An explosion in the Potions classroom leaves behind a raving Potions Master, a bloody Draco, and a certain redhead we all love having a moment of altruistic weakness. Ginny's kindness makes Draco very suspicious, leading him to destroy her goodwill. In retribution, Ginny decides to put some embarrassing information about Draco to good use. Ahh, nothing like one-upmanship to kindle a little romance.

Yeah. I'm so ashamed. No flaming is necessary on this story- I feel bad all on my own. *ducks head* I'm almost done writing a new chapter now (thanks to Mynuet putting her boot to my backside in a subtle prod), but in the meantime, I'll upload the chapters posted elsewhere so I'm all caught up.

I should probably go ahead and officially list this as AU now that HBP went ahead and wreaked havoc on it.

8. Chapter 8 (Reviews - 3) 2111 words

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post, but I'm in the middle of finals week for the summer semester, and I'm too much of a nerd to accept a B instead of an A because I was working on fics when I should have been studying.

This is the first chapter that definitely deserves the 'Naughty' rating, so be aware. If you don't want to be exposed to a bout of heavy snogging and very mild violence, hit the back button now. I didn't tag the story with a warning because the violence is neither sexual nor graphic, but I feel obliged to warn you that it is there.

I think I've mentioned this before, but this story is officially AU- a person is alive here that is not in canon after HBP. Yeah, this is one of those stories that got shot completely out of the air when HBP came out. Oh well- on with the AU fun.

Nobody fall off their chairs, but it's actually a new chapter. Brand new, not one I already had written but hadn't gotten around to posting here. Boo, lazy author. Hooray, new chapter! Read and drop me a review to tell me what you think.

15. Chapter 15 (Reviews - 22) 4752 words

If anyone is actually still reading this story (I know, I am the worst updater ever), then you have jandjsalmon to thank for this chapter. She very kindly gave up a night of her life to let me bounce ideas off of her, and I wouldn't have been nearly as diligent about writing this if she hadn't been so nice about the whole thing.

Thanks, Jess!

A/N: All right, don't choke, but I've written a new chapter. Yep, that's right, Hell is a bit chilly today. :) The plan is that I'm going to finish all of my works in progress (my New Year's resolution). On a side note for those of you are interested, I plan to have the new Occam's Razor up later tonight, as well.

In any event, Happy Valentine's Day, I hope you like it, and don't forget to review!
