((Well ice princess, you asked for it!))

Ginny looked over at Diana. "And what have we learned from this experience exactly?" Their chests were still rising and falling from the run back to the commons and Ginny's eyes were mere slits in her pinkened face. Diana was so NEVER going to live this down. N-E-V-E-R!

Diana blushed and grinned pitifully. "That Draco must be real big if he-"

"DIANA NO!"

"I'm just saying if he needs a whole towel…"

Ginny sobbed. Folding over on the bed she slammed her face into her palm. "Diana why can't you just be normal like everyone else?"

Diana grinned and pondering on this a moment shrugged. "I dunno, am I supposed to be normal Wheezy? I mean, wouldn't that make me boring?"

Ginny sighed. "Diana. I never want to see him again."

Diana nodded and began thinking up another one of her grand schemes. "Alright, how about this? From now on we make a vow to avoid him at all costs. Fair?" She held out her hand for a shake. This way she could hold Ginny to her word… which translated meant that she could tease Ginny if they ever stumbled upon him.

Ginny shook her friends hand and looked around. Everyone else was asleep and had barely noticed her outburst earlier. Rolling over in their beds, the girls eventually dosed off.

As Diana dreamt away in her own land, Ginny pulled the Gryffindor spirited covers up to her chin and stared out her window. The only thought that came to her was the site of Draco Malfoy before her, towel sopping wet from drying off and the water still dripping down his unbelievably toned muscles which glistened…

Ginny stop drooling.

Ginny turned over so she wouldn't face-plant herself in her own drool, at this she also turned her pillow over. Okay, so slight attraction to Draco Malfoy-? Check.

Ginny felt a warmth rise in her cheeks as she pictured herself and Draco. And the bodies mashing together. Flesh on flesh.

Bad Ginny. Bad.

-----------------------------------------------------

Shuffling her covers off of her, Ginny rolled over in her bed and landed on the floor with a disgruntled "OOMPF!" and groaned. "Why me...?" Muttering something else about fate and how it was always so cruel to her, Ginny made her way into the bathroom, before Diana, and was out before her friend was even up.

Walking over to her friend's bed she got a great idea. A slow tired smirk crawled across her features as she picked up her lip gloss from the bathroom counter and returned to Diana's side.

She left trails of pink, sparkly, strawberry flavored lip gloss along the girl's forehead and cheeks. That should be good for now. With a content smile, Ginny made her way from the girls' dorms to the commons and sat down in one of the big chairs. Today was Monday and she had finished all of her homework from the last week so she was clean. With a sigh she crossed her legs. She was slowly getting bored.

"GINNY MONKEY SCREWING WEASLEY!" The disgruntled voice of Diana floated down from their room to her place in the commons. Ginny smiled.

Ginny and Diana walked down the hallway to their next class. Well technically it was their break. That day Draco hadn't been invited into Potions. Ginny was almost a little sad but she didn't mourn too long, else she would have mourned her dignity at having another embarrassing moment happen to her. This time she and Diana would take special care to NOT go where Draco was going.

In doing so however, they inevitably ran into him three times before breakfast and twice on the way to first period.

"Alright, so where do we think he'll be going?" Diana pondered as they deliberated between two different hallways.

"How am I supposed to know, I don't have his schedule down." Ginny chewed on a licorice wand as she stood beside her.

"That's what we should've gotten! His schedule! That way we knew exactly where he was going and when!"

"Can't we just go back to the commons?"

"Oh Ginny, I've spent the past two days lounging about in the commons can't we go someplace new? Like the library, I haven't been there yet." Diana teased.

Ginny rolled her eyes and walked down the hallway to the right. There was no point really in taking the one to the left as it ended up turning into the one on the right anyhow. After a few seconds she heard Diana follow behind her.

"Or we can just pick one."

They meandered for a while. Yes meandered was a good word for what they were doing. Avoiding certain halls and dodging past rooms and corridors. Backs against the walls they would stick out their compact mirrors to see around sharp corners.

Alright so not only were they meandering they were making complete fools of themselves and were not void of strange looks from teachers or seventh years. Highly embarrassing.

"Diana, I think we're okay." Ginny insisted as she leaned against the stone wall outside the infirmary. "I doubt he's here."

Diana, eye squinted, finger tapping her chin thoughtfully, shook her head. "I don't think we should be so sure…" She trailed off.

"At the infirmary Diana? Honestly. I don't think the boy gets hurt that easily."

"He might be special."

Ginny gaped. Diana was losing it. Seriously.

"Diana I think I need to escort you back to the dorms."

"Ginny I think you need to take this more seriously."

Ginny nodded, lips pressed together and eyebrows raised. "Right, and lets do that heading in the direction of the commons shall we?"

And with a turn on her heel, Ginny made her way to the end of the corridor. Where she turned the corner.

And promptly ran into Draco.

Stomping her foot irritated into the ground she groaned. "Dammit why can't you just NOT be where we are?"

Draco, taken aback, felt his lip twitch. "ME? I've been avoiding you ALL DAMN DAY! Why are YOU following ME?"

Ginny blanched. "ME? I'm not following you I'm avoiding you!"

"Well you're not doing a very good job of it!"

"Neither are you apparently!"

They both paused and took into consideration their situation. Blinking Ginny turned to find the hall behind her empty. "Diana?" Turning back she found Draco looking as exhausted by this as she was. Blushing to the tips of her ears she sighed. She opened her mouth to say something but found it impossible to.

"Ginny?" Her attentions were torn away from being speechless to Draco. Who had called her by her first name.

"Ye-Yeah?" She stuttered. She almost kicked herself.

"I want to say something. But I don't want you to think badly of it."

Blinking she waited.

"I'm sorry for how I acted on the train. And how I acted in front of Snape. And for… about the past five years." He counted out on his fingers.

Ginny blinked.

"And I'd like to say…" He continued. "That I'd prefer we drop our enemy status. And become… well… mates."

Ginny raised an eyebrow.

"Not like that!" He corrected himself frantically. "I mean… like… chums, friends, pals, companions." He swallowed harshly.

Ginny raised her other eyebrow.

Draco stood there. Not knowing what to do.

Ginny blinked.

Draco blinked.

Ginny blinked.

Draco held his breath.

Ginny blinked. "Okay sure."
