Attention

Draco hated the way she ignored him. He'd hated it ever since her arrival at Hogwarts. Ginny Weasley, the only female Weasley for several generations, with her long red hair and solemn brown eyes, and her observant gaze that took a body's soul in and swallowed it whole.

Ginny does what every sane girl would do when kissed unwantedly.

Ignorance, the post, and porridge.

Lucius' letter is, as usual, completely incomprehensible, and Professor Binns is, as usual, utterly boring.

Draco deals with the consequences. Pansy's not happy.

Ginny tries not to think of possibilities as she listens to Harry, Ron, and Hermione discussing Pansy's dramatic outburst.

The Dementor lesson finally arrives; Harry is able to show off immediately, but Draco encounters some frustrating problems.

"The Dark Arts are good. Defend." Ginny tries to write on the topic, and Harry approaches for a conversation.

Harry and Ginny take their walk outside and have a revealing conversation.

Sometimes the bathroom can be the best place to think, but this time for Ginny, not everything comes out all right in the end.

After the more-than-disturbing conversation she's just overheard, Ginny tries to find Hermione; however, she (naturally) runs into the last person she wants to see.

Draco, stunned by his encounter with Ginny, can't stop thinking about her accusations and predictions. McGonagall suggests visiting Professor Snape, but it's not very helpful.

Harry and Draco discuss (with wands out) love lives, such as they are.

Harry tells Ginny about the encounter with Draco, and about his confusion.

Another letter from Lucius arrives, and Draco tries to work things out with Pansy.

Ginny follows Draco down to the lake and makes him realise some unpleasant truths.

Draco, stunned by his actions, contemplates his past and future.

Disturbing news in the Daily Prophet leads Ginny back to the library, where she finds Draco, who reluctantly tells her his decision.

Ginny and Harry both deal with the results of the day's shocks.

Dealing with his decision, and the Slytherins' opinion, is not as easy as Draco thought.

Draco finally goes to Dumbledore, but is far from reassured.

Draco leaves for the Easter holidays; Harry has a vision; and there is no post.
