Chapter
It started in the Hogshead.
Later, Ginny wouldn't be quite sure who was really to blame. If she had to guess, she probably would have blamed Draco but then, she always blamed him so it was fair enough.
Once the six girls got into Hogsmeade, they made a bee-line for the Hogshead.
Blaine was congenial and laughed politely at all the jokes though it was pretty obvious she was concerned primarily with Luna. Ginny watched them and had to wonder what would come of that. Luna was blissfully unaware of Blaine's attention but then she had always been a little clueless, even when Blaise Zabini had been interested.
Ginny giggled slightly as they took their seats, mentally envisioning the fight that would ensue if Luna ever showed her affection to a man other than Blaise.
"What's got you in a good mood?" Parvati asked, taking a seat across from Ginny.
"Oh, nothing really. Just thinking about the relationships around here."
"What relationships?" she griped. "Mione over there is the only one in a real relationship and frankly, I don't know how much of a blessing that is."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't tell me you haven't noticed your brother playing that jealousy card."
Ginny looked around in surprise. Sure enough, Ron was sitting in a corner by himself, glaring at Pansy.
"Merlin, my brother's such an i…"
"Such a what?"
Ginny didn't reply and Parvati turned to look at her. Ginny was staring off at her brother with a look of satanic glee on her face.
Parvati looked over at Ron only to see he was looking at someone else and blushing fiercely.
Parvati followed his gaze and felt her jaw drop.

Blaine Cook was easily the prettiest girl Ron Weasley had ever seen. Hermione was lovely but she paled when placed next to Blaine.
A normal boy would wonder why he had never seen a girl like Blaine before. Why he hadn't noticed her all year. Girls wonder less about that sort of thing. And given the fact that all the girls in question had spent the majority of the school year to date on pirate ships rather than common rooms, it is understandable that the Pirates wouldn't be as familiar with all the school.
Ron however, should have noticed a girl like Blaine before. Then again…this is Ron we're talking about here.
Whatever the reason, Ron hadn't noticed Blaine before and he personally gave no thought to the matter beyond that.
Ron did notice how close she clung to Luna Lovegood. Was she gay? Wouldn't that just be his luck, he thought irritably. But no, the girl kept sending significant looks to Draco Malfoy. Maybe she just went for blonds.
Which should have meant that Ron wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell but we all know Ron's skill at deductive reasoning, don't we?
In any case, Ron was halfway to the new girl when something distracted him.
"How dare you!" echoed the dulcet tones of his kid sister. He turned in time to see her leap onto the table, drawing her sword. Across from her, Draco Malfoy grinned and joined her on the table, blade meeting hers.
(A/N: I promised you tabletop duels and Jealous Ron. Never let it be said that I don't carry through.
To K: So sorry for the delay. I will be better, I swear!
To E: Normally I update two to ten stories a week (depending how much typing I've gotten done in the week) usually I have a new update per story about once every other month. I will try better and hopefully this story will be updated soon. It better be, since there are only 2 more chapters.
To Akujin666: Glad you liked it all! And I don't mind the rambling. Blaise is pretty much dressing like a girl to distract Luna.
To Erika: Glad to hear it and sorry for the delay!
To Awesome: Thanks!
To Want MoRe...: Thanks! Sorry for the delay.
To lol1017: So sorry for the delay! Things will be better, I swear!
