Author's Note: OMG! Thank you all soooo much for reviewing and liking the last two chapters so far! Here's the third chapter. I hope it lives up to the standard of the first two, hehehehe ^_~

Disclaimer: I must've written this numerous times as it is and you know what? NOT MINE!!!

Summary: Ginny Weasley received the shocker of a lifetime when she entered her sixth year at Hogwarts. She fell in love with the last person on earth she thought she'd fall for. Now she had to do everything in her power to grab his attention and make him hers--even if she had to face the wrath of her six brothers and her parents, not to mention the wrath of Hermione and Harry when they found out what she was planning to do.

Setting: Ginny is in her 6th year; Draco is in his 7th year

III. The Feeling's Only Mutual

After dinner that night Ginny decided to head to the library for some much needed study time. She wouldn't get any studying done in the Gryffindor common room because everybody seemed to be in high spirits concerning the upcoming Quidditch match against Ravenclaw the next day.

"My, my, looks like the little weasel is up for some rendezvous." came a sneering remark from none other than the boy who has infiltrated her mind since the start of her day.

Ginny stopped walking and turned to the direction where Draco was lounging against one of the pillars rather lazily, arms crossed over his wide chest, his blond head cocked to the side and his hair a messy tangle of hair resting on his head.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" she snapped irately.

Draco raised an eyebrow and pushed away from the pillar where he lounged. He crossed the distance between him and Ginny, stopping just at arm's length away from her, his six foot three frame towering over her five foot three frame. She wasn't really that short, but next to Draco Malfoy she looked like a dwarf!

"What made you think I want something, Weasel?" he taunted.

Ginny kept her temper in check. She wouldn't be goaded into an argument with Draco at this time of the evening. Hell, she needed to get to the library and study--not to putz around in the hallway arguing with Draco Malfoy over God knows what! He was really starting to get on her nerves, something that hasn't happened before. And against her liking she has been thinking about Draco Malfoy a lot lately, and it wasn't in any unpleasant light at all either--to her chagrin.

"Well then, if you don't want anything then, Ferret Boy, I suggest you get out of my way and let me get to where I'm going." she demanded.

"And where might that be, hm?" he inquired.

"As if you care." she pushed him aside and walked on, leaving a stunned Draco gaping after her.

She must have taken about five steps before she heard another pair of footfalls form behind her. When she looked over her shoulder she saw Draco running up to her. Oh brother. What does he want now?

"You must be really bored, Malfoy." she muttered when he was close enough to hear.

"Really?" he looked surprised, "What made you say that I must be really bored, hm?"

"Because you won't quit following me around, that's why!" she snapped, stopping just outside the library doors and turned to face him, "But I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ferret Boy, I don't have time for you right now so would you mind slithering away somewhere else and look for somebody else to annoy, hm?" she gave him a quick once-over look from head to foot then back up to meet his eyes.

"My, my, be still my heart, but the Weasel has the guts to tell me off." he replied dryly, a smirk plastered on his handsome face as he looked at Ginny in a whole new light. "You've got guts, Red."

"Yeah, whatever. Now excuse me. I have to study." she turned her back to him and entered the library with her chin jutted high into the air.

~*~

Draco remained standing by the entrance door to the library, watching the petite and very engaging Gryffindor redhead sashay her alluringly curvy body away. Damn but she was hot! Since their encounter at breakfast this morning he has thought nothing but her the whole day! He began to see her in a whole new light, something he thought he'd never do when it comes to any member of the Weasley clan.

He could still remember the feeling of having her soft, supple body pressed against him this morning when they ran into each other. Now he knows and understands why most of his male housemates often fantasize about her a lot; she has a helluva soft body that was made for loving! And it wasn't the rough kind of loving too.

No, the kind of loving fit for Ginny Weasley required more than a quick wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am.

What the hell?! You're thinking of bonking Ginny Weasley? Draco's subconscious mind demanded in shock, Since when in the world did you want to score with the youngest Weasley offspring?

Draco scowled to no one in particular, his steel gray eyes still fixed on the petite redhead that made a sudden left on one of the aisles in the library. He turned on his heel and left the library, mentally berating himself for thinking about Ginny Weasley as a prospective lover--or worse, as a prospective girlfriend.

"Get real, Malfoy." he muttered to himself before turning towards the direction of the Slytherin dungeons.
