Ginny practically floated down to breakfast the next morning. She
was buttering some toast and humming to herself when Hermione gave her a
peculiar look. She leaned in closer and said, so Harry, on her her other
side, couldn't here, "Who is it?"
Ginny jumped and frowned at her. "Who is what?"
"C'mon. You're acting like some kind of lovesick puppy."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hmm.could it be.Neville?"
Ginny gave her a look of revulsion.
"Guess not. Seamus?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Dean?"
"Mione."
"Or maybe that cute new keeper on the team."
"MIONE!"
Everyone looked up and Ginny gave them a weak smile. When they went
back to their food, she shot Hermione a venomous look, got up, and stalked
out of the room.

Across the room, Draco could see the smile on Ginny's face, no longer plastered like it used to be. He smiled and turned back to his food. He couldn't be caught staring at her, people would suspect. He snuck a glance at her a few minutes later just in time to hear her yell something with an agitated look on her face. She gave Hermione a look he couldn't make out from across the room and walked out of the Great Hall, obviously angry. He looked around. Nobody noticed he was even there, so he got up and began to casually walk out. But he was waylaid by Pansy Parkinson. She jumped up from her spot at the table and ran to meet him. When he didn't take any notice of her, she moved in front of him and stopped him. "Well, you've probably heard by now." She said in her high pitched, sour note. "Heard wht Pansy?" he sighed. "Well, my new boyfriend was snogging some girl in the broom closet so I dumped him on his arse. I'm free now." "So.?" Draco shook his head slowly. "So.I'm all yours!" she tried to put her arms around him but he ducked and walked around her. "Draco Lucious Malfoy!" she screeched, her hands on her hips. Draco cringed. Pansy continued, "What has gotten into you?" 'A perky little red-head. That's what' He thought. Out loud, he said, "I'm over you Pansy. In fact, I don't think I was ever into you! Get yourself a new lapdog. Cause it's not gonna be me this time!" he turned and stormed out of the hall before she could get another word in.
