A/NOkay, first things first this isn't one of my better chapters (again) but I've tried my best, this will be the only chapter until Monday seeing as tomorrow I'm staying at my boyfriends and Friday I'm going to Scarborough until the Monday so this is just to show I've not forgotten you guys. ALSO seeing as I have 39 reviews and slowly edging closer to 50, I have decided that the 50th reviewer gets the chance to write the opening paragraph to the chapter after the one they have reviewed. I will also do this for every 50th review, so you may get the chance to write in this fanfic. Anyway enough rambling, on with the chapter ^.^.

Hermione held onto Draco's hand as they walked down the grounds, the sun was beating down on the group bathing them all in a slight warmth. "So, Draco how did the Slytherin's react?" Hermione asked curiously. Draco looked at her. "Pansy's not too happy about it but isn't going to interfere, she's going to try and speak to Blaise, Theodore and Daphne later though and try to convince them to just leave it." He replied. Hermione sighed and shook her head, zipping her baby blue hooded top up. She then looked to Ginny and Harry and saw Harry hugging Ginny and rubbing her back. Hermione sighed sadly. Harry peered past Ginny and to Hermione with a sad expression on his face. The four continued walking until they reached the Black Lake and they all sat together. Harry sat with his arms around Ginny's waist and her head resting on his shoulder. Draco sat and grabbed Hermione's waist gently before pulling her onto his knee. Hermione blushed and snuggled up to Draco. "How are you feeling Ginny?" Draco asked the youngest Weasley slowly. Ginny shrugged slightly. "Better." She said her voice hoarse. Hermione felt Draco tighten his arms around her waist and shift her into a more comfortable position. "I think, during the Christmas holidays, me and you should go to Diagon Alley and see George, stay over or something." Hermione suggested.
"I miss George and seeing him would make me feel better." Ginny admitted. "But there'll be so many memories of Fred." She sighed.
"I know that but maybe being around Fred indirectly would be nice for you." Hermione said softly. Ginny thought for a moment and nodded weakly. "I'll send him an owl asking later." Ginny said. Hermione shook her head, "I will." Hermione said softly. Ginny smiled weakly to Hermione before snuggling further into Harry.

The morning passed slowly and the sun shone stronger, making the lake glisten magically, the Giant Squid lazily surfaced and bathed in the sun, Hermione watched it with a smile as Harry, Ginny and surprisingly Draco started talking about Quidditch. "I'm resigning from the Quidditch team." Draco admitted boredly. "Why?" Hermione asked.
"Can't be doing with it; and the broom I have has too much relation to my father." He said, his tone hardening slightly. Harry tilted his head, "You used to be pretty good at Quidditch Malfoy." Harry admitted shamefacedly. Draco laughed. "Thanks Potter." He replied. Ginny and Hermione exchanged amused expressions. The pair may be talking and getting along but calling them friends would never really happen. Hermione thought as she listened to the two conversing. Hermione stretched and began running her fingers boredly along Draco's chest drawing swirly patterns. She felt Draco flinch but then relaxed when he realised it was her. "I need to start planning for the upcoming Quidditch season actually." Harry mused. "I need to start auditions for different positions. I need two chasers and two beaters. I only have a captain, seeker and one chaser." He chuckled. Hermione smiled and tilted her head. "I'm guessing you'll be doing that mid-September then." She said knowingly. Harry nodded. "I'll need to peel Ron off Lavender though I need him there." Harry frowned. "Will you need me?" Ginny asked. Harry nodded. "I need to see the charisma and teamwork between everyone." Harry replied.
"Smart tactic." Draco said boredly. "Lavender will still come along though. She'll want to watch 'Won-won' on his broom." Draco said, imitating Lavender crudely. Harry, Ginny and Hermione started laughing, "Will you be going Hermione?" Draco asked.
"Probably, I like watching them all train, it passes the time. And it'll give me a chance to rub in Lavender's face her attempt at ruining my life is failing." Hermione replied confidently. Draco laughed. "Malfoy has been such a bad example on you Hermione." Harry said playfully.
"At least I don't put up with rubbish anymore." Hermione pointed out. Harry nodded.
"That's true." Ginny agreed. Hermione saw Draco smirk before kissing her cheek.
"That's my girl." He said with a smirk. Hermione smiled mischievously and lay back against him.
"What can I say, I hate the girl." Hermione said simply. Harry chuckled and kissed Ginny's hair.
"I wonder when the Hogsmeade trip is." Harry said suddenly. Hermione, Draco and Ginny all shrugged. "Do you want to go together?" Draco asked Hermione. "We could go on a little date, my treat." He said softly. Hermione nodded and smiled.
"I'd like that." She replied softly, kissing Draco softly.

A/N Okay, not very good – in my opinion – but there you go, like I said up there my 50th reviewer can write the opening paragraph to a following chapter but there is a few rules.
1) It must make sense
2) No lemons
3) I may or may not give you a brief overview of the chapter and you can work a opening paragraph around that
4) I will credit you!
5) Have fun with it.
6) This will happen for every 50th reviewer so good luck all =)
7) No spamming

Don't not review waiting to be the 50th (if that's what you want to do) because if you do that, no one will be the 50th and if you miss out this time there's always the 100th review and so on =)
