Chapter 2
Nominations
Disclaimer: T'is not my belonging to me... only the Malfoy Island and the bingo turner!! lol * go me !* lol
Draco, being the cunningly smart person he is, earned nominations from all of his teachers who taught him that day. And because Ginny paid attention in class, she also earned some nominations, though only in her easy subjects.
Though today, Ginny had advanced potions with the seventh years – mostly of slytherins. ~How am I going to pull it off?~ she asked herself as she got dressed. As she looked around for pants, she realized she had put then in the laundry for cleaning. Instead, she pulled on a very short, pleated skirt that exposed much of her thighs. She also pulled on her Gryffindor gold top; she then looked into the mirror. Ginny cheerily started clapping, giving herself credit for her outfit. The gold top matched beautifully with her black lace - up knee boots and black skirt.
Ginny dragged a comb through her bouncy curls and peered in the mirror again. ~Presentable enough...~ with that thought, she left to her first class, potions, with her bag.
****************************************
Draco sat in his advanced potions class early because he had skipped breakfast to avoid Pansy. Just then, a curly red-haired girl slipped into the classroom. She looked around to find no teacher but an older student. She then chose a spot at the back and sat there. Draco gave her a once over. The girl had a nice body, he could also tell she was quite pretty too. Her curvy, never ending legs made him drool slightly. His gaze switched to her hair... Long tamed ringlets of red cascaded down her back. She had doe brown eyes, freckles, which lightly dusted the bridge of her nose and vibrant lips of cinnamon. He mentally summed it all up; only to realize she was a Weasly.
Draco mentally kicked himself. ~Despicable, Draco, checking out the enemy! ~ He averted his gaze from her back to his books. ~What is her name anyway?~
Ginny summoned her potions kit consciously. She had felt the boy's gaze give her a once over. The class slowly filled up. There were only 8 people in the class so far. Just then, another 2 people entered. Ginny lifted her head to see that the people were Hermione and Blaise. Ginny brightened slightly and waved Hermione over. The older girl smiled and sat beside Ginny at the back.
"Hey" Ginny said cheerfully. "Do you know if any other Gryffs will be in this class?"
"No... I don't think there are going to be more Gryffs. These people are mostly Slytherins and Ravenclaws."
"Oh-"
The door of the classroom swung open and the potions Master stepped into the room. "Settle down class!" Everyone halted their talking. "Danversion" Snape hissed, waving his wand. A seating plan appeared on the black board. "Please arrange yourselves in this order class... Because this class is small, I find it would be easier working in partners. That way you have each other to ask questions and not me." Snape paused, glaring at the class. "Well? What are you waiting for? MOVE!" he snapped.
Everyone looked up at the board and identified their seat in the room. Ginny ended up sitting at the front of the class, near the teacher's desk - unfortunately. She looked around and saw people still moving about. Ginny opened her books to that day's lesson. She then felt someone sit next to her. As she glanced at the person next to her, she nearly fell off the chair from horror. She looked at up at the board and saw that it wasn't a mistake. She had to sit next to Malfoy.
She let out an annoyed sigh and turned her head in the other direction. That caught Draco's attention and looked at his assigned desk partner. He growled and cursed under his breath.
"-Oh yes, I failed to mention that your desk buddy is your potions partner for the remaining year." Snape added, receiving load groans of despair from Draco and Ginny. Snape ignored their "complaints".
"Today, we will be brewing truth potions. The one potion you create is graded for both you and your partner. - Begin" Snape sat down at this desk, apparently writing a note.
She retrieved her ingredients from her kit, as did Draco. They both worked in dead silence, both doing their share of the potion. Ginny noticed that the process became a lot quicker working with him than her past potions partners. They were done in a matter of minutes; the potion simmering in the cauldron slightly.
"When everyone is finished, please put your potion in a vial and label it with you and your partner's name. You are dismissed after you do so." Snape drawled.
Ginny looked around to see no one even halfway done, including Hermione. –But that was probably due to her having to correct her Hufflepuff partner countless times. Draco bottled up a sample of the potion and marked their names on it. Ginny put away her ingredients while Draco his.
~This is going to be a long year!~ Ginny thought in boredom. She magically cleaned the cauldron and picked her bag. Draco also packed his stuff. They both reached for the vile at the same time, their hands brushing against each other's. Ginny looked down at their hands, which were frozen in mid- air. Ginny quickly withdrew her hand as if something burned it. She stood up straight and left out the door. Draco snatched up the vile disgustedly and glared after her. He gave the vial to the Professor.
"Ah, perfect potion as always... You and Miss Weasly both receive a nomination." Snape paused, speaking quietly, only allowing Draco to hear. Ginny had already left. "Please tell her Mr. Malfoy." Draco nodded and left the classroom.
(From Ginny walking out of the classroom)
Ginny went looking in her bag for something interesting and found her magical music player. She didn't even know she had even put it in her bag.
~Well, I have 25 minutes anyway- ~ Ginny thought as she slipped on her earphones. The "My love is like Whoa" song by Mya started to play. She remembered that summer at her muggle friend's house when they were dancing to this song. That made Ginny laugh. She turned the volume up on high, so it was blasting in her ears. She started down the hallways again, walking slowly. She didn't even notice the person approaching. She thought she was alone so she started to sing along with the music.
"What kind of girl you like, I know my looks can be deceivin'. Tell me am I your type, my main goal is to please you! What's on the schedule tonight, Am I the reason you'll be treatin'. I hope you have an appetite! So tell me will you come and spend the night?" She hummed the chorus. She was actually pretty good at singing Mya.
"Weasly-?"
"When will you come through? 'Cause I'll be waitin' up right here. Can you bring some Belvedere, So we can pop the cork and cheer? Please have no fear, I just wanna love you right, I hope you have an appetite," she sung the next part loudly. "So baby, will you come and spend the night!!"
"Wealsy!!" the person shouted, obviously not loud enough.
She sung to chorus in Mya's voice.
Draco's P.O.V ~Damn this Weasly! Doesn't she ever shut up?! Well, actually, the song is quit amusing, but I think this is getting rather annoying!~
Normal P.O.V "My body's like...Whoa! And you're kissin' it, So what you think of it? hold me, hold me, oh, my (Tasty) My (Tasty) my (hold me, oh, my) hold me (Tasty) Me (Tasty) my! Hold me like you never wanna let me go! If your like'n what your tastin' , ya-" she stopped singing as she felt the earphones slide off her ears.
"Yes Weasly, I'm sure your "whoa" in your mind, but Professor Snape wanted me to tell you you've got a nomination." Draco drawled- slightly annoyed.
Ginny blushed. "Oh... you didn't hear ever-"
"I did thanks." He stated in his monotone voice. He turned around to leave when he felt something tug on the back of his sleeve.
"Don't mention this to anyone, k?" Ginny pleaded quietly.
Draco smirked in amusement. "Of course not! Why would I tell anyone? It's not like anybody would be interested." His mock voice slightly shocked Ginny.
Ginny's eyes widened. "I'm serious Malfoy!" she moved in front of him.
"How nice." He said, giving her a look telling her to move- she didn't budge. "Why are you making such a big deal out of this Weasly?"
"I have a reputation you know!" she growled. Ginny was getting anxious and he could tell.
"You poor thing." He drawled. He glared down at her. Ginny's nerves were now on end. She grabbed his neck-tie and pulled it down in frustration. He was now at eye level with her.
"I'm not kidding Malfoy!" the annoyed gleam in her eye turned to frustrated anger. Draco glared at her once more and straightened up.
"If you would please move, I would like to-"
"NO!"
Draco rolled his eyes and grabbed her by the shoulders, pinning her against the wall. "I do not think you're in any position to make any threat." He hissed. Ginny's breath was caught in her chest because of Draco's pressing body. He smirked at her reaction, mouth moving towards her ear. "So Good Bye." His body on hers was quickly replaced with air as he left.
Ginny stared wide-eyed at the spot where he'd just filed and then shuddered in disgust. It wasn't because she was disgusted with HIM, oddly enough, she was disgusted with herself. She was actually enjoying being caught up in the moment. She mentally slapped herself.
~Gin, hun, you do not associate with Malfoys! If I wasn't part of your brain, I would disown you! ~ Ginny thought angrily at herself. She walked down the empty halls, not sure where she would go in her state of shock.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Afternoon Classes*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ginny was dazed for about the rest of the day. It was like an everlasting aftershock of something anyone could easily brush off. –Well, actually anyone could!- But Ginny... Stubbornness, shock and pride had to do with most of it.
It was dinnertime and Colin had to drag her from her thoughts to get her to move. Ginny had just realized the bell had sounded 15 minutes ago and that Colin was standing by the door impatiently, waiting for her to move.
She had also realized she and Colin were the only ones in their transfiguration class at the present moment. Even McGonagle had left.
"OH!... Sorry..." Ginny said startled and left with Colin out the door in a rush.
"So, did you hear?" Colin asked.
"Hear what?" Ginny replied curiously.
"They're choosing the 16 lucky people tonight!" Colin said.
Ginny's heart stopped- at least she thought it did...
"Come Colin, we have yet another mission!" Ginny dramatically stated. She ran her the way to the Gryffindor common room in a blink of an eye, Colin sprinting after her.
****************************************
Ginny sat in the Great Hall for the feast. She wouldn't miss the announcement for her life!
Dumbledor rose, waiting for the mass of students to sit. After a few moments, all eyes on him, he boomed out, "Ladies and Gentlemen of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, tonight is the night we shall determine our lucky vacationers!" Dumbledor paused and clapped his hands. A large bingo ball turner came flying into view, landing on the Head table. "Without further ado, Professor Flitwick- if you'd please..."
Professor Flitwick came stumbling forward and began turning to handle, jumping to turn it fully around. He handled the ball turner with difficulty but managed to produce a ball from the small opening.
"As the name is called, the rest of that person's nominations will disappear from the spinner. Dumbledor was given the ball. "The first name to be produced is Harry Potter..."
Flitwick handed him more balls, each at a time.
"The 2nd is... Blaise Zambini. 3rd is Colin Creevy, 4th is Ronald Weasly, 5th chosen is Seamus Finnegin. The 6th male is Dean Thomas... 7th -Tom Fletcher... And last but not least..." Dumbledor paused "Draco Malfoy..." nearly half the balls disappeared when his name was called. Girls gave each other excited glances, as if he was treasured among them.
Dumbledor continued to read names as Professor Flitwick handed him the labeled balls. "The female vacationers are: Hermione Granger Pavarti Patil Pansy Parkinson Lavender Brown Ginny Weasly Susan Bones Padma Patil And Luna Lovegood... Those students who have just been selected, please meet back here at 9:00 pm. You have permission to be out of common rooms. Now... Let the feast begin!" Dumbledor concluded. Ginny looking shocked, stood up and left the Great Hall."
