AN: Sorry 'bout the Looong wait. My motivation to write…or do anything really…seems to have been hiding out in my closet. Maybe it just doesn't like the rain. Anyways, here's the update, hope you like it. Also I think my Malfoy seems a bit ooc, sorry about that. ( also…my dates may not coincide with the days of the weeks, sorry 'bout that.)

And yes FanFicFanatick, my other story is a HP story…also a D/G story.

Chapter 7:

October 25th 9:00 am

We had our first Quidditch match against HufflePuff this last weekend. We won, by a lot 190-40. Ok, so we were tied with Hufflepuff before Harry caught the snitch. But still, we won. Hufflepuff was better than we thought, but their seeker still wasn't anything compared to Harry, or Cedric for that matter. Maybe next year they'll find another Cedric, but I doubt it. I'm a little worried about our next game though, we haven't seen Ravenclaw play yet, seeing as this was the first game of the year, I hope they're not much better than Hufflepuff. I know Slythering is better though, so we're going to have to train hard for that match.

Well, Schools going fine, I've managed to stay out of detention so far, and oddly so has Harry and Ron. Hermione however, well she has her second one of the year tonight. And it's once again with Snape. She's got to find more inconspicuous ways to help Neville during Potions. They have no problem when they're partner projects, but when he wants them each to make their own potion, she always seems to get caught helping Neville. Luckily they don't do individual projects very often in that class.

Oh, there's also a Halloween ball coming up on Halloween, of course. Dumbledore decided that it would be a costume ball, this should be fun. I have no idea what I'm going to go as, but it'll be great fun finding a costume. I think I'll suggest to Hermione that her and Ron go in matching costumes. That'd be so cute. First though, I need to talk to Harry. Ron hasn't asked Hermione to the ball yet. I'm not sure why, their date to Hogsmeade went well enough. And they haven't gotten into any rows since then. So I'll just tell Harry he needs to give Ron a bit of a push.  Nobody has asked me either, but that's okay. I have no problem going stag. Just means I'm free to dance with who I want.

Love,

Ginny

October 25th 12:00pm

I just talked to Ginny on my way to lunch. She thinks I should give Ron a push to asking Hermione to the Halloween Ball. She doesn't want him to wait too long, since they still have to find costumes and all. Dumbledore is giving us an extra Hogsmeade trip on Halloween day so we can all go pick up our costumes, but to make it easier a bunch of catalogs were left in the common rooms. I think I'll talk to Ron after lunch, during Transfiguration. Not the best class for talking in, but McGonagall said last time that she had an important meeting, so we'd get the first half of the period as free time. To study and whatnot. So it'll be alright. I've been thinking I might ask Luna to the ball. We're friends, and she's actually kind of pretty. Plus, I know she won't hang all over me, and we'll have fun. And at least if the ball's not all that entertaining, conversations with Luna always are. I'd just go alone, but since all my friends will probably have dates, I think I'd feel left out. I'm not positive Ginny will have a date, but I can't see her not being asked. Well, I think I'll eat now, don't want to miss lunch completely.

There's a Halloween ball coming up. I wish I could ask Ginny, but I'm sure she'd say no, or think it was part of some scheme to humiliate her or the "trio". When Blaise asked me who I was going to ask, he kept giving me this knowing look. I think he knows about my little infatuation. Oh well, as long as he's the only one. Maybe I can manage to steal one dance though  I hope she's the polite type, you know the type that won't turn down a dance, even if she doesn't like the person, just because it would be rude. I bet she is, she may be a Weasley, but even the Weasley's surely teach their daughters the appropriate way to act at social functions. I've seen she has a fiery temper, but if I try to stay on her good side, we may be able to have one nice dance. Guess I'll see. Although, if she goes with Potter, my plan is screwed. No way he'd let his date dance with his rival.

Guess I'll just focus on my costume for now. Maybe I'll bring a date, just to keep my reputation. I'm Draco Malfoy, I don't go stag to dances. Not Pansy though. Maybe some timid girl that won't get on my nerves too much. I could always ask Blaise's little sister, she's got a thing for this Ravenclaw kid I kind of know. I could always use this night to play matchmaker. Yeah, I think I'll do that.

October 25th 7:00pm

Sigh One more hour until I go to detention with Snape. How do I keep ending up in detention? I just don't get it. I'm supposed to be the good one. Although if Snape would just let me help Neville, maybe this wouldn't happen. It's weird though…he didn't take off any points this time. Usually he takes off points, and then if I continue to help he gives me detention. He didn't even really sound upset with me. It was weird. I'm sitting in the common room with Harry, Ginny and Ron at the moment. They're working on their homework. I already finished mine. Except my Potions essay, but I wanted to ask Professor Snape something about it before finishing it. So I'll do it in the morning. Ginny's actually not working on hers either, she also finished already. She's going through one of the catalogs looking for a costume. She keeps pausing on certain pages and looking at me and Ron as though imagining the costumes on us. I have a feeling she'll have a big say in my costume for the ball. But Ron hasn't even asked me yet, I'm not even sure he will. Well, I won't let my hopes get down just yet. There's still six days till the ball. I just hope he asks soon so I have time to find my costume. Actually, I think I'll join Ginny looking through those catalogs. As well as see if I can find out who she's going with. 

Love,

Hermione

I just loss to Ron at wizards chess, as usual. Ginny challenged him to a game, so I thought it'd be a good time to write. I talked to Ron about asking Hermione. He said he plans to do it tonight after her detention. Kind of as a "pick me up" for her after suffering through detention with Snape. I think that's a great idea, I'm quite shocked that Ron of it actually. I'm going to ask Luna tomorrow after Charms, she has it right after me, so I'll just wait at the charms room till she gets there. I have a free period after that class, so it won't be a problem. Well, Ginny just beat Ron and wants to go against me, so I guess I'm done here.

-Harry

October 25th 8:45pm

Ginny and Harry are playing Wizards chess right now, so I'm going to write in here. I asked them if they could clear out before Hermione got back from detention. I want to ask her to the Ball without a bunch of people crowding around. Everyone seemed really happy to stay out of the common room for me. It's weird that nobody complained about it. I hope she says yes.

-Ron

October 25th 9:15pm

I'm up in my dorm right now, I kind of want to be down by the fire, I don't feel like sleeping yet, but Ron asked us to clear out. He's asking Hermione to the Halloween Ball, and wanted some privacy. I figure if I still feel like sitting by the fire, I can head down when Ron comes up to the dorm. I'm actually going to the ball with a date myself. Susan Bones asked me during Herbology today. We partner up in that class a lot, but I never knew she liked me. It should be fun, she's going to pick out our costumes, because she wants to wear matching ones, and she's probably better at that stuff than me. Oh, here's Ron, that didn't take too long. He's smiling, she must've said yes.

-Neville

October 25th 9:30pm

RON ASKED ME! We're going to the ball together, I'm so excited. Oh yeah, detention went fine. Professor Snape just had me help him grade some essays and let me finish writing my essay. It was an oddly lenient punishment I thought. Oh well.

Love,

Hermione

Ps. I can't wait to tell Ginny 

October 25th, 9:30pm

SHE SAID YES!

-Ron

AN: Please Review! I hope you all liked it.
