Chapter Eleven: Draco Tries To Bargain

Ginny sat in detention, bored. She hadn't been allowed to bring her knitting.

Draco peeked into the room. Good—no one was monitoring right now. He waltzed up to Ginny's desk.

"What do you want, Draco?" Ginny said.

He bit his lip. "I want the magazine."

"Well you can't have it, I'm using it."

"I'm willing to make a trade for it."

"Draco." She didn't even bother to look at him. "You don't HAVE anything I would trade for."

"Not even…chocolate?"

"Not even chocolate."

"What about a chicken?"

"I don't want a chicken. They poop everywhere."

"Fine!" Draco huffed. "I will HAVE that magazine, Ginny Weasley! One way or another I will!" He turned and stormed out before he could hear Ginny say, "Alright. You can have it in a few days."

Draco headed back to his dorm, devising a new plan. If Ginny wasn't willing to barter for it, she wouldn't need to.

He must really be desperate for some new clothes, Ginny thought as she stared after him.
