Draco Malfoy awoke to another glorious Hogwarts morning. After he
stretched and practiced various faces in the mirror (ew, it's Potter and
yes, of course, Professor Snape!) he started on his to-do list of the day.
He bit his lip, trying to think of things that a hot, popular, confident
yet modest boy would plan for the day.
After several minutes of thinking, he looked at his list.
Think of things to put on list See number 1 See number 2
It was an awfully short list. He decided to think of completely new and brilliant things to do. His list now read:
Think of things to put on list annoy Potter See number 1 suck up to Snape See number 2 Break Patty's heart Get a new girlfriend
Draco nodded. It was now a quite satisfactory list. There was only one problem with it-who should he choose to go out with now? He had broken so many hearts that he was left with only Harry and Ginny. He decided, after much thought, to go for Ginny.
"It'll be easy," he thought, smugly. "The girl obviously loves me- who doesn't!"
By the time breakfast was over, Draco had already done better than usual on completely number 1. He sucked up to Snape an extreme amount during potions, and then decided to finish number 3. He walked up to Patty. She giggled, then said, "Hey, hottie, what's up today with you?" "Not much, except that I think I'm far too good for you. Adios, oh inferior one!" She stared at him, eyes filling with tears.
Draco left, smiling so much it looked like he had two faces. Now all he had to do was go out with Ginny, and his day would be complete. He walked up to her.
"You are looking almost mediocre today, mini Weasel," Draco said. Ooh, he was getting GOOD at this complimenting stuff!
"Get lost, gel-head," said Ginny in a no-nonsense voice.
"Ooh, playing hard-to-get now, are you? Well, that's ok! I still am able to forgive you. I shall see you later, dear mini Weasel."
Ginny glared at his back. She hated him so much! Why did he always have to be so.so.conceited? Harry was conceited, but it somehow didn't annoy her. It must have been that Draco was a rare specimen, a perfect example of How Not to Get a Girl. Oh well, she could just avoid him, quite easily actually.
Draco had to put some thought into how to win over Ginny. He didn't know whether to use his natural charm, his quaint English manners, or his amazing looks. He decided to concentrate on the last one. He got out his enormous make-up bag and started looking inside.
"Mascara? No, too feminine. I want Ginny to see how gorgeously masculine I am. Lip-gloss? Hmmm, maybe a little." He dabbed on a bit of poison berry scented tinted gloss. He thought it gave him a little something else, something that made him seem even more unattainable than before. That would make Ginny want him more than ever!
After going through the rest of his bag and discarding or using the make-up, Draco decided to get Ginny again.
He searched for Ginny for about an hour before located her hiding under a stairwell.
"What are you doing down there, stupid?" Draco asked, adopting what he believed was his very sexiest smirk. "I'll help you up, don't worry."
Ginny shook her head and bolted. Draco stood there for a while, wondering what went wrong. He had done everything right, after all-perfect manners, wonderful attitude, and of course, looks looks looks! Oh well, it was getting late. He would try again tomorrow.
