A/N Finally Done! I'm so happy that this chapter is done. I'm going fanfic crazy since I'm always writing and writing and writing... Ok, now anyways, you will notice that some strange people will tryout, but I'm not gonna tell who, even though I'm just dying to blurt it out. It's— not saying it, it'll ruin the surprise for you.

IMPORTANT: I NEED SOME VOTES! I have received a review that the person didn't like the Draco/Ginny deal. Well, to those people that don't like the idea, please vote in your review. Either write that you want Ginny and Draco together or you don't.

Disclaimer: Oh how I wish that I could own Harry Potter, but unfortunately, the only character that I really own is Susan Calsier and maybe a few others.

BREAKING NEWS: I NEED SOME ADVICE! I am having second thoughts about writing this fic, should I continue? Please tell me. If I don't continue, then I will start writing a James/Lily kind of fic. If I do, I'll write the other fic at the same time as this one. Please tell me what you think about this.

Now the story continues.

Chapter 6

Quidditch Tryouts

The rest of the week passed by uneventfully. Finally, it was time for Quidditch tryouts. Harry and Ron were the only one's that were in the changing room since they were on the team.

"I wonder who's going to try out today?" said Harry.

"Whoever it is, I hope that they're good."

"Ginny and Susan said that they were going to try out for chaser. So if they get the position, then we will need 1 chaser and two beaters."

"Speaking of Ginny, do you know why she's been acting so weird lately? She's always staring off into space and daydreaming."

"Have you asked her about it?"

"Well, no. but what am I going to say, Ginny, why are you acting so weird lately?"

"That's a bit too harsh. Ask Hermione, she'll probably know. I mean, Ginny is a close friend of hers."

"Hermione knows but she wouldn't tell me. I mean Ginny is my sister, I'm just so worried about her."

"Maybe Hermione's right. Ginny does deserve some privacy; you're just too overprotective of her. You need to let go a bit."

"I am not overprotective." Ron said hotly.

"Yes you are."

"No I'm no—

'It's time for tryouts. Get your broom and let's go."

"But—

"NOW!"

They left the room and went out onto the Quidditch field. Harry was holding a long sheet of paper with names of who was going to try out that was given to him by McGonagall who was really going to pick who the new teammates would be. Both of them mounted their brooms and flew around for a while until the people came.

"Okay, now." Harry said. "First will be the beater tryouts. Travis Barmen is up first."

Travis was pretty good even though he could have done better.

"Next up is Bobby Willham."

This boy was really bad.

And so the beater tryouts continued.

A lot of surprising people tried out, including Creevey Collins [A/N: Did you notice that Creevey is sort off spelled like creepy. But the name does suit him], Neville (although he nearly fell off his broom, his grandmother probably made him try out.) and a bunch of boys from the Harry Potter Fan Club that they made up that didn't even know how to sit on a broom properly. [A/N: is there a Sirius Black or Orlando Bloom Fan Club? Somebody tell me, I wanna join]

"Now for Chaser tryouts, Lavender Brown?"

"Hi there, Ron." Lavender said with a smile.

"Oh hey." Ron said.

"You know, that uniform looks perfect on you. It outlines your strong arms. Do you work out?"

"Uh..."

"Lavender, are you going to try out of what? People are waiting." Susan said rudely from beneath.

"Right." Lavender fluttered her eyelashes at Ron

What the hell is going on?

Ron shot Harry a look but Harry seemed just as surprised as he was at Lavenders behavior.

Lavender wasn't really good, actually, she really sucked. She just stared at Ron and when she tried to throw the quafle into the hoop, she missed by a couple of meters.

The next person was Susan. She was really good and Harry kept complimenting her and cheering for her while Ron was scowling and wondering why Harry was making such a fool of himself. Of course he knew that he liked her, but that was no reason to make a fool of himself. Or maybe it was. He didn't really know since it wasn't that way with Hermione.

A couple more people tried out.

Ginny went and she performed so good, that Harry was sure that she was guaranteed a spot on the team.

Then next up was Hermione.

"Good luck, Hermione." Whispered Susan and Ginny excitedly.

"Thanks."

"Hmph." Said Lavender

"Well, excuse you, but nobody was even talking to you." Said Hermione. "And stop flirting with Ron, he's never going to like you or be your boyfriend."

"We'll see."

Hermione looked as if she wanted to slap her. Trying to regain calm, Hermione walked out onto the field and tried out.

Harry couldn't believe it. Ron was just gaping at her. Both of the boys were wondering why Hermione was trying out. They knew that she didn't exactly like the game. She said it herself that she thought that it was boring. But they were once again surprised because Hermione turned out to be good.

A couple more people passed. Finally, tryouts were over.

After Harry and Ron changed, they joined Susan, Ginny and Hermione, who were waiting for them.

"Hermione, you never told me that you were going to try out for the team." Said Ron, amazed.

"Yeah, I thought that you didn't like Quidditch." Put in Harry.

"I didn't before, but after Ginny explained it to me, I thought that it was fun. Ginny and Susan helped me practice for a chaser."

"I'm impressed, you're pretty good. To tell you the truth, I already decided who will be on the team." Said Harry.

"Who?" chorused the rest.

"For beaters, Travis Barmen and Ricky Wayne. And for chasers, drum roll please...

Ron did a drum roll.

"Ginny."

"No surprises there." Said Hermione.

"Susan."

"Yes." Cried Susan and slapped her friends high fives.

"And...the last people for the team...can you guess who it is? Well, she's a girl... she's hopelessly in love... And she's—

"Just cut to the chase."

"All right. It's Lavender."

All of them just stared at Harry.

"Are you crazy?" blurted out Ginny.

"He's definitely lost his mind. She was horrible." Said Ron.

"JOKE!" yelled Harry. "You guys are so gullible. Did you actually think that I would pick her? I didn't even pick! McGonagall was the one that chose the people."

"Then who is it?"

"It's...now; I will give you three more clues..."

"JUST SAY WHO THE BLOODY DAMN IT IS!" all of them yelled at Harry.

Harry grinned. "Congratulations, Hermione."

"What, oh, I made it? I actually made it." Exclaimed Hermione.

"Yay! Now we can practice Quidditch together!" exclaimed Susan, doing a little dance. "Uh, no you can't." said a new voice. It was Lavender.

"What?" said Ginny

"You heard me. The professor said that I was going to be the chaser, not you." Lavender said, pointing at Hermione.

"Oh, please, like I would believe that. A troll plays Quidditch better than you. Come to think of it, it also looks much better than you..."

Everybody except Lavender laughed.

"Oh Ronnie." Lavender said, batting her eyes. "Will you come join me for a picnic? I made all the food myself. Well, how 'bout it?" she batted her eyes again.

"Lavender" Ron said, his voice filled with mock concern. "Do you have an eye problem? Your eye keeps twitching."

Everybody started laughing at that again. Susan laughing so hard, that she fell down on the grass. Luckily, Harry caught her before she fell.

Finally admitting defeat, Lavender walked away.

"Why was she acting like that anyway?" asked Ron.

"Ron, don't you ever use your head? She obviously likes you and is trying to get you to dump Hermione and ask her out." Said Ginny exasperatedly.

"Even if she is, she's not trying very hard now is she?"

"Well, she was flirting shamelessly with you, even though you were so thick, you didn't even catch on." Said Hermione.

"You could have played along." Said Harry. "It would have been funnier that way."

"Don't worry, she'll be back. Girls like her just can't take no for an answer."

"Come on, it's getting dark. We should be heading back to the common room."

They went back to the common room and chatted a bit. Harry posted the results of the tryouts and the next practice time. Before they knew it, it was once again time to go to sleep.

When Ginny went to breakfast in the morning, Malfoy slipped her a note. She got up and motioned Hermione and Susan to meet her in the hallway.

"What is it?" asked Hermione.

"Malfoy gave me a note."

"Well, what does it say?"

"I haven't opened it yet."

"Well, open it." Urged Susan

Ginny opened it and read, "Meet me by the front hall at 8:00pm. Make sure nobody sees you. And don't tell your brother where you're going. Also, we're not gonna go on the broom ride, we're going to a dance club. Kisses and Hugs, Draco Malfoy."

"Well, that makes it official."

"What makes it official?"

"This is your first official date with Draco Malfoy."

"Well, what are you going to wear?"

"I don't know yet."

"Well, come on, we have to get you ready for your big day. I mean night."

Ginny laughed. "But all the same, what should I wear?"

"Come with us, I have a new dress, you can borrow it."

"And I have some makeup."

"Okay."

The three girls went back into the Great Hall.

The most of the day was used to try and catch up on homework.

When it was 5 o'clock, the three girls went up to their dormitory. Susan got out the outfit and Hermione got the makeup. Ginny's dress was short and black with straps. Both of them did her hair. They curled it and had it lay down on her shoulders. By the time they were done, it was 5 minutes to eight.

"There."

"You look very pretty. Malfoy is going to love it."

"Uh, guys. We have one more problem. How am I going to slip through the door without my brother noticing me?"

"Uh, to tell you the truth, I have no idea." Said Susan truthfully.

"I do. Lets do what we do best."

"You mean, flirt?"

"Well, sort of. Just start gushing over them and all. And while their looking the other way, Ginny could escape unnoticed. How's that for a plan?"

"That's a good plan." Said Parvati who had just come in. "Harry and Ron are sitting by the fire right now. How abut I help you? I can open the door for Ginny so she can get by quicker. So how about it?"

"Yeah, we can use all the help that we can get."

"Ok. Operation Distracting Harry and Ron is about to begin. Let's do it."

The two girls went out of their dorm and headed towards the fire where Harry and Ron sat.

"Hey honey, what are you doing?" said Hermione, sitting down by Ron.

"Oh, uh, I'm trying to finish my homework."

"How about I do it for you?"

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I think that we never have time for each other anymore."

"Yeah. So do I."

Hermione sat in Ron's lap. "Wanna do that dreadful homework together?" she whispered.

"Sure." They cuddled.

Mean while Susan was flirting with Harry.

"You know, that sweater really matches your eyes. And doesn't your hair look cute when you mess it up?"

"Uh." Harry was confused. Why the sudden change in the behavior? She never acted like this before. But Harry wasn't complaining. In fact, he was happy.

"You are one handsome hunk of a guy. Do you have some time for me?" Susan said.

"Of course. How about the next Hogsmade visit, we can spend the whole day together."

"Of course." Susan saw Parvati leaving the dorm with Ginny. Susan made Harry look the other way so he wouldn't see Ginny. Hermione wasn't even aware of what was going on. Those two seemed to be absorbed in each other. Even Susan was enjoying her time with Harry.

"Anything for you." Susan whispered. Her face was inches from Harry's face. They kept coming together closer... and closer... until... they kissed. Afterwards, everything seemed like a blur. When they let go, they seemed to have been in a trance. Everybody was watching and then the crowd broke into applause. Then both of them looked at each other and Susan blushed a deep crimson color. [A/N: Merileth, if you are reading this, please don't hurt me or be mad.]

"Um, I have to go." Susan said. Before Harry could call her back, she sprinted up to her dorm and closed the door behind her, breathing heavily.

A couple minutes later, Hermione and Parvati came into the dorm.

"What happened?" Hermione said.

Susan didn't answer her . "Did Ginny slip by unnoticed?"

"Yeah, but you were great. You had Harry wrapped around your finger. He didn't act like that when he asked to the dance in our fourth year." Said Parvati. "And Hermione didn't even seem to be acting. She and Ron were in their own magical world."

Hermione blushed, "at first I was acting, but then it just came naturally. What about you?"

"I don't know what came over me. One minute I was just doing a little bit of flirting and the next I ..." Susan's voice drifted away.

"Are you going to see him again?" asked Parvati even though she already knew the answer.

"Well, I'll have to. I hate to admit it, but I do like him and I said I'll go on a date with him on the Hogsmade visit."

"Are you going to talk to him before that?"

"Um, well, I—

There was a knock on the door and Harry came in.

"Can I talk to Susan, alone?" he asked.

Hermione and Parvati nodded and left the dorm.

Susan felt her face grow hot again so she tried to hide it by rummaging through her trunk.

"Well, um, we have to talk about this." Harry said finally. His hands were in his pockets and he looked really uncomfortable.

When Susan didn't answer, Harry said, "I-I guess I'll go now."

"No. please stay. I know that after that, you might not want to have anything to do with me and I will un—

"What are you talking about? Of course I want you to be my friend, (and even more, Harry thought). One scene isn't going to spoil anything." Harry burst out.

Susan smiled. "Ok, thanks."

Harry smiled back. "So this is how the girls' dorm looks. You know, I've never been here before. It looks like my dorm, except for the pink curtains."

"Well, you're not supposed to be here. This is a girl's dorm, not boys."

"Whatever. Wanna go play a game of Wizards Chess?"

"You know that I'm gonna beat you."

"You're on."

When they exited the room, Harry's hand brushed hers. She smiled at him and held his hand. When they entered the Common Room, all the girls started giggling.

"Move it, move it, come on, nothing to see here." Said Hermione when Susan and Harry entered the room.

Susan sat down on one of the chairs while Harry went to get his game set. When he returned, he was carrying the game and he also seemed to put on some cologne.

"Come on, let's go to the library, it's open till 10:00pm." Hermione said to Ron, pulling him out of his chair.

"But—

Hermione gave him a look.

"Oh, all right." Grumbled Ron.

As Hermione was heading out with Ron, she gave Susan an encouraging smile.

"Bye." Called Harry.

"See ya." Said Ron.

"Now, back to business. Et the game of chess begin."

They played and Susan won.

"I told you that I would win." She told him.

"No fair, I want a rematch."

"Fine."

Harry won the second match. They played another one and Harry also won this one.

They never even noticed when Hermione and Ron slipped by. By that time it was midnight and time to go to sleep. They said goodnight and went to their dorms. Susan went to her dorm, woke up Hermione, and together they went back to the common room to wait for Ginny

In the Great Hall at 8:00pm.

When Ginny arrived, Malfoy was already waiting for her.

"You're late." He said, looking at his watch.

"I had to try not to attract attention."

"That's no excuse."

"Did you want Ron to kill you?"

Draco hesitated and changed the subject. "You look very pretty."

"Thank you."

"Shall we go?"

"Yes."

They exited Hogwarts. After a while of walking, Ginny asked, "You told me that we were going to fly on your broomstick. Well, we're walking right now."

"Hold on a minute, will you?"

They kept on walking. Ginny was having second thoughts about it. Why was I stupid enough to go with him? Bad guys don't change, what makes him any different?

"We're here."

Ginny looked around. They were in the Forbidden forest. So much for a romantic date, she scoffed. She was about to go back out when something caught her eye. It had headlights and was black. It drove out of the woods and turned out to be a limo. Ginny gasped.

"Well, get in." said Malfoy, holding the door open for her. Ginny got in and Malfoy followed suit. Inside, the limousine was gorgeous. The seats weren't a regular black, but they were embroidered with gold lace. There was a TV inside, although Ginny didn't know what it was.

"So, do you like it?"

"It's great." Ginny whispered. "So where are we going?"

"I hope that you're a good dancer since we're going to a dance club even though you've probably never even been in one, they're much too expensive for your family."

"Malfoy, can you stop with the insults for one night?"

"Fine."

They didn't talk the rest of the way to the dance club. When they arrived, Malfoy opened the door for Ginny and she got out. They went to this club called the Coco Bongo Club. [A/N: I know the name sounds corny, but it was all I could come up with] and danced until late into the night.

"So, do you like it?" asked Malfoy.

"Yeah, it's great."

"Do you want to go get some thing to drink?"

"Fruit Punch would be nice."

"I'll go get it." Malfoy left for the refreshments.

When Malfoy left her side, she was asked to dance by some other guy. She said no because she was waiting for Malfoy. She was just looking around when somebody stood up behind her and said, "Miss me?"

"Nope. Where are the drinks?"

"Here." Malfoy handed Ginny a glass.

Both of them sipped for a while.

A slow song came on.

"Would you like to dance?" asked Malfoy, holding out his hand.

"Sure." Ginny took his hand and they started dancing.

Malfoy put his arms around Ginny and Ginny laid her head on his shoulder. They danced for quite some time.

"It's time to go." Malfoy whispered to Ginny.

"Oh, it is?" Ginny checked her watch and gasped. "It's almost three in the morning. I really have to go."

"So do I."

They let go of each other and went to the limo. Inside, they chatted for a while until the car drove up to the entrance of Hogwarts.

They went inside the castle and walked until they came to a fork. Ginny had to go one way and Draco the other.

"I had a great time. Thanks, Draco."

"You called me by my first name."

"I guess I did."

"Well, no problem, I had a great time too."

Once again, Ginny put her arms around him and they kissed. Then they went their separate ways.

By the time Ginny got back, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning and Hermione and Susan, waiting for her, no doubt, had already fallen asleep. Ginny tried to not disturb them but they woke up anyway.

"So, how was it?" said Susan.

"It was great, but weird also." And Ginny told them all about it.

"Malfoy doesn't seem to be the type who cares for anybody except himself." Said Hermione.

"Yeah, but he's different now."

"Slitherins don't change." Said Hermione.

"Some of them might be nice." Put in Susan.

"Look, Malfoy's father was a Death Eater that we caught last year."

"He was? Then, I don't know what to think anymore." Said Susan.

"But he sure seemed nice to Ginny."

All of them started giggling.

By the time they decided to go to sleep, they were all giggly and went to sleep at four in the morning.
