A/N: Bon Appetite! (I totally think I spelled that wrong, but I'm too lazy to look it up… D )

Ginny walked—well, stomped— through the halls towards Draco's dorm. How dare Harry! The nerve, the goddamn nerve, of him! Thinking that, after all he had done to her; he could just kiss her and ask her to come back to him. He hadn't even broken up with Lavender yet, and he was already trying to snog her in the school library. Dumb git, she silently fumed.

But then, she couldn't really say his behavior was that much of an improvement from the rest of Gryffindor. Even Emma, Ginny's long time best friend disapproved of the time she spent with Draco. She had barely spoken to Emma in two weeks, ever since the night they had their first real fight.

Flashback

Ginny was crudely awaken by her best friend, Emma, throwing open the curtains surrounding her four poster bed. Ginny sat up, yawning, ready to get ready to go down to breakfast when she belatedly noticed her friends angry face.

"What?" Ginny asked, bewildered.

"Where were you last night?" Emma demanded harshly. Ginny blinked.

"I went to Hogsmead with Draco last night. I thought I'd told you—"

"Well you didn't. And all night I was wondering where you'd disappeared to, wondering if I should tell Ron, worrying about—"

"You didn't tell Ron did you?" Ginny said in alarm. Of course Ron knew she was "dating" Draco, but that didn't mean she wanted him knowing she was sneaking off to Hogsmead with him after hours.

But Emma just crossed her arms and Ginny would swear she saw her eyes narrow.

"No, I didn't tell Ron that his baby sister was gone until 2 am last night with his worst enemy." Ginny breathed a sigh of relief, but it only seemed to set Emma off. "Ginny, what is with you? Where's my best friend? You know, the one who got along with her brother, who hung out with her best friend every once in a while, the one who hated Draco Malfoy?"

"Emma… I didn't know you were so upset about me dating Malfoy, you never told me. I can't help it if Ron refuses to talk to me, and I promise we'll schedule a girls night, just you and me, really soon! As for me dating Draco, well, things change…"

Emma threw her hands up in exasperation. "Ginny, do you hear yourself? Draco Malfoy! He's a heartbreaker Ginny! We used to sneer at the way he used girls like dirt. And now you're dating him!?! I just don't get it." Emma sat down heavily next to her best friend. "Ginny, he's going to break your heart. I just don't want to see you get hurt."

"I won't. Draco's not going to hurt me, I won't let him. I'm not in love with him or anything, Emma, I'm just dating him."

"Why then?" Emma exclaimed, "Why even date him? Why even bother with that Slytherin if you don't care about him?"

"Because I want to, Emma! And I'm not going to break up with him, just because you, or Ron, or all of bloody Gryffindor want me to!" Ginny strode to the dorms door. "And if you can't handle that, well then, I guess we weren't really as good of friends as I thought we were."

Emma sat dejectedly on her best friends bed.

"I guess not."

Ginny slowed her pace as she thought about her best friend. Truth be told, she missed Emma. Ginny wished she could sit up 'til 3 in the morning gossiping and talking about guys. Ginny had even tried to apologize to her friend the next day and Emma had just avoided her. It hurt her a lot, she didn't tell Draco about her fight with her best friend over him.

She sped up her pace as she neared the Slytherin Common room. She mumbled the password, ignoring the rude comments the painting made at her for being a Gryffindor, and walked in. And stopped. Blaise Zambini was lounging on the couch, Draco no where in sight.

"Hey there Red. Looking for Malfoy?"

"Yeah, he said he was going to meet up with you." Blaise raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm. He just headed stomped right up to his dorm. He's in quite a mood today."

Ginny just shrugged and headed up to Draco's dorm. Opening up the door Ginny smirked, and peeked around the door hoping to surprise him. And she froze.

Oh God, not again…

AN: I didn't like this chapter, but I think I'll write the next one without waiting 5 months to continue. Please review.
