Ginny went straight to the nearest Quidditch store. Ron had been talking non stop about joining a Quidditch team all summer, so she thought she might as well get him started. She took her time looking, before deciding on a Quaffle and a Snitch. With her last remaining Galleons, she bought him a nice box to put all his Quidditch things in.

"Ron had better like my present, I've just spent all my money on him," she thought to herself. "I'll have to use a quick spell to wrap it up later."

She went back to meet Draco outside the dress shop.

"Where've you been? I've been waiting here for 10 minutes!" sneered Draco.

"Sorry, I couldn't decide what to get him," apologised Ginny.

"Jesus Ginny, how much did all that cost you?"

"Does it really matter how much it cost? Bloody hell Draco, he's my brother!"

Draco looked taken aback, but took Ron's gift out of her hands and carried it back to the castle for her.

When they got back to the castle, they had their dinner in the great hall and headed off to their dormitories. Ginny spotted Draco walking towards the dungeons, so she caught up with him and wrapped her arms around him.

"Oof, Ginny!" cried Draco. "Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow."

With that he walked off, leaving Ginny shocked. "What's up his arse?!" said Ginny to herself.

"Probably his hand," whispered Colin into her ear, making Ginny laugh. "C'mon Gin, you're looking pretty tired there."

"Yeah, I am."

Colin put his arm over her shoulder and accompanied her to the Gryffindor common room.

"Thanks Colin, I really needed a hug," said Ginny, grinning up at him.

"No problem," he said, before giving her a big bear hug.

Ginny giggled and went upstairs to her dormitory.

She collapsed onto her bed, wondering what was up with Draco when she heard something tapping on the window. It was Errol with a rolled up parchment tied to his leg.

"Errol!" cried Ginny, opening the window, just as the owl gave up flapping his wings.

She untied the note, placed Errol on her bedside table, and read the letter.

Dear Ginny,

You'll never guess what happened today after lunch! Harry organised a beautiful picnic in the park. He poured us each a mug of butterbeer and asked me to marry him!!! Ginny, I'm engaged!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!

Hopefully I'll see you at Ron's birthday party, so I'll be able to talk to you about it then!

We all miss you heaps, Gin!!

Yours sincerely,

Hermione

Ginny scrunched up the paper in her hands and collapsed onto her bed in a fit of tears. (A/N: she likes to collapse onto her bed a lot, doesn't she?? =P!!) What was wrong with her? She was in love with Draco wasn't she? She couldn't, not still . . . she couldn't still love Harry . . .

She was still holding the letter in her hands, and she read it again. This time she ripped it up and threw it as far across the room as she could in her rage of anger and watched all the pieces float down to the ground.

No, it wasn't love, it was anger. She was so angry about the way Draco had been acting before. She fell to the ground and wanted to put all the pieces of the note back together again. But it was no use, she couldn't even think of a spell to put them back together. She leant against the side of her bed and cried and cried.

She realised that Errol was still sitting on her bedside table, so she wrote a short note back to Hermione.

Hermione,

Yeah, I'll see you then.

Ginny

Just then she heard Jenny and Laura coming up the stairs, talking about something. So Ginny jumped into bed and pretended to be asleep.

"Oh my God, I never knew how much of a prick James was!" said Jenny in anger as she entered the room.

"I know, he used to be really nice. I guess times have changed," replied Laura. "You'll find someone else. I promise"

"Don't turn on the light, you'll wake Ginny. Hey what's this all over the floor?" asked Jenny.

"Ginny was probably trying to write a lovey dovey love letter to Draco and kept mucking up!" giggled Laura.

They both giggled, but underneath her covers, a tear fell across Ginny's face.

"Where is Ginny Weasley?" sneered Professor Snape in Potions class the next morning.

The students looked around the room, but Ginny was nowhere to be seen.

"Did you see her this morning?" whispered Jenny to Laura.

"I can't remember, she was still asleep I think," replied Laura.

"Whatever it is you're chattering about, would you like to share it to the class?" asked Snape.

"Oh . . . uh . . . we were just wondering where Ginny could be," replied Jenny.

"Yes, I see, ten points from Gryffindor."

Just then Ginny ran through the dungeon doors into class. "Sorry I'm late Professor!"

"Ginny. Where have you been?" growled Snape.

"I . . . uh . . . I couldn't find a quill . . ."

"That'll be another ten points from Gryffindor."

Ginny looked over at her friends who had quizzical looks on their faces. She took a seat beside them and whispered, "I'll tell you about it later."

"Now, does anyone know what you get when you add . . ."

(A/N: I hope you liked the 6th chapter! I have good ideas for what can happen in the next chapters =) so exciting!!)
