Wow.

So it's been a realllyyyyy long time since i've updated. I'm sorry for that. But I'm back with alot of time on my hands, and hopefully I use some of that writing. Well, the first section of a song is Rush by Aly and Aj and the second one is Paper Cut by Vanessa Hudgens.

Chapter 5

"I thought Cedric was good, I don't know why he was voted off." I said as I walked back to the common room with my best friends. At the last performance, Hermione got first, the band, which we decided needed a name, got second, and once again, I got third. Cedric Diggory, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and Susan Bones where kicked off today, and I couldn't see why Cedric was.

"Gin, the only reason you think he should have stayed today is because he's hot. The boys okay, but he's not that great." Pansy said, causing me to look at her in shock and playfully hit her in the arm. I thought for a minute and then nodded, agreeing with her.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Oh my god though, did you see his body? His shirt was skin tight, I almost drooled!" I said, Pansy nodding enthusiastically at me.

"He has the nicest abs! Have you ever seen them?"
She asked me. I shook my head no and said the password to the common room and we all walked in. Pansy and I sat down next to each other and continued talking.

"No I haven't. Do you think if I asked him, he would show me?" I asked her, seriously considering looking for him.

"Just ask him tomorrow. It's Saturday and it's a Hogsmead weekend. We can find him there, I'm sure he'll show us. Now, about the band name, what should we be called?" Pansy asked, changing the subject suddenly. I looked at her and she mouthed 'later'.

"How about The Dragons?" Nott asked.

"The Slytherin's."

"I like Envy."

"Those are too original. We need something to stand out." Draco said, getting everyone quiet.

"How about Verde d'invidia." I suggested. Everyone but Blaise looked at me with confused looks. I groaned.

"You should all really brush up on your Italian. It means Green with Envy." Blaise explained.

"I like it!" Pansy said, Nott nodded in agreement and everyone looked at Draco for an answer.

"Mon joli, idée lumineuse!" I didn't know what he said, but when he picked me up off the couch and hugged me, I assumed it was good. I laughed as we spun around. He put me down just as an owl knocked on the window, with two letters attached to its leg. Blaise went and opened the window, taking the letters off. He gave it a treat and sent it back to the owlry.

"It looks like it's letters from Dumbledore again, about the compition." He said, handing me the one with Miss. Weasley on the front. I opened it and started reading.

Dear Miss. Weasley,

You where fantastic tonight! Your talent just seems to grow and grow each day. Well, due to the fact that we don't want anyone to have the same song, we decided to choose which Muggle artist you can choose a song from. Yours is Vanessa Hudgens. A list of her songs and lyrics is in here, along with the spell for the music. Good luck and choose wisley.

-Professor Dumbledore

I looked over at the other four.

"Which artist did you get?" I asked them.

"We got a band called Paramore, but I really don't feel like looking threw the songs right now. I want to do something fun. Something spontanious; something crazy." Pansy said, smiling and looking at everyone. I smirked, knowing exactly what she had in mind.

"Lets go swimming!" Both of us busted out laughing after we said it in unison. The boys looked at us like we where crazy.

"This is just a way to get to see us without tops isn't it?" Blaise asked, smirking. I laughed, and decided to play along.

"Blaise, you know I've already seen you in much less." He put his arms around me and pulled me as close as possible to him.

"Too true darling, but if we don't go with, we'll be dipriving everyone else from our great bodies." I nodded agreeing with him. He let go of me, but kept on arm around my waist. Everyone was looking at us funny.

"What, do I have something on my face?" Blaise asked causing everyone to snap out of it.

"Lets go change Gin." Pansy said, grabbing my arm and dragging me to our room. She closed the door and walked over to her closet and pulled out a green swim suit with white polka dots. I picked out a yellow swim suit with a blue and red anchor on one side of the top. We changed and started to walk back down. Pansy was acting weird though, and giving me funny looks.

"Pansy, whats wrong?" I asked her. She shook her head, implying that nothing was wrong. Before we got the the bottom of the stairs, I grabbed her hand, stopping her.

"Pansy, I know something is wrong. Please, talk to me?" She glared at me, and walked away. I groaned. My first real girl friend was mad at me, and I had no idea what I did wrong. I followed her down and stopped when I saw the boys. Draco to be exact. He was wearing white swim trunks with blue, red, and yellow stripes on the sides. He was wearing a red wife beater, hiding nothing that was underneath. All I have to say to that is thank Merlin for Quiditch. Realizing that I was staring, I blushed and looked up at him. Thankfully he didn't say anything about my staring.

"Looks like we match Little Red." I looked down at my suit and then at his and laughed.

"Why yes we do. How weird." I said, walking all the way over to them. I looked at Blaise, Pansy, and Nott now. Pansy, thankfully, wasn't glaring anymore, but was looking really confused. Blaise put his arm around her shoulders, and she blushed.

"Well, now that we're all done staring at each other and comparing our choice of clothes, can we get to the lake? I have a need to see these girls wet." I laughed and Pansy smacked his arm.

"So, I'm confused. Who do you want?" Pansy asked me as we layed down in bed. We just got back from the beach and we showered and where supposed to go down for practice. Apparently, she had other ideas in mind.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Well, your giving mixed signals. Don't take this in the wrong way, but it's confusing me, and probably other people too. I really don't know how to ask this, but who do you like?" She asked. Shit! She knows I like Draco. Maybe that's why she was mad! She found out and she has something going on with him! Ohmygod.

"Shit, I'm a horrible friend! How could I not know you like him? I mean, it's obvious looking back on the years you've known each other. And then here I come, and suddenly your supposed best friend, and I like him too! What the hell is wrong with me?" I said, ranting to myself.

"So you like him too?" She asked, sounding unsure. I nodded miserably.

"What are we going to do?" I asked her, falling back into my pillows.

"Well, if you like Blaise that much, then go for it. I mean, if I've really been as obvious as you say, then he must not like me." She said. I thought for a minute. Something wasn't right with that.

"Don't you mean Draco?" I asked her, sitting back up. She looked over at me confused.

"No, I like Blaise. Don't you like Blaise?" She asked.

"No, I like Draco!" We both squealed with happiness that we didn't have to ruin our friendship over a boy.

"Dude, I'm totally going to hook you and Draco up. I mean it's obvious that he likes you too! You should ask him out to Hogsmead this weekend." Pansy said. I bit my bottom lip, thinking about it.

"Yeah, but what if he really doesn't like me. Then I will have ruined our friendship. I mean, it really hasn't been that long. Just a year ago, we hated each other. How can he like me already?" I asked.

"You like him. Whats so different between that? Come on, just do it. The worst that can happen is that he won't like you back." She said. I took a deep breath and nodded.

"But I have one condition. If we go to Hogsmead together, you and Blaise have to come so it's not ackward." She nodded and we walked out of the room. All of the guys where sitting on the couches and looking at papers. We cleared our throats and they all looked up.

"Hey, we where just looking through songs we can sing in the next compition." Blaise explained. We sat down with them and I picked up my envelope so I could look through songs too. I pulled out a list and started reading it.

1. Promise

2. Whatever Will Be

3. Say Ok

4. Come Back to Me

5. Paper cut

"So, Red, and good songs yet?" I looked up and found a blonde sitting next to me with a crooked smile on his face. I kept myself from blushing at how close we where.

"Not yet, but I'm about to look at the lyrics. Want to help?" I asked him. He looked up at the time and then back at me.

"I would love to, but do you think we can hold this off until tomorrow? I have something planned already." He said, looking sincere. I forced a smile and nodded.

"Yeah, that's fine." He smiled again, and then walked out the door. I sighed and looked up at Pansy. She was blushing and looking down. Blaise was whispering in her ear and they where holding hands. I smiled at the sight. I looked around for Nott, but he was nowhere to be found. I sighed and went into my room, pulling out my journal, and laying on my bed.

You make me feel, out of my element.

Like I'm walking on broken glass.

Like my worlds spinning in slow motion

and your moving too fast.

I groaned as I heard yelling downstairs. Where Pansy and Blaise already in a fight? I closed my journal and got up, walking out of the room. Blaise and Pansy where yelling, but at Draco, not each other.

"What the hell is going on here?" I asked them, feeling a headach coming on. Everyone turned towards me and shut up. Blaise was looking angry, Pansy upset, and Draco guilty.

"Whatever the hell Draco did is not worth yelling about! Now I'm trying to write a song, but I can't with you three trying to wake up all of Hogwarts! Now please, do me a favor and shut up!" The three looked down, and nodded their heads. I walked back upstairsand I heard someone follow me. I left the door open behind me and layed down on my bed, picking up the quill. I head the door close and someone sat on my bed by my legs.

"Do you want to tell me why you and Pansy where yelling at Draco?" I asked, turning my head slightly and seeing Blaise. He crawled over and layed down next to me.

"Do I have to or can we wait until Pansy is finished yelling at him?" He asked. I looked at him and he sighed.

"His plans tonight are to go out with another girl." The breath caught in my throat and I felt like I was slapped in the face. I took a deep breath and looked over at him. I smiled.

"You two shouldn't have yelled at him for that. He doesn't even know I like him, and it's not like I have any claim over him. It's fine. Just do me a favor." I said and he shook his head yes.

"If you haven't asked Pansy yet, take her to Hogsmead. And if she says she wants to stay with me tell her no, I have stuff to do." I told him. He smirked.

"Where you guys talking about me?" He asked. I laughed.

"Well, she told me that I should ask Draco to Hogsmead this weekend, and I told her I would if she asked you." I told him.

"Oh, so you think shes not going to ask me because you're not going with Draco." I nodded and he pulled me up to hug me.

"You, Red, and the sweetest girl I have ever met." I smiled and hugged him back.

"Thanks, now go and get your girl before she kills Blondie." He laughed and left to go find Pansy. I sighed and accioed the songs and lyrics over to me.

It's not a feeling like when you touch a flame

No, it's not like when someone calls you a bad name

It's not like the hurt when you slip and fall down

No, it's not like any of these, what I've found is

I looked out at the lake, watching the sunset. Everybody was at Hogsmead still, so I was practicing my song in peace. Looking at the water, I tried to keep my mind off of a certian blonde who never came back after his date. Then he didn't even show up to tell me he couldn't help me pick out my song. Tears came to my eyes and I tried blinking them away, but it didn't work. I put my head in my hands and started to cry. Why did I have to like him? I knew he hadn't changed!

"Who hasn't changed Gin?" I turned around and saw Ron standing there. He looked generally concerned for me, which made me cry even more. He came and sat next to me.

"Ginny, I made a mistake in not telling you, I know I did. I really miss you too. I've been thinking about everything we used to do, and I really want my baby sister back." I looked at him and hugged him. I didn't realize it, but I missed him too.

"Ron, you're an idiot; but I miss you too." He let go of me and stood up, offering his hand to help me.

"You want to walk back to the castle and tell me what happened?" He asked. I nodded and we started walking.

I was laughing at something Ron said, and tears where coming down my face. After we had talked, I took him back to my common room and we played exploding snap and ate junk food. I picked up some lemon drops and started eating them.

"I bet I can last longer then you can." Ron said.

"Alright, on the count of three! One, Two, Three, Go!" We both put a lemon drop in, and our faces started puckering. After about a minute, I spit mine out and started laughing. Ron followed suit right after.

"Wow, thats sour!" I said, smiling at him. He nodded in agreement.

"So, I never knew you could sing." He said. I blushed.

"Really, I'm not that great. I've just beed getting lucky. Besides, I have my friends to help me." I said.

"Oh now Red, that's a lie. You know you're fantastic." I turned around and saw Pansy and Blaise standing in the doorway. I smiled at them.

"So did the Weasel appoligize?" Pansy asked. I threw a pillow.

"Yes he did, and his name is Ron." She put her hands up like she was surrendering and then laughed.

"Well, it's good to know at least on of the Golden Trio has a brain." Blaise said. I smiled at how they accepted him. The clock struck 10 and Ron stood up.

"I better get back before curfew. I love you Ginbug." I stood up and hugged him bye and he left. After the door shut there was an ackward silence.

"You know Draco's going to be pissed when he hears that you forgave him." I shrugged.

"Well he can go fuck himself. I really don't care." I walked up to our room, all the while my mind was screaming 'Yes you do!'. I never noticed the door closing and the blonde standing there looking hurt.
