"Are you sure?" Ginny asked. Her mind was saying "no" but her heart was saying "yes". Her heart was winning.

She watched Draco's head fall somewhat and his smile disappeared. It broke her heart. What else could she do?

Ginny walked toward Draco with an unreadable expression on her face. She stopped right in front of him and raised her hand. He cringed as though expecting her to slap him, but instead was pleasantly surprised when her gentle hand caressed his cheek.

Draco was unsure of what to do. He didn't want to break the silence. Surely she had just rejected him, it was over. But then, what was this?

Ginny stepped forward a little more and stood on her toes to place her rosy red lips on his. Draco caught on. Perhaps he hadn't ruined it. He wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her closer while the other hand played in her long red hair. Then he shocked her by deepening the kiss.

'Seamus didn't kiss me like this.' Ginny thought to herself as she just enjoyed his kiss. She hoped that Draco had never kissed anyone this way before.

She couldn't have been more right. Draco put all he had into this single kiss. He hadn't EVER felt this way before, not about anyone.

When to couple pulled apart Ginny had something to say.

"We can't tell anyone what just happened." She said quickly.

"Are you ashamed?" Draco asked miserably.

Ginny blushed crimson. "No." She said relaxing him. "But we can't do this, we couldn't work whether we like it or not, our families would be devastated." She explained.

"I guess you're right Virginia." Draco said. He knew that his mother would love her but if she didn't think so, then he wouldn't argue. His heart fell to pieces.

"Thank you Draco. We'd better work on this play one last time. I think I hear the Professor coming." Ginny said quietly.

"I suppose so."

The next night at supper, Professor Dumbledore had something to say as he stood up.

"I have an announcement concerning anyone 5th year or above." He smiled. "In celebration of our new year I have decided that we need something to lighten the mod and spirits as war is surrounding the outside wizarding world. Therefore, there will be three dances for anyone fifth year and over. They will be scattered throughout the next month and a half (A/N: Basically, one every other week.) then there will be a large formal ball at the end of this month and a half. The ball will be in honor of four ladies and four gentlemen who have done something in particular. If you are interested in this honor, please ask your house head for information. Dates are mandatory for each dance and the ball. The first dance will be held in one week, which is next Friday." Dumbledore explained before he sat down.

The Hall was quiet momentarily before the older students began chatting in excitement about dates, hair (for the girls), and clothes. Apparently, the first three dances were to be casual, where they would wear clothes that teen Muggles wore. This meant a trip to Hogsmeade.

Draco looked over to the Gryffindor table at Ginny. He saw the excited redheaded beauty looking extremely excited. He loved to see her laughing.

"Looks like Malfoy is in *love*." Blaise teased. She had become one of Draco's best friends after their "thing" was over.

"You know I don't believe in love, Zambini. Why would I love the Pot- head worshipping Weasel anyways?" He snarled, looking genuinely disgusted at the very thought.

"I don't know, why don't you tell me, Malfoy?" She smirked.

"Don't' get me started little Ms. Dean-Thomas-Rocks-My-World." Draco shot back.

"How did you know about that?" Blaise shrieked, knowing that if Malfoy knew there would be absolutely no use in denying it.

"You really should keep that diary put away." Draco said with a smirk.

"I can't believe you!" Blaise gaped. "But I guess that's cool since you totally understand the whole falling-in-love-with-a-Gryffindor thing."

"Stop saying that word. There's no such thing. I've never felt it." Draco said as he stood up to leave.

"So, Ginny, who's so gorgeous that you can't take your eyes off them over there?" Ginny's best friend Chloe asked.

"There's no one new, just scanning." Ginny lied quickly.

"Yeah, whatever. You look like you just won a million galleons!" Chloe urged. "You know you'll have to tell me eventually!"

"Yeah, like when I have something to tell!" Ginny shot back. "I'm tired. I think I'm going to go to bed. See you!" She said as she walked out of the Great Hall.

* * *

Draco went to his dormitory and turned on the music. There was a song playing that really spoke to him at the moment.

"I don't believe in true love. I am alone by nature I did not want to let you in."

That's all Draco had to hear before he turned it off (Luckily, since the rest of the song was the opposite of how he felt).

"There's no such thing as love." He told himself before drifting off to a dreamy sleep with visions of a read head dancing in his head.

* * *

She didn't love him did she? Of course not! She didn't even like him."

"Um hello, Ginny! Yeah, you like him! You don't share a kiss like that and not like him!" Ginny told herself. So she liked him, but she didn't love him.

She turned on some music and found a song that suited her so she sang along.

"I'm not sayin' I'm in love I'd admit it if I was. I'm just sayin' I believe You're beginning to get to me."

"Yeah, he's definitely getting to me. No more of him. He'll use me." Ginny tried to convince herself as she drifted off into a sleep filled with a pair of enchanting gray eyes.
