Also- when i said this story would be done by the release of the six book... I lied...


"Expelliarmus!"

The words bounced off the walls, loud and clear. Draco watched Blaise's wand fly from his hand, then as he flung his whole body after it. Blaise's hands grabbed it, and he instantly jumped to his feet, spinning back to him, as he raised his wand.

His dark eyes held a look of fury in them. Draco had seen his friend angry before, throughout their whole friendship, but nothing at all like this. It caught Draco by utter surprise, even though he hated this boy standing infront of him. Maybe it was because he was in such surprise, he didn't react as quick as needed to Blaise's "Incendio!"

The bottom of Draco's robe erupted in flames. Hastily, he tore off his robe and whipped it down to the stone floor, and he continued to whip it down until the flames died. Without hesistation and without second thought, he shouted, "Stupefy!"

Blaise fell to the ground, stunned.

"Vassiwasi!" Blaise managed out, pointing at a large vase, then to Draco. The vase lifted and flew at Draco's head. His eyes widened and he threw himself down to the floor just. The vase hit the wall and it shattered into dozens of pieces, the pieces rained over Draco, cutting his skin.

"Expelliarmus!" Draco said again as he stood up. He smirked as he saw Blaise's wand fly away from him again. "Stupefy!" And again, Blaise fell to the ground. "Avis." Draco breathed softly and a flock of birds fly at Blaise, swooping around him. He stood there, wand still at the ready as Blaise started to swing his arms around, trying to hit the birds away from him. Draco pushed her hair back as he watched his old fried try to crawl away from the birds toward his wand.

"Accio wand!" Draco shouted quickly and he caught Blaise's wand in his free hand. He watched the birds fly at Blaise's face. A smirk worked it's ways to his lips again.

"Immobulus!" A voice shouted, and the birds around Blaise froze in mid-air. Draco turned around to see who the caster was. He turned to meet an angry looking Ginny.

"Ginny?" He asked with an eyebrow quirked, "What are you doing? Why are you helping him?" Draco demanded.

"I'm not helping him, Draco. I'm not just a prize to be won." She said through gritted teeth, watching Draco.

"No. Of course not... It' s just that-" He drop Blaise's wand, tossing it a few feet away behing him, not wanting Ginny to see that he also took Blaise's wand.

"Just what?"

He scowled, "He wants you, Ginny!"

"So?"

"He can't have you! You can't date him!"

"You don't control me, Malfoy!" She shouted at him.

"I like you! You can't date him!"

Ginny watched Draco, silent for a moment, but regained herself, "I'll date whoever I want to date."

Silence set in between them, and the tension was raised.

"And who do you want to date?" He asked in a softer voice. They stared at eachother in silence. Draco looked into Ginny's eyes, "Who do you want to date?" Ginny dropped her gaze to the ground.

"Potter?"

Ginny shook her head. "No."

"Zabini?"

Again a mumbled, "No."

Draco felt his heart pounding harder. He ventured even further, "Me?"

This time no answer. "Ginny?"

She looked over his shoulder, "Where did Blaise go?"

Draco turned away and stared at the spot where he was at. "I don't know." He looked to where he had threw Blaise's wand, but that was also gone. Slowly, he turned back to Ginny. "What about me?" Draco asked again, taking a step closer. Ginny looked away from Draco. "I didn't mean it...to seem like you were some sort of prize. I just didn't want you to be with him."

"Mmm..."

"I didn't. I don't mean for you to get mad, Ginny... I just..." His voice faded as she looked back to him.

They stared at eachother for a few moments and Draco tilted his head to the side slightly, leaning in closer to her. Ginny leaned forward as well.

"Draco?" A voice called and he scowled and looked over his shoulder. There he saw who interuppted them. Pansy looked surprised.

"Oh, sorry..." She said quietly, asshe turned to leave her friend to what he was doing.

"No." Ginny said, calling Pansy back, "I have to go anyways." And before Draco could protest, Ginny left in a hurry.

Draco watched her go, as a weight as heavy as a canon settled in the pit of his stomach, pulling his heart down with it as well. He took a few steps after her, but she disappeared around a corner. He softly closed his gray eyes before turning around to face Pansy. He was prepared to defend his choices in who he liked, but in his surprise, she said nothing. She even gave a light smile.

"She's replacing me? That's who you've been wondering the corridors for-"

"Enough." Draco cut her off with a firm voice, but he flashed a grin before walking to her. "What do you need?"

Her smile faded, "I ran into Blaise in the owlery."

Draco scowled, thinking Blaise had done something to her, "What happend, Pansy?"

"He seemed out of breath, like he ran all the way there. I asked him what he was in such a hurry for..."

Draco stared, "And?'"

Pansy looked around in a hesitnat way, and put a hand through the ends of her hair, "He told me that he just sent a letter to..."

Draco bent his knees so he was eye level with Pansy. He put his hand on his shoulders, "Sent a letter to who?"

"Your father."
