Disclaimer: I don't own any of these people at all so just enjoy the little tale I'm tell with things that aren't mine at all.

Ginny was a little surprised by Draco's behavior. She cared about him in a way she'd never cared about anyone before and knew he was feeling the same way. She figured his emotions were much more than he had ever had to deal with before. Even though she was surprised by his behavior she was a little excited by it also because it meant that he liked her a lot and felt protective of her. She wanted to talk to someone to find out if it was a normal thing and luckily she hadn't been lying to Draco when she'd told him she had to go and meet Hermione because she did and Hermione was the perfect person to talk to.

            She walked into the room to find Hermione sitting in a plush chair reading a huge book. Ginny looked at her and realized that she and Ron were pretty much opposites in many ways. She was studious while he liked to ignore the studies; she was a bit snobby sometimes when he was completely laid back. Maybe that's why they got on so well. Maybe that's why she felt this attraction to Draco because opposites DO attract. 

            "Hi Hermione." Ginny greeted announcing her presence and she hoped that it wasn't too obvious she had just been violently accosted in a hallway.

            "Hi Ginny." Hermione marked her place and put her book down while Ginny sat in the chair next to her. 

            "How are you?" Ginny asked.

            "I'm good." Hermione looked at her then reached over and touched her fingers to Ginny's mouth. "Why's your lip bleeding?" Hermione asked then reached over and grabbed a Kleenex from the table next to her and handed it to Ginny.

            "Oh that! I bit it while I was chewing some gum earlier." She blatantly lied.

            "Well that's an odd thing to do." Hermione looked at Ginny like she was retarded and like she didn't believe her for a minute.

            "You're right. I did it kissing an absolutely gorgeous guy who got a little overzealous." If Hermione didn't believe a lie then she'd get the truth.

            "Really? Who?" Hermione asked interestedly and Ginny was surprised Hermione believed her.

            "Guess." Ginny was stalling because she didn't want to tell Hermione gorgeous guy was Draco.

            "Who could it be??" She thought for a moment. "Neville?"

            Ginny made a face then pulled the Kleenex away from her lip and look at it to find it was still bleeding a little. "I said gorgeous and I mean gorgeous." Ginny emphasized the gorgeous both times.

            "Well then...Harry?"

            "Definitely not Harry."

            "Not Harry?? Well I'm at a loss, tell me who then." Hermione looked at her expectantly and Ginny assumed there was no way she'd understand her and Draco right now.

            "How about you think and get back to me." Ginny asked hoping Hermione wouldn't be upset that she was keeping the secret from her.

            Hermione's face fell at being shut out by her best friend, then lit back up in amusement. "This is a secret affair then?? Ok I'll have a new guess for you later. You'll see I'll get it eventually. I alw-----Whatever Hermione was going to say was interrupted by Ron storming into the room and glaring at her. He totally ignored Ginny not even noticing her.

            "What in the hell are you playing at Hermione?!!" He yelled at her.

            Hermione looked puzzled at him. "What are you talking about Ron? Could you be more specific or do I have to guess." She looked over and smiled at Ginny but Ron still didn't notice her.

            "Don't give me that. You know exactly what I'm talking about. So stop treating my like an idiot!!"

            "What?" Hermione actually looked totally confused.

            "You and that bloody Viktor Krum, that's what!!" He yelled and Hermione gasped in shock.

            "It was only once and we've had this discussion already. I'm sorry ok??" She shot back. "I cannot believe you're bringing this up Ronald Weasley."

            "No Hermione it's not ok! Are you sure there isn't something else you think you possibly should tell me about?!!" Ron was still yelling and still very angry. Ginny just sat back watching the scene unfold.

            "No nothing!" Hermione got up from her chair and walked to stand closer to him.

            "Well then these must be nothing important then!!" He pulled a stack of letters out of his back pocket.

            Hermione gasped yet again, which for some reason Ginny found inordinately funny but managed to stifle her giggles, "You went into my stuff??!!" Hermione's voice rose steadily with every word of the sentence.

            "It's a good thing too! If I hadn't I never would have discovered all the things about you and him!" He waved the letters around in front of her face. Hermione grabbed them and threw them on the chair behind her. "You lied to me Hermione!!"

            "Those letters are from him to me not vice-versa! I didn't ask him to write anything in them, he did it by himself. Besides most of those are old! I haven't seen him since the ball. I wouldn't lie to you Ron and you know it. Think about it." Hermione stopped yelling and was now talking in a more calm voice.

            Ron was visibly relaxed but not ready to yet give up the fight.

            "What was it did you like your ride on his "broomstick" more than mine?" He asked sarcastically.

            Hermione couldn't help it she started laughing at him. She laughed right in his face and was relived to see him struggling not to smile with her. Suddenly it was like a light went on in Ron's head and he noticed Ginny.

            "Hey Gin." He turned a very deep red and wanted to make a quick exit. "I didn't see you sitting there. I'm gonna go talk to Harry about something. Bye!" Her walked over and kissed Hermione very soundly and quickly left the room.

            Ginny looked at Hermione shocked by her brother's behavior. "What was that about?" she asked.

            Hermione walked over and picked up the letters from the chair where she had thrown them earlier. She sat down next to Ginny again. "He was upset about some letters I got from Viktor." She said as if that explained everything.

            "But he was really upset, it's got to be more than letters." Ginny assumed because she never figured Ron for a very jealous kinda guy.

            "Ron gets upset because Viktor was my first and then I kissed him two years ago at a ball when Ron and I were already together. Well not officially together but sorta anyway, I did it because Ron made me mad and I was trying to get back at him." Hermione stacked the letters into a pile and set them on her lap.

            Ginny's jaw had dropped; she was still stuck on the first part of that sentence. "Viktor was your first?"

            "Yep. You thought Ron was right? Most people do which is fine with me. I did it with Viktor because he liked me. He singled me out for attention even though he was this huge famous Quidditch player he chose me. I did it also because it was so not who I am, it was the opposite of me. I'm the smart one, the head girl all that right?? So why not go do this thing that was a total turnaround from typical me." Hermione shrugged since she had no more to say.

            "Did it hurt? The first time I mean?" Ginny tried not to sound to interested but couldn't help it; sex had been on her mind ever since Draco had touched her breast in the library a while ago.

            "It hurt a lot actually. I think because---this is probably too much information," she interrupted herself, "because he was so big. He's huge and it hurt a lot. The second time wasn't so bad but it was about that time I realized I didn't want to be with him like that anymore. We still went out for a while but I only dated him trying to get over Ron. It didn't work."

            "What about after that?"

            "Why're you so concerned about sex all of a sudden Gin?" Hermione eyed her intently. "Is it this gorgeous mystery guy?"

            Ginny blushed. "Maybe...I don't know. I like him but I'm just not sure of myself."

            "Gin, sex is a big deal. Maybe not to all people but to girls like you and me that get very emotionally involved sex is huge. It's like baring a part of your soul to someone, you can't ever take that back. Some people can do the one-night stands and love it but I never could. I love Ron so much that it physically hurts to think of something happening to him at all and I think that's the kind of relationship you should have sex in. Not some little piddly relationship that won't last. He might be able to walk away but I don't think you could." Hermione told her in all honesty.

            "So you're saying I shouldn't have sex with this person?"

            "No. I'm saying make sure you really want it before you do it. Otherwise you might get really hurt."

            Ginny looked down at the tissue in her hands thinking that maybe somehow this was symbolic. Her blood that Draco had spilt speckled the white tissue. Draco could hurt her beyond any pain she'd ever known, she realized. It scared her. "Hermione it's getting late. Why don't we go get something to eat. I'm starving."

            "Are you ok?" Hermione asked Ginny who nodded her answer. "Let's go then."
