Summary: It's Ginny's 6th year and everyone keeps treating her like a child. She would rather die than be driven insane.

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter it wouldn't be as cool as it awesomely is.

A/N: This chapter has drama but don't worry romance is coming soon. Oh yeah thanx 2 ronsrealgirl my 1st reviewer!

Chapter 4: Now What?

"Ginny!" Colin and Jane called. "Hang on!" They caught up to her and had another corridor to walk down. They were in very near danger of being late to potions.
"Walk faster guys!" She urged. They jogged ahead of her and when they were out of sight she was suddenly grabbed and pulled into an empty classroom.
"Oi! Malfoy quit yanking me I don't need a dislocated shoulder." Ginny snapped.
"Haven't you hurt it before? Slipping on your own drool over Potter?" He replied with a satisfied smirk.
"Ha ha. It was actually the gook from your head you left in the corridor. And not that it's any of your damn business, but my saliva has been well aquainted with my mouth since third year." Ginny turned around and headed for the door, but Draco shut it with his wand.
"Tsk tsk, scarlet. It's wrong to leave your company all alone." Draco said feigning hurt.
"Sod off Blondie." Ginny mimicked. "What's with all the nicknames anyway? Can't you just call me Weaselette and be done with it?" She snarled. She was five minutes late to potions and she was sure Snape would have her head.
"Weasel if for your brother. Besides.your hair is not any old red." His voice had a coy cheerful sound to it but his eyes were blank. Ginny stared at them. She was about to thank him when she remembered the trouble the last compliment aimed at her had caused. Then she remembered who she was talking to.
"Goodbye Malfoy." A tone of finality in her voice.
When she entered the classroom no one looked up. She thought for a moment she was free until.
"Five points from Gryffindor and detention Saturday evening Ms. Weasley."
The week came and went. Often times, Ginny would catch Harry staring at her but she would either arch a brow or roll her eyes. Soon she just ignored him all together.
AT LUNCH ONE AFTERNOON.
A white and grey eagle owl came swooping down, put a letter on Ginny's plate and flew away again.
"What the." It wasn't mail time. She opened the letter. It read:
VIRGINIA,
MEET ME IN THE ASTRONOMY TOWER AT 9:00 FRIDAY NIGHT. UNTIL THEN
-?
"Ginny was about to show Colin and Jane when Ron grabbed it from her. She saw his face tinge and her heart fell to her stomach.
"Who sent this?" Ron snarled getting purple in the face.
"I don't know Ronald I only just got it."
"You are not going." He said quietly.
"I am." Ginny answered. "And you can't stop me." She answered smugly.
"I'll owl mum." Ron replied. Ginny froze for a moment. Then she realized her mother was miles away and wouldn't send a howler for this rubbish.
"Go ahead." She answered. She got up to leave when Ron stood to stop her.
"You can't just go off meeting strangers! Haven't you learned anything from your first year?!" Ron yelled. Ginny stopped mid-step and turned to look at him. Everyone at the Gryffindor table was watching.
Voice faltering, teary eyed, and hands shaking Ginny said: "Don't ever speak to me again." She walking again but someone grabbed her wrist. Without thinking, she yanked her arm away, and slapped them. She turned back and it was Harry. Everyone was watching now. A loud burst of whispers broke out amongst the Great Hall.
"Did you see!?"
"Harry Potter's best friend's sister!"
"I thought she liked him?"
"What a right arm!"
Ginny tried to apologize, but nothing came out. Frantically sputtering, she did the first thing that came to mind. She ran.
