A/N: hehe I was thinking about making the chapters slightly longer. The only problem? I might not be able to update as often. It might take me an extra day added on for each chapter. Let me know what you think- GA

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, Draco would play trumpet, and Harry would play French horn. Not to mention, Draco would be paired up with me in all of the books, and Harry would never have liked Cho. So, as you can see, I obviously do not own Harry potter or any of the characters in it.

"The two representatives for Hogwarts are." Everyone stared at him with blank looks on their faces. "Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy." Dumbledore looked at Ginny and Draco. It was difficult to tell what he was thinking. "I wish you luck, as, I'm sure, do your classmates. The magic fair will be at Sleepy Hollow magic academy in America, and will be held on October twentieth. After which, we will have a Halloween ball here in Hogwarts. It will be American style, and you all will be asked to be in costume. Years four and up are allowed, and I will inform you all that Hogsmeade has a rather large selection of costumes for this occasion." Dumbledore sat back down and a rumble of voiced erupted from all four of the student tables.

Draco set his jaw. This was the last thing that he needed. He was preparing for his induction to the death eaters which would take place in a year, he had his grades to keep up and now he had to do what was probably an extroadinarily complicated project with the little Weasley girl. "Oh, it's official. My life stinks." Pansy put her head on his shoulder, which only caused him to shift sharply to the right and send her tumbling off the bench. He stood up and left the Great Hall without having finished his dinner.

Ginny looked at Harry, who seemed to be sympathetic. "I'm sorry, Gin. That's going to be rough, working with Malfoy." Ginny looked up at him. Was that concern she saw in his eyes? "I was wondering. Will you go to the Halloween Ball with me?" Ginny smiled and nodded her head, not noticing Kaydence smiling broadly behind her giving Harry a thumbs up.

Ginny went back to the common room and from there, up to the dorms. She floated around for an half hour and then fell asleep not thinking about how she was going to have to work with Malfoy, but how she was going to the Halloween Ball with Harry Potter.

Draco sat in the Slytherin common room seething over what he knew his father was thinking at that exact moment. 'Tell Dumbledore you can't handle the project' he would say. 'I have something great planned for you, son.' The pressure was building around Draco. He had heard all about how he was going to be a Death Eater just like his father, but he hadn't expected it to come so soon. He actually had no loyalty to Voldemort. How could you have loyalty to someone who would betray others. Loyalty, in Draco's mind, was a two way street. He crept upstairs and fell asleep trying to put the world out of his mind.
