A note as a starter

Ginny almost fell off the toiletseat due to her laughter. She wondered why she hadn't talked to Myrtle earlier, because when you once gave the girl a chance she was hilarious, and didn't moan much at all.

It also turned out that she was an exceptionnel listener.

"...And that's what happened. I can never look him in the eyes again."

"You and Draco Malfoy," Moaning Myrtle said and let out a strange cry. "what a team."

"Team?" Ginny exclaimed, "What are you talking about?"

"Two persons, who finally would stand a chance against the golden trio." Myrtle answered and sat down in one of the washbasins.

"Don't you understand?" Ginny said and sighed. "we wont talk to each other ever again."

"Pleease Ginny, You were drunk and kissed, it isn't as if it meant something, right?"

After Ginny had told her the whole story with the dares and all it had led to Myrtle had told her to let it be for a few weeks, and then they would think of something. Ginny believed that Myrtle had learned a few tricks during her years in the bathroom, eavesdropping on the female students (and sometimes male too).

"Soo," the ghost said and took off her glasses. "have you talked to him yet?"

Ginny looked at Myrtle confused. "But," she exclaimed. "you said I should let it all be."

"What if I did?" Myrtle answered and shook her shoulders. "does it really matters? You should act after intuition."

"And you did, when you chose this toilet to weep on when they'd bullied you?"

"Oh, sod off will you. That's not what we're talking about."

Ginny sighed and looked up at Myrtle who was sitting on the toiletdoor. "I've been avoiding him for so long now Myrtle, don't know if I can much longer. You know, it's so strange, because I'm kind of missing him in a way, even though he's still a spineless, disgiusting git. Before I had something to look forward to, you know the dares, there was a security that something would happen, something exciting and—"

"But why then don't you just go and give him a dare?" Myrtle cut her off, obviously sick of the ramble.

"It isn't that easy Myrtle. We havn't talked for a month, and what should I dare him to do?"

Myrtle leaned out to take a look at the clock, and when she returned her gaze to Ginny she seemed quite stressed. "You're witty Ginny, I'm sure you'll come up with something," she said before vanishing. "Oh, sorry, I have a meeting with Nick."

Ginny smiled and shook he head as she took her bag and stood up. She noticed the time and decided to, for the first time in a while, have lunch in the Great Hall (lately there had been no time for lunch, just studies). She exited the bathroom and slowly made her way downstairs while thinking of possible dares she could, without feeling awkward, give Draco. 'Maybe I should give him an easy one,' she thought. 'as a restart.'

And then, she knew it. A big smile grew on her lips as she realised that she actually had the power to make Draco do whatever she wanted. He was way too proud to ignore a dare, she knew that, and even though they had played the game for quite a while, she hadn't really thoguht about it as anything but just a plain game.

Excited she entered the Great Hall, she was so deep down in her own thoughts that she didn't even glance towards the Slytherin table, and therefore she didn't notice how a certain blonde was watching her in the corner of his eyes. She just made her way to her table and slid down on an empty seat next to Harry who smiled at her before he returned his attention towards Ron who was telling him a rather hilarious story.

With a piece of pie in her right hand Ginny started to rummage in her bag after a pen and a piece of paper. 'why does my belongings always vanish?' she thought as she gave up her search and poked Harry who turned around.

"You have a piece of paper?" she asked and took a sip of pumpkin-juice as Harry nodded and reached down fo his bag. "A pen would be lovely too." Ginny added and a few seconds later she found herself writing down a short message. She didn't notice, though, that Harry was watching her.

"What are you writing?" he asked her and gave her a confused look as she obviously tried to hide the note.

"Oh," Ginny said and handed him his pen. "nothing, just a reminder. There's so much to do these days, and I'm usually forgetting things."

"You're right," Harry answered and gave her a crooked smile. "but why don't you tell me what it is, and I'll remind you of it later? I mean, you could lose the note."

Ginny hesitated, he obviously thought that she was up to something, everybody seemed to think that. It wasn't a surprise though, she was spending a lot of time at Myrtle's bathroom, and everyone knew what had happened there a few years earlier, and in what way Ginny had been involved. "It's..." she said slowly and tried to come up with something to say. "girlstuff! Yea, girlstuff."

"Oh," Harry said and Ginny could see how his cheeks grew a faint red colour. "then, well-"

"Thank you anyways," Ginny said and placed her hand on his arm, but in the corner of her eyes she saw a flash of green and blonde and realised she was in a hurry. "Oh, I really got to go now Harry, but I'll see you!"

She gave Harry a peck on his cheek and then she bolted off.

The plan was to- well, actually she didn't really have a plan, but Ginny felt optimistic so she just followed the Slytherin gang out of the Great Hall, and by the way, was Dracolimping? It was then she saw Luna, and thanked the gods.

"Luna, wait!" she exclaimed, and hurried towards the friend who impatiently had stopped. Oh, how Draco Malfoy was oblivious to the fact that he was right in Ginny's way, so that when she could have passed him on his left, she instead bumped against him and could unnoticed slid the note down his pocket.

"Sorry," she said smiling and looked straight at Draco which after she hurried up the stairs to Luna.

I never thought that I would upload this fast this time, but I did. Probably it was because all of you that wrote reviews that you really disagreed with the previous chapter, which is quite good, because it confused you, and now you have no idea where I'm going! (think so at least).

Anyways, I don't know how long this one will be, but at least I'm getting quite near the end now, and I absolutely know how to finish it.

Review please.
