A/N: Yes, I know no one liked the idea about me turning this into a H/G fic... but guess what? It's not! Lol... you'll see, Fred and George were mistaken.

Chapter 6~ The Ball
Arms entwined, Harry and Ginny entered the lovely hall where they were to attend the magnificent ball. Or at least they thought it was to be magnificent, the others kept mumbling about how the Malfoys did NOT deserve this.
Slowly, as the music began, Harry and Ginny started to dance together.
'Harry, I have to see him... you have to understand.' Ginny pleaded with Harry, who didn't like the idea of her seeing Draco with her parents right there.
'I told you, I'd let you but your parents.' Harry warned.
'Oh, Harry couldn't you distract them for five minutes?' Ginny asked.
'Ask Fred, or George... even Ron.' Harry stated flatly.
'Harry, please, you're the only one who understands.'
'Argh... fine. But one thing.'
'What?'
'You never call me bro again.' Harry said with a grin on his face.
'Fine, I'll call you "bros best friend" ok?'
'Fine by me.' Harry answered, 'And you understand I'm only doing this because you're...'
'Like a little sister. Yeah I know Harry.' Ginny said.
Harry left Ginny and engaged the Weaslet parents in a conversation. Soon, Harry had them laughing at his witty jokes. Harry was able to lead them away to go and talk to Cornelius Fudge.
At once Ginny felt herself being pulled towards someone, she turned around and saw Draco standing in front of her ready to dance.
'My Lady, it is great to see you on such a splendid night.' Draco greeted as he hastily started dancing with her as to not attract attention.
'It's good to see you too, my good sir.' Ginny said smiling.
'Gin, you really shouldn't have done that.' Draco warned.
'What?' Ginny asked angelically.
'Made Harry take your parents away. You still haven't told them have you.'
'Nnnnooo... but how about your parents? Won't they think it's weird that your dancing with their worst enemy's daughter?'
'They think I'm mingling with our guests.' Draco answered.
'Oh stop it Draco, who cares what others think, don't spoil our brief meeting.'
'Yes Ma'am. Would you like to accompany me in the gardens?' Draco asked.
'Umm... ok.' Ginny answered looking around quickly.
Slowly they made it out into the gardens and sat down on a bench together. Draco, who initiated in tickling Ginny, watched with pleasure as Ginny squirmed, trying to escape him. They talked for awhile, about life. Then, Draco reminded Ginny that she should go in. Ginny agreed and leaned in to kiss her love, before she had to leave him. She didn't know when she would see him again.
'Virginia Weasley!' some one shouted from behind them and Ginny abruptly pulled away from Draco. She slowly turned around and saw her parents standing there along with the Malfoys.
'Draco Malfoy, what is the meaning of this?' Lucius demanded.
'Father, we have something to tell you all.' Draco said looking his father straight in the eye.
'That's for sure.' Arthur Weasley said as he walked over to Ginny and pulled her away from Draco. 'Virginia, what is the meaning of this?'
'Mum, Dad I've been going out with Draco for the past 9 months.' Ginny stated looking at the ground.
'You what?' Lucius yelled outraged, 'Draco, how dare you go out with this... this common, good for nothing Muggle Lover?'
'Father, I will not tolerate any of this nonsense coming from you!' Draco argued.
'How dare you speak to me in such a fashion, you are my son-'
'I am your son, but that gives you no right to treat me in this way.'
'I have every right to do anything for your on good!'
'My good?' Draco said as he laughed at his father's remark as if it were a sick joke, 'You have stripped me of anything in my life that would have been for my own good!'
'Mr. Malfoy, Draco stop, please.' Ginny said in a hardly audible voice.
'You!' Lucius said pointing at Ginny, 'What were you doing with my son?'
'I am his girlfriend, sir.' Ginny answered confidently, as her strength returned to her.
'Girlfriend... don't you mean ex-girlfriend?' Lucius asked.
'What?' Ginny asked.
'You heard him, young lady, you are no longer to see this boy.' Arthur Weasley commanded.
'Dad, you don't understand!'
'I understand enough to say this... you are never to see him again.'
With this, Arthur took a hold of Ginny's arm and pulled her away from Draco who stood there speechless. Ginny oddly remembered something happening like this before, "When Ron found me with Draco... odd, our family is so alike." Ginny thought.
****
They reached the Burrow an hour later and Ginny was forced into the living room where she was to be lectured. Her brothers, George, Fred, and Ron, sat down and looked at her with disapproving looks. Harry and Hermione came in and stood at the door quiet. Mr. Weasley stood in front of Ginny heaving with anger, while Mrs. Weasley stood by his side.
'What were you thinking, Ginny?' Mr. Weasley asked.
'Arthur, you don't have to be so harsh.' Mrs. Weasley interrupted.
'Molly, I will act as I like.' Mr. Weasley answered and looked back at Ginny. ( Harry thought during this, "Mrs. Weasley is usually a lot more strict than Mr. Weasley.")
'Dad, I don't know what I was thinking. I just had to see him.' Ginny answered.
'Why did you even go out with him in the first place?' Mr. Weasley asked.
'Why does anyone ever go out?' Mrs. Weasley asked her husband. 'Why did we ever go out? Why, Arthur?'
Confused, Mr. Weasley stood there for a few moments. Then he looked at Ginny.
'Ginny, you are never to see him again.' He said sternly, but this time he didn't yell or scream... he almost seemed like he was sorry for what he said. But he still said it.
Weeping, Ginny ran up to her room and buried her face in her pillow. No one came to her room to see how she was or talk to her, she was alone...

A/N: Oh, her parents found out! I feel even worse about Ginny now =(, but her parents had to find out, and this is how it turned out. Next chapter will tell how the Malfoys took everything. Please Review!
