. I stuffed the letter, which was most likely from Sirius into my robes, planning on reading it later. I sighed. Why did Ginny have to pick Malfoy, when I was standing here with open arms? If he ever hurt her…
"You want someone who doesn't want you back, don't you," A voice from behind me said. I turned around. There was Pansy Parkinson. She wasn't smirking, to my surprise. She looked expressionless, a little sad though. She wasn't ugly, not stunningly gorgeous though. She had dirty blond hair that came to just past her shoulders, hazel eyes and a nice figure. She was a bit shorter than me.
"What?" I asked.
"I know how you feel Potter, you want Ginny, but she loves Draco," she told me matter-of-factly.
"No…I don't," I said unconvincingly. Then I took a different point of view. "Why are you even talking to me Pansy, I thought you hated me," I told her.
"I don't know why I'm talking to you, I just saw you staring at Draco and Ginny at the same time as me, and put it together. And Harry, not every Slytherin hates you," she told me quietly, in a faraway voice. And then in my head, it clicked.
"You're in love with Draco, aren't you?" I asked quietly. She let out a sob, and before even thinking, I hugged Pansy Parkinson.

But what was more startling is that Pansy Parkinson hugged me back.


A/N Do you like it? It is way shorter than I thought, but it just came out. I thought it would be a lot longer, many apologies! This chapter is called This Hug, a sort of parody of This Kiss by Faith Hill. I couldn't think of anything! Sorry! Please R/R Flame if you want, I like to laugh. Oh, and some flamed my other fic, If Draco ran away, and I just had to tell you. In the first chapter I put that me and my friend were talking about a geek, and she said that there was nothing wrong with geeks and that Draco is a prick (I WILL KILL HER) j/k but anyway, if that person reads this, I just want to tell you that there is nothing wrong with geeks, it's just my friends and I talk about them, I mean, don't kill us, we're TEENAGERS! Anyway, sorry if I made you mad, but DRACO IS NOT A PRICK!
