A/N: Sorry for the huge gap in updating. Life has been pretty crazy around here. Anyway please review some more. But still a tremendous thank you to those that do!
Draco was bouncing the sack of money in his hand. Not only was he weighing the money but mentally he was weighing the offer. He had already accepted but he was curious why he had accepted it so readily, well, readily for him. His eyes watched the sack jump up and fall back into his hand where it would only then be repelled again into the air. He stopped the motion, "Interesting."
"Ugh, school," Ginny said in a half asleep and cynical tone.
"When you say it like that it sounds a million times worse. Be positive!" Mary directed.
'Ugh, school!" Ginny said in a faux enthusiastic voice.
"Not quite the point Gin."
Ginny's fame had some what subsided but the rumors were still alive and well. It was so much fun to hear the rumor about you told to you, Ginny thought. So, if she kept up with her own news she was now a spy working against the Malfoy's trying to dig up their skeletons hence why she kissed Draco. In whole honesty, however, Ginny couldn't blame them. When she was a shy, invisible first year she believed all the rumors about everyone. Her life now was so contradictory to her life only a couple of years ago. She should probably talk to Draco about it. No, pretending like it never happened is a million times better. He'll be confused and then driven by pure curiosity he'll bring it up thus giving Ginny the upper hand. Her mind was already coming up with a game plan for their next conversation which could very well be 2 months from this point. No matter! That would only give her more time to prepare.
Later on that day Ginny was doingher never ending stack of work lying on the table in the library. The room was completely devoid of any noises except from the constant scratch of pens on parchment. That being the only noise it amplified itself in her mind and making her so distracted she had read the same damn page twice! One of two things could result, A: complete madness or B: using the old, "Fuck it! I can do it later," line. Ginny being the big fan she was of procrastination obviously selected B.
She jumped up from the hard chair and grabbed a book off the shelf. She wasn't too concerned with what the book was about, she just grabbed one. She opened it up and flipped through the pages. While doing this a piece of parchment drifted to the ground. It was folded only once and seemed old. It was a simple note. The person who wrote it was probably dating the person they were sending it too. Gin guessed this by the fact there was some, 'honey,' 'sweetheart' and the like.
"Ginerva."
Ginny quickly folded the note and held it her hands behind her back. "Yes?"
Draco walked towards her with his usual apathetic mentality. "I see your homework is having fun collected dust."
"Better it than me," Ginny said in her own indifferent tone.
Draco raised his eyebrow as sort of an unspoken touché. "On the contrary you have only just begun to shake off your dust," Draco said clearly though in the required hush tone that was demanded in a library.
"Excuse me?" Ginny uttered having heard him but maintaining the contrary.
Draco did a sort of eye roll, grabbed her wrist and walked out of the library. When they were sufficient enough of a distance away he continued: "You heard me."
Ginny didn't want to lose her own edge in the discussion but she could see it slipping away. When it doubt, don't say anything Ginny thought. But she wanted to know why he said that. "Why do you care?"
"No one said I did." Draco's eye looked colder than ice.
"What's with you? You're so hot and cold all the time. I can't keep up."
"Aren't you the hypocrite? You hate me, then kiss me, then you act like nothing happens and THEN you start accusing me of being hot and cold," Draco said incredulously. "You're unbelievable."
"Well, believable is boring," Ginny said simply as she started to walk away.
That didn't go according to plan but she did get the last word in. The group had forgotten about the kiss (or as close to forgotten as they'd get) but Ron was still being a little crazy. Who are you with? Where are you going? Why? When? He needed to calm the hell down. Though maybe he would now that he and Mary were together. They were a pretty cute couple and Ginny was happy for them and all. But if Mary rattled on about Ron any more Ginny might have to go deaf.
The tensions between her and Hermione had eased in a way. She hardly ever saw her. Harry and Hermione were constantly hanging out and snogging somewhere. Ginny didn't care at all. Harry isn't happy if every else is getting some and he's not. That really pissed her off. Everyone's emotions revolved around how Harry felt. "It's been like that forever why change it now," she thought aloud.
She was rounding the corner and almost to the portrait hole. "Ahh!" she screamed as she closed her eyes. "I'm blind!"
"Shut it Gin!" Mary shouted.
"I'm scared for life!" Ginny was only kidding and Ron picked up on it but Mary took it very personally.
"You don't scream at Harry and Hermione!" Mary said in defense.
"Mary, chill. I was kidding. It's not like I haven't seen my brother kiss anyone before."
Mary pouted and Ginny dragged her in through the hole apologizing the whole way.

Draco closed the book on his desk and rubbed his eyes. Two seconds later some one put their hands over his eyes. "Guess who?" the voice asked innocently.
Draco flipped the person around to the front, "I didn't expect-" Draco stopped when he realized that it was Pansy. Draco wondered why he thought it was someone else but more importantly who. He most definitely didn't want to think about it.
"Who were you expecting?" Pansy asked in a little girly voice.
"The most beautiful girl in school. Have you seen her?" Draco said while dogging his head in a mock representation of him looking for someone.
"You ass!" Pansy said as she pulled him into a kiss. Draco received it gladly and was looking forward to the night ahead….
A/N: Ron and Mary kissed. Draco sleeps with Pansy. Harry and Hermione making out. Everyone is getting some action except Ginny. Well, I'll just have to fix that.; ) REVIEW I WILL NOT UPDATE IF THERE ARE NO REVIEWs even one will do.
