Summary: Ginny's in her sixth-year, just broken up with the famous Potter and falls in love with an unlikely Slytherin...!

-You Know You Love Me- Chapter 5: Finding a Friend
Previously on You Know You Love Me...

That night, Malfoy sat up in his bed (A/N: How I wish I could see that, teehee.) with Ginny's words echoing in he's head.

"... He's my friend..."

"How I wish we were so much more than friends..." he whispered as he went back to sleep.

I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

Surprisingly, Ginny Weasley, down in her hospital bed, was thinking exactly the same thing...
Draco Malfoy was sitting in the prefect's meeting room watching Professor Dumbledore drone on about bullying. He couldn't help it, and he didn't know why, but he's mind kept thinking back about the hug that he and Ginny had shared in the hospital wing. He wish that he could hold her in he's arms once more and how he wished that he could smell her again, be with her and taste her lovely pink rosebud lips...

All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me

Professor Dumbledore looked around the prefect's room and noted the bored and sleepy expressions on their face and immediately changed the subject to a more exciting one.

"...And of course, there will be a Yule Ball on Christmas Day..."

Draco's head – along with many other heads for that matter – snapped up in attention and stared at Professor Dumbledore intently, waiting for him to continue. Christmas was only 2 weeks away! Professor Dumbledore chuckled at their sudden attentiveness and continued...

"But THIS year, the Professors and I have agreed on something more ... exciting. This ball will be a masquerade."

Everyone's eye-brow rose as they looked knowingly at each other. The teachers hardly planned anything remotely special before. This was a change. A definite GOOD change.

"Everyone will not have to find a parter as you won't be able to SEE them. (A few prefects chuckled at that.) A mask will be given to every student who walks into the ballroom. We will have to order those special masks called 'Match Me Midnight Mask.' I will put the Ravenclaw prefects to do this task."

The Ravenclaw prefects nodded.

"A 'Match Me Midnight Mask' you can get at 'Maple's Magical Makes.' Now, I am sure a lot of you will be wondering what those masks are. Well, a 'Match Me Midnight Mask' is a mask that will match anything that the person is wearing in an instance and once it touches the face of the wearer, it will be irremovable until the last stroke of midnight."

A lot of the students gasped excitedly at the news, and then started chatting to one another.

"Ahem," Dumbledore cleared his throat. The whole room immediately went silent.

"The Gryffindor and Slytherins will be decorating the castle and the grounds while the Hufflepuffs must get ready the menu for the dinner. This ball will only be allowed for fifth-years and above. No student any younger than that would be able to come unless they are being accompanied by an older student. I will inform the school about the ball tomorrow during breakfast. The meeting is over. You are all dismissed, have a good night. We all have a long week before us."

The prefects walked out the meeting room, chattering excitedly. All except Draco, he was too caught up thinking about one particular girl and how it would feel dancing with her...
The next morning, Professor Dumbledore had already made the announcement about the Yule Ball and everybody was very, VERY excited.

All the girls in the school were already deciding and talking about what they were going to wear while the boys merely continued eating as if there was no tomorrow.
The 2 weeks flashed by quickly and the day of the ball came. All classes were cancelled on that special Monday because no one could concentrate enough on their work.
At 6 o'clock sharp, Ginny Weasley came down her dormitory and into the Gryffindor common room, stunning everybody. She looked gorgeous.

She had recently gotten a beautiful red silk dress that was one-shoulder off. It fit her slim and lean body perfectly, showing off all her curves perfectly and her beautiful neck, thanks to the beautiful elegant knot she had twirled on her head. On her neck, she wore a beautiful ruby necklace, an inheritance from her great-great-grandmother.

All the boys jaw in the common room hit the ground as they saw normal Ginny Weasley blossom into a beautiful rose. The girls all watched in envy as she walked out of the portrait and into the Great Hall. The boys there immediately scrambled out after her.
Far away in the dungeons, Draco Malfoy was preparing for the ball. He wore a handsome dress robe with a smug grin on he's face. He looked good, and he knew it. He was on prowl and dressed to impress. Who? Ginny Weasley. As crazy as it sounds, Draco now had fully understood his heart. He had fallen for Ginny Weasley and nothing would stop him from winning her love.

He checked himself in the mirror one last time before walking out. It was 5:30. He was early, but it was his job to be. He was the Head Boy after all.
The prefects had done a great job, Hogwarts looked beautiful. Inside and out. The gardens had live fairies flying around and lots of love seats. Add the snow that was fallen and that made a truly beautiful and impressive sight to behold.

The Christmas trees in the hall were tall and beautiful, decorated with live pixies, beautiful glittering baubles and lots of mistletoe. As if that was not enough, there was enchanted snow falling from the ceiling and little Christmas angels flying around, giving out crackers and candy.
Draco Malfoy walked into the Halls and found that he was not the first one in. There were, in fact, quite a number of people there already. He took a 'Match Me Midnight Mask' and placed it against he's face. It fit snugly around him and immediately turned black and grey to match he's robes.

Draco looked at himself in the mirror and was pleased with what he saw. He looked dashing.

He walked into the Ballroom and looked around the place. The decoration was beautiful, but Ginny Weasley's beautiful scarlet hair was no where to be seen. He could not recognize anyone there and he highly doubt anyone would recognize him.

Draco took a cracker from a Christmas angel and pulled it with some unknown boy. He received a fake wand and some white mice from it.

After pulling a few more crackers, Draco sat on the side and drowned 2 mugs of butter beer. The doors of the Great Hall opened and a new group of people entered, wearing their masks, looking around, lead by a beautiful girl with flaming red hair.

Draco gasped.

He recognized her! It was Ginny...
