Sitting on a park bench
Not a penny in our pockets
But thats al right now
Strumming on a guitar
All the girlies say we rock it
And I'm feeling high now
Working on a suntan
We don't even try to block it
And it's hot as hell but we don't care
'Cause we don't have to go nowhere
We're just chillen day by day
Walk
along with me
Walk along with me
Won't you walk with me
Walk in harmony
Chilling in the sunshine
Hanging by Betheasda Fountain
Watch a puppet show
We're slowly get stoned
While the Hare Krishna dancing
And I satrt to zone
Until I hear a baby cry
Breaking up my daydream
Happnes all the time but that's all right
You know it's just a part of life
We got to take it day by day
I
still believe I can fly I get higher and higher
I will be free I will fly higher and higher
Chilling out having fun tripping on a good time
Hanging with the girls in the sunshine
Strumming on a guitar acting like a rock star
Mamma always said her baby's gonna go real far
Crazy vibe catch a ride
I wanna go around the world and see the flipside
You and me can't you see
We're everything we need to be right now
- Seven and the Sun

"Good Morning, Miss.Weasley," Draco greeted Ginny the next morning, striding past the Gryffindor table towards the Professors' table to have breakfast.
Ginny looked up, startled, but exchanged smiles with him. Everything had changed since last night. Fortunately nobody, save Luna and Colin, noticed this burst of special attention.
Luna cleared her throat to get Ginny's attention, as Ginny had been busy following Malfoy's purposeful, brisk walk across the Hall with her eyes.
"What happened last night?" Luna asked. She was not one to beat around the bush. Colin choked on his muffin.
"Last night? You and Malfoy?" He babbled. Ginny could not help but smirk.
"Ugh, you look like him when you do that," Colin looked horrified.
Ginny frowned, "I do not."
"The exact smirk," Colin insisted. Luna rolled her eyes.
"So?" She asked, bringing Ginny's attention back to her question.
"Nothing, we just talked," she replied, looking down at her food, trying to conceal the blush creeping into her cheeks at the mere memory of last night. Luna was not fooled.
"Did he kiss you or something?" She asked, flat out.
Colin choked again, spluttering, bits of chewed up food flying all over the place. Ginny made a face, moving a few inches away, disgusted. Luna across from them and in safe territory, waited for an answer patiently.
"No!" Ginny looked at her friends, astonished that they could suggest such a thing.
She pretended as if the mere idea had never ever crossed her mind, though it had, a thousand times if she were to count. This made Colin look genuinely relieved.
Luna believed Ginny, but now she was even more worried, because the one thing even worse than physical attachment was emotional bonding. If Ginny and Malfoy had gotten closer emotionally, as she suspected was what had happened, it was even riskier. It meant that her best friend was now even more vulnerable.
Why do you think wives got angrier when their husbands had long conversations or lunches with another woman rather than when the husbands slept with some random female? They knew they had lost their husbands' heart.
Personally, Luna would rather have had Malfoy kiss Ginny than do whatever he had done last night, but it seemed that this was one love affair that she had no clue as to where it was heading - and that was saying something.

"I don't believe in soul mates," Malfoy stated as he stared up at the sky. He was leaning against the trunk, Ginny beside him.
They had been staring up at the sky attempting to identify the constellations. Ginny had spotted the Dog Star, Sirius. When she had grown silent and solemn and he had asked her why. She had told him everything about that day at Department of Mysteries of Magic.
Draco felt a heavy burden of guilt that his father had been one of the Deatheaters and she noticed it, being the intuitively perceptive girl she was, and had told him that it was not his fault.
He had been blinded by his love for his parents and had been rendered ignorant to the other side of the coin by it. Draco had smiled at her, caught in the admiration and respect he felt for her.
"What do you believe in then?" Ginny asked, bringing him back to the present.
"The missing rib," he stated, dryly, glancing down at her face to see her reaction. She looked genuinely bewildered.
"The missing what?" She asked, even more intrigued, "Tell me," she insisted, when he did not respond.
He nodded, amused by her impatience to know and to find out, her insatiable hunger for knowledge. She was truly intelligent.
"There was once this girl and this boy very much in love. The girl then asked the boy 'Tell me... who do you love most in this world?' The boy replied, 'You, of course!' The girl pressed on, 'In your heart, what am I to you?' "
"The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and said, "You are my rib. In the Bible, it was said that God saw that Adam was lonely. And so, during his sleep; God took one of Adam's ribs and created Eve."
"Every man has been searching for his missing rib; only when you find the woman of your life will you no longer feel the lingering ache in your heart."
Ginny smiled dreamily when Draco ended his little tale.
"That's it?" She asked.
"Yes that's it." His gray eyes, however, seemed to be filled with anguish momentarily and she knew that there was more to the story, however, she did not press on.
"So have you found your missing rib?" She asked, knowing that it was a rather personal question.
Draco paused, staring down at her, deep in thought. His face was a tantalizing few inches away. She realized briefly how she longed to discover the taste of his lips. A lustrous desire shot through her, the iciness of his gaze heating her up, till she almost nearly closed her eyes in anticipation but he glanced away, looking back up at the night sky.
"I don't know yet," he answered.
"Why do you hate Harry?" She asked suddenly, remembering the question that had been plaguing her mind since the day before.
"I don't," he paused and she knew he would continue. "I just envy him. He's got everything that I don't have," Draco murmured.
"That's not true. Harry never had a real family," Ginny pointed out sensibly.
"Yes but he has your family."
Ginny smiled, "I thought you didn't like my family."
Draco grinned sheepishly, "I don't like your brothers," he said, honestly. Ginny snorted, suddenly missing her brothers' and their crazy ways.
Before he could ask her if she missed them because she looked slightly sad at the thought of them, a loud noise crashed through the usual sounds of the night – the splish splash of the giant squid in the lake, the rustle of tree branches – and then that earsplitting 'crash!'.
They stared at each other, in fear and shock. A professor caught with a student was one thing - a Weasley in the company of a Malfoy was a whole other matter.
A large, tall figure stepped out from the shadows. Ginny stared up in horror when she realized who it was.

A/n:
I am glad I sound crazy…I am eternally crazy I tell ya..i have this tremendous mood swings..
You like Paulo? He's modeled after my classmate who is the sweetest guy in the world..I used to have a huge crush on him and remnants of it still linger but he's not my type – I go for the older, nicer kinda guy..speaking of which I have a date with one tomorrow..my first date..pretty nervous..
You think only the professor thing stands in the way? Sweetie, I hate to disappoint you but we are talking about Malfoy vs Weasley, Gryffindor vs Slytherin..Are they willing to defend their relationship? Are they willing to take the plunge in the first place? Will it work out? Ever? Both of them as individuals have a lot of issues..so it takes time..true love takes time..
Aplogies for this ultra short chappie..and the evil cliffie but do guess who was standing in the clearing ..and to compensate for this ultra short chappie, I will post the next chapter VERY VERY soon (If you give me sufficient feedback of course)
The person who guesses the identity of the intruder correctly will have the next chapter dedicated to them..and trust me the next chapter's juicy..mamamia!
And draco ginny snogging come up real soon..i mean it..so do stay tuned..i mean they have to unleash all those pent up physical attraction/tension soon right?
Sneakie Peekie BOO!!!!!!!
He spotted Ginny, her red hair standing out among the rest. He slowed down trying to catch her eye subtly without anyone else noticing. He had to speak to her, alone. He need not have worried.
Her eyes instinctively wandered over to the tall, good-looking, blonde man strolling down the classroom. He nodded towards an empty classroom by the side, slipping inside it. Ginny wondered what could be so urgent that he needed to speak to her now. Curiosity aroused, she told Colin that she would meet him at their next talk
(To the tune of 'We will rock you' by Five and Queen)
