Lo turned to Jacob, honestly, she didn't know why they did. Was it just history that made them fight, or was it something else entirely? "I suppose, because we can," she said quietly, looking at him. She didn't know the answer. "If it was any normal situation, then maybe we wouldn't, but it isn't normal, it never has been," she added with a dismissive shrug. How was she supposed to explain their history? It was all too confusing.

OOC: Eee. ^^ I hate it when people drop out. -nods-

Harry quickly pulled his hand away from her arm, and looked to Ginny. Oh no, what have I done?, he thought to himself. Why did she have to bring that up? He was definately in for it. "She won't," he said smiling, and turned back to Ginny, giving her a small smile, trying to reassure her that it was all going to be okay. As soon as the Slytherins left.



Harry watched as she glared at him and Cho, and rolled his eyes. Why couldn't she understand that he loved her, and not Cho. He did, didn't he? He shook his head, and sighed, glancing back up at the Slytherins. "Would you just sod off Malfoy, and co?" He said to them, anger building up inside him. At the moment he was sitting inbetween two girls who hated each other, two girls that he was torn between. Why did everything happen to him? Today was supposed to be fun, not a nightmare.

Draco laughed loudly and meanly. "Oh no, I'm so scared," he said mockingly. "Ickle Ginny Weasley's gonna get me with her fantastic magical skills," he said dramatically. What was this girl playing at? Didn't she know that he could beat her at her own game? She was just a silly little girl.



Draco laughed, he didn't really care what happened to Ginny, just what happened to Serena. But he knew that she'd be able to handle it. Anyway, he wasn't about to get his wand out of his pocket just for the Weasley girl, where was the challenge in that? Now if it was Harry, that might've been a different story.




Lo began to feel bad as Hermione began apologise. And why did she? That was definately unexpected, if it was any of the others, wouldn't she of fought back? She tried to give her a hidden smile, but failed dismally. Great, just as I was beginning to fit in, the girl makes me feel bad, she thought to herself, sighing inwardly. She watched Hermione look her over. She raised an eyebrow, then shook her head. What was she staring at?


Lo laughed out loud when the airhead, named Summer pulled out her wand, and pointed at her. "What are you going to do? Straighten my hair?" She scoffed. She didn't reach for her wand, no, she wasn't looking for a fight. Although, that wand was annoying her. Why did they assume that pointing a wand in someones face was going to scare them? She rolled her eyes at the silly girl, and tapped her foot.

Jacob raised an eyebrow, ready to burst out laughing. He wanted to tell them, so bad, that they were acting worse than the vampires and werewolves. He glanced at Quil and Embry, shrugging. "This is so stupid," he whispered, a wide smile appearing on his face as the Slytherins and Gryffindors kept at it. He stepped back a little bit and whispered to Quil and Embry, "If nothing happens, we'll go back."

Summer's light apple green eyes sparkled in a slightly annoyed way. "No spell could straighten that mess." She replied, slipping her wand back into the pocket of denim skirt. Summer folded her evenly tanned arms across her chest and her pretty face pouted. She hated confrontations.


Quil nodded and rolled his eyes. Honestly, the two groups should just seperate and stay away. It wasn't that hard to do.. just move one leg and then the other, he thought, grinding his teeth together.

Feeling him pull his arm away, her heart wrenched and twisted for a moment. She hated this feeling. Hated how vulnerable he could make her. Maybe this was the right thing to do. Join up with the Slytherins and make them suffer some payback. Well, at least Ginny anyways for stealing Harry away. "Hopefully not." She said, wiping the last remains of her tears away. "Malfoy, can't you just go away?" She said pleading him, wanting to pat herself on the back for putting on such a performance.


Ginny was really going to snap any moment now. Her boyfriend might still like Cho, his first ever LOVE. Draco Malfoy was being an idiot and still trying to insult her. Rolling her eyes, she didn't lower her wand in case Roberts tried anything. She couldn't trust the blonde not to hex her when her guard was lowered. "Just leave." She commanded. She didn't want to have to deal with the Slytherins. Not when she still had to face Cho Chang.


Hermione immediately stepped beside Summer. She didn't want to attack Lo but if she tried, the brunette would be there to back Summer up. "What is going on?" She asked Lo. "Normally Draco and Serena aren't this mean." She said quietly, knowing that the four were too busy to listen to their conversation. What was the factor that caused this scene to happen?

Eyes shifting, she eyed the new kids that had just joined them. Could it be them? She didn't think so. The fight started before they were here. Who was the addition to the group that caused this? Cho Chang That was the answer. Hermione stared at the Asian who seemed to be pleading with Draco. What is she up to?

Serena looked at Jacob and Quil. Apparently her new friend Jacob found this fight amusing. Seemed like he was a true Slytherin after all. But Quil, it was obvious he wasn't too happy about this. Lowering her wand from Ginny's face, she kept it by her side, arm still tense. The blonde wasn't going to hex Ginny until she was unrecognizable today. They had a plan and it seemed like they had fulfilled. Make Cho the victim. Done. Maybe it was time to back off for a bit. Let it sink in.

Lo laughed, genuinely, not meanly. "It's already straight," she said, running her fingers through her long dark brown hair. It did feel slightly messy. Uh oh, here came one of her moods. She folded her hands over her chest, once again doubting her appearance. Her skinny arms, which felt rather bulky to her, were now more pronounced.

Draco watched Cho as she said it. Maybe they should leave, at least it would leave Cho to do some damage of her own. "Had enough have we Chang?" He sneered, looking at the girl. He then moved his feet slightly. "We'll leave you all to your enjoyable little picnic," he glared, then turned to Jacob and Quil. Two new boys saved the day. He scoffed, and entwined his arm around Serena's back. He then sent Cho a hidden wink, to make sure she was still on their side.

"Get with the program, we are leaving genius," Draco replied to Ginny. This would be interesting, leaving Cho with their little group. "Come on girls," he leered, beginning to take a few steps away from the group.


Lo turned to Hermione, surprised that she actually spoke to her. Just to make sure, she looked behind her to see if someone, by chance, was standing there. "Just the usual," she said with a dismissive shrug. "They're always mean," she said with a laugh. It was true. They were. Unless they were around people that they accepted that they liked.

Draco watched Lo converse with Hermione out of the corner of his eye. What is she doing?, he asked himself. She was talking to the mudblood. Was she up to something? He glared, and then walked with Serena, not waiting for Lo. He shook his head, the girl was digging herself in deeper. He had always wondered if Lo was really a Slytherin, she was too nice, most of the time. "Come on Serena, let's leave her with her new found friends," he whispered meanly.

Good job Draco. Cho thought to herself as she watched him, Serena and Lo retreat from the group. It was all on her now to make Harry fall back in love with her. Watching their retreating backs and Draco's arm wrap around Serena, she raised an eyebrow. Was there a relationship blooming there?

"I'm so sorry about that Harry. Ginny." Cho said, looking at them, making her voice quiet. "It was all my fault. I'm sorry I ruined your picnic."

Ginny relaxed her wand arm, which had started to become stiff from holding it in the same position for so long. "Good riddance." She murmured, still a bit angry at the situation. Hearing Cho's whimpering, Ginny whipped around, wand still in hand, wanting to curse the girl. Breathing in deeply, Ginny held in her anger. The redhead didn't want to know what Harry would do if she did hex Cho Chang.

"I haven't seen them like this in a while..." Hermione said, noticing that Draco and Serena were now leaving the group. Maybe they had gotten bored. Seeing her best friend whip around and point her wand in Cho Chang's face, Hermione started forward. She couldn't let Ginny hex someone that had no fault in this. "Ginny." Hermione called, wondering if Ginny would snap out of her fury.

Serena looked behind her to see Ginny turn on Cho. Everything was going according to plan. Already Ginny distrusted the "friendship" between Cho and Harry. Blue eyes still surveying the scene, she saw Lo talking to the Mudblood. What was she doing? Hearing Draco whisper in her ear, Serena shook her head. She had more faith in Lo than Draco obviously did. "Lo must be insulting her." The blonde said confidently. She didn't and couldn't want to believe that Lo was civilly talking to Hermione Granger. Besides, Lo was a Slytherin. It went against all nature.

"Yeah, well....Summer said in a sharp, agitated voice, one that she only used when she got in one of her moods. She didn't even look over at Hermione, as her new fashion-found friend stepped forward.

She was getting tired of fighting already. Summer wasn't a fighter, she just liked good attention. And this wasn't even attention.

"There," Jacob said to Quil and Embry. "Was that hard?" he laughed. "Want to go back?" he asked. "'Cause I do," he laughed and ran into the lake once more, washing his black hair in the cool lake.

Harry sighed, why was she apologising? It wasn't her fault that the Slytherins taunted them. "It's not your fault Cho," he said to Cho, turning towards her. "Are you okay?" He asked, then moving over slightly, closer to Ginny making it look as though they weren't as close as they were.

What was he to do? He couldn't figure out why he had stood up for Cho, or why he had let her stay with them? Shouldn't he of told her to leave? And now once again Ginny was angry at him. He shook his head, it was only early and it was already a mess.




Harry peered at Ginny as she faced her wand at Cho. "Ginny put your wand down," he said with a roll of his eyes. "Why'd you have to bring it out in the first place? We weren't going to be attacked, they just like stirring," he said. He despised the Slytherins, but he also hated that Ginny's answer to everything was to pull her wand out. And now she was pointing it at Cho. She had done nothing wrong.




"Who knows," Lo said to Hermione with a shrug of her shoulders. If she couldn't figure out her friends, Hermione had no hope. She watched as Hermione turned away from her, to Ginny. That girl doesn't stop, she thought to herself. Ginny, another Weasley, although very different from Ron. In a way, Lo wish that she could've gotten to know Ron, but being in Slytherin deemed her not worthy.



"Does it look like she's insulting her?" Draco asked, with a raise of his eyebrow. Serena had to know that Lo was very different to them. Lo was too nice. They were too mean. Two extremes, from the same house. "She'll come when she's ready," he said with a nod, looking at the brunette. "Let's go to the lake," he said with a smile, and pulled her along with him.

"Uh," Lo muttered, looking at the attention seeker, Summer. Hermione had turned away from them, and Lo began to feel uncomfortable standing alone with Summer. "Whatever," she muttered, and began to walk away from the group. Cho would do her thing, and more trouble would erupt. She then quickened her pace and made her way to Draco and Serena. "Thanks for waiting," she snapped, walking along next to the two Slytherins.

Settling back down in her seat, she was immediately shaken up again at the fact that a wand was pointed at her face, a few inches away. "Ginny?..." She asked hesitantly. Sure, the redhead wouldn't curse her, would she? When she really had done nothing wrong. Well, in Harry's eyes anyways. Casting a side look at Harry, Cho wondered how the Gryffindor boy would react if she whipped out her own wand and duelled Ginny. It was just to protect herself. Cho wouldn't duel the redhead outright. Not yet anyways.


Hearing Harry, Hermione and Cho say her name, she shook her head, not in defiance but more to clear her head. Lowering it, she tucked it back into her robe pocket. She couldn't believe that she had been so close to attacking Cho Chang, head girl. Smiling wistfully, she wished she had slipped a little. It wouldn't hurt Cho to learn that Ginny was good at duelling too. "Sorry." She shot back to Harry, knowing that he was feeling a bit annoyed at her.

"No but..." Serena's sentence trailed off as Draco began pulling her in the direction towards the lake. "Do you want to go swimming?" She asked, just not realizing that his arm had been around her the whole time. How come she didn't notice before? Ah. She had been too caught up in protecting him from Ginny. A slight flush stole on her cheeks.


Serena heard the snapping voice of Lo and she turned to face her and mouthed a small sorry to her friend. The blonde wasn't sure about Lo and her rightful placing in Slytherin but after all these years, the girl was still her friend, right? Although, the blonde did have a line. Anymore chattings with the Gryffindors and Lo might need a warning or two.

Harry watched as Cho turned towards him. He flashed a sympathetic smile to her. Now he definately felt uncomfortable. In the midst of the Slytherins attack, he had a battle of his own; the one between his ex, and his girlfriend. Why Ginny had to react the way she always did, he didn't know. And why Cho had to continuously hang around, he didn't know either. But he did like her company, and he did like Ginny's, didn't he? The confusion in his mind was overwhelming, and so he shook his head.


Then, finally Ginny lowered her wand. Harry sighed, and turned to his girlfriend after her apology. He rolled his eyes slightly. "I'm not the one you need to apologise to," he snapped, annoyance beginning to take him over. "You wand wasn't pointed at my face," he added, looking at her, his eyes shining. Luckily, his face wasn't revealing all his thoughts. Ginny would likely maim him. Ginny had a habit in over reacting, much like himself. Although, now it was just irritating.


Draco looked towards, a grin spreading across his face. "I sure do," he said, winking. He then noticed her flush, and smiled inwardly to himself. He began walking closer to the lake with her, and took off his shirt, his pale skin seemed to be glowing in the sun.


Lo nodded at her apology and sighed slightly. She then watched as Draco took off his shirt, and his pale skin glowed in the sunlight. Blinking, she turned her eyes away. Apparently we're going swimming, she thought to herself. She stood still though, not taking any clothes off, but looked between the others that were frolicking in the water. Hoping that this wouldn't lead to trouble she back to Serena and Draco.

Ginny's small mouth dropped open. Harry wasn't telling her to apologize to Cho right? No, it couldn't be. He had to be joking. Staring at his familiar face, she gritted her teeth. He really wasn't. For god's sake, there was no way in hell she would apologize to the girl that had started all of this. If she wasn't here, the Slytherins would have done their usual teasing, gotten bored and left. If she wasn't alive, Harry would have always known that he was in love with the redhead. They wouldn't have any other obstacles. "No." She said sternly.

Turning away to avoid looking at Cho who was staring up at her, expectantly?, she looked at Hermione, taking in a few deep breaths, trying to control her anger.

"Gin..." Hermione started and than stopped when she saw the look on her best friends face. The Gryffindor wasn't going to start a fight with her friend over the Ravenclaw. Yes, Ginny was at fault but still, was Cho worth fighting over for?

Seeing Ginny defy Harry, Cho winced for Harry, although she knew it was a good thing. Standing up and brushing out the creases in her skirt, she stared at the back of Ginny Weasley. Oh how she was just making everything fall into place. "Actually, um, Harry, I think I should probably go." She said looking at him. "I don't want to ruin anything else."
She said regretfully.

Feeling Draco pull away to pull his shirt off, she managed to flush even harder. Did he have to be so goodlooking? And so fit too? And what was going on? She had seen Draco halfnaked a lot of times before, why was she blushing now? Why was she self concious of herself stripping down to take a dip in the lake now? Something had changed.

Steeling herself, she began pulling off her shorts and her tanktop. Not wanting to stand there in her undergarments, she jumped into the cool lake.

Diving underwater and swimming around so she could get used to the temperature, she popped back up to the surface to regain a breath of fresh air. Seeing Lo just stand there, Serena lifted an arm and waved to her. "Come on Lo!"

Harry rolled his eyes in Ginny's directin as she uttered 'no' so bluntly. "Then don't," he said, beginning to grow annoyed once again. How come she couldn't just be civil to Cho? It's not like she had ever done anything wrong. Wait, yes she had, but to himself not to his girlfriend.

He then watched as Ginny turned to Hermione, breathing heavily, trying to control her anger. And people said that he needed anger management. He couldn't take this anymore, the fact that felt threatened by his ex, by anyone that looked at him, to be honest. He sighed, and turned to Cho, flashing her an apologetic smile.


As Cho stood up, Harry watched as her delicate hands pushed out the creases in her skirt. Harry shook his head, as she told him that she should go. "Don't go, you haven't ruined anything and you're not going to ruin anything else," he said with a smile, encouraging her to stay. Although if she really wanted to leave, could he go with her? But wouldn't that just anger Ginny? Do I even care, he thought to himself. Thinking that, he mentally slapped himself. What was wrong with him?



A grin began to play on Draco's face as Serena began to pull of her clothes. She had always been beautiful, he had always noticed, and now it felt as though everything was going the way that he had always wanted it to. Laughing, he jumped into the water with her, and surfaced, pushing his platinum blonde hair backwards. He went behind her, and closed his arms around her, a smile appearing to his face. "Come on Lo," he said, looking over Serena's shoulder, his breath hitting her bare skin.



Lo shifted her feet uncomfortably as she watched the skinny, gorgeous girl jump into the water. She smiled, slightly to them, but didn't touch her clothes. Her self conciousness was once again taking hold of her. She bit her lip, and jumped into the water, still with her clothes on. She had been getting skinnier, and skinner, although she hadn't noticed that. In her mind she was always how she'd looked like; chubby. "See, I'm in," she said, coming to the surface and pushing her long dark brown hair out of her eyes. Peering over to the Gryffindors and Cho, she realised that Cho was standing. "Hey, she's leaving," she said, nodding over to where the picnic layed.

Hermione looked at Harry and immediately went Uh oh in her head. She didn't like that expression on her best friend's face. It wasn't a good expression for anyone to have when they were staring at their "beloved" girlfriend. "Gin, let's go for a walk ok?" She said, tugging on the redhead's arm. They both needed to cool down. Hermione was sure that they would have another fight if they continued to talk like this.

"Fine." She said shortly, following Hermione. Screw Harry and Cho. If Harry wanted to stay and protect his little ex girlfriend then so be it. He would come running back to her soon enough once his Ravenclaw began bursting into tears. Turning around, she glared at Harry. "If you get sick of her, don't come back to beg me to get back with you." She said, trying to stop her bottom lip from trembling and willing herself not to cry. She really couldn't believe this was happening. Why were they so unstable? Ginny should have been able to trust Harry. No matter what. Why couldn't she trust him?

Cho laughed at Harry's words. "I don't know about that. I'm pretty klutzy. Maybe I'll be walking away and trip over this blanket and make someone fall over and break something." She joked, knowing that she was quite graceful on her broomstick but a klutz when she touched the ground.

Her laughter stopped short when she heard Ginny's angry words. "What are you talking about?" She yelled back at her, furious now. How dare she say things like that to Harry. Why would Harry ever have to beg anyone? There were so many girls that would love to be with him.

Serena yelped quietly when she felt warm sturdy arms wrap around her. Thankfully, it was noisy around the lake. She was sure he would be able to hear her accelerated heartbeat since he was so close. Hearing him talk and feeling his warm breath hit her cold and wet skin, she shivered slightly. Serena had to resist the urge to turn around and just kiss him right than and there.

"Whatcha doing?" She asked playfully, turning around, careful not to look in his blue-grey eyes.

Trying to find something to distract herself from that thought and action, she looked up when Lo mentioned something about someone leaving. It seemed like Ginny and Cho were arguing now. "Shhh." She said, trying to hear them. It wasn't hard. They weren't exactly being quiet.

Hermione, always there to rescue him. Harry gave his best friend a smile, thanking her for trying to get Ginny out of his face. He knew he was being harsh, but at that point he didn't care. The way that Ginny always got jealous put him in a bad mood. It's not his fault he was so desireable. He exhaled loudly, and his fringe flew up, and then back down. His black hair was shining in the sun; not greasy, just shining.

Beg for her to get back with me?, he thought to himself. Was this her breaking up with him? Over something so silly? "So you're breaking up with me?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, his facial expression harsh. His anger once again, began to flare. He wasn't saddened by her act, just angered. "Whatever Ginny," he said with a wave of his hand. "I'm not going to be the one to come begging," he muttered, referring to her coming back and begging to him. Fancy that, him, begging. He shook his head at the hilarity of it all.





As Cho began to laugh at his words, he smiled. At least someone was making light of the situation. And that someone definately wasn't his girlfriend, but his ex. Harry laughed along with her. She was quite clumsy on the ground, but when she flew on a broom, she was incredibly graceful, and that was one of the reasons as to why Harry had always been attracted to her. Had? Or was he still attracted to her. Nothing made sense.

Her laughter stopped short when she heard Ginny's angry words. "What are you talking about?" She yelled back at her, furious now. How dare she say things like that to Harry. Why would Harry ever have to beg anyone? There were so many girls that would love to be with him.

Cho's voice began to rise, which made Harry cringe. They weren't going to fight, again were they? He then smiled slightly to himself though as he realised that she was defending him against the words that Ginny had just uttered. He waited for Ginny's retort, hoping that this wouldn't turn into a screaming match.


Draco flinched as she turned around to face him, she was now extremely close. He smiled, and enclosed his arms around her back, forcing himself not to lean down and kiss her, well, not yet anyway. "Nothing," he said playfully, stroking her cheek with his finger, and then placing his arm back around her.

Watching her carefully as she didn't look him in the eyes, he lifted her chin gently with his hand, pulling her face up, his blue-grey eyes pouring over her face. He smiled, cheekily. Opening his mouth he began to say something, but instead, he pulled her face close to his, and kissed her on the lips, softly. He then pulled apart from her, his lips tingling, a smile playing on his face.



Lo watched as the Gryffindors and Cho quarralled. How boring. She then turned back to her friends, just to catch Draco lean in and kiss Serena. Lo's blue eyes widened, and she turned away quickly. She dove under the water, and swam, heading over to the boys, the new ones. Pushing her head through the top of the water, and brushing her long hair out of her eyes, she turned towards Jacob, Embry and Quill. "Hi," she said, her eyes shining. She hoped that they hadn't started out on the wrong foot. That they hadn't seen her as some silly Slytherin girl, who bickered along with her house, and those others.

Jacob wasn't paying attention to the kids that had just came in the lake. But someone was talking to him. He turned around. "Uh," he said. "Um, hi," he said, suddenly feeling naked. Of course he wasn't, but he still felt like it. "

So they were breaking up. Ginny's bottom lip quivered, her brown eyes filled with unshed tears. For some odd reason, Ginny had thought that this would be some kind of joke. That Harry would come rushing up to her and whisper in her ear about how he only loved her and reassure her with his love. But it wasn't some nice dream she had. It was a nightmare and even worse, reality. Turning around, not even to bother to shout back, she stared at the ground, not even daring to look at Hermione. She didn't want to know what her friend would say.

"Oh no." Hermione muttered as she watched the scene happen before them. It couldn't be happening. Harry and Ginny breaking up over something so silly? But than again, didn't Ginny break up with her ex-boyfriends over silly matter's as well? "Ginny, let's go." She said, grabbing her arms, ready to tow her away. "Summer?" Hermione turned to look at her friend. "Are you alright?" She asked, wondering if the confrontation with Lo had troubled her in any way.


Hearing her voice yell at her, Ginny's anger flared once again. It was because of her. All of it was because of her. If Ginny hadn't been so stupid to ask Cho to the picnic this morning, none of this would have happened. "You witch!" She yelled, turning around, wrenching her arm out of Hermione's grip. "You're the cause of all of this." She said loudly, stalking forward. "If it wasn't for you, me and Harry would never be like this. You must have done something to him. He has never gotten over you these past years. What have you done to him?"

"Me?" Cho laughed. "I haven't done anything other than be in love with him." She said, lowering her voice. She wasn't going to lose her calm for this crazy redhead.

Serena shook her head and immediately stopped when she felt his hand press against her face. Still not making eye contact, she glanced down, noticing the space between them was almost non-existant. How did she get herself into this position? Really now. If this had happened before she got all these weird feelings, she would have pushed Draco away and splashed him. Now, she couldn't even move, let alone make eye contact.

Serena froze in spot when she felt her face being gently pushed upwards so she could see Draco's face. "Draco..." She whispered and stopped. He had kissed her. The blonde was in absolute shock. She didn't even respond to the intimate motion. Thoughts reeling, she forced herself to be coherent. Actually, she didn't think she could talk right now. So what better way to show him that she liked the kiss, than to kiss him back?

Throwing her arms around his neck, she kissed him back hard. She couldn't believe that this was happening. Pulling back, she looked into eyes, breathing deeply. "Ummm." Was all she could really say.

"Hi," she repeated, replying to him, letting out a slightly nervous laugh. How awkward. "Whatcha's doin?" She asked, looking from one boy to the other.


Harry wathced as Ginny's bottom lip quivered, a feeling began to overtake him. Now, he thought he'd said the wrong things. As Ginny turned his back, he sat there, staring at her back. Should he stand up, console her? Although, then, all the things he'd said, everything he had believed would be shut down, again. He wouldn't have it, not this time. Giving Giny's back a forlorn look, he studied his fingers quiet closely.


Now Ginny had done it. All the thoughts that Harry had been thinking, worrying that he had done something wrong, had caused this, reminded him that it was her, always her. Every time she'd bring up Cho, every time. Why hadn't Ginny ever understood that he had only cared for her, why was she always looking for an excuse to mistrust him?

I haven't done anything other than be in love with him. Harry's voice caught in his throat. Everything he was going to yell at Ginny was got caught after hearing Cho's words. Had he never gotten over her, as well? "How about we all just settle down," he said, his voice calm, quiet but strong. Ginny's shrieking was giving him a headache, the fact that Cho was so calm soothed him. "Ginny, I think you should just leave," he said, quietly, but so that she could hear him. At that that he spoke those words, he did not look at her.


Draco jumped inwardly as Serena threw her arms around his neck, kissing him back. He pushed against her, kissing back just as hard. A smile played at his lips, while they kissed. Then she pulled away, and stared into his eyes. He did the same, getting caught in her beautiful eyes. His head was swimming with thoughts, with delight, he had forgotten his surroundings. "Umm," he repeated after Serena. His throat had closed, and he seemed unable to speak. He cleared it. "Wow," he muttered, squeezing Serena in a hug. "What happens now?" He asked her, looking in the eyes, waiting for an honest answer. Hopefully the one he was looking for.

"Swimming," Jacob replied, looking at her then at the water. He glanced at his two friends, wondering what was happening to him. "Yeah. Nothing much else."

Ginny looked at Harry. For once, tears were streaming down her face. She couldn't control them and rein them in. Flushing even darker at the fact that she was crying in front of all these people, she turned and stormed away. "Fine!" She yelled over her shoulder. "I'm sure you guys will get married and have a happy ending." She said, running past Hermione and into the school.

"Ginny!" Hermione called, wanting to run after her. Hermione looked at Cho and Harry. "Harry..." She said, walking closer to him. She really had no idea what to say. She wasn't going to reprimand him for hurting her best friend but he needed to know the extent of what he just did. "I hope this turns out well for you." This was all she could say to her best friend. Looking at Cho, she nodded and ran past them to go after Ginny. She wasn't too sure where she would be but hopefully she would be able to find her.

Cho sighed. "Sorry about that." She said to Harry, avoiding his eyes. She hadn't meant to blurt out the whole 'she loved him' part. Ginny just got on her nerves too much. Who gave her the right to yell at Harry like that anyway?

Serena stared at him, watching the water drip into his eyes and around his face. Brushing his blonde hair back so the water wouldn't irritate him, she laughed softly, hearing his question. "I don't know." She said honestly. "Are we going to be something?" She asked, afraid to hear the answer.

"Oh," Lo said with a nod, glancing at Jacob through bright eyes. "Right." She then began to tread water, looking at Jacob, then turning away. She smiled at them and then began to float on the water, her hair spreading out behind her. The sun was shining, hitting the glistening water. She smiled. "Liking it here?" She asked.

"Ginny," Harry muttered quietly, beginning to reach forward to her. Although the last thing she said, just made him pull away. "Go then!" He yelled after her, annoyed that she could say something like that, could be so immature. I did have to date someone younger than me didn't I. In ways they were the same, and in ways they were different. At first it was why he had been attracted to Ginny in the first place. But now it was just annoying.

Harry's eyes turned to his best friend, he began to open his mouth to say something, but she beat him to it. He shook his head after she ran after Ginny. Wasn't she supposed to be his best friend, yet she went to comfort his girlfriend, the one who had overreacted. He shook his head, slightly in anger, slightly in annoyance, and crossed his legs.

Which part, Harry thought to himself, but outloud he said. "Don't worry about it Cho." What else could he say? That he loved her back? Did he? He turned to her, and smiled slightly. "What happens now?" He asked, more to himself than anything. "Drama follows me doesn't it," he added with a small laugh.

Draco's head tingled as Serena pushed back his shining blonde hair. Are we going to be something? God, how he wanted them to be something. But did she? He looked at her, his eyes pouring into hers. "Yes, but do you?" He asked, unsure of the answer, unsure if it would be the one that he was looking for.

"Well," Jacob said, trying not to lie. "It's interesting," he managed. "Different, too. It's nothing like La Push." He ran a hand absently in his black hair, shrinking down to where his chest was touching the water. "Not much room to run, you know?" he said.

Hermione reached the Great Hall in no time. She knew there was no way the girl could be in there. Not with tears streaming down her face anyways. Hermione stopped in her tracks. Where would the redhead be? Hermione sighed. She didn't know what to do when she found her. It had been Ginny's fault that Harry had broke up with her. If the redhead hadn't provoked him so much. Cho was still a touchy subject with him. Especially since they never had proper closure.

Running up the stairs and jumping over the trick step, she walked into the nearest girls bathroom, wondering if the girl would be there or not. Hearing a few muffled sobs coming from a closed spot, Hermione smiled grimly. She had found her. Now what?

"Ginny?"


Ginny looked up. She knew that voice. "What do you want Hermione?" She asked thickly, standing up, wiping her face on the sleeve of her school robe. "If you're here to give me a lecture, I don't want it." She said quickly.

Cho looked at him, brushing a lock of hair that whipped into her face by the breeze. She shrugged her shoulders. It wasn't like she could just go up to him and tell him that she still loved him after all this time and that she wanted to be with him. He had just broken up with his girlfriend not even five minutes ago. "Drama follows everyone." She said to him, smiling slightly, not knowing whether or not this was the appropriate time to joke around. "Except it just tends to like your company that's all."

Draco, Serena and Lo should be proud of me. Look fast I can put our plan to action. She thought to herself.

Serena smiled nervously, looking at him. What they must have looked like? Them in the lake, pressed up against each other, looking uncertain and declaring their love for each other. Wait. The blonde hadn't done that yet. Was this why Draco was staring at her so intently? Looking like he was trying to read her thoughts?

She didn't answer him, she just leaned forward and kissed him again. After a few seconds, she pulled back, nervousness gone. "Does that answer your question?" She smirked slightly.
