I don't own Harry Potter or his pot head friends. I do own the playstation game, man that game sucks. I hate flying!

Chapter 13: Dr. Suess and Roses

It had been a week since Pansy had asked Draco about colors and Pansy still hadn't stopped talking about the ball, she went and bought the perfect dress and mask. Then she tried to drag Draco shopping to get him something. Draco just pushed her out of his room and shut the door. He sunk down to the floor and sighed.

"She is such a hassle he said to himself. "What was I thinking I when I told her I would go to the ball with her?"

Draco sighed as he looked around his room. He needed something to distract himself from reality. Anything that would help the day go by faster. Finding nothing in his room he got up and left. He was wondering through the corridors trying to avoid running into Pansy but he just had to get out. He left the castle and started walking around outside. He looked over at the Forbidden Forest.

"I use to be so scared of that place." Draco laughed to himself.

"Word is you still are." Ginny said from the ground.

Draco jumped a little, he hadn't noticed her. Ginny was sitting on the ground leaning against a tree covered in shadow.

"What are you doing here Weasley?" Draco asked glaring at her.

"What's it to you?" Ginny asked back, just as rudely.

"Nothing, it's nothing to me." Draco replied his voice lined with spite.

"Good, then go away." Ginny said turning her head to look at the lake.

"You spoke to me first." Draco replied back to her.

"True, I did." Ginny said getting up and brushing herself off. "Foolishly I thought that the stick up your,"

Ginny stopped there. She wasn't going to lose her cool to Draco. She snapped her mouth shut and turned away from him.

"Dobby told me that you weren't really a bad guy." Ginny said after a minute. "I guess he was wrong."

Ginny turned around and walked back up to the castle, leaving Draco to just stand there. She was tired to his mood swings, he was worse than a girl. Ginny decided to go back up to her room so she could just rest and think. When she got there she noticed another box, smaller than the last but it looked the same none the less.

Just like before there was a card.

Friday is the day of out date.

If you come that would be great.

Let me know if you will.

Leave this note on your window sill.

You're Admirer

Ginny smiled at the card. It reminded her of when she was little and her father would read muggle books to her by this guy named Dr. Suess.

Ginny set the card aside, having not yet decided whether she wanted to go to the ball with a stranger or not. She opened up the box and gasped. Inside were the most beautiful glass shoes, Ginny was reminded of another muggle story, Cinderellla. Beside the shoes was an emerald necklace. Ginny sighed, she was going to the dance. She couldn't not anymore. Not after someone went through all the trouble. She grabbed the card and set it on her windowsill.

Ginny put the lid back on the box and gently put the box in her trunk. Then she turned around and left her room. She ran downstairs to the common room looking for Hermione.

"Hermione come here!" Ginny called to her from across the room.

Hermione gave her a look, she was in the middle of homework and hated to be disturbed. After a sigh Hermione put down her books and came to see what Ginny wanted.

"Ginny I'm in the middle of homework. What do you need?" Hermione asked crossly.

"I was just wondering if you had seen anyone enter the 6th years girls dormitory." Ginny asked.

"No I haven't why are you missing something?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"No I was just curious." Ginny replied quickly turning around and running back to her room.

When she got up to her room she noticed that the card was gone from her windowsill and in it's place was a rose. She picked up the rose, sniffed it and put it back down.
