"You can do better," Cheralynn told Ginny later that morning, "So much better. You can get someone like that." She snapped her fingers.
"Oh yeah? Like who?" Ginny asked, stabbing her toast with a fork.
"Well...Collin Creevey would be completely willing." Cheralynn suggested.
Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Collin? Are you crazy? How is he better than...Draco?" She fought the urge to turn around and have a look at Draco. She'd had to fight this urge many times that morning. She now thought that maybe it wasn't such a great idea to sit not facing the Slytherin table.
"Oh come on, Gin...Collin's sweet. And he's completely in love with you. He's told me. Give him a chance."
Ginny sighed. "Collin Creevey...and me...it just doesn't fit. I can't see myself ever going out with him." She said thoughtfully.
"Like you could ever see yourself going out with Malfoy!" Cheralynn snorted. "But that certainly didn't stop you, did it?"
Ginny smiled a bit. "No...but he was different..."
"How? How was he any different than Collin?" Cheralynn stopped and thought for a moment and continued, "Well, besides the fact that Draco is hot and Collin isn't...And Draco is evil and Collin...isn't."
"Collin isn't a lot of things, huh?"
"He certainly isn't."
"Which is exactly why I can't ever date him. He's too...boring." Ginny told her friend.
"Well, I for one think that it's better for a boy to be boring than to be a jerk like Draco," Cheralynn said, taking another piece of toast from the plate in front of her, "I wouldn't be able to take it...He's so mean sometimes."
"He can be mean..." Ginny agreed with a nod of her head.
"Especially when he calls you Weasel. That's rude and childish." Cheralynn said.
"It is. You know, you're right, Cher. He is a jerk. And I don't need him."
"So you'll go out with Collin?" Cheralynn asked hopefully.
"Not in a million years."

"I'm glad to see you've finally come to your senses, Draco," Blaise Zabini told Draco at Potions that morning, "Honestly...you and that Weasley girl. What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't, Blaise. It's as simple as that." Draco answered him.
Blaise looked over at Pansy who was talking with some other Slytherin girls. "I've seen better..." He admitted, "But she's better than Weasley."
Of course Draco didn't agree with him, but he couldn't very well say it. Ginny was better than Pansy in just about every way. But Pansy was there. Pansy was his now.
"Right..." Draco lied, "Pansy's a lot better."
"Pay attention!" Professor Snape yelled at the class. Immediately everyone went to their seats. Pansy sat herself down next to Draco and smiled flirtatiously at him. Draco nodded back. This girl was almost too much to handle...

Authors Note: OK...I'm done with that chapter. There are...8 more in the story now I think until it's done. Unless I need more. Ya never know...Review!
