That Damn Potion
Chapter 4: Day Three December 20th
Ginny woke up at around 11:00 and pulled on a pair of pants, a t-shirt, and her favorite sweatshirt and walked downstairs and toward the portrait hole when someone called out to her.
"You can't get out that way." Came the voice of Draco Malfoy from the couch behind her.
"Why not?"
"Wilma locked us in. I think I upset her yesterday." He replied smirking rather evilly.
"How are we going to get out?"
"My owl will show up eventually with my mail and then we can send someone a letter to come get us."
"How long do you think that will take?" Ginny asked as she plopped down on the couch across from him.
"I'm not sure, but I'm bored already."
"Well then we should play a game." Ginny said enthusiastically.
"Like what?"
"I don't know, First Letter Last Letter, the name game, truth, something like that." She replied.
"What's truth?"
"You've never played truth?" she asked shocked as Malfoy shook his head. "Obviously you've never been to a good slumber party. It's really pretty simple though, you ask each other questions back and forth and you have to tell the truth."
"How do you win?"
"If either of us pass on a question, then the other person has to answer that question and one more that the other person asks and then they win."
"That sounds like fun, let's play that."
"You sure? This game can get pretty brutal."
"I can take it, you start."
"Okay simple questions first, what's your favorite color?"
"Green."
"The color of jealousy." Ginny said mockingly
"Oh really, well what's yours?"
"Red."
"The color of anger. And green can also be used for hope and growth." Malfoy said looking triumphant
"Well red is also the color of…"
"Trouble."
"Yea so what. So I'm a tad mischievous." Ginny replied looking devilish. "Ok what's your favorite food?"
"Steak, you?"
"S'mores."
"What's that?"
"You've never had a s'more?" Ginny was shocked again, What does this boy do for fun? Who hadn't had a s'more before?
"Nope."
"Well you have them around bonfires, you roast a marshmallow and then put it in between two graham crackers with some chocolate. It's so good."
"Sounds kinda messy."
"It is, my turn again. What's your most embarrassing moment ever?"
He stopped and thought for a while when he all of a sudden made one of those faces where you know he just thought of something perfect. "Oh God. This one time Blaise and I were a little bit smashed and we started daring each other to do crazy stuff and I somehow got talked into streaking down in the dungeons."
"No way!" Ginny couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes way, and so I'm running around in the dungeons in the buff when I run into Filch. And he just kinda stared at me for the longest time and it really creeped me out. Then he finally gave me detention, but he just wouldn't stop staring at me and looking me up and down and he wouldn't give me anything to cover up with. I've been terrified to go anywhere near him since." Ginny was all out cracking up by now. "Hey it's not funny, Filch was practically raping me with his eyes and I couldn't really do much about since I was completely trashed and butt naked!"
"And whose fault is that?" Ginny asked smirking at him.
"Blaise's"
"Oh really?"
"Yes and I'm tired of talking about this so it's my turn. What is your most embarrassing moment Ginny Weasley?"
"Hmmm that would have to be last year when someone put a repeating phrase hex on me as I was going to Potions. All I could say was 'I wanna have your babies!' and of course I said it to Snape like a bazillion times." Malfoy was cracking up as he listened to her. "Hey it's not that funny!"
"Yes it is cause I know who cast it on you."
"Who?"
"Pansy Parkinson, she was aiming at Granger, but it missed her and I guess it hit you."
"Well that will be my next question then, what is the deal with you and Parkinson?"
"Ok so Pansy kind of clung to me since the day we got here. We dated for a while during 5th and 6th year and then I dumped her last year."
"Why did you dump her?"
"She got really annoying and clingy and I just got sick of her."
"Sounds like fun." Ginny said jokingly.
"What do you do for fun?"
"Is that your question?" Malfoy nodded at her. "I don't know, I hang out with friends and I love to listen to music. Oh and quiditch of course. Anything challenging or dangerous is exciting to me actually."
"So if I dared you to go jump into the lake, you would do it?"
"I might…" As Ginny thought something flew past her head.
"Finally!" Ginny watched as Malfoy attached a letter to the owl's foot and it flew away again.
"What about you?" she asked
"What about me?" he asked looking confused.
"What do you do for fun?"
"I like hanging out with Blaise, ordering Crabbe and Goyle around, dueling, and quidditch. My turn again. What's it like to have so many brothers?"
"Annoying really, especially since I'm the youngest and the only girl. So they're all really overprotective of me, but it's nice to have so many people that care about you, even if they show it by beating up anybody that they think is bothering you."
"Sounds interesting, but I'm still glad that I'm an only child." As they both laughed the portrait swung open. Both Ginny and Malfoy got up as Professor Snape walked in.
"Hello Severus, thanks for coming to rescue me."
"Not a problem Draco, I've informed Wilma that if it happens again we will have her removed. Have a good day." He said as he looked skeptically at Ginny.
"You as well." At that Snape turned and walked out of the portrait hole.
"You call him Severus?" Ginny asked a litte taken aback by the previous conversation.
"He is my godfather."
"He is?"
"Yes. Now let's get out of here before I go crazy." Malfoy replied. They both walked out of the doorway until Ginny stopped in the middle of one of the hallways. "What is it?"
"I just realized, where are we going?"
"I don't know, somewhat late lunch?"
"Okay." They both went down to the Great Hall ate their lunches and nearly an hour later decided to do some more work on the ball. The two walked around delivering things to different teachers laughing and joking with each other. Oh my God, what am I doing? This is Draco ferret-boy Malfoy and I'm actually having fun with him. Ginny thought to herself.
"Oh do you remember that time last year when Crabbe purposely ran into your brother and knocked him flat on the ground?" Malfoy asked her, laughing at the memory.
"Well how about what happened right after that, you know when Hermione socked Crabbe in the gut and he keeled over?" Ginny laughed along with him now. They had been doing this for hours now, remembering everything that their two groups had done to each other for the past 7 years.
"You know, we've been talking about all this stuff, but I can't remember ever doing anything to you or you doing anything to me…" Malfoy said.
"Bat bogey hex." Ginny stated simply.
"What?"
"I put a bat bogey hex on you, but besides that nothing."
"That was really gross, just so you know." He said wincing at the memory.
"Oh I know." She said smiling at him.
"You really are trouble, you know that?"
"You have no idea." she said griing devilishly.
"Now I'm scared." He said and they both laughed as they made their way back up the stairs to their rooms. "Well good night and thanks for all your help today.
"Not a problem and good night." Ginny walked into Hermione's room and flopped down on the bed I can't believe that I had that much fun hanging out with Draco Malfoy, but it was all the potion, otherwise we would've murdered each other. But for some reason Ginny wasn't convinced.
