Disclaimer: I only own the plot and anything else that is unfamiliar. (Unless you've never read the Harry Potter books cuz then it would all be unfamiliar, lol, okay, idiotic moment is over.)

AN: Hehe, my dad is, yet again, gone long enough for me to type. It figures that I'd get a chance now that ff.net is down. But no matter, I shall upload it this ASAP.

~ What to Do ~

"Ginny!" Someone was yelling, "Wake up or you'll be late to breakfast!"

"Huh? What?" Ginny yawned sitting up. She had laid awake most of the night thinking about Malfoy and sorting through her feelings. What she had decided was that she liked the Malfoy she knew through letters, but hated the one that tormented her everyday. Amazing how he can be two completely different people at once.

"Ginny!" Chloe squealed, "Did you sleep in your robes?"

Ginny looked down at her rumpled robes. "Um, yeah, I guess I did," she said sheepishly.

"What's going on with you, girl?" Amber asked as she plaited her own hair.

"What do you mean" Ginny asked confused as she rolled out of bed, "Nothing's going on with me."

"Right, so that explains why you were mumbling Malfoy's name all night."

"What?!" Ginny yelped. Surely Amber was making this up. Ginny never talked in her sleep.

"You heard me," Amber said.

"Face it, Gin," Chloe said grinning, "You've been caught. So spill."

Ginny looked between her two best friends and pondered her options. She really did need to share this with somebody and these two were the most likely to keep it a secret.

"Okay," Ginny said slowly, "but you have to swear on your wands that you won't tell a soul."

"We swear," the two girls said in unison grabbing their wands. By the looks on their faces she could tell they hadn't expected her to give in so easily.

Ginny licked her lips nervously and glanced around the room to make sure they were alone. Climbing on her bed she motioned for Amber and Chloe to join her. As soon as the three were situated on the bed with their heads close together Ginny quietly told them the whole story in detail.

"Ginny," Chloe breathed when she had finished, "that is so romantic!"

Amber glanced at Chloe in disbelief. "Romantic?! Girl, are you sick?" she put a hand on Chloe's forehead, "This is Malfoy we're talking about. You remember? Slimy tattle-tell git who picks on Ginny as much as possible?"

"Yeah, yeah," Chloe said dreamily, "It's a hate turned to love thing. That's why it's so romantic."

Amber rolled her eyes and Ginny remained silent. She was rather enjoying listening to her friends debate. Maybe hearing their opinions would help her decide what to do.

"Chloe!" Amber said shaking her by the shoulders, "think about what you're saying! Do you really want Ginny to end up with a snobby, future death eater pureblood?"

"Actually, Draco doesn't want to be a death eater although his father keeps pressuring," Ginny interjected quietly. She had quickly surmised what he had meant by "family business" after realizing who D was.

"And you believed him?" Amber exclaimed, "Gin, he's a Malfoy. Malfoys will do anything to suit their needs. That includes lying."

Ginny shook her head, "But I know he was telling the truth," She insisted, "I have a feeling he never lied to me. At least, not when he didn't know I was Ginny."

Amber shrugged. "Kay, whatever," she said, "you know him better than I do." She turned back to Chloe. "But really Chloe!" she began but Ginny interrupted her. She had just realized what time it was.

"Um, guys?" she said, "breakfast ends in five minutes." Both girls immediately stopped talking and jumped off the bed. As the three hurried down the stairs Ginny looked at Chloe and Amber.

"So what do you guys think I should do? Talk to him? Ignore him? Write him? What?"

"Well," Chloe began as they climbed through the portrait hole. "How do you feel about him?"

Ginny sighed. "I love him and I hate him," she said with a defeated shrug. "If that makes any sense."

"Yeah, it does," Chloe reassured her. "But don't write him, I mean, it's kind of pointless seeing as you both live in the same castle. You should tell him what ever you have to say in person. Gryffindors are known for their bravery, after all."

"Hmm," Amber said deep in thought, "Afraid I can't really help you. Sorry."

"Help you with what?" a voice asked them from behind. Ginny gulped as she recognized the voice.

"Nothing Dr . . . Malfoy," Ginny said keeping her back to him.

"Well obviously something's wrong," he replied coldly. "But I suppose I can't expect you to tell me." Ginny felt herself relax as she heard him walking away.

"Wow, Gin," Chloe said, "I think that's the most civil conversation you two have ever had."

"Yeah, it was," Ginny said. And that's what scares me. If Draco's being even slightly civil it most likely means he's hoping for a relationship. And I don't know if I want one with him.

* * *

Draco muttered angrily to himself as he walked to class. Judging by Ginny's reaction to him he surmised that she must have made the connection that he was D. And she obviously wasn't happy about it. Of course, he really shouldn't have expected more than that. This is what I get for opening myself up to someone! Not only does she reject me upon learning my name, but if my father ever finds out he'll have my head for sure. It's bad enough I already told him I'll never be a death eater.

Draco flung open the door to the potions class room with such force that it hit the wall causing the loud bang to echo through the dungeons.

"Mr. Malfoy," Snape said quietly, "please try to not break my door."

Draco nodded his head at the professor as he hurriedly sat down.

"If I had done that Snape would have taken points and given me a detention," Draco heard Harry mutter bitterly.  However, the remark did little to better Draco's mood as it would have done any other day.

Potions, for Draco, was very different than it had been a week before. He didn't laugh when Neville's potion exploded in his face. He messed up on his potion so horribly that Snape felt obligated to reluctantly take points from Slytherin.  And on top of it all, he had Harry and Ron snickering and gloating over the entire fiasco.

"Not your day, is it Malfoy," Ron said with a smirk that matched his own.

"Shove off Weasley," Draco growled as he cleaned up the potion that had spilled onto his desk.

"What, no biting remarks today?" Ron continued. Draco sighed. This boy didn't know when to shut up.

"I said shove off Weasley," Draco repeated, "Or are your ears so plugged up with that hideous hair of yours that you can't hear correctly? No, wait, I know! Your pauper's brain is incapable of comprehending what I'm saying."

"Eat slugs Malfoy," Ron said his face turning red.

"Careful," Draco said finally looking at Ron, "remember what happened the last time you said that to me?"

Ron's mouth began to move rapidly, however, no sound came out. Finally, the redheaded idiot turned on his heel and returned to his precious Hermione. Draco sighed as he returned to cleaning. He wondered what Ron would have said if he had told him that he had feelings for Ginny.

* * *

Ginny sighed as she rested her head in her hand. She was in History of Magic and bored to death, as usual. At the moment she was trying very hard to keep her mind off Draco while doodling on a piece of parchment. Ginny let out a small yelp as something hit her in the head. Several of her classmates turned to see what had happened but Professor Binns continued to drone on about the 1832 law that banned vampires from drinking human blood, or something to that effect. Bending over she quickly picked up the offending parchment and unfolded it.

Decided what you're going to do yet? Chloe's handwriting read. Ginny quickly scribbled back a reply.

Nope, still as confused as I was this morning. Although I think I'll take your advice and not write him again. I should talk to him in person if I talk to him at all. Ginny refolded the letter and used the banishing charm to send it at Chloe's head. She grinned as her friend jumped in surprise. Ginny kept an eye on Chloe as her friend scribbled a reply. She didn't feel like getting hit in the head a second time. Soon the parchment was being hurtled in Ginny's direction.

I think you should talk to him. Work it all out, you know? Write him and tell him to meet you some place where you two will have a bit of privacy. There you can decide if you want to remain enemies or whatever. Ginny shook her head. Was Chloe really suggesting she give Draco a chance?

I think you're insane. Ginny refolded the letter and once again sent it at Chloe's head. The girl does need some sense knocked into her, Ginny rationalized. She glanced down at the parchment she had been doodling on and gasped. She had written Draco's name all over it with little hearts. Maybe I'm the one who's insane.

* * *

Ginny picked up the parchment and reread the note she had just written.

Draco,

I need to talk to you. Meet me at the quidditch pitch after dinner. Bring your broom.

Ginny

            She nodded her head in satisfaction. It was short and to the point. Exactly how she had wanted it to be. She hurried up to the owlery where she gave the note to Clex. Hopefully Draco would get it before it was too late.

* * *

            Draco was eating dinner when Ginny's owl dropped the note into his pumpkin juice. He shook his head in disgust. Why did his letters always end up wet? Quickly he rescued the parchment before it became completely submerged. Reading through it, a smile crossed his lips. Maybe she'd give him a chance after all! Looking up he saw Ginny watching him. When she realized he was looking at her she turned to Ron and muttered something. Draco watched as she rose from the table and gave him a fleeting look before exiting the great hall. He waited for a few minutes before following after her. After grabbing his broom from his dormitory he raced to the pitch hoping he hadn't kept her waiting too long.

            When Draco reached the pitch he found Ginny standing in the center holding the Firebolt he had given her. Without a word she mounted her broom and motioned for him to do the same. Draco did so and she took off. As he followed her he wondered where she was taking him. It wasn't until they were level with the roof that he realized what was going on.

* * *

            Ginny had never been so relieved and so anxious as she had been when Draco had come out of the castle with his broom over his shoulder. As soon as he had reached her she had found herself at a loss for words and had only been able to motion for him to follow her. She had chosen the roof because it almost guaranteed privacy. She didn't know how many people would think to go up there.

            "So," Draco said the minute they had landed, "what did you need to talk about?"

            Ginny rolled her eyes. The boy certainly didn't waste time. "You know why I asked you here," she said looking defiantly into his eyes.

            "Yes, I do know," he said slowly, "which is why I'm curious as to what you want to do about it."

            Ginny shrugged. "I honestly don't know. I was hoping you could help me out with that."

            Draco raised an eyebrow. "You mean you actually want to hear my opinion?"

            Ginny hesitated before nodding. She did want to know, she just wasn't sure she was going to like it.

            "I've had more time to get used to the idea of you being the girl I fell for than you have had in getting use to the fact that you fell for me," Draco began. Ginny was shocked to see that he actually looked rather nervous, "I figured out who you were the night I saw you on that Firebolt," he motioned toward her broom which she held over her shoulder. "I've thought about it and decided that I want to do something about these feelings I have for you," he said slowly looking her in the eyes. Ginny's breath caught when she saw the pleading in his eyes. She didn't think she'd ever seen Draco look so vulnerable. "I want to date you," he finished. "That is if you want the same," he added hastily.

            Ginny gulped and looked at her feet. "Well," she said running a hand through her hair, "I don't know if I want the same, Draco."  She held her breath as she waited for his response.

            Draco didn't say anything, however. They remained silent for a few minutes and then Draco did something Ginny had not been expecting. He bent down and softly touched her lips with his. Ginny felt warmth spread throughout her body from the gentle kiss. It ended all too soon for her liking and when she finally opened her eyes Draco had already mounted his broom and was taking off. She stood there with her mind in a fog as she watched him fly back to the ground. Only one thought stood out in her mind. Draco Malfoy had kissed her. And she had liked it.

AN: Well, there you have it folks! Their first kiss. *sniff* Aw, so sweet. Even if Draco was doing it in hopes that it would sway her decision in his favor, lol. REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

Now for the thank yous (hooray!) Sorry if I miss anyone:

Heena: Thanks for the review, and for interpreting piccobello

Rockelle: I'm sorry about the cliffhangers, but I just felt that was the best place to end it. Plus, they do help to keep interest. But this chapter wasn't really a cliffy (was it?)

 Furnikle: Well, I'm glad you like it. I know what you mean though. Sometimes I start reading a fic wondering what to expect.

Dudet: Yeah, I was rather fond of Hermione's impulsive moment when she kissed
Ron. Thanks for the review.

Washi: Thanks for the review. I really do hope it gets better from here on out.

Silver Essence: Hmm, well I think I'll steer clear of that story, at least until I finish mine. I don't want to run the risk of stealing ideas off of it.

Gryffindor Sweetheart: What can I say, your begging got to me, lol. I'm glad you are so excited over my couples.

Writing *_* Wonder: Yeah, I hope the internet bill gets paid soon too. Thanks for reviewing!

Detrix: Harry? Well, I'm actually not going to deal with Harry too much. All I can really say is that his love life is nill at the moment and he's dealing with Lord Voldemort although I have no ideas for that so I won't be saying much on the subject. Thanks for reviewing.

Red Phoenix Ashes: I am so sorry I missed you in my last thank you! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for your reviews!

Noddy: Thanks for reviewing. It's not really that gin's slow, but Draco's not as open as she is and she fewer clues. Plus, she wasn't expecting it to be Draco.

Milkyweed: Hehe, yeah I loved Ron and Mione's kiss too. Talk about unexpected.

hpdancer92: Thanks for reviewing

Vie: You should feel so very, very special that you get thank yous in bold. It's only cuz you help me when I have trouble putting sentences together, savvy? Lol, thanks for reviewing (and everyone read her stories!) And for offering to type my chapters there still may be a time when I have to take you up on that offer.

mmn673: Heh, thank goodness you didn't have to update for me, lol. Anyways, thanks for reviewing.

Angelena H. Granger: Well, I don't do outlines cuz I usually don't stick to them. It becomes tedious for me. But I s'pose it works for some ppl. Yeah, I have AIM but it's on my other computer (the one that, at the moment, is without internet) so I don't know when I'll be back on it.

Anyanka: I actually didn't get the idea from that movie. In fact, I didn't even realize the similarities until one of my reviewers pointed it out and then I was like: Oh, yeah, it is kind of like that movie, isn't it. Anyways, thanks for the review.

dragonsprincess: *shudders* please don't hurt me! I honestly updated as soon as I was able considering I have to use my dad's computer.

Silver Star: I think I let Draco keep his pride long enough, lol. Heh, well thanks for reviewing.

Bluegirl18: I'm glad you aren't going to go ballistic with the fact that there won't be more letters, lol. Sorry, I know I've been evil with the cliffys. I'll try to stop, promise.

YouALoserSoAmI: Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's Irish. And I loved that line too! Yes, Lucy as evil is very good, hehe. As for snogging, don't worry it's coming, eventually, lol.

LilRedheadGinny: Yay! I left someone speechless! Lol, and as for Draco becoming an auror, he didn't mean it. He was just being difficult and trying to get a rise out of Lucy (which he succeeded in doing).

Kryptonite: No, Dumbledore doesn't realize there was a mistake. Not yet anyway. He just paired the students and left them on their own. He won't get involved with quill pals unless someone comes to him with a complaint. And I don't know if he'll talk to anyone about his change of heart. Besides Ginny, obviously. Thanks for reviewing.

Onyx and S: Thanks for reviewing you two. (Are there two ppl writing your reviews or is it one person having a bit of fun?) I'm glad to see that S is so excited.

Margot Antoinette: Sorry it took so long to update. But look at it this way: you have something to read when you get back! As for adding stuff in about Voldy and the dream team and all that. I honestly would if I had any ideas for that area. But I'm afraid I used my only idea in my other fic. However, if anyone has some ideas that I think I can work in I'll take them.

NicoleHP2000: Thanks for reviewing and thank for pointing out the error. I usually read over my chapters b4 posting them but sometimes I get lazy.

Kneh13: Thanks for reviewing. Meh, she didn't really want anything to do with Draco after realizing who he was. So she waited a bit b4 writing him.

Hayley Potter: *laughs arrogantly* Mine's better! Mine's better! Hooray! I actually have never seen this idea for a fanfic before but I'm sure there are some out there.

Harrys-Girl: well, here's more. As for them falling in love, we'll see how it all turns out soon.

Yami's Girl Forever: Hey, suck up all you want. I don't mind at all, lol.  Actually, I have no clue why your name is what it is, but I admit I have wondered.

Catgrl52: Hehe, I love it when ppl review every chapter instead of just the last updated one. It's great fun for me to watch your reaction to things before you get to where they are resolved. Yes, Lucius is evil. He should die, hmm, now there's an idea . . .

nati: Yeah, I know it's awful of my to do cliffies, but like I said earlier, it just seemed like a good place to stop. Plus it kept ppl's interest.

missgrint: Yay! It's addicting! I feel like such a good author now! I've managed to get ppl addicted, lol.

crystal wolf: Thanks for reviewing

Elfmoon87: Lol, thanks for reviewing! Aren't you glad that I've been able to update twice even though I have to share the computer with my dad at the mo'?

Aly: I love how you complain how I have so many more reviews than you and then you go and review my story. Lol! BTW, I bet you'd get more reviews if you updated, savvy? Here I'll help you out: Everyone read her stories, they're good!

vega: Heh, Hermione and Ron actually didn't snog. It was from gin's PoV and obviously she's going to exaggerate seeing as he's her brother. It was more like one passionate kiss  really. And, sorry to disappoint anyone who enjoys reading about a good shagging, but there is no shagging in my stories.

CrystalBlue: Thanks for reviewing. What do you mean by anger management?

PuddingSpeck: Thanks for reviewing

Saffron Spice: Eep! Please not the whip! Lol, I don't know how long you'd like to have it, but it is actually longer than I was planning and I am currently devising ways to lengthen it even further. But, alack, I move and start college in three weeks AND I'm writing a few stories on fictionpress that I need to finish, so we shall see.

Shadows-zephyr: Thanks for reviewing. Sorry I didn't email you, it slipped my mind. Yeah, it's amazing how he pulls off being both, isn't it. I love Draco. *sighs dreamily*

Sirius' Diamond: Hooray! It was only a few days. Hopefully my mom will pay the bill on the other computer, though. I miss it, *sniff*

Hplova4eva: Thanks for reviewing!

Wicked Witch of Slytherin: Thanks for reviewing

crazycoconutchic: Yeah, this chapter was actually sooner than I thought I'd be able to do it. Thanks for reviewing!

Tay: Yay, I'm not the only one who grins like an idiot while reading fanfiction! Sorry about the cliffy, but I felt it was necessary.

Fly Without Wings: Thanks for reviewing!

RetroHotty44765: Hehe, I addicted someone to D/G fics! Woopy! Lol, yes I know I am evil. *mel*

Krystynnia A. Flourierette: Here's more and thanks for reviewing.

firedragonfly: Yeah, I had that idea too. So I went and bought a disc and saved the capter on it, but when I went to upload it on my dad's computer his computer kept saying there as no disc in the H drive! So then I tried it at my friends house but her computer wanted to reformat the disc which would have erased everything on the disc! I just can't win!

A fan fic addict: Lol, sorry. I really am doing my best to update as fast as possible.

Incognito: Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm sorry about the cliffies, I'm really trying to stop it cuz it seems to be becoming a habit.

Harmonia: Heh, I guess I set myself up for that one (being called evil, I mean).Anyways, thanks for reviewing!

Tenshi No Yami: Hehe, yes Lucius should be destroyed. Hmm *sets to musing*

Silver Dragon Myst: Thanks for reviewing!

Hengeyokai: I updated! I updated!

FRENCHiE-EMORY: Here's an update. Thanks for reviewing!

Silver: Lol, I think you may be the only person who actually complimented the cliffhanger! Thanks for reviewing

Bellus Lupus: Read the thank you for firedragonfly. It explains why I don't just use my dad's comp to upload saved chapters. Thanks for reviewing!

Queen of Theives: Hehe, all of your questions will be answered soon. That's all I'm going to say. *mel*

mz-duCkiee: It was brave of Draco to stand up to his father (and everyone thought he was a coward). Thanks for reviewing. Sorry about all the cliffies.

sassw14: Y r u disappointed in Ginny? I'm confused. Oh, and you spell it disappointed. You were just missing one p.

Hpfreak: thanks for reviewing

Rising-angel: Thanks for reviewing

Daeva: Yeah, I hate cliffies too. So I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite. Ah well, thanks for reviewing.

ciela00: thanks for reviewing!

Pretty Kitty: Might I point out that if you kill me I can't finish the story? Lol, anyways, thanks for reviewing ( I think . . .)
