So I'm having a bit of a hiccup.
Yesterday I had factory restored my phone. I made sure I backed all my rough drafts up before I did.
Well apparently I didn't. So I lost them all smh.
Some ended up on Google Docs thankfully, but a story that I hadn't mentioned plus some other chapters that I was working on didn't make it. So The Seduction Of Ginevra Weasley, Nine Months, my unreleased story, and Death Eater's Revenge took a hit. Idk where to even start.
So once again, updating those will be delayed. I'm so sorry. Imma try my best to see what I can remember, but as of now, there won't be any updates anytime soon.
On a brighter note, you guys will finally find out who Luka Krum really is…..well, you'll get a clue lol.
On with the fic :)
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry.
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cause I know that you're living a lie. That's okay baby, 'cause in time
You will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around.

Chapter Thirty: The Break-Up
The next morning, Ginny got up extra early so it wouldn't look like she had spent the night in Draco's room. She went back to her room, took a shower, and got dressed in her uniform, keeping her tie and vest trim Slytherin green, as she had decided to remain in Slytherin.
As she was coming out the room with her things, she saw Romilda coming out of her room, dragging her trunk.
"Hey Ro." said Ginny, cheerfully.
"Oh, hi Ginny." said Romilda. "Dreary feeling morning, isn't it?"
" Kind of. So you're moving back to Gryffindor?"
"Yeah I've decided I'd rather be there with my friends."
"Yeah. Maybe that's best." said Ginny.
"See you're staying here. Gonna be closer to Luka, yeah?" asked Romilda.
"That reminds me." said Hint, glad she brought him up. "Could you and Draco meet Luka and I outside the great hall after dinner?"
"I guess so. Why?" asked Romilda, hesitantly.
"I just needed to talk to you three about something important. Something that I didn't want to get out, and I trust you three, you know?"
"Ohjj. Alright then. I'll make sure Draco and I are there. See you at breakfast." said Romilda, dragging her trunk out of the door, the loudness of it waking Draco up out of his peaceful slumber.
"What the bloody fuck?" he asked, peeking his head out the door.
"That was Romilda moving her trunk out." said Ginny, walking past Draco back into his room.
"Hasn't she heard of levitation? It takes a lot of sleep to look this good." said Draco, smugly.
"If that's the case, you need to sleep a bit more, don't you think?" joked Ginny.
"You wished you looked this good."
"Why would I wish to look less better than I do already?"
"Welcome to Slytherin."
"So I told her that you and her will be talking to Luka and I after dinner." said Ginny, getting down to business.
Draco groaned, laying back down on the bed with his head in Ginny's lap, looking up at her. "Why so long? Why are you dragging this out? Can't we end this at like breakfast?"
"No we can't end it at breakfast. That would be inappropriate." said Ginny, rolling her eyes.
"There's a proper protocol to this shit?"
"Look, I wasn't exactly thinking, okay? I kind of winged it when I saw her this morning. But you're right. Wet should do it sooner rather than later. It would be wrong to drag it out and have them thinking that we still feel something." said Ginny.
"My sediments exactly." said Draco, jumping up. "Matter of fact, you go get Krum now, and I'll get Romilda before she gets the clue to levitate that shit and gets far."
"Right." said Ginny, following him out the door.
Ginny walked over to Luka's room, which was on the other side of Blaise's room, and knocked on the door.
"The bloody hell is that?" she heard a strange voice say. A man's voice. Was there another bloke in there?
"Luka?" said Ginny. "Its Ginny. Sorry I...is there someone else in there?"
The man let out a few coughs. "Just a cough, love, hold on." he said in a croaky voice.
He ran over to the dresser and took a swig of polyjuice potion. He then wrote a quick note to his supplier for more and stuck it in the pants pocket of the pants he was going to wear.
He opened the door to Ginny looking oddly at him.
"Morning Ginny-vera. Why are you up so early?" asked Luka, trying not to like disheveled.
"Hey. I just woke up really early and couldn't go back to sleep so I just showered and got ready for classes. Sorry if I woke you."
"Don't be. Romilda actually woke me up first dragging her silly trunk. Want to come in?" asked Luka, widening the door.
"No. I just came by to tell you Draco said he and Romilda needed to talk to us about something."
"This early?"
"I guess it couldn't wait until breakfast."
Luka eyed Ginny curiously. "Okay, let me just get myself ready." he said, closing the door.
15 minutes later, around the time they would normally be up, Luka, Ginny, Draco, Romilda, and a very nosy Blaise sat in the common room, ready to get this conversation on the road.
Ginny got up and stood in front of everyone, nervous as to what to say. Draco rolled his eyes and stood up with her.
"You always wanna do things on your own."he whispered in her ear, smirking.
"What's going on?" asked Romilda.
"Well, over the holidays, Ginny and I got to talking-"
Blaise let out a snort.
"about our relationship." finished Draco, glaring at a snickering Blaise.
"Relationship? What do you mean?" asked Luka.
"Well, Ginny and I dated last year, before the war. We had broken up, but still felt for each other."
"And you said you wanted to get it over with." mocked Ginny. "We're really sorry to the both of you, but we decided to get back together."
A silence fell across the room. And then an eruption.
"I knew it!" shrieked Romilda. "I knew that there was something going on between the two of you behind our backs!"
"It's not like that, Ro." said Draco, trying to calm her down. "We weren't doing anything. Well wait. We did do one thing while you two were gone, but-"
"What do you mean you did one thing?" asked Luka, getting up. "Are you trying to say that you shagged my fucking girlfriend?"
"You say that shit as if I forced her or something" said Draco, getting irate.
"What did you do? Love potion? Imperio?"
"Fuck off Krum, I would never!"
"Luka, no one convinced me to do anything, it just happened." said Ginny, irritated. "And that's when we figured out that we couldn't do this with you two anymore because we love each other."
"DRACO, YOU LOVE HER?!" exclaimed Romilda, now standing up.
Blaise munched on a chocolate bar that he had in his pocket.
"Yes, I do. I'm sorry, Ro, I really did like you, but I can't do this with you anymore. It's not right to Ginny, nor you." said Draco, trying to be sincere, but it was hard when Romilda seemed to be acting like a child.
"So she's the reason you rejected me last night?!"
Ginny couldn't help but chuckle slightly, thinking about it.
"Yeah. I couldn't do that with you knowing what we were going to be talking about now. Plus...Ginny was under the bed."
Luka sighed as he watched Romilda's face turn red with anger. "I can't believe you led me on like this Draco Malfoy! You completely wasted my time!"
"Don't talk to him like that!" yelled Ginny.
"I can yell at him all I want, he's my, well now my ex-boyfriend. You and him cheated on us, fucking all through the holidays!"
"Actually it was only once, and yeah that was bad, but I'm sorry, Ro. Ginny and I are together.."
"Romilda, there is no need to lose yourself." said Luka, placing a calming hand on Romilda's shoulder. "If they wanna be together, let them. It's not the end of the world. Malfoy isn't the end of all men."
Draco scoffed at his words.
"So you're not mad?" asked Ginny quietly.
"I'm a bit disappointed, but who am I to get in the way of what was already established before I got here? There are others. Come on, let's go." said Luka, turning Romilda and leading her to his room, shutting the door after them.
Draco, Blaise, and Ginny looked at the door suspiciously. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say those two have been fucking around all along." said Blaise.
"It's weird isn't it?" asked Ginny. "Why would he take her to his room?"
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Draco, looking back and forth from Ginny to Blaise, both nodding.
The three crept quietly to the door. Ginny took out a pair of her brother's extendable ears, put a disillusion charm on one of them, and slipped it under the door.
"I don't care, I actually liked him." they hears Romilda say.
"Yeah right. You knew all along that he didn't care for you the way you cares for him. You should have stayed fucking his mate. At least you knew what that was."
"Yeah. He just used me for sex. Just like you're using me for your sick twisted game."
"Oh come on young one, don't act like you're not enjoying it."
"Whatever, old man. You could have chosen some other unsuspecting witch to fuck with."
"I could. But no one else-"
"I know, I know. I can't believe you miss her. All you Death Eaters are crazy."
"Yeah, well, once I get my revenge and take over this bloody school, I'll show you exactly how crazy I can get. Now, get your ass over here. I feel like a quick shag before class is in order."
Ginny pulled the ear from under the door. The three hurried out of the common room and up the hall, well away from Slytherin dungeon.
"Death Eater? He's a bloody Death Eater?" said Blaise.
"Gin, you didn't see the mark?" asked Draco.
"How? I never saw him without a jumper or a long sleeve shirt." said Ginny. "Why did she call him an old man? And he call her a young one? Luka is only a year older than her, like I am."
"Should we let on we know?" asked Blaise.
"Not yet." said Draco. "At least not to them. Maybe we should tell Potter and the others, so they can keep a watch when we can't."
The two nodded and headed off to breakfast, minds racing, trying to figure out who Luka really was, and why was he here.
