Harry pushed his food around his plate with his fork. It was lunchtime, and Harry, even after a whole morning of Potions, and having to put up with Snape and his constant bitching about him, he wasn't hungry.

There was however, a reason as to why he was able to last a whole morning of Potions and not feel hungry any more, and the reason was sitting a few spaces down the Gryffindor table. Harry watched as Ginny Weasley engrossed herself in conversation with Pavati Patil and Lavender Brown about the up and coming Yule Ball, that was to be held over Christmas.

Yes, it was true, Harry Potter was in love, and with his best friends baby sister no less. Well it was bound to happen right? Ginny Weasley was one of his closest female friends that he didn't consider a sister. Unlike Hermione. He spent most summer holidays and a few Christmas holidays at her house and they were both Gryffindors. Over the last two years, Harry had grown fond of her, realizing that she wasn't just Rons baby sister, who hung around them like an annoying little lap dog. She had really blossomed and had grown into a beautiful young lady.

But unfortunately for Harry, Ginny had gotten over her 'Little crush' that she had had over him in their younger years, and was now moving in different circles. She was now considered one of the prettiest girls in the school, and it wasn't surprising that she was high on the list of girls to be asked out.

Fortunately, for Harry, she was currently single, however Harry secretly knew, that she had a crush on a certain, Slytherin. Yep, Draco Malfoy, with out even being aware of it, had got one over on Harry, and stolen his heart.

Ginny, being very close to Harry, had told him about it one day in full confidence that he wouldn't tell a soul. Ofcourse he hadn't. He couldn't even admit it to himself at times. Life was complicated being the boy of bloody lived. If it wasn't Voldemort ruining his life, it was something, or someone else. Could things GET any worse?

Harry sighed heavily and dropped his fork down on his plate. Hermione, who sat next to him, noticed this, and leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"Everything ok?"

Harry jumped at hearing her voice, but covered it up quickly and nodded.

Hermione laughed. She looked down the row of people sitting at the Gryffindor table and her eyes landed on Ginny. She then looked back at Harry and his eyes were glued to the red head. Hermione smiled knowingly to herself. She had had her suspicions about this for a while, but now she was sure. She leaned over to Harry again and whispered:

"Why don't you just talk to her...?"

Harry took his eyes of Ginny and began to look jumpy as he tried to look any where else. "I-I dunno what you are talking about 'Mione"

Hermione just laughed. "Sure Harry. My mistake. You weren't just looking at Ginny just now like you wanted to jump over this very table and sweep her off her feet. Oh and you weren't looking at her the other day when you were both doing your homework in the library." Hermione smirked and turned back to her food, knowing she had screwed up the thoughts going round Harry's little head.

Harry sat in silence for a moment, opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. "I-I don't...er...know-"

"Oh Harry" Hermione snapped. "Just admit it. I know you and I know what you are like. It's not something to be ashamed of. Look at me and Ron. We've been friends for years and we got together in the end."

"Yes but-"

"But nothing." Hermione and Harry both watched as Ginny got up form her seat and left the Great Hall. She then elbowed him in the ribs, making him wince. "Go after her. GO!" she added when he wouldn't move. Worried that he would get pummeled to death by a girl, and his friend no less, he shot up from his seat, and ran out to the Entrance Hall. What he saw, made him stop.

Ginny stood at the foot of the stairs, and a little ahead of her, was none other than Draco Malfoy, standing with a group of friends, which consisted of Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini. Ginny was edging towards them, trying to get to Draco through the other two.

Harry mentally kicked Ginny. What was she doing? There was no way she was going to ask Malfoy out. No way in hell. It would be social suicide. If he had the guts, he would run over there right now, grab Ginny round the waist, throw her over his shoulder, then take her back to Gryffindor tower and giver her a good talking to. But as it was, the Great Hero of the Wizarding world was hiding behind a statue watching the whole episode unfold.

Ginny managed to get a little closer, and by now, she had been noticed by Pansy.

"What do you want you little skank?" Pansy, was much taller than Ginny, and was physically scary, with her mahogany brown hair pulled tightly back in a pony tail, and her perfectly plucked eyebrows that made her look like the child of Satan.

Harry watched as Ginny winced at hearing herself being called 'skank' but she didn't have the guts to argue. Instead, she chose to ignore the remark, and turned to Draco. "I-I was just wondering if I could have a word with you D-Draco?" Now Ginny was shaking all over. She looked like a small child in the midst of three big ugly dragons.

Draco raised an elegant Blond eyebrow that disappeared under the bangs of his silky blond hair. "Oh? Well go on then. I haven't got all day."

Draco, was very tall, standing at about 6ft 3, therefore towered over Ginny, standing at 5ft6. His shoulder length hair made him look all the more menacing.

"Erm, can we go somewhere, m-more private?" Ginny asked, her voice barely audible.

Draco arched the other eyebrow, so now it seemed he was looking at her, disbelieving what she had just said. "Look Weasley, what ever you have to say, you can say it infront of these two..." he indicated to Blaise and Pansy, who were both modeling smirks. "They don't bite." Now Draco was smirking.

Harry, in his hiding place, winced. "They don't BITE. Ofcourse they bite. Their Snakes." Ginny was making a BIG mistake.

Ginny stayed put, and decided that this was the only way she was going to get the job done. It was very hard these days to get Draco on his own.

'Ok,' she told her self. 'Just say it'

Ginny mustered up all her courage, and opened her mouth to speak. "I was...just wondering...if you...... if you....-"

Draco rolled his eyes. "Come on Weasley, I don't have all day."

"I was wondering ifyouwantedtogooutwithme?" Ginny began to blush.

Pansy, Draco and Blaise all had similar expressions. None of them had heard what she had said.

"Huh?" Was Draco's fantastically witty reply.

'Not again. Don't make me say it again!' Ginny mentally begged.

"I didn't catch that Weasley" Draco's smirk was back. "You'll have to say it again."

Ginny closed her eyes, took a deep breathe and spoke. "Draco....would you do me the honour.....of......going out with me?"

Ginny opened one eye to try and catch the reaction. Pansy looked like she would drop dead at any moment. Blaise looked like he had seen a three headed Dragon that was ready to tear him apart, and Draco.....Draco was...... smirking.

'Oh no' Harry sighed, awaiting the bomb to drop. And it did.

"Weasley." Draco began. "I don't think there would ever be a time, even if the world came to an end, we were the only two people left, and the future of mankind depended on us, would I EVER, even CONSIDER, going out, with you!" He practically spat the 'you' at the end.

Pansy began to laugh, as did Blaise. Ginny had tears welling up in her eyes.

"Awww....is the ickle baby gonna cry?" Pansy spoke, trying hard not to laugh too hard. The three were now huddled around her, so there was no way of escape for the poor girl, and they were all laughing their heads off like wild Hyenas. Ginny looked anywhere that wasn't at Draco.

Ginny now had tears rolling down her cheeks, and without thought, she pushed past Pansy, with out looking back, and tore off up the stairs heading to wards Gryffindor tower.

Harry, however, not afraid of Malfoy nor his clonies in the slightest, was fuming as he stepped out of his hiding place and approached the three.

"Ah Potter," Draco drawled. "Come to see what you're competing against. Seriously I thought she had a crush on YOU"

Harry, with out giving an answer, pushed Draco with all his might so Draco went tumbling to the floor. "Way to go Malfoy," he said when Draco was sat on his bum on the cold stone floor. "You just had to go an say that didn't you. Is there any emotion in your body that would enable you to treat someone with a little more respect?"

Draco, who was fuming now aswell, stood up at full height to face Harry. They both stood at roughly the same height, although Harry was slightly taller. They were almost nose to nose when Draco voiced: "No Potter. I don't believe there is such emotion." And he smirked. This about did it for Harry. He drew back his arm, and threw a punch, which hit Draco, right smack on the nose. Draco was sent to the floor for the second time that day, clutching a swollen, bloody nose. Pansy and Blaise were at his side in a flash. "You'll pay for that one Potter....Potter?" But Harry had gone.

Harry ran at top speed down corridor after corridor, taking the shortest route to Gryffindor possible. He finally reached it and said the password to the fat lady.

He was let into the common room, which was empty of all students. He ran to the girls staircase, a began to run up; However, he got half way up, when it turned into the oh so familiar slide, that had tormented the boys of Gryffindor for years, and he slid back down.

"Shit" he cursed, as he landed on his bum with a 'thump'. This was going to be a problem. He tried again, and again, and again, until he no longer had any feeling in his bum, and resulted in shouting instead.

"Ginny, GINNY! Are you up there? Ginny!"

"I'm over here Harry!"

Harry turned around to see Ginny walking through the Portrait hole. He rushed over to her and took her hands in his. "Are you ok? Where did you go?"

Ginny sniffed and wiped her nose with a tissue. "I was in the girls bathroom."

Harry led her over to the sofa and sat her down. "I guess you saw me make a fool of myself back there?" she said knowingly.

Harry nodded, not wanting to make it seem like he was spying on her. "Yeah. I did. Believe me Gin, he had no right to say that to you!"

Ginny let out a small laugh. "No, but I guess I should have expected that much right? I mean come on. He's Draco MALFOY."

Harry nodded. "Yeah. But sometimes we do silly things when we like someone."

Ginny wiped her nose again and smiled. "Yeah." When she looked like she was on the verge of tears again, Harry grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into his chest, and hugged her tight. Ginny held onto him round the waist so tight, it was almost as if her life depended on it. "Thanks Harry." She said. "You're a good friend."

Harry's heart suddenly sank. 'Friend'. That was all he was ever going to be. Just her friend.
