Breakfast in the Great Hall was an interesting affair that morning. Ginny - oblivious as always to the attention bestowed upon her by the majority of the male population of Hogwarts - sat blithely at the Gryffindor table, eating a muffin. Her brother on the other hand, who had been increasingly aware of the situation, had begun the unfortunate habit of glaring at every single boy who happened to glance at his sister.

"DEAN -" He tried to launch himself over the table at the other boy, but Hermione, without even glancing up from her book, fastened the back of Ron's robe with a practiced grip and pulled him down grimly. Dean only grinned slightly at his antics, waving cheekily.

Causing the older Weasley's face to turn an ugly puce that Uncle Vernon would have been proud of.

Ginny turned to her older brother, a frown gracing her elf-like features.

"Ron, must you make such a big deal out of nothing?"

"NOTHING?" he bellowed.

"Ronald," Hermione warned, finally looking up from her book. Ron slouched in his seat, sulking slightly. Ginny, of course, returned to her muffin.

She had fallen in love with blueberry muffins in her second year - for some strange reason, eating them helped relieve the nightmares that plagued her sleep every night. She slowly swirled the tip of her tongue around the top of the muffin, closing her eyes momentarily as the sprinkled sugar loosened and entered her mouth. A second lick got rid of the remaining sugar, and she smiled slightly as she then took a satisfying bite out of the top of the muffin. A collective groan could be heard in the Great Hall, many cringing in their seats and quickly turning their gazes away.

A slow grin widened on Ginny's face as she quickly demolished the rest of the muffin, then reached for another.

Maybe she wasn't so oblivious after all, Draco Malfoy mused from the other side of the hall. Contemplating the blueberry muffins on the table in front of him, he pocketed one. It would come in handy later.
