Hey all readers!!! This is One Tear, and we hope you enjoy it!!! This is
the summer two years after Draco's seventh year and Ginny's last year,
basically meaning Draco's 19 and Ginny's 18.
Disclaimer: We don't own any of the characters, JK Rowling does, and we only own Jennifer Beaux. Enjoy!!!
_____________________________________________________________
Draco's mother quickly got out of the black limousine and told the chauffeur to get all of Draco's stuff. Draco groaned as he stepped out of the limousine and into the bright light of the sun.
"Great, another year at this dump." Said Draco waiting by the doorway for the chauffeur to finish getting all of his stuff.
"This is not a dump Draco. I spent quite a deal of money for this luxurious hotel. It gets a lot of money and you should appreciate it. It's got everything anyone on vacation would want." Said Lucius Malfoy.
"Not when you come here every summer." Said Draco under his breath.
The chauffeur finally finished getting all of Draco's stuff and stood beside the limousine door, waiting for Draco's parents.
Draco's parents were off to another Ministry project like every summer they ever had and Draco was left at this hotel every summer. He wasn't very happy about it either. The hotel was probably the best of all hotels. It was for muggles and witches, wizards and warlocks. It had a huge swimming pool, a great garden, a great spa and spa service, a great beach; it had practically everything but an amusement park. So Lucius expected his son to love it, but coming here every year made it get tiring and boring.
Draco's mother stepped into the limousine with Lucius following after. Before the chauffeur drove away, Lucius opened the window and looked over at Draco. Draco waited to hear what he wanted to tell him this time. Last time it was about training hard while he enjoyed his summer, kinda of impossible don't you think?
"Draco, relax this time. The Weasley's will be here, you should know how to handle them," Said Lucius at last as he rolled up the window and the limousine drove off.
'What?! The Weasley's! When could they afford something like this?' thought Draco in confusion, but he decided to just try to avoid them. When he got inside the hotel, the manager, Edward Brumly, greeted him.
"Mr. Malfoy! So glad you could make it this year as well. Is there anything I could get you right now?" asked Mr. Brumly with a bow.
"Didn't have a choice." Mumbled Draco under his breath.
"What was it that you said sir?" asked Mr. Brumly with a polite smile.
"My bags." Reminded Draco.
"Oh, right sir, right away sir. Your room is on the second floor, room number 213 as usual sir. " Bowed Edward Brumly, then quickly grabbed Draco's bags and carried it to his room. Draco sighed and entered the T.V. room. He didn't much enjoy muggle things, but the 'Five Star Brumly Hotel' was for muggles as well, so he couldn't get rid of it.
He turned on the T.V. in boredom. Since his father owned this place, he had gotten the hang of how to use muggle technology. He sighed once again when there was nothing interesting on and decided to take a stroll in the garden, though he detested it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Good bye father. I will be sure the rest of us behave." Said Percy with a nod to reassure him.
"Well, we trust you Percy. It's just Fred and George that worry us." Said Mrs. Weasley nervously.
"Hey!" said George and Fred at the same time.
"Well, the ministry did pay for this vacation, so behave yourselves got it? They wouldn't want explosives lying around or anything like that." Said Mr. Weasley sternly.
"Why us? Now why would we do a thing like that? We're perfect angels, just like Percy." Laughed Fred as George snickered.
Mrs. Weasley wasn't very happy about their behavior. "No mother. Don't worry. They'll get along. I'll be here." Smiled Charlie. Mrs. Weasley sighed as Mr. Weasley put an arm around his wife and got back into the car.
Everyone waved good-bye, as they stood rooted to the ground until Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were out of sight.
Ron sighed. "Whew, finally. I thought they were never going to leave."
"Your parents are very nice, Ron." Stated Hermione.
"Don't bother taking their side Hermione. You'll regret it." Said Ron as he headed inside.
"But… but…" Hermione sputtered, but Harry put an arm on her shoulder and shook his head. Signaling to her, not to bother arguing. Ron wasn't going to change his perspective.
"Sorry, but I won't be staying very long. I'll be here for another three days, and then I have to tend to my job." Said Bill.
"Gringotts?" asked Charlie. Bill nodded his head as he walked up to the front counter.
"The Weasley's." Said Bill. The manager looked down the list and nodded his head when he reached their names.
"With Potter and Granger?" he asked. Bill nodded.
"Your rooms are upstairs on the second floor. Room number 202, 205, 211, 212, 215, 216, 217, 218, and 219." Said Mr. Brumly.
"Thank you." Smiled Charlie as he grabbed their keys and headed upstairs.
"I'm taking room 205!" yelled Ginny as she watched her brother head upstairs.
"Sure." He answered, without a second thought.
Ron, Hermione, and Harry looked around, admiring the hotel's charm and warmth. It was beautiful.
"Wow…" whispered Ron in awe as he stared at the new broom by the window.
"Let's go for a dip in the pool. I heard its great." Smiled Ginny.
"Sure." Smiled Hermione. Harry nodded and dragged Ron away from the broom by the window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Man, it's pathetic out here. It's gets worse every year." Sighed Draco in boredom as he headed back in.
He hadn't even spent three minutes in the garden and he already wanted to leave.
'Well, might as well go for a swim. The water better not be so warm this time.' Thought Draco when he got into his room.
He grabbed his swimming stuff and walked downstairs, where he saw some maids, butlers, waiters, waitresses, chiefs, and of course, the manager.
"What can we do for you now Mr. Malfoy?" asked Mr. Brumly.
"Simple, leave me alone. Is the water cooler this time?" asked Draco.
"Yes sir. As you requested sir." Answered Mr. Brumly.
"Good then. Make sure you inform me where the Weasley's are at all times, all right Brumly?" asked Draco.
"Yes sir." Mr. Brumly bowed as he walked over to the monitor to check.
Draco was just about to go into the swimming pool when Ginny walked out. Draco took a step back and hid behind the wall.
'This is ridiculous! Since when did A Malfoy hide from a Weasley?! Fine, I don't want to go swimming anyways.' Thought Draco in frustration as he stomped back over to the counter, where Mr. Brumly was.
"Brumly. Did I not tell you to inform me where the Weasley's were at all times?" asked Draco in a dangerously angry, but calm voice. Draco glared at Mr. Brumly angrily; you could almost see venom in his eyes. Mr. Brumly gulped helplessly, fearing Draco's rage and nodded shakily.
"Y… yes s…s…sir, I… was… no…not a…aware of *gulp* the… W… Weasley's position. I'm terribly s… sorry sir. It will never EVER happen again. I promise you." Said Mr. Brumly with his head low.
"It better not, there is nothing worse than a Weasley." Growled Draco as he thought of Ron and his twin brothers.
"Yes sir." Said Mr. Brumly.
Draco went back into his room and changed back into his expensive black robes, then headed back down to the counter. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. Giving them some rest, he was tired from the long ride anyways. The sunlight streaked through the glass doors of the hotel's entrance, giving his blond hair a bit of a sparkle shine. His pale white face outlined by the rays and shadows of the covers, made his features show perfectly clear. Both giving him an incredible irresistible look any girl would fall for.
Just then, the doors to the entrance opened up, and a girl around Draco's age walked in. You could tell immediately she was part veela.
She walked up to the counter and waited for Mr. Brumly to look up from what he was doing. When he didn't, she made a soft coughing noise.
Mr. Brumly looked up and smiled slightly, "May I help you miss?" he asked politely.
"Yes. I registered a room here. My name is Jennifer Beaux, and I'm sure I'm on ze list." She said quickly and turned to look around.
Slowly her eyes landed on Draco, and she stared at him in awe. "Maybe there are cute guyz around after all.' She thought with a smile.
Draco could feel her eyes land on him, but he made no attempt to look up at her or move from his position.
"Here you go miss. Room 214 on the second floor." Said Mr. Brumly as he handed her the keys.
"Zank you." She smiled as she took her keys and sat down next to Draco.
"Hi, I don't zink we've met. My name is Jennifer Beaux. I come from ze long line of Beaux, a very well known family." Smiled Jennifer.
Draco couldn't care less who she was or where she came from, but he looked up at her.
Jennifer stared into his eyes and smiled sweetly, making Draco feel utterly sick, but he didn't let any emotions show on his face.
"I'm Draco Malfoy." He said simply.
"Oh, I zink I know you zen. Your family is very rich yes? I always heard ze Malfoy son was, how do you put it… cute?" said Jennifer putting on her veela charm. She tried to show her best smile and silvery blond hair.
Then she started to giggle slightly and flipped her hair off her shoulder. Draco couldn't have been more disgusted by the way she was acting.
"Well, I'm glad you think so." Said Draco as he got up and headed back to his room. Jennifer got up and held onto his arm before he could leave.
"And vere do you zink you're going?" she asked playfully as she put a fingertip on the back of his hand and drew imaginary circles on it.
Draco quickly took his hand away from her. "That is none of your business." He said rudely. He couldn't take much more of this girl.
"Do you have a girlfriend already?" she asked.
Draco thought of lying, but then decided he shouldn't bother wasting energy thinking and just answer.
"No." he said simply.
"Vell, good zen. Come with me, and you can help me get my bags up to my room and we can start, how do you put zis, hanging out?" smiled Jennifer.
Just then Ginny came in. She was dripping wet from the swimming pool making her curves show and her face seemed to sparkle from the rays of the sun.
"Malfoy?" she asked in surprise. She hadn't been expecting him to be here. Then her eyes landed on Jennifer and she smiled warmly at her, but Jennifer gave her an angry glare and looked away.
"Why if it isn't Weasley. Come on." said Draco quickly as he grabbed Ginny's arm and dragged her upstairs.
Jennifer stared on in jealousy. 'So, he's interested in someone else, vell he won't be for long.' She thought.
"Where are you taking me Malfoy?" asked Ginny as she struggled to escape from his grasp. Soon, Draco stopped and let out a sigh of relief.
"What's going on Malfoy? Trying to make another one of your girlfriends jealous?" asked Ginny in anger. She hated the idea of being used in such a way.
"She's not my girlfriend. Not even you could make me so annoyed." Growled Draco, having to explain himself.
Ginny ignored the comment. "What are you doing here anyways Malfoy?" she asked.
"I come here every summer Weasley. Plus my father owns this place." Answered Draco lazily.
"I'm surprised he hasn't named anything here after you already." Said Ginny.
"He has." Said Draco.
"Like what?" asked Ginny in disbelief.
"Check the menu." Smirked Draco.
"Whatever. I'm leaving. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are waiting for me. I promised I'd get them some drinks." Said Ginny as she turned to leave.
"What do they want to drink?" asked Draco.
"Why do you want to know? So you can poison them?" asked Ginny while rolling her eyes.
"Don't' ask Weasley, just answer." Said Draco.
"Harry said he just simply wanted a cup of lemonade, Ron wanted butterbeer and Hermione wanted sprite." Answered Ginny
"And you?" asked Draco.
"Same as Hermione." Answered Ginny while looking at Draco questioningly.
"Watch." Said Draco simply.
Draco turned and opened the door to his room, then grabbed something and came back out.
"Brumly?" he said into it.
"Yes sir? What would you like?" asked Brumly as a hologram of him appeared.
"One cup of lemonade, butterbeer, and two cups of sprite." Answered Draco.
"Right away sir." Said Brumly.
Then all of a sudden, the drinks just appeared on a tray floating in mid air.
"Anything else sir?" asked Brumly.
"No, that's all for now." Said Draco.
"Yes sir." Bowed the hologram of Brumly then disappeared.
Draco grabbed the tray and then threw the hologram speaker back onto his bed.
"Here." He said as he shoved the drinks into Ginny's hands.
"Thanks Malfoy. You know, you really aren't that bad." Smiled Ginny.
"Shut up Weasley. I didn't do it for you, it was just for the favor of not saying anything while I dragged you away in front of Jennifer." Said Draco.
Ginny smiled, "Whatever you say Malfoy."
Draco grumbled as he walked into his room and slammed the door.
Ginny smiled as she headed back down the stairs. When she got back into the swimming pool, Ron ran up to greet her. If you call what he did greeting.
"Ginny, my drink!" Said Ron as he grabbed his drink off the tray and drank it thirstily.
"That's one way to say thank you." Said Ginny glaring at her brother Ron.
Harry and Hermione walked up to her and each grabbed their own drinks.
"Thanks Ginny." They both said at the same time.
"Your welcome." She smiled.
"How'd you get the drinks so fast Ginny?" asked Hermione as she sat down on a table with Harry and Ron.
"Oh, it was just a fast service thing I guess. And I was the first one there." Lied Ginny.
"Well the people here are certainly rude." Complained Ron.
"Why would you say that?" asked Ginny.
"I just said to this guy who was in the changing room, 'Hey, get out and get me a snack O.K.? I'm feeling kinda hungry and I wouldn't mind the specials.' And he yelled 'Get the he*l away from me you ungrateful little runt!' Can you believe it! What kind of service is that?" said Ron angrily as he took a sip from his drink.
"Ron, that was a customer at this hotel. He doesn't work here." Said Harry.
"Oh, so that's why. Well, he still could've been more polite and told me." Said Ron.
"You said 'Get out' why would he go do a thing like that?" asked Hermione in disbelief.
Just then, Jennifer came walking into the swimming pool.
"Hey, who's that?" asked Ron who was practically drooling.
"Her name is Jennifer." Answered Ginny.
"How'd you know that?" asked Harry.
"We sort of met when I was getting the drinks." Answered Ginny.
"So are you friends?" asked Hermione.
"Sort of." Answered Ginny.
"Then you can introduce her to Ron. I think he'd like that. Look at the way he's starring at her." Laughed Harry.
Ginny blushed, and joined in laughing with Hermione.
"What's so funny?" asked Ron as he snapped back into reality.
"I don't think so Harry. He hasn't been very nice to me, why would I want to do him such a favor?" smiled Ginny.
Hermione and Harry nodded in understanding.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ron in confusion.
"Nothing." Answered Hermione.
"Come on!" yelled Ron.
Jennifer looked over at them, but Ron didn't notice, no one did. So she went back to swimming.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Said Ginny.
"Fine! Be that way!" said Ron angrily.
"I'm going to take a shower, I'll meet you guys later." Smiled Ginny as she got up and stared heading out.
"Bye." Said Harry and Hermione, as Ron groaned in annoyance.
Ginny went into her brother's room and found Charlie sitting on his bed reading a book on dragons.
"Hey, Charlie? Where are my stuff?" asked Ginny.
"I put it in your room." Answered Charlie.
"Could I get the keys?" asked Ginny.
Charlie tossed her keys to her without taking his eyes off the page he was reading and Ginny caught it and left the room quietly.
She unlocked the door to her room and grabbed some clothes out of one of her bags. She had decided to bring some muggle clothes so that she wouldn't stick out so much.
'Maybe Malfoy should wear some muggle clothes too. I wonder what his reaction would be if I bought him one. What am I thinking about Malfoy for? Harry's the one for me, isn't he?' thought Ginny as she tried to push the thought out of her mind.
She quickly exited her room and locked the door behind her, and then she headed to the nearest shower on the second floor.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"If I never see Jennifer again, it'd be too soon." Said Draco as he slumped onto his bed. But he knew he would, cause by the way she was acting, it was obvious what kind of girl she was.
Draco got up and sighed. There were a million things he could do, but he had done pretty much all of it. Unless he went out of the hotel's ground, but that would mean unthinkable punishment from his father, since he's father didn't permit it.
Draco opened the door out of his room and walked back out to the hallway. It was still bright out. It had only been ten minutes, but it seemed like hours to Draco.
Draco went over to the closest washroom on the second floor, not looking where he was going, or caring and then opened the door to the washroom, just to hear the loudest scream he had ever heard. He quickly closed the door. He wiped his forehead and realized he was sweating up.
It was Ginny. She was inside taking a shower, but it was a good thing Draco shut the door immediately, cause he didn't see anything.
Just then, he heard people coming and he quickly apparated back into his room unnoticed.
The Weasley family, Harry and Hermione were all standing outside the door where the scream was heard.
"Ginny! Is that you?!" yelled Charlie worriedly.
"Yes! I'll be out in a second!" she yelled back.
A few minutes later, she came out of the washroom dressed in a midnight blue tank top with white straps, and tight jean shorts up to her knees.
"What happened Ginny? Are you all right?" asked Bill.
"Why did you scream?" asked Percy.
"Someone… someone walked in on me." Stammered Ginny, while starring at Harry.
Everyone turned to look at Harry.
"It wasn't me." Said Harry quickly.
"He was with us the whole time." Said Ron.
"Then who was it Ginny?" asked Fred.
"I'm going to pound whoever did this to our little sister." Said George angrily as he pounded his fist into the palm of his hand.
"I didn't see." Answered Ginny.
Her face was flushed from embarrassment, and her hair was still soaking wet. She had tears in her eyes and she was clutching her heart. She almost had a heart attack.
"Are you all right?" asked Hermione as she put an arm on Ginny's shoulder.
"I will be." Said Ginny quietly as she walked back into her room silently.
Her brothers, Harry and Hermione watched her walk off, worried and silent. They weren't sure if they should go in and talk to her, or stay put and leave her alone.
"Harry, why don't you go talk to her?" asked Charlie.
"Why me? I don't know what to say." Asked Harry.
"Everyone knows she fancy you." Said Percy.
Everyone nodded.
"All right." Sighed Harry as he knocked on her door.
"Come in." answered the soft voice timidly.
Harry walked into the room and sat next to Ginny on her bed.
"You O.K. Ginny?" he asked.
"Yea." Lied Ginny.
"Really?" asked Harry raising an eyebrow in disbelief.
Ginny looked up at him and tried to smile, but she couldn't, so she looked down and shook her head.
"So what do you want to do about it?" asked Harry.
"What can I do about it? I didn't see who it was." Said Ginny.
"Your brothers are really worried about you. Even Ron." Said Harry.
"I know." Said Ginny.
They both went silent, not knowing what to say anymore.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What's going on in there?" asked Ron who was leaning on his brothers.
"You guys really shouldn't be spying on her." Scolded Hermione.
"Come on Hermione, don't tell me you don't want to listen in on them as well." Said Ron.
"Shut up the two of you. We can't hear anything." Hissed George.
"There are no more noises. Do you think they know we're listening in one them?" asked Fred.
"No way. Unless Harry told her, but I doubt it. He doesn't even know." Said Bill.
"But he could guess what our actions would be." Said Charlie.
"But do you think he's in a position to think about us right now?" asked Bill.
"I guess you're right." Agreed Charlie.
"We won't hear a thing if you all keep talking." Hissed Percy.
"Chill Percy." Said Bill.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry started to get up, "So… Ginny, are you hiding something from us?" asked Harry.
"What do you mean Harry?" asked Ginny.
"Well, you seem as if there's something you're hiding from us." Said Harry.
"Well… I did meet someone here." Said Ginny unsure if she should say anything.
"And?" asked Harry.
Ginny grabbed her one of her pillows and hugged it tightly. "Well… Harry, I…" started Ginny not wanting to continue.
"O.K. Ginny, it's O.K. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Just that, if anything comes up, and you need us, well, we'll be there." Smiled Harry slightly.
"I know, thanks." Smiled Ginny timidly.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you alone now then." Said Harry as he headed toward the door.
Ginny got up to open it for him, and when she did, her brothers all came tumbling in.
"Uh… nice room?" laughed Fred nervously.
"Guys?" said Ginny glaring at them.
"We were just admiring… your front door?" said Fred getting up.
"You were spying on me." Said Ginny.
"We were worried about you." Said Charlie.
"I know, but you could've just come up to me and say so." Said Ginny.
They all looked at each other, except for Harry and Hermione and then turned back to look at her.
"We can?" they said in union.
"Yes." Laughed Ginny.
Everyone smiled and left. The only ones left were Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"So do you want to go into the sauna?" asked Hermione.
"No, it's alright. I'll just stay here for a while." Smiled Ginny.
"Alright, but if anything happens, just scream." Said Harry.
"I will." Said Ginny.
"O.K. then we'll get going now." Said Hermione as they left.
"Bye." Smiled Ginny as she closed her door and jumped onto her bed and grabbed her diary from under the pillow.
She quickly got out a quill and opened her diary and quickly wrote down:
Dear Diary,
We finally made it to the Five Star Brumly Hotel Harry really cared about me! I can't believe it. He was so caring. I saw Malfoy when I was getting the drinks for Ron, Hermione and Harry. He was actually pretty nice. He got the drinks for me and there was this girl with him. Ron's drooling all over her, as usual. Well, got to go, I want to take a quick stroll in the gardens before lunch.
Ginny
Ginny quickly closed her diary and hid it back under her pillow and put her quill away, then got her summer vest and put it on. After, she headed outside.
When she got there, she sat on a bench and stared at the beautiful scenery by the peaceful lake.
The sun's rays shone threw the tall rose bushes and beautiful daffodils, as the soft breezes gracefully teased the daisies and tulips of all colors. The clouds seemed to stop at the very sight of such beauty and even the butterflies took their places among the flowers. The tall towering trees provided shade while blooming with blossoms of their own, where the violets grew peacefully and undisturbed.
"Beautiful isn't it?" asked a sudden voice, interrupting Ginny's thoughts and daze.
"Huh?" she said as she turned to see who it was.
"Malfoy?" she said.
"Surprised to see me already are we, Weasley?" smirked Draco. His eyes were darker than usual, as if he was hiding something, but not willing to show or tell it.
"What do you want?" asked Ginny not meaning to sound rude.
"Aren't we a bit grumpy?" said Draco through clenched teeth.
"What are you doing here? Don't' you hate sceneries like this?" asked Ginny.
"I do, but it's the place I usually whined up when I'm bored, which is always." Draco smirked.
"Are you going to join the rest of us for lunch?" asked Ginny.
"No, I wouldn't be caught dead with a Weasley." Said Draco.
"You are now aren't you?" asked Ginny with a smile of triumph spreading across her face.
"But I'm not eating with you, or otherwise." Said Draco.
Ginny diverted her gaze back to the garden, "Then won't you be hungry?" she asked without looking at him.
"Are you worried about me?" said Draco with a tint of amusement in his voice.
"No, I'm just wondering." Said Ginny quickly.
"No, Brumly will bring it up. Besides, if I eat with you, I'll end up eating with Jennifer." Said Draco.
They stayed silent in each other's presence for a while until,
"Ginny! It's lunchtime and…" yelled Ron but stopped abruptly when he saw Draco.
"What are you doing here Malfoy?" he growled.
"My father owns this place. And what is your excuse Weasley?" sneered Draco.
"My father had some business thing with the ministry so we came here for vacation." Said Ron.
"Couldn't afford it on your own could you?" Draco smirked.
"Shut up Malfoy. I bet you're the one who walked in on Ginny." Snapped Ron.
Draco went pale as the smirk disappeared from his face.
"Ron!" Ginny hissed in embarrassment.
"What are you talking about Weasley?" said Draco in a dangerous voice.
"Who else would've walked in on Ginny?" said Ron.
"Ron!" hissed Ginny again as she quickly got up and grabbed Ron's arm.
"Be quiet!" she hissed into his ear as she dragged him away.
"But Ginny, he could have been-" started Ron angrily.
"It wasn't him, it couldn't have been." Said Ginny stubbornly.
"Why not?" asked Ron sternly.
"Never mind." Said Ginny.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What's taking Ron so long just to get Ginny, I just saw her in the garden a second ago." Said Hermione.
"Don't worry about it." Said Harry.
"Let's just order first, let's see what's on the menu." Said Fred hungrily.
"No way!" said Bill in disbelief all of a sudden.
"What is it?" asked Charlie.
"Turn to page 15 of the menu." Said Bill.
Everyone turned to page 15 and gasped.
"Do you think it's poisoned?" asked George.
"No, that'd only make them loose customers." Said Bill.
"Well, do you think he paid the employers to name it after them?" asked Percy.
"Why would he just do that for food? My guess is the Malfoy's own this hotel." Said Bill.
"Oh, just great." Said Fred in sarcasm.
"It's not that bad. Let me see." Said Ginny as she reached her spot next to Harry and Bill.
"Ginny, what took you so long?" asked Hermione.
"Hermione was really worried about you." Said Harry.
"Malfoy was there." Said Ron angrily.
"You're kidding right?" said Harry in disbelief.
"Do I look like I'm kidding around?! I'm serious! He's out there." Growled Ron in anger.
"Calm down Ron. I'm sure if you leave him alone he'll le-" started Hermione.
"No he won't! He's a Malfoy! Born to make everyone's lives miserable. That's his only purpose." Ron interrupted.
"We all know you hate him Ron, but you don't have to be so harsh about it." Said Percy.
Just then, Jennifer walked in.
"Um… Is Draco Malfoy here?" she asked.
Ron growled in jealousy. "No, not right now, but maybe you'd like to eat with us. Oh by the way, my name is Ron Weasley." Said Ron.
Fred and George snickered. "He's so corny." Whispered Fred.
"I quite agree." Said George trying to hold onto his laughter.
Jennifer glanced around and saw Ginny. "My name is Jennifer Beaux. I'll just eat here until Draco Malfoy comes." She said quickly as she took a seat at the table, next to Ron.
"He's not coming." Smiled Ginny.
"I don't zink I can trust you on zat." Said Jennifer.
George and Fred stopped laughing immediately and glared at Jennifer angrily.
"It's alright." Said Ginny looking at her two brothers. "See for yourself if he comes."
"I zink I will." Said Jennifer as she opened her menu.
"What will you be having Jennifer?" asked Ron.
"I zink I will have ze Draco Malfoy soup special." Smiled Jennifer putting down her menu.
"Oh, and you Harry?" asked Ron trying to smile politely.
"Oh, I think I'll just have the same as Hermione." Answered Harry.
"And I'll be having slug soup." Smiled Hermione.
Harry looked over at her like she was crazy, and gulped nervously.
"I'm just kidding Harry. I'll have the special." smiled Hermione.
"Who would have guess Hermione of all people, would actually have a sense of humor." Said Ron in amusement.
Hermione ignored his comment.
"What will you have Ginny?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, What will you have?" asked Jennifer seeming interested all of a sudden.
"I think I'll just have the same as Harry and Hermione." Smiled Ginny. "You Bill?" asked Ginny.
"I'll have to think it through some more." Answered Bill.
"We'll have this and this and this." Said George and Fred at the same time while pointing to the menu.
"Do you even know what that is?" asked Ginny.
"No, but we're going to try it anyways." Smiled Fred.
"Wow, you guys are brave." Laughed Charlie.
"We sure are." Smiled George.
"What's wrong with you Percy, you've been pretty quiet. You haven't even been lecturing Fred and George on their table manners, like no elbows on the table." Said Bill.
"Hey!" said Fred and George in union.
"No offence." Smiled Bill.
"None taken." Said George.
"The ministry just wrote by owl, I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow." Said Percy.
"Yes!" yelled Fred and George as the high fived each other.
"For what?" asked Charlie.
"It confidential, I can't tell you. Sorry." Said Percy in an important sort of voice.
"No, that's quite alright." Smiled Charlie.
"So what are you going to do in the mean time?" asked Harry.
"I'll probably be packing up and working on some paper work." Sighed Percy.
"What's wrong Percy? I thought you loved working." Smirked Fred as George snickered.
"Shut up Fred!" snapped Percy.
"Madams and sirs, have you decided what to order yet?" asked a waiter.
"Yes, we're pretty much done." Said Hermione.
"We will have this, this and this, and three specials, one Draco Malfoy soup special and Charlie?" asked Ginny.
"Oh, I'll just have the Popbottled nose dish, with butterbeer thanks." Answered Charlie.
"I'll have some water and a nice turkey sandwich. Thank you." Said Percy.
"And I'll, hmmm… have the dino-burger." Said Bill.
"I'll have Ginfernoodle and butterbeer please." Said Ron.
"I heard ze Ginfernoddle is very spicy and it'z hard to handle." Said Jennifer.
"I ate it when I was only one years old cause of Fred and George. They told me it tasted like chocolate, but I'm used to it now." Said Ron.
Fred and George burst out in laughter.
"Wow, you are very brave non?" said Jennifer.
"Yea, I'm am. I laugh at the face of danger." Smiled Ron.
"And hide under your bed." Laughed Ginny.
"Wha… what are you talking about?" asked Ron angrily.
"Remember when you were five? Fred and George made you believe there was a monster in your room after you every time you're alone. You wouldn't get out from under their bed for weeks." Laughed Ginny.
"We know. We regretted telling him that after. He wouldn't come out from under my bed." Groaned George.
"I know, we didn't get to do any prank planning in our room for weeks." Agreed Fred.
"Here you are. Just what you ordered." Said the waiter bringing the food.
"Thank you." Smiled Harry as the waiter walked away.
"Let's eat then." Said Hermione.
"Hmmm… this is great! What is it made out of anyways?" asked George.
Hermione raised her hand up into the air and the waiter came back.
"Yes miss?" he asked.
"What is that made out of?" asked Hermione pointing to George's dish.
"That is made out of slugs and bits of lettuce and crushed up octopus tentacles, with a bit of dragon dung for the final touch and a fair mixture of salt." Answered the waiter.
George all of a sudden turned a pale white and then green. He quickly put his hand over his mouth and murmured quickly, "Excuse me."
Everyone burst out in laughter.
"And what's this? It tastes awesome!" smiled Fred.
"It's chicken wings with a touch of vinegar and garlic isn't it?" asked Fred.
"Close sir. It's shark fins with hunch spice and garlic." Answered the waiter.
"Well, that ain't so bad." Smiled Fred.
"Uh, Fred?" said Bill.
"Yea?" Asked Fred.
"You're allergic to hunch spice." Laughed Bill.
"Excuse me." Said Fred as he ran off to the washroom as well.
"That's why I never order something I don't know what it is." Said Percy.
"But if you don't try, how will you know if it tastes good or not?" said Hermione.
"Where's Draco Malfoy?" asked Jennifer all of a sudden.
"Like I said before, he's not coming." Said Ginny.
"Vell zen, I have no point of being here. I'll be going." Said Jennifer getting up.
"Wait Jennifer, aren't you at least going to finish your Draco Malfoy soup special?" asked Ron.
"I'm not very hungry, zank you." Said Jennifer simply.
"Then let me walk you to your room." Said Ron.
"I'm not going to my room." Said Jennifer.
"Then where ever. I don't have anything to do right now." Said Ron quickly.
"Very vell. Might as vell go to my room, you can help me unpack." Said Jennifer as she turned around and started heading toward the entrance where the closest stairs were.
Ron got up and walked after her.
"Ron must really like her." Said Harry.
"He likes all veela's." said Charlie.
"It's true." Laughed Bill.
"But what about Lavender? I thought he liked her." Said Hermione.
"That's what I thought too." Said Harry.
"They haven't seen each other since last year, when she went to visit one of her relatives. I think he's gotten over her already." Said Ginny.
"What about Lavender? She really liked him, though I really do wonder why she'd ever like a guy like Ron." Said Hermione sadly.
"Must be the old Weasley charm right Percy?" laughed Bill.
Percy smiled and took a bit out of his lunch, while gazing out the window.
"What's wrong Percy?" asked Ginny.
"Huh? Oh nothing. The ministry really needs me, or at least the new minister said he could really use my help. I told him I was supposed to take care of you guys. I told him I'd be there the day after tomorrow, but I think I should really be there right now. " Said Percy.
"Then go." said Harry.
"I can't. What about George and Fred, you know they're big trouble makers." Said Percy.
"We'll take care of them." Smiled Charlie.
"Thanks, then I guess I'll get going." Smiled Percy thankfully as he got up from his seat and ran back to his room happily.
"Of course I'm leaving the day after the day after tomorrow." Said Bill.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Smiled Charlie.
"Thanks." smiled Bill.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco was standing behind the doorway, listening in on Ginny and everyone, while they ate. 'It's a good thing I didn't eat here this time then.' thought Draco.
He quickly turned and walked toward the lounge as soon as he saw Jennifer and Ron heading his way.
"Vell Ron Veasley, would you get me some... how do you put zis in a nice vay, uh... some space? I really don't vant to be caught vith you ven Draco Malfoy is around, which I believe is very soon. Since I know I can be quite... good to look at. Do you know, zat I vork as a part time model? I prefer to be sharing vith others who don't have my beauty." smiled Jennifer.
Ron looked at her in disgust. 'Man, does she only care about herself or what? I always get myself attracted to these types of people don't I? Well, she's not my type. I wonder what I should to tell her. Maybe to say I'm not attracted to her. Naw.' thought Ron, knowing that she probably didn't care, but the urge to pop her ego was just irresistible.
"Ron? Can you hear me? Stand over zere will you?" asked Jennifer again while pointing about a meter away from her.
"Why?" asked Ron.
"Vell, I really vouldn't vant to be caught dead vith you vould I?" said Jennifer.
"Look, um... you're uh... nice? And everything, but I'm not attracted to you, so it'd be real nice if you didn't treat me like trash." said Ron staring at Jennifer, waiting for her reaction.
Jennifer stared at Ron in shock.
"Vell, I'm very sure zat you didn't mean zat. You are forgiven. You'll see soon enough how beautiful I really am, and you von't be able to resist." smiled Jennifer.
"I already have a girlfriend," said Ron, whom was getting rather annoyed at how highly Jennifer thought of herself.
"And vhere is she?" asked Jennifer in disbelief that anyone would like Ron.
"She's of somewhere visiting a relative," said Ron sadly.
"Right, zat's vhat they all say. Give it up Ron Veasley, you vouldn't get one in a million years." said Jennifer with a delicate hand movement to push him to the side. She then got out a tissue and wiped her hands, as if Ron had dangerous germs on him.
"Excuse me, but I think I'll just be leaving now," said Ron angrily.
"But vhat about my bags?" asked Jennifer in shock.
"I guess you'll have to do it yourself. Hope you don't break one of your delicate nails." growled Ron as he stomped back to the place where Ginny and everyone was.
"Very vell zen. I don't need you; I can get someone else to do it for me. Vhere's Draco Malfoy anyvays?" said Jennifer looking around.
"Even if he were here, he wouldn't help you. I almost feel sorry for him, having to deal with a girl like you. Almost." said Ron before he disappeared behind a wall.
"Fine, who needs him anyvays." said Jennifer angrily. No guy had ever done that to her before, and she didn't quite like it either.
Draco smirked seeing the sight of Ron, actually turning down a veela, not that he'd blame him for doing so though.
"Draco!" squealed Jennifer all of a sudden.
Draco turned around and saw her running toward him, 'I've been spotted! Damn! I better get out of here then.' thought Draco as he started running.
"Draco! Vere are you going? I need your help!" yelled Jennifer as she came to a halt.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That girl is nothing but trouble." Sighed Ron as he walked back to his seat at the table.
"Hey Ron, how'd it go with Jennifer?" asked Harry.
"Poorly probably. He's the corniest guy I know." laughed Bill.
"Shut up Bill! She's the worst person I have ever met," growled Ron angrily as he stuffed his face with Ginfernoodle.
"I never liked her," said Hermione.
"Aww, Hermione. Give her a chance, I'm sure that if you do, you'll like her." teased Ron, in the voice Hermione use to lecture Harry and him in.
"Be quiet Ron. You don't know the first thing about her. You should talk," said Hermione.
"Hey, you think we should go check on Percy before he leaves?" asked Harry.
"Yea, I guess we should," said Charlie thoughtfully.
"Then let's go." said Bill as he got up and walked toward the nearest stairs.
Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Charlie got up and followed Bill.
When they got to Percy's room, the door was wide open and everything was already empty. They stepped into the now empty room and looked around.
Harry's eyes soon landed on a note lying on the bed table and picked it up.
"Hey you guys, look here," said Harry. Everyone walked over to him and peered over his shoulder at the note.
"What does it say?" asked Bill.
Dear family and friends, not including George and Fred,
I decided to leave immediately instead of waiting any longer. Bill and Charlie have agreed to taking care of the two big troublemakers, and I was going to leave tonight, but I couldn't hold it any longer. I need to be there, and I'm sure you all understand. By the way, Bill, there's another engagement you must attend. I found a note in your room while I was getting my wand, and I fell upon the note. It said that you are needed at the Gringotts right away, so I guess Charlie will be stuck with the two troublemakers instead. You must arrive there by midnight tonight. I'm sure you'll read this note before then, and as for you Charlie, I'd like to wish you the best of luck. Remember to teach George and Fred a lesson if they get out of hand, I would have loved to do it myself, but you know I need to be somewhere. Good day to all of you.
With love,
Percy Weasley
Former Head Boy of Gryffindor, was a prefect and works for the ministry at the moment.
"That's Percy alright. Only he'd write something as stupid as that at the end." said Ron, rolling his eyes.
"Wait, there's something else here." said Harry as he looked down to the bottom of the parchment.
I'd like to add, Ron, it's not stupid. You're probably just jealous about my achievements. I like to bring honor to the Weasley's family name, so you better ass well. Look at me. I'm a perfect role model.
"No, he brings a lot of pain and agony to the Weasley name. We'll be known as the most workful wizarding family in all of London, not to mention boring." sighed Ron.
"Well, I rather quite agree with your Brother Ron. Why can't you be more like him?" asked Hermione.
"Hermione, if more people were like him, we'd be extinct by now," said Ron as he left the room.
"Well, I guess I should start packing. Sorry I couldn't stay any longer," said Bill.
"No problem." smiled Charlie as Bill walked away to his room.
"So what do you want to do now?" asked Hermione when everyone left but Harry.
"I don't know. You want to go get some ice cream at the amusement park a few blocks from here?" asked Harry.
"Sure, why not?" smiled Hermione as she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room.
Harry smiled as he was dragged away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you feeling better now Fred?" asked George leaning against the washroom door.
"I've been better," said Fred as he vomited some more.
Then he got up and flushed the toilet, but then he saw a silver object swirling around the green vomit.
"What's that?" asked Fred pointing at it.
"I don't know," said George as he walked over, but then something fell out of his pocket and mixed up with the silver object. The water started turning from green, to purple, to a bright golden yellow to black, then to pink as the water vomit went down the drain. Fred made a useless attempt to grab the object, but failed.
"What was that?" said George.
"I don't know, but we've got to find it! It could be used for millions of pranks! Just imagine." said Fred dreamily.
"Uh, maybe you should wash your hands first," said George holding his nose.
"Oh, right." said Fred sheepishly as he went to the sink and washed his hands off.
"Let's leave and go back home then. We can search the underground water systems for it." said George.
"Great idea. But let's not tell anyone about this. It'll be our secret." smiled Fred slyly as George nodded in agreement with a smirk of triumph crossing his face.
They walked out of the washroom and ran up to Charlie's room.
"Hey Charlie, me and George have to… something came up and we have to do something." said Fred.
"And what would that be?" asked Charlie looking up at them questioningly.
"We can't say. It's a secret operation. So we'll be leaving, we just wanted you to know." answered George.
"Fine, whatever. Just don't cause any trouble where ever you're going alright?" asked Charlie.
"Us?" asked Fred with a hurt look on his face.
"Yes, the both of you." said Charlie.
"Don't worry, we won't." smiled George. 'Not yet anyways.' he thought.
"Fine, I guess you guys should start packing then?" asked Charlie.
"Bye!" waved George and Fred cheerfully as they quickly ran out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny sighed as she lay silently on her bed. She couldn't stop thinking about Jennifer.
'Why does she hate me so much?' thought Ginny sadly.
Just then, a knock on the door was heard and Ginny got up to open the door.
"Huh? What are you doing here?" asked Ginny in surprise.

Draco's mother quickly got out of the black limousine and told the chauffeur to get all of Draco's stuff. Draco groaned as he stepped out of the limousine and into the bright light of the sun.
"Great, another year at this dump." Said Draco waiting by the doorway for the chauffeur to finish getting all of his stuff.
"This is not a dump Draco. I spent quite a deal of money for this luxurious hotel. It gets a lot of money and you should appreciate it. It's got everything anyone on vacation would want." Said Lucius Malfoy.
"Not when you come here every summer." Said Draco under his breath.
The chauffeur finally finished getting all of Draco's stuff and stood beside the limousine door, waiting for Draco's parents.
Draco's parents were off to another Ministry project like every summer they ever had and Draco was left at this hotel every summer. He wasn't very happy about it either. The hotel was probably the best of all hotels. It was for muggles and witches, wizards and warlocks. It had a huge swimming pool, a great garden, a great spa and spa service, a great beach; it had practically everything but an amusement park. So Lucius expected his son to love it, but coming here every year made it get tiring and boring.
Draco's mother stepped into the limousine with Lucius following after. Before the chauffeur drove away, Lucius opened the window and looked over at Draco. Draco waited to hear what he wanted to tell him this time. Last time it was about training hard while he enjoyed his summer, kinda of impossible don't you think?
"Draco, relax this time. The Weasley's will be here, you should know how to handle them," Said Lucius at last as he rolled up the window and the limousine drove off.
'What?! The Weasley's! When could they afford something like this?' thought Draco in confusion, but he decided to just try to avoid them. When he got inside the hotel, the manager, Edward Brumly, greeted him.
"Mr. Malfoy! So glad you could make it this year as well. Is there anything I could get you right now?" asked Mr. Brumly with a bow.
"Didn't have a choice." Mumbled Draco under his breath.
"What was it that you said sir?" asked Mr. Brumly with a polite smile.
"My bags." Reminded Draco.
"Oh, right sir, right away sir. Your room is on the second floor, room number 213 as usual sir. " Bowed Edward Brumly, then quickly grabbed Draco's bags and carried it to his room. Draco sighed and entered the T.V. room. He didn't much enjoy muggle things, but the 'Five Star Brumly Hotel' was for muggles as well, so he couldn't get rid of it.
He turned on the T.V. in boredom. Since his father owned this place, he had gotten the hang of how to use muggle technology. He sighed once again when there was nothing interesting on and decided to take a stroll in the garden, though he detested it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Good bye father. I will be sure the rest of us behave." Said Percy with a nod to reassure him.
"Well, we trust you Percy. It's just Fred and George that worry us." Said Mrs. Weasley nervously.
"Hey!" said George and Fred at the same time.
"Well, the ministry did pay for this vacation, so behave yourselves got it? They wouldn't want explosives lying around or anything like that." Said Mr. Weasley sternly.
"Why us? Now why would we do a thing like that? We're perfect angels, just like Percy." Laughed Fred as George snickered.
Mrs. Weasley wasn't very happy about their behavior. "No mother. Don't worry. They'll get along. I'll be here." Smiled Charlie. Mrs. Weasley sighed as Mr. Weasley put an arm around his wife and got back into the car.
Everyone waved good-bye, as they stood rooted to the ground until Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were out of sight.
Ron sighed. "Whew, finally. I thought they were never going to leave."
"Your parents are very nice, Ron." Stated Hermione.
"Don't bother taking their side Hermione. You'll regret it." Said Ron as he headed inside.
"But… but…" Hermione sputtered, but Harry put an arm on her shoulder and shook his head. Signaling to her, not to bother arguing. Ron wasn't going to change his perspective.
"Sorry, but I won't be staying very long. I'll be here for another three days, and then I have to tend to my job." Said Bill.
"Gringotts?" asked Charlie. Bill nodded his head as he walked up to the front counter.
"The Weasley's." Said Bill. The manager looked down the list and nodded his head when he reached their names.
"With Potter and Granger?" he asked. Bill nodded.
"Your rooms are upstairs on the second floor. Room number 202, 205, 211, 212, 215, 216, 217, 218, and 219." Said Mr. Brumly.
"Thank you." Smiled Charlie as he grabbed their keys and headed upstairs.
"I'm taking room 205!" yelled Ginny as she watched her brother head upstairs.
"Sure." He answered, without a second thought.
Ron, Hermione, and Harry looked around, admiring the hotel's charm and warmth. It was beautiful.
"Wow…" whispered Ron in awe as he stared at the new broom by the window.
"Let's go for a dip in the pool. I heard its great." Smiled Ginny.
"Sure." Smiled Hermione. Harry nodded and dragged Ron away from the broom by the window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Man, it's pathetic out here. It's gets worse every year." Sighed Draco in boredom as he headed back in.
He hadn't even spent three minutes in the garden and he already wanted to leave.
'Well, might as well go for a swim. The water better not be so warm this time.' Thought Draco when he got into his room.
He grabbed his swimming stuff and walked downstairs, where he saw some maids, butlers, waiters, waitresses, chiefs, and of course, the manager.
"What can we do for you now Mr. Malfoy?" asked Mr. Brumly.
"Simple, leave me alone. Is the water cooler this time?" asked Draco.
"Yes sir. As you requested sir." Answered Mr. Brumly.
"Good then. Make sure you inform me where the Weasley's are at all times, all right Brumly?" asked Draco.
"Yes sir." Mr. Brumly bowed as he walked over to the monitor to check.
Draco was just about to go into the swimming pool when Ginny walked out. Draco took a step back and hid behind the wall.
'This is ridiculous! Since when did A Malfoy hide from a Weasley?! Fine, I don't want to go swimming anyways.' Thought Draco in frustration as he stomped back over to the counter, where Mr. Brumly was.
"Brumly. Did I not tell you to inform me where the Weasley's were at all times?" asked Draco in a dangerously angry, but calm voice. Draco glared at Mr. Brumly angrily; you could almost see venom in his eyes. Mr. Brumly gulped helplessly, fearing Draco's rage and nodded shakily.
"Y… yes s…s…sir, I… was… no…not a…aware of *gulp* the… W… Weasley's position. I'm terribly s… sorry sir. It will never EVER happen again. I promise you." Said Mr. Brumly with his head low.
"It better not, there is nothing worse than a Weasley." Growled Draco as he thought of Ron and his twin brothers.
"Yes sir." Said Mr. Brumly.
Draco went back into his room and changed back into his expensive black robes, then headed back down to the counter. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes. Giving them some rest, he was tired from the long ride anyways. The sunlight streaked through the glass doors of the hotel's entrance, giving his blond hair a bit of a sparkle shine. His pale white face outlined by the rays and shadows of the covers, made his features show perfectly clear. Both giving him an incredible irresistible look any girl would fall for.
Just then, the doors to the entrance opened up, and a girl around Draco's age walked in. You could tell immediately she was part veela.
She walked up to the counter and waited for Mr. Brumly to look up from what he was doing. When he didn't, she made a soft coughing noise.
Mr. Brumly looked up and smiled slightly, "May I help you miss?" he asked politely.
"Yes. I registered a room here. My name is Jennifer Beaux, and I'm sure I'm on ze list." She said quickly and turned to look around.
Slowly her eyes landed on Draco, and she stared at him in awe. "Maybe there are cute guyz around after all.' She thought with a smile.
Draco could feel her eyes land on him, but he made no attempt to look up at her or move from his position.
"Here you go miss. Room 214 on the second floor." Said Mr. Brumly as he handed her the keys.
"Zank you." She smiled as she took her keys and sat down next to Draco.
"Hi, I don't zink we've met. My name is Jennifer Beaux. I come from ze long line of Beaux, a very well known family." Smiled Jennifer.
Draco couldn't care less who she was or where she came from, but he looked up at her.
Jennifer stared into his eyes and smiled sweetly, making Draco feel utterly sick, but he didn't let any emotions show on his face.
"I'm Draco Malfoy." He said simply.
"Oh, I zink I know you zen. Your family is very rich yes? I always heard ze Malfoy son was, how do you put it… cute?" said Jennifer putting on her veela charm. She tried to show her best smile and silvery blond hair.
Then she started to giggle slightly and flipped her hair off her shoulder. Draco couldn't have been more disgusted by the way she was acting.
"Well, I'm glad you think so." Said Draco as he got up and headed back to his room. Jennifer got up and held onto his arm before he could leave.
"And vere do you zink you're going?" she asked playfully as she put a fingertip on the back of his hand and drew imaginary circles on it.
Draco quickly took his hand away from her. "That is none of your business." He said rudely. He couldn't take much more of this girl.
"Do you have a girlfriend already?" she asked.
Draco thought of lying, but then decided he shouldn't bother wasting energy thinking and just answer.
"No." he said simply.
"Vell, good zen. Come with me, and you can help me get my bags up to my room and we can start, how do you put zis, hanging out?" smiled Jennifer.
Just then Ginny came in. She was dripping wet from the swimming pool making her curves show and her face seemed to sparkle from the rays of the sun.
"Malfoy?" she asked in surprise. She hadn't been expecting him to be here. Then her eyes landed on Jennifer and she smiled warmly at her, but Jennifer gave her an angry glare and looked away.
"Why if it isn't Weasley. Come on." said Draco quickly as he grabbed Ginny's arm and dragged her upstairs.
Jennifer stared on in jealousy. 'So, he's interested in someone else, vell he won't be for long.' She thought.
"Where are you taking me Malfoy?" asked Ginny as she struggled to escape from his grasp. Soon, Draco stopped and let out a sigh of relief.
"What's going on Malfoy? Trying to make another one of your girlfriends jealous?" asked Ginny in anger. She hated the idea of being used in such a way.
"She's not my girlfriend. Not even you could make me so annoyed." Growled Draco, having to explain himself.
Ginny ignored the comment. "What are you doing here anyways Malfoy?" she asked.
"I come here every summer Weasley. Plus my father owns this place." Answered Draco lazily.
"I'm surprised he hasn't named anything here after you already." Said Ginny.
"He has." Said Draco.
"Like what?" asked Ginny in disbelief.
"Check the menu." Smirked Draco.
"Whatever. I'm leaving. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are waiting for me. I promised I'd get them some drinks." Said Ginny as she turned to leave.
"What do they want to drink?" asked Draco.
"Why do you want to know? So you can poison them?" asked Ginny while rolling her eyes.
"Don't' ask Weasley, just answer." Said Draco.
"Harry said he just simply wanted a cup of lemonade, Ron wanted butterbeer and Hermione wanted sprite." Answered Ginny
"And you?" asked Draco.
"Same as Hermione." Answered Ginny while looking at Draco questioningly.
"Watch." Said Draco simply.
Draco turned and opened the door to his room, then grabbed something and came back out.
"Brumly?" he said into it.
"Yes sir? What would you like?" asked Brumly as a hologram of him appeared.
"One cup of lemonade, butterbeer, and two cups of sprite." Answered Draco.
"Right away sir." Said Brumly.
Then all of a sudden, the drinks just appeared on a tray floating in mid air.
"Anything else sir?" asked Brumly.
"No, that's all for now." Said Draco.
"Yes sir." Bowed the hologram of Brumly then disappeared.
Draco grabbed the tray and then threw the hologram speaker back onto his bed.
"Here." He said as he shoved the drinks into Ginny's hands.
"Thanks Malfoy. You know, you really aren't that bad." Smiled Ginny.
"Shut up Weasley. I didn't do it for you, it was just for the favor of not saying anything while I dragged you away in front of Jennifer." Said Draco.
Ginny smiled, "Whatever you say Malfoy."
Draco grumbled as he walked into his room and slammed the door.
Ginny smiled as she headed back down the stairs. When she got back into the swimming pool, Ron ran up to greet her. If you call what he did greeting.
"Ginny, my drink!" Said Ron as he grabbed his drink off the tray and drank it thirstily.
"That's one way to say thank you." Said Ginny glaring at her brother Ron.
Harry and Hermione walked up to her and each grabbed their own drinks.
"Thanks Ginny." They both said at the same time.
"Your welcome." She smiled.
"How'd you get the drinks so fast Ginny?" asked Hermione as she sat down on a table with Harry and Ron.
"Oh, it was just a fast service thing I guess. And I was the first one there." Lied Ginny.
"Well the people here are certainly rude." Complained Ron.
"Why would you say that?" asked Ginny.
"I just said to this guy who was in the changing room, 'Hey, get out and get me a snack O.K.? I'm feeling kinda hungry and I wouldn't mind the specials.' And he yelled 'Get the he*l away from me you ungrateful little runt!' Can you believe it! What kind of service is that?" said Ron angrily as he took a sip from his drink.
"Ron, that was a customer at this hotel. He doesn't work here." Said Harry.
"Oh, so that's why. Well, he still could've been more polite and told me." Said Ron.
"You said 'Get out' why would he go do a thing like that?" asked Hermione in disbelief.
Just then, Jennifer came walking into the swimming pool.
"Hey, who's that?" asked Ron who was practically drooling.
"Her name is Jennifer." Answered Ginny.
"How'd you know that?" asked Harry.
"We sort of met when I was getting the drinks." Answered Ginny.
"So are you friends?" asked Hermione.
"Sort of." Answered Ginny.
"Then you can introduce her to Ron. I think he'd like that. Look at the way he's starring at her." Laughed Harry.
Ginny blushed, and joined in laughing with Hermione.
"What's so funny?" asked Ron as he snapped back into reality.
"I don't think so Harry. He hasn't been very nice to me, why would I want to do him such a favor?" smiled Ginny.
Hermione and Harry nodded in understanding.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ron in confusion.
"Nothing." Answered Hermione.
"Come on!" yelled Ron.
Jennifer looked over at them, but Ron didn't notice, no one did. So she went back to swimming.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Said Ginny.
"Fine! Be that way!" said Ron angrily.
"I'm going to take a shower, I'll meet you guys later." Smiled Ginny as she got up and stared heading out.
"Bye." Said Harry and Hermione, as Ron groaned in annoyance.
Ginny went into her brother's room and found Charlie sitting on his bed reading a book on dragons.
"Hey, Charlie? Where are my stuff?" asked Ginny.
"I put it in your room." Answered Charlie.
"Could I get the keys?" asked Ginny.
Charlie tossed her keys to her without taking his eyes off the page he was reading and Ginny caught it and left the room quietly.
She unlocked the door to her room and grabbed some clothes out of one of her bags. She had decided to bring some muggle clothes so that she wouldn't stick out so much.
'Maybe Malfoy should wear some muggle clothes too. I wonder what his reaction would be if I bought him one. What am I thinking about Malfoy for? Harry's the one for me, isn't he?' thought Ginny as she tried to push the thought out of her mind.
She quickly exited her room and locked the door behind her, and then she headed to the nearest shower on the second floor.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"If I never see Jennifer again, it'd be too soon." Said Draco as he slumped onto his bed. But he knew he would, cause by the way she was acting, it was obvious what kind of girl she was.
Draco got up and sighed. There were a million things he could do, but he had done pretty much all of it. Unless he went out of the hotel's ground, but that would mean unthinkable punishment from his father, since he's father didn't permit it.
Draco opened the door out of his room and walked back out to the hallway. It was still bright out. It had only been ten minutes, but it seemed like hours to Draco.
Draco went over to the closest washroom on the second floor, not looking where he was going, or caring and then opened the door to the washroom, just to hear the loudest scream he had ever heard. He quickly closed the door. He wiped his forehead and realized he was sweating up.
It was Ginny. She was inside taking a shower, but it was a good thing Draco shut the door immediately, cause he didn't see anything.
Just then, he heard people coming and he quickly apparated back into his room unnoticed.
The Weasley family, Harry and Hermione were all standing outside the door where the scream was heard.
"Ginny! Is that you?!" yelled Charlie worriedly.
"Yes! I'll be out in a second!" she yelled back.
A few minutes later, she came out of the washroom dressed in a midnight blue tank top with white straps, and tight jean shorts up to her knees.
"What happened Ginny? Are you all right?" asked Bill.
"Why did you scream?" asked Percy.
"Someone… someone walked in on me." Stammered Ginny, while starring at Harry.
Everyone turned to look at Harry.
"It wasn't me." Said Harry quickly.
"He was with us the whole time." Said Ron.
"Then who was it Ginny?" asked Fred.
"I'm going to pound whoever did this to our little sister." Said George angrily as he pounded his fist into the palm of his hand.
"I didn't see." Answered Ginny.
Her face was flushed from embarrassment, and her hair was still soaking wet. She had tears in her eyes and she was clutching her heart. She almost had a heart attack.
"Are you all right?" asked Hermione as she put an arm on Ginny's shoulder.
"I will be." Said Ginny quietly as she walked back into her room silently.
Her brothers, Harry and Hermione watched her walk off, worried and silent. They weren't sure if they should go in and talk to her, or stay put and leave her alone.
"Harry, why don't you go talk to her?" asked Charlie.
"Why me? I don't know what to say." Asked Harry.
"Everyone knows she fancy you." Said Percy.
Everyone nodded.
"All right." Sighed Harry as he knocked on her door.
"Come in." answered the soft voice timidly.
Harry walked into the room and sat next to Ginny on her bed.
"You O.K. Ginny?" he asked.
"Yea." Lied Ginny.
"Really?" asked Harry raising an eyebrow in disbelief.
Ginny looked up at him and tried to smile, but she couldn't, so she looked down and shook her head.
"So what do you want to do about it?" asked Harry.
"What can I do about it? I didn't see who it was." Said Ginny.
"Your brothers are really worried about you. Even Ron." Said Harry.
"I know." Said Ginny.
They both went silent, not knowing what to say anymore.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What's going on in there?" asked Ron who was leaning on his brothers.
"You guys really shouldn't be spying on her." Scolded Hermione.
"Come on Hermione, don't tell me you don't want to listen in on them as well." Said Ron.
"Shut up the two of you. We can't hear anything." Hissed George.
"There are no more noises. Do you think they know we're listening in one them?" asked Fred.
"No way. Unless Harry told her, but I doubt it. He doesn't even know." Said Bill.
"But he could guess what our actions would be." Said Charlie.
"But do you think he's in a position to think about us right now?" asked Bill.
"I guess you're right." Agreed Charlie.
"We won't hear a thing if you all keep talking." Hissed Percy.
"Chill Percy." Said Bill.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry started to get up, "So… Ginny, are you hiding something from us?" asked Harry.
"What do you mean Harry?" asked Ginny.
"Well, you seem as if there's something you're hiding from us." Said Harry.
"Well… I did meet someone here." Said Ginny unsure if she should say anything.
"And?" asked Harry.
Ginny grabbed her one of her pillows and hugged it tightly. "Well… Harry, I…" started Ginny not wanting to continue.
"O.K. Ginny, it's O.K. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Just that, if anything comes up, and you need us, well, we'll be there." Smiled Harry slightly.
"I know, thanks." Smiled Ginny timidly.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you alone now then." Said Harry as he headed toward the door.
Ginny got up to open it for him, and when she did, her brothers all came tumbling in.
"Uh… nice room?" laughed Fred nervously.
"Guys?" said Ginny glaring at them.
"We were just admiring… your front door?" said Fred getting up.
"You were spying on me." Said Ginny.
"We were worried about you." Said Charlie.
"I know, but you could've just come up to me and say so." Said Ginny.
They all looked at each other, except for Harry and Hermione and then turned back to look at her.
"We can?" they said in union.
"Yes." Laughed Ginny.
Everyone smiled and left. The only ones left were Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"So do you want to go into the sauna?" asked Hermione.
"No, it's alright. I'll just stay here for a while." Smiled Ginny.
"Alright, but if anything happens, just scream." Said Harry.
"I will." Said Ginny.
"O.K. then we'll get going now." Said Hermione as they left.
"Bye." Smiled Ginny as she closed her door and jumped onto her bed and grabbed her diary from under the pillow.
She quickly got out a quill and opened her diary and quickly wrote down:
Dear Diary,
We finally made it to the Five Star Brumly Hotel Harry really cared about me! I can't believe it. He was so caring. I saw Malfoy when I was getting the drinks for Ron, Hermione and Harry. He was actually pretty nice. He got the drinks for me and there was this girl with him. Ron's drooling all over her, as usual. Well, got to go, I want to take a quick stroll in the gardens before lunch.
Ginny
Ginny quickly closed her diary and hid it back under her pillow and put her quill away, then got her summer vest and put it on. After, she headed outside.
When she got there, she sat on a bench and stared at the beautiful scenery by the peaceful lake.
The sun's rays shone threw the tall rose bushes and beautiful daffodils, as the soft breezes gracefully teased the daisies and tulips of all colors. The clouds seemed to stop at the very sight of such beauty and even the butterflies took their places among the flowers. The tall towering trees provided shade while blooming with blossoms of their own, where the violets grew peacefully and undisturbed.
"Beautiful isn't it?" asked a sudden voice, interrupting Ginny's thoughts and daze.
"Huh?" she said as she turned to see who it was.
"Malfoy?" she said.
"Surprised to see me already are we, Weasley?" smirked Draco. His eyes were darker than usual, as if he was hiding something, but not willing to show or tell it.
"What do you want?" asked Ginny not meaning to sound rude.
"Aren't we a bit grumpy?" said Draco through clenched teeth.
"What are you doing here? Don't' you hate sceneries like this?" asked Ginny.
"I do, but it's the place I usually whined up when I'm bored, which is always." Draco smirked.
"Are you going to join the rest of us for lunch?" asked Ginny.
"No, I wouldn't be caught dead with a Weasley." Said Draco.
"You are now aren't you?" asked Ginny with a smile of triumph spreading across her face.
"But I'm not eating with you, or otherwise." Said Draco.
Ginny diverted her gaze back to the garden, "Then won't you be hungry?" she asked without looking at him.
"Are you worried about me?" said Draco with a tint of amusement in his voice.
"No, I'm just wondering." Said Ginny quickly.
"No, Brumly will bring it up. Besides, if I eat with you, I'll end up eating with Jennifer." Said Draco.
They stayed silent in each other's presence for a while until,
"Ginny! It's lunchtime and…" yelled Ron but stopped abruptly when he saw Draco.
"What are you doing here Malfoy?" he growled.
"My father owns this place. And what is your excuse Weasley?" sneered Draco.
"My father had some business thing with the ministry so we came here for vacation." Said Ron.
"Couldn't afford it on your own could you?" Draco smirked.
"Shut up Malfoy. I bet you're the one who walked in on Ginny." Snapped Ron.
Draco went pale as the smirk disappeared from his face.
"Ron!" Ginny hissed in embarrassment.
"What are you talking about Weasley?" said Draco in a dangerous voice.
"Who else would've walked in on Ginny?" said Ron.
"Ron!" hissed Ginny again as she quickly got up and grabbed Ron's arm.
"Be quiet!" she hissed into his ear as she dragged him away.
"But Ginny, he could have been-" started Ron angrily.
"It wasn't him, it couldn't have been." Said Ginny stubbornly.
"Why not?" asked Ron sternly.
"Never mind." Said Ginny.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What's taking Ron so long just to get Ginny, I just saw her in the garden a second ago." Said Hermione.
"Don't worry about it." Said Harry.
"Let's just order first, let's see what's on the menu." Said Fred hungrily.
"No way!" said Bill in disbelief all of a sudden.
"What is it?" asked Charlie.
"Turn to page 15 of the menu." Said Bill.
Everyone turned to page 15 and gasped.
"Do you think it's poisoned?" asked George.
"No, that'd only make them loose customers." Said Bill.
"Well, do you think he paid the employers to name it after them?" asked Percy.
"Why would he just do that for food? My guess is the Malfoy's own this hotel." Said Bill.
"Oh, just great." Said Fred in sarcasm.
"It's not that bad. Let me see." Said Ginny as she reached her spot next to Harry and Bill.
"Ginny, what took you so long?" asked Hermione.
"Hermione was really worried about you." Said Harry.
"Malfoy was there." Said Ron angrily.
"You're kidding right?" said Harry in disbelief.
"Do I look like I'm kidding around?! I'm serious! He's out there." Growled Ron in anger.
"Calm down Ron. I'm sure if you leave him alone he'll le-" started Hermione.
"No he won't! He's a Malfoy! Born to make everyone's lives miserable. That's his only purpose." Ron interrupted.
"We all know you hate him Ron, but you don't have to be so harsh about it." Said Percy.
Just then, Jennifer walked in.
"Um… Is Draco Malfoy here?" she asked.
Ron growled in jealousy. "No, not right now, but maybe you'd like to eat with us. Oh by the way, my name is Ron Weasley." Said Ron.
Fred and George snickered. "He's so corny." Whispered Fred.
"I quite agree." Said George trying to hold onto his laughter.
Jennifer glanced around and saw Ginny. "My name is Jennifer Beaux. I'll just eat here until Draco Malfoy comes." She said quickly as she took a seat at the table, next to Ron.
"He's not coming." Smiled Ginny.
"I don't zink I can trust you on zat." Said Jennifer.
George and Fred stopped laughing immediately and glared at Jennifer angrily.
"It's alright." Said Ginny looking at her two brothers. "See for yourself if he comes."
"I zink I will." Said Jennifer as she opened her menu.
"What will you be having Jennifer?" asked Ron.
"I zink I will have ze Draco Malfoy soup special." Smiled Jennifer putting down her menu.
"Oh, and you Harry?" asked Ron trying to smile politely.
"Oh, I think I'll just have the same as Hermione." Answered Harry.
"And I'll be having slug soup." Smiled Hermione.
Harry looked over at her like she was crazy, and gulped nervously.
"I'm just kidding Harry. I'll have the special." smiled Hermione.
"Who would have guess Hermione of all people, would actually have a sense of humor." Said Ron in amusement.
Hermione ignored his comment.
"What will you have Ginny?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, What will you have?" asked Jennifer seeming interested all of a sudden.
"I think I'll just have the same as Harry and Hermione." Smiled Ginny. "You Bill?" asked Ginny.
"I'll have to think it through some more." Answered Bill.
"We'll have this and this and this." Said George and Fred at the same time while pointing to the menu.
"Do you even know what that is?" asked Ginny.
"No, but we're going to try it anyways." Smiled Fred.
"Wow, you guys are brave." Laughed Charlie.
"We sure are." Smiled George.
"What's wrong with you Percy, you've been pretty quiet. You haven't even been lecturing Fred and George on their table manners, like no elbows on the table." Said Bill.
"Hey!" said Fred and George in union.
"No offence." Smiled Bill.
"None taken." Said George.
"The ministry just wrote by owl, I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow." Said Percy.
"Yes!" yelled Fred and George as the high fived each other.
"For what?" asked Charlie.
"It confidential, I can't tell you. Sorry." Said Percy in an important sort of voice.
"No, that's quite alright." Smiled Charlie.
"So what are you going to do in the mean time?" asked Harry.
"I'll probably be packing up and working on some paper work." Sighed Percy.
"What's wrong Percy? I thought you loved working." Smirked Fred as George snickered.
"Shut up Fred!" snapped Percy.
"Madams and sirs, have you decided what to order yet?" asked a waiter.
"Yes, we're pretty much done." Said Hermione.
"We will have this, this and this, and three specials, one Draco Malfoy soup special and Charlie?" asked Ginny.
"Oh, I'll just have the Popbottled nose dish, with butterbeer thanks." Answered Charlie.
"I'll have some water and a nice turkey sandwich. Thank you." Said Percy.
"And I'll, hmmm… have the dino-burger." Said Bill.
"I'll have Ginfernoodle and butterbeer please." Said Ron.
"I heard ze Ginfernoddle is very spicy and it'z hard to handle." Said Jennifer.
"I ate it when I was only one years old cause of Fred and George. They told me it tasted like chocolate, but I'm used to it now." Said Ron.
Fred and George burst out in laughter.
"Wow, you are very brave non?" said Jennifer.
"Yea, I'm am. I laugh at the face of danger." Smiled Ron.
"And hide under your bed." Laughed Ginny.
"Wha… what are you talking about?" asked Ron angrily.
"Remember when you were five? Fred and George made you believe there was a monster in your room after you every time you're alone. You wouldn't get out from under their bed for weeks." Laughed Ginny.
"We know. We regretted telling him that after. He wouldn't come out from under my bed." Groaned George.
"I know, we didn't get to do any prank planning in our room for weeks." Agreed Fred.
"Here you are. Just what you ordered." Said the waiter bringing the food.
"Thank you." Smiled Harry as the waiter walked away.
"Let's eat then." Said Hermione.
"Hmmm… this is great! What is it made out of anyways?" asked George.
Hermione raised her hand up into the air and the waiter came back.
"Yes miss?" he asked.
"What is that made out of?" asked Hermione pointing to George's dish.
"That is made out of slugs and bits of lettuce and crushed up octopus tentacles, with a bit of dragon dung for the final touch and a fair mixture of salt." Answered the waiter.
George all of a sudden turned a pale white and then green. He quickly put his hand over his mouth and murmured quickly, "Excuse me."
Everyone burst out in laughter.
"And what's this? It tastes awesome!" smiled Fred.
"It's chicken wings with a touch of vinegar and garlic isn't it?" asked Fred.
"Close sir. It's shark fins with hunch spice and garlic." Answered the waiter.
"Well, that ain't so bad." Smiled Fred.
"Uh, Fred?" said Bill.
"Yea?" Asked Fred.
"You're allergic to hunch spice." Laughed Bill.
"Excuse me." Said Fred as he ran off to the washroom as well.
"That's why I never order something I don't know what it is." Said Percy.
"But if you don't try, how will you know if it tastes good or not?" said Hermione.
"Where's Draco Malfoy?" asked Jennifer all of a sudden.
"Like I said before, he's not coming." Said Ginny.
"Vell zen, I have no point of being here. I'll be going." Said Jennifer getting up.
"Wait Jennifer, aren't you at least going to finish your Draco Malfoy soup special?" asked Ron.
"I'm not very hungry, zank you." Said Jennifer simply.
"Then let me walk you to your room." Said Ron.
"I'm not going to my room." Said Jennifer.
"Then where ever. I don't have anything to do right now." Said Ron quickly.
"Very vell. Might as vell go to my room, you can help me unpack." Said Jennifer as she turned around and started heading toward the entrance where the closest stairs were.
Ron got up and walked after her.
"Ron must really like her." Said Harry.
"He likes all veela's." said Charlie.
"It's true." Laughed Bill.
"But what about Lavender? I thought he liked her." Said Hermione.
"That's what I thought too." Said Harry.
"They haven't seen each other since last year, when she went to visit one of her relatives. I think he's gotten over her already." Said Ginny.
"What about Lavender? She really liked him, though I really do wonder why she'd ever like a guy like Ron." Said Hermione sadly.
"Must be the old Weasley charm right Percy?" laughed Bill.
Percy smiled and took a bit out of his lunch, while gazing out the window.
"What's wrong Percy?" asked Ginny.
"Huh? Oh nothing. The ministry really needs me, or at least the new minister said he could really use my help. I told him I was supposed to take care of you guys. I told him I'd be there the day after tomorrow, but I think I should really be there right now. " Said Percy.
"Then go." said Harry.
"I can't. What about George and Fred, you know they're big trouble makers." Said Percy.
"We'll take care of them." Smiled Charlie.
"Thanks, then I guess I'll get going." Smiled Percy thankfully as he got up from his seat and ran back to his room happily.
"Of course I'm leaving the day after the day after tomorrow." Said Bill.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Smiled Charlie.
"Thanks." smiled Bill.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco was standing behind the doorway, listening in on Ginny and everyone, while they ate. 'It's a good thing I didn't eat here this time then.' thought Draco.
He quickly turned and walked toward the lounge as soon as he saw Jennifer and Ron heading his way.
"Vell Ron Veasley, would you get me some... how do you put zis in a nice vay, uh... some space? I really don't vant to be caught vith you ven Draco Malfoy is around, which I believe is very soon. Since I know I can be quite... good to look at. Do you know, zat I vork as a part time model? I prefer to be sharing vith others who don't have my beauty." smiled Jennifer.
Ron looked at her in disgust. 'Man, does she only care about herself or what? I always get myself attracted to these types of people don't I? Well, she's not my type. I wonder what I should to tell her. Maybe to say I'm not attracted to her. Naw.' thought Ron, knowing that she probably didn't care, but the urge to pop her ego was just irresistible.
"Ron? Can you hear me? Stand over zere will you?" asked Jennifer again while pointing about a meter away from her.
"Why?" asked Ron.
"Vell, I really vouldn't vant to be caught dead vith you vould I?" said Jennifer.
"Look, um... you're uh... nice? And everything, but I'm not attracted to you, so it'd be real nice if you didn't treat me like trash." said Ron staring at Jennifer, waiting for her reaction.
Jennifer stared at Ron in shock.
"Vell, I'm very sure zat you didn't mean zat. You are forgiven. You'll see soon enough how beautiful I really am, and you von't be able to resist." smiled Jennifer.
"I already have a girlfriend," said Ron, whom was getting rather annoyed at how highly Jennifer thought of herself.
"And vhere is she?" asked Jennifer in disbelief that anyone would like Ron.
"She's of somewhere visiting a relative," said Ron sadly.
"Right, zat's vhat they all say. Give it up Ron Veasley, you vouldn't get one in a million years." said Jennifer with a delicate hand movement to push him to the side. She then got out a tissue and wiped her hands, as if Ron had dangerous germs on him.
"Excuse me, but I think I'll just be leaving now," said Ron angrily.
"But vhat about my bags?" asked Jennifer in shock.
"I guess you'll have to do it yourself. Hope you don't break one of your delicate nails." growled Ron as he stomped back to the place where Ginny and everyone was.
"Very vell zen. I don't need you; I can get someone else to do it for me. Vhere's Draco Malfoy anyvays?" said Jennifer looking around.
"Even if he were here, he wouldn't help you. I almost feel sorry for him, having to deal with a girl like you. Almost." said Ron before he disappeared behind a wall.
"Fine, who needs him anyvays." said Jennifer angrily. No guy had ever done that to her before, and she didn't quite like it either.
Draco smirked seeing the sight of Ron, actually turning down a veela, not that he'd blame him for doing so though.
"Draco!" squealed Jennifer all of a sudden.
Draco turned around and saw her running toward him, 'I've been spotted! Damn! I better get out of here then.' thought Draco as he started running.
"Draco! Vere are you going? I need your help!" yelled Jennifer as she came to a halt.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"That girl is nothing but trouble." Sighed Ron as he walked back to his seat at the table.
"Hey Ron, how'd it go with Jennifer?" asked Harry.
"Poorly probably. He's the corniest guy I know." laughed Bill.
"Shut up Bill! She's the worst person I have ever met," growled Ron angrily as he stuffed his face with Ginfernoodle.
"I never liked her," said Hermione.
"Aww, Hermione. Give her a chance, I'm sure that if you do, you'll like her." teased Ron, in the voice Hermione use to lecture Harry and him in.
"Be quiet Ron. You don't know the first thing about her. You should talk," said Hermione.
"Hey, you think we should go check on Percy before he leaves?" asked Harry.
"Yea, I guess we should," said Charlie thoughtfully.
"Then let's go." said Bill as he got up and walked toward the nearest stairs.
Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Charlie got up and followed Bill.
When they got to Percy's room, the door was wide open and everything was already empty. They stepped into the now empty room and looked around.
Harry's eyes soon landed on a note lying on the bed table and picked it up.
"Hey you guys, look here," said Harry. Everyone walked over to him and peered over his shoulder at the note.
"What does it say?" asked Bill.
Dear family and friends, not including George and Fred,
I decided to leave immediately instead of waiting any longer. Bill and Charlie have agreed to taking care of the two big troublemakers, and I was going to leave tonight, but I couldn't hold it any longer. I need to be there, and I'm sure you all understand. By the way, Bill, there's another engagement you must attend. I found a note in your room while I was getting my wand, and I fell upon the note. It said that you are needed at the Gringotts right away, so I guess Charlie will be stuck with the two troublemakers instead. You must arrive there by midnight tonight. I'm sure you'll read this note before then, and as for you Charlie, I'd like to wish you the best of luck. Remember to teach George and Fred a lesson if they get out of hand, I would have loved to do it myself, but you know I need to be somewhere. Good day to all of you.
With love,
Percy Weasley
Former Head Boy of Gryffindor, was a prefect and works for the ministry at the moment.
"That's Percy alright. Only he'd write something as stupid as that at the end." said Ron, rolling his eyes.
"Wait, there's something else here." said Harry as he looked down to the bottom of the parchment.
I'd like to add, Ron, it's not stupid. You're probably just jealous about my achievements. I like to bring honor to the Weasley's family name, so you better ass well. Look at me. I'm a perfect role model.
"No, he brings a lot of pain and agony to the Weasley name. We'll be known as the most workful wizarding family in all of London, not to mention boring." sighed Ron.
"Well, I rather quite agree with your Brother Ron. Why can't you be more like him?" asked Hermione.
"Hermione, if more people were like him, we'd be extinct by now," said Ron as he left the room.
"Well, I guess I should start packing. Sorry I couldn't stay any longer," said Bill.
"No problem." smiled Charlie as Bill walked away to his room.
"So what do you want to do now?" asked Hermione when everyone left but Harry.
"I don't know. You want to go get some ice cream at the amusement park a few blocks from here?" asked Harry.
"Sure, why not?" smiled Hermione as she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room.
Harry smiled as he was dragged away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you feeling better now Fred?" asked George leaning against the washroom door.
"I've been better," said Fred as he vomited some more.
Then he got up and flushed the toilet, but then he saw a silver object swirling around the green vomit.
"What's that?" asked Fred pointing at it.
"I don't know," said George as he walked over, but then something fell out of his pocket and mixed up with the silver object. The water started turning from green, to purple, to a bright golden yellow to black, then to pink as the water vomit went down the drain. Fred made a useless attempt to grab the object, but failed.
"What was that?" said George.
"I don't know, but we've got to find it! It could be used for millions of pranks! Just imagine." said Fred dreamily.
"Uh, maybe you should wash your hands first," said George holding his nose.
"Oh, right." said Fred sheepishly as he went to the sink and washed his hands off.
"Let's leave and go back home then. We can search the underground water systems for it." said George.
"Great idea. But let's not tell anyone about this. It'll be our secret." smiled Fred slyly as George nodded in agreement with a smirk of triumph crossing his face.
They walked out of the washroom and ran up to Charlie's room.
"Hey Charlie, me and George have to… something came up and we have to do something." said Fred.
"And what would that be?" asked Charlie looking up at them questioningly.
"We can't say. It's a secret operation. So we'll be leaving, we just wanted you to know." answered George.
"Fine, whatever. Just don't cause any trouble where ever you're going alright?" asked Charlie.
"Us?" asked Fred with a hurt look on his face.
"Yes, the both of you." said Charlie.
"Don't worry, we won't." smiled George. 'Not yet anyways.' he thought.
"Fine, I guess you guys should start packing then?" asked Charlie.
"Bye!" waved George and Fred cheerfully as they quickly ran out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny sighed as she lay silently on her bed. She couldn't stop thinking about Jennifer.
'Why does she hate me so much?' thought Ginny sadly.
Just then, a knock on the door was heard and Ginny got up to open the door.
"Huh? What are you doing here?" asked Ginny in surprise.
