Due to the numerous death threats and the really nice 'please and thank you' messages I've received in my PM inbox, I've decided to upload ONE more chapter...THERE HAPPY??! And by the way, it's still a cliffhanger =]

Enjoy!


Draco smiled seeing Ginny walking towards him. She was as beautiful as always. "Hey." Draco said leaning in to kiss her but Ginny offered her cheek. Of course, he wasn't going to mess up her makeup. "You look beautiful." Draco whispered in her ear.

"Thank you. Did you notice?" Ginny asked angling her body.

Draco's eyes swept over her, what was he suppose to notice? "You…cut your hair?" he asked seeing her grin widely. Draco was relieved…that was close.

"Yes I have!" she said. She started talking about something, and Draco nodded, looking up the Gryffindor girl dormitories to see if Jade was coming, or if she was standing there to wish him goodbye. She wasn't. Every Ball, they would plan to either attend the ball or stay home. Jade always stood back and Draco stood with her. This time, things were different. Draco made a grim realization. Having a girlfriend really did change their friendship. For the worst or for the better, Draco couldn't tell. Ginny was really introducing new things into his life, just like Jade had when they had first met. A hand flew in front of his face and he brought it back to Ginny's face.

"Where did you space off?" she asked gently.

"Nothing. Let's leave." He said.

They walked out of the common room and steadily walked to the Great Hall with no rush. Of course, there was hardly anything to talk about. Since they spent most of their time snogging, they didn't know what to actually talk about. Ginny was a sweet girl, but she, just like any other girl would keep yapping about her girlfriends and their dilemmas. Sometimes she'd talk about refreshing things like her home and family, but that was just it. She was quite intelligent but not as philosophical as Jade was. Ginny always had an explanation about everything, whether they were proven or not and wouldn't question anything. She wouldn't doubt things, mainly because she had a reason for everything. Things were pretty much boring with her.

They entered the Great Hall and Draco looked around to see pinks, reds and whites all over the Great Hall. The tables nearby were covered in red covers, candles and white flowers serving as the centerpiece. Doves flew with tea lights on their backs and the music made Draco want to turn to Ginny and dance slowly with her, but she wasn't there. He frowned and felt a rough pat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Goyle, Crabbe and Zabini stand there, looking quite presentable.

"Draco! Where's Jay?" Blaise asked, looking around.

"How would I know?" Draco asked. Crabbe and Goyle guffawed.

"That's pretty weird actually, to hear that you don't know anything about her nowadays." Goyle commented.

"Yeah, you spend more time with Weasley than Jay these days." Crabbe said.

"Draco, my friends came here to see you!" Ginny said appearing by his side.

"And I think I can see why." Blaise said eyeing Ginny, who glared at him.

"Disgusting." Ginny hissed. She pulled Draco away and whispered fiercely. "Why do you hang around with them? They're so creepy and stupid." Ginny said.

Draco minded that. "They're friends Ginny, no matter how much you dislike them, they'll be my friends." He said.

Ginny sighed and touched his cheek. "I understand Draco, but I feel uncomfortable around them. I don't like them, I never have. That's all." Ginny said softly.

Draco sighed and nodded. "I'll try to keep them away." He said.

"Promise?" Ginny asked.

"Promise." Draco nodded.

"Thank you Draco, now meet my friends…" Ginny introduced Draco to her 6th year friends. Draco wasn't too happy about Ginny's group of friends either. They all looked so snobby and displeased to see him, but he couldn't blame them. They were Gryffindor's. He hated this Ball. There was nothing to do. He looked around and saw Hermione Granger, stand around with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Draco swept his eyes around for Jade but realized that not even Potter would be able to get her to come to a Ball, least of all, not a Valentine's Ball. The music started to play, a slow soft song. Draco wanted to run. This was absolutely not his type of his music and he would ridicule the song to nothingness with Jade. So romantic! So cheesy! So cliché!

I'll be your dream. I'll be your wish. I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope. I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath, truly, madly, deeply do.
I will be strong. I will be faithful, 'cause I'm counting on a new beginning, a reason for living. A deeper meaning…Yeah…

Draco found Ginny and wrapped an arm around her waist, taking her away from her friends. He just wanted to be with her alone. She wrapped her arms around his neck and the two swayed softly to the music.

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever,
until the sky falls down on me

He leaned in to kiss her but heard a cackle. He turned his head and started to see people form a circle, crowding around someone or something.

"What's going on?" Draco asked.

The circle broke and someone wobbled towards him and Ginny, looking like they had stepped off another planet. Draco gaped at the sight in front of him. Jade walked unevenly towards him with golden high heels that she could hardly walk in. She looked like a child that tried out her Mummy's clothes. Jade's face was smeared in mascara, making her eyes resemble a raccoon. She wore a bright red lipstick, that didn't even fill out her lips, and her hair was a disaster! She had a pixie cut, so it really never went well if she wanted to slick her hair back with Merlin knows what she put in her hair to make it look alive. She wore red beads with her red shirt and green slacks, making her look like one of Santa's elves gone…somewhere warm. He looked down to her shoes to see her wearing ridiculously high golden heels and he looked back at her seeing her smile nervously.

"How do I look?" Jade asked quite confidently.

Draco knew she was joking. She wanted to spice things up because she knew he was going to be bored, so he started to laugh.

"This is the best joke, you've pulled in seven years!" he exclaimed, feeling his stomach start to hurt. Along with him, the rest of the school laughed, pointing and laughing uproariously at her.

Jade's grin started to falter and she smiled. Her smile then faltered and was replaced with confusion. Why were they laughing at her? She wasn't trying to be funny. This wasn't a joke. She really wanted to look like Hermione and Ginny to impress Draco! She looked around seeing everyone laughing at her, with tears in their eyes. Her eyes moved to Hermione who looked livid, with tears in her eyes for another reason. Next to her was Ron, who laughed until he turned beet red. Harry stood there, displeased with everyone's insensitivity to laugh at her that way. Jade turned to the man who she loved, seeing him still laughing, with Ginny in his arms. Clearly he wasn't going to leave her and run towards Jade. He dug his face into Ginny's hair who laughed along with him, as hard as she could. Draco let Ginny go, still laughing and stopping from the sudden fits of laughter.

"I love it! I really do! You really outdid yourself this time." Draco said touching her shoulder but Jade shrugged him off, feeling her insides squirm and her tears clouding her vision. Draco's smile vanished and he saw how hurt and embarrassed she was.

"Jay, are you okay?" Draco asked seriously.

Jade took a step back and covered her mouth from the sob. She turned and ran with full speed, out of the Great Hall, kicking her shoes off, running in her bare feet. Draco stood there as Hermione slipped out of her own heels and thrust them into Ron's arms and ran off, after Jade. Harry soon followed and Draco questioned why he was still standing there, not going after his best friend. He was the closest thing she had, yet he stood there as people that mattered less had ran after without sparing a second.

'You have to go to her.' The voice in Draco's head told him. Draco took a step, but felt a firm hand on his shoulder, pulling him back.

"Where are you going?" Ginny asked, rounding on him.

Draco looked down and pointed to the doors of the Great Hall. "I have to see if she's all right." Without another word, he left, out of the doors. Draco walked up the stairs and heard a voice, gently soothing Jade's shaky sobs.

Author's Note: The song that Draco and Ginny were dancing to is called "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden. It's a nice song, very cheesy and makes you a bit nauseous when you first hear it but it kind of fit with Draco and Ginny's relationship.

And I wanted to keep everyone updated that I'm 75% done with my new story. It's very sweet and cute with a twist to it but I'm not going to give anything away, just to let you know that as soon as I'm dont with it (which will be not far along because of the winter break) I'll have it posted. Thanks guys for reading! Have a wonderful night/day!
