Chapter Three
Ginny went through the next six months in a horrible state. She couldn't stand not being loved by everyone in the school....She couldn't stand being ignored....But she mostly couldn't stand Emily, her ex-best friend, getting more attention than her from...everyone! Professors included. She was so glad when the year was over. She needed to talk to her mother and father face-to-face and show them what exactly was going on. Neither of them believed her...not even when Ron had promised them that it wasn't a joke or an overreaction.
Draco had spent the rest of the year angry at himself for being so in love with Ginny. He knew he could never have her....His mother would never approve, his father would never approve, Ginny would never approve. He couldn't believe that he still had one more year left with her at Hogwarts.

"Ginny!" Molly Weasley was always ecstatic when she saw her children again. "Ron!" She ran to them and pulled them both into tight, airway constricting hugs.
"Mum!" Ginny choked out, "I can't breathe!"
Molly let go of her and Ron, who's face had gone very red (From either lack of air or embarrassment at being hugged by his mother in a public place), and said, "I'm sorry, dear. I just missed you both so much."
"I missed you, too..." Ginny said, "I'm so glad to be home."
"Me too." Ron spoke.
"You wouldn't believe how horrible school was after Christmas." Ginny told her mother with a sigh as they passed through the barrier that separated Platform 9 3/4 from the rest of Kings Cross Station.
"Oh, Ginny...You're not still talking about that are you? I'm telling you, it's just a misunderstanding. You're still beautiful." Molly tried to assure her.
"No, Mother. Watch." Ginny cleared her throat and called to the closest boy to her, "Oh Collin! Have a good summer!"
Collin turned his head and looked right past Ginny. It was like she was invisible...
"See, Mum? It's horrible."
Molly nodded, looking worried. "You're right, dear." She said, "But you shouldn't worry. There's got to be some reasonable explanation for this."

Narcissa grinned evilly. "My potion really did work...Good."
"Yes it did, Mum, but not without some side effects." Draco told her miserably.
"Side effects?" Narcissa looked at her son, "What kind of side effects? Has she got a wart on her face? Please tell me she has some sort of horrible wart on her face."
"No...That's not it."
Narcissa sighed. "Then what is it? It can't be that good if it doesn't involve a wart."
"I'm in love with her."
Narcissa laughed her "not quite a laugh" laugh. "Oh, Draco....Stop joking. You know how I hate jokers."
"It's not a joke, Mum. I'm not joking. I fell in love with her right after I gave her the potion."
Narcissa gaped. "Well we need to find a way to reverse this! I can't have my son being in love with a Weasley!"
