Hey to all! It's a holiday over here! Great joy. I'm bored and listening to Wingspan! So here it goes..... Chapter 10.

"Ginny, we have to tell you something." Brittany said, looking up at her.
"What is it?" Ginny asked, feeding Arwen a bite of chicken.
"Well.. you see.... Me and Travis are going out. I'm sorry i didn't tell you before!" Brittany blurted out, looking away.
"Gah! Duh! Everyone knows. Finally you came out with it! Ha!" Ginny said, laughing at their stunned faces.
"Well at least she's taking it well." Travis said, looking at Brittany.
"Excuse me! ATTENTION EVERYONE! Thank you." Dumbledore said, looking over all the hall. "A new student has enrolled in Hogwarts. He will be in his Sixth Year."
The boy had sandy- blonde hair, spiked up, piercing blue eyes and gleaming white teeth as he smiled at the Great Hall. He had an earring in his left ear as he sat down on the stool. Dumbledore placed the Sorting Hat on the boy's head. "GRYFFINDOR!" The boy made his way down to the Gryffindor table and Ginny motioned him to sit with them.
"Hey! Come sit with us. What's your name?" Ginny asked as the boy sat down beside her.
"My name is Cory Italia. I just found out about my powers at the beginning of the year and Dumbledore has been tutoring me, trying to catch me up and I finally have."
"Awesome. Well, I'm Ginny. This is Brittany and Travis. And I think Lavender likes you." Ginny said, pointing at the giggling Lavender staring at Cory. Brittany and Travis started cracking up.
"Sweet. She's kinda cute. Anyways I'm from America, but no school there would take me. Then I got a letter from Dumbledore. He's great. Where do I go if I'm not hungry?" Cory asked, looking at Ginny.
"We'll show you. We're finished anyway." Ginny said, putting Arwen up.
"No I'm not." Travis said, still finishing his chicken.
"And you're a perfect too, Travis. Ok whatever. Brittany and me will show you. Right?"
"Right." Brittany said.
They went out the big brown doors and made there way to the Gryffindor dorms, pointing out everything along the way.
"Thanks, ladies. I bid you Good Night. I have to go settle in."
"Here, I'll help. Gin's got to go to the meeting and I have nothing to do."
"Sure, that would be great. Bye Ginny."
"Bye Cory. Bye Brit!"
Ginny went by her room to put Arwen up and made her way towards the meeting room. She started to run when she realized she was late. She burst through the doors, interrupting Hermione.
"Sorry guys. I had to go put my cat down." Ginny said, out of breath. She sat down in the back.
"Anyways. As I was saying. There will be a dance on Friday. We will have teams to help decorate. I will assign you partners and tell you what to work on. And we will also have a half-day class hours of Thursday and Friday so people can go to Hogsmeade and pick out their gowns and stuff for the Halloween ball/dance. Ok, here are the partners." Hermione said, as she began to read out a list of names.
Ginny was partnered with Seamus. "I didn't know that you were a prefect or anything?!?" Ginny asked, while starting to paint a banner.
"I'm not. I'm just really good in painting so Hermione asked me to help with banners and things." Seamus said, smiling down at her.
"Well, I'm painting this if you want to help." Ginny said. She pushed a wisp of hair back behind her ears causing her to make a paint mark across her cheek.
"Here, you got paint on your face." Seamus said as he wiped red paint off her face.
"Thanks." Ginny said, blushing. "There, prefect. We will put this banner up Friday of the dance after lunch over the doors."
"Yeah... er... I was wondering, do you want to go to the dance with me?" Seamus asked, helping her up from the floor.
"Oh, Seamus, I'm sorry but I'm going up someone else." Ginny said, brushing off her pants.
"Oh. That's ok. Maybe we could share a dance or something. Well I'm going back to the tower. See you tomorrow." Seamus said, looking down.
"Yeah, we can share a dance. When you go back up there please be nice to the new guy Cory, since he's new and all. Well I won't keep you. Goodnight, Seamus.
"Sure, Goodnight Gin," he said, heading for the door.
Ginny was about to leave also but someone caught her arm.
"Hey Gin, I have to walk around and 'post watch'. Do you wanna come?" Travis asked.
"Sure, I don't have anything to do, except for a ton of homework." Ginny said.
"No, never mind. You're behind in homework, go do it." Travis said, looking down at her.
"Whatever, Mother hen." Ginny said, before leaving the room.
As she was walking down the hall towards the prefect's tower, something crashed behind her. She turned around and saw someone lying on the ground.
"Oh dear, are you ok?" Ginny asked, rushing over to the fallen person. "Oh Colin, what are you doing out at this time?" She helped him and up and helped brush him off.
"I was just walking around, you know. Well actually I was trying to find you and I ran into something. I'm sorry about last year and I want this year to be different. Can we please get back together? I'll be better. It'll be different. I swear." Colin said, looking Ginny in the eyes.
"Colin, you broke up with me, not vice versa. You should have thought about that before you did break up with me. I'm sorry but I don't like you like that anymore. Could we just try to be friends?" Ginny asked, breaking eye contact with him.
"I don't think so Ginny. I'm sorry but we can't. You'll regret this. You will." Colin said, storming off down the empty corridor.
Colin had grown over the summer and was now a good two inches over Ginny. He looked as though he had worked out over the summer too. Ginny watched him storm off down the corridor before walking very quickly down to the tower. She felt better when she was finally inside the common room. She went up to her and changed into some shorts and a tank top and grabbed her books and pillow and went back downstairs. She made a little nest in front of the fire and began to work. After ten minutes, Arwen came into the room.
"Hey, kitty kitty." Ginny said, trying to get Arwen to come near her. The cat refused.
"Kitty, kitty, kitty won't come to me." Ginny said, before looking down at her reviews for Transfiguration. The Head of Gryffindor had assigned five reviews to be done by Tuesday and Ginny had done none of them. Now it was Sunday night and Ginny was paying for it.
"Stupid reviews. Let's go to another subject." Ginny said, putting up her papers and book. "Snape's essay." She said, while getting out her Potion's book and some parchment.
"Wolfsbane and how to use it in a potion," she headed up her paper. She started to copy down what her book had to say, changing some words to make it a little bit different. "There that's done," she said as she slammed her Potion's book shut, causing Arwen to fall off the chair.
"Opps, sorry Are." Ginny said, getting up to stroke the cat. Arwen jumped down and ran up the Slytherin staircase and ran down the hall. " Fine then, stupid cat."
"Meow."
Ginny laid back down and got out her diary. She wrote about her happenings for this week and about her Colin incident. He was the one who broke up with me. That is his problem and I'm not going back to him. I think he did me more bad than good. Ginny thought as she locked her diary with a secret charm that only she could use. She heard the door open and shut and got up to see who it was.
There was Draco, collapsed on the floor, sound asleep.
"Draco, Draco! Get up. Go to bed!" Ginny said, nudging him to get up.
"Hmm... Why, Hello Ginny." Draco said, obviously drunk. "Can you help me find my dog, I've seem to lost him and I should die if I never find the poor thing," he said, trying to stand up.
"You're dog is up here, Draco, I'll help you get to bed. Come now, " Ginny said, helping and dragging him up the stairs. She got him to his room and tucked him in bed. "Goodnight, Draco."
"Goodnight, Gin. You're so beautiful. Thank you, my love," he said, before drifting off to sleep.
"Goodnight, my dear Draco. If only..." Ginny whispered, moving his hair out of his face. She left the blonde to sleep.
She went back down the stairs and picked up all her stuff and took it to her room. She let dropped it all on the floor and said a spell to make it all go back to its place.
He was just drunk, Gin. No reason to get your hopes up. She thought as she climbed into bed. No reason at all.

Travis was walking around the castle on his 'guard', as he liked to call it. It made him feel important when he called it that, but Brittany thought it was silly. He was about to turn the corner when he heard someone coming. He turned the corner and almost ran into Colin, who looked raged.
"Why are you out so late, Colin?" Travis asked, looking around for anyone else, thinking there might be a girl hiding somewhere. There usually was with people snogging out at night.
"I'm just walking. Is that ok with you?" Colin asked, getting offensive.
"No, but its past curfew. Five points from Gryffindor. Sorry but fair is fair."
"Don't talk to me about fair, okay." Colin asked before storming off.
What's his problem? Travis thought as he headed towards his room.

All Draco could remember was Crabbe and Golye coming up to him after the meeting and saying that they were sorry and wanted to be friends again. And they had brought a little present. After remembering old times in past years with them, Draco had managed to stumble back to the tower. He had slurred the password but the horse had let him in anyway. There he collapsed on the floor. And that's all he remembered when he woke up the next morning at 6 was that Ginny tucking him in bed and him calling her beautiful. Did I really say that? he thought as he got into the shower. He took a nice hot shower and got dressed for classes. It was Monday and he had Advanced Potions. With Ginny. he thought as he went downstairs.
"Meow." Arwen cried, running over to Draco from a chair. He picked the cat up and slipped her into his coat pocket. He headed down to the Great Hall slowly, thinking of what to sing at the talent show. He started humming a song as he sat down to eat.
