Hi All! Thanks to Pidgie for pulling me out of a funk of feeling that my work didn't matter. Did everyone hear that J.K. is finally coming out with Order of the Phoenix! Yeah! Well that's it on with the fic.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny woke with a feeling of pure bliss. She looked at her side table and noticed a note and a rose. She lifted herself from her bed and read the note.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thanks for the lovely evening Milady. I hope your sleep was as well as mine. My dreams were riddled with thoughts of a lovely young lady (don't be jealous it was you).
Remember not act as you would if we weren't dating.
Missing you already,
Draco Malfoy
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She held the rose noticing that he had charmed it so that the thorns were gone. How could someone so romantic have seemed so vile to her. When she was near him she felt that she was floating or maybe that was just because she had finally found someone who could find her scraggly frame attractive. Did she like him only because he liked her? Or did she only dislike him in the beginning because all her brothers hated him?
She got dressed brooding over these things. She walked down to the common room on her way to the Great Hall when Ron, Hermione and Harry stopped her in her tracks. 'What am I going to tell them about last night? She thought panicking.
"Hey Gin. Can you believe it this time next year our poor Harry will be tied down to one woman? No more chick watching for us" Ron said.
"You mean where you and Harry go to a club and the chicks flock to him leaving you and your huge ears behind" Ginny answered feeling absolutely thrilled that they hadn't asked about her night but knowing they would eventually.
"Hey! My ears aren't that big! And I get plenty of chicks." He said firmly.
"Yeah, and how many girlfriends have you had?" she said
"Geez when did you become so mean? You're supposed to be on my side!" He said
"Whatever!" she said heading out of the common room with her bag making a rhythmically thumping against her leg. If she could keep people from talking to her for the rest of the day so she could come up with alibi, which shouldn't be to hard unless she had been thrown into an alternate universe where she was popular. She silently laughed at that.
When she got to the Great Hall she glanced over at Draco. His frame had been greatly improved by Quidditch and his pale skin had been tanned over the years. He was so different from the short wan Slytherin that she had first peered at in her 2nd year.
Pansy whispered something in his ear and he laughed enthusiastically. Even though she knew that there was nothing between him and Pansy she still had to swallow the jealousy that welled inside her.
She sat at her table and listen to her roommates drone on about their dates from the night before. She wanted to be the one to tell them about her date, she wanted to tell them about how Draco had held her, just to hold her. How he had made her feel like her own person. How he had kissed her.
She finished her breakfast and stared heading toward the corridor. Draco noticing her stood and headed after her.
"Hey Weasel have fun last night?" He asked
'As a matter of fact I did. I bet you didn't accomplish half the things I did," she said blushing at the thought of their make out session last night.
"Well I had a great date with Pansy date last night" Draco said using the secret 'language' they had agreed on.
"Well I'm sure you and Blossom are going out again," she said
"As a matter of a fact I was planning on going out with her this Saturday and meeting her in the Great Hall" draco said
"What if she wanted to choose the place where you two go?" Ginny asked
"Fine we'll meet at the Great Hall at 8 p.m. and she'll choose the place where we go." Draco said
"Sounds good to me" Ginny said smiling. Just at that moment Pansy came prancing down the hall.
"Hey, Snookums" she said before placing a wet kiss on his mouth wiping the grin straight off Ginny's face. "You ran off so fast at breakfast I didn't know what to think." Ginny wanted so much to rip off the arms that hung around Draco's neck. Damn Pansy. Ginny walked off toward her Defense Against the Dark Arts class in a giant bout of disdain for the 'couple'.

For those of you who don't know what I said in what I like to call Dranny language they said that the wee going out Saturday night at 8 and Ginny will choose the place they go. Pidgie thank you so much for reviewing my story just in its hour of need. People please review! As I've said if I don't get any reviews I go into a depressive state and don't write anything. So on my final notes review and don't forget Order of the Phoenix comes out on June 21st!
