AN: I'm trying to update more. I should have Chapter 9 up on the 23.
Last time: "You know, Ginny, you're hopeless. And you know I'll find out sooner or later who 'me' is!" Tyra laughed.
"Once again. You. Are. Tyra."
Ginny woke the next morning confused, wondering if what happened last night had just been a dream, until she saw Draco's note, now crumpled in her hand. Maybe this is all a joke and he, Crabbe, and Goyle are laughing in their common room, Ginny thought wickedly, But then maybe it isn't and I'm blowing this all out of proportion. I don't know what to think! She got out of bed and changed into her robes, still pondering whether or not her going out with Draco was a joke. Heading down to breakfast, she ran into Hermione.
Sensing something new was going on, Hermione asked, "So, what's new?"
"Oh, nothing." Ginny replied, unable to hide her smile.
"Something is going on. Tell me" she said demandingly.
"Fine, yesterday, while I was in the library, Draco-"
"So he's Draco again?" "Yes, anyway he came up to me and took me to that old corner of the library..." Ginny told Hermione everything until, "...and then last night I- Ron! Where did you come from?" "I came from right behind you." "Er, for how long?" "Well, I'll just say from about when you started your story about Malfoy. How can you like him? You know how he hates the family!" "So? Ever think that maybe he just hates you?" "You know you are really useless. And you don't care that she's going out with him?" he asked Hermione. "Well, she is fifteen. She has a right to run her own life!" At this Hermione and Ginny walked off towards the Great Hall. "Why does he always have to try to run my life?" Ginny said, meaning it as rhetorical question, but she got an answer. "Because he's your brother and thinks he has to protect you." Draco said as he wrapped his arms around her, "But I promise I won't let him scare me off!" Picking up some toast, she and Draco left the Great Hall to walk around the lake. "Draco, why are you going out with me?" Ginny asked suddenly as the couple sat down on the bank of the lake. "Because you're beautiful, sweet, smart. You're just... perfect." He replied. "Not because I can help you get closer to your worst enemy?" "Why would I do such a thing?" "Because, well, you used to call me 'Weaselete' and you always acted like you hate my family." "I wouldn't do that to you." He said pulling her closer to him, "Come on the bell's about to ring!" he said jumping up so he could help Ginny up. Pulling her towards him, Draco and Ginny started walking toward the castle, looking like the perfect couple. As they got closer to the castle they began to wonder if they were late – nobody was outside except for them. Running into the Great Hall, they realized Dumbledore was making what looked like a very important speech. "...After a long delay, as of tomorrow, you will no longer be Hogwarts students. You will now be students of Sehr Gut School of Magic. We will be promoting international wizarding cooperation. I also beg of you not to forget the holiday balls" "I forgot about that." Ginny said quietly. "So will you go to the Holiday ball with me?" Draco asked, looking down on his beloved girlfriend. "Of course" Ginny said with a giggle, "What did you think I would say? No?" "No, but I was making it definite so you can't back-out the day of ball." Draco said with his usual smirk, showing the sarcasm Ginny didn't recognize at first. "...A few rules the Sehr Gut headmaster has asked me to tell you of about the balls. First, the balls are formal and muggle formal dress will be worn. Second, as we are a guest of Sehr Gut we will abide by their rules and I'm afraid to say they don't allow anyone under fifth year to attend the Christmas Eve ball, though you may attend all others. The houses you are sorted into now shall henceforth be disbanded. In short, you don't belong in a house-you belong to Sehr Gut not Gryffindor or Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw." At this, he looked directly at Ginny and Draco. Ginny, unable to hide her pleasure of Dumbledore's words, suddenly lit-up and skipped over to her table (trying to be silent about it). "Now you may head back to your dormitories to pack and spend your final night with your housemates." Draco headed over to Gyffindor table to walk Ginny back to her tower. "Oh my gosh, can you believe it! Now we aren't separated by the boundaries the separate houses created. We may even have the same dormitory when we get to Sehr Gut!" Ginny could not suppress her happiness. "Now I remember why I'm going out with you!" Draco said with a false look of surprise on his face. "Wha-why?" "Because of your perfect smile." He said leaning down to kiss her. As Ginny walked into the common, she was pounced on by Ron and Harry. "I thought you had broken-up with him?" Ron asked. "I had but we got back together." "I forbid you to go anywhere near him!" Ron yelled. "You can't control who I go out with!" She yelled back even louder causing the common room to become silent. "Yes I can and I am!" "No you can't and it's not like you can write Mum and tell her. Remember she was happy I was trying to 'reform' him." Ginny yelled walking up the stairwell to her room.
Ginny kept dreaming of dancing with Draco all night long. Quickly dressing in the morning, she got her trunk packed and headed down to breakfast to meet Draco before their long train-ride to Germany. Getting on the train, they shared a compartment with none other than Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They did not oppose to having Draco in their compartment, probably because they could keep an eye on them if they where there instead of some other compartment. Ginny, tired from a slight lack of sleep, laid her head on Draco's shoulder and fell asleep almost instantly. Draco smiled down at her and then tried to talk to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "Er... well, what do you think of this going to Germany thing?" "I think it's kind of cool. I mean studying magic in a foreign country. I love it!" Hermione said excitedly. "Whatever." Ron grunted. "I guess it is a little cool." Harry said. "So, you don't hate me enough not to talk to me!" Draco gasped acting surprised. "Well, since we aren't supposed to be in separate houses now I guess these can go." Hermione said blasting the house patches one-by-one off of everybody's robes, "And I believe in giving people second chances, even you. Right, guys?" "Yea, I guess." Harry replied. "Fine. But I swear I will kill you if you do anything to my sister." Ron said through gritted teeth. "Thank you!" Ginny sighed. "How long have you been listening?" Ron asked. "Oh, since I laid my head down. Please don't tell me you don't know me well enough to know I can't sleep in a moving vehicle....train...thing." Ginny laughed. "I knew that, I was testing Mal-fine!-Draco to see how well he knew you." "Whatever you say, Ron." The rest of day the group played Exploding Snap and talked about which classes they liked best. At nightfall Ginny and Hermione decided to go to sleep. Hermione laid her head on Harry's shoulder using his robes as a blanket, and Ginny tried to sleep on Draco's shoulder using a blanket Draco had brought along, but couldn't succeed. So she ended up just becoming extremely tired while listening to the guys talk. But when Draco draped his arm around Ginny, there was an uproar that woke Hermione up. Ron was screaming at Draco, and Ginny was screaming back at him. This continued until Professor McGonagall stormed into their compartment and told them they would be expelled if it didn't become quiet in that compartment. She then told them who would be sharing what dormitory. "Now Dormitory 4 will contain Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor Sixth Years and Gryffindor Fifth Years." She said with a twinkle in her eye, "I just couldn't bring myself to separate family. With a smile in Ginny and Draco's direction, she left their compartment and headed towards the front of the train as the train started to come to a stop.
A.N. sorry it's so short but my goal for the next chapter is at least 2,000 words. I hope I succeed!! Please just press the little purple button to review. Push it, you know you want to!!
