OMG!! Thank you all so much for your reviews. If you're not mentioned here it's because when I was writing this you hadn't reviewed yet. Sorry
Morgain Lestrage – Sorry it's so short and I know it's like a lot of others but I couldn't come up with a good plot
Merenwen Greenleaf – Once again, I am so sorry it's so short but in the words of my friend – it's better to have short chapters and update often then have long chapters and update every 6 months!
CoolGirlEmily – glad you liked the style of my writing!
CocoaQT15 – thank you so much for reviewing again. I got two thumbs up??? WOW
lucugirl07 – I hope there's more in this one too but I can't make any promises
major issues 4 life – love your name, describes me to a T. thank you 4 taking the hint and reviewing. Harry will have a cameo in this chapter! My house is pretty boring as well, so here I am sitting at a 'puter going pale :::sigh:: I have no life. Your review is not pointless, without reviews, I'd never update!
Punkrokgurl – v. glad that you picked that up, will try to make longer chapters. I don't understand how I can write a 3500-word chapter one day and only have 1000 in one another day. Oh well...
Lazy-anji – thanks! You're right, it probably won't happen for at least 3 more chapters, but hang in there! D/G was the first pairing of HP that I ever read, so I love it too, but I love SS/HG more ( well, you will find out if he notices her by reading ahead!!!!
Criminally-Insane – you stole Ron's Best Mates text cookie for your profile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I stole it for my story! ;) I know it's cliché, but sometimes that is better than real life. The button is very happy. That thing is just from insert symbols, wingdings I think.
Lady Meriadoc – I hope I can convince you, but I'm not really that much of a d/g shipper either, I prefer HG/SS. What do you ship?

PLEASE REVIEW AND GO READ MY OTHER FICS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SS/HG ESPECIALLY WIKTT AS I AM VERY PROUD OF IT AND IT IS OVER 3200 WORDS!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 3 – an encounter of the Harry kind

Draco Malfoy mentally slapped himself after Ginny had disappeared from his sight. Why was he watching her? She was a Weasley. A sworn enemy of the Malfoys. The sister of his arch nemesis's best friend. He wasn't supposed to watch her like he had done last night and now this morning, though she didn't know this time. What's more, he was actually concerned for her. Concerned for her! Concerned for why she was acting strange and wondering why.
Shaking himself, he put it down to the food, which was much less superior then that which was served at the Malfoy Mansion, and continued eating said food. After a few minutes though, he rose and exited the hall, brushing off inquires from his peers, asking where he was going.
Making his solitary way to the Transfiguration classroom, his footsteps deliberately slow and even, he suddenly bumped into something or somethings very solid. Trying not to lose his balance, he quickly regained his steely composure and prepared to face the unlucky souls, pasting a fierce glare onto his face.
"Sorry," he heard a male voice say before said male looked up to see whom it was. Upon seeing it was Draco, Ron quickly corrected his mistake.
"Oh it's you. Pity you didn't fall"
"My sentiments exactly Weasley," he replied, replacing the glare with a mocking sneer.
"Oh and what's this? Potty and Mudblood are here too. How...unfortunate, one of you is unbearable enough alone," Draco added scathingly.
Ron's face had turned a nice shade of purple similar to the shade his face had been on the train, though he wasn't as livid, which overall was probably a good thing. The others however luckily had more self-control and their faces were the normal skin-tone.
"He's not worth it Ron," Harry advised. "Let's just go, we're already late."
"Yes Weasley, why not take your friend's wise advice and just go...back to whatever planet you originally came from. Or maybe just back to the gutter where you and the rest of your filthy family belong"
"Why you filthy loathsome cockroach," exclaimed Hermione, using the same words she had used in her third year just before she had slapped him.
Realising this and remembering the painful imprint of a hand that had stayed there for at least a few hours, he hurriedly backed away much to the trio's amusement.
Before they could comment on it however, Professor Dumbledore arrived on the scene and for once Draco was actually glad to see the meddling old fool. He had probably just interrupted what could have been in the top ten list of his most embarrassing moments, the number one spot currently being held by the 'ferret incident' closely followed by Hermione's slap.
"Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy," he acknowledged, addressing them each in turn.
"Headmaster," replied Hermione politely, ever the model student, Draco thought with a sneer.
"Ought you three to be in Transfiguration and you, Mr Malfoy in Herbology?" he questioned gently, periwinkle blue eyes twinkling behind his half moon spectacles.
"Errm, w-we were just heading there," explained Ron, stuttering a bit, the colour fading from his face to resume its normal colour.
"Well then I think that you had better hurry as class started 5 minutes ago," Dumbledore admonished gently.
"Yes sir," they replied nearly in unison, before hurrying off to their separate classes.

Ginny sighed yet again as she sat in third period Potions with the Slytherins, it seemed every year had Gryffindor and Slytherin together for potions. She presumed it had something to do with house unity, inter-house relationships and all that crap. When would Dumbledore get the point and realise that it was never going to happen? These rivalries went back centuries, right back to the four founders even.
At the moment, Snape was droning on as usual – something about the 88 uses of Mandrake Root, yawn. Ginny looked up then as he had finally finished talking and saw that instructions now filled the board on how to make a Fraunus draught. It was a simple potion, one she could probably have done in her second year and so by the time she had finished, there was still 10 minutes till class ended.
Raising her hand, she waited to be acknowledged by Snape, clearing her throat when he didn't look up. Hearing this, he looked up and raised an eyebrow questioningly, prodding her to go on.
"I've finished my Potion Sir," she explained, meeting his gaze.
"Well then Miss Weasley, bring it to the front and we will test it," he drawled. "If it works then you may go, but if it doesn't then you will receive a week of detention."
Fairly confident that she had gotten it correct, Ginny strolled up to the front desk with a flask of her potion in one hand and swallowed it whole, unaware that she actually had gotten it wrong. Snape quickly administered the counter potion as well as a week of detention and 30 house points from Gryffindor. Spirits definitely dropping now, she went back to her desk to wait until the end of the lesson, the only thing cheering her up the fact that it was nearly lunch.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
When Ginny arrived at the Great Hall for lunch, she was pleased to see that Harry was already there, and so went and sat opposite him. Harry didn't notice though and continued to eat his pees at a painstakingly slow rate.
"Hi Harry," she purred in an attempt at sounding seductive, realising she probably sounded anything but and that she perhaps should have practised it.
"Oh, hi Ginny," he replied absentmindedly, not even looking up.
Ginny nearly screamed in frustration, but refrained from doing so.
"So Harry, how was your first Quidditch training session as captain?" she asked, confident that this would get his attention as he had just been made captain and couldn't have been more thrilled.
Ginny was right. Instantly he looked up and proceeded to ramble on about things she couldn't care less about. He didn't comment on her appearance though much to her dismay, her heat sinking. She decided that it hadn't been a drastic enough change and so started thinking of other ways to attract his attention whilst nodding every now and then.

WOW! I'm like updating way faster then I usually – once every 6 months. That might be because my chapters are incredibly short or simply because I feel like concentrating on only one story at a time instead of writing 10 at a time, which I never get around to uploading anyhow.
Next chapter – I have no idea what's going to happen so it might take me a little longer to update. Sorry, if you have any ideas at how else Ginny can go about getting Harry's attention, tell me in a review!
