Anger

"Draco Malfoy, you get your pasty arse back here right now!"

Draco leapt over the couch and managed to duck down just in time to miss the shoe that went flying past him and buried itself into the wall by the tip of its spiked heel.

"Can't we just talk about this, Ginny?" he called in a placating voice.

"No!"

Another heel flew past him. He winced as this one smashed a priceless vase.

"Come on. You know I didn't mean it."

Ginny's response to this pitiful attempt at appeasement was a furious growl, but the silence that followed was what really disturbed him. He was used to her temper and the sound of breaking china, but he was not used to such bone-chilling quiet.

Draco risked a look over the back of the couch. There was his wife calmly aiming her wand at him. Her lips curved into a smug smile, and he knew then that it was too late to duck back to safety.

His body went rigid as the non-verbal body-binding spell took effect. The sound of bare feet padding on carpet came closer towards him, and then Ginny was peering down at him with an evil gleam in her eyes.

"Still think Astoria Greengrass is the most shaggable woman you've ever seen?"

Draco tried to speak but found he couldn't move his mouth. He glared at Ginny, who obliged by giving him back the ability to control his face.

"Merlin, woman!" he exclaimed as soon as he had regained the power of speech. "And they think I have problems."

Ginny lifted her wand threateningly.

"Wait!" Draco exclaimed, alarmed. "I know you're angry, but I actually can explain."

"Oh, really?"

"Look, I know it sounds bad, but Blaise and I really were just having a harmless conversation."

"Ah, yes, a harmless conversation about how shaggable Astoria Greengrass is. Never mind the fact that you have a wife!"

"Yes, Ginny, I have a wife – one that right now is acting very dense."

"What?"

He rolled his eyes. "I'm in love with you, Ginevra. Do you really think I give a damn about Astoria?"

"But you said—"

"What, and you've never waxed poetical over Oliver Wood's biceps before?"

Ginny went a bit red in the face. "Oh."

"Yes, oh. Now will you kindly remove this body-binding spell so I can kiss you?"

"Yes, dear," responded his wife meekly.
