Ginny opened her eyes and walked as fast as she could down the stairs. She
was late! "Cinderella!" Lavender was sitting on the chair in front of the
fireplace. She was obviously waiting for Ginny to paint her toenails. "I'm
sorry Lavender. I woke up a little la-" "I don't want any excuses this
time! Just do it."
Ginny, as much as she hated to do so, painted her toenails. "What color would you like Lavender?" she asked gently, taking out her wand.
"I'd like green please. Green to match my amazing dress robes. You do know that the Slytherins are having a ball next week right? To celebrate their victory against the Gryffindors. If you're a good little Weasley, I may let you borrow my brown robes that my mother bought me that I hate."
Ginny painted her toenails slowly, knowing that Lavender loved to move around when she was excited. Then she'd make Ginny do her nails all over again! Lavender gently pulled her fingers through Ginny's hair.
"My Cinderella, your hair does look like a mop... You must fix it in the morning. It's no wonder you get picked on the way you do." Ginny had the aching urge to shove the nail polish down her throat...
When Ginny was finished with her painting, she ran up the stairs to get dressed. She dressed in her tattered black dress robes. She was late! She hated being late...
As Ginny ran down the halls, she didn't notice a growing rip in her bag. Well, she didn't notice until she banged into the blonde haired gray eyed boy that made her fall backwards. Her bag ripped all the way and all of her books scattered to the floor.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..." She wouldn't look into his eyes. She rarely looked into anyone's eyes ever. People didn't like it when she looked at them, so she didn't anymore. She hurriedly picked up Malfoy's books before even thinking about her own. He was just looking at her.
"Have I met you before?" Ginny shook her head. "Probably not." She handed him his books, then went after her own. He continued to stare at her. She was remarkably pretty, even in her muddled uniform. "I'd better be going." And she rushed off.

In the middle of Potions class, Ginny dropped a bottle of something all over herself. She didn't even know what it was! It did, however, burn a hole straight through her robes. 'As if they aren't terrible enough already...' She ran to the Hospital wing before any points could be taken away from her house.
Madam Pompfrey knew Ginny all too well. She was always coming in with bruises from Lavender. When she saw her holey robes however, the woman just laughed. "I just saw a case exactly like this one." She nodded her head over toward the curtain separating one room from the other.
From what she could see with the shadows, it was a boy nursing his own arm.
"Sit in there with him and I'll be right in. Might as well kill two birds with one stone." Ginny walked through the curtain and saw the boy again. Draco Malfoy his name was. She knew that much yes.
She sat on the bed across from his and removed her robes. Under it she had on a blue tank top that Lavender's bust had outgrown. One problem was that outgrown or not, Ginny's bust was at least twice Lavenders size. She was practically falling out! That was one reason why Malfoy was staring.
It made her slightly self-conscious to know that this boy was just looking at her. But the other part of the reason why he was staring was of course because of her bruised, cut up arm.
She hadn't even remembered how bad her arms must've looked. She was too busy trying to hide the red that was creeping up from her neck to touch her pale as fresh fallen snow covered cheeks. She looked out the window.
"We meet again I suppose," Malfoy said, looking her up and down. She nodded. "I suppose we do." She was blushing again...
"What are you in here for?" he asked. She held up her robes. "I dropped something from Potions class all over myself. I'm a little bit klutzy." She looked down at herself. "Are you going to the Slytherin Ball next week?" he asked when she started rubbing her shoulders.
"Me? Oh, no I'm not. I'm not a Slytherin." He smiled. "I'm sure I could get you in. If you'd like to, I can take you myself."
Ginny looked up at him over her glasses. "Um, sure! I'd love to go!" Draco smiled. "Thanks. Um, what's your name?" he asked. She looked down, remembering what Lavender had always told her to say when people asked her that question.
"Cinderella."
Madam Pompfrey came in and with one swift move of her wand, both of their robes were as good as new. Ginny pulled them back on, and gave her a hug. "Thank you Madam Pompfrey." She smiled and hugged her hard, lifting her to spin around. "No problem Ginny."
Ginny jumped up and rushed out of the room. Malfoy looked at Madam Pompfrey. "What's her name?" he asked. The elder woman just looked at him. "Pardon me?" "I asked what her name was. She just told me, but I didn't quite catch it." She looked down at her hands. "Virginia. Virginia Weasley."

In the library, as Ginny did Lavender's homework, she felt as though someone was staring at her. She could have sworn that she felt someone staring at her... But who would want to look at her?
Lavender told her all the time that she was ugly, and she believed it! Nobody would want her. Never never never. She wrote as quickly as she could. She had her own homework to do and had no time for any more nonsense.
She stood up to leave, but when she got up, the entire table collapsed, causing her ink to drop all over Lavenders homework. Ginny stamped her foot. "Just my luck!" She picked up everything as quickly as she could. "Great. Now I'll never get my own work done!" She groaned and blotted it quickly with a tissue. That was when she saw him again.
"I know just the spell to help you with that." Malfoy took the papers gently from her hands. Tapping his wand against it, he whispered. "Lacorna Forona." The papers were as good as new!
Ginny was so happy, she couldn't stop herself and before she knew it, she was in his arms. "Thank you so much!" She was brought back to reality when he tightened his grip on her waist.
"Um..." Ginny gently pulled away, brushing her hair. Back. "Well, I'll see you next week!"
A/N Hi! What do you think? I know I should be writing my last chapter of "Did You?" but I had to start a new project! Well, I'm off to finish "Did You?"!
