5 Easy Steps To Get A Guy

Chapter 2

Putting the Plan into Action

Thirty minutes later Ginny couldn't even recognize herself. Jessica had taken it upon herself to give Ginny a complete makeover. Now Ginny wore a spring green skirt that came up to the middle of her thigh. She also had on a white button-up short sleeve shirt that was a bit tighter than she would have normally wore. Jessica had even lent her a pair of green pumps that as she put it made her look "sexy with some class".

Jess had also put Ginny's hair up in a high pony tail with a few wisps of her hair framing her face. Her make-up was simple but made her big brown eyes look spectacular.

"I look great, but I am not about to go down to dinner and be the only one to look different." said Ginny.

"Don't you remember what the magazine said? You need to stand out from the other girls. Anyway, Draco will only really be interested in a Gryffindor if they look better than anyone else. And don't worry, I'm wearing something similar so you won't be alone." said Jess as she pulled out her own outfit.

"Did I ever tell you that you're a life saver? I could never have done something like this by myself!" said Ginny. With a sigh she turned away from the mirror to face Jess.

She wore a white blouse just like Ginny's but her skirt and pumps were silver. She had left her hair down but added some gentle waves to it. Her make-up accented her gorgeous lips and long eye lashes.

"Wow! You look amazing!" exclaimed Ginny. It's a wonder she doesn't have a boyfriend. She thought.

"Thanks. I think we're all ready to go." said Jess.

"It's a good thing my brother doesn't go to school here anymore, he would probably kill me." said Ginny with a little laugh.

And with one last look in the mirror they sauntered out of the room both feeling like a million bucks.

­­­­­­­"Are you sure we should do this? Maybe we should just go and get changed?" asked Ginny as her and Jess stood outside the doors to the Great Hall. They were later than everyone else thanks to their lengthy makeovers. Ginny was starting to feel very scared and underdressed.

"No, we can do this! I mean there are girls that prance around in almost nothing and you're worried because your wearing a skirt that is 2 inches shorter than normal? Don't worry, we'll have the boys eating out of the palms of our hands!" said Jess confidently.

And with that she took Ginny's hand before she could do anything like run away and pulled her into the Great Hall.

When the doors opened everyone instinctively glanced over to see who was coming in so late. But instead of turning away and returning to their dinners most stared and gawked at the girls like they were aliens.

Ginny instantly wanted the floor to swallow her up but because it did not seem to want to comply she ran, which was more of a fast walk thank to the high heels, to the Gryffindor table and took a seat next to her other friends.

However, they too were looking at her and Jess.

"Hi guys. What's up?" asked Jess as if nothing was different from any other night.

"What the bloody hell are you two wearing?" Colin Creevey practically yelled, breaking out of the trance first.

"Oh, well, um… you know…" stuttered Ginny her face quickly turning a deep pink as she looked over to Jess for help.

"Don't you guys just love them? They are my own creation you know. My mom had this sewing machine that she never used so over the summer I thought I would make designing and creating clothes my new hobby. I made mine first and when I saw how fabulous it looked I needed to make another one." exclaimed Jess.

"I just really wanted to get to show everyone so I convinced Gin to wear one of them. Please don't make her feel bad, it was a major favor for me." finished Jess with a big smile on her face and pleading eyes.

Ginny was amazed that she could just sit there looking so calm as she came up with the lie on the spot.

"Well, I think they look really good, especially since you made them by yourself. Could you make me one in black or maybe red?" asked Stephanie Blaire.

Stephanie had come to Hogwarts from America in her third year and the three had become best friends. She was tall and had dirty blonde hair. She would have looked rather plain if it wasn't for her eyes which were different colors. Her left eye was a sky blue and her right was a bright green. She always hated that her eyes were different colors but Ginny secretly wished that she could have special eyes like hers.

"Of course I can make you one. I think that red would look nice this way all of our colors stand out. We could even wear them to the Ravenclaw party next Saturday. Maybe I can even design us matching shirts. We would be the talk of the party." said Jess excitedly.

Ginny was only half-listening to their conversation as she scanned the Slytherin table for Draco but she could not find him or even his right-hand man Blaise Zabini.

"I don't know, I still think they're a bit too short." commented Colin who had started acting more like her brother with each passing day.

Ginny was about to shoot back that he should mind his own business when she heard a drawling voice.

"I happen to disagree, Creevey, they look perfect to me." said Draco Malfoy who stood across the table from Ginny. He was actually smiling, not smirking or sneering, but smiling at her.

She instantly thought that she had died and gone to heaven. His looks could only be described as angelic. When he smiled his dimples showed and made him look a million times more friendly.

"I don't believe that I was talking to you, Malfoy." said Colin with a look of hatred on his face. "Now why don't you go and scam on some other girls and leave my friends alone."

"I think we'll let them decide that, don't you think so Draco?" asked none other than Blaise Zambini. He looked very different from the pale, blonde boy he was standing next to.

Blaise was good looking with his naturally tanned skin and dark brown hair and eyes. He was just as tall as Draco and stood in the same confident manner.

"I agree, Blaise. So, Red do you want us to leave?" asked Draco addressing Ginny.

She was caught off guard at the pet name but instantly placed a sweet smile on her face that would not betray how excited she was that he had even come over to the table.

"Well, that depends on what you want." replied Ginny.

"Just wanted to have a friendly chat. Do you ladies mind if we join you?" he asked, emphasizing that he didn't care what Colin wanted.

"I don't mind. Do you Jess?" Ginny asked looking at her for the first time since the two Slytherins had come over. To her surprise, Jessica was blushing a light red. With everyone looking at her she merely shook her head and looked down at her plate.

For the first time in the six years that Ginny had known her, Jessica was at a loss for words. She even seemed shy. This didn't make sense to Ginny since Jess had been able to talk to everyone and was never uncomfortable. It made her worry that something was wrong and was determined to get the answer until she looked over to find that Draco had taken the seat next to her.

Suddenly, all thoughts of Jessica were driven out of her mind and all she could concentrate on was how close their bodies were or how divine he smelled with his aftershave on.

"I apologize but I don't know your name love. What is it?" asked Blaise, who had taken the seat next to Jessica. He was looking at Jess and smiling quite charmingly.

"I'm Jessica Kling but most just call me Jess." she said quietly.

She looked up to find Blaise smiling and staring at her like she was the only girl in the room. Filled with a confidence she smiled back.

"This is Ginny Weasley in case you didn't already know." she said gesturing to Ginny.

"A Weasley? Really? I didn't know that weasels could look so good." he said with a smirk on his face.

Ginny wasn't really sure if he was joking or not and for that matter she didn't know if it was a compliment or an insult. Not sure how to react she looked to both Jess and Draco hoping that one of them would know how to respond.

It was Draco that responded first by laughing. His laugh sounded masculine and strong, which commanded the attention of others.

"Hey, she's a weaslette not a weasel, duh!" he said jokingly.

This seemed to break the ice and everyone started laughing though what about they weren't really sure. It was just a good way to break the awkwardness.

"I'd prefer Gin if you don't mind." she said with a little smile.

"Well, Gin and Jess, this has been fun but unfortunately Draco and I have to be going. We have to patrol the halls first tonight and I was hoping to drop off my stuff in our dorm before we go." said Blaise.

"That's ok but we should all hang out sometime. Maybe in Hogsmeade this weekend?" suggested Jess.

"Sure, sounds great. I'll owl you guys with were we can meet and what time. We'll bring some of our friends and you bring some of yours." said Draco.

"Cool." Ginny replied rather lamely though she couldn't think of anything else to say. She was sad that they had only been able to talk for such a short time and that she hadn't even said anything that interesting.

"Then, we'll see you later loves." said Blaise as he smiled at both girls but added a special wink at Jess.

And with that they both grabbed their things and headed away from the table and out the Great Hall doors.

"What was that about?" asked Colin with a look of pure loathing.

However, neither of the girls noticed this as they were both still smiling and staring at the doors the boys had just left through seconds before.
