As Ginny walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast, she was instantly approached by Draco. She immediately felt her face burn and butterflies started swimming around in her stomach.

"Hi," He said, smiling.

"Hi," She smiled back.

"Listen, I'm sorry about what happened on the train. It was all my fault, but I'd really like to talk to you again. Will you meet me by the quidditch field this evening at 6:00?"

'Oh my gosh! This isn't happening!' Ginny thought happily.

"Umm..sure," She replied anxiously.

"I'm sorry about the train too...my brother has an awful temper," She added.

Draco chuckled.

"Don't worry about it. So I'll see you at six?"

"Right," She smiled.

And he sauntered off towards the slytherin table.

Ginny couldn't help but grin widely. 'Maybe I do have a chance with him,' She thought mischievously. As she walked over to her table, Ron caught up with her and immediately confronted her.

"What was that about?" He asked impatiently.

"What was what about, Ron?" She replied, calmly.

"You know what I'm talking about, Ginny! Why were you talking to that prat again?!"

"Ron, he was just being polite and asked me how the rest of my trip went. Is that a problem?"

"It is a problem, Ginny. I don't want you talking to him, do you understand?"

"You're not my father, Ron," And she began walking towards the table.

Ron grabbed her by the arm.

"I don't give a damn, you are my little sister and I don't want you hanging around him. He's bad luck. Do you understand?" He said fiercely.

"Fine," She answered angrily, not wanting to make a scene in front of everyone.

Ron let go of her arm, and she chose a seat next to Collin and began serving herself rather vigorously.

Harry had been sitting, watching them, wondering what was going on.

"What's up?" Collin asked Ginny.

"Oh, my brother's just being an asshole," She replied.

Collin laughed hesitantly.

"I'm sorry," He said.

"It'll be okay,"

She smiled at him and began to eat her breakfast.

A few hours later, in potions, Harry and Ron sat next to eachother, talking about what Snape had planned for them this year. Draco sat directly in front of them, chopping beetles for his potion.

"I'll bet he's going to try to fail us again this year," Ron said.

"Dumbledore wouldn't let him do that," Harry answered.

"But I bet he will anyway," He chuckled again.

Ron began to chop up his beetles as Harry prepared the cauldron.

"What was up with you and Ginny this morning in the Great Hall?" Asked Harry.

Draco heard Harry say the name, "Ginny" and immediately began to listen intently, pretending to do his potions.

"Oh...I saw her talking to Draco and told her to stay away from him. I don't want her near him," Ron told him.

At this Draco became infuriated. He was about to call Ron a stupid git and to leave her alone when Snape told them to clean up their ingredients and get ready to leave. They did so, and as they waited by the door to leave, Harry said, "I saw them on the train. They looked awfully close,"

"Yeah...I know," Ron said.

"I bet Draco's just trying to get her in bed, and if I ever, and I mean ever, find out that he is, I will kill him," He told Harry.

Harry said nothing, and they left the dungeons and went to their next class.

Draco followed. He had been listening to every word they said from the minute Ron mentioned the name Ginny, and he was extremely angry. His intentions were not to get Ginny in bed, but to get to know her better, and if Ron was going to, "kill" him because of this, then that was simply unfair.

"Potter pretends like she doesn't exist, and Weasley simply ignores her unless she does something wrong," He thought.

He walked to his next class, deep in thought about Ginny.
~*~
Ginny too was deep in thought about Draco as she sat in transfiguration pretending to listen to the lecture Professor McGonagall was giving the class.

She couldn't wait until 6:00.

"I hope Ron doesn't find out," She thought, worried.

"I know he would be angry...I think it's best not to tell anyone about this..."

"Miss Weasley, can you tell me how you would transform a chair into a table?" Asked Professor McGonagall, aware that Ginny wasn't paying attention.

"Umm...no professor. Sorry," She confessed, humiliated.

"Well then, try to pay attention," McGonagall said, strictly.

"Okay, sorry professor,"

Ginny started paying attention to class, trying desperately not to let Draco cross her mind.

When transfiguration was over, she walked with Collin to lunch.

"What was causing you from not paying attention?" He asked, jokingly.

"Oh...I was just thinking about someone," She said, not even realizing that she probably shouldn't have said that, as Collin always forced everything out of her.

"Oh really? Who?" He asked, curiously.

Ginny realized what she had just said.

"Oh nevermind, it's nobody," She said quickly.

"Sure...I'll find out later," He said, chuckling.

Ginny smiled slightly and quickly walked over to the Gryffindor table, with Collin trailing behind her. She couldn't tell anyone about Draco...not even her best friend.

As she ate her lunch, she saw Ron and Harry walk into the room, seemingly having a deep conversation. She stared at Harry, wondering if she still had feelings for him. She could tell that they were slowly being replaced with feelings for Draco.

Ron and Harry came and sat down directly across from Ginny. Ron looked at her and whispered something into Harry's ear. Ginny wondered what it was...and hoped it didn't have to do with her and Draco.

She decided to let it go and finished eating her lunch. She stood up and walked out of the Great Hall.

"Do you think anything's going on with Ginny and Draco?" Ron asked, for about the twelfth time.

"I've already told you, I don't know...it's too early to tell," Harry answered, slightly annoyed.

Ron shook his head and served himself some more food. This whole situation with Ginny and Draco was really starting to bother him, even though it seemed so minor. He still wasn't going to let them see eachother...even if it was nothing.

As Ginny walked upstairs towards her dorm, she met Hermione.

"Hi Ginny!" She chirped.

"Hey Hermione,"

"Why so blue?" She asked.

"Oh...it's Ron again. I'm so tired of him acting like he's my father and thinking he can boss me around. I mean he ignores me and whenever I make the tiniest mistake he criticizes me over it. He's really starting to bother me," Ginny answered.

"I'm sorry, Ginny. Is it about Draco?"

"Yeah. We were talking in the Great Hall this morning and he saw us...so as usual he started a scene and told me to stay away from him,"

"Well Ginny, Draco can be very tricky sometimes. He's very mean to us all," Hermione told her.

"I know he is, but he's nice to me," Ginny said protectively.

"I'm sure he is, but be careful, okay?" She pleaded.

"Whatever you say,"

"Thanks. See you later!"

"Bye!"

Ginny continued to walk upstairs to her dorm. She looked at her watch. It was only 12:30.

"I can't wait until 6:00!" She thought.

"I wonder what he has planned..."

And she went upstairs to her room to take a nap.

Draco hurriedly ate his dinner. He didn't want to be late in meeting Ginny. He hoped that she hadn't decided to not go, as he was really looking forward to talking to her, in fact he had been all day.

"Why are you eating so fast?" Asked Crabbe, who had arrived at Hogwarts with Goyle earlier that morning.

"I just have to do some extra studying, and I want to get a good night's rest," Draco lied.

"Oh,"

When he was finished eating, he ran back to his dorm to grab a cloak. When he arrived at the quidditch field, Ginny wasn't there yet. He looked at his watch. It was 5:55.

"So I'm five minutes early...that's not that bad," He thought.

He sat down on the bleachers and waited.

Ginny was up in her dorm getting a cloak to go outside and meet Draco. She glanced at her watch. "Oh my God!" She said aloud. It was already six. She quickly left and ran to the quidditch field. When she got there, she saw Draco waiting for her.

"Sorry I'm late," She said, out of breath.

"That's alright," He told her.

"Sit down,"

She did so, and Draco instantly moved closer to her. He wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, and that he was a fool for not telling her his feelings for her sooner. He looked into her soft brown eyes, wanting so much to kiss her and hold her.

"Ginny..." He said.

"Yes, Draco?"

"I...I have to tell you something,"

"You can tell me anything," She said, suddenly getting very nervous yet excited at the same time.

"I like you, more than a friend...I want to get to know you better," He said, feeling very stupid.

Ginny couldn't take it anymore. Her urge to grab him and kiss him overcame her. She suddenly grabbed him by the neck and pulled him closer to her, and then pressed her lips against his.

It felt so good. Draco let out a soft moan as he began to slide his tongue into her mouth. Ginny felt like she was about to melt. They kissed for about five minutes until they were both out of breath and reluctantly let go.

"I'm sorry," Ginny said

"Why? Don't be sorry at all!" Draco laughed.

Ginny laughed nervously. She felt so embarrassed for doing that. Draco grabbed her and kissed her on the lips once more. Then he let go to ask her something.

"I've heard that we are going to be having a ball in about a month. Would you like to go?" He asked her nervously.

"Yes," She said fast.

"Good," Draco replied.

They kissed once more before they decided that they should go back.

"Thanks, Draco," Ginny smiled.

"No, thank you," He said.

Ginny blushed and walked back up to her common room. She was completely gazed. She felt like she was in Heaven. She didn't respond to Collin when he asked, "where were you?" nor Ron when he said, "Did you finish your homework?"

She even walked passed Harry without looking at him, which was a first. She felt happier than she ever had been.

Draco felt the same way. He almost ran into the door when walking back up to his room, as he was too busy thinking about the evening's events.

"Kissing her felt so good," he thought.

He undressed and climbed into bed, falling asleep thinking of Ginny
