Disclaimer. OK...it's been five chappys. Not th@ it matters really, but I figured it was time for another one. I own absolutely, positively. . . *sees lawyers approaching and shoots them with a water pistol full of strawberry jam* nothing. I was going to say everything but *sees lawyers glaring* maybe next time.


Chapter 8:Can you say pissed?


I wound my arms around D's neck, and placed my head on his as Harry stepped into the carriage.

Draco smirked at Harry and kissed me. Harry paled.


"Ron." Harry warned. "You might want to try and find another carriage. . .there are already two people in here."


"Huh?" began Ron as he climbed into the carriage with Hermione. "GINNY! GET OFF HIS LAP!" Draco put his arms around my waist in a protective manner.


"I think I'm quite comfortable." I answered as I reclined in D's lap.


"Ginny?" Hermione gasped.


"You heard Gin. Besides there are only seats for four." D added. Ron mumbled some foul sounding, yet incoherent things. Harry chuckled. I smirked at Ron as the carriage started moving.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As Gin smirked, I kissed her lightly on the neck, making her blush slightly. She slid down further in my lap, 'til we were at eye level. Her eyes darted from mine, to my lips and back to mine. I smirked at her, before leaning forward ever so slightly. Our lips touched, and she smiled. I grazed her bottom lip with my tongue as she opened her-


"GET OFF MY SISTER!" Ron exclaimed.


"RON!" Gin yelled, jumping up from my lap. "Don't treat me like such a child!"


"Then stop acting like one."


"Why you-" she began as the carriage faltered. I stood up and caught before she fell, but the jolt knocked the hat off my head. Gin leaned comfortingly into my arms.


"Malfoy!" yelled Ron.


"Malfoy?" questioned Harry, looking at Gin. She sighed and picked up the hat as I got off the carriage.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I watched Draco dart off the carriage.


"Malfoy?" Harry asked again.


"So?" I asked annoyed, jumping out of the carriage.


"He's Malfoy." he answered as if that meant something. I ran into the school and caught up with Draco near the doors to the Great Hall.


"Hey D!" I yelled, walking up to him as he turned around.


"The charade's over Weasley." I poked him in the chest.


"Dude! The name's Gin to you."


"Fine. What do you want Gin?" he asked as I stuck the hat back on his head.


"Keep the hat. . .it looks better on you." I winked at him and left for the Gryffindor table, with brother and co. in tow. (Heh heh heh - that rhymes)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sat down at my usual place at the Slytherin table, getting looks of recognition from many who saw me on the train.


"Drakey!" Pansy screeched. "Where have you been all summer? I missed you."


"Go away." I answered as I looked over at Gin. She raised her eyebrow at me, so I copied the look and winked at her before returning to Pansy. "I don't need you anymore."


"Why not? Don't you love me?" she whined.


"No."


"But. . ."


"I have a girlfriend Parkinson." she started to cry and ran down towards Millicent Bulstroad. I looked back over at Gin, she seemed to be in a heated debate with Potty and Weasle.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I saw D wink and laughed to myself.


"Ginny! Stop staring at Malfoy!" Ron demanded.


"Shut up Ron."


"What's gotten into you Gin?" Harry asked in a worried tone.


"Don't you, any of you, call me that. Got it?" I warned.


"I told you she changed." Ron not-so-whispered to Hermione.


"Gee Ron. I don't think they heard you in Paris." I exclaimed. I glanced up to see D looking at me with a smirk on his face. I gave him a lopsided grin. "Besides, why should you care if I've changed or not? You never pay attention to me anymore!" I said quieter.


"Is that what this whole thing is about?" he asked.


"What thing?" I asked annoyed.


"This Malfoy thing." Harry clarified.


"First off, D is not a thing-"


"You're still calling him D?" Hermione asked. I glared at her.


"Secondly, I'm not using him for attention-"


"Sure." Harry mumbled.


"Thirdly-"


"First years! I'd like you to line up here please. When I call your name, sit on the stool. I will place the sorting hat on your head and the hat will tell you in which house you belong." The sorting began as McGonagall place the sorting hat on the stool.


"Thirdly, why should you care whether I see D or not? He's your enemy, not mine." I whispered over the sorting.


"Ginny, your not listening to reason." Hermione began.


"No, I'm not listening to you. That's the problem. You guys think that your morals and hates should apply to everybody. Well, frankly, I don't care what any of you have to say anymore." I put my head on my hands and blocked out everything until Dumbledore began to speak.


"Welcome back to all those old and new! I would like to remind everyone that the Forbidden forest is and will stay off limits. Strange happenings go on in there that are better left secret. Mr. Filch would like me to remind you that any "toys" that are off limits are listed in his office. And. . .let there be food!" I looked up as I felt eyes on me. I saw Draco looking at me intensely. "Oh! One last thing. This years Head Boy and Girl are Draco Malfoy-" I looked at him approvingly "and Hermione Granger. This years prefects are Virginia Weasley-" I blocked out the rest, staring at the table. "I would like the Heads and prefects to stay after dinner, if you will. Enjoy your dinner."
