"It is difficult to say who do you the most mischief: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best." - Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Hermione walked into the Gryffindor Common Room that night after prefect rounds to find Ron and Harry conversing quietly on the couch. They looked up when they heard her come in and motioned for her to come sit with them. She sighed inwardly, but went over to them and sat next to Harry.

"We need your help, Hermione." Ron said as she sat down. "We have to find a way to get Ginny back. They've obviously done something to her."

"Ron, seriously?" Hermione said exasperated.

"What?" Ron asked oblivious.

"Let her go. She can take care of herself." Hermione said standing up and going up towards the girls' area.

"But Hermione!" Ron yelled standing up. "You don't care that my little sister is dating a Slytherin and is in Slytherin?"

"I do care, Ronald." Hermione said turning. "I care enough to know that she wants to be treated like an adult. She hates being babied and protected by you. She wants to be her own person. I know that if she's happy than I'm happy and you should be too."

"No, I can't!" Ron yelled at her. "This isn't right! She's supposed to be with Harry. She's supposed to be in Gryffindor! This is all wrong and I'm going to make it right!"

Hermione shook her head, tears forming in her eyes. "I hope you fail, Ronald. This is the first time I have seen her truly happy. I won't ruin it." Hermione turned and left the room.

Ron looked at Harry confused and said, "What did I do?"

"Don't look at me. I just want Ginny back." Harry said quietly. "Forget about her; let's focus on one thing at a time. So, first let's get Gin back."

Ron nodded and sat back down next to Harry to discuss plans.

Blaise walked Ginny back to the common room after dinner. Once inside he immediately walked to his room leaving Ginny just standing there. She stared after him. I guess it's back to the old Blaise. She thought as she sighed. She went to her room to find only Astoria. She was lying on her bed crying softly.

"Astoria!" Ginny said running over to her. "What happened?"

Astoria shot up wiping the tears off her face. "Oh, hi Ginny." She answered quietly. "I just got into an argument with Draco."

"Draco? I didn't think you were even friends." Ginny said confused.

"I really wish I could explain, but it's not my secret to tell. I'll be fine so don't worry about me." Astoria said getting up. "I'm going to take a shower." Then she walked to the bathroom and disappeared.

Ginny shook her head sadly. Sorry Astoria, she thought, I'm not about to let this go. He hurt you and I'm going to find out why. She turned and went to find Draco's room. She wandered around for about ten minutes before she had walked by it twice. She went up to the door and knocked. Nothing happened for a moment and then Draco opened the door, shirtless. Ginny stared at him. He looked at her dully.

"Stop staring, Weaslette." He drawled. Back to old Draco as well, this is just peachy. Ginny though exasperatedly. "What do you want?" he asked annoyed after a few moments.

"I want to know why Tori is bawling her eyes out in the girls room." Ginny said authoritatively.

"Not going to happen." Draco said closing the door. Ginny put her hand out and stop the door.

"Oh, I think it is." She said smirking and she walked into his room. Draco sighed but closed the door behind her.

"Nice room." Ginny commented amicably.

"I know." Draco answered. "Can we just get his over with?"

"Sure" Ginny answered taking a seat on his bed. "What happened? She went running out of breakfast after you. I don't see her the rest of the day and then after dinner I find her sobbing in our room. What the hell did you do to her?"

Draco looked at the floor. "I might have yelled at her."

"That wouldn't make her this upset. What did you say?" Ginny asked exasperated.

"I was upset. I told her to stay out of my business."

"Draco, stop it!" Ginny yelled at him. They stood there in silence for a few minutes. Then Ginny said softly. "It had to do with Voldemort, didn't it?"

Draco walked over to the wall and put his arm against it. Astoria's words kept echoing in his mind. "What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?" Draco, let us help you. Don't use Ginny and Blaise, because you'll lose them forever if you do. But, if let them in, let them help you, you will be that much stronger.

Ginny watched him silently. She knew he was conflicted and that this was going to be one of the hardest things he ever did. He would have to accept that he could not do it alone and needed help.

"I can't." Draco finally said. Ginny didn't react; she simply nodded and began to leave.

"Wait." Came his voice again. She turned to face him and saw the pure desperation in his eyes. "I need to know something. Hypothetically speaking. Would you be willing to help me with a mission to get Potter?"

Ginny shook her head solemnly. "Draco, don't ask me that. I can't betray them like that. I have done enough by just being in this house. Harry and Ron have probably already come up with some horrible plan to get me back."

"I see."

"But, I would be willing to help get you free of Voldemort. Never underestimate the power of friends, Draco." She said and then left leaving Draco to ponder his future.

Ginny went back to her room to find Astoria doing homework on her bed. She looked up as Ginny came in and closed the door.

"Where have you been?" Astoria asked curiously.

"Talking to Draco." Ginny answered going over to her trunk and rummaging for her pajamas.

"Ginny." Astoria said dangerously. "You shouldn't have done that."

"I didn't do anything, Astoria. I merely had a civil conversation with him. But, I do think he fancies you." Ginny said slyly.

"Ginny Weasley!" Astoria said shocked. "You didn't!"

"Didn't what?" Ginny asked innocently.

"You didn't tell him about my feeling, did you?"

"And, Ladies and Gentlemen! She admits it!" Ginny said laughing, Astoria just glared at her. Ginny sighed. Slytherins have no humor.

"Of course I didn't tell him. I didn't have confirmation until now." Ginny said condescendingly. "Astoria I would never tell anyone else's secrets."

"Ok" Astoria said giving in. "We should probably go to bed."

"Yeah," Ginny said putting on the rest of her pajamas. "Hey, where is everyone?"

"Hmm… Oh, the girls never come back till really late. They're off snogging or shagging the boys to all hours of the night. That's probably really different from Gryffindor."

"It is," Ginny answered thoughtfully. "What about Blaise and Draco?"

"They're numbers one and two for number of girls shagged. There's all kinds of rumors about them. Who knows what's actually true." Astoria said nonchalantly

"Astoria, I know you know more than that." Ginny said raising her eyebrows.

"I know about Draco mostly, not Blaise." Astoria said quietly. "Draco puts on the who bad boy act. I only know of one girl he has actually shagged. The rest are a mystery of what actually happened. I don't know anything about Blaise, except what I hear from everyone else. According to popular belief, he's number two next to Draco. But then again, Draco's known numbers aren't actually quite accurate. That's all I know really."

"I see." Ginny said biting her lip slightly. "Well, good night."

"Good night."

Who are you Blaise Zabini? Ginny thought as she drifted to sleep. What are you hiding from the world?
