What last happened: He sat down next to her, not saying a word, and put his arm around her. She went stiff, but gave in, and buried her face into his chest. He stroked her hair and slowly rubbed circles on her back. She cried for another 15 minutes, but still didn't move from the sanctuary of his arms. He didn't mind.

Ahh I love you guys so much. I'm just so worried with every chapter I put out that you all wont like it.... but you seem to:-) YAY. And remember, please put any ideas you have in your reviews, I want to hear them!!

Harry was a bi-stander for the whole Dean V. Draco ordeal. He wasn't shocked. Draco always had it out for Gryffindors, and Dean was a partically pompous one. Someone needed to kick Dean into shape, even if it was Draco who ended up fulfilling the duties. Yet, Harry had other things on his mind. Girls. Being a typical teenage boy, it's what was usually on his mind. But he was being extra pensive about this girl. He hadn't seen Ginny for almost a half hour, and he was frustrated. He couldn't make up his mind about Ginny.

She was beautiful tonight

But so were others. He lingered on the thought of Ginny for a few moments, but was quickly drawn to another sight. Ron was motioning him over.
"Harry help!" Ron spat at him. Sweat was running down his forehead. His skin was pale.
"What Ron...what's happened."
"It's Hermione..." Ron started to say, but Harry cut him off.
"Ron, where is she? Oh god, what's happened?" He was looking around the room frantically. His gaze stopped on Hermione familiar face about 20 feet from them. In a puzzled voice he asked Ron what was going on.
"Well, if you had listened to me, the I would have told you, nothing terrible has happened to her. But she's acting weird. Harry.... she's been playing footsie with me all night...under the table. I mean, she usually does that a little bit, but she added her hand into the mix. She was touching my inner thigh Harry and she's been winking at me and I really am worried..."
"What are you going on about?"
"She asked me if I wanted to go some place quieter. And....and... Oh god. IthinkHermionewantstohavesexwithme." Ron stammered out. Harry thought about it for a second, then, finally taking in what Ron said, he started to laugh.
"It's not funny Harry!"
"Ron...come get me when you have a real problem."
"This is a real problem."
"Ron, if you're ready, then do it. If you're not, she'll understand. I wont tell the guys about it, either way. Ok?" With that Ron took a gulp and started off to Hermione. She smiled at him as he approached her and took his hand. She whispered something to his ear and he smiled too. They started out of the hall. Harry wasn't worried. I mean, come on, it's Hermione and Ron.
"Good advice, Mr. Potter." A sultry voice said. He turned around to see a shocking sight. Luna Lovegood.

Ginny confessed everything to him. She told of her relationship with Dean. Her thoughts of Harry. Her wish to make him, Draco, jealous. He listened patiently and took in everything without a word. When Ginny was finally done Draco started to answer.
"Well, your relationship with Dean is understandable. I mean, he's older and popular, and don't call me queer, but he's good looking for a Gryffindor," Ginny giggled. Draco smiled and continued. "Harry is different. He's a selfish, arrogant, prat...but at least he does more with his life than bat his eyelashes at unsuspecting girls. Your infatuation with him was only hero-worshiping. Now, don't get me wrong, you may have ended up liking him for his personality, but it started when you were younger, and you didn't know him," Ginny sighed. He was right. How did he know all this? "And as for making me jealous, it's simple. Besides the fact that I'm irresistible, you constantly want to out do me. Not only because I'm a Malfoy and you a Weasley, but because it's something that your brother hasn't yet accomplished."
"Au contrar Draco, my brother has out witted you many a times."
"Whatever Ginny." He said with a smile. "Want to go back in there?"
"As?"
"As friends...and I'll be your bodyguard against talk, dark, and handsome men."
Yea...You'll 'take care' of them for me. I mean you said it yourself...Dean is hot stuff. Draco lightly pushed her.
"Yea Ginny," he said rolling his eyes, "you know me."

"Hey Harry. How are you?" Luna said. Harry was still in shock. Luna was wearing a long blood red velvet dress. It was very low cut, with a high slit up one side. Her dark blond hair lying is waves down her back. For once her glasses did not reside on her nose, and her eyes were a vibrant shade of blue. A gold tiara was perched on her head and she wore long gold earrings.
"A...buh." Was the only thing that came out of Harry's mouth. Luna giggled.
"Want to dance?" Harry just nodded in fear on making more of a fool of himself. He offered his arm to her and escorted her to the middle of the hall, noticing the all the wandering male eyes.
"So, you decided to wear a costume?" Harry said when he got his voice back.
"Yes, but it isn't much. I'm rather disappointed in myself."
"Who are you?" He asked with a gulp. He was so nervous, sweating in his palms.
"Lady Gryffindor, obviously."
"Obviously." Harry said quietly to himself.
