CHAPTER 1

This is about Ginny and Draco, and they're gradual procession toward friendly-ness. The road is humorous, and scary. All opinions welcome. REVISED.

Ginny had missed a Potions lesson last week and was forced to make it up. Snape, being the jerk he was, decided to put her in class that's a year ahead of her. "I am not the one who felt it necessary to miss this class. However I am the one that decides when and what class you make it up. Consider this next time you feel a bit woozy," Snape had said to her.

Ugh, another very long day awaited her. The pounding of her head matched that of the pounding of footsteps on the floor. "Oh, no" Ginny thought, "Potions."

Ginny's friend Mary had been chatting away at her side as they both walked to class. Apparently Mary's new boyfriend, Alex, had been acting distant or something like that. To tell the truth Ginny wasn't paying much attention. Not because she didn't care or anything, it was mostly because Mary's chatting somewhat resembled that of a squirrel and filled Ginny's mind of squirrels chatting about.

Mary had walked in front of Ginny so as to not get knocked down by a first year with a mission to not be late. Ginny chuckled. Mary had made it into Snape's classroom ahead of her and as Ginny approached the door the most annoying person in the world stood in her way.

"Excuse me," Ginny said through her teeth at the quite imposing figure in front of her.

"Oh, being nice, eh. That's not ganna move me Weasel." The boy replied.

"Shut up and move. D'ya think you can do that, or are you not multi-task?" Ginny replied with a smirk.

"I'm about as multi-tasked as they get, Ginerva." The boy had the other Slytherians laughing behind him due to the suggestive comment.

Ginny just stood there in utter disgust. Then Ginny decided to plow her way down into the class. But the boy didn't move. Mary noticed what was going on and helped Ginny.

"Why don't you just leave girls alone Malfoy." Mary yelled at him

"I am! You two are the ones touching me, not the other way around." Draco remarked still smiling at the struggling girls.

Just then Snape came out from his office and said, "Draco sit down please, Ginerva, Mary 10 points from Gryffindor for being late.

The girl's faces fell, but they didn't argue with Snape. Snape would never hear their side of the story. Ginny and Mary sat down together and took notes on the extremely hard potion that everyone would have to brew for their exam tomorrow. Fortunately the potion was so impossible Snape decided that two people should work on it together.

Of course Snape assigned the groups. Mary ended up with some weird kid whose eyes seemed to bulge out his head and Ginny's name was yet to be assigned. Ginny sat patiently and waited. It was fairly obvious whom Ginny was going to end up with.

"Unfortunately Draco, I must place you with Ginerva. Terribly sorry." Snape said with sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"No problem professor. I'll control her." Draco sat in his seat, and rubbed the chair next to him, making kissing sounds like one would for a dog. Ginny had to move and was completely embarrassed by this.

"Nobody can resist being called like a dog, can they Weasel." Draco said meanly.

"Shut up. Here is what you have to get for the potion. I'll get the rest got it?" Ginny said not waiting for an answer.

"Jeez, no need to get ugly Ginerva."

"Stop calling me that!" Ginny just hated the way he said her name. It disgusted her. It said it with sarcasm and sexual innuendoes lacing through it.

"Oh, you don't like being called..." Draco said low, and then leaned over and whispered in Ginny's ear "...Ginerva."

At that Ginny froze, and chills ran down her spine, Draco was becoming creepier by the second. Just then the class ended and Ginny dashed out of the room, she didn't even wait for Mary. Ginny wanted to be as far away from that place as possible.

In her rush she forgot her caldron. "Damn it" Ginny thought.

I've noticed that after this chapter I lose a lot of readers. I know this plot seems gossamer thin right now, but please, give this story a chance. All is not what it seems. Things get crazy, the plot thickens. The writing is, I know, kind of sucky but I wrote this back when I was 13 so give me a break. The quality of writing becomes exponentially higher as the chapters go on, I promise! Don't read the reviews for later chapters unless you want this all to be spoiled. Thank you for reading this, and thanks if you've decided to give this story a chance!
