Ginny looked over at Hermione and saw the hurt in her eyes.

"Don't be bothered with what he said Hermione. It's ferret face, he's probably pmsing." Ginny said trying to comfort Hermione. "Besides we have better things to be doing." She jumped out of her chair. "Come on!"

"Fine." Hermione said following Ginny out of the common room.

Ginny was walking down to Hogsmead alone. Hermione and the boys had opted to stay inside and do homework. Or rather Hermione had opted to stay inside and do homework, and then proceeded yelled at the boys for not doing theirs until they said they'd stay.

Ginny's thoughts wondered randomly until she got down to Hogsmead. Once she got there she wasn't sure where to go so she went to the pub for a butterbeer. She walked up to the bar and sat down.

"One butterbeer please." She said and watched as a butterbeer was place in front of her; she took a sip from it. She vaguely heard the bell saying someone was coming in but didn't pay attention to it. Footsteps came up behind her.

"Hey beautiful." He whispered in her ear. Ginny immediately recognized the voice.

"What did I say about saying stuff like that in public places someone might-" She was cut off as he interrupted.

"-figure out that we're a couple. I know I know I just couldn't resist seeing your pretty smile." At that statement Ginny smiled. "I'll go now so no one gets suspicious." He said getting up finishing the whispered conversation. Ginny just smiled as he left and started daydreaming, absent mindedly sipping her butterbeer.

Harry had finally escaped Hermione's homework tyrant having finished all of his. He was glad he had decided to do most of his earlier in the week so he didn't have to be doing it with Hermione snapping at him every time he asked a question. Poor Ron was probably having his head bitten off.

He decided to go to the kitchen for a quick snack before Quidditch practice. The team had tryouts while Hermione was gone. Harry was captain and seeker again; Ginny was a chaser along with Mackenzie and Rosie two 5th years. The keeper was still Ron and the beaters were two 6th years named Kevin and Tyler. The team was looking really good and practices were tough workouts which was why Harry was getting food. He would need energy for today's two hour practice.

He got to the fruit painting and tickled the pear to get in. As it swung open there were at least a dozen elf's running over and surrounding him, asking him what he wanted.

"Something I can take with me to Quidditch practice." He said and they all ran for something different. Not five seconds later they were all back holding something different. He took two apples and a water bottle then slowly backed out of the kitchen as they all asked him if he wanted anything else and started bringing more stuff. Finally getting out of the kitchen and ran into someone.

"I'm so sorry." He said reaching out and steadying whoever it was.

"That's ok. Thanks for helping me." She said and smiled up at him.

He just smiled back. "Welcome." Then he continued walking out to the pitch. When he got to the doors to the castle he realized that a Slytherin had just said thanks to him. Strange things were certainly happening today.

"Ron, stop asking me all those questions!" Hermione said mad, Ron had asked her at least one question per minute for the past hour. "Do it by yourself." She said angrily throwing her things in her bag and getting up. She stormed out of the library and ran into someone as she turned the corner. She was about to fall, but they reach out and steadied her. The person she had run into was Draco.

"You should watch where you're going Granger." He sneered at her.

"Like it was my fault, it was you who wasn't watching where they were going." She spat out with just as much venom. Then stomped away muttering under her breath, she couldn't believe him, he was such a git.

Draco watched Hermione stomp away for a second before walking away himself. Why did she have to be so obnoxious all the time? She was a stupid beaver know-it-all!

Ron couldn't believe Hermione had just left him like that to fend for himself. He was never going to get all his homework done in time. He groaned in frustration.

"Do you need help?" Asked a soft voice behind him, he turned around to see Padma Patil.

"If you don't mind that would be great, I'm really lost." He said smiling

"No I don't mind helping. Being a Ravenclaw homework is one of my specialty's." She said laughing a little, Ron laughed too.

An hour later thanks to Padma Ron had all of his homework finished, and with what he could assume with the right answers.

"Thanks." He said as they were packing up all their stuff.

"Welcome." She gave him a small smile. "If you need any more help come find me or owl me."

"I will." He said then before she could leave added. "Would you like to come to Hogsmead with me sometime like on a date?" As he said that his cheeks flushed the typical Weasley red.

Hermione made it back to her common room without running into anyone and found Ginny in there eating an orange.

"How did you get in?" She asked curiously.

"I have my sources." She said a twinkle in her eye.

"You guessed didn't you?"

"Maybe…"

Suddenly the common room door swung open and Malfoy walked in. Hermione and Ginny looked up and watched as Draco just walked past them and straight up to his room. He didn't say anything and he didn't even look at them.

"What's up with you two?" Ginny asked

"Not going to talk about it." She answered

Ginny didn't push Hermione; she'd just corner Draco later and ask him.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Ginny asked

"Actually Ginny, I don't mean to be rude but I just want to go to bed right now. I've had a long day."

"Ok Hermione, but promise you'll tell me some time?" She asked

"Maybe." Then the brown eyed girl got up and went to bed.

A month went by and it was now mid-October Draco and Hermione still haven't talked to each other. There were back to square one. Ginny was determined to put an end to it. All she had to do was go enlist the help of her dearest brothers, and one Blaise Zabini.
