A/N: Thanks for staying with me! Thank you to my reviewers! I am in the process of updating all of these chapters to make them cleaner. And I'm doing it just for you! Anyway, read on.

Pansy has to be the most vacuous and annoying girl ever, Draco thought to himself. He walking about aimlessly, listening to the leaves crunch under his feet. The crisp air made a burning feeling in his throat. He ignored it.

Standing next to a very crippled looking tree he spotted Ginny. He watched her change from standing to letting her knees give way and sitting on her butt. Then she let her head fall into her hands and her body shook. Curiosity having overwhelmed the quiet onlooker, he crept up to her.

Draco was standing over Ginny's small form waiting for her to notice. When she did finally she fell back onto her hands. "W-What do you want?" She stuttered.

He let out a little laugh, "Oh, I just came by to discuss a certain cauldron."

Ginny gained some composure and managed to stand up. "Yes, well, I want my cauldron back," she said lamely.

"Yes, I know that," Draco said letting the 'duh' go unsaid. "Why were you crying?"

"That is NONE of your business! You want to talk about a fucking pot, so go ahead right ahead!" Ginny was sure everyone had heard her but she overestimated her yell, though it was quite loud.

"Well, well, someone is moody. I do not feel this is the best of times to talk about the 'fucking pot' so I will leave," he began to walk away.

"No, no no! You have my cauldron. I want it back. Now tell me what you want in return for the cauldron, which is pretty dam crappy by the way so don't expect THAT much for it."

"First, tell me why you were crying," before Ginny could protest her spoke over her, "as part of the exchange."

Ginny looked peeved, she took in a breath and let it out slowly. "I was crying because I was upset." She hoped that being general would be all that was needed. However Draco made a hand movement implying he needed more information than that. "After having lost my cauldron to you, and the…encounter with you,"

"Oh, the kiss you mean?" he cut her off.

"Yes the kiss. After that I wanted to go to my room, I entered the common room and Hermione, that bitch, was making fun of me as usual. Well, no it wasn't her making fun of me, she was just laughing."

Draco coaxed her, his head to the side, "Who was?"

Ginny let out a small laugh, "as if you had to ask. It was Harry. Ya know for some demi- god he's an ass," she said with a laugh.

"And here I thought I was the only one who noticed," Draco thought to himself.

"How about an offer?" Draco asked her.

Ginny looked curious and so he continued.

"You can get back at him. Put that rat in the same position you're in. It'll make him a better person in the end," Draco offered that last part as a rationale for the little Weasely.

"Quid pro quo." Ginny stated emotionlessly knowing there was a downside.

"Don't worry about that," he said almost cryptically.

Ginny knew there were strings, she knew that there were consequences but just then she felt something change in her. She didn't care about the later, she let her reckless side drive and she agreed.

Draco let his evil appear on his face. "Great."
