Alice is Bleeding

Chapter One

Tutor Buddies :3

"What the bloody hell do you mean I'm tutoring?" Draco demanded.

Ginny sat on the nearest table, ignoring both of the men in the room. Snape spared her a glance in the vain hope that she might take pity on him and put him out of his misery. Ginny was doing no such thing. She rather liked freedom and saw no need to jepordize it by killing her teacher, even if he asked nicely.

Snape sighed and returned his attention to his prize student. Well, technically Ginny would be his prize student, seeing as she was a full year ahead of her class in potions, but just in case the irate blonde had learned how to mind read since there last encounter, Snape thought of Draco as his best pupil.

Draco had the ability to be very childish at times. Still there was the irrefutable fact... that he crushed on Ginny. Draco probably wasn't aware he did it, but did it he did.

Most of it was little things. Draco always taunted her more than the other girls in the school. True, Ginny was a Weasley. True, she was the only one who didn't respond to his taunts.

But it was true also that Ginny was remarkably attractive. From her crimson hair to her cinnamon freckles, Ginny Weasley was one of a kind. She wasn't as tall as Malfoy was but she was most definitly not a short one either. It was understandable that Draco would crush on her. She was smart as a whip too. She was easily top in her class and a prefect to boot.

Snape sighed and reverted his attention to Draco. "Yes, Mr Malfoy. YOu are tutoring."

"Which returns me to the question of why?" Draco reiterated.

Snape gestured to Ginny. "You and Miss Weasley are the best students in this particular feild. I would appreciate it if you could extend your knowledge to others less intellegent."

Draco pouted, like a little child and Snape barely resisted rolling his eyes. "I will not stoop to teaching some Gryffindor!"

Ginny, who had been sitting idly by, rose to the insult. "Might I remind you that there are other worse people who our esteemed professor could pair you with."

Draco sneered at her. "Like who?"

She shrugged. "Well, one could say you, but that would be a bit redundant. Still I think your father would be fitting punishment."

Draco flushed. "Take that back, Weasel." He growled.

She smirked and slid off the desk. Her hands found her hips and she cocked her head. She looked pretty, in her school uniform. Her hair was pulled back in her ususal pony tail, the occasional whisp escaping it. "Why, Malfoy? Does it hurt to hear your father's name dragged through the mud? Or does it hurt worse because that's who you're turning into?"

Draco glared at her. "I'm twice the man my father is." He snarled.

Ginny smiled. "Prove it." She said, turning from him to the door.

He crossed the room and grabbed her by her elbow, spinning her to face him. For a moment Snape seriously considered tripping one of them. If the two kids would just make out, they'd get a hell of a lot of their sexual frustration out of the way.

But they didn't and Snape let it be.

"How?" Draco demanded. He now had her pinned against the door jamb and they were dangerously close to each other.

She smiled, her mouth slightly open and Snape realized this was where she had wanted him all along. "Tutor someone." She whispered and slipped out of his arms and through the door.

Which was how, three days later, Draco Malfoy found himself dealing with Luna Lovegood.

A/N: Wow, another new fic. This one is my apology for disappearing for the past week on you guys like that. I was in Prague! Which is gorgeous! Everybody should go there! But I hope this makes up for it!
