A/N: Okay sorry for such a long break. I had this story all planned out and then something happened…. But I'm going to try and get back to updating quicker.

A month had passed since I have moved in with Draco. The Gryffindor's now shunned me but I could care less. Dumbledore decided that Luna and I should just be moved with the Slytherins, but we both said no. We were put in our houses for a reason and we are going to stay. Right now Luna, Blaise, Draco and I were in the living room watching TV. It was Friday night and our weekly party night. Luna was sitting on the floor between Blaise's legs, while he sat on the couch. I sat next Luna. Draco was sitting with his legs lying on the couch, while leaning against the armrest. Blaise was the one who had the popcorn bowl.

I leaned across and grabbed a handful of popcorn. Blaise hit my hand as I was pulling it towards me. I dropped all the popcorn in surprise. It landed all over Luna.

"Hey, what am I? A target for all food fights?" Luna asked while picking the popcorn off of her.

"Blame your boyfriend on that one." I said while sticking my tongue out at him. He threw a piece at me. I just picked it up and ate it.

"Hey Luna, are you going to the dance on Halloween?" I asked while grabbing a handful. I glared at Blaise when he went to hit my hand. He backed of immediately.

"Are you nuts? I wouldn't miss that for anything. Are you going?"

"I don't have a dress or a person to go with." I handed some of my popcorn to Draco.

"Well you don't HAVE to have a date. And tomorrow a trip to Hogsmeade has been planned. We can go shopping for a dress."

I thought about it for a moment. I wanted to go, but I would feel like the third wheel.

Draco spoke behind me. "Hey Ginny, do you want to go with me?" I turned around so fast I got a crick in my neck.

"Are you sure? I mean if you don't want to…"

"Ginny, seriously, I want to go with you. I mean that's what best friends do. And we would dance anyway, so why not ask now?"

"Well then, yes Luna, I'm going and hell yes to Hogsmeade."

Draco then pulled me up to the couch and we cuddled up watching the movie. It was Pirates of the Caribbean. I fell asleep before it was over.

When I woke up I was actually on top of Draco. Luna and Blaise were nowhere to be seen. I looked at my watch. It was 10:23 am. I sat up and climbed to the other side of the couch. I started to rub my eyes to get awake. When I finally stretched enough I got up and went to the kitchen. I started to make pancakes. Draco woke up when I started the bacon.

"Hey sleepy head. Can you help me by the setting up the table?"

"Yeah." He just used his wand and the table setting was in there perfect spots. He leaned against the counter and said, "Anything else?"

"Oh shut-up or you'll have to make your own breakfast." He rolled his eyes and grabbed a glass and walked to the refrigerator. He opened it and poured himself a glass of orange juice. He walked back and leaned against the counter.

"Ginny, you know if you don't want to go to the dance you don't have to go?"

I looked at him like he had gone nuts. "I wanted to go. I really did, but I didn't want to feel like the third wheel. And you took care of it. Besides, I wouldn't want to go with anyone else but my best friend."

"Okay. Same here. I mean I don't want to sound like I'm just doing this, cause I want to go to. It's just I didn't want to force you to go. Does that make any sense?"

"Calm down. Yes it makes sense. We both want to go and we both want to go with each other so lets leave it at that." When the bacon was finished I put it on the table. I also put the pancakes out. That's when Luna and Blaise walked down. Their hair was a giant mess. They slowly made their way to the table and plopped down on the chairs. I sat down in front of Luna and Draco in front of Blaise.

"So Luna you ready to go to Hogsmeade today?"

"Yeah I just have to get dressed and all prettied up. I love that word. Prettied. So funny sounding." Luna said while giggling.

"God, Luna why are you always so happy in the morning. You could go without full 24 hours of sleep and still be happy." Blaise asked while pushing his food around on the plate.

"Sorry, I love mornings. It's always a good time to be happy.

"Sorry Luna, but you're always happy." Draco said while smiling.

We goofed around until it was time to get ready. I put the dishes in the sink and charmed them to clean themselves. I looked at my stuff and picked my outfit out. It was a pair of blue jeans with a pale blue shirt. It was kind of see-through so I had to put a white shirt on underneath. I grabbed my shoes walked to the bathroom. I applied my make-up and put my hair in low pigtails. I walked out and Luna was all ready. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans. She had on her black and pink vans. She had on a Hawthorne Heights shirt. Her hair was down and looked really cute.

"Are you ready to go Ginny?"

"Yeah. Let me get my money."

"Hey is it alright if we meet the boys in the Three Broomsticks at 3:00?"

"Yeah, that's fine. It should give us enough time to get what we need." We then left. We walked down to the entrance hall where Filch was checking names off. When it was our turn I went before Luna. He checked my name off. When Luna came up he looked at it and back at her.

"What's you name sweetie?"

"Luna Lovegood. I should be on the list. I've been going for 3 years."

"Sorry but you're not on it. Maybe if you came to my office we'll see." Filch gave her this sickly smile. I could feel my anger rising. I grabbed the clipboard and found her name right away.

"Filch let her through now or I'm going to get Professor Dumbledore." He gulped and let her walk by. I glared at him and threw the clipboard back. I grabbed Luna's arm and we walked off.

"How dare he do that to you Luna. Why didn't you stop him? Who knows what he could have done. That magic skipping fairy nut has gone to far this time. I ought to turn him in? What in Merlin's name do you find so funny?" I looked at Luna, she was giggling so hard she had tears running down her face.

"Magic skipping fairy nut! Oh my gosh, that's the best one so far. Now come on girlie we have dresses calling our names!" She grabbed my hand and dragging me and skipping at the same time. When we came to the village we went to the first dress shop available.

"Wizards, Muggles and more. Sounds awfully like a butchering shop to me. Are you sure they sell dresses in there?" Luna asked with this strange look on her face.

"Yes I'm positive. I've been in here before." I opened the door and walked in. The room was warm yet comfortable. The room was light blue and had white vertical stripes. There were different sections of the store. On section was the Magical section. It was divided into three parts: Male, Female and Child. It had ordinary robes, dress robes, work robes and who knows robes. The other section of the store was the muggle section. It to was divided in the same three parts. Only this time it had muggle clothing, special occasion dresses and suits. The last section of the store was costumes. Luna and I walked over to the muggle section. The requirements were dresses not dress robes.

I searched and searched. After a half hour Luna and I decided we had found enough dresses to start trying them on. The first one I found was a pale green dress. It was strapless and gown like. It just barely touched the floor. It tied in the back like a corset. When I tried it on, I didn't like it very much. So I chose the next dress. This was the first white one I had. It was a halter-top and it had a bunched up look at the top. The bottom was an uneven bottom. It looked good and I decided it was a keeper, but I need to try on the other ones first. I got through two of them and both I didn't like how they looked. The last one was a dark blue, more of an indigo color. The top was bunched up like in layers. You could see a little bit of cleavage not enough to want to yell slut. The bottom had three layers to it. The overlapped each other to create a swishy yet still flat bottom. It came to mid calf on my. I zipped up the back and pulled the straps over my shoulders. The straps were the size of then ribbon. I tied the actual blue ribbon around my waist. I was so amazed. I loved the dress.

"Luna, I think I found the dress."

"OHHH let me see."

I walked out into the waiting area. Luna was sitting there with all the dresses and already dressed.

"OH MY GOD! Ginny you so have to get that dress. It looks so good on you."

"Thank you so much. And it only cost 15 galleons. Way under what I planning on spending." I walked back into the changing room and put back on my clothes.

As we were checking our stuff out I asked Luna, "Didn't like any of the dresses?"

"I liked them just not on me. We are going to have to look somewhere else. Sorry."

"Oh no I love looking for dresses. Now lets go shopping."

After a half hour later we finally found her dress. It was kind of short, little over the knee. It was light pink with black lace around the bottom and on the sleeves. The front had black ribbon running though out it. It fit Luna perfectly.

"We have an hour before we're need for the guys. What next?"

"Dress with a side order of shoes and extra jewelry please. Duh, Ginny. What else would we do?"

I found a pair of black dress shoes. It had three thin straps across the foot and one across the back. I also found a necklace that was sterling silver. It three diamonds hanging, one off of each chain. I bought the earrings that matched and a plain silver bracelet.

"Alright we need to go rescue the guys from themselves. OFF WE GO."

Five minutes later we were in the Three Broomsticks at the table with the boys.

Draco hugged me and asked, "Find what you wanted."

"Yes and I will look my ugliest next Saturday."

"No you wont. You will look beautiful no matter what."

"I was being sarcastic Draco. It's you who look ugly."

He feigned being hurt. "Ouch Weasley, me being ugly? That is the worst insult one could say." He then leaned against his chair with a sad face.

"AWWW. I'm sorry Draco. But you love me anyway." I threw my arms around him and rested my head on his shoulder."

"LOVE! Ginny have you gone completely around the bend? First you become friends with Malfoy, then you move in with him, then, then you fall in love. My nightmare is now officially complete." Ron was behind me, and saw the whole ordeal. He was so livid now, that his whole face was purple. Harry and Hermione were behind him looking ready to stop my brother if needed.

"SO WHAT RON! What are you going to do? You can't very well drag me back. Not with both me and my friends after you."

"I was right, you have turned into a whore. I."

Ron didn't get to finish before Draco launched himself upon him. He was punching and spitting. "Ginny…is…not…a…fucking…whore. If…I…ever…hear…you…say…that…again…life…wont…be…worth…living." He said that between each punch. Blaise and I had to drag Draco off Ron. Ron stood up and spit some blood on the floor. Both of his eyes were swelling and purpling very fast. His lip was cut twice and bleeding. It looked like his right cheekbone was broken. He took one look at me and spit at me. "Mum WILL be hearing about this. Mark my words. You filthy little brat." He then walked out of the room. Everyone was staring at the scene we had caused. I then buried my head in Draco's shoulder and cried. My brother hated me and I couldn't stand it.

Back in Draco's room I sat upstairs with Luna. Her and I were just talking about how the war changed things.

"Do you think that's why Ron reacted that way Luna?"

"I honestly couldn't tell. But I think not. I think this is just a power struggle. He'll forgive you. You're his only sister, and that holds a special place in his heart. He's just not used to not having any control or say over what you do. Once he gets used to it, things will be right. But there will always be tension in this relationship. Both of you need to just accept it."

"Thank you Luna." I hugged her really tight.

"No problem, what are best friends for? Now I think Blaise and Draco are expecting us downstairs, and we can't let them be on there own now can we?"

That night we partied and I enjoyed my self. I fell asleep for once in my own bed.
