A/N: so our fave couple's going to the ball.
Just not with each other.
So what's going to happen? Well, this chappie is all about the
Hogwarts population acting all lovey- dovey, characters missing each
other and good old jealousy. Does it work though? Read and find out!
Oh, and just so you know, Ginny's heartless playgirl-ness appears in
this chappie. wink
Chapter 9
Sunday, September 21
Library
9 AM
My, aren't I the responsible student?
Spending Sunday morning studying, doing my homework and other
things related to that.
Oh my God... now will you look at that... Blaise and Pansy are on
their way here. Okay, I think that's my cue for hiding my diary.
9:20 AM
Oh. My. God.
I just can't believe what has just happened.
I refuse to believe it.
I bet they're just making it up so I would make a fool out of myself.
What happened?
Well, Pansy and Blaise came over to where I was sitting.
"Hey." Blaise grinned at me.
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought he was hitting on
me.
Pansy smacked his arm. "Blaise..." she said as warning. He rolled his
eyes and rubbed his arm.
"Weasley-"Pansy went.
"Ginny." I corrected her. She rolled her eyes.
"Ginny, would you tell us why you and Draco broke up?" They sat
down in front of me.
"What's the magic word?" I teased.
"Alohamora?" Blaise joked.
"Don't push it, Ginny. Now, will you tell us?"
"Why? Didn't he tell you guys about his evil master plan to 'break my
heart'-"I did little air marks, "By using me to make Athena jealous?"
"Well... yeah, he did but I don't think he went by his plan anymore."
Pansy answered seriously.
"And you're telling me this because...?" I cocked my brow at them.
"We don't want anyone to get hurt." Pansy replied. "Draco's our best
friend and he's been acting pretty strange around Athena lately.
Usually, every time they meet they get passed 3rd base... but now
he doesn't even-"
"Okay, okay. Way too much information. You don't need to tell me
about his...his... whatever... But why are you telling me this? What
he does with his...girlfriend-" I said disdainfully, "Is their business
not mine."
"I think it is. Why don't you try work things out with him?" Pansy
asked.
"And lose my pride? No thank you. And I do not steal other people's
boyfriends."
"I'm not anybody's boyfriend." Blaise grinned. Blaise really was hot.
He looked a LOT like Tom. It was as if he was... a younger version,
with crystal blue eyes instead of bottle green.
I smirked at him. "I'll get back to you. But aren't you going out with
Parvati?
"Only for the ball. We both agreed on that."
Good old fashioned flirting with Malfoy's best friend never hurt
anybody did it?
"Blaise!!!" Pansy gritted her teeth. He winked at me before he got
dragged off by Pansy.
"Remember... try to work things out." Pansy said firmly. I widened
my eyes, pursed my lips and nodded, just to get her to stop
bothering me.
See, if I did try to work things out, I'd lose my pride. (I wonder how
many times I've mentioned that here in this diary.)
Wow. Blaise is actually worth flirting with. I wonder if he's a good
kisser... Okay, why am I thinking of this?!
I'm dating Harry aren't I?
But only for the ball...
Okay, little voice inside my head... maybe I'll give Blaise a shot. If
Malfoy never loved me, it wouldn't hurt to date his best friend would
it?
Me and my marvelous brain.
1:30 PM
Here I still am, apparently "working" on my Divination homework.
Things that have occurred right after Pansy and Blaise's visit:
Parvati and Lavender dropping by around 10, offering to help me with
my divination. Don't worry; they've left already, saying I was
impossible.
Malfoy and his inseparable girlfriend coming right after I finished my
lunch and sitting a good 2 (empty) tables across from mine.
Harry arriving at about 12:30... He helped me with my History of
Magic for a while (after confessing that he sucked at Divination
too)... but then got the picture I was better than him in that
department, so I ended up helping him instead.
"So these runes are-"
"Ginny-"Harry cut me off. "I...I'm really happy you could go to the ball
with me." He stuttered.
"Well... yeah. I am too Harry." I replied bemusedly.
"Well...I just wanted to let you know." He looked flushed and
embarrassed.
"Well... that's really sweet of you." I shrugged and sent him a smile.
"Thanks Gin you're the best." Then he awkwardly leaned in and gave
me a peck on the cheek. Then he left.
Pecks on the cheek from Harry are fine with me. Snogging with him
would be just... disgusting. Like snogging my brother!!! Ewww... But
you know what really annoyed me?!
On the way out, Malfoy sneered at me, saying, "Weasley, it's really
unethical to snog in the library. But then, you don't really know much
about ethics do you?"
"Pardon me. I think you've mistaken me for someone who's
interested in what you have to say." I replied breezily.
Wow. Where did that come from?
"What do you care about who I chose to snog anyway, Malfoy?" I
continued. He glared at me.
"Slut." Athena-no Lestrange shot at me.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you talked to yourself Lestrange." I
answered, feigning innocence. She took a deep breath. "Why you-"
"Come on Athena." Malfoy suddenly commanded. Then they left.
Dorm
8 PM
I just can't stand staying in the corridors for more than 10 minutes. All the couples are whispering sweet nothings in their ear, groups of girls all giggly and all the rest of the couples acting all lovey-dovey. It isn't even Valentines! It's September!!! Balls really do have this strange effect on Hogwarts students.

History of Magic
9:15 AM
Why is it that I end up writing here during History of magic?
Because it's dead boring that's why.
Breakfast was... half fun half unbearable. It was fun flirting with
Blaise from across the hall. But it was SO not fun watching Athena
fawn over Malfoy. Why was Athena over at the Slytherin table? Well,
she apparently decided to be beside her boyfriend at every chance
she's got. She actually feeds him! Grrr...
Okay... why am I mad? They have a relationship anyway so... so they
can do whatever they want to with each other.
God who am I kidding? I miss the stupid ferret git.
Okay... so he' not a stupid ferret git. He's more like a... lying
arrogant devil's spawn... And even though I'd hate to admit it, he's a
hot lying arrogant devil's spawn. I'm jealous. That's what. And I'm
being heartless, a user even, using Harry or Blaise (even though he's
just a flirting partner) to cover up the space Malfoy left behind. I'm
being a user. Just like how Malfoy was. But then, I really do enjoy
staying with Harry. And I really do enjoy flirting with Blaise.
Ugh, what do I want???!!!
Okay... Blaise- funny, single, hot, nice, hot, smart, hot, single...
Harry- nice, heroic, cute, talented...
Malfoy- taken, "hot", smart, arrogant, fun, taken and hot...
I may be a "heartless playgirl" but... I do not steal other girl's
boyfriends. I'm not that heartless. And... oh yeah! Guess what? (I
know you're a diary and you definitely cannot guess... although I like
pretending you're a real person who can guess but whatever)
Hermione showed me her gown last night. I know I should do what
good friends do and be honest but I can NOT bring myself to admit
to her that her gown's hideous. It's all frilly and pink. Okay, so it's
sleeves are poofy pink and translucent white layers of... poofy fabric,
then a long, poofed up pink skirt which pretty much looks like it was
something inflated, covered in layers and layers of whipped cream.
That is seriously what the gown looked like. Then her matching shoes
were...okay. Pink stilettos covered in pin feathers. Faux of course,
everyone knows Herm would rather die then be caught wearing
something made out of an animal's skin. But then, she looked all
happy and glowy about her gown that I kinda... chickened out on the
'let's be honest with each other like friends really do' thing.
I suppose I can accidentally burn it while it's sitting on her bed and
I'm carrying a candle lit lamp and it accidentally falls on the gown
and it burns up and I can lend her this gown I was supposed to
wear... but then, the bed would burn up too wouldn't it?
I can't try to spill something on it because she can always clean it up
with magic.
This situation calls for reinforcements.
I'm calling in Lavender and Parvati.
Transfiguration
11:25 PM
Transfiguration with Slytherin.
I'm lucky McGonagall left us alone to work on our essays for a bit.
Since I am finished with my essay, here I am, writing once again.
Would you believe that the moment McGonagall left, Harry came over
to my seat to chat? He's just so charming and all. Malfoy on the
other hand was... glowering around at everyone. Especially at Harry
and I.
What's his problem? He and his precious little Athena probably had a
little fight. I knew this would happen.
I don't think Malfoy could last with one girl for a week.
Well... actually, I couldn't last with a guy for 3 days. They're all so
boring. So far, the only guys who haven't actually bored me to the
point of breaking up with them were Malfoy and Blaise (not that we
have a real relationship)...and we can't forget Harry.
Well... okay. Malfoy and I already did break up (if there was anything
to actually break) but that wasn't because he was boring. It was
because of that stupid 'I'm using the little Weasley to make Athena
jealous' thing. Sometimes I just hate Malfoy.
Okay... did I just say sometimes?
More like all the time.
Every time I see him in the librarywith his girlfriend when I study
during my free periods...
Every time he insults me about the people I date...
Every time I see him snogging his bloody girlfriend...
Every time he calms his bloody girlfriend down when we're in the
middle of a verbal war... which, ironically, he started...
That arrogant, obnoxious prick. He and Athena deserve each other,
seeing that they're both arrogant, obnoxious pricks...
Why would he like me anyway? Who would want to date the littlest
Weasley, Virginia?
Well, apparently, a lot of people do (haha) but why would he?
I don't know and I have no intention of finding out... at the moment.
Tuesday, September 23
Dorm
10 PM
I just cam NOT stand it.
Everyone's acting all mushy and lovey dovey and disgusting and
cuddly. Holding hands in the hallway, feeding each other, sending
chocolates and flowers and whatever they can think of sending...
I can NOT stand it!
And Lavender so annoyingly suggested earlier that maybe I was just
jealous, seeing I had nobody to do those lovey dovey acts with. I am
SO not jealous. I'm just...
a little bit...
resentful.
Wednesday, September 24
Dorm
10 PM
Ball countdown: 1 day, 19 hours and 30 minutes to go (yes, the ball
starts at 7:30); not counting the remaining hours of this day of
course.
See that?
And I still haven't sabotaged Hermione's gown. It's hideous I tell
you. On the higher note, Blaise is looking hotter than ever. And so is
Harry. On the lower note (if it could even be considered as a negative
thing), so is Malfoy. And he and that stupid Lestrange girl still have
it going on.
By 'it' I meant their relationship.
Wait... why should that bother me???
Hmmm... Oh, because I am still deliriously in love with Malfoy that's
what.
I hate myself.
---------------
A/N: Isn't it a short chap?Well... ummm... cheers to my magnificent reviewers! Lots of love to
you guys from me!
IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE! And I am feeling so INCREDIBLY
sad because... well... I have too little reviews.Sob would you tell
your friends to review me? Teehee... because, just to annoy you all, I
have a quota! It will take 40 reviews for me to post the next chapter! The ball!!! Hahahaha!!! So you just have to review, don't
you? I hope you do.
And please don't kill me for setting up this quota. Because, like I
said, reviews make me happy and being happy makes me update.
Okay, enough babbling.
Ciao! And remember to review!
Till next chapter,
Heart of chocolate (who knows everybody probably hates her for the
whole quota thing but still wants to set it up for more reviews and
for her reviewers to finally tell their friends/reviewers to review her
fic)
Now I'm going to mention my thanks to all my reviewers, including
those form the earlier chappies who I wasn't able to thank and
because I love each and everyone of them so much and also
because... I want them to review some more and bring millions more
reviews with them. hint, hint
still2lazy2loginagain (or your pen name or whatever)- sorry I wasn't
able to update right away. Awww... I'm evil and I feel guilty. But
congratulations! You by far must be my biggest fan! LoL... wink
akuweaselgirl- here, I've updated. You like?
Hoshii-chan- yeah, I wish I would get more reviews. Why don't you
tell your reviewers to review my fic? Yay!!! Haha... I'm real flattered!
Drusilla W. L. Tonks-Snape- wow, my newest friend here in ff.net!
Thanks for liking the POV of Draco although I think I really sucked at
it... school... is going to be hell. And it's eating up my time! Why did
I have to get a club that requires training after school? Why?! Well...
if you hate me for that, don't kill me because then, no one will
update this fic. Ha! evil grin
blood red stain- yeah, I like the way Ginny thinks too! grins and
you like it??? Awww... thanks.
morbiddragon- thanks loads!!!
starcutie- isn't it really sad and dramatic? Heehee... well, more
drama later!!!
padfootedmoony- yeah, maybe they were going to say they loved
each other. MAYBE. Aww... aren't I a laugh. Haha. And yes, I'm
excited about the ball as well. But I decided Ginny flirting with
Draco's best friend AND the fact that she and Harry are going to the
ball would make the story more... interesting. Haha.
Doyle'sangel-thanks for liking it. beams
Spinx Class of 2008- Yeah, he does seem jealous doesn't he? grins
slyly Poor, poor little Drakie-poo. Haha. Aww... ain't I evil? And I'm
glad you think it's good!
Kath- hey, I'm really happy you think this fic is good! Awww...
Aww... I haven't got a lot of reviews. Anyone who can help? Because
reviews make me happy and being happy keeps me writing my fic.
So, keep me happy will you? (Wow...how many times have I
mentioned this?)
OR I JUST MIGHT NOT UPDATE ANYMORE. which is sad cause... the
ball's going to be quite fun.
Aww... I'm so bad.
Remember the quota! Mwahahahahahaha!!!
40 reviews=next chappie! Okay, this is seriously ciao for now.
So, ciao!
