My next installment in the story, still as short as ever, but I just wanted to get it out there. I am actually trying to think of an end to this. Not so quickly, but I realized as I wrote this chapter that I have no clue what the end is going to be. Hm...Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys and I want to thank everyone who reviewed, and I hope that more people than that are reading, but just too shy to review. Don't be shy, my friends! I love every single one of you, and would appreciate greatly all of your words! ::Smiles a very cheesy smile with a peasant dress on and a flowery halo looking thing on her head:: Eh, anyway, hope ya like!

Ginny, now much more awake and hyper again, was lying on Draco's four post bed again.
"I still don't know why you had to stay with me." Draco was pouting on a desk chair.
"I don't care why I had to be here. I didn't have to go to class, or eat with my brother and Hermione sticking their tongues down each others throats. I didn't have to suffer by sitting next to Harry while all those other guys were staring at me. I hate always having my brother pushing Harry on me. It gets so irritating!" Ginny ranted. "You know, your bed is so much more comfortable than mine is. I think I'll stay in here more often."
Draco's eyes got round. "Weasley, you will not! This is my room, and we, no matter how 'friendly' you have tried to get, will never be friends!"
"So? I know the password. No big." Ginny giggled a bit. Then remembered her thoughts in the bathroom. Could Draco be gay? He turned her down, then told her he didn't want her in his room at all, he had never had a girlfriend at Hogwarts, and he did have an awful lot of beauty products. "Draco? Can I ask you something?" Ginny started, a little nervous at asking this.
"What, Weasley?" He sounded frustrated.
"Are you gay?" Ginny looked at him with such a straight face that he couldn't help but laugh. "What? It's an innocent question. I have reason to believe that you very well could be!"
"Why, because I wouldn't screw you in my bathroom? Weasley, you are a source for entertainment if I ever saw one!" He continued to laugh for a few minutes, then as he calmed, he began to explain. "I happen to believe that sex is a very serious subject. I'm not a virgin, mind you, but I haven't had very many partners. I happen to believe that sex is something you should save for an actual relationship, not just a quick fuck after you flirt a bit."
"Oh. That's surprisingly...respectful." Ginny looked down at the bedspread, now very embarrassed.
"Don't worry, Weasley. My best friend is gay, so it doesn't bother me."
"Your best friend? But wait! Isn't that Blaise?" Ginny looked at Draco, eyes filled with shock.
"Yes, and?" Draco challenged.
"He's just the second most wanted student at Hogwarts! And he's gay?! WOW! Wait til I tell Colin!" Ginny cried out.
"Wait, camera boy? Is he..." Draco asked.
"He's a cheerleader, who doesn't look up the girls skirts when he's spotting them. What do you think?"
"Ah, yes, obvious." Draco laughed. Ginny giggled with him for a moment, then stopped.
"You know, you really have a beautiful laugh," she said when they were both silent. Draco stared at her for a moment. "Sorry," she smiled, "but you do."
"Why are you apologizing?" Draco asked.
"It was an uncomfortable silence, and I made it that way. I felt the need to apologize for that."
"I was thinking, so possibly it was I and not you that made it uncomfortable. So I'm sorry," Draco replied.
"You're apologizing? We have spent too much time together. You're changing before my very eyes." Ginny began laughing again. Draco just smiled.
"I am, aren't I? Well, since you've asked me something, can I ask you something?" Draco stood up, moved to the bed, and laid at the foot of it.
"You just did," Ginny stated.
"Smartass. Anyway, it's only fair."
"Yes, I know, go ahead, ask away." Ginny leaned back on Draco's silk covered feather pillows.
"Okay, why do you dress this way?" Draco asked.
"What way?" Ginny looked up, surprised. No one had ever mentioned her attire, except to say that she looked hot.
"So seductive, like you want all of the attention. You know what people say, don't you?" Draco moved to lie next to her.
"I don't pay attention. I worked so hard to get Ron off of my back, that I got tired of defending myself. But I like to dress this way. I like to have the guys attention." Ginny shrugged. "It's fun to be looked at. I love it."
"But you get all the looks when your just in your robes and have your hair put up, too. A lot of the girls are jealous. For one, Pansy. She has a plan for your murder."
Ginny began to laugh. "She has a plan for my murder? Oh, she'll really flip out when she realizes I spent all day in your room, and was in your bed with you, won't she?"
"Oh, Merlin! Remind me to make sure your not around her unarmed for the next few days." Draco replied.
"So, you're going to protect me?" Ginny asked, looking at him. She realized at that moment how close in proximity they truly were. He was just inches away from her face, and looking into her eyes.
"I don't know why, but I want to protect you from everything right now." They stared into each others eyes for another minute before their lips touched, just enough for the electricity to shoot through their bodies.
A knock came at the door. They pulled away from each other, and Draco opened the door. Narcissa Malfoy walked in.
"Draco. Who is this we have here?" she asked in her formality.
"Mother, this is Virginia Weasley. The owl dropped the letter in the floor of the owlery, and Virginia found it. She got it to me immediately, but had read it to find out who it belonged to." Draco had turned into a carbon copy of her. The rigid, icy stares they were giving each other, the straight posture, and the formality of their speech. It was almost uncanny, Ginny thought as she sat there.
"Virginia." Narcissa acknowledged her.
"Mrs. Malfoy." Ginny replied with a smile. "Um...I think I'll go find out what assignments I missed today. I'll probably be sent back here later." Ginny stood and left gracefully as possible, trying not to squeal or run.
"She looks very nice, Draco." His mother smiled. Draco was shocked. His mother never smiled, nor complimented anyone.
"She's only here because Dumbledor didn't want her to spill her guts to everyone until I talked to you. I'm loyal to Pansy."
"Draco, honey, please sit down. We need to talk."

Ginny immediately went to find Colin. She rushed straight to the Quidditch field where she knew he would be practicing. As soon as she arrived, practice broke up.
"Ginny! I've been so worried! We've all been so worried!" He gestured to the entire group that had formed. "You didn't show up for any of your classes, and you weren't at dinner! What happened?" Colin cried as she walked across the pitch.
"Oh, I can't tell you why I've been missing. All I can tell you is that I've been in Draco Malfoy's room all day." Colin's jaw dropped open.
"Did you kill him?" he questioned. "You know I'll help you hide the body, but I need to know what happened."
Ginny laughed. "No, Colin, I didn't kill him. We talked, I took a bath, we ate. I fell asleep in his bed for a while. I've decided that I'm taking over his room. It's so comfortable. And green. Have I ever mentioned how much I love the color green?"
"Okay, I'm not understanding. You spent all day in a room with Malfoy and didn't kill him?" Colin shook his head. "No, don't believe it. You've already hid the body without me. That's why you don't want to tell me."
"No, Colin! I didn't kill him! Oh, but he told me something you really want to know!" Ginny squealed. "I get to play matchmaker!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Blaise! And you, of course!" Ginny squealed a little more, not just about the concept of Blaise and Colin, but about the reality of what happened before she and Draco had been interrupted.
"You're talking crazy! Blaise was voted the second most wanted bachelor at Hogwarts. There's not a chance that he'll turn out to be even bi, let alone gay!" Colin replied.
"That's not what his best friend said," Ginny laughed. "Come on, Col! Let's go up to your dorm. We have a lot to talk about." Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the castle.
___________
"Oh, my Merlin!" Colin cried out. "He...You? Kissed?"
"Not deeply. Just a touch of the lips. Nothing huge. We didn't make out in his room or anything."
"But you, Virginia WEASLEY, kissed him, Draco MALFOY?!" Colin's voice was only a little lower than a scream.
"Sh! Colin! Do you want to be the one that Ron hears saying that?" Ginny asked. Colin shut his mouth. "Now, back to the Blaise thing. I've not got it planned yet, but you and he will be together before the end of this week."
"Ginny, I don't know if that's such a good idea. Blaise is..." Colin started before a house elf hobble in. Colin looked at the elf. "May we help you?"
"Headmaster has requested Miz Weezy back in his office." The elf cowered at the door.
"Oh, Colin. I'll be back later. Not a word to anyone. If Ron asks, I've been working on a potions project all day and I don't know when I'll be done." Ginny grabbed her hoodie (she had changed clothes again) and ran out the door.
