Ok, just thought I'd point out a few things. For starters, I'm such a
little actress and I just finished 2 shows this past weekend, so hopefully
I'll have more time now. I am still in one show, which is going to be
taking up a lot of time this week and next, so updates will be more
sporadic. Also, this is not going to be a short fanfic. It wont be too
long, but Ginny and Malfoy aren't exactly "birds of a feather" so it will
take a while to get them really together.
I've also got a question. If I wrote a prologue to this story, well it would kind of be a prologue. It would take place during the summer before 6th year, I would write about how Ron and Hermione got together, how everyone did on their O.W.L's, what happened with Percy, Harry's love life, and some other things. Would you guys read it?
shelleekitten - Thanks! Yea, Harry and Draco fights would be utterly wonderful....*starts to think* maybe later in the story.....
o0true0o - I'm so glad you like it! I'll try to update as soon as I can! Please keep on reviewing
Harry looked around the quidditch field at the prospects for the new chasers and one beater position. 26 people where there to try out for these 5 positions. He stood in front of every student with the rest of his team, Jack Sloper and Ron.
He still hadn't gotten over the initial shock of yesterday's announcements. He, Harry Potter, in his 6th year on the team was made quidditch captain. He couldn't help but beam.
"All right everyone, welcome to quidditch tryouts for the Gryffindor team. We are only auditioning for Chasers and a beater, so if you had high hopes for another position." No one moved. "Ok then, we are going to show you some plays, 5 at a time. Jack will take all those interested in the beater position, while Ron will take all those interested in Chaser. After you've learned the play well put you into groups and you will run them with the rest of the team." He smiled, there really wasn't a team at all. Ron, Jack, and himself rounded off the Gryffindor team. Ginny had given up her position and was now trying out for chaser. Harry had already picked her, no matter what. She was the only reason he was allowed to still be seeker. He owed her his happiness. "OK then, lets get to work!"
"Beaters over here!" Sounded the booming voice of the 5'11 beater. He got his first group together. Only 4 people had come to try out for beater. Euan Abercrombie, a short, but muscular 2nd year. Stanly Bishop, a 7th year, Veronica Kalvin, a 5th year girl who wasn't much bigger than Hermione, and Angelina Johnston's little sister, Zoe.
Ron had a much harder time, with 22 applicants, so Harry decided to help him. They started off with showing the first 5 a formation called the "Jenger-Jackson-Alborn slide by". Harry had learned about this move at the quidditch world cup 2 years prior. It was named after 3 infamous chasers, who were amazing is the talent category but left the Irish team for Voldemort. The first five were Ginny, James Dorkin, Aliah Pulperi, Doxey Brooks, and Joyce Robets. Ginny was truly amazing. Doxey and Joyce could both fly, but were nothing compared to her. Dorkin and Pulperi were both hopeless. More of Harry's friends showed up, but none were anything compared to Ginny. Finally, the last 2 people were ready. They were the Creevy brothers, Dennis and Colin. Harry sighed and explained the play to them quickly; he knew it wasn't worth his time. What he saw next surprised him like nothing else. The Creevy brothers, along with Ginny, flew in the pattern and scored within 10 seconds. They all had an understanding for each other that clearly helped their game.
After 3 hours of mixing teams, Harry had a very astonishing - but impressing - mix for a team. For chasers he took Ginny and both Creevy brothers. For his beater he chose Zoe Johnston. He then immediately called a team meeting.
"Congratulations. Well now that it's all decided lets get down to business. I'll have practices 3 nights a week, and when we have a game we will practice 5 days."
"Alright Wood." He heard Ginny mumble. He smiled.
"Actually Ginny, I'm Potter, Harry Potter, are you feeling ok?" She smiled back.
"Ok enough, practice starts Monday night after dinner." With those final words the team dispersed.

Malfoy knew it would never be the same. Even if he convinced the little weasel that he had been joking, it would never be the same. Had he been joking? She did feel right in his arms, but he knew it couldn't be. He had only one person to talk to this about.
"Nyla. Nyla Black, are you in there?" Malfoy said, pounding on her dorm room.
"What the hell do you want? It's midnight."
"I need you help."
"Draco there is nothing that could be this import..." He interrupted her.
"I hit on little Weasley." He said quickly. He heard the door unlock. He saw his cousin standing there in silk pajamas of royal blue.
"'Bout time, eh? I mean you look like you might burst every time you see her. Ok let's talk." She said pulling him down the stairs into the common room.
"So, what happened?" She said, motioning for him to sit in a chair across from him. Draco explained the entire story to her. From the train ride, to her in his arms. She just sat there, listening intently.
"Well, do you like her?"
"No, she's just different."
"How so?"
"Well she's the only girl I've ever met who hasn't fallen at my feet. Even Granger looks at me sometimes. Ginny is composed, and she seems to be in control of the conversation."
"So you don't like her...she just.."
"Intrigues me."
"Right...You'll end up falling for her."
"I will not. I may end up sleeping with her, if she put a paper bag over her head." He said, smiling.
"You are such a prat." Nyla said, laughing and throwing a pillow at him.

Monday morning was a nightmare come true for Ron. He woke up to find nobody else in his beds. He looked at the clock. 8:35.
"Ah shit," he said out loud. He immediately ripped off his Pajamas and put his clothes on, only to find that the only clean shirt he had was one of his famous family sweaters. So he decided to just wear his white undershirt underneath his robes. No one would notice. He then ran downstairs and forgot to jump over the faulty step and almost fell into the staircase. He finally mad it the great hall. He popped a seat next to Hermione.
"What took you so long?" she asked him caringly.
"Overslept." he replied very coolly. He was in a terrible mood.
"Again?"
"I'm sorry Hermione, I'm not perfect like you. I can't always remember to set my alarm."
"I'm not asking you to."
"Well you seem to be. Just because you're my girlfriend doesn't mean you're always right."
Everyone was staring at them. Hermione looked as though she had been slapped across the face. She turned at walked out, but not before hissing in his ear "Then maybe I shouldn't be."
"What the hell was that about, Ron?"
"Nothing, I had a stressful morning, and she comes down and starts harping on me."
"She didn't harp at you, she was concerned you idiot." Ginny said. It was the first time she had looked over their direction. Her concentration was on a certain blonde haired boy.
"Oh." Ron said, and looked down at his plate. Breakfast was quiet at the Gryffindor table after that. Finally the plates were cleared and Dumbledoor stood up for an announcement.
"Due to the success of our last ball, 2 years ago, we've decided to have another one. It will take place to night of Halloween, from 7:30 pm to midnight. Partners are not expected, but I would suggest having one. This is going to be more of a dance then a ball so dress robes are not needed, Infact robes are not necessary, just nice semi-formal clothes."
Ron sat up.
"What a tic, Hermione broke up with me. Now I don't have a date." Ron said, looking worried about 4th years incident with Fleur Delacour repeating.
"You prat, just ask her to go back out with you."
"No, I'm not apologizing, I didn't do anything wrong."
Ginny and Harry both sighed in unison, and then shared a giggle.
---
Draco moaned. Pansy and Blaise, neither knowing the others "experiences" with Draco, both looked over at him and waved. So did 5 other Slytherin girls, and to his disgust, one of them being a first year. He looked over at the Gryffindor table to find another disgusting scene, Potter and Ginny giggling together and flirting like mad. Draco thought to himself about his choices. He made the mistake of taking Pansy last time, and he refused to do it again. There was always Blaise, she would be his backup, but she was just too easy. Anyone under 4th year would not be acceptable. There was Cho, which would push potters buttons. No Hufflepuffs. There was that 5th year, Jade something in Gryffindor, also Pavarati and Lavender. Most Gryffindors wouldn't go with him, even though they wanted him more than anything. Everyone believed that he wanted to be a death eater. Though he hated mudbloods with a passion, he really just liked scaring them. He would never put himself in the position his dad was in. In which everyone knew he was a death eater and nobody loved him, not even his own family.
The bell saved him from his own insecurities and thoughts.
He walked out of the great hall and headed outside to care of magical creatures. He saw a bushy brown head walk past him all alone.
"Hey Hermione." did he just call her by he first name?
"Malfoy I'm not in the mood." He could see tears running down her face.
"I was just going to ask what was wrong."
"Why do you care?"
"Well boyfriend and Potty aren't with you, something is wrong."
"Well the fact that Ron isn't my boyfriend anymore could be it"
Malfoy was shocked. For starters, why did he care? Secondly, though he loathed them both, they were the absolute ideal couple. He stepped in front of her and put his arms on her shoulders to stop her, he was now facing the front doors and he saw Ron coming. He had an idea. He kept his hands on her shoulders and put a look of concern on his face.
"Well that's just idiotic. Just talk to him and say you're sorry and get back together."
"I didn't do anyt..." She started to say and was interrupted by Ron's fuming voice.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Malfoy. Just because we aren't together anymore doesn't mean I'm going to let you flirt with the girl I love."
Hermione's face brightened, she turned around and looked at Ron, who hadn't realized what he has just said. She then looked back at Malfoy, she knew he had intent ally helped her. Malfoy looked at Hermione, winked, then walked away. His job there was done.

Ok Malfoy may seem out of character, but it will all make sense soon, I promise.
Now the only think left for you to do is REVIEW! YAY!
