Ginny's turn! (Yes, it's supposed to be about Harry & Malfoy, but I like switching POV's)

.x. It's Okay .x.

"Hey Gin-Gin! What time is Potter taking you out?"

"Have fun on your date, Weasley!"

"How embarrassing, huh? In the middle of class…"

"Just shut up, all of you!" Tears were welling up in my eyes as I headed out of Potions. This was awful! Everyone who'd gotten that note was teasing me about in the hallway. I couldn't even go to lunch without word getting out: I supposedly was going out with Harry. Everyone had it all wrong, though… The note wasn't for Harry; it was for Erin, the new exchange student! It wasn't fair at all… I remember passing the note further up, and somehow Malfoy got a hold of it. He ruins everything…

"Ginny?"

I was in the Great Hall, angrily picking a seat for lunch, as far away from Harry and the others as possible. Yet Hermione found me anyway. I looked up at her, forcing a small smile. She gave me a look of sympathy. "I heard what happened."

"How?"

"Ron told me."

"Why does this not surprise me?" I sighed, banging my head on the table. "Why do bad things happen to me, Hermione?"

She patted my back affectionately. "It's okay, Ginny. I mean, if that's how you feel about Harry…"

"No! I don't!" She jumped back slightly, startled as my voice rose. "The note wasn't for him, it for…um, someone else."

"Really?" Her face lit up as she smiled brightly. She exhaled and took a seat next to me, dropping her things on the table. "I mean, I understand why you're so mad now. Draco was way out of line."

"Speaking of which, have you seen him? I want to beat the hell out of him…" Hermione just laughed, but quickly stopped when she caught my eye. What was she so happy about anyway? Shaking my head, I quickly changed the subject. "So, anything new going on with you?"

"Well, nothing really. Just school work, keeping your brother out of trouble, and…oh, did I mention I got myself a new boyfriend?" She let out an excited laugh at that, making me smile at her. We both fell into a bout of laughter, acting like traditional, giddy schoolgirls, causing several people to stare. Once the laughter subsided, I nudged her on the shoulder. "So, who's the lucky guy?"

She bit her bottom lip, half smiling, half frowning, as if she were deciding whether or not to tell me. "Well, I'm not quite sure if I want to announce that here," she looked around cautiously—gossip and eavesdropping was common at Hogwarts. "Let's just say it's a guy all the girls have had their eyes on for a while."

"Tell me!" I whined, but she just put a finger on my mouth to shush me. She gave a cheeky smile. "I'll tell you when there aren't so many people around. Now, you hungry?"

I sighed, shaking my head. "Not really. I've got to go somewhere anyway." That was a lie, sort of. Honestly, I was thinking about looking for Erin, to see if he'd heard anything yet. Hopefully not, but if he had, then I'd have to humiliate myself explaining to him what had went wrong. A sigh escaped my lips. Life sucked.

For what seemed like forever, I asked every Ravenclaw I ran into if they saw Erin in their common room, but they all said no. Maybe he was in the library?

I checked, but he was no where to be found, and looking for him was getting tiresome. Not to mention my next class started in a few minutes. I didn't have time for this! Calm down, Ginny, it's alright. You can talk to him later… But I didn't feel alright. The longer I stayed at Hogwarts, the more I realized it stunk. I guess the only reason I liked it was because of friends and family that went here.

"No, just back off!"

"Hush, Potter, you'll get us in more trouble!"

"Get off of—ngh!"

What the…? There were voices from around the corner I was nearing. I came to a halt just behind it, curious about what was going on. I glanced around; no one was in sight—all at lunch, probably—so it seemed that the only one's around were me and the two owners of those voices. Curiously, I peered over the corner…but what I saw had to be the most shocking and disgusting thing I've ever seen! What the freaking HELL!?!

Two boys…kissing… One was resistant, but the other was being forceful, pushing him against the wall, pushing back a strand of dark hair from the resistor's face. Harry and Draco…

What do I do? What do I say? This doesn't make sense at all!

I was still caught up in my thoughts when I saw Harry force Draco off of him, slightly shocked. They stared at each other for a long time, Draco smirking, Harry confused and angry. Time was at a standstill…

"Why are you… Just back off, Malfoy," Harry managed to snap before storming off in the other direction, thankfully away from me. I could have sworn I saw a look of hurt on Draco's face…? No, he couldn't be…

Silently, I turned the other direction and quickly went on my way. What was I seeing? What was going on? Why… It's nothing! You saw nothing! Maybe your mind is playing tricks on you?

"Ginny?"

I stopped, startled, staring around the corridor confusedly. It wasn't long before I spotted Erin heading my way. Yes! Something to take my mind off things! I let the brunette walk up to me, staring at my worriedly with those bright, blue eyes of his. "Ginny, I've been looking everywhere for you. Do you know what kids from Potions are saying about you and Potter?"

"Yeah," I shook my head, smiling, as if it didn't matter—though I was still pissed. "They're just being stupid. Look, that note, it was—"

"For me, I know." He seemed so understanding, but I could tell he was somewhat skeptical. "So…um, you still want to hang out tonight?"

Why does he look so uncomfortable? We've been going out for a week now; we should be past this. "Of course. Unless you're busy?"

"No, of course not. Gin, you okay? You seem pale."

Don't say anything. You saw nothing. "Yeah… It's okay, I'm fine."

I don't think this one turned out that well, but, I guess you guys can decide that. What do you think? (Big thanks to everyone who keeps sending in reviews! Love ya!)
