Here we go…

It has been a week since Blaise talked to Ginny. With her in the library…

Don't look over there Ginny. He will just look away like he always does and then you will start staring at him like a bloody moron. It has been a week and neither Blaise nor Draco has said a word to you. Maybe he doesn't like me anymore? A week since she found out and she is noticing not only the way Draco keeps looking at her, but Draco himself.

He is very attractive and she could immediately see why girls were all over him. His pale skin didn't make him look sick, as much as it made him look fragile. More angelic then she would have thought. His eyes weren't grey either, more silver and sparkling. Sometimes when she would see him by himself he didn't look so cold and dark like usual. He looked calm and peaceful.

Maybe it's all a mask. Maybe he isn't as mean as everyone thinks he is. She thought this one day when she saw him walking alone. It was just after dinner and the hall was deserted. He couldn't see her; she was covered by the shadows. But she could see him. He looked serene; he looked, beautiful.

Now she was in the library and he had his usual I'm-going-to-hex-you-if-you-come-near-me kind of look on his face and he was furiously scribbling on a piece of parchment. But ever since Blaise had told her that Draco fancied her, she wasn't intimidated by it anymore. She was intrigued. She wanted to know why he had that look.

And worst of all, she wanted to be the one to make it go away.

Merlin, I like him. I, Ginevra Molly Weasley, fancy Draco Malfoy. I wonder what his middle name is…Maybe he doesn't have a middle name. Or he just doesn't like to say it. Maybe I could make him tell me. Or---

"Hello Ginny." Luna sat down in the seat across from Ginny, blocking Draco from her view. And for this, she was thankful.

"Hello Luna. How are you?"

"Busy. I seem to have lost my shoes and I don't know where they have gone to. I didn't clean them last week; maybe they have run away." (A/N I don't know any of the funny creatures she makes up so her shoes have run away. Continue…). "What about you Ginny?"

"Well, I have a lot of homework and I came to the library to do it. But, my thoughts keep distracting me." Ginny didn't exactly want to talk about what thoughts she was having, but she didn't like lying to Luna. She may not be in Gryffindor, but Luna had become one of Ginny's dearest friends.

"That happens to me sometimes to. I have some homework myself. Mind if I sit with you?" Not waiting for an answer, Luna took out her books and started scribbling on a piece of parchment. See, this is why I am friends with Luna. She always knows exactly when I don't want to talk about it.

After an hour, Draco had left and so did Luna. Ginny stayed in the library for an hour following that, and then began to walk back to the tower. So, I like him. Maybe I should just tell him. Or should I tell Blaise first. No, I am going to wait. I don't even know if I want to tell him yet. Blaise will just have to wait a little bit longer.

I think he'll understand though. And he is doing a very good job of waiting patiently for me to make my decision. When I do confront Draco, if he still likes be by then, I think me and Blaise will make great friends. He certainly is nice and---

"Ginny." A voice from inside the empty classroom beside her whispered her name.

"Ginny? I can see you out there. Get in here." She didn't exactly get a choice considering the hand belonging to whosever voice it was pulled her in. She recognized him instantly.

"Blaise?" He put a hand up to silence her and he placed a few charms on the door. He turned back to her with a usual grin on his face.

"Hello Ginny. How are you? I feel as though we haven't spoken in ages." His grin widened and she gave him an annoyed glare.

"Look Blaise, I have not come to my decision yet. If I do then I will inform you first and---

"That's not why I am holding you hostage Ginny." She couldn't help a tiny a smile and spread across her face.

"Okay then, why am I here?"

"Well, I have come to notice that you and Luna spend quite a bit of time together. Am I correct?"

She gave him a confused look. "Yes, well Luna is one of my good friends. Why do you ask?"

His grin widened and he sat down on the desk behind him. "I was hoping you would put in a good word for me."

Her eyes widened and she smiled. "You like Luna?"

"Yes, is that a problem?"

Ginny laughed and placed her hands on Blaise's shoulders. "No, that's fantastic!" He and Luna would be perfect together. And I have seen her glancing over at him once or twice. I believe she fancies him also. She told Blaise and he broke out into a huge smile.

"You should ask her right away. She would be thrilled!"

He surprised Ginny by hugging her and lifting her up. "Thank you Ginny. I think I will do just that." He put her down and she smiled up at him.

"Anytime." He started of to the door and lifted the spells. Then a question came to her head. "Wait Blaise!"

He turned around and looked at her. "Yes Ginny?"

"We're friends right?" She immediately regretted asking. She looked down embarrassed. Of course we're not friends! He probably doesn't even want to be. I am a Gryffindor, he's a Slytherin. We've talked twice! We are from completely different worlds and---

"Of course we are Ginny." She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back, winked and walked from the classroom.

"Good."

Another week later. With Ginny at dinner…

Merlin, it seems like everyone is pairing off. Blaise has got Luna, Harry has got Cho (A/N Yes, you finally find out who Harry is with. But was there ever any doubt it wouldn't be Cho?)…even my brother had the guts to finally admit his love for Hermione. Then here I am. Gutless. I wish I could gather up the courage to go and talk to him. I want to tell Blaise I like Draco but whenever I try to it's like another consideration pops into my head! I'm hopeless…

Blaise and Ginny have been talking more often now that he is dating Luna. Draco on the other hand, seems to be avoiding her. Blaise assured her that he still fancies her but Ginny isn't to sure. She looked up from her dinner and got another glance at all of the love-stricken couples.

"I don't think I am all that hungry anymore." She told this to no one in particular. Everyone sort of acknowledged her leaving and with this she exited the Great Hall.

She started walking around the halls and her mind suddenly filled with a certain Slytherin.

Maybe I should just tell him. Get it over with. I mean what's the worst that could happen?

"Hey Draco. Look I have been thinking and through my stalking I have come to the conclusion that you are not that bad. So, I think we should go out. What do you say?"

"*walks away laughing and tells everyone at school*"

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't tell him.

No, I have to. Blaise said that Draco liked me and he wouldn't lie, right? He told me he liked Luna and that wasn't a lie. Okay. I am going to tell Draco Malfoy that I like him and he is going to tell me the same and we are gonna date and get married and have 5 children and live happily ever after.

Okay, maybe I should just tell him I like him first.

As if it were fate, as Ginny rounded the corner, there was Draco Malfoy walking right in her direction. (A/N Okay you caught me. It wasn't fate; I made Draco appear around the corner. Give me a break. Pretend like it was fate.)

He put on his trademark smirk and made a beeline for her.

He really does look sexy with that smirk.

"Well, well, well look what we have here. A lost Weasel roaming the dungeons? You should know by now that this isn't your territory Weaslette." When did I get to the dungeons? You'd think I'd notice the feel of death in here. What should I say?

No, this is what I wanted. This is where I'll tell him. And I think I'll have a little fun with it too.

Ginny put on a smirk of her own and stepped closer to him. "Well, I was looking for Blaise, but" She looked him up and down. "I guess you'll have to do."

The shocked and confused look on his face made Ginny want to giggle. But he quickly covered it up with a death glare. "Do you know who you're talking to Weasley?"

She took another step closer. "Well of course, Draco." Ginny made sure to emphasize his name and say it very clearly so he could hear it. Another step closer.

Now he was looking nervous. Not obvious nervous, but what would you be like if the girl you fancied was backing you into a wall with an evil grin on her face. You'd be a bit nervous too.

"Look, Weasley I don't know what you're doing but---

"I'm just testing out a little something your dear friend Blaise told me." Now he was backed into a wall and, even though he was a good few inches taller then her, she had complete control over him. And he knew it.

"Um, I…" He had no idea what to say. What the hell did Blaise tell her? What am I supposed to do now? Admit that she's making me nervous? Admit that I like her?

"Seeing as you are at a loss for words Draco, I'll just talk for now." Okay, here goes nothing. "A couple weeks ago, Blaise told me that you fancied me. At the time I didn't think anything of it because I thought you always hated me. Then I started noticing how you watched me and on top of that, I started noticing you. I noticed how you were different when no one was around. How you weren't as mean or angry. I found myself wondering why you were one way when people were near, and another way when no one was around.

"I wanted you to tell me why you are so mean and why you are so calm on your own. I wanted to know what you were thinking, what you are thinking. I wanted to know all about you and why Blaise hangs around you. I wanted to know you. It may have taken Blaise to make me realize it, but I like you, Draco Malfoy. I don't know how long I really have, but I know I do." Ginny took a deep breath and took a few steps back, afraid he would explode from laughter. But she couldn't step back.

Draco was holding her. When did he put his arms around me? She looked up at him to see him looking right back at her. He was smirking or grinning or angry, he was calm.

"Do you know the first time I noticed you Ginny?" My name sounds so much better when he says it. "I had found Potter snogging that girl, and I was going to find you so I could break the news to you. Instead I found you crying. You were sobbing into your robes and I wanted to go over there, and hold you. I wanted to help you and take care of you. After that, I started noticing little things about you.

"I noticed the way your hair shines whenever the sun hits it, and how you look ever more beautiful when it does. I noticed the way you twirl your hair when you're nervous, and the way you play with your fingers when you are anxious. I noticed the way you bit your lip when you're scared, and the way you smile when you're really happy." He looked deep into her eyes, and gave her a genuine smile. "I noticed you Ginny."

She was shocked and happy at the same time. Harry never saw her that way. But right now, Harry was the last thing on her mind. She looked back at him.

"I didn't think people notice those things."

"Well, I notice." And then, he kissed her.

The End…Finally.
