It's been a while since I've updated, I'm just making this up as I go along so just, go with me here. Oh, and when you read about the password for Gryffindor, don't ask! I couldn't think of anything and it says verbatim on this thing right next to me so I made up something that rhymed with it.

"So, what's this idea of yours?" Ginny asked giddily.

Suddenly Parvati and Lavender emerged from the Great Hall.

Ginny, who had great instincts, whipped around and walked away with a smug look on her face.

Draco smirked and left to walk in the other direction. This left Parvati and Lavender very confused.

"Hey! Ginny! What did Malfoy say to you?" Lavender asked as she ran to catch up with Ginny.

"He was just being himself."

"You mean a foul prat?" Parvati asked.

"And evil, he's evil too." Ginny said as they emerged the portrait hole.

"Verbatim Organim" Ginny said. The portrait hole swung open and they all stepped inside the brightly lit common room.

"Who thinks up the passwords anyway?" Parvati asked.

"Probably McGonagall." Lavender said.

"Speaking of McGonagall, did you see her hair the other day?!" Parvati and Lavender burst in to a fit of giggles.

"Her hair is the same EVERYDAY." Ginny said and left Lavender and Parvati to their giggling.

"Hermione? What are you doing in here? I thought you'd be off with Harry and Ron." Ginny asked as she entered the dormitories.

"I was but then Malfoy and his fan club showed up when we were out on the grounds."

"What?!" Ginny practically shouted. Was this part of Draco's idea? Ginny thought

"He keeps stalking me. I told him to bugger off and it SEEMED like Ron was on my side for a little while but then—"

"Then what?" Ginny asked eagerly

"Malfoy said some things, to me it seemed half way flattering half way disgusting then Ron, oh god Ron, he is so easily corrupted you know that?"

"What did Ron do?"

"He rounded on me, accusing me, again, of. . . I don't know, like I've been having some sort of relationship with Malfoy!" Hermione exclaimed, (hence the exclamation point)

"What happened then???" Ginny asked, This is better than Percy's diary! thought Ginny.

"Ron said some nasty things about me, right there, in front of everyone." Hermione sniffled. Ginny handed her a tissue and Hermione continued her story.

"Harry tried to set him right, telling him he was off and that I would never do something like that, at least Harry defends me, but Harry wasn't the only one who did." Hermione sniffled again.

"Did Malfoy. . .?"

Hermione nodded, "It seemed that what Ron said upset Malfoy so he attacked him."

"Verbally or physically?" Ginny asked.

"Physically, he banged Ron up pretty badly, all Malfoy managed to get was a bloody nose."

"Cool..."

"What?"

"Umm, I said cruel, that was very very cruel."

"Yeah it was, It seems a bit backwards doesn't it? When Ron insults me and Draco defends me?"

"You just called him Draco." Ginny tried not to smile.

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did not."

"I'm not going to fall for that Ginny."

"Damn. So where's Ron, Harry, and Malfoy now?" Ginny asked.

"Hospital wing."

"Shall we go see them?"

"You can go, I don't want to see that prat."

"Oh, I should've guessed you didn't want to see Ron."

"No, I meant Malfoy."

"What?"

"He's up to something Ginny, I know it. Besides, Ron is much worse than a prat, he's a. . . a. . ."

"Guy?" Ginny asked.

"Exactly." Hermione said.

Ginny gave a Hermione a reassuring smile, this was just too good.
