During the next week all anyone could talk about was who they were going to be going to the ball with, and of course what they were going to wear. The day finally came when the results of their partners were posted up on the wall nearest to the Great Hall. Ginny was curious, but could care less, so she just minded her business. That is until Parvarti slipped Ginny a note and whispered, "Be there!" Ginny soon turned a corner to read the note and rolled her eyes because of what she read next.
All of the Gryffindor girls are to come to Parvarti, Lavender, and Hermione's quarters at no past seven. We are going to talk about our partners, since Professor Dumbledore has posted up a note that said that everyone would find out about their partners through notes that will be passed out at breakfast. We all as Gryffindor girls should be together and host a sleepover party tonight. So.be there!"
Sincerely, Lavender & Parvarti
Ginny just scoffed, but decided that she would go, unfortunately she thought. As soon as she arrived in the Great Hall she could hear giggles and whispers, and she decided that everyone had gotten their notes, all except her. As soon as she sat down a note had been dropped into her orange juice, she picked the note up and mumbled a drying spell and opened her note and almost screamed. Noticing that she had turned pale, just about the whole of Gryffindor had questioned her feeling well. She nodded that she was fine but rushed out of the Great Hall. What she didn't know was that someone was following her. As she rounded the next corner she fell over and gave up running entirely and began to cry her eyes out.
"Why me?" Ginny mumbled quietly.
"What do you mean why you?" someone had said behind her.
Turning around quickly Ginny started to blush furiously since she noticed that it was Shawn from Ravenclaw. The Shawn that she had been crushing on from afar.
"Er. it's nothing. I just was.uh. Hey! Why were you spying on me!?" Ginny glared at him now.
"Well." He had finished blushing.
"Well.?" Ginny had questioned.
"I was, just er.. Worried. You know, since you rushed out of the Great Hall like that.." He replied thoughtfully.
"Thanks.." Ginny replied while wiping the tears from her face.
"Ah.I see you were crying. Why would a pretty girl such as yourself be crying?" He asked smiling.
"Oh, it's.because of this!" Ginny said as she shoved the note under his nose.
"Let's see. Draco Malfoy. You mean the git with the blonde hair that struts around like he knows everything?" He finished laughing
"Yeah, I bet you see why I'm crying now, eh?" Ginny said smiling.
"Well, er.yeah, but I was just about to ask you something." Shawn had faded off as if he wasn't sure if he should've said anything.
"Yeah..?" Ginny looked up at him.
"Well, would you like to. go out for a stroll with me tonight?" Shawn asked staring at her.
"Of course I would!" Ginny said while running up to him and hugging him.
Laughing, he said, "Well, good to hear it! I suppose I'll come and pick you up?"
"You don't have to come and pick me up. I can always meet you, what time would you propose?" Ginny asked excitedly.
"But I couldn't let a lady like you go on by yourself. You never know what black knight lurk the corners." He faded off with a weird smile.
"I can assure you that I am not a little helpless girl!" Ginny said looking up at him.
"Fine, how about you meet me outside the castle doors by six 'o clock? If you're any later I'm going to come find you, angry brother and all!" Shawn finished smiling.
"Oh, I see you've heard about my brothers' rages against me dating?" Ginny asked smiling as well now too.
"How could I not have?" Shawn responded chuckling.
"I suppose you're right. Well I'd better go and get ready for tonight, shouldn't I?" Ginny asked with a smirk.
"Why would you need to go and get ready? I like you just the way you are!" Shawn finished off smiling his odd little smile.
"Okay, I'll see you later?" Ginny asked while her eyes twinkled.
"Of course you'll see me later." Shawn said.
"Okay.bye.." Ginny had faded off.
"Okay, I suppose I'll see you later, my fairest." He had faded off and kissed her hand romantically.
"Bye handsome." Ginny finished off dreamily.
By the time he walked off, all Ginny could think about was a certain six foot boy with black hair, and blue eyes with hints of gray in them. Most importantly, all she could think of was his smile, it was so unique, yet she was sure that she'd seen the smile somewhere before. It was just the way he talked to her as well as his smile, like she was the most important person in the world, instead of the youngest Weasley that just so happened to be a girl, or Ron's little sister. But in the back of her head she just couldn't shake the feeling that she'd seen his smile before. The more she thought about it the more she realized that his smile had something that said 'come on I wanna do something dangerous.' The worst thing about that is that Ginny would jump off a cliff and kill herself if he had asked her to do it. Or at least that was how she felt. As the day wore on, Ginny kept watching the clock, until it finally came, five fifty-five. Ginny rushed through the rest of her dinner and ran to the front of the school. By the time she reached him she found him lazily standing with his back to the Hogwarts wall of the castle.
"Sorry I'm so late!" Ginny said breathlessly.
"You're only five minutes late! No problem, besides it was nice to just watch the lake from up here, it's beautiful! Just like you." Shawn had faded off since he started to blush a light shade of pink.
"Thanks.." Ginny said blushing as well, except hers was a bright red.
"No problem, besides you are truly beautiful!" Shawn said smiling and beaming down at Ginny.
"So. Shall we begin our stroll?" Ginny asked looking up into Shawn's eyes, completely mesmerized in them.
"Yeah, let's go!" Shawn said looking down at her with his lopsided smile.
As they walked down toward the lake, Shawn secretly took Ginny's hand, and curled his fingers between hers, and Ginny soon squeezed his hand. They walked farther and farther down the path, when Shawn suddenly noticed Ginny shivering
"Oi, did you forget your cloak?" Shawn had asked concerned.
"Yeah, I was in a mad rush to meet you that I forgot completely about it. It's alright though, I'm just fine!" Ginny said trying her best to force her now, numbed, mouth into a smile.
"No you're not fine! I would never forgive myself if you catch cold!" Shawn said looking genuinely concerned.
"N-No, I-I-I-I'm j-ust-ust fine!" Ginny said her Weasley pride taking over.
"Listen to yourself!" Shawn had said as he struggled to put the cloak over Ginny's head, but instead ended up rolling down a hill, taking a screaming Ginny down with him.
"AHHHH! Shawnnnnnn! I'm going to kill you!!" Ginny had screamed when all of the sudden she landed right smack dab on her back, and then a shocked Shawn landed right on top of her.
"You wouldn't kill me would you? Cause then I would never be able to kiss you." Shawn said while moving Ginny's hair out of her face.
"Well, maybe I'll consider letting you kiss me first." Ginny said, while smiling seductively up at Shawn.
"Well, I dunno. should I?" Shawn had asked while winking down at her.
"Well, maybe you're right." Ginny said while smirking up at him.
"What do you mean I'm right?" Shawn asked shocked.
"I never kiss on the first date!" Ginny said while trying to push Shawn off of her, but it didn't work much to Ginny's dismay.
"Oh, you don't do you? I'm sure that we could.change that. Couldn't we?" Shawn had asked while giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"I suppose we could work something out.." Ginny had said while her chocolate brown eyes had locked on Shawn's blue-gray eyes.
"So, we could either kiss like mad right here, or we could continue our walk then right before I drop you off we could kiss like mad up there. which one do you want?" Shawn had said while chuckling at Ginny's blushing cheeks.
"Er. How about.I make you wait and we continue our walk?" Ginny had asked while giggling at the look of disappointment from Shawn.
"Does it *have* to be that way?" Shawn had asked while he started to give Ginny butterfly kisses all over her face.
"Yeah, it *has* to be that way!" Ginny said laughing while she finally got the liability to shove Shawn off of her.
"Heyyy!" Shawn said disappointed.
"What?" Ginny had asked innocently.
"Come back here!" Shawn said while chasing a screaming Ginny.
"Ahhhh!" Ginny said while running away quickly.
"I'm gonna get you!" Shawn had screamed ahead of him, towards Ginny.
"No you're not! After sixteen years, almost seventeen years, with my brothers, I learned how to run!" Ginny said while screaming when she heard Shawn bellow, "ACCIO BROOM!" And saw him chase after her.
"There's a reason why I'm seeker on Ravenclaw ya know!" Shawn had said while picking Ginny up onto the broom and smiling the whole time.
"Hey! Not fair, you cheated!" Ginny pouted.
"Well, you had a head start!" Shawn whined back.
Giggling, Ginny said, " Okay, I suppose that's fair!"
"Yeah, you bet it is!" Shawn said smiling.
Soon they were soaring over the quidditch pitch, and after a few rounds Ginny had regretfully informed Shawn that she had to go and meet Parvarti and Lavender for a "private" meeting.
"Aww, do you have to?" Shawn had asked frowning.
"Yes, I have to. unfortunately." Ginny had finished looking towards the Forbidden Forest.
"Have to?" Shawn had asked curiously.
"Well, Hermione's being forced to go, so she's going to want me there to help support her, you know, since Parvarti and Lavender are.well, let's just not say tolerable." Ginny finished off giggling.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, we're here." Shawn had faded off disappointed.
"I'll see you later?" Ginny had asked hopefully.
"Of course you will! Most likely, I'll be finding you. You know that you're one hard person to find?" Shawn had asked smiling.
"Hmm.no I didn't." Ginny said smiling as well.
"So, am I going to get my kiss?" Shawn had asked with a playful look on his face, one that should only stay on little toddlers' faces.
"Shouldn't I be asking *you* that?" Ginny asked giving him a playful shove.
"Oh, I suppose, but. You do owe me, after all I did catch you!" Shawn had said while giving her a determined look.
"Oh, well then I suppose that my knight in shinning armor deserves a kiss from his.?" Ginny had faded off, trying to think of what she should call herself.
"Lady in shinning white?" Shawn asked laughing.
"Hmm. not bad?" Ginny had asked laughing along with Shawn.
"Well." Shawn had faded off looking around, off into the distance.
"Well, I s'pose I've gotta go.huh?" Ginny had asked looking down toward the ground.
"Yeah.." Shawn had faded off before cupping her chin in his hand and tilted her head to the side and had kissed her gently, but tenderly.
"Thanks." Ginny had mumbled.
"Thanks? For what?" Shawn had asked puzzled (AN: guys can be sooo clueless! LOL!).
"She's never kissed a guys before, DUH!" Someone had screamed close by.
"Huh?" Ginny had asked blushing madly.
"Oh.er. I don't think you're going to be happy, it's your *ahem* friends." Shawn had said laughing.
"Oh gosh! I'm going to kill them!" Ginny said while giving Shawn one last loving look and a kiss on the cheek, and jumped onto the window and waved her good-bye.
"Bye, my lady in shinning white!" Shawn had waved Ginny off.
"Bye!" Said a chorus of girls all around Ginny.
Ginny was then surrounded by a ton of girls asking how it was, and if they were going to see each other again.

A.K.A Ginnygirl (changed my fanfic name!!! Just in case you're wonderin'.)
