A/N: The start of a new story! Yay! "Shooting Stars" will be a collection of drabbles written for The DG Forum's Challenge, "100 Drabbles, 100 Days." As of this point, my drabbles are designed as stand-alone pieces. If one ever happens to be a "sequel", I'll mention it in an a/n. I'm probably going to keep all of them Draco/Ginny oriented :)

So follow along as I take on this challenge! This is just the beginning of the ride! Enjoy it with me :)

"New"

Finally, Ginny thought to herself as she left the clammy Potions room. Whatever Snape was brewing while he'd been observing her detention had smelled awful. She was glad to be out of there, especially since she'd finished early and so had nearly a whole hour before dinner to relax with her latest book in the common room.

One last corner and a set of short stairs and she'd be back in neutral territory, in the Great Hall and out of the unwelcoming dungeons. She glanced behind her one last time as she turned the corner, but as she found out as she ran into a very solid object, her eyes should have faced forward.

She thumped against a very male chest, dropping all her things and stepping on his feet in the process. The male in question automatically caught her arm to keep her upright, but Ginny immediately took a step back, only to look into the eyes of Draco Malfoy.

He yelped when he dropped his eyes to his shoes. "You scuffed them," He said disbelievingly. "I've not even had these shoes a day and they're already scuffed!"

The tips of Ginny's ears went pink, but she brazenly glared at him. "I'm sure you have a dozen other pairs of the exact same shoe," She said scathingly, quickly gathering her scattered belongings.

"But these are my newest pair!" He said belligerently, as if that simple statement explained everything. He directed an icy glare at her. "I'm not polishing them." He stated haughtily.

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Have the house elves do it." She made to move past him in the corridor, except that his expression turned horror-struck, and she couldn't resist stopping to giggle at the sight.

"The… house elves," Draco spluttered when he could speak again. "They would make a horrid mess of it! They would ruin my shoes!"

She scoffed and continued moving, except he grabbed her arm. "No, that wouldn't do, having the house elves ruin my newest pair of shoes." He announced. "Well, you'll just have to come along then."

"What!" She tried to jerk out of his grasp, but it was iron-clad. "No way!"

"No other options," Draco said firmly. "Come along, then." He let go of her arm and beckoned her along.

As she followed him, she decided this wouldn't be so bad if she got to look at him the whole time.

The DG Forum's 100 Days, 100 Drabbles Challenge:

Objective: To write one hundred drabbles in one hundred days or less.

Guidelines:

1. The first drabble must be posted after June 20th and the last by September 27th, one hundred days later. The last drabble must be posted within one hundred days. If you aren't able to post on the last day of the challenge, then you may post them - and complete the challenge - earlier.

2. Drabbles must not be more than 400 words long. If you go over, edit.

3. Responses should not be posted in this thread. Instead, I suggest creating a new story and posting them there.

4. Drabbles must be posted in the order prompted, with the prompt as the title of the chapter. Each drabble must be in a separate chapter, if you later post at FIA this rule may be disregarded, as at FIA every chapter must have over one thousand words.

5. Drabbles must be in the HP fandom, but you may use any characters you wish.

Winners shall have the honour of being included in a Lexicon entry and will be allowed the title: Winner of The DG Forum's 100 Days, 100 Drabbles (posted to their Lexicon user summary).

I'm excited for that title already and I've only written the first one! ;) Reviews add to your good karma. Just a side note :)
