Disclaimer: I owe nothing. I am only borrowing them and playing with them for a little while. If I feel like it maybe I'll be good and put them back when I'm doing... MAYBE!
Author Note: I know that there *HAS* to be a story out there somewhere where there is tutoring involved, but in no way am I trying to steal or copy anything. Tutoring is only in the first few chapters.
Thank you: Once again to Beck! Thanks for the help girl!!
Author Note #2: This is my first time writing a HP story so please be kind when reviewing.
Disclaimer #2: Leann Rimes sings "Life goes on" and I do not own it.
WARNING!!!: I *WILL* be using song titles as chapter titles, so if they seem a little weird title chapters, it's mainly just because.
Warning #2: At some points Draco and Ginny will probably be acting out of character.

A week later...
It was late; Ginny was sitting on her windowsill waiting to hear from Draco. While waiting, she was remembering how much happened within the week.
~*~Flashback~*~
The day after Professor McGonagall told Ginny she had to tutor Draco all summer long, they had their big end of the year feast. Gryffindor won the House Cup at the end of the year, beating Slytherin house by only 5 points.
The next day they all bordered the Hogwarts Express to go back home. Hermione and Lavender insisted that Ginny sit with them in their compartment. Ginny smiled; she knew they were trying to make her feel part of the group, but they weren't doing that good of a job. While in the compartment, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Lavender wouldn't stop talking about their big trip to Romania. They talked about how much fun they were going to have, and the girls couldn't stop talking about Sarah and Charlie's first little baby.
Ginny could tell that tears were about to roll down her cheeks so she got up and left. No one asked where she was going, so she suspected that no one noticed that she left. She went looking for some of the girls that she hung out with, but unfortunately she found
someone else. When she opened a compartment door, she saw Draco Malfoy sitting all by himself.
"Hey! Ever hear of knocking Weasley?!" he growled.
Ginny mumbled, "Sorry. Do you mind if I sit with you?"
"What?!" Draco looked up at her.
"You're all alone here and I'm looking for an empty compartment."
She could see Draco's expression soften up very slightly and before he could answer her she said, "Thanks," closed the door behind her, and sat down next to the window.
They were both quiet for a long time, but Ginny soon fixed that. Without even looking at Draco, she asked, "So have you decided what you are going to tell your father?"
"What are you talking about?"
Ginny sighed, turned her head around and said, "About why you're coming to my house."
Draco looked down at his shoes, "Well, I'm hoping that he's not going to be home much this summer, but if he is then I decided that I would tell him that *I* am tutoring *you*."
He expected a little fight from Ginny, but all she said was, "Fine. Whatever. Doesn't bother me."
Draco knew that something was up with Ginny, but didn't feel like asking because he didn't care.
A while later Draco knew they were coming close to the station. He, not wanting Potter and Weasley catching Ginny in there and asking questions, decided to get her to leave. Draco looked over to her and noticed that she fell asleep. "Hey Weasley!" Draco called out, but Ginny didn't wake up. He kicked her a little hard in the leg.
"Hey!" Ginny woke up rubbing her leg.
"We're almost at Platform 9 3/4."
"Oh. Did you have to kick me?"
"Oh quiet down, Weasley. I didn't do it too hard. Now get going before your brother or your Potter finds you."
Ginny, a little insulted, got up and left giving him a soft, "Bye".
By the time she got back to her compartment, they had already arrived at the train station. She crept in and all of them were making out; one pair on each couch.
Ginny cleared her throat, but nothing happened. "Come on guys we're here," she muttered, but still nothing. "Come on, don't make me conjure up a hose!" Ginny
decided to mumble a soft spell and before she knew it, all four of them were hurled to the floor with a loud thump.
"Hey!" Harry and Ron exclaimed.
Ginny grabbed her carry-on bag, flung it over her shoulder, and said, "Let's go! We're at Platform 9 3/4." She left to go grab her other things.
That week seemed to go by very quickly. Ginny asked her parents not to tell the boys whom she was tutoring and they agreed not to.
On the day the boys left, Ron looked at Ginny and asked, "You sure you don't want to come with us?"
'What a prat!' she said to herself. 'First he begs me not to go with them, and now he's asking me to go. He just wants to sound like a good brother.' "Nah, I told you. I'm tutoring that Ravenclaw from a year below me."
"Oh, that's right. Good luck with that."
Fred, George, and Percy all gave her hugs. Everyone was really glad to go, except Percy. "I go and take a summer off from work to go see my brother," he whined, "but will he come here? Nooo!"
"That's enough Percy," Mr. Weasley reprimanded him.
"Yes, Father." Percy didn't stop arguing, but he did complain quieter.
Harry, Hermione, and Lavender all smiled, said bye to Ginny, and all left by Floo powder to Charlie's house.
Ginny went to go write to Draco that he was to come over the next day.
~*~Back to the Present~*~
Ginny was half asleep when she heard a soft knocking on the window. She looked and saw a rather beautiful owl standing there. She opened the window and the owl came in. She grabbed the letter that was attached to its leg and offered it a piece of cookie. The owl took it and flew out of the window. Ginny looked at the parchment, which read:
"Sounds fine. I'll be there in the morning."
No names, no nothing. "Bastard," she said. She climbed into bed and was thinking of how her summer had now turned from awful to dreadful. A whole two and a half months of Malfoy. Ginny sighed, thought, and then fell asleep.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Author note: I have no clue how far they can actually travel using floo powder, so I'm gonna pretend that it can reach Romania.
Thank you to all those who have begun to review already. Thanks guys! I really appreciate everything!! Hope you all continue enjoying.
