Later that Sunday evening, Ginny lay on the common room floor by the fire. She was attempting to complete her Potions essay, but all she could think about was what an idiot she was for falling for her enemy and Hermione's astonished words. What was so great about Draco anyway? 'Well,' she thought. 'He is sweet now. And charming. Smart. Oh and of course he's cute! But on the other hand…he did fight Harry, made fun of my whole family, and called Hermione a mudblood all these years. But he's changed! I know he has!' And so she battled with herself on this topic for hours. When she finally gave in to her yawns and went to bed, all she could think about was him again, until falling asleep hours later.

The next morning was much like the previous one, except a lot colder and windier. Ginny avoided talking to Hermione most of the morning, and she skipped breakfast so Hermione wouldn't find her. Instead of having lunch Ginny decided to work on her Potions essay again, but ended with the same results as earlier. She was starting to go insane! Avoiding Hermione was wrong, and she planned on talking to her after dinner.

Right before dinner Ginny had Transfiguration. They had a long lecture and after the class she burst out of the door in a hurry to eat and to get out of there. Right as she opened the door, who should she bump into but Draco! Involuntarily dropping all of her books and turning a scarlet color, she began gathering all of her heavy books and papers. 'I am such a loser. I am SUCH a loser,' she thought. But just then she felt something brush against her arm. She looked up and saw Draco help gather a few of her books. He smiled at her, handed the books, and said "bye". Feeling awfully befuddled, but enchanted, Ginny walked swiftly back to the common rooms.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Ron called to Ginny after seeing the wide, pleased grin spread over her face. She only shrugged and ran up to her bed chambers to store her books away.

As soon as Ginny entered the Great Hall for dinner, Hermione ran over to her. "Ginny, I am so sorr-" she began.

"What are you sorry about? I feel horrible for running away from you. It was just so embarrassing! But I really need someone to talk to now. Will you forgive me?" Ginny pleaded.

"Yeah, Ginny. I am not mad at you. But what do you need to talk about?" Ginny told her about her experience outside of Transfiguration and how she felt about it. "Wow that's great!" Hermione proclaimed. "I really think you should start talking to him more! Now let's go eat, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm famished!"

After the feast Ginny walked into the common room and went to bed. She dreamt about Draco and her walking on the beach together, laughing. The morning after this dream, Ginny realized how much she wanted this and decided she would talk to Draco that day.
