a/n: as always, thanks to you all! enjoy and review!

"Ugh, you are such a pig." Pansy watched Blaise finish his sixth slice of cake, "How do you eat that much?"

"Dunno," he mumbled, "I like food."

"Don't talk with food in your mouth," Pansy said, disgusted.

"He acts like my brothers." Ginny whispered to Pansy.

"Telling secrets little Weasley?" Draco shifted in his chair, "Wouldn't you like to share?"

Ginny chose to ignore him.

"Can Dobby gets you more?" Dobby asked.

"No, Dobby. Thank you."

"Oh, it is Dobby's pleasure." He bobbed his head, "Master Draco?"

Draco shook his head, "I'm fine, thanks."

Ginny raised an eyebrow. Manners with a house elf? Where are the horsemen?

The portrait swung open and Ron and Harry stepped through. "Did you see page 59? Gods, the way her legs-" They noticed the Slytherins and Ginny. "Oh! Ginny, what are you doing?!" Ron yelled.

At the same time, "I thought I told you I didn't want you around them!" Harry reached out to grab her only to be blocked by two very solid male bodies.

"I don't think it'd be wise to come any closer." Pansy said from behind Blaise and Draco. "You've hurt her enough."

"Get out of my way!"

"You can't order me around, Potter." Draco spat out.

"Ginny! Get your arse out here now! I'll tell mum!" Ron's face red.

"Fine, tell her. And I'll tell her about the Playwizards under your mattress."

"They aren't there any more," Ron looked slightly smug.

"Then I'll tell her how you and Harry have treated me, and how Harry hurt me last night."

"I'm just protecting you! And Mum won't care that Harry won't date you."

Ginny stepped between the two Slytherin boys. "Is that what he told you?!"

"Ginny, everyone knows you've been smitten with Harry for years; it wasn't surprising that you ran off after he rejected you last night!"

Angry sparks flew off of her, "This," she pointed to her still bruised arms, " is what he did! Because I rejected him!"

"You lying whore!" Harry slapped her.

Pansy held Blaise back as Draco cast a jelly-legs jinx on Harry which Ginny followed with a Bat-boogey hex.

Ron grabbed his fallen companion. "That's it! I'm telling Dumbledore! I can't believe that my own sister is such a traitor!" They disappeared behind the swinging portrait.

Ginny silently sobbed as Blaise put his arm around her shoulder. "You going to be okay."

Pansy answered for her. "Of course she isn't. Lets go talk to Snape before we're all summoned to see Dumbledore."
