Draco leaned closer as Ginny whispered some "well kept" secrets about her :cough cough: popularity

"Well….you see" Ginny started off "To be as cool as me you have to…first of all…" she paused for thought. "Well we could work on your attitude first"

Draco scowled then rearranged his face into a calm mask "I'm listening"

"You need to be… more…more" Ginny looked nervous as she realized how close he was to her, she shrunk back then resumed talking about her nonsense, I mean, her advice.

"You need to be more…nice and whatnot, like me!" she said energetically.

Draco started at her like she had grown horns. "WHAT!" he screeched "Me nice! HAHAHA" he scoffed, laughing at Ginny's affronted expression

"I mean it Malfoy, You need a serious attitude makeover, I mean, I don't know how anyone can stand to be around you for more than 5 minutes at a time…your so…so INSUFFERABLE!"

Malfoy shrank away as she bellowed her "thoughtful" comments into his ear. "Thanks Weasley, I mean, you were the one who asked me to take lessons from you…I think" he paused

Ginny giggled at his face, which was now twisted into a mask of confusion and disapproval, as if he didn't really want to be here, but he was only there because his parent's wanted him to be there or something.'

"Fell free to leave, I shall lend my expertise to another person more willing if you wish" she said, sneering, well attempting to sneer, it in fact looked more like a stunned porcupine.

"I want your help Weasel, but I would be happier if you were to keep your little comments to yourself" he said, sneering to himself.

Ginny started at him in amazement "WOW, I wasn't too sure if you'd want to or not, I thought you was like joking or something…." She paused "but now that I see your actually wanting to do this, I shall let you in on a little secret" she beckoned him in closer

Malfoy leaned in closer till she was by his ear, She paused for thought then shouted as loud as she could "AHHH NOOO! IM NOT HELPING YOU MALFOY! HAHAHA" he jumped back, as if burned.

"WHAT!" he whispered in disbelief "Your not going to help me? Why?" he said, putting on puppy dog eyes, and staring at the still laughing form of Ginny Weasley.

"Cause, I am too cool for you" she said, poking out her tongue in a terribly juvenile way.

Draco looks affronted for a moment, then calmed himself down "In and out" he muttered to himself, "breathe baby"

Ginny was now on the floor, STILL cracking up at the "Hurt" look on Draco's face.

"I thought you Gryffindor's were 'supposed to be all lovey dovey and whatnot" he snarled.

Ginny stopped laughing and looked him straight in the eye "Are you saying I'm not?" she said sweetly, before picking herself up of the carriage floor and settling herself in the cushy Hogwarts train chairs, wincing at the dust she'd picked up of the floor.

"That's exactly what I'm saying" he replied, looking her straight in the eye with a look of pure hatred.

"You know People might take u more seriously if u took of that mask" she replied bitchily.

"OHHH someone's in a bad mood" he replied smirking, though inside he was thinking to himself This Weasley's got spunk…. she's a bit of a plank, but that can be fixed…."Tell ya what Little Weasel. How bout we make bit of a bet?"

Ginny quickly looked up from her Walkman "what sorta bet?" she asked, her heart beating quite fast as she studied this pale, blonde haired boy sitting in front of her.

Draco stared at her, as though sizing her up, she squirmed uncomfortably before he started his exciting tale.

"To find out, which out of us, is the most popularist at the end of year ball, when they vote for someone for queen and king, if either of us get it, they will be :crowned: more popular than the other, and the one who didn't get crowned will…will….will have to do whatever the other person wants them to do, before the school term ends!" he said, finishing up and looking triumphant.

"What ball?" Ginny asked suspiciously.

Draco waved his hand around carelessly, "Oh just something I heard my dad talking to his work colleagues about" he said, stressing the word colleagues.

"Dumbledorr has decided to have a end of year ball for 5th years and older, to relieve stress or some shit, and it's going to be muggle tradition styles, the whole king and queen thing" He said

"WOW, sounds like fun…So if either of us win, we will have to be the other person's slave for the rest of the year?" she asked interestedly

"Y-E-S" he said, stressing out the word for her "Simple" mind to understand.

"Ok I'm in…." she said, a little nervously, as she should be, going round, striking up deals with random people…namely Draco Malfoy

"Good, we'll discuss the details later…the train's nearly at Hogwarts and I need to get dressed" he said moving toward the door.

Ginny started at him but before he got out the door he heard her ask him something "What?" he shouted

Ginny flinched, but resumed her glaring at him "I just wanted to say that this changes nothing, I still hate you, and I'm not gonna like…. be all nice to you or anything, and I expect the same from you"

Draco stared at her like she was crazy before snarling out "Of course not Weasel, I'm not going to be nice to you, and I'm sure as hell not going to expect you to be nice to be" he said, looking as if being nice would be the worst thing in the world.

"I'm leaving now, I know you love my company so much, but I have better things to do then hang around you" he said with disgust as he strode out the door.

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ON MY LIST!" she yelled out the hallway as he walked away, she shook her head. Could've sworn I heard him laugh she thought to herself before shaking her head HAHA I doubt it…

She sat down and put her list away as she almost instantly fell asleep.
