A/N: Exams were finished last week and since I passed grade nine, it's officially summer vacay for me! Which means more chapters for you.

Our lives are shaped by those who refuse to love us.

On With the Story

"And he said that it was a mistake!" I cried. Ginny and I sat in the Room of Requirement, talking about what happened in the library earlier today. I was miserable.

"Honey, " Gin whispered, soothingly. "He probably just said that because he's scared."

Probably. "Why, though?"

"I think the biggest problem is, you are his best friend's little sister and he's afraid of falling for you," she replied. She sighed, she was going through the exact same thing with Potter.

Grrr. "Well then we should do something, for the both of us!" I exclaimed. Gin's eyebrows shot up. "I will find something to make Blaise notice me and you will do the exact same thing for Potter."

She smiled. "I guess. But whatever will we do?"

"Hold still!" I cried. "You'll ruin it."

"My brother is going to kill me when he sees me," replied Ginny.

"But Potter will be jealous and that's the point!" Ginny and I were getting ready in Hermione's room for our dates that were going to takes us to Hogsmeade. It was a Saturday and our plans to get Blaise and Potter to notice us was being put into action.

"It might be cold outside," said Ginny.

"Heating charms," were my answer.

"Damn it," she muttered.

"There! All done!" I exclaimed.

We both checked ourselves out in the mirror. We both wore cargo short shorts (mine in navy, hers in military green) and tube tops (both in white) with our flip flops. Her hair was down and mine was up.

We were meeting our dates by the front doors. Two seventh year boys from Ravenclaw. Jordan Ponley (half-blood; my date) and Markus Smith (muggleborn; Gin's date). We had told the boys earlier that they might be dead by the end of the day by our brothers, but they didn't seem to mind. Plus, the trio and Blaise and Draco were meeting at the front doors too. Hehe.

"Confidence, Gin. Confidence," Ginny repeated to herself over and over again on the way downstairs.

"You're doing great," I whispered, reassuringly.

We rounded the corner and saw our dates, the trio and Blaise and Draco. We walked silently towards them and only when we were a few feet away from them, did we make our presence known.

"Jordan! Markus! You showed up!" I exclaimed, smiling. All eyes were on us. Blaise and Potter were glaring at both boys.

"Of course we did. This'll be the best date of the year," said Jordan.

"Hold it!" shouted Draco. I turned to look at him. "Did he say date?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I forbid it! Nope, you're not going out with them," he muttered.

"Well, it's not just me. Gin's coming along too," I replied.

"What!" yelled Weasley.

"Didn't you hear us the first time Ron?" Gin asked. "We're going on dates with Jordan and Markus whether you like it or not." Ron opened his mouth. "Don't even start Ronald! Let's go boys. Coming Chloe?"

I nodded and left with them.

A couple hours later, the four of us were heading back to the castle with our shopping bags in hand.

"Did you girls have fun?" asked Jordan

We nodded.

"That's good. But we need to leave, we have some more dates to attend to," Markus said.

"That's awesome. Wait...what?" I asked, clearly confused.

"We have another date to go on," spoke Jordan. "I'm glad that you had a good time. Owl us when you want to do this again." They waved their goodbyes and left before we could yell at them.

I turned to Ginny. "What just happened?"

"They left us," she replied, simply.

"And I thought Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart," I mumbled. She nodded, agreeing with me.

The next day, Gin and I had decided to finish our homework outside since it was a beautiful day.

"So, what did you say about your date when your brother asked?" I questioned.

"I told him it went well and they left us. He looked smugged and so did Harry, like they knew it was going to happen. So, just to make things better for me, I told them I made out with him.It was funny watching Ron trying to form words," laughed Ginny. What aboutyou? Oh, and what did you get for question 5?"

"Same thing as you, mostly," I replied. "Question 5? I didn't answer that one." I closed my book and put it beside me. "I'm bored of schoolwork."

She nodded. "Me too."

We were silent for a moment, both of us lying in the grass, before Ginny spoke again. "Our love lifes suck. I mean we try this hard for two guys to notice us, but they don't seem to take the hint." She sighed.

"You're right. Boys suck," I muttered. At least sometimes they do. Other times they can be quite charming.

"Sometimes. Maybe we need to do something different," suggested Gin.

"To get them to notice us?"

"Yeah."

"Like what?"I asked.

She was silent for a moment before she answered. "I think that we should call of guys for a bit," she said slowly, as if it would make more sense. I looked at her surprised. "Not like forever or anything. Just for a month or so, just to see how it goes. The boys would notice that we were free and they'd probably like it. And me and you could just have some 'girl time' for a bit," she said.

I nodded. "That sounds good." I really did like the idea. "Just the two us. At least for now," I said, winking at her and raising my eyebrows up at her suggestively.

We both burst out laughing.

A.N: All done this chappie. It's not as long as the others, but it fits in with the story and we start to see the DM/HG romance start to show in the next couple of chapters. Maybe, maybe not.

Question: Who is your favorite character to read about in fanfiction?

My answer: I love to read about Ginny Weasley because most of the stories I read about her make her spunky and very outgoing.
