            Where are they?! Goddamnit! And I thought I was late!!

"Ginny!" Ginny looked up and met the eyes of Ron, who looked as harassed and worried as ever before.

"Ginny! You were supposed to meet us here an HOUR ago!! Where have you been?!" he added, taking long deep breaths and pointing at the street leading to 'Flourish and Blotts.'

"Ron, I...I'm sorry I just saw the latest muggle fashion magazine on Dad's study table. You know the study table right across from the fireplace? So I just sat down and was amazed! Those clothes are VERY nice, I'm SO SORRY Ron." Ginny then tried to pull the sorriest face she could and pretended to be awfully sorry.

Ron just scoffed and retorted, "Let's go! Harry and Hermione are waiting at Flourish and Blotts!"

Ginny nodded and followed him, pacing herself from the long way over. Walking with Ron was very disturbing and uncomfortable; he still couldn't get over the fact that she was sorry, and wouldn't talk to Ginny. When they got to the front of the store Ginny gasped in surprise. Harry was looking shaken and literally 'pissed off' *as muggles would say*, and Hermione looked as if she was crying.

"'What happened?!" Ron asked while running to them.

Ginny just stood there where she was, uncomfortable and not wanting to hear what had happened. She had a feeling it had something to do with her, because she glanced at Harry and saw him swallow hard and whisper something in Ron's ear. Hermione just stood there where she was, eyeing Ginny as if trying to pry something out of her. Ginny shifted a bit before feeling an arm on her shoulder looking up, she met Harry's eyes.

"Ginny? Can I have a word?" he asked, with much difficulty it seemed to Ginny, because he seemed to want to puke right then and there.

"Sure Harry." She shuddered a bit while following Harry into a corner and facing him,

"What's Up?"

"Well….Um…Erm…" Harry really tried to be sensible, and then he began, "It all started when…"


*~¤Flashback¤~*


Harry and Hermione were waiting for Ron to come back with Ginny; they stayed behind to buy their books, while going out of Flourish and Blotts, Hermione as usual, had more than she could carry. Harry had offered to help but she simply refused.

"No Harry, I'm alright," Hermione answered to Harry for the fifteenth time calmly, while struggling with the books.

Forbidden

While going outside, Hermione bumped into someone books flying all over the place. She looked up to see who pushed her.

It was Draco.

"Damnit Mudblood! Now I'll have to burn my robes!" Draco spat at Hermione, who was slowly picking up the books not bothering or wanting to look up again.

"Pick them up Malfoy! It was your fault not hers!!" Harry stepped in, eyeing Malfoy with hatred.

"Just because you're a Mudblood lover Potter, doesn't mean I have to be one too. Besides, I'm sure you can get Ginny as your consolation if you're so upset." Draco's reply was dripping with venom and malice.

Harry looked as if he was about to blow, before he could say anything Draco added, "But of course! Ginny finally used her senses and found you boring, oddly enough, word around here says you like her"

"Malfoy, at least someone actually likes me without being paid for it." Harry knew it was a bit of a weak comeback, but he was so upset he couldn't even think straight.

Draco then sneered, and before turning around to go, he added dangerously, "You know, Ginny moans and uses her tongue?" He then smirked and disappeared into the crowd of people, leaving an astonished Hermione and awestruck Harry behind.
