A/N: For MySisterIsASlytherin, who requested Ginny sassing Draco. This went in a weird direction, but I quite like it. Be prepared for 11 year old sass.
I'll get him back for making fun of me, I think as I wait in a hidden alcove in the dungeons. Before I threw it away, my diary told me where the Slytherin Common Room is – the only piece of information it gave me that I'll be using. I'll figure out tomorrow how to get that wretched thing off Harry. But for now all I have to do is wait.
I hear guffaws from down the corridor and hope that Malfoy is with his two cronies. They come into view – yes, Malfoy is there – and I quickly step out in front of them before I chicken out.
"Well, well, well… Weasley, what are you doing down here?" Malfoy asks, even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't care about the answer.
All three of them tower above me, but I manage to say, "I want to speak to you."
Malfoy bursts out in surprised laughter, whilst Crabbe and Goyle just stare at me. I remind myself not to be intimidated.
With a wave of his hand, Malfoy dismisses his friends and they continue into the common room without him. He leans against the wall, smiling lazily, making it clear he only stayed here for amusement.
"Here to beg for money, I suppose?"
If Ron was here, he'd tackle Malfoy and send some backwards curse flying into his own face. I let the insult slide.
"Did you get a valentine, Draco?" I ask, rushing on so he can't answer (it will be really embarrassing if he did get a valentine), "you're just jealous your eyes are colourless, and your hair is the same. No-one wants to go out with you because you're vile. The most you've ever done in your life is not catching a snitch, unlike Harry Potter, who's done more than you'll ever do."
I stop, catch my breath. Draco lifts his wand. I wasn't prepared for him retaliating, I wanted him to step back and apologise, actually. Quickly, I fire the first spell I think of ('Wingardium Leviosa!') and run off in the other direction.
