MUAH- to all reviewers. i'm surprised people actually liked the last chapter! neways, ENJOY---

It has been a few months since the day of Draco admitting he likes Ginny. He tried his best to avoid her, but she smiled at him whenever he goes by.

Quidditch, Slytherin against Ravenclaw. If Slytherin wins, they win the house cup. Of course, 99.9 of the Gryffindors were cheering for Ravenclaw.

Ginny was actually neutral. She didn't want Ravenclaw to win because Cho Chang is the seeker. If she wins then, well Harry would be all over her. She didn't like that for some reason. She didn't want Slytherin to win because, well, because it's Slytherin.

Suddenly, Ginny found herself cheering when Slytherin scores and booing when Ravenclaw does. The trio noticed that. They stared at her in shock.

"What," said Ginny lamely.

"You traitor! You're cheering for Slytherin!" said Ron.

"No, I'm not," she said nervously. "Oh, green uniform is Slytherin, sorry, must have forgotten," was her lame excuse.

They didn't buy it of course, but continued watching the game.

Midway through the game, Slytherin was winning. Ginny was cold then and put on her jacket hood. It was then that Cho Chang rushed towards her, looking for the snitch. The end of her broom was caught on her jacket hood. Ginny was then hanging on Cho Chang's broom as she was flying.

"Oh my god, Ginny, I'm so sorry," said Cho as she stopped in the air. Her hood then tore and she was falling 60 feet.

Draco was the first to act. He rushed to help her and just before she hit the ground, he held her and put her on the ground gently. Everyone gasped at that.

Draco saw something moving inside Ginny's uniform, it then burst out. It was the snitch. He caught it before it could go anywhere. Slytherin won again. They won the house cup. Every Slytherin cheered and cheered and rushed down to congratulate Draco, they were too happy to remember that Draco had saved Ginny.

Ginny gave him a smile. The Gryffindors rushed over to Ginny, making sure she was OK.

"Ginny, are you alright?" asked Ron asked he zoomed towards her. Ginny nodded. "Did I just see right, Malfoy saved you?"

"Obviously not for her Ron! He saved her because the snitch was with her," said Hermione in her nerdy tone. It was the first time she was wrong. He didn't do it for the snitch.

"Oh, right," said Ron. "They won the house cup," he said glumly. "We are last, even Hufflepuff won us."

As they were walking out of the pitch, they saw Lucius Malfoy with a huge grin on his face for his son's victory. He gave Harry a glare of hate as he walked by to Draco.

"Congratulations Draco," he said to his son. Draco slightly bowed to his father. "I'm proud of you. You saved yourself."

Ginny knew what that meant. He saved himself from the Cruciatus.

"Although you did save a blood-traitor," he said glancing a Ginny, "And that's it's own punishment," he walked away. Draco's eyes were getting teary. The Cruciatus awaits him.

The trio were laughing under their breath at the sight. "Well done Ginny," said Harry.

Ginny understood what 'punishment' meant to Lucius. She walked towards Draco, just as teary. "Are you alright?"

"What do you think Weasel?" he replied rudely. He didn't seem to mean it though.

"I'm sorry."

"No, no and no! Don't be. Weasels don't be sorry to Malfoys, understand that?!" he said again.

She nodded. "When?" she asked.

"Tomorrow," As soon as he left and Ginny turned, she saw the trio with wide-open mouths.

"You actually apologized to Malfoy! When it's not even you fault!" said Hermione in shock.

"He's being punished," she replied. "For saving me. Won't you feel guilty?"

"It's not like he's getting the Cruciatus. It's not like he's getting whipped. It's not like his father would starve him!" said Hermione.

One of them was true. "How do you know? This is Lucius we're talking about. Do you think his punishment would be no allowance?" she replied.

"What's really weird is that you're sticking up for Malfoy," said Harry.

"Chill guys. I just said sorry, that's it," she walked away ignoring their words. I have to get Draco out of this mess! she thought.
