((Same disclaimer.

poizin- Ugh, the images. I don't like Rupert Grint. I'm not sure why. He just doesn't seem like a Ron.

obsessed87- You'll find out!

oreo69not96- Remember she doesn't know Harry likes her, and now knows that Draco does. Harry still has to tell her. That'll come up soon. Glad you like it.

Thanks for the reviews.))

Ginny had walked out of Gryffindor's dormitory feeling confused. She found herself face to face with Malfoy.

"Come." he mouthed. Trying to cover her surprise, Ginny followed him around the corner and out of sight. Draco was walking fast, and Ginny had to jog to match his pace. He stopped and turned into a dark corridor and Ginny wasn't surprised that she had never been there before. Hogwarts had many confusing routes, and she had probably walked only half in her six years.

"Listen, Weasley..." he began. his voice was low, and he was leaning close into Ginny so she could hear him. She was in a daze; would this be her first real conversation with Malfoy? In a dark corridor where they had complete privacy. This was too good. Resisting a giggle, she waited patiently for the rest. Malfoy seemed to be struggling.

Dozens of pick up phrases were rushing through his mind, but none seemed to fit Ginny. He had used thousands before, but he had never gone after a girl like Ginny. Especially since she was a Weasley, and their families loathed each other. He couldn't imagine picking Ginny up with one of his usual lines. She'd probably slap him in the face if he said something like, "Nice ass." or "You're bound to knock yourself out going up the stairs with boobs like yours. Let me help you."

Instead, he was stumbling. Something unusual for Malfoy. Ginny realized now was her time. She came to his aid.

"Um...Malfoy. That day on the train..." she began. He interrupted.

"Draco." he supplied, and Ginny nodded.

"When I fell into you..." she continued, but he interrupted her again.

"...Like this..." he said quietly, pulling her towards him. She looked up into his gray-blue eyes, and he pressed his mouth onto hers. She broke off, gazing up at him.

"I had hoped you felt the same way." she whispered. He grinned, but it only lasted a second.

"My father would kill me if he knew." Draco began.

"And what about our friends?" Ginny asked, sighing.

"We're enemies." Malfoy stated. Ginny felt an idea blossoming.

"You could act normal. Be yourself around them. Insult them so they won't suspect anything." Ginny said.

"How will you sneak away from them?" Draco asked. Ginny shrugged.

"There will be time during Harry's quidditch matches when he isn't playing Slytherin. Ron and Hermione will be watching. And I could sneak out at night. Even between classes." Ginny said.

Draco smirked. "Well then. It shouldn't be too hard."

With that, Ginny leaned closer to him, and they kissed again.

Meanwhile, Harry and Hermione were still in shock.

"Well, don't out rule coincidence." Hermione said calmly. But even she didn't believe that. Harry shook his head, still peering around the corner as if waiting for Ginny to appear.

"Honestly, Harry. Ginny fancies you. Even if they are going out, it probably won't last long. After all, Ginny has liked you since she first saw you." Hermione said supportively. Feeling happier, Harry nodded.

"Malfoy has never had a non-shag relationship. And Ginny's not the type..." Harry said. Hermione began to blush.

"Well, actually..." Hermione began, thinking of their talk earlier that day. After giving Harry a summary of their conversation, he gave a groan.

"You talked to Ginny about...that...and now she'll probably snog Malfoy." Harry said glumly. Before Hermione could protest, Ron came around the corner.

"Bloody hell. I've been looking for you both all morning. I don't have a timetable, Harry. What's our first class?" Ron asked. He didn't notice the guilty look that had appeared on Harry's face as he approached.

"Erm--Potions. Good way to start the year…but it's our only class today. We should get going now, actually." Harry said. Ron grinned.

"The first day is always the best...such little work..." Ron said grinning. He would soon be proved wrong.

They headed towards their class along with most of the other seventh year Gryffindors. Most of the Slytherins were already there. Malfoy joined the group seconds later with his usual smirk on his face. As he and Ginny had already decided, he wasn't about to suddenly be kind to the Gryffindors.

"Potter's still here? Damn. All summer I was hoping his poor little scar would hurt too much for him to return." Draco drawled. Harry spun to face Malfoy and was about to retort when Hermione placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Snape." she said quietly. Sure enough, Professor Snape was standing in the doorway. He looked disappointed as Harry controlled himself. He had lost a chance to deduct points and was already in his usual foul mood. By the end of the class, the Gryffindors were assigned a report three scrolls long on Wolfbane, and another scroll on the evils of a Love potion. At the mention of a Love potion, Harry shot a dirty look at Malfoy. He wouldn't be surprised if that's what Malfoy had done.

"Next time, Gryffindors, I expect potions. Not swamps." Snape said loftily as they group headed out. Ron was scowling.

"Four bloody scrolls due next bloody class." he hissed. Hermione snorted.

"It shouldn't be too hard if you work all tonight, Ron." she said. Ron scowled.

"I'm going to have a chess match with Dean." he insisted, and then led the way to the Great Hall. After eating, Hermione turned to Harry.

"Don't tell me you have plans tonight...?"

Harry shook his head.

"Good. Do you want to work in the Library or the Common room?" she asked. They decided on the Common room, and a few minutes later, were busy working on their Potions homework. Harry sighed. What a fun night.

Meanwhile, Ginny was laying in her bed already in her nightgown. For hours she lay there, waiting. She was unable to get to sleep. At midnight, her wand began to vibrate. Exactly when she had set it. She barely noticed that Hermione had not come up, and quickly changed back into her black school robes.

Hermione was done her four scrolls at midnight and was reading over Harry's shoulder as he worked on his third one. Even so, both noticed as Ginny slipped down the stairs and out the portrait hole. She seemed wrapped in her thoughts, and didn't notice the two. Harry exchanged worried looks with Hermione. While wanting to follow Ginny, it seemed wrong. Instead, Harry decided he'd wait until Ginny returned. And then he'd have to tell her.
