Harry sat on a sofa in the common room working on his Transfiguration essay. Classes today had gone by uneventful and usual. There had been no problems with Draco Malfoy today, but now that Harry thought about it there had been no anything with Draco Malfoy today. He hadn't seen Malfoy at all today.
Harry didn't dwell on this for long. He probably just skipped today because he thought he was too cool to grace Hogwarts with his presence today. Harry snorted in disgust. Stupid bloody Malfoy.
It wasn't long before Ginny came over and sat next to Harry on the sofa. He looked up and smiled at her, she smiled back. Sighing, he set aside his essay and looked into her eyes. She really was a very pretty girl.
"Hey Ginny," he greeted her smilingly.
"Hey Harry, how's that going?" She asked, nodding towards his homework. He sighed heavily and rolled his eyes. Ginny knew just how much Harry hated essays. And Hermione was too busy out arguing with Ron to avoid the raging sexual tension between them to help Harry.
"Why don't you take a break for awhile?" Ginny suggested and Harry accepted gratefully.
They ended up sitting there by the fire, talking for hours. They talked about everything; love, school, Lord Voldemort (although avoided this topic as much as possible), books they'd read, the inevitable question of when Hermione and Ron would get together, and just anything else they could think of.
By the end of the conversation Harry felt closer to Ginny than he ever had before. He didn't hesitate to tell her so. She blushed slightly and told him she felt the same. When it was time to go to sleep, he hugged her and he realized how warm she felt in his arms.
The parting was reluctant and as Harry climbed the steps to the dormitory he couldn't help the warm, comfortable feeling that was trickling and spreading through his body.
Ginny had always been there, had fit in with them easily, and Harry reckoned Ron wouldn't mind so much if it was Harry that Ginny chose. In fact, come to mention it, Ron had even suggested it a few times.
He fell asleep thinking of long red hair and Ginny's warm presence and familiar yet breathtaking smile. However in his dreams were of something else entirely. His dreams were of stormy gray eyes and porcelain skin and a smile that he'd never seen before coming from lips that he knew so well.
But when he woke up, he didn't care for his dream at all. He just brushed it off as confusion with where Malfoy had been. And he quickly got dressed, eager to see Ginny.
When he reached the common room, he was delighted to see that she was waiting for him. Her eyes shone when she spotted him and her smile broadened. It was a beautiful day and the sun shone through the window and illuminated her face, making her look rather angelic.
The two walked to breakfast together as again, Hermione and Ron were arguing. Harry and Ginny were standing closer to each other than usual. And when their arms brushed together they let it linger so for a moment. The way they would touch was casual and not intimate at all, but they were sending a pretty obvious vibe that there was something between them.
As they were entering the great hall he looked over at her face. Her profile only added to how lovable she was. Her nose was slightly upturned and her freckles were sprinkled across it like stardust. Harry couldn't keep the adoration from his face, and a certain blonde Slytherin noticed.
Draco had purposely avoided any place Harry would turn up yesterday, but today he could do nothing and figured Harry would've forgotten the incident in potions class. Draco now realized, with a harsh pang, that he was right. Harry had completely forgotten. He was looking at the Weaslette's face as if she was the only person in the room. He looked completely head over heels for him, and the way her eyes sparkled betrayed that she felt the exact same way.
Draco scowled deeply. What did Harry see in her? She had no money. She wasn't pretty… well OK She was a little pretty but she had red hair. Harry could do better. Then Draco realized that Harry didn't want to. Harry had always chosen the Weasley's over Draco. From the first time on Hogwarts express when Draco's friendship was rejected to now, when here Draco was, his heart longing for Harry, and Harry's was longing for her.
The only consolation was that they weren't officially dating. That much was obvious as they were not holding hands (but Draco noted that they were still too close to each other for his liking) and there were no whispers or gossip surrounding them.
Draco could still stop this. But he couldn't help that anger he felt towards her. Stupid bloody Ginny Weasley.

FizzWizz – So we already knew that Harry was feeling lonely and his hormones were really getting to him. So he asked me for a girlfriend. And she arrived in the form of Ginny Weasley. No they aren't dating yet, as Draco observed. The question is: Will they? Or will Draco stop it before it happens?
Harry – I really do love Ginny. She's such a comfortable nice girl. All that pretty red hair, and she's so nice to everyone. I love that in a person…NICENESS.
Draco – FizzWizz…I will kill you. And I can be nice too. I swear I can! FizzWizz make me nice so Harry will notice me. –pouts-
FizzWizz – After you just threatened to kill me? Nahhh. Review pleeeease!
