Chapter 5 - The Ball
~*~*~
The days passed fast, and the ball approached. Of course for the Gryffindor fourth-years they cleaned up some of the rooms as a punishment (Snape decided not to hold them back doing nothing but to let them clean rooms instead).
When the day of the ball arrived slightly more than a week later, Ginny went with Draco; Eric with Louise; Harry with Hermione; Ron with Cho... Ron gaped when he saw Ginny with Draco. He muttered something that sounded like "The stupid butthead" as he danced with Cho. Cho, of course, was still quiet upset about Cedric, but she knew Ron was one of the sweetest guys ever, next to Cedric and Harry (Harry politely refused to go to the ball with Cho). The ball lasted until midnight, so the students had lots of time to dance.
"You look beautiful," Draco whispered.
"Thanks. You look good too," Ginny mumbled, her face turning red.
Draco twirled Ginny around and he kissed her lightly on the cheek. He led her outside, to the Quidditch field. Ginny reluctantly followed. Draco sensed this and muttered quietly, "Trust me." He looked her straight in the eye when he said this, so Ginny trusted him.
"Eric confronted me last Tuesday."
"He - he what?!" Ginny burst out, bewildered.
"Is that what he's like?" Draco sighed.
"No. He would never have done that!"
"He did do that. Last Tuesday."
"So why are you telling me this?"
"Remember I told you I loved you?"
"Yes..." Ginny said, unsure of what Draco's next move would be.
"He loves you more."
"Eric said he had a crush on me! He never said he loved me!"
"Almost the same."
"So, you took me here to break up with me?"
"We never were boyfriend-and-girlfriend, were we?"
"No, I suppose not."
"Well, Ginny, I just want to wish you and Eric good luck."
"Draco!"
"I love you, but I want you to be happy."
"I am happy."
"You will be happier with him. After all, I cannot continue..." Draco's voice trailed off.
"Continue what?"
"Both of us, we cannot continue dating. The Slytherins will surely taunt you all the time. And the Gryffindors hate me."
"Who cares?"
"Not me. But we... are not, um, right for each other." Draco said, and by the tone of his voice, he wanted to end the conversation. Ginny nodded and turned around, heading back to the ball.

A/N: I dunno what happened to D/G. Oh well. I guess I'm allergic to typing/writing them. But I don't mind reading them. This is the last chapter, so... sorry, guys/gals!
