"Well?" Draco asked. "I'm waiting, Weasley."

"It's alright, Draco. Let's just go," Harry offered.

"Oh, I don't think so, Harry." Draco shot him a murderous look and Harry backed down.

"Sooo," Draco turned back to Ginny, "it seems that you have forgotten that Harry is your ex-boyfriend. Allow me to remind you." He stalked closer to Ginny who stood her ground, looking entirely too relaxed, Harry thought. "Harry is with me now. He no longer wants to be with you. I believe he's made that perfectly clear. So, if you know what's good for you, you'll back off."

"Or what? The little Death Eater wannabe will come after me?"

Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed at Ginny, clearly shocked at her comment. This can't end well, Harry thought.

"Ginny, shut up," Ron said.

"Why should I, big brother? He's just --"

"Stop it, Ginny," Hermione interjected.

"Yeah, don't even try finishing that," Dean added. Ginny was not looking so confident.

"Malfoy isn't the same prat he used to be, Gin. He doesn't have to put up with this," Ron explained, "and I don't want to be a part of it either. He makes Harry happy, and that's what's important."

"He's good for Harry," Hermione agreed. "Harry's happier than I've ever seen him, so I think maybe you should just accept that they're together and move on. Lashing out at Draco doesn't accomplish anything."

"Except maybe making you look like a jealous shrew," Seamus offered with a shrug. Harry caught Draco's lip twitching at that remark.

"Fine," Ginny said. She threw Draco a scathing look, then stormed out.

Draco looked as shocked as Harry felt.

"What just happened?" Draco asked quietly.

"Like I said the other day, mate, you make Harry happy." Ron slapped Draco on the back. "I guess you can't be all that bad."

~*~*~

"Well," Harry said when they were finally alone. "That was interesting."

"I'll say." Draco grinned sheepishly at Harry. "I can't believe they all told her off."

"Well, she was wrong."

"Yeah, but she's a Gryffindor. You guys all stick together."

"Oh, no one's about to lynch her. But no one is about to stand by and let anyone lash out unfairly at one of their friends, even if it's another friend."

"But she wasn't lashing out at you."

"I was talking about you, Draco."

"I'm not their friend, Harry."

"Ron wouldn't tell his sister off if he didn't consider you a friend. Hermione might, but not Ron. And Dean? He definitely wouldn't say anything against Ginny. I think he still fancies her a bit."

"I dunno ..."

"Well, I think you'll see eventually, as long as you're willing to look." He pressed his lips to Draco's forehead with a smile. "So, will you be my date to the dance?"

"No."

"But why not?" Harry tried not to pout. "I never told Ginny I wanted to go with her."

"I know that Harry. But it's our first Valentine's Day together as a couple, and I'd rather just spend it alone with you, maybe go to a hotel for the night. That's okay with you, isn't it?"

Harry grinned widely. "It's more than okay. To tell you the truth, I only wanna be with you too."

Awwwww... I really liked how all the Gryffindors were on Draco's side, yay for being reasonable and non-prejudiced. :D

*smiles at all the sweet fluff* ^_^

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *snuggles Draco & the supportive Gryffs*

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

*smirks at Ginny*

I love it that everyone piped in to support Draco. *snuggles him* I can't wait till the hotel lovin... *glares at you for thinking about skipping over that part* :D

Oh, and the link to part 4 takes you back to part 3. Was that a trick to see who was eager enough to click it. *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Nah ... I'm going to add the link in later. I just put the coding in, figuring I'd add it after I post part 4 ... but now I'll not get to it until tomorrow, so I'll remove it.

No tricks. Honestly.

Skipping over the hotel? Moi? I guess you'll have to wait to find out. :P

I loved everyone standing up to Ginny! Ha! Take that!

This was just fabulous.

"Except maybe making you look like a jealous shrew," Seamus offered with a shrug. Harry caught Draco's lip twitching at that remark.

Loved that line! Fantastic fic!

Thanks for the update!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Glad you enjoyed it, and I thought Seamus was the most likely to give her that smart-ass remark. ♥

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Awwwww! This was so sweet!:D
Thanks!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

A little sappy, yeah. ♥ Isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about? *g*

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

And don't come back, you snotty little slut! Hah!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! You really ought to express your feelings, Jae. Holding back isn't healthy. ;D

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

Everyone seem to have their own priorities clear, the happiness of a friend comes before holding old petty grunges. Harry is a lucky guy, having those friends!

Ginny probably also has her priorities clear, but they are just different *sticks out her tongue to the Weaselette*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she does. And the next one will show her in a little less of a nasty light, so we'll see where things go from there.

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Draco's suggestion sounds perfect!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... I think so too.

[prettyhairs.livejournal.com]

=) Unfortunately I can't offer you more than a big sappy smile.

Oh, and chocolate gateau!:)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I like smiles! Oooh ... and gateau! *munches*

[nocturnali.livejournal.com]

Poor Ginny.
I like her... in canon anyway.
She's the best female role model in the HP world. It used to be Tonks but then she got all whiney and desperate and that ended badly. ; )

Make Dean go after her and chat het up. That will be sweet.

And a night at a hotel by themselves for the boys. They'll enjoy that too.

Lovely.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I think you'll be okay with the next few parts. *pets you*

I promise it's not the beginning of 'shrew Ginny' fics.

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

jealous shrew!! i don't know why but the word shrew always tickles me. and it was applied to ginny! *g*

am enjoying this so far hon :) but i don't think that's the last of harry and draco's troubles, personally..

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Aww ... you don't think Harry and Draco will live 'happily ever after'? I mean with their past, how could it be anything but fluffity fluff forever more? *g*

[nillaskye.livejournal.com]

I loved how Harry's friends stood up for Draco against Ginny! And, what a sweet ending!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

She was being unfair, and they called her on it. :)

Glad you liked the sweet ending. But it's not the end. ;)

[nillaskye.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I meant I liked the way this part ended. Should've been more specific--my bad! :-(

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, no ... I knew that, hon. I just wanted to suggest that it might not be so happy after this part. Heh. (Shhh).

[accioscar.livejournal.com]

*laughs at Ginny* Jealous shrew!
Can't wait for some hot hotel action! ;D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hot hotel action, hmm? You and Alaana both! ;)

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

Yay for Ron and all the rest of the Gryffs. Though Seamus definitely has the best line *g*.

*scurries off to find the "hotel" part!*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*grins*

[softly-sweetly.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I don't think so, Harry." Draco shot him a murderous look and Harry backed down.

Smart boy, Harry!

*runs off to carry on*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! He has his moments. :)

[ravenqueen55.livejournal.com]

I just started reading this and I love it! Stupid Ginny. *kicks her*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

You do sooooo love to kick her, don't you? *giggles*

[andrea--88.livejournal.com]

I love Ron he says it like it is
And Ginny was wrong and I'm glad everyone told her off
A nice quiet Vday sounds perfect

excellent
