{If anyone is interested, or has watched ÒThe RingÓ, and liked it, I am going to post a diary by Samara very soon!!!
*Note* If you have not seen it, and plan to do so, I donÕt recommend reading it, because it is a major spoiler, and more of a continuation of the movie! It will be listed under Misc. Books.}
Now, on with the story!
Draco sported his trademark smirk before he left Ginny in the library to make-up her mind.
Ginny dropped her book onto the table and slid her shoes back on before she trotted up to her dorm for the night.
***
Escaping the temptation to open her book for a night-time read, Ginny quietly slid out of her bed after the other girls had fallen asleep.
She crawled over to the tall window where she sat, looking out over the sapphire blue lake.
ÒWhat should I do?Ó Ginny asked herself in a whisper as the familiar banging of Peeves the Poltergeist echoed below.
Pausing for only a few moments more, Ginny arose from her cosy corner by the window to return to her bed.
ÒGin?Ó came HermioneÕs sleepy voice.
ÒGinny, come back to sleep.Ó Hermione said as her head flumped back onto her downy pillow.
Not hesitating this time, Ginny stood quietly and made her way across the icy flagstone floor and back into her velvety comforter.
ÒI have to do it.Ó Ginny said once before her eyelids finally closed.

Ginny woke up early, compared to her normal Saturday lie-in. Only Magurite Sampson, a fifth year, and Rayella Martinn, a sixth year were awake and fully dressed.
"What's the time?" Ginny asked Rayella with a yawn.
"Eight-Thirty." Rayella answered as she finished braiding her hair.
Ginny mumbled; she was tired but couldn't sleep any more.
Dressing as casually as she could, Ginny loped out of the dorm before Hermione or any of the other girls were awake and tip-toed down to the library.
Ginny got the feeling that she was alone, and she did her very best to not make a sound as she stopped at her favorite aisle; muggle novels.
There, before her, was Professor McGonagall, who had apparently fallen asleep earlier. In the Professor's left hand was a half-open book.
Ginny dared to step closer to the professor in order to catch a glimpse of the title; it read: "The Complete Guide To a Woman's Night".
Ginny gasped as she backed up hurriedly.
"In a rush?" came a voice from behind Ginny.
Ginny whipped her head around to meet eyes with Draco, who was dressed in a delicious green pull-over jumper; he radiated his minty scent as before.
"No, just uh-" Ginny jestered behind her as McGonagall proceeded to snore.
"Come." Draco said, leading Ginny towards a quiet corner in the library.
Draco pulled a chair forward for Ginny before he sat down and lifted his feet onto the table in Ginny's direction.
"Let's say you get lessons, classes, from me, you have the means of getting to Potter. In return, you give me his diary and maybe something else." Draco said as he ran his fingers through Ginny's coppery strands of hair.
"Something else?" Ginny asked with a gulp.
"For me to know, for you to learn later." Draco replied.
"I presume we have a deal?" he asked.
Ginny hesitated a little.
"You're on." Ginny said, reaching forward with her hand.
Draco smiled as he shook Ginny's hand.
"Shall we begin?" Draco asked.
"Why not." Ginny answered.
Draco resettled before he said more.
"Let's see, Ginny, come sit here." Draco said, pointing to the chair next to him.
Somewhat confused, Ginny stood and sat down in the other chair.
"Good. Now, let's pretend I'm Potter." Draco said with a smirk.
Ginny froze up.
"Well, I should've known." Draco said in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"First of all, you've got to get Potter's attention. Try me." Draco said.
Ginny gulped furiously as she tried to decide what to do.
Pushing her chest as forward as she could, Ginny resettled in her chair and crossed and uncrossed her legs a few times.
"I can see why Potter ignores you." Draco said with an evil laugh.
Ginny crossed her arms and scowled angrily.
"Ginny, you have so much oppertunity with that sweet little body." Draco said.
Ginny stood and shifted her weight nervously.
"Why don't you try having a seat." Draco said, pointing to himself.
Ginny sighed heavily, but slowly eased herself onto Draco's lap.
"That's better." Draco said as Ginny did her best to look comfortable.
"Ginny, Ginny, where are you?" came Ron's voice from around the corner.
Widening her eyes and practically jumping off of Draco's lap, Ginny sprang herself out into the center aisle of the library.
"Figured I'd find you here." Ron said, with Hermione following not far behind.
"I was um, uh, looking for a book." Ginny said.
"Well, naturally, this is the library." Hermione said from behind Ron's shoulder.
"Where's Harry?" Ginny asked.
"Sick." Ron said.
"Later." came Draco's voice from behind Ginny.
"What are you doing here?" Ron asked Draco.
"That is none of your business, Weasley." Draco said as he pushed past.
Ginny turned a shade of white, followed by pink.
"Gin, are you all right?" Hermione said as she placed her hand on Ginny's sweating forehead.
"Yes, I think." Ginny said as her eyes followed Draco out of view-point.
We're you talking to him?" Ron asked inquisitively.
"Well, no, I don't," Ginny paused "you know, I'm hungry, how does a spot of breakfast sound?" Ginny replied as she pressed forward, trying to get past.
"Ron, that sounds good." Hermione said, trying to persuade Ron that nothing was wrong.
~~~~~~~~~
"Good, isn't it?" Ginny asked nervously during breakfast.
"You're sure you're OK?" Hermione asked again.
"Yes." Ginny snapped.
"Righty-ho." Hermione said, turning back to her breakfast.
Ginny glanced over to the Slytherin table; Draco stared at her sweetly. Ginny's hand began to shake a little and she got a queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"I'll be back in a minute." Ginny said as she made her way to the girls' bathroom.
