Ginny and Draco walked hand in hand as the students walked towards the Quidditch pitch. Harry walked behind them, his Firebolt over his shoulders and a look of loathing marring his features. When they reached the change rooms, he watched Draco and Ginny part with a kiss. He shook his head as he turned to the Gryffindor change rooms. Why had Ginny chosen him, of all people?

Ginny sat in the Quidditch stands, watching as the two teams took off. The rest of the crowd was focusing on the mad dash for the quaffle, but she had eyes only for the two seekers hovering above the crowd. She waited, tense, until she saw them make a dive for the elusive Snitch. She grabbed her wand, and muttering a few words, made Harry's broom tail burst into flame. His face showed utter surprise as he stared at the flames, and he dove for the ground to try to extinguish them.

"I cannot believe you did that!"
"What was I supposed to do?"
"It looks like a need a girl to win my fights for me!"
Ginny's hand sent a ringing slap to Malfoy's face.
"You may not need a girl to win your fights, but your going to need another one to win your heart." Malfoy grabbed at Ginny's arm as she stalked away from him up the lawn. She spun on her heel, drew back her fist and slammed it into his stomach.
"Don't ever fucking touch me again, you bastard!" She yelled as Draco doubled over in pain. She turned to the castle once more, and fled up the stairs. She saw Harry on the way, and tear stung in her eyes as she thought of the rumours Draco would be sure to spread. Of course, Harry would get a hold of them, and he would go after Draco to defend her honour. Her rage boiled inside her as she passed him.
"Ginny, are you okay? Did he... God, what has Malfoy done now?!" Harry voiced practically the same words as were circulating in Ginny's head.
"Leave Draco ALONE!" she screamed. Once again her fist clenched, and she hit Harry square between the eyes. He crumpled to the floor, and she strode up the staircase to Gryffindor Tower. Harry could go to hell, as far a she was concerned.


Ginny stalked through the castle, ignoring the stares and whispers. The Slytherins looked at her with a mixture of humour and hatred on their features. Several of those who dared speak to her spent a day or two in the hospital wing, and the Gryffindors soon learned to stay away from the common room when there was any possibility of Harry and Ginny seeing each other.
Ginny lay on her bed, the curtains pulled closed.
Dammit! She thought, why the hell do I have to love Malfoy? He's such a bastard. But every time he looks at me, those icy eyes, that hair, those lips...
