Problems in Life
I am basing this story on a roleplay that was on neopets the other day so it may be kind of weird. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I'm sure you already know that I do not own the Harry Potter characters, but my friend owns her made up in this story. That leaves me with nothing still. - -'

Harry placed the vial filled with the potion he made on Prof. Snape's desk violently. His jet black hair was messier than usual as he straightened himself up, glaring at Snape. He was tired of having Occlumency with him and now he was just finishing it and had to make his potion all over when Neville knocked it over running out of his class. On the other hand Snape just returned the glare and roared, "GET OUT MR. POTTER!" pointing to the door that led out to the dungeons. Harry walked out and slammed the door behind him leaving the angry Potions teacher behind. He walked out onto the grounds and passed a group of girls giggling and pointing at him. He walked faster to the Quidditch Pitch. He still was getting over what happened to his godfather, Sirius last year in the Department of Mysteries. Oh, great he had broken into Snape's mind again. He didn't want to really see Snape going in the boys bathroom cursing about what he had done in potions so he shook his head. Tommorrow was Quidditch tryouts and Valentines day. A hogsmeade trip was going to be held in most of the afternoon and surprisingly a dance tommorrow night.

Laying on the edge of the lake was Ginny Weasley, youngest, and only daughter of the Weasley clan. She had her mind all on tommorrow and who she would go with. Definitly not Dean. He had broken up with her last week to go out with Luna Lovegood for no slight reason. Maybe because she said something or Luna was more interesting by her dad being head of 'The Quibbler' and her going into the Department of Mysteries. Well, Ginnys dad was in the Ministry and she went into the Department of Mysteries too. "Well, there goes a date for tommorrow" she mumbled as she ran her hand through her red hair. Oh now I know why, cause Dean probably doesn't like my red hair she thought. Well she was at least glad that Quidditch tryouts were going to be held tommorrow morning. She sighed deeply and looked at a hole in her jeans. Her mom had sewed the other holes in her jeans but that one. She was wearing a red t-shirt and jeans. All hand me down from her brothers. And surprise her shoes weren't hand me downs. Since she did so well last year her mom decided to get her one decent new thing. Of course, she sometimes wished she wasn't the youngest cause she got all the hand me downs. Her brothers were over protective of her, and she was still treated like a baby girl. For gods sake, she was 15 already!
Vanessa sat in her favorite armchair in the common room. She was what most peaple thought, was reading a book. But she wasn't. She was bored and was just looking at the small pictures on the pages till she snapped out of her bored world when she heard Draco yelling at Crabbe and Goyle, who were looking over his shoulder. "Will you stay out of MY bisness?" he yelled and the two dumbheads nodded and stepped back onto some chairs near a table. Vanessa laughed silently. Yes, she was a slytherin like Draco but had a crush on the famous harry Potter, which was weird for a Slytherin to describe. No one knew, but she was thinking that a certain little red head girl slightly knew about her obsession with him. That meant competition to win Harry. Even though Harry never noticed her, she was going to get his attention today before that Weasley ever will. She noticed Draco looking at her, "What is so funny?" he asked knowing he heard her laugh.
"Oh, the way you yelled at the Dim wits" Vanessa said her blue eyes looking over into his grey ones, showing she wasn't scared. Crabbe and Goyle looked at her mumbling that they weren't dimwits.
"Yeah, they are, and it seems you don't fear me" he said smirking.
"Well of course not or else I wouldn't be in Slytherin, would I?"Vanessa said laughing.
"Well, no but some Slytherins fear me" Draco said, "They know I'm the Slytherin Prince and always be."
"Not always wait till your son comes here and takes your place" Vanessa said smiling.
"Or Daughter" Draco said wondering why he even said that.
"Yeah, well I have to see someone about now so I'll see you later Draco" Vanssa said placing her book down, getting up and left the common room for the grounds.
Harry wandered over to the lake to sit under the oak tree. He looked at the place where he saw the girls earlier and they were still there. He looked away and back at the lake. He wanted someone to talk to right now, one of his friends at least someone who understood his problems. That was mostly Ginny, Neville, and Luna. Luna would probably right now be reading 'The Quibbler' on the Quidditch Pitch upside down for all he knew. Neville probably hanging out with Lavender. But he didn't imangine Ginny doing anything with anyone. Maybe she was hanging out with her boyfriend Dean. He then noticed Ginny laying near the lake and was about to call her over when he saw someone out of the corner of his eye running straight towards him. It was a girl but he never seen her before nor reconized her.
Vanessa noticed Harry sitting under the oak tree alone and started running right towards him. Now is my chance to get him away from that Weasley girl she thought happily stopping beside him. "Um...hi Harry, can I sit down?" she said smiling at him.
"Uhhh sure" Harry said as she nodded and sat close to him. "Do I know you?" he asked nicely.
"Um, I'm not sure if you do" Vanessa said, "But I'm Vanessa Pricket."
"Well, hi Vanessa" Harry said softly, "How do you know my name?"
"Well, I'm sure the whole school knows your name by the scar" Vanessa said laughing softly.
"Well, yeah" Harry said slightly smiling.
Ginny turned her head when she heard someone running not to far from her and saw a Slytherin girl, Vanessa running towards harry, who was looking kinda confused. "Now she's trying to steal him, I don't think so" she mumbled and sat up in her spot. She knew she had a crush on Harry like she did and knew Vanessa was going to get him if she didn't do something. She then noticed Malfoy coming out of the school and smirked, "Time for a competition Vanessa." Ginny stood up and walked slowly over smiling, "Hey Harry, Vanessa" Ginny said sitting down in front of them.
Draco saw Vanessa sitting very close to Potter and wandered what in Merlins name he was doing to her. Then he notice Weasley over there too. He decided to play a little game and stood beside potter, "Well, if it isn't Potty and Weasel-B" he said smirking at Harry.
Harry turned to face draco, "What do you want Malfoy!" he said glaring at him.
Vanessa considered this a distration to tell ginny off, "He's mine Ginny!" she whispered leaning close to Ginny, glaring at her.
"not if i get him first!" Ginny replied glaring back.
"For one, what are you trying to do to Vanessa?" Draco said reffering to the part where he was close to her.
"She made that decision and I don't know her!" harry snapped.
"Oh, I'm sure you know that she is my friend!" Draco said.
"Oh, I'll get him Weasley I always get my boys!" Vanessa said smirking. She always won her crushes heart against another girl, so she had experience meaning that getting Harry would be easy like the other boys. But she didn't know that Harry had kind of fancied Ginny after Cho had recently dumped him last year. No one knew yet but planned on telling her how muched he fancied her tommorrow when he would ask her to Hogsmeade tommorrow morning in the common room.
Ginny slightly frowned at what Vanessa said but didn't have nothing to say when she heard draco say something, "Come on Vanessa lets go" he said and she just nodded but gave Ginny a smirk that told her that she had a plan to win harry over. Love is a battlefield, and the battle had just begun.
Harry turned back to Ginny and smiled before saying, "Hey, so what did you and Vanessa talk about?" he asked.
"Ohhh, we were talking about who was going to win this guys heart" Ginny said trying to drop a hint or two, but returned the smile.
Harry not understanding girls most of the time just nodded. She doesn't like me, seriously she wouldn't wait for me to like her after all these years passed to ask her...how dumb can I get? he thought. "So going with anyone special tommorrow?" he asked.
"Oh, yeah but he hasn't asked me yet so I'm not sure if I am even going with anyone" Ginny said dropping another hint.
"Oh, thats cool same with me" Harry replied.
Ginny smiled slightly. He don't like me he just notices me as his best friends sister, just a normal friend like Hermione and Ron she thought sadly but didn't show it. "So you think Ron and Hermione will go together?" she asked changing the topic to her brother and Hermione.
"I hope, I'm getting sick of getting stuck between their fighting and such, why don't they just tell their real feelings?" Harry said sighing.
"Well Ron has no experience, and well Hermione has never really showed her true feelings to anyone nor really told anyone but me about her feelings for peaple" Ginny said.
"Wow, I guess she really trusts you" Harry said smilng a little.
"Yeah, and I guess Ron trusts you to tell his feelings for girls?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Yep, hey maybe we could pair them up!" Harry said straightening up.
"It might just work, but what would we do to get them together?" Ginny asked leaning back on her hands.
"Are you always asking questions?" Harry teased.
"Yes, is that a porblem, Mr.Potter?" Ginny teased back.

Ron landed on the ground tiredly. He had praticed over an hour now and thanked Dean for helping him today and recieved one of Hermione hugs from her. He hugged her backed and watched Dean leave with Luna hand in hand. He was sure they stopped and started snogging and went behind one of the dark stands to not let anyone see. "Nice practice Ron" Hermione said, "You are getting pretty musular from all of this praticing."
Ron looked down and felt his ears turn pink when he heard Hermione. He noticed her red as his hair and laughed, "Yeah, thanks Hermione"
Hermione nodded slightly and looked up at him. She blushed a deeper magenta and kissed him on the lips for a few seconds before pulling away and running off towards the castle. Ron touched his lips softly and watched Hermione run to the castle and disappear behind the big doors. He smiled, "She likes me back" he mumbled and ran after her. He bumped into Ginny, knocking her down on her butt, but continued running after Hermione.
Ginny moaned as she fell to the ground and landed on her butt with a thud slightly and was pulled back up by two hands grabbing her wrists. She glanced at Ron running inside and thanked Harry softly. "What is so important that he didn't need to say sorry?" she asked confused.
"Well Hermione ran past here a few seconds ago crying and blushing a very very deep red. Wonder if they kissed." Harry said smiling brightly.
"I hope so or I will kill Ron for not saying sorry." Ginny said laughing. They took a glance at the Qudditch Pitch and saw Dean and Luna walking up to them.
"Hey Harry, Ginny" Dean said smiling at Harry and looked at Ginny.
"Hey Dean" Harry said and looked over at Ginny to see her not replying at all. She just looked at the two softly. Wonder what is up with Ginny, he thought, isn't she going out with Dean?
Ginny just nodded softly and just felt like bursting into tears. She kind of missed Dean and wanted to know why he went with Luna at all. "So uh... whats up?" Dean asked.
"Nothing at all" Harry said.
Ginny spoke up softly, "Same" she said and looked down. "Listen I need to get back to the common room." With that said, she ran straight inside the castle not even saying bye to them.
Dean sighed and shook his head. Luna looked at her watch. "I need to go to the library...see you guys" she said, waved and walked inside.
"Okay...what is up with Ginny?" Harry asked confused at Ginnys sudden behavior change.
"I kind of knew she might do that..." Dean said half answering his friends question. "I said and did something last week to her..."
"Oh, what was it?" Harry asked more confused. What would Dean do to hurt his own girlfriend? he thought.
"Well, it started last Friday...I was talking to Ginny in the hall one day when Luna came up and said that I needed to talk to her for a few minutes. I said bye to Ginny and went to talk with Luna after that and she said to me that she had an extra ticket to that new band 'The Witches Brew.' Well, I wanted to go and she said okay but on one condition. I was said okay what was it and said that I had to break up with Ginny and date her to go or not go at all. Well, I thought of getting my own tickets so me and Gin could go but Luna said that she got the last of the tickets and that the concert was the next day" Dean said, "So I had no choice so I made the deal and went to bed wondering how to break up with her. Saturday morning I broke up with her lying that I liked Luna a bit more than I did with Ginny. She refused to believe me cause she knew I was lying. Well, I said that I hated her and would never go out with her no more and you know that necklace that I gave her?" Harry nodded slowly. "Well she pulled it off and threw it on the ground and ran up the girls dorm in tears. She barely has talked or went near me since." Dean finished and looked at Harry.
Harry looked at his friend in shock, "I can't believe you broke up with Gin to go to one lousy concert to hear a band play!" he said.
"Not just to hear the band play those tickets were back stage passes to the band and we got shirts, necklaces, and all time signature harry...it was awesome!" Dean said.
Harry glared at Dean, "Ginny is my friend too and I care for her like any other friend...I would never do or say that to my girlfriend! Never in my life!" Harry yelled, "You better apologize Dean or she will avoid you forever." Dean nodded and watched harry leave to go inside the castle. Harry was right. He was stupid to do that, he really didn't hate Ginny and would still date her. With that done, Dean walked slowly up to the castle wondering how he was going to ever apologize to his ex-girlfriend, Ginny Weasley.
Ginny sat on her four poster bed in the girls dorm with her roommates. They noticed darkness taking over the sky outside so they started getting ready for bed. Ginny was the last to go into the bathroom to change into her pajamas before going to bed. She came out in a blue tank top and red capri pajama bottoms. She crawled into bed and said goodnight to the remaining girls that weren't asleep yet and just laid down waiting for sleep to take over her.
Harry was still talking with Neville, Ron, Seamus, and sometimes Dean way after the girls went to sleep. But soon they saw Neville sleeping in his bed, deciding that they should do the same. The boys changed into pajamas or just took off there shirt, and went to sleep in there four poster bed. Dean laid down trying to sleep, but was half failing. He felt asleep but could still hear reality.
Harry had pulled his curtains around his poster bed to sit up in his bed and think about what Dean had said this evening. Soon he was sleeping in the same position, leaning against the bed frame. Dean thinking everyone was asleep, got up and went down to the common room to see pitch black darkness since the fire had let out. He could barely see anything, but could see the outlines of furniture. The only thing he didn't see was a bag of someones laid out on the floor he was about to trip on. There was a loud THUD that vibrated the common room and maybe the dorm rooms as Dean fell over the bag and hit his head on an armchair which fell backwards and knocked over one of the tables. "Ow, that hurt!" Dean whimpered softly putting his hand on his head.
Ginny jolted up when she heard something down in the common room. She glanced around the room to see all the girls sleeping and thought it might be a intruder or one of the boys. She grabbed her wand and walked quietly down the stairs. "Who's there?" she called out softly.
Harry woke up feeling a faint vibration shake the floor, got up and noticed Deans bed empty. He walked downstairs knowing that Dean caused it, not even caring to not put on a shirt cause it was just a boy. "Dean what did you do now?" he asked.
"Oh, good...someone turn on a light to see what I caused please?" Dean said frantically.
"No problem" Ginny said. Harry opened his eyes wide. He had no shirt on and Ginny was down here! "Lumos!" she called and looked to see an armchair, table, and Dean on the floor.
Dean thanked her and turned to Harry, "Harry, little help please?" he asked. Ginny turned to see Harry standing in front of the staircase that led to the boys dorm and gaped when she saw him He had no shirt on! He has abs! Quidditch did pretty darn good for Harry's chest Ginny thought, Wonder how tough his abs are...if I can just feel those muscles...Woah! PG13 Ginny! she thought and giggled.
Harry turned to see Ginny staring at him and noticed her giggling as well. Harry nodded at Dean and helped him up. He lifted the armchair and table back off the floor. "Well, that was easy." he said turning to Dean. He saw his friend checking Ginny out by the look on his face. Harry glanced at Ginny to see what was so interesting. Wow, she has a nice figure he thought I guess those pajamas show off stuff her normal clothes don't cause I never seen her actual figure Harry thought. Dean was thinking the same thing, but the two boys snapped out of staring.
"Well, better get back to bed before Mcgonall catches us" The boys said and said good night to each other before going back to bed.

Vanessa sat in the common room, her blue eyes lit by the remains of the dying fire. She was focusing on her homework that was due tommorrow. What was mostly worrying about was Potions homework. She was working on the 2-page essay on brewing a Muka Potion and how it will stop the Crutautis curse from killing you imeddiatly. She was 1/3 done with the second page until she heard someone coming in to the common room. Oh no what if it is a Prefect checking in? she thought and sighed when she saw Draco coming down. It didn't surprise her one bit that he was shirtless. When she dated Blaise Zabini, he always came down shirtless into the common room when she was there. "Up so late?" she asked softly.
"Yeah, you?" Draco said stifling a yawn.
"Same, but homework" Vanessa said raising her parchment and book in the air.
"I finished that just a few hours ago..." he replied and sat down in an armchair.
"Can I see it?" she asked hoping he would say yes.
"What page you on?" he asked getting out his bag.
"Second page" she answered.
Draco handed her his second page, Vanessa thanked him softly and went to copying it. "Well, it seems your exausted too, seeing the bags under your eyes." he whispered.
Vanessa nodded, "I could just fall down sleeping right now but I can't" Vanessa said still copying his paper. "Finished." she said and handed his paper to him. "Thank you Mr. Malfoy"
"No problem" Draco said putting his paper back. "Well, I'm off to bed, goodnight." He said and walked back up to the boys dorm.
"Goodnight" Vanessa said heading up to the girls dorm.
