Chapter 7: Cheese
Draco had cancelled the third tutor session due to the fact that he had quidditch practice. Ginny didn't mind she was tired of potions. It had only been a week but already she had made 5 different types of potions. She hadn't gotten to spend anytime with Colin and he had been her best friend since her first year. So instead of heading to the room on the second floor to practice for potions she went to find Colin.
Ginny looked everywhere, finally she found him and turned right back around and left. There he was making out with Veronica, Veronica who had been the meanest to Ginny since word got out about her being in 7th year potions. There Colin was making out with her. Ginny was fuming. She was more than fuming she was straight filled with fire. Ginny expected more out of her best friend. Ex best friend now.
Not knowing what to do now Ginny wandered outside. She was just about to go sit in her favorite spot by the lake when she noticed Hagrid's light on in his hut.
"Hagrid can I come in?" Ginny yelled through the door as she knocked.
"Come in, come in." Hagrid said in his gruff voice.
"Here have some treacle pudding." Hagrid said as he sat her down in a chair.
"Thanks Hagrid." Ginny said looking at the treat warily.
"So how is your year going. I heard about your promotion to 7th year potions. I'm very proud of you." Hagrid said smiling at her.
"Yeah I did. It's going well." Ginny said taking a bite of the treacle pudding and was pleasantly surprised to find it edible. "Did you get this from the kitchens?"
"Yeah, the house elves just love to give people food." Hagrid said sheepishly. "How are the tutor sessions with Malfoy going? He isn't giving you a hard time is he?"
"No, actually I think we have reached a level of understanding. Who told you about those anyway?" Ginny asked suspiciously.
"Your brother was ranting and raving about it one day in Care of Magical Creatures. He about took Malfoy out." Hagrid said. "I'm glad to hear he is treating you nicely, but if he tries anything."
"I'll let you know." Ginny replied finishing up her pudding.
"It's getting dark, you should get back to the castle." Hagrid said looking out the window.
"I know, it was good seeing you Hagird. Bye." Ginny said as she left.
"Bye Ginny. Remember if he tries anything." Hagrid yelled at her retreating back.
Ginny slowly made her way up to the castle, trying to think of what to say to Colin when she saw him. She turned a corner and there he was.
"Hey Ginny, whats up?" Colin asked.
"I think it was your hand up Veronica's shirt." Ginny replied to him angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Colin asked trying to looked confused.
"Don't play dumb with me, I was trying to find you and guess what. I did. Veronica, why Veronica. Why not someone who doesn't talk badly about your best friend?" Ginny asked her anger turning to hurt.
"Ginny don't be mad at me, I didn't know it was that bad. You know you mean more to me than some girl. You're my best friend." Colin said grabbing her hand. "Listen if you want I'll talk to her and tell her to stop picking on you."
"You don't have to do that." Ginny said sadly.
"Ginny, I want to, no one has the right to pick on my best friend, even if I am shagging her." Colin said smiling.
"You are not!" Ginny said forgetting that she was sad. "Colin shame on you."
"What?" Colin asked playing innocent.
"If your mother knew she would kill you." Ginny said playfully slapping him.
"Oh but who's going to tell her? Certainly not my best friend, she wouldn't tell on my would she." Colin asked sweeping Ginny into a big hug.
"Oh you know I am not going to tell your mother." Ginny said poking him in the side.
"Good." Colin said taking her hand. "I have something to show you."
Colin dragged Ginny down the hall and into a small hall.
"Are you ready?" Colin asked Ginny.
"Yeah." Ginny said smiling.
"Close your eyes." Colin said covering her eyes with his hand.
Ginny heard a door open and Colin quickly started to pull her into the room.
"Open your eyes." Colin said moving his hand from her eyes.
Ginny opened her eyes. The room had pictures surrounding her. Pictures of her. Pictures of Hermione, Ron and Harry. Pictures of Colin and Hagrid. Even a picture of Draco.
"Colin what is this?" Ginny asked in awe.
"These are all the pictures of your friends. Colin said. "Look I even added your newest friend."
"Colin why did you do this?" Ginny asked still in awe.
"Oh come on you don't think I didn't notice you have been down lately. This room is here so it can cheer you up. You are surrounded by people who love you." Colin said smiling.
"Colin you are so awesome. How did you do this?"
"Well you know how much I like to take pictures so here they are. Pictures."
"But the room, how did you get a room for this?" Ginny asked.
You'd be amazed at what you can get when you are a prefect." Colin said smiling at her. "Do you like it?"
"Colin, I love it." Ginny said running to her best friend and giving him a big hug. "This is the best gift ever."
"I'm glad you like it. Now come on its almost curfew and I don't want to have to take points from you." Colin said pulling her out of the room. "When ever you want to get back in just walk up to this picture and say cheese. Got it?"
"Got it." Ginny replied letting her self get pulled out of the room and back to Gryffindor tower.

Draco had a bad time at Quidditch practice. He just couldn't concentrate. That and he was sad he didn't get to tutor Ginny. The latter though he wouldn't admit to himself. He had been battling with himself the past day over his feelings for the Weasley girl. He just didn't get how she could get him to actually let down his guard. There was just something about her. Geez he had to stop thinking about her. She's just a Weasley.
"She's just a Weasley." He said outloud to himself. He walked away from the quidditch pitch throughly exhausted and sweaty. He was just walking past a room on the third floor when he heard her voice.
He looked into the room and saw Ginny with Colin standing in a room filled with pictures.
"Colin what is this?" Ginny asked in awe.
"These are all the pictures of your friends. Colin said. "Look I even added your newest friend."
Draco looked at the picture he was pointing at and smiled to himself. It was a picture of him, a mighty good one in fact. But that wasn't why he was smiling. He was smiling because Ginny considered him a friend. He had never had a real friend. Goyle and Crabbe they weren't really friends they were just suck ups. But Ginny she was a real friend. He had a real friend.
As soon as he noticed he was smiling he stopped and quickly walked away from the room. "She's a Weasley." he said to himself once again. Hoping that if he said it enough times it would actually sink in.
