A/N: This is my favorite chapter yet. I promise, you will love it, even though it's on the short side.

Ginny Weasley was standing in line at the Post Office in Hogsmeade, waiting for an owl to deliver a massive package to her mother. Conan was too tiny and frail to carry such a heavy package such a long distance, so Ginny was forced to stand in line, waiting for a Postal Owl. Not only was this a very long, slow-moving line, but there was a four-year-old boy standing in front of her, staring. He showed no sign of stopping and was making no effort to be discreet.
Having been standing there for thirty minutes with the kid staring at her,Ginny was fed up. She raised her fist and gave the boy the middle finger along with a nasty face, just as a tall blonde man walked in and took a place in line behind her. In a matter of seconds, the little boy fell on the floor and started bawling. His mother tried to console the little boy but there was no stopping him. The woman had to grab his hand and lead him outside, blushing furiously and keeping her head down to avoid anyone's eyes.
"Nice job, Weasley," he said. Ginny spun around and her eyes widened at the sight of Draco Malfoy. It took her a moment to regain her composure, and all the while, he smirked.
"What happened to 'Gorgeous'?" she asked, finally finding something witty to respond with.
"I thought you were gorgeous until I realized that you were a Weasley and saw the resemblance between you and Ronald," he said, pausing to pick the dirt from under his fingernail, "and only just now have I realized how well you care for children."
"Yes, when I realized that you were Malfoy, I remembered that I loathed you with a burning passion back at Hogwarts because you were the one responsible for ushering in the Death Eaters in my fifth year, causing the death of one of the world's greatest known wizards." Ginny smiled grimly at him.
"My heart has been broken, Weaslette!" Malfoy laid a hand on his chest where his heart would be and made a gagging noise.
"You don't have a heart, Malfoy," she said, rolling her eyes, "and don't ever make that noise around me again."
"Don't worry."
They glared into each others' eyes for the next three minutes, until Ginny grabbed him by the ears and kissed him.
"My ears! You nearly ripped them off, you harpy!"
Ginny stuck her tongue out. Malfoy grabbed a strand of her long red hair and dragged her (with no sign of a struggle) into the one-person bathroom.
