(A/N: I have no idea what I'm going to write in this chapter . . . so if it's gay . . . u noe y!!)
After her friends had left, Ginny got up from her bed and went to look in her mirror. Her eyes were all red and puffy. If only Hermione were here to help her with a spell to fix them, she missed her so much already. Instead she bent her head forward so her hair covered up her eyes, so no one would notice.

She walked down the stairs and all the way to the Great Hall without anyone noticing her puffed up eyes.

She sat between Jenny and Laura, who stopped talking as soon as they saw her enter the Hall.

"It's OK you guys. Carry on with your conversation," said Ginny, sulkily.

"Ginny, look at me," commanded Laura. "You have to stop this, it's tearing you apart!"

Ginny just stared at her, tears leaking from her eyes again.

"She's right you know," said Jenny, rubbing Ginny's back. "Hopefully thins will be a little better after you talk to him."

"I hope so," whispered Ginny.

On the other side of the Great Hall, Draco watched what was happening at the Gryffindor table. He could see that her eyes were all puffy and red. Obviously she had been crying . . . a lot. "What have I done?" he thought. "I have to make things right again."

As soon as the bell rang after class, Ginny ran to her dorm and dumped her books on her bed, then ran back down to the lake. "Dammit, I shouldn't have gotten here so quickly, now I feel like a total idiot!" thought Ginny, panting.

After a couple of minutes she began to worry. "What if he isn't coming?" she thought. But just then, she saw Draco exiting the school.

She looked away, pretending she hadn't seen him. She didn't want to seem too desperate.

"Hey Ginny," he said when he reached her.

"Hi," she said quietly.

"Look, about before, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It's just that, I thought you loved me. I love you."

At these last three words, Ginny snapped her head up and stared into his eyes. "What did you just say?"

"I love you, Gin."

Ginny started to cry again, but this time it was because she was happy. She gave him a great big hug, which made Draco very surprised.

"So I take it you're not angry at me anymore," said Draco, when she pulled away.

"I was never angry at you, Draco! Just really upset, but I'm feeling so much better now."

As she said this, Draco bent his head forward and planted his lips on hers. It was just a peck, but it was enough for Ginny to say, "I love you too, Draco."

******

They walked back up to the castle, hand in hand, and promised to meet again tomorrow.

Ginny was so excited when she got to her dormitory. Jenny and Laura were waiting for her and when she entered they begged her to tell them what had happened.

"Well, judging by that huge smile on you face, and the fact that you smell like Lynx, I'd say that things went well?" said Laura, grinning.

"I do?" replied Ginny. "I was just about to have a shower anyway." Jenny and Laura laughed and gave their best friend a big hug.

******

The next day, Ginny and Draco met again, just like they'd promised, because they were going to go to Hogsmeade.

"Hey Gin, I missed you," said Draco, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Aww, is that all I get?" said Ginny, pouting.

"Yeah, just for now," replied Draco, winking then giving her a hug. "Do you want to go to Hogsmeade now, or a bit later?"

"Let's go now, I'm bored! I just have to go and get my bag, wait here."

"OK, but don't take too long."

"I won't," replied Ginny, blowing him a kiss.

******

They had decided to get lunch first when they reached Hogsmeade.

"I'm not going to let you spend any money today, Gin," commanded Draco, when they sat at the table.

"But I was going to get Ron a birthday present. It's his birthday next week, you know," said Ginny.

"Oh, well, apart from that you're not spending any money."

"But what about lunch and everything?" asked Ginny.

"I've got lots of money, so I can buy it for you."

"Aww, thanks Draco, but you don't have to you know."

"No, I want to," he said smiling.

"Thanks, Draccie!"

"Ahh, don't call me that!"

Just then Madame Rosmerta came up to their table to take their orders. "Are you ready to order, or do you just want to order drinks for now?"

"We'll take two butterbeers for now," replied Draco.

"Two butterbeers," said Madame Rosmerta as she wrote it down on her little note pad. "I'll come back later for the rest of your order."

"Thank you," said Ginny, as she walked away. "And thank you, Draco!"

"No problem," replied Draco, holding her hands across the table and smiling.

"So, what are we going to do after lunch?"

"I've got a surprise for you."

"Ooh! What is it?"

Draco just laughed and kissed her hand, making Ginny give him a huge smile.

"Two butterbeers," said Madame Rosmerta, placing the glasses on the table. "So, have you decided what you'd like to order yet?"

"I'll have the soup of the day, and Ginny, what would you like, my precious?" asked Draco.

Ginny giggled before saying, "I'll have the same thanks."

"What's so funny?" asked Draco, when Madame Rosmerta left.

"Oh, nothing, precious!" laughed Ginny.

"What's wrong with precious?"

"Nothing!" replied Ginny, trying not to smile.

When Draco and Ginny had finished eating, Draco payed the bill then guided Ginny to a very expensive looking dress shop.

Ginny couldn't stop staring at the prices on the dresses. "Uh . . . Draco?? I think we should go to a different shop . . ."

"Don't be silly! I want to buy you a dress," said Draco, pushing her into the shop.

It was like being at a fancy ball. There were beautiful dresses hanging up all around the shop and Ginny had to choose just one from them all. She knew it was going to take a long time for her to decide.

"Go ahead, Gin. Choose one," said Draco.

Ginny couldn't believe it. She tried to remember the last time she'd been in a shop like this, hang on, she hadn't been in a shop like this . . . ever!

"Hi, can I help you?" asked a sales lady.

"Oh, uh . . ." stammered Ginny.

"We're looking for a dress, well . . . not me, her," cut in Draco.

The sales lady laughed then said, "Well, what's the dress for? Any special occasion?"

"No, not really. Just something fancy to wear out," said Draco.

Ginny wasn't listening to what Draco and the sales lady were saying. She was too busy looking at all the dresses. They were in every colour imaginable.

"Well, let's have a look at you," said the sales lady.

"What? Oh, sorry . . ." said Ginny, standing up straight.

"Oh, you're so beautiful, what was your name? Ginny? What a beautiful name!" said the sales lady.

"Why, thank you," said Ginny, looking at the sales lady's name tag which read Pamela then looking at Draco, who was standing there smiling.

"Now, you have green eyes, so something green would bring out the colour in your eyes, umm, let's have a look . . ." said Pamela, looking around for something green. "Try this one."

Ginny's jaw dropped when she saw the dress Pamela pulled out. It was probably the most beautiful dress in the store. It was green (A/N: obviously =|) and very slim looking, but the bottom flared out. It was also strapless and had a long split at the side, which was what made Draco like it.

"Oh, it's beautiful!" exclaimed Ginny.

"Let's try it on then, shall we?" asked Pamela, guiding Ginny towards the changing rooms.

"Make sure you come out and show me what it looks like," called Draco, as Ginny entered a change room.

A couple of minutes later, Ginny pulled back the curtain and this time it was Draco's jaw that dropped. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked in that dress. He could also see her cleavage and a lot of her leg.

"Ginny . . . you look . . . well . . . amazing!" exclaimed Draco.

"Isn't she gorgeous?" said Pamela.

"Thank you," said Ginny, shyly. "But isn't it a bit revealing? I mean, it's a bit low and it shows a lot of my leg."

"Ah, but that's what makes it all the better!" said Draco, smirking.

Pamela laughed then said, "It does look very good on you. You have a great body and it seems the dress was made for you!"

"Are you sure? I mean, what would mum say?" asked Ginny, looking worried.

"C'mon Gin, you're old enough to dress however you want now, aren't you?" asked Draco, not being able to take his eyes off her bare skin.

"Hey, Draco, my face is up here sweetie!" said Ginny, finally getting Draco to look at her face.

"No, really, the dress looks great on you," complimented Draco.

Ginny sighed before saying, "Oh, OK! I'll get the dress!"

"Great!" exclaimed Pamela.

******

After they had bought the dress and left the shop, Ginny said, "Now I have to get Ron a birthday present."

"OK, do you mind if I go somewhere else while you get the present?" asked Draco.

"No, but where are you going?"

"Oh, I don't know, just looking around."

"OK, I'll meet you back here in, um, an hour?"

"An hour?! How long does it take to get someone a present!? Just get him a card or something."

"Just a card? He's my brother!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'll be here in an hour," said Draco, the gave Ginny a long peck on her lips.
