Hey guys sorry I haven't updated. Ugh I've been getting a major workload but I felt bad not updating for so long so yea well. Okay lets see here goes nothing guys I hope you enjoy it because I'm a little worried what I'm going to come up with right about now!

Ginny Weasley woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and a cheerful melody drifting in from the open window (yea right now the actually version)

Ginny Weasley woke up to Georgia blasting Breaking Benjamin and jumping up and down on Ginny's bed because it was almost 7. At first, Ginny thought she was going to be late to class, but then she realized it's a Saturday.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP AT 6:45 ON A SATURDAY MORNING?!?!" screamed Ginny

"BECAUSE TODAY IS HALLOWEEN AND THE BALL!!!" Georgia screamed right back.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP SHOUTING I'M TRYING TO DO MY HAIR OVER HERE!!" Arwen yelled over both of them. Arwen was always stressed the day of a ball.

"Geez, Arwen you don't have to be so mean about it," Ginny said with a smile on her face.

Ginny never needed the whole day to get ready for a dance like her other two friends so she decided to head down to the kitchens to get something to eat.

"Chow guys," Ginny said, "I'm off to get some grub."

Her two friends glared at her back as she carelessly drifted down the stairs. 'Damn Ginny for not stressing about the ball,' they both thought as they continued to play with the hair dryer and curling iron.

Meanwhile…. (Draco's POV)

Draco cursed as his latest dress robe skidded across the newly polished hardwood floors of his dorm.

"I have NOTHING to wear to tonight's Halloween ball!" (Yes guys can stress too) "I just need to get away from this and maybe head down to Madam Malkin's later but for now I'm starving. I want food."

So without a second thought Draco started to head down to the Great Hall with his black robes billowing out behind him. Just then he stopped, "Why bother with people I think I'd rather have a more private breakfast." So he turned his foot around and headed to the giant green pear portrait where the secret entrance to the kitchens was held.

Draco silently tickled the pear and as it giggled a golden doorknob appeared. The shining white light of the kitchen was exposed as Draco slowly stepped onto the linoleum tiles, where little house elves immediately surrounding him asking what he would desire.

"Some bacon and scrambled eggs please and a side of buttered toast if you wouldn't mind," he asked. In his heart, Draco had always loved to see their little eyes light up when you asked politely. When Dobby had been their house elf it always hurt Draco to see his father hit Dobby, but he if were to say something his father would consider his only son more of a weakling then he thought Draco already was.

He scanned the bright kitchen full of little house elves to see a pair of chocolate eyes gazing at him belonging to a particularly special redhead. When he saw her, his stomach just jittered, but he did the best he could to never let it show. He had gone to his dorm the night he made her cry thinking why had he done it. Her tear stained face had haunted his dreams that night.

(Ginny's POV)

Her head full of auburn curls suddenly whipped around when she heard the door squeak open to the kitchens. Her sudden gaze met that of a bright blond head of hair that reflected the lights of the kitchen itself. Her eyes gazed up and down his rock hard body making her get the jittery stomach feeling that she used to have with Harry Potter.

'Wow that's weird,' she thought, ' It's Draco Malfoy I'm feeling this for. This can't be happening. I can't like Draco Malfoy'

Finally her eyes wondered back up to his face when he had already spotted her looking him up and down.

"Like what you see Virginia?" he replied casually to her exploring stare. Ginny turned a slight shade of pink as she shyly said hello. After a few moments of trying to recollect herself, Ginny's bold nature was back.

"Come on don't stand around come sit with me Draco, besides I need to talk to you about something anyway." Ginny said.

"Okay," Draco replied as he slowly glided himself over to the seat across from where Ginny was eating. After just sitting quietly for a few minutes, the house elves gave Draco a plate loaded with eggs, bacon, and mounds upon mounds of toast all buttered to perfection.

Small chatter finally overtook the table, which consistently included teachers, classmates, and the ball that night.

" So are you going with anyone?" Draco slyly inquired to Ginny. Ginny responded knowing all to well what Draco wanted to hear, but unfortunately she could not give him the answer he was seeking.

" I am actually I just don't know who," she answered.

"How does that work out? How do you not know who you're going with? Is a blind date or something?" Draco responded, curious.

" Well," Ginny paused, not knowing how to explain this, " It's kind of like that. It's a secret admirer that asked me in a letter."

"O, umm that's interesting." Draco replied, trying to sound cheerful. In all honesty Draco had really wanted to ask Ginny to the dance, but he thought they were only friends to her.

His disappointment didn't go unnoticed by Ginny's watchful eye and she wondered why Draco was so put out by the fact she was going with a secret admirer. 'Is it possible that he likes me back?' she thought suddenly, but quickly dismissed the idea of a Malfoy liking herself, a Weasley. With this final thought Ginny became a little upset and looked down onto her empty dish.

"What's the matter Ginny?" Draco asked really concerned on what was happening to the person he loved.

"Nothing." Ginny replied, still a little upset. Looking at the time, Ginny realized her little breakfast break was slowly turning into that of a dinner one.

"Oh My God, I've been here the whole day I need to get ready!!" Ginny exclaimed springing out of her seat.

"I have to go, I have to get ready, I look horrible!" Ginny was just mumbling on and the poor Draco only was hearing small bits of the disheveled girl's rants.

She finally turned to Draco and a small smile appeared on her face. "I'll see you later at the ball." Ginny said in a small quiet tone.

"Yea definitely, maybe you could save me a dance from your secret admirer?"

"I don't think it could hurt and it would only be as friends right?' Ginny said

"Yea only as friends," Draco agreed, but in his heart in pained him to say that. Of course, unknown to Draco him agreeing the friends only was killing Ginny. So without another word Draco was left standing in the middle of a bright but lonely kitchen.
