Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nobody...well, I own Zoe Macramé, but that's it!

Pam: Hey! Well, I plan on reading your story when I have the time! I am excited to read it! But of course, pent up passion is the hottest; so, I guess that works for anticipation to.

I'm glad you like Zoe! She is a new creation for me, usually the made up characters I put into my fiction are from other stories that I write for fun, but Zoe, I made her up especially for this fic, and I rather like how she turned out. Well, I'll tell you a secret, that no one but me knows!!! In chapter nine, Harry and Pansy are going to run into each other, it is going to prove to be a very interesting chapter! Well, For you, I would normally leave a longer shout out, but I don't know wht else to put, so, until next time!

DreamGurl-de-Draco: I love that you gave me the reasons as to why you love my story! It was a great review, and I look forwards to receiving more from you! Enjoy this next chapter!

Dark Angels: I am sending you an e-mail instead, ok?

Kittybro: Thanks for reviewing!

Tom Felton's Bitch: Thanks for the support! Enjoy the next chapter!

FilidhNiamh: Thank you for that little tid bit about the run on sentence! I am going to have to fix that when I get the chance, see, my last chapter wasn't one of my best edited ones, I hate to say that it was rather rushed, I was just so excited to move on to other chapters that I left that one unfairly bland. I am so happy that you like my Draco! He is so muchg fun to write! And I can't wait to write this next chapter, most of it will be taking place in the Gryffindor common room because we don't get to see how Ginny interacts with her friends and fellow Gryffindors. So, enjoy the next chapter! And thank you for the review!

May the Stars be with you always,

Ashen

Bigreader: lol, I UPDATED!!!

BlondeChicky: You luv my story? Oh, you just made my day! Also, the whole hugging the computer thing...I know just what you mean, I usually read fanfics at the library for unknown reason, and once I read this chapter to, 'The Ultimatum' Witch by the way, is like...the best story EVER! Well, it was upsetting cuz Ginny was pissed off at Draco, and so I left the library, hugged the first guy who walked in, (who just so happened to be in my science class, we are very good friends now cuz of that) and said, "No! IT'S NOT FAIR!" then ran out, leaving him very confused behind. It was actually pretty funny, and he thinks I am insane...but luvs me any ways! So, don't worry about being insane, cuz you're not the only one! We can be nutters together!

Slytherin Queen: actually, the next chapter is the one that shall be dedicated to you, so look out for it! Thanks for the encouraging review! And, there is not much Ron/Hermione yet, but it will be comeing up...eventually, and a Ron Hermione relationship, I find it more of a cute fluffy relationship than a seriouse passionet one, which Draco and Ginny's is bound to be! Again, thanks for the review! I look forwards to more!

gin rose raposo1: Well, here I am, writing more! Enjoy!

Laina3: Well, good luck with orientation! Don't be nervous! I am sure High School will be a blast!

[A/N] Well, there is absolutely no Draco what so ever in this chapter, it is more of a filler chapter. but I hope you enjoy it just the same, also, tell me what you think of how I portray Zoe and Luna, I love Zoe, but I don't know if i am doing a good job on Luna...tell me what you think!

Chapter eight: Plans, and Humpfalumpathuses

Ginny tramped into the common room rather deflated after dinner. She hadn't had the best day, it had started well, waking up happy, not getting hit by Peeves when he was spitting ink pellets at the students, but her luck had diminished the second she dragged Luna out of the empty class room to meet her flustered brother and leaving Zoe behind with Malfoy. She wouldn't tell Ginny what she had done to him, and Ginny just hoped he was still alive. After that she had lost five points for loitering, seven points for being late for Flitwick's class, and had received a detention from Snape for flicking frog's eyes at the black bored. She had been unfairly punished, as she had already used all her frogeyes in the potion, and it was the kid behind her doing the flicking. Her detention had been to scrub out all of the old cauldrons in the dungeons, and that was not the most exciting job in the world. Tired, angry, miserable, and aching, Ginny plopped down onto the huge window seat that was basically reserved for her, Zoe, and Luna. Luna spent most of her time in the Gryffindor common room, and some times even slept over in the Gryffindor dormitories.

"How was detention?" Zoe asked, looking up from her Transfiguration book for a moment as she sat own. Ginny raised her blood shot eyes to her friend and gave her one good long stare.

"How do you think?" She asked sarcastically, Luna answered.

"Judging by the fungi growing on the knee of your robes, the state of your hair, you bleeding right hand, and swollen eyes, I would say it went rather well compared to some of the other detentions he could have given you." Ginny decided there were to many witnesses to strangle Luna to death and settled with resting her hot face on the cool window. She sighed, enjoying the effect the cold glass had on her, and she felt the heat melt away, just as she heard the portrait squeak open, by force of habit she turned to see who it was, it was the golden trio. Hermione was talking in hushed tones to Harry, who threw a suspicious glance at Ginny, and then turned back to what Hermione was saying, Ron's face was getting redder by the second, and Ginny chose that moment to drag her three friends up to the fifth year girl's dormitories, where Ron couldn't eat them.

"What's the rush?" Zoe asked, mildly curious as she sat on her bed, Indian style.

"'Member how I told you about defence lessons with Malfoy, how Hermione walked in on us?"

"When you were about to snog?" Zoe asked with a grin, knowing this would piss Ginny off to no end.

"We were not about to snog! We...we...were..."

"Snogging!" Zoe laughed.

"Zoe!" Ginny shrieked, she threw a pillow at her, which Zoe easily deflected. The sun was sinking behind the trees and the room was getting dark, Luna pulled her wand off her ear and mumbled a little charm and all the candles lit themselves. Ginny watched amused as Luna tucked her wand behind her ear again.

"Why do you keep your wand behind you ear?" Ginny asked, every time she asked this the answer changed.

"It is a proven fact that Humpfalumpathuses are attracted to witches that keep their wands near their heads, and every one knows that a Humpfalumpathus is a very lucky creature, if it lets a witch see it, she will have good luck for the rest of forever."

Zoe nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Oh yes, and Billywig's aren't an important ingredient in Fizzing Whizzbees."

"That's ridicules! Mokamar, the god of Billywig's would never allow it!" Luna cried indignantly.

Zoe grinned, "Next time you have one, read the wrapper."

"Ginevra Molly Weasely!" She heard Ron scream up the stairs.

Ginny's eyes widened.

Zoe got up and walked to the door calmly.

"Shut up you great goon! She's sleeping! You'll wake her up!"

"Like hell she's sleeping! I want to know why she was practically snogging that rat!"

"We don't know what you're talking about!" Zoe called back down and slammed the door shut. "Alright, we are going to have to come up with a cover story." Zoe said, and snuggled back down on her bed, hugging one of her pillows, Ginny sat on a girl named Miranda's bed, as Luna was currently reading the Quibbler on hers. Luna promptly put down her Quibbler and looked at them both expectantly.

"So, what is it?" She asked.

"Umm..."

"I have a great one!" Luna said. Ginny was not looking forwards to hearing it, as it would probably include hunting for some made up creature like a Pumphalups or something.

"You could say that you always study in the Room of Requirement, and when you went in, Malfoy was kick boxing, and he chose to harass you, and stuff, and Hermione just walked in at a bad time." Zoe pulled out a little note pad from under her pillow and pretended to start writing in it, she said out loud,

"October seventh, Luna actually said something that made sense."

"Luna! That's awesome! I even had my books with me because I had forgotten to drop them off!" Ginny was now pacing, and talking to herself. "This is perfect, there is no flaw in the plan, because when Hermione came in, she had made the perfect study area appear, she doesn't know it wasn't there before she came in...and the training half..." Ginny was now talking more to herself than any one else, fiddling with the emerald ring around her neck. She grinned manically.

"It's perfect! She said, and hugged Luna around the middle.

"Your welcome." Luna said, and pulled her Quibbler back up and began to read again. Zoe frowned at Ginny, who still had a tight grip on the ring around her neck.

"What's that?" She asked curiously. Pointing to the thick golden ring around her neck. Ginny held it up for Zoe to see, and the Emerald glinted in the candle light, as if showing off to Zoe how expensive it looked. Zoe ran her finger over the egg shaped emerald embedded in the golden band, she shifted her gaze from the ring to Ginny's eyes, then back to the ring again.

"The emerald is the exact same colour as your eyes Gin..." She said in awe. "They are an even deeper green than Harry's..." The ring glinted off from the light again, apparently pleased with it's self for giving Ginny such beautiful eyes. Ginny scowled down at it and abruptly tucked it into her shirt.

"I still miss my old eyes..."

"Yea...but I bet you can see in the dark with those ones, their kind of cat like if you look at them closely." Zoe said, then Ginny remembered talking to Draco in his dark room...remembered how clearly she could see him, even if there was just one small candle lit. She realised why now, because she could see in the dark. Right that second, she decided she liked her new eyes, even if they were a little strange.

[A/N] Ok, this chapter was a little short, but that is ok, cuz I really want to do the next chapter, if you are all really good and give me 20 reviews you will get your next chapter and maybe one after...and chapter 10 will have some D/G action, I promise!!!!! laughs Manically and leaves to wait for reviews

SNEAKY PEAKY HAHAHA:

Harry couldn't stand it any more, he kicked back his covers and started to get dressed, ignoring Ron as he mumbled something about killing Malfoy in his sleep. Once he was dressed he slipped on his invisibility cloak and crept to his favourite balcony just off the third floor corridor. The night was aging, and the sky was dark, it was around the time when he and Hermione hand watched Sirius fly away on buck beak in their third year. Oh, how he missed Sirius...

"The night is beautiful..." Harry spun around, and to his surprise, Pansy Parkinson was leaning against the railing next to him, looking up at the moon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry...that was a very long sneak peak, but, you get the picture.

So, until I get all twenty reviews...

L8er,

Ashen,

May the stars be with you always.
