A/N: Thank you LadyGinervaMalfoy! Oh I am so glad that you got that! When I showed this chapter to a friend of mine they hated the fact Draco was asking for money but I said just what you did! He's still got some evil in him. C'mon, he can't be perfect! Besides he would be no fun if he wasn't evil. And I am not saying anything about the baby idea but good job being on your toes. Thank you Jewels03! I appreciate your review!

Ginny was sitting in the Great Hall because she didn't want to be anywhere else. It was past lunch and not yet dinner so the place was completely empty. In her solitude she was thinking a habit that she wanted so much to quit. She had some parchment out, a quill and a book but wasn't doing her work. She was staring intently at the light brown paper. She was wondering what the hell was going on in her life. She was recounting everything that had happened to her so far. She had kissed Draco twice; she slapped Harry, and smacked one of the meanest Slytherin girls in the head. It was only the first half of the year and she had already had so much excitement. Then she realized that's just what it was, exciting. It was exciting to kiss someone you're not supposed to. It was exciting to stand up for yourself. It was exciting, also, to be rid of any feelings for Harry. She had never been happier than just then. She was taken from her thoughts by a familiar voice.

"Ms. Weasely. Why so alone?"

"Hello Professor Dumbledore! I was just," Ginny began.

"Thinking. I could tell. You haven't moved for near 20 minutes," he said through his flowing beard.

Ginny looked down and blushed slightly.

"No need to be embarrassed Ms. Weasely. I wish more young students would stop a minute to think."

"Thank you Professor." Ginny smiled up at him.

"I couldn't help but hear what happened today," Dumbledore began.

"Oh God," Ginny said in a small voice as her head looked down again smile gone.

"I'm not here to reprimand you. From what I've been told Professor Snape has taken good care of that," He said in knowing voice.

"Yea, you could say that." Ginny laughed.

"However I am here to say that I don't want you to go around beating people up," and before Ginny could groan he bent down and said in low voice, "Good job though."

Dumbledore walked away to the front of the Great Hall where Professor Flitwick was trying to fix the Christmas tree. Ginny hadn't even noticed that Flitwick was there at all. She wondered if she had actually heard Dumbledore say that. Noticing the time Ginny ran off.

Draco was folding up his laundry and putting it away. When he found a shirt he had been looking for weeks. "Alright," he said before he heard his door slam open.

"Look what that bitch did to me!" Pansy screamed at him while pointing to her head.

"What are talking about?" Draco asked uninterested.

"That fucking Weasely girl! Just look!" she kept pointing.

When Draco had heard her say that his head snapped up all the sudden interested. "What did she do?"

"She slammed me in head with her textbook for no reason!" Pansy whined.

Draco walked up and looked at the massive bruise on that started at the side of Pansy's forehead and continued all the way past her ear. "Well, at least most of it's covered."

"But everyone saw!" she yelled.

Draco turned back to his drawer to stuff more clothes in there, "I'm sure not everyone. I mean I didn't see it."

"Where does she get the balls to do this to me? The most popular girl in school!" Pansy was almost crying but completely faking it.

'Don't flatter yourself,' Draco thought. "I don't know. But what do you want me to do about it?"

"I want sympathy! I want you to care damn it!" Pansy marched up to him resting her hands on her hips.

He looked at her. "Well, I'm sorry but you are going to be disappointed."

She gave him a dirty look and then said defiantly, "Fine! I'll get sympathy from someone else."

"Okay," Draco said unfazed at her 'threat.'

Pansy left his room clearly put out.

Draco flopped on his bed not so much tired but bored. A thin strand landed in his face he tried to blow it out of his eyes and in his frustration he rose up and shook his head. He jumped up out of bed and left his room sick of being in there. He really had no where to go, no where to be so he strolled around. Draco was looking at the old stone walls that lined each and every hallway. He noticed the little cracks and holes. With his hands in his pockets he continued down not thinking about anything in particular. Then he was roused from his sort of dream like state by a body barreling into him, knocking him to the ground. Due to the force of the hit Draco was out for a second. His eyes snapped open to see someone kneeling over him but the light from the window behind the two made it impossible for him to see anything but a silhouette.

"I'm sorry! Are you okay?" the figure asked offering its hand.

Draco took it and stood up. "Yea, I'm fine. Just a little surprised." When he was fully erect the light was blocked and he saw that it was the littlest Weasely that had hit into him. "Weasely."

"Malfoy."

The two stood there until finally Draco spoke up saying, "I'm sorry about earlier. I guess I should've helped you out there."

"Don't even worry about it. If I remember correctly it wasn't you who slung me over your shoulder."

"That was actually pretty funny," Draco said laughing.

Ginny laughed with him, "I bet."

"So I heard about your new use for a textbook." Draco smirked.

"Uh, yea, I think everyone did."

"Probably. You know them and their gossip." He gave her a knowing look.

Ginny returned the look obviously understanding the reference. "About that…"

"Its ancient history," Draco interrupted brushing it away.

"Really? You don't even want to know what that was about." Ginny asked sincerely.

"Oh I know what it was about. I'm the best looking guy in school so naturally," another classic Draco smirk.

"That was it," Ginny laughed.

"So where were you rushing to anyway?"

"Oh, um…I don't even remember." Ginny felt dumb for admitting it so either she hit her head hard on the fall or she was distracted by him. Ginny denied the second guess and accepted the first.

"You knocked me down for nothing!" Draco said in a faux hurt voice.

"Well not on purpose!"

"That doesn't change the fact of you knocking me down."

"Are we actually fighting about this?" Ginny asked with a smile.

Draco paused, "Yes."

"Wanna go outside?" Ginny looked at her shoes in a shy manner.

"Did you ask me to go somewhere?" Draco gave her a cocky smirk thinking she would be embarrassed and blush which he really loved…wait no he didn't, did he?

"Indeed I did. So you in," Ginny began and walked toward him, leaned in and continued, "Or are you out?" If he was going to play with her she was going to play with him. She didn't wait for a verbal answer and went on down the hallway. In a brief moment of weakness she looked back and found Draco running up to her, "In."

A/N: Lots of dialogue. Really appreciated the reviews. Thank you so much! Please keep 'em coming. Much Love!
