Fluff-o-meter: Not much fluff. At least I don't think.

Recap: Draco then opened the letter and read it. Reading it one more time he collapsed onto his bed in shock.

"Where have you been?!" Ron asked her.

The Fight That Ended It

Friday came around without Ginny or Draco expressing their real feelings towards each other. Neither of them wanted to scare the other away. They did however spend more time together. After breakfast, lunch, dinner, the weekends and they would steal the occasional kiss in an empty corridor or classroom.

This may have made them happy, but it certainly made others mad. Ron hated that his little sister was always out with some guy who, one, he didn't know, and two, was a guy. The fact that he was still in heated water with his sister and she was still seeing this guy made him even angrier.

Another person who hated Draco and Ginny spending so much time together was Pansy. She still hadn't told anyone about them, but the two still together made that option look very nice. She still would do anything to get with Draco, even after he insulted her, so before Potions that Friday she stopped Ron in the hall right before we was about to enter the classroom.

"Hwy Weasley!" She called from the room across from the Potions room.

Ron turned around from walking into the room and glared at her. "What do you want Parkinson?" He asked.

"I don't want anything from you, but I do have something you're gonna want." Pansy said jumping around the point she was trying to make.

Ron walked over to Pansy annoyed that she was even doing this. "What could you possibly have that I want?" He asked when he was in the classroom with her.

"I know who you're sister had been spending all her time with." She told him nonchalantly picking at her fingernails.

"Who?" Ron asked eagerly.

Pansy let out a small chuckle. "Wouldn't you like to know that it's Draco Malfoy himself?" She said letting out another chuckle.

Fury was the only thing Ron felt and the only emotion showing on his face. "You mean…" he trailed off.

Pansy nodded her head with a satisfying grin. "Yup…your sister is shagging the enemy." She whispered into Ron's ear. She stepped back smoothed out her robes then looked at Ron. "Well have a nice day," she said very fake then left.

Ron was beyond furious. He was gonna kill Malfoy then kill Ginny. How could Ginny be so stupid to get together with a Malfoy? He stomped into the Potions classroom and sat down in his seat glaring at Malfoy until he was sitting.

"Is everything okay Ron?" Harry asked looking at his friend's very red and very mad face. Ron turned to face him and just glared. "Okay…not gonna ask." Harry said turning to face Snape who had just entered the room.

"Today you will be partnered up again to answer questions on the potion you made yesterday. When you are finished copy down tonight's homework and do it. Now get with your assigned partners." Snape said then walked to his desk and sat down.

About 20 minutes into the class Snape stepped out of the classroom to get a few plants from Sprout for some potions, leaving the class alone. Bad move on Severus.

Ron turned around in his seat and glared at Draco. After a few seconds Draco felt his gaze and looked up.

"What?" He asked annoyed.

"Don't touch my sister ever again!" Ron said saying each word with force.

Upon hearing this Ginny's head shot up from her work and she looked between her brother and Draco.

"I haven't laid one finger on your sister Weasley" Draco said keeping the promise he made to Ginny to not tell people about their relationship until this weekend when they went to Hogsmeade together.

Ron flew out of his seat and banged his fist on the desk making people flinch at the sound. "Cut the bullshit! I know it's you who my sister is spending all her time with! And it was you who she spent Saturday and Sunday night with!" Ron yelled at Draco.

Ginny's face became bright red and her eyes widen like a fish. Draco slowly stood up from his seat.

"So what. If I. Am?" He asked Ron glaring him in the eyes.

Ginny stood up and walked over to Ron and Draco.

"Ron, Draco…please" She said looking at the two.

"Stay out of this Gin!" Draco and Ron yelled at the same time.

Now everyone knew that what Ron said was true. That Ginny and Draco were dating because under no circumstance would a Malfoy call a Weasley and vice versa by their first name unless they were seeing each other.

"Well you better stop before I stop this little relationship of yours" Ron said still having a staring contest with Draco.

Hermione stood up and put a hand on Ron's arm. "Ron…not now…just let it go for now." She said.

Ron turned to her and nodded his head okay. Draco smirked at the impact Hermione had on Ron and couldn't help but let the comment her had come out.

"Weasley whipped by Granger," he said chuckling and smirking. "Tusk, Tusk…now he's gone so low to shag a muggle," he pretended to think for a bit and Ron glared at him hard. "I did hear Mudbloods do it the best." He drawled.

That was the final straw for Ron. He jumped over the desk and toppled Draco. He threw a punch at Draco, connecting with his cheek only to get one in return to connect wit his eyes. Ron threw another punch hitting his nose and Draco threw another one that hit Ron in his jaw.

Those were the only hits thrown because Harry and Seamus pulled Ron away from Draco and Crabbe and Goyle pulled Draco away from Ron. They both shot daggers at each other trying to get out of the hold they were in. That was when Snape walked back in.

"What is going on here?!" He yelled making everyone stop dead in their tracks.

"Malfoy's going out with my sister!" Ron yelled still struggling to get out of Harry's and Seamus' hold.

"Why do you care anyway!?" Draco yelled back.

"Because she's my sister!" Ron yelled back thinking that was a justified answer.

Throughout the whole ordeal Ginny stood shocked watching the entire thing.

"Be quiet!' Snape yelled. "Potter, Granger, and Miss Weasley take Mr. Weasley here to the hospital wing. Crabbe, Goyle take Mr. Malfoy there to." The students nodded their heads and took Ron and Draco to the hospital wing to get cleaned and fixed up.

That night after dinner Ginny walked into the common room as Harry, Hermione and Ron were talking about what happened today in Potions.

"Gin!" Ron yelled from by the fire. Ginny turned to look at Ron. "We need to talk."

Ginny nodded her head then took a seat in the overstuff red chair across from the gold couch Ron, Harry, and Hermione were in. "What do you wanna talk about?" Ginny asked already knowing where this was headed.

Ron looked at her and glared. "Why Malfoy?" he asked.

Ginny shrugged and leaned back in her chair. "Why not?" she asked.

Ron banged his fist on the couch the sound muffled by the cushion. "Don't answer a question with a question and just answer me Ginny! Tell me why…why did you choose him?" He yelled.

Ginny looked down at her hands and answered. "Because he's good to me…and he's amazing." She told Ron.

Ron glared at Ginny again and shook his head. "Listen Gin…I owled Fred and George and they agree with me. You have a choice-"

Ginny shot her head up and cut Ron off. "Ron don't do this to me…don't make me choose!" She pleaded.

"I'm sorry Ginny but you have too!" Ron said getting mad.

Ginny got out of the chair and started pacing the room tears falling out of her eyes. Ron watched her.

"So Gin what's it gonna be?"

Ginny turned to look at Ron and sighed deeply.

Ginny walked down the hallway and stopped at Draco's door. She took a deep breath and stared at the portrait that was sleeping already then knocked. Draco opened the door and let Ginny inside.

"Hey hunny…I am so sorry about today" he said then went to kiss her, but Ginny turned her head and he got her cheek with some hair. He looked at her oddly. "Is something wrong?"

Ginny sighed as tears started to flow again. She walked to the bed and sat down and started wringing her fingers together nervously. "We need to talk," she said softly.

Draco's face fell…those were the four little four little words everyone hated to hear in any language. He sat down next to her and looked at his hands.

"I'm so sorry Draco, but I can't see you anymore." Ginny told him small tears running down her cheeks.

"Why?" Draco asked getting upset.

"Draco what happened today shouldn't have happened…and what you said to Hermione" Ginny said shaking her head her face in confusion.

"You know I didn't mean that!" Draco cried.

"Listen Draco…they're making me chose and as much as I want to be with you I can't lose my family." Ginny said crying.

Draco grabbed her hands. "Ginny please don't do this! You have to be strong…they'll come around...they'll understand. Just please don't leave me" Draco begged very uncharacteristic for him. But Ginny made him different and he couldn't lose that.

"Draco…please don't make this harder for me. It's bad enough I have to give you up" Ginny said through tears.

"Please Ginny…please. You're the only person I have ever cared about. I've never felt this way before; please don't take this away from me. Gin…I need you." Draco said on the verge of tears.

Ginny slowly stood up and pulled her hands away from out of Draco's. "I'm so sorry Draco" she whispered breathlessly then walked out of his room.
