Chapter 9: Breakfast

Draco and Ginny walked into the Great Hall hand in hand. They kissed each other and went their separate ways. At this point, everyone in the Great Hall were both shocked and open mouthed. Ginny walked toward the Gryffindor table, and sat down beside Hermione.

"Good morning!" Ginny said cheerily.

Ron, Harry, and Hermione just looked at her.

"What?" she asked looking at each of them.

They continued to stare at her as if she were a creature from another planet.

"HELLO?! Earth to Ron, Harry, and Hermione!" Ginny said, waving a hand in front of each of their faces.

They couldn't do anything but stare.

"If you don't stop staring, I'm going to go to another table and eat," Ginny said looking at each of them.

"When you say 'another table,' you mean the Slytherin table with your little boyfriend, don't you?" Ron sneered.

"Possibly," Ginny replied hotly.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! IT'S MALFOY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" Ron exclaimed.

"Draco and I have nothing to do with you or anyone else, so stay out of it," Ginny replied.

"Oh, so it's Draco now, is it?" Ron asked.

"Yes, Draco. It's his first name, get used to it. I don't go around calling you Weasley!"

"Oh, get off it! It's sickening to see you two together!" Ron said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry that I'm causing you so much pain!" Ginny said sarcastically. "It's not like I had such a huge problem with you going out with Hermione!"

"That's different!" Ron exclaimed.

"How so?" Ginny sneered.

"It just is!"

"Yea, sure..."

"Oh shut up you two!" Harry said. "We just don't like the idea of you and Draco going out, kissing, or doing anything."

"You don't like the idea? Well, GET USED TO IT! I don't mind you going out with Cho, I don't care who you go out with, it's not my business, and my relationship with Draco is none of yours!" Ginny replied with a bit of anger in her voice.

"But it's Malfoy!" Harry persuaded.

"Your point being...?"

"JUST DON'T DATE HIM!" Harry and Ron shouted at the same time.

"I'll do what I like, thank you very much," Ginny retorted.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were about to get up and leave, when they saw Draco heading towards their table. He sat down next to Ginny and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her on the cheek.

"How are you sweet heart?" he asked Ginny.

"Oh, please!" Ron exclaimed.

Ginny glared at Ron with a look that said 'say one more word and you'll wish you were dead,' and then turned her attention back to Draco, "Fine, you?"

"Wonderful," Draco said while looking at Harry and Ron. He said it in a way that mocked Harry and Ron.

Draco smirked when he saw the look of anger on both their faces. He scooted closer to Ginny and whispered something in her ear. She laughed and kissed his cheek. This action sent Ron over the edge.

What Ron did next was something that no one expected.
