[A/N/Disclaimer/whatever else you want to call it -- --- ~~ lala! Okay so two people liked the first chapter! Thank you very much hehehe. Well here's this one… the song is 'Underappreciated' by Christina Aguilera… enjoy!

I remember when it all first began
We were tight right from the start
It wasn't long before you came on strong
Trying hard to win my heart (trying to win it)

I played hard to get but I couldn't help
I gave up my ironing
You were thoughtful
Careful not to hurt the relationship

What happened to those days when
You used to be compassionate
Caring what I thought and said
So attentive gentleman
Now it's hard to turn your head away from the TV set
Taking me for granted lately
Frankly, it's gotta quit

I feel underappreciated
Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
I'm feeling underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment

Back to the beginning, to the very beginning
When our love was something new
Back when romance was important
Not just another thing to do

I was feeling high on love tonight
Thought I never come back down
Now it seems that you and me
Have lost our solid ground

Half the time I realize
I seem to give more than I get
Funny how things seem to change
After a few years commitment

Used to talk for hours on end
'Bout our dreams while we lay in bed
How I missed those days when you stayed awake
Now you roll over and snore instead

I miss those nice massages
The long for closeness
The way you talk
How it turned me on
The thoughtfulness and the sweetest lips

I needed those days back

'Underappreciated' by Christina Aguilera

Chapter 2

            Ginny was glad she hadn't bothered to apply her usual amount of make-up because now it would be just large black rivers down her cheeks.

            Ginny was getting really emotional when Harry came bounding down the hallway. He'd been looking for her for the past twenty minutes and classes started in five minutes. Ginny breathed heavily and looked up from where she was hunched against the cold, stone wall.

            "H-h-harry?" Ginny looked up at him, her eyes still watered down with tears.

            "Gin, what was that all about? I may have every talent and power in the world, but I just have the worst time reading lips," Harry half grinned and let out a small laugh, hoping Ginny would laugh too, but she didn't.

            Ginny struggled with a smile, but it didn't win. Her depression took over.

            "Ginny, really… what did he say to you?" Harry knelt down next to his best friend's sister and put his books down putting his hand under her chin to raise her gaze back to his eyes for they'd been staring into space.

            "Oh, Harry. After three years he doesn't love me anymore!" Ginny wailed.

            "Ginny, where the heck do you get that idea?!" Harry's worried glance made Ginny smile on the inside.

            "I don't know. I really don't. I guess we're in this part of the relationship where there are so many… different paths we could take. I know he'd like to date other girls and stuff, but I'm just afraid he's only sticking with me because I'm 'popular'," Ginny sighed, let a tear fall down her cheek and blew a strand of hair out of her face.

            "Ginny, if a guy dates you because you're 'popular' then they really don't know the Ginny I know. She's smart, talented, humorous, and just fun to be around… or at least that was the Ginny that used to talk to me." Harry looked down, embarrassed.

            "Harry, that must have been one of the sweetest things anybody's ever said about me," Ginny felt her skin turn the same color as her hair. "I'm sorry for not talking to you lately. Really, I am." Ginny apologized as she felt the familiar warmth of the clear liquid run down her face.

            Harry enveloped Ginny in both of his muscular arms and pulled her into his chest where she buried her face.

            "Ginny…" He whispered into her hair.

            Ginny didn't feel like responding, so she didn't. They sat in silence for about ten minutes before Ginny shot up quickly.

            "Harry, you're missing class!" She sounded apologetic.

            "Ginny, it doesn't matter really." Truthfully Harry just wanted to sit here with her in his arms forever, but how could he tell her that?

            "I'm so sorry, Harry. I seem to ruin everything," Ginny sniffed and put her head in both of her hands again.

            "Ruin?" Harry looked down at Ginny and began stroking her long red hair. "I wouldn't say ruin, anything but ruin."

            Ginny leaned back to put her head into Harry's strong chest, it just seemed to feel so right. You know… them just sitting there.

            Together.

            Harry wrapped his arms around her again and lay his head atop hers and sighed quietly. They were completely so absorbed in each other that they didn't notice the quick footsteps coming down a nearby hallway which just happened to belong to Ginny's best friend.

            "Harry?" Parvati called from the other end of the hallway. Harry's back was to her and Ginny was so entangled in his arms that Parvati couldn't see her from where she was standing.

            Harry's head bolted up and he looked back over his shoulder to see Parvati walking towards them.  He quickly nudged Ginny, whom had fallen into a sweet slumber and slowly her eyelashes fluttered open to reveal her large almond eyes again. Harry could have sworn he saw more of a sparkle in them than he had before.

            "Ginny? Oh, my gosh!" Parvati squeaked and rushed over to them when she spotted Ginny's unmistakable long flowing fiery red hair.

            "Parvati… It really isn't…" Ginny struggled to stand up quickly and when she did, she felt dizzy. Harry stood up quickly enough to catch her before she fell and supported her weight as she leaned on him.

            When Ginny fully awoke and gained back full consciousness she shook her head at Parvati.

            "No really, I promise, Parv…" Ginny began explaining things.

            "How could you do this to Draco!!" Parvati was still gaping at the both of them..

            "Do what to Draco?" Ginny asked, looking at Parvati with a surprised look on her face. "If nothing happened and Draco finds out about it, it shouldn't bother him because if he really did love me, he'd trust me!" Ginny snapped at her best friend, grabbed up her books from the floor and pulled Parvati by the arm down the hall, but what Parvati didn't notice was as she grabbed her books she slipped Harry a note under her robes.

~*~

            Ginny and Parvati rounded the corner into yet another deserted hallway.

            "Ginny, I have a question." Parvati looked at her friend as they walked down the hallway at the same tempo they usually did, this time Ginny didn't care about her invasion of privacy from that piece of thin material stretched too far.

            "What?" Ginny stared ahead of her as they walked. She didn't want to go to Transfiguration.

            "Do you like Harry?"

            Ginny smiled for the first time she could remember the whole day. She'd meant to keep it only on the inside but she couldn't hide it.

            "What does that mean?!" Parvati shrieked again.

            "No, it means no. I do not like Harry Potter," Ginny said calmly and looked at her best friend.

            "It didn't look that way to me. I mean I don't go and have a snogging session with the most famous wizard in history if I don't like him," Parvati said in a matter-of-fact voice.

            "A snogging session?!" Ginny let out a girlish giggle. "Is that what you thought that was!?"

            "Sure didn't look like an everyday friendly encounter to me."

            "I was thinking about this whole Draco thing…" Ginny's voice trailed off and she looked off into the distance.

            "And?"

            Ginny felt as if Parvati was invading her privacy more than trying to be her best friend and supporting her.

            Just before Ginny could tell her anything else, class was over and the halls were herded full as everyone piled into the Great Hall for lunch.

~*~

            Ginny sat in Transfiguration staring into space.

            "Virginia Angela-Marissa Weasley. What a name," Draco maliciously smirked at her. She was only a year younger than him, but quite about shorter. At the time she was a third year and he, a fourth. She had shoulder length wavy red hair and innocent brown eyes that covered half her face with their enormous size.

            "What? Got a problem with it?" She hissed back at him. They were in an extra-curricular cooking class that neither of them wanted to be enrolled in, but they'd had no choice.

            "Ahh, just like you're weasel of a brother, aren't you?" Draco was still smirking at her.

            "No, not quite. Ron's got friends that save the world and I've got friends that couldn't pass a test if they wanted to." Ginny said in a smart alec tone and went back to gathering her ingredients for the muffle muffin recipe they were trying.

            Draco let out a laugh, muffled, yet still a laugh.

            "Ginny Weasley, you aren't anything I imagined you as. I thought the little Weasley would be just like all the others… always wanting attention, suck ups, you know…"

            "Yeah, sometimes I hate being known as the younger sister of fill in name of one of five brothers here." Ginny said sarcastically and blew a strand of curly red hair out of her face.

            Draco laughed, again.

            "Ginny, how'd you like to go out sometime?" Draco looked around, hoping no one had heard him.

            'Is Draco Malfoy asking me out?' kept going through Ginny's head like a marquee. She continued to add eggs to her meal and thought about her response. She didn't really like Draco. He didn't seem her type.

            "Uh… Sorry, Draco. I just don't think it would work. Friends first, huh?" Ginny looked up at him, her brown eyes boring into his.

            "Sorry. I guess I was moving too fast or something…" Draco felt like smacking himself.

            'Good job, Draco!' He beat himself on the inside.

            "So, what are we making again?" Draco's concentration wandered back to his recipe.

            Two weeks later she'd find herself really beginning to enjoy Draco's company. They'd spent quite a few afternoons together at the cooking club and usually after those they sat in the library, helping each other out in studies. (More like Ginny helping him out)…

            Then no sooner than a month after that, he'd begun to tell her everything, every crush, every grade, every emotion, everything. And she did the same. They'd become really close in that month and a half. You really couldn't see one without the other, even after curfew.

            It was one cold December morning during the Christmas holiday and she found Draco waiting for her outside the portrait hole dressed in snow clothes.

            "Want to go on a walk?" Draco asked her. She wasn't wearing snow clothes, just a green turtle neck and blue-jeans.

            "Yeah, let me go get my coat." Ginny smiled and went back to her room to change.

            Ten minutes later they were outside in the front court of Hogwarts'.

            "Ginny…" Draco stopped and turned to her. They weren't standing in front of the school anymore, but they'd walked to one of the edges of the lake which was covered in ice.

            "Yes, Draco?" Ginny looked at him curiously. Everyone by now knows what he's going to say, but Ginny was still clueless.

            "Would you be my girlfriend?" Draco's look was serious, as was his tone.

            "Oh, Draco, stop kidding with me." She playfully hit him in the shoulder, flipped her hair and kept walking around the lake, Draco caught up with her.

            "Ginny…"

            Ginny was still walking and giggling. She could never take him serious.       Draco was getting annoyed so he grabbed her elbow, causing her to stop, and turned her around to face him.

            "I'm serious, Ginny. I'm head over heels for you. Please be my girlfriend?" Draco's silver eyes now stared into hers.

            Her mouth opened. She stuttered for words. 'This better not be a joke!' She thought to herself.

            "Uh… y-y-yes…?" Ginny couldn't fully respond because Draco's arms had fallen around her waist, and she brought hers up around his neck as he kissed her softly, yet full of passion.

            Ginny was snapped out of her reminiscing bliss as Professor McGonagall asked her a question.

            "And Ginny, what happens if someone becomes an animagus without a license?" Professor McGonagall peered at her over her small round spectacles.

            "Uh…" Ginny paused. She had no idea.

            "That's what I thought. Virginia Weasley, would you please desist with the daydreaming and come back to Transfiguration class?" Professor McGonagall snapped.

            "Sorry, ma'am," Ginny gulped.

            She began thinking of Draco again, and it hit her. She knew what she had to do.

~*~

            Ginny looked at reflection staring back at her as she applied all the make-up she owned. She wanted to look extra special for her date tonight.

            With Draco.

            "Ginny, Draco's waiting!" Parvati yelled up the steps to the bathroom.

            "Tell him I'll be there in a moment!" Ginny put in her silver hoop earrings and looked at herself in the mirror. They matched the knee length black halter-top dress she had on accompanied by two identical silver bracelets with small rubies encrusted in it. She smiled, adjusted her dress, and headed down to meet her date.

            "Hey, honey," Draco said and kissed her on the cheek.

            "Hi," Ginny said without smiling. "So where are you taking me tonight?"

            "Hogsmeade's new restaurant, Love is in the Air. A little romance…" Draco smiled and nudged Ginny.

            "Sounds great," Ginny flashed a fake smile.

            Draco might not have fallen out of love with her, but she had definitely fallen out of love with him.

~*~

            "Mm. This is good. What do you think, Gin?" Draco looked up at her as he put another piece of raw meat called steak into his mouth.

            "It's okay," Ginny moved her food around her plate.

            "Ginny, something's bothering you. What is it?"

            Ginny paused, put her fork down and looked up at Draco.

            "You know the other night when you couldn't tell me how long we'd been dating, it really hurt. And I think that finally made me realize that Draco, you really don't love me, and I just really don't love you."

            "What are you saying, Ginny?"

            "Let's make this easy on the both of us and end it now."

            "Ginny, why is this abrupt change of mind so… sudden?" Draco looked a little shocked, like someone had punched him in the gut.

            "To be truthfully honest with you Draco, it's like this: We used to be really close, you told me everything, you know perfect friends, then we dated and for the first year or two it was great. Now I think we're both a little tired of each other and you just don't kiss me the way you used to. It's not… the same."

            "Well, maybe if we took a little break… ?" Draco nodded slowly though, agreeing.

            "You know for awhile there I tried to get it back, what we used to have. And it just seemed I was giving more than receiving, and to be quite honest, I'm tired of it. I feel… underappreciated."

            Draco stared at her. He had nothing more to say. He'd tried, too, even though she hadn't realized. Before he could say another word, Ginny got up and walked out of the restaurant.
