Hello everybody, before you guys start reading I have a couple of things to say. First of all, this is not my first fic ever but it is my first D/G fic. Second, this story was inspired by a book called Nobody's Baby But Mine written by one of my all time favorite authors Susan Elizabeth Phillips, but at the same time this fic is nothing like it, the two have very little in common. The plot is totally different and the only similarity is in the first chapter, this chapter. Third, we all know that the Harry Potter universe and characters like Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini (who is a girl in my fic), and Ginny Weasley don't belong to me (although I sure would like to own Draco Malfoy. Yummy!), they belong to J.K Rowling.
Well, that's pretty much it. Read it and then tell me what you think.
"Let me get this straight," said Blaise Zabini. "You guys want to give Draco Malfoy a girl as a birthday present."
The three slytherins, who were also her fellow 7th years, nodded simultaneously. It was a windy November evening and the four of them were in The Three Broomsticks having a round of drinks.
Blaise shook her head. "You guys have come up with some pretty crazy ideas before but this one takes home the trophy." She said.
"We figure that since he's turning eighteen, we should give him something extra special." Theodore Nott said.
Blaise raised a perfectly arched eyebrow that was several shades darker than her brassy blond hair.
"Something to make it one birthday he'll never forget." Vincent Crabbe added.
"Bull." Blaise said. While Draco Malfoy, popularly known as the ''Dragon'', was probably one of the best Quidditch players in all of Hogwarts and definitely the strongest sexiest heartthrob in all of Hogwarts, he was also demanding, temperamental, and generally impossible to get along with. And for some reason, he had been even worse this year. At first it had everybody confused, especially the other slytherins but slowly, bit by bit the reason behind his extra hostility was uncovered. It turned out that his girlfriend of five months (a personal record for both of them) who was also four years his senior had dumped him right before the start of the school year, and if that wasn't insulting enough she had dumped him for a muggle. With something as humiliating as that happening, Blaise could understand why he was acting so aggressive, but even with that justification, the idea of somebody going out of their way to do something for the Dragon just for the hell of it, was laughable. "You guys think if you get him somebody to help him forget about Daisy he'll ease up on you."
Nott shrugged. "Sonovabitch's been kicking so much ass lately, nobody can stand him." He growled.
"And since we're all on the Quidditch team with him and he's the captain, we're around him 247." Gregory Goyle said.
"So you see we really need this to work out." Crabbe finished.
Blaise leaned back in her seat and nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, I know how you feel, but from what I've seen the Dragon already has more girlfriends than he knows what to do with."
"Draco doesn't give a damn about any of the girls that are hanging off his arm right now. I doubt he can even tell them apart." Nott said. "And besides rumor has it that he's not sleeping with any of them, that's how you know it's not serious."
"What?" Blaise said, surprised.
"Truth," Goyle said. "Turns out he's just using them for window dressing."
"Wow," Blaise said. "That's news to me. So there's been nobody in his life since Daisy?"
"Nope," Crabbe answered.
"Damn," Blaise said with an amused smirk. "I had no idea the Dragon could last that long without sex. I should go congratulate him."
"Not the smartest of choices," Nott said. "He'd probably hex you."
"I'd like to see him try." Blaise said, a hint of a challenge glinting in her cobalt blue eyes.
"Okay, maybe he wouldn't hex you like he would any body else," Nott said. "But then I'd think you'd have enough respect for him not to go rub it in his face."
"I suppose." Blaise said. Even though Draco and she weren't exactly what you'd call friends – the hardly ever talked, at least not without reason- but Blaise knew Draco was probably the only person in the whole school she could trust and would watch her back and vice versa. This was because they shared a special sort of bond since they came from the same backgrounds and usually understood each others' reasons for things they did when the rest of the world didn't and had a certain degree of respect for each other. "So what or should say who exactly are you looking for?"
"For starters she shouldn't remind him of Daisy." Crabbe said.
"That means she should be classy, not a brainless slut, like the girls he usually dates." Goyle said.
For somebody who had been often labeled as a brainless slut just because she was a blond, had a full bust and a tendency to dress in clothes that were a tad too revealing, Blaise took it as a personal insult. "So what are you looking for? Somebody that's a frigid prude and also a virgin? Maybe Granger would do." She said sarcastically.
"Not true and although the virgin part would be a nice touch, Granger would never do. Draco would rather die first, of course that's after he's killed us." Nott said with a thin smile. "We're looking for somebody different, classy and younger."
"Younger?" Blaise questioned.
"Younger than most of the girls or should I say women he dates." Nott explained. "Somebody more his own age."
"Oh yeah," Blaise smirked. "I can totally see the Dragon going for that."
The boys chose to ignore her comment even though they knew it was true. Draco had a bad habit of hooking up with women that were three to five years older than him, maybe even older. Blaise really couldn't say anything because she also preferred older men to the guys her own age. They were just too immature for her, she suspected that was also the reason why Draco didn't want to get serious about the girls in Hogwarts, most of them were airheads and those that weren't were geeks. It was extremely hard to find somebody in between.
"This is where you step in." Goyle said.
"Where I step in?" Blaise repeated. "Whoa, hold up. You want me to be the one- uh uh- hell no- you must be out of your mind."
"Blaise, chill." Nott said. "It's not you. We just want your help in finding her."
"Oh right," Blaise said, slightly embarrassed that she had reacted so strongly. "So you guys want somebody from Hogwarts?"
"Yeah, but nobody under sixteen and nobody over eighteen," Crabbe said.
"Okay, that leaves us with about fifty girls to choose." Blaise said. "This is going to take a long time."
"Actually we've already chosen somebody." Nott said.
"You have?" Blaise asked, shocked. "Who?"
"Virginia Weasley." Goyle said promptly.
"What?" Blaise said vehemently.
"Virginia Weasley." Crabbe repeated. "Gryffindor 6th year, red hair, an amazing pair of legs."
"I know who she is, you dimwit." Blaise snapped. "I just can't believe you chose her."
"What do you mean?" Nott said. "I think she's perfect for Draco."
"Well," Blaise mused. "I can see why you'd think that, she's pretty, has great taste in clothes, definitely cares about how she looks but at the same time she's smart, can think for herself, has a temper that's even worse than the Dragon's and doesn't put up with any crap. He'd see her as a challenge and you know how he loves challenges."
"Exactly why we chose her." Nott said with a nod.
"But there's one problem." Blaise said.
The three guys gave her blank looks.
"She'd never agree." Blaise said simply.
"What are you talking about?" Nott demanded. "Any girl would jump at the chance to give herself to Draco."
"I wouldn't." Blaise said.
"You know what I mean." Nott said sharply.
Blaise sighed. "Look, yes any girl would jump at the chance, just not Weasley." She said. "She has way too much dignity and self-respect to do a thing like that and besides she hates him."
"Huh?" Goyle said, scratching his head.
"Yeah, I don't get it either," Blaise said with a shrug. "But that's Weasley for you. The only thing that will happen when you guys ask her is she'll send you straight to the hospital wing or if she's already in a bad mood to St. Mungo's, so take my advice, don't ask."
"Oh, we weren't planning to ask her," Crabbe said.
"What were you planning to do then? Drug her, and then kidnap her?" Blaise said half sarcastically, half seriously. She wouldn't put it past them to do something like that.
"Of course not," said Nott hurriedly. "He just meant that we weren't going to be the ones who were going to do the asking."
"Then pray tell who is?" Blaise asked even thought she was sure she knew.
Nott stared at her pointedly.
"Moi?" Blaise said in mock surprise. "Well, I suppose I should've seen it coming. Why else would you guys voluntarily give me all this valuable information?"
"You're the only slytherin that's on good terms with the gryffindors." Nott said. "And you are more or less - how should I put it? - acquaintances with Weasley."
"More or less." Blaise replied dryly.
"And you're really good at the matchmaking stuff." Goyle added.
"True, true. All of these are good points, but you still haven't given me a good reason to talk to her." Blaise said.
Nott sighed; he knew this had been coming.
"In other words," Blaise continued. "What's in it for me?"
Nott sighed again. "How about this? You get us Weasley and I'll-" he paused for effect.
"Yes?" Blaise said expectantly.
"I'll hook you up with Wood." Nott finished.
"Wood? Oliver Wood?" Blaise asked just to make sure.
"The one and only." Nott said with a smug look on his face. "As I recall, a couple of months ago you were willing to do anything in order to get with him."
"I still am." Blaise answered.
"Then you'll get us Weasley?" Crabbe asked anxiously.
"You guarantee I'll get Wood?" Blaise said, studying Nott.
"On my honor." He said.
"You have no honor." Blaise said with a smile. She paused. "You better not be messing with me." She said, still staring fixedly at the three slytherins in front of her.
"We're not." Goyle said. "We know better than to mess with you."
Blaise slowly nodded. "Then we have a deal." She said.
"Fine." Nott said. "You sure you can get us Weasley?"
"Count on it." Blaise said before making her exit.
And so the plan was hatched, and the deal made, changing the lives of two unsuspecting people forever.
So???????? What did you guys think? Did you hate it, like it, love it? Does it have potential? Please review and tell me what you think.
