Disclaimer: Not mine. Poor, little me and my
unimaginative mind.
A/N: Sorry this is so short. I had writer's block and this is all I could
manage to get out for this chapter. Hopefully the next chapter will be
longer than this one. Hope it lives up to your expectations. If you have
ideas for further chapters feel free to tell me. R&R!
Thanks to my first two reviewers! (Sorry I didn't do this last chapter.)

Mariel- I feel so luffed! Lol, I'm on someone's favorites list! Here's chapter
3 for ya!

Chapter 3:You're Not the One
They
seemed to be making their way toward the table Ginny was sitting at.
"C'mon, Harry, let's go dance." Harry's eyes grew wide with shock as
she grabbed his arm without even glancing back at him. She stopped, Malfoy
and Pansy in front of them blocking their way.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Potter and the littlest Weasel. Finally confess
your undying love for each other, did you?" They heard a shriek that
was undoubtedly Pansy's laughter. Draco grimaced at this sound.
Harry blushed, but Ginny blushed even more, although, she didn't know why.
She didn't like Harry anymore, yet the way Malfoy said it made her blush.
"Well, I guess she was the only one left that take you since Weasel and
the mudblood paired off."
"Sod off, Malfoy." Ginny jumped a little, forgetting that Harry was beside
her.
"Oh, how sweet, Potter, sticking up for your girlfriend." He gave his usual
smirk, but it soon fell with what happened next.
She didn't know what happened next, or even how it happened, but before
she could stop herself Ginny had slapped Draco right across his face. At
first he was shocked but recovered as he glared at her, but before he
could make another snide comment she pushed him and his date aside and
left the Great Hall.
Tears were threatening to fall as she made her way to the lake, perching
herself onto a rock nearest it. She looked over the lake through watery
eyes as the giant squid lazily broke the water's surface, creating ripples
that washed up to meet Ginny's now bare feet skimming the water. Suddenly,
she felt as a hand grasped her shoulder forcing her to face the person.
Her eyes met with none other than the emerald green ones of Harry Potter.
"Are
you all right, Ginny?" His voice was reassuring and she could see how
much he longed for her in his eyes.
She could do nothing but look down at the ground. She didn't want to lie
to him because the fact was that she wasn't all right, but she didn't want
to tell him the truth either. She didn't even know herself what was
causing her this pain.
She felt Harry's hand caress her cheek and wipe away a tear as he tilted
her head back to once again gaze into his eyes. He leaned toward her and
gently grazed his lips with hers. This took a moment to register in her
mind and when it finally did she quickly pushed back.
"I'm
sorry, Harry," she whispered and when she looked up she saw something
she never would have expected. Just over Harry's shoulder she could see
Draco Malfoy watching her. He looked angry and for once this emotion was
met with hurt. He quickly turned on his heel and headed back toward the
castle. She didn't know what to do, so she just did what felt right. Ginny
looked back at Harry who had now noticed Malfoy also. He understood what
she was going through by the look on her face. He gave her a slight smile and
a nod before she stood and ran after Draco.

A/N: I kind of changed this last minute so the ending is as shocking to
me as it is to you. (If it surprised you at all.) Also, what I originally
was going to put in this chapter was moved to the next chapter, so I have
much to write yet. Again, I'm sorry for it being shorter then the others.
Please R&R! I would love the feedback!
