"Lavender.this isn't right."

"Oh come on Harry darling." She whined, pressing herself up against him.

"No!" Harry said forcefully. Lavender stepped back in shock. Harry's head cleared as the intoxicating perfume was no longer filling his nostrils.

"I can't.I won't." Lavender stamped her foot in impatience.

"Why not Harry darling, don't you like me?" She said sweetly, regaining her composure.

"What's wrong Weasley, too good looking for you?" Malfoy said, interpreting her state of shock correctly. Ginny tried to regain control of her senses.

"What did you do to yourself Malfoy? Surely you were ugly enough already?" Draco's eyes revealed his shock at her comment, but he got over it quickly.

"Funny, I don't see any of the other girls complaining." He said, winking at some girls walking past, who in turn gave him welcoming smiles back. Ginny rolled her eyes.

Leaning against the wall, Malfoy took a sip of the drink he had poured while they were talking. Ginny looked up and down at the blonde haired boy. She hated to say it, but he was looking good. Black, button down shirt with black pants, a silver necklace, and blonde hair spiked; this boy knew what girls liked in terms of dress. But he was an ass. Or at least that's what Ginny kept telling herself.

"Lavender no!" Harry managed to say forcefully whilst holding her at arms length. He knew there was no way that he was going to let her have her way; it would ultimately be the end of him and Ginny. And he did not want to risk it.

"Harry!" Lavender said, shocked. Obviously, no man had ever turned her down before.

"I have been going out with Ginny for a day, what kind of man would I be if I cheated on her after a couple of hours?"

"A lucky man, you'd be with me." She said seductively.

"No, I'd be a jerk. And that's not what I want to be. Leave me alone Lavender, I have a girlfriend; one that I want to keep." Lavender stepped back from Harry, trying to regain her composure.

"You'll give in to me one day Harry Potter." She said, before storming off. Harry breathed a sigh of relief. He thought she'd never leave.

"What are you looking at Weasley?"

"Nothing Malfoy you A-hole" (A/N-I LUV AUSTIN POWERS)

"So the hair isn't the only fiery thing about you Weasel" Draco said taunting her. It was a well known fact that the Weasley's were not particularly fond of their red hair, although many girls would kill for Ginny's locks. Ginny didn't trust herself to reply.

At that moment Harry, who had been looking for her for the last few minutes, came up from behind Ginny and gave her a quick hug.

"Hey gorgeous, having fun?

"Loads." Ginny said, smiling up at her boyfriend. "But more now that you're here." Harry smiled his famous grin at her. "How about you?" Harry pulled a face.

"Not really." Ginny frowned.

"Why? What's up?"

"Lavender." Harry said in a slow drawl.

"Oh." Ginny said in understanding. "You didn't."

"No, although it took her a while to process it. Apparently the words I have a girlfriend mean nothing to her." Ginny relaxed again, having tensed up at the first mention of Lavender.

"Good." She said simply.

"Well. what have we here? Pothead and Weasel, together, that's interesting." Draco said, stepping out from against the wall.

"Hello Malfoy, how many peoples' lives have you made miserable today?" Harry said over Ginny's shoulder. He was standing behind her with his arms laced around her waste and his chin resting on her shoulder. It meant he had to bend quite a bit but contemplating the fact that it was Ginny he didn't mind in the least.

"Not nearly enough, you two seem to be good candidates for next in line though." He said, smirking.

"The only reason you annoy the hell out of other peoples lives is because you don't have one of your own." Harry sneered.

"Shall we revise your popularity count against mine?"

"Popularity isn't all that matters in life, contrary to your belief."

"Being on Voldemort's hit list isn't either." Draco drawled back.

"Better than being on his buddy list." Harry snapped back, the last comment hitting a nerve. The fact that Draco had mentioned Harry being hunted by Voldemort again was not to good. Harry had hoped it would be over by now. Draco didn't reply to the comment, instead raising his eyebrows in his classic gesture and walking away smoothly. Harry was breathing heavily at this confrontation.

"Harry calm down, don't let him get to you." Ginny said smoothly, turning to face her boyfriend. He nodded slowly, turning towards Draco where he was disappearing through the crowds. Ginny too, watched the blonde walk away.

Why does act like that? Why does he think he's so cool? Is he really in league with you-know-who?

All these questions were circling around her head, her mind was reeling. But underneath all the chaos, she vaguely heard a small drumming in her chest.

And why is my heart beating faster than usual?
