Hey to all! I got some reviews and fixed my 8th chapter and changed little things, nothing important! Here's # 9! =)

--

Hermione sat in the library, thinking. There's a dance coming up. I know Ron likes me, maybe I should try to forget about Harry. Maybe..... She looked down at her book, a worn New Theory of Numerology. She slammed her book shut, making a group of second-years jump. ..... or I could get Harry to start liking me. I've got the looks, maybe I should start watching Cho or something. That's it! I'll get him to like me. Perfect.

She got up from her cozy window seat and went up to her room. She went to her full-length mirror and looked at herself. The mirror was making remarks while she was trying different looks. She went over to her dresser and got out some clothes. She picked up a blue skirt and held it up to her.

"What do you think?" Hermione asked, looking at the mirror.

"Nice. Who are you trying to impress? Hm?" said a singsong voice from the mirror.

"No one." Hermione said, turning around. She picked up a white top and laid it on her bed above her skirt. Perfect. She changed clothes and shoes, straightened her hair and grabbed her rob. She walked towards the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms and knocked.

--

Ginny went down the Slytherin staircase and went back to her place on the couch. She got comfortable and soon fell asleep.

Knock. Knock.

Ginny opened her eyes and sat up. Her book fell to the floor and she picked it up and put if on the table. She was about to get up when

"No, don't get up. I'll get it since you sleep so heavy." Draco said, sarcastically. He went over to the door and opened it before Ginny could answer.

"Yes, Granger. What is it?" Draco asked, moving aside to let Hermione in. He heard a door slam and turned to find Ginny gone.

"I'd like to speak to Ginny, Malfoy. Is she here?" Hermione asked, looking around.

"I don't know. Hold on. Let me check her room." Draco said, walking towards the staircase.

"I don't think Ginny would like you to go up to her room, Malfoy." Hermione said, glaring at him.

"That's why there is this thing called knocking. Be right beck. Don't make yourself comfortable." Draco said, walking up the staircase.

Draco went to her room and knocked, then entered. She had redecorated after he had dropped Arwen off. It was an emerald green room with white furniture and black sheets and curtains. It had posters of guys from movies over the walls. They weren't moving.

"Ginny! Where ya be, Gin?" Draco asked, looking around.

"I'm just sitting in the chair, Draco. Are you blind?" Ginny asked, standing up.

"Well, no. You just blend in with everything. And why don't any of your posters move?" Draco asked, looking at all of them.

"Their muggle posters, silly. This one is Legolas from The Lord of the Rings and this is Aragorn and Pippin, also from The Lord of the Rings. And this is Kenshin from that book you took from me. But I like my poster of Sam from the Lord of the Rings the best," she said, pointing at a picture of a chubby little man looking up at his friend.

"Why are they so small?" Draco asked, looking closely at her.

"They are hobbits. They are only like 2-3 feet tall. But I like Sam the best because he's a perfect friend, through thick and thin. And he's so cute, too." Ginny said, turning towards Draco. "What did Ms. Perfect want?"

"Who?... Oh, her. She wanted to see you."

"MALFOY! I'M COMING UP THERE!" Hermione screamed, coming up the stairs.

"Hide if you don't want her to see you." Draco said.

"No that's ok. I'll have to face her in meetings and stuff too." Ginny said, walking towards the door. She opened it and there was Hermione.

"This is where I take my leave." And with that, Draco shut the door.

"Oh, hey Ginny. I need to talk to you." She said, walking inside and looking around. "It's kinda dark in here."

Ginny mumbled something under her breath and the room got lighter. "That better?" Getting a nod from Hermione she went on," so what did you want to see me for?"

"Well I need your help. I really like Harry and I want you to find out. I know that you can...how do you say...'spy' very well. What I mean is that you can lurk in the shadows. I need to find out what he likes and dislikes about girls. Things he'll tell Ron but not me. Will you please do it? I'll pay you. Please, Ginny?"

"Um.. Sure Hermione. What do you want known?" Ginny asked. As Hermione began to open her mouth Ginny interrupted. "You know what, why don't you write it down and we can discuss it later in the library or at Hogsmeade or something. But the paying thing. I mean Hermione...."

"I insist. You will be paid a Galleon an hour when you work. Is that clear?" Hermione asked, looking Ginny in the eyes.

"Sure, whatever. I can now get a dress for this dance thing." Ginny said, staring right back at her.

"Then it's settled. Start tomorrow and if you get caught I'll try to cover for you but don't get caught if possibly. Thanks Gin!" Hermione said, enclosing Ginny in a hug.

"That's alright, Hermione. I'll be glad to." Ginny said, moving backward.

"Ok, good. There is also a prefects and Head's meeting tonight after dinner. Please come to this one. We will discuss the talent show and decorations and things. See you later." Hermione said, walking out the door, leaving Ginny with a surprised look on her face.

"Draco! You didn't tell me there was a talent show." Ginny said, running down the stairs and finding him on the couch.

"Didn't know you had any talent," he answered sarcastically, not looking up.

"For your information, I can sing pretty well." She said, sitting on the other end of the couch.

"Oh yeah? I can too and I'm entered. What are you going to sing?" Draco asked, looking at her.

"You will have to watch and find out." Ginny said.

"My date won't tell me what she's singing?" Draco asked, giving her puppy dog eyes.

"No, because your date doesn't even know herself. We have a meeting after dinner. Meet me in here because I'm taking Arwen to dinner and we can go together. Okay with you?"

"Fine. Order me around." Draco said, rolling his eyes.

Ginny smiled and leaned in. Her face was getting closer and closer. He could feel her warm breath on his face. Then she grabbed her pillow, causing him to fall backwards.

"Hey! That hurt."

"Aww.. I'm sorry. Poor Drakey!" Ginny said, kissing him on the cheek. "I have to go find Arwen. Bye."

Ginny went upstairs, leaving Draco on the couch. Man, I have to win her over at the dance. I have to. And I'm going to.

--

Hermione almost ran to the Gryffindor common room. Ginny is going to the dance with Draco? What is wrong with that? She said the password (Dragons) and entered.

"Ron?" Hermione yelled, quickly searching the common room. No Ron in here. He might have already gone to dinner with Harry. She left and made her way to the Great Hall.

--

"Ok, we will tell her over dinner. Ok, Travis?" Brittany said, walking towards the Slytherin/ Gryffindor common room.

"Ginny? It's time for dinner. Come on. "Travis yelled towards the Gryffindor staircase.

"Ok. I got Arwen in my bag. I'm here. Lets go." Ginny said, hopping down the stairs. They went out the door and toward the Great Hall when an owl flew down and landed on Ginny's head. They swerved toward the left and sat down in the corridor. Ginny opened the letter while Travis and Brittany were breathing down her neck.

"All it says it that I'm to meet him at the Front doors at 11:45 on the night of the dance." Ginny said, after rereading it again.

"That's all? Well after this week we are going to go get dresses at Hogsmeade, ok? We have to find you the perfect dress. We should start planning......" Brittany trailed off in thought.

"Yea, you both can do that and leave me out. Sure. I need to find some guy friends." Travis said, rolling his eyes.

"No, Travis! You have to be there and tell us what our dresses look like and if their all right. "Brittany said, smiling up at him pleadingly.

"All right. Hm.. Being around two beautiful, sexy ladies. Good deal." Travis said, picking up the letter and getting up.

"Yea, that's right, Travis. "Brittany said, getting up and helping Ginny get Arwen and help her up.

"I'm hungry." Ginny said, Arwen seconding that. "Lets go. "

They went down to dinner.

--

Hermione found Harry and Ron in their usual seats, eating.

"Ron! Guess who Ginny is going to the dance with?" Hermione asked, looking at him.

"Who?" Ron asked, grabbing a bowl of potatoes.

"Draco Malfoy! Can you believe it?" Hermione asked, looking at a wide- eyed Ron.

"I can't believe it. Who do you know?" Ron asked.

"I overheard them talking. I had to ask Ginny a question and I heard her talking to Draco." Hermione said, looking back and forth between Ron and Harry.

"Who do we know they said that to mislead you?" Harry asked, looking up at her.

"I don't think they knew I was there. They were just talking like normal people. I don't think they knew." Hermione said with a little worry in her voice.

"Well I think they did and just said that to get you to tell Ron so he can get mad. That's all. Now lets eat." Harry said, dismissing the conversation with a little worried voice.

Hermione stared at Harry for a minute then shook her head and went on eating her dinner. "I have a meeting later on. I'll meet you up in the library later, okay?"

"Sure."

"Whatever."

"Bye guys. Hermione said, finishing up and grabbing her bag. She walked past the Slytherin table.

"Hey Malfoy, we have a meeting tonight. Don't be late...again." Hermione said before walking out the door.
