A/N: hey! I changed the summary! Woohoo! The old one didn't seem very catchy…
Oh, and sorry for the tenses!
Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed! Here is the 11th chapter…
Chapter 11: Forget
Maybe I can learn to accept him…
Maybe he can make me forget about Harry …
Maybe…
I can learn to love him…
But a voice somewhere in the corner of her mind screamed that this was wrong.
All wrong.
Not right at all. It felt like…
he was betraying Harry.
But why? They were over, weren't they?
This was the only way she thought she can get over all the pain, all the sadness…
Then why? Why does this feel so wrong?
Draco's lips suddenly pulled away. His face was unreadable.
"What are we doing?" he asked quietly, slowly standing apart from her
Ginny's mind was also forming the same question. She decided to answer him. "We… we were kissing…"
"I know. But why?" Draco frowned "Is there still something between you and-"
"No" Ginny said "There is nothing… at all…anymore"
That's right…
You don't love him anymore…
Not anymore…
Draco looked at her face, as if examining it. Ginny suddenly felt self-conscious, she didn't like people staring at her like that.
Then Draco advanced on her, and again kissed her softly on the lips. Ginny marveled at the very act.
She needed to forget about Harry, and she will, by all means, do so.
She delved in deeper into Draco's mouth, and forcefully erased all thoughts of Harry.
Make me forget…

"What?!" Ron fumed, not at all believing his ears. He glared at his sister, who in turn, looked very calm.
"I am going to the Yule Ball with Draco" she said, as if this was perfectly normal.
"What in bloody hell is wrong with you?! you cannot and will not go with Malfoy!"
"You aren't someone to order me around, Ron."
"I'm your older brother!"
"You're older by one year"
"That's enough to make me superior to you! And I know that Draco is just one arrogant git with no respect for others and-"
"You don't know him, Ron. I do. And he's not at all like anything you think he is." She stated "I am going to the Yule Ball with him, and there is nothing you can do about it."
Ron withered at her and finally decided to let it go. He knew his sister was strong, and he wouldn't be able to stop her anyway. So why try?
"Does Harry know?" he asked looking at her steadily
She shook her head. "I don't mind who he goes with, he can go with Cho for all I care, so he's not entitled to know who I'm going with either"
Doing a great job, Ginny
Superb.
That's right.
You don't care.
"I'm going to class, you better be going ,too" She turned to the portrait hole and left with not another word.
***************************************************************************************************************
The Yule Ball was drawing nearer, and Harry was oblivious to the fact that he didn't have date.
Why the hell should he care, if Ginny wasn't his partner?
He wasn't going to the stupid Yule Ball. Or at least not with a date.
All he cared about was getting Ginny back. He needed to tell her about the whole incident, and make things clear.
That's why he was going to her class right now. He wasn't going to wait any longer. He was determined to talk to her. And make her listen.
In a corner, he watched the door open, and all the students excitedly gushing out. He searched for a hint of red among the many heads. Finally finding her flaming red hair, he stepped out of the corner. Too many students were in his way, so he tiptoed to see her better.
And as he did, he saw him.
Draco Malfoy, holding Ginny's hand. He has also been waiting for her on the other corner. He stiffened at the scene.
And finally, without thinking, he lost it.
He ran towards them and got his wand out. Draco saw him and did the same, his free hand not leaving Ginny's. She wasn't aware of Harry being there.
"Get your hands off her" Harry said austerely, pointing his wand at Draco.
Ginny turned around, and was surprised to see a very serious Harry Potter.
Draco smirked, pointing his own wand at his opponent. "Why should I?"
Ginny was staring at Harry with daggers. Then, as if Harry felt her piercing glare, he shifted his attention to her. He then stared at her as well, a very nervous expression on his face.
Ginny brought her hand up, and put it on Harry's wand, declining it.
"Ginny…" Harry started
"Let's go, Draco" Ginny pretended not to hear, and turned her back on him.
Draco put his wand down as well, but his eyes were still on Harry. He has never seen his enemy like this.
So inconsolable.
So forlorn.
Do you really love her, Potter?
Ginny tugged on his robes and he abruptly looked away.
"Yes, let's go…" he answered, and they departed.
