Hey all! School starts tomorrow, and im not going to finish this chapter
tonight, so whenever you guys are reading this, im probably doing homework
(or soccer practice) or im actually in school, which makes me say.. LUCKY
YOU! Your not in school and I am. How unfair! Okay then . . . thank you
Crystal Star-23. You're really nice. And to answer whoever asked the
question how can someone love you out of the blue anyway . . . I put that
in there to make you guys ask that.. And if u think about it really hard
you might be able to get it.. There is a clue when Ginny runs into
Hermione in umm... chapter 6 so if you really feel that into this story
then go and see if you can figure it out! I don't know if you'll find out
about it in this chapter or not.. I haven't decided.. Maybe I'll give a
really obvious clue so all you smart people out there will know, and all
the people out there who are like me won't even think to think about it . .
. yeah, okay, love you guys, thanx for the reviews and keep it up!

Hermione frowned as she slipped back into her room just before Ginny reached the top of the stairs. She had heard Ginny's story. Her plan had worked perfectly. Why wasn't she happy then? She had gotten what she wanted. She had gotten her revenge.
'Why do I feel sorry for Ginny?' she asked herself. 'She is popular and everybody (except, of course, some Slytherines) likes her. The guy that she likes likes her back. She's extremely lucky!'
Then Hermione thought of how confused Ginny must be. 'She liked a guy for such a long time, and then finally got over him when he told her he loved her. That's got to be odd! But it's not as bad as she thinks' Hermione reminded herself. 'The love potion [yeah you guys, I guess I kinda just told you didn't I?] will be long gone when Harry wakes up tomorrow.' Hermione still couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about Ginny's tears.
'Oh crap, what about Harry?' Hermione found a fault in her plan, but it was a little too late. She was so mad when she came up with the idea that she hadn't thought it through like she normally would have. 'How could I be so stupid? What's Harry going to think when he wakes up?' She racked her brains, trying to remember if the book she checked out had said if the person would remember what had happened. For once in her life, Hermione couldn't remember what she had read.
She sprinted down to the library. "I have to check something from the book I checked out about a week or two ago for extra credit!" she said breathlessly. "I need to see if I did it right!"
Hermione went into the library for extra credit work so often, the librarian wasn't even suspicious, and walked over to the restricted section to get Hermione her book without another thought. 'I'm sure lucky everyone trusts me to be such a good student.' Hermione thought to herself. ' I haven't been acting like my normal self lately though. What's gotten into me?'
"This will be due back . . ." Hermione didn't get to hear when the book would be due. She was already out of the library and on her way back to the common room when the librarian looked up.
She immediately started flipping through the book when she reached her (private head girl) room. She finally found the potion she had used and started skimming the page.'One day love potion . . . effects will go away once the subject has fallen asleep . . . the subject will not remember anything that happened because of the potion unless reminded in the right way . . .'
'In the right way? What does that mean?' Hermione sighed. 'I guess I'll just sleep on it and find out what happens tomorrow.'
Draco was trying to go to sleep. It was really unusually early for him to try to go to sleep, but he couldn't stand to be out in the common room, because pig-face pansy wouldn't leave him alone. When he finally was alone in his dormitory, he didn't have anything to think about except for Ginny. He decided to try to go to sleep.
This idea didn't help him either. He needed to see her. He wanted to hold her. He loved everything about her.
He had given up not liking her because she was a Weasley. Actually, He had given up a lot of things because she was a Weasley. He hadn't called anyone a mudblood for a very long time, and that was a hard habit for him to break. He hadn't insulted anyone in the Weasley family recently, (to their face,) and he actually didn't try to make Hagrid look bad during care of magical creatures.
'She must have noticed I've changed' Draco thought 'I hope she likes me as much as I like her!' He rolled over and kicked at his sheets. Why couldn't he stop thinking about Ginny? He just wanted to go to sleep! 'Well, maybe that's not all I want,' he corrected himself 'what I really want is her!'
He had been trying to keep it sort of secret that he liked her. Sure, he flirted endlessly with her in every conversation that they had, and he tried to run into her in the halls as much as possible, but he hadn't told anyone he liked her yet. He hadn't made a move.
'Why haven't I made a move? What am I so afraid of?' he asked himself. My father wouldn't really care.' His thoughts wandered over to Lucius Malfoy. 'He doesn't really even care about me. I'm like a goldfish to him. He buys me a tank, some fancy toys and some nice food, but he wouldn't really care If I died. He would just throw me away, buy a new me, and forget it even happened.'
This brought a new thought to his head. What if his father disowned him? He would be so free, so able to do whatever he wanted. He could make friends with people a little more interesting than Crabbe and Goyle. He could talk to people without making them feel like they were scum. He could do so much! It would be so nice!
He really wouldn't have to worry about Voldemort. Contrary to popular belief and rumors, he was not already a death eater, he actually had never even seen or been in contact with Voldemort. He new his father was a death eater, but he never talked to him about it. While if you left Voldemort he would kill you, if you decide to not follow him, and he has never heard of you, it doesn't really bother him. Believe it or not, Draco was actually not important enough for Voldemort to have heard of. While Lucius was a devoted death eater, he really wasn't one of Voldemort's favorites, he was just very good at getting himself into high places socially.
'What about money?' If his father disowned him, he would surely take everything away. Draco looked around at his Firebolt 2, his silver wizard's chess set encrusted with emeralds, and many other excessively expensive things he had lying around his room. He would miss them, but he could live without them. Actually, he could probably sell them. His father wouldn't want his personal stuff back. He would just never give him anything again. If he married Ginny his father would think of him as just another Weasley and nothing more (because he would of course use her last name.) Just like he wouldn't consider a pile of trash with his dead fish in it any different then a pile of trash without a fish at all.
'Wait a minute, what am I thinking? Ginny and I marrying? I don't even know if she likes me enough to go out with me yet! What's gotten into me?' He finally made a resolution. 'Tomorrow I will ask Ginny to go to Hogsmead with me next weekend,' and with that thought, he fell asleep.
**************************************** Two days of school done. It seems like forever! Ugh! Homework! Nooo . . . I wouldn't have been able to have written this until Friday if soccer practice hadn't been canceled tonight. I probably won't have the next chapter up until Friday, if even, because then I have another tourney this weekend.. and I just don't even know! I really don't like school. It's no fun! Oh well, I'm going to shut up now and post this! Review please! I love it when you guys do! PLEASE! okay, muchas amore, thanx much- LATAZ!
