A/N: CLIFFY! Lol. Anyhoo, I must say that I am quite disappointed. I am not getting as many reviews as I would like to be getting. Infact, I shall not post another chapter after this one, unless I get five more reviews..at least. Preferably on this chapter. But I don't really care that much. AND THEY HAVE TO BE SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL! 'Great story!' and 'update soon' are not substantial, no matter how much I love the support!
So, who knows what was engorged? Er..made bigger? Hee hee.
Disclaimer: The only things of J.K. Rowling's that I own would be copies of all her published books in the Harry Potter series. Sadly, nothing in them. Except perhaps the inscription on the inside cover of each from various relatives.
That bloody git! He is evil! EVIL I TELL YOU! Ginny was furious. This has to be Malfoy's fault. Glaring over at the Slytherin table, she saw him and Zabini snickering incessantly.
"Woah..Gin, looks like an Engorgement Charm!" Luca exclaimed with an air to her that sounded suspiciously like awe.
"Gee, thanks for the analysis, Doc," Ginny growled at her, pulling her robes out so as to hide the large amount of fat that had been added to her.
"Sorry, girl, there's no way you'll be able to hide that!" Luca gestured at Ginny's overly-large butt, which could possibly rival Dudley's. Jumping up, Ginny stormed--well, waddled, actually--out of the Great Hall as quickly as she could, but not before her huge behind attracted many stares and giggles.
Oh, he is sooo going to regret the day he ever tripped me in the halls. No, make it the day he saw me. Ginny immediately set off for the library, which hopefully would be empty. She needed to plan some things out. First, however, it was time to remove all the extra fat. Ginny perused the shelves looking for the book that might have the counter curse. Spotting it, she pulled it off the shelf with some difficulty. It was hard enough for her to reach the fifth shelf without a large arse, but with one.. She tottered over to a table and sat down and opened the tomb, pulling out her wand and clutching it tightly. Engorgement... engorgement.. she thought while searching for the word. "Avis...Coll--AH!" She hadn't realized her wand was in her hand until a large flock of birds started fluttering around her. "Ouch! Nu! Stop it!" Worried that Madame Pince might come over any minute, she quickly cried, "EVANESCO!" Sighing as they disappeared, the turned back to the book and quickly found the page number. "Reducio!" She cried triumphantly. To her great dismay, her bottom only grew larger. "Reducio! Reducio! REDUCIO! RED--"
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP OR GET OUT OF MY LIBRARY!" Madam Pince apparently was there.
"Sorry!" Ginny called back to her. Glancing down, she saw her butt hanging so much off either side of the chair that she practically had three large bottoms. Oh gosh..what am I going to do!
Luck was on Ginny's side. Not seconds later, Luca showed up, immediately bursting into peals of laughter.
"Shut up! You're supposed to be my friend!" Ginny was exasperated.
"I'm s-s-s-sor-ry..yo-you-your butt!" Luca could hardly breathe from laughing so much.
"You going to help or what!"
"F-fin-nite...In-incanta-tatem," she was able to spit out finally.
Ginny looked down, and was quite relieved to see that her butt and thighs were indeed back to their normal size. "Whew! Don't know why I didn't think of that one! I wonder why Reducio didn't work though."
"Wow, Gin, you've simply got to tell me which weight-loss program you used..how much was that? 300 pounds in two seconds? That's a record, that is!" Luca had been able to stifle her laughter after Ginny's bottom reduction.
Ginny smiled.
"So, what's next on the agenda?"
"What?" Ginny was -shockingly- bewildered.
"Well, you're going to get brutal revenge, right?" Luca asked, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh! Right! What do you have in mind?"
"Okay, well, even though technically you are the one..er..in charge, so to speak, in this particular..er..spat-"
"War," Ginny corrected her.
"Right. I have an idea."
"It'd better be bloody brilliant."
"I wouldn't say that it will be bloody," Ginny's face fell, but Luca continued, "but do not worry. You want red? So it shall be. This will take a bit of time..I'll need to owl home to ask for it...It'll be near impossible to find it here."
"Ah, we're using muggle tactics, are we?" Sometimes Ginny forgot that Luca was of all-muggle heritage.
"Yes." Luca grinned evilly.
"How long do you think it'll take?" Ginny settled into her seat, folding her arms infront of her.
"I can write home for it..I'm sure my mom can get it. I'd say give it three to five days."
"Three to five days! I can't wait that long!"
"So just hex him!"
"That sounds good..but I don't know. I don't think that Bat-Bogey Hex will be enough. And as much as I'd love to banish him, I doubt that I'll get away with it.."
"Okay then, I've got an idea." Luca's evil grin returned.
"Oh, dear."
"C'mon, let's go." The two girls left the library to find a certain ferret. Sadly, they were out of luck, as he had already left the Great Hall.
"Oh, well, buck up. We'll find him. He'll never expect it." Luca said in a would-be-consoling voice.
"I suppose you're right."
"Of course I am."
"I wonder if Reducio works on egos," Ginny retorted. Grinning, the two girls linked arms and walked out to the lake.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two girls didn't get a chance to execute Luca's brilliant plot until it was almost dinner the next day. As they were walking in from the lake, they spotted him walking in the courtyard with Blaise. Even though they were certainly within earshot, their muttering was too quiet to be heard by the girls.
"Wonder what they're plotting this time," Ginny mused softly as they crept behind a tree, pulling their wands out. Luca put her finger to her lips and nodded.
"Confundus!" Luca whispered, pointing her wand at Malfoy. His head shot up.
"Sorry, Blaise, did you say something?" The two had stopped walking, and the blonde's voice had risen loud enough to be heard. Snickering slightly, Ginny directed her wand. My turn..
"Furnunculus!" Ginny cried under her breath. It was hard for them to keep hidden as they doubled over in silent laughter as Malfoy screamed and grabbed at his face, which had burst out in huge boils. Blaise obviously was sharing their difficulty.
"Okay, another one!" Luca whipped her wand up and pointed it again at the blonde. "Impedimenta!"
They watched in awe as the boy's fervent hands slowed down. "Wow, never tried that one before!"
It was at that moment that Blaise happened to turn in their direction and see the girls' heads poking out from behind the tree. "Uh-oh.." Ginny started. Just as she was about to say for them to run, Blaise winked. Ginny stared. Turning to Luca, she was shocked to see her cheeks almost as red as her own hair. What's going on with those two? She thought to herself. "We've still gotta go..rictusempra!" Her aiming was off, and as the two girls turned and ran for it, they heard Blaise doubling over, clutching his stomach and laughing.
Ginny and Luca ran inside, cheeks flushed as they plopped down at the Gryffindor table giggling. The food had already appeared, but not many people were in there yet. Both girls agreed that the escapade had, indeed, been brilliant. Nothing could top it off but what followed next.
Apparently Malfoy had been freed of his immobility and Blaise of his tickle fit, for the two could be seen through the open doors running down the hall, Malfoy screaming at the top of his lungs on his way to the infirmary, Blaise jogging after him, still laughing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ginny had been having an absolutely marvelous week by Wednesday, the day that Luca got the package whose arrival the girls had been awaiting with much anticipation.
The two of them arrived in the Great Hall with high spirits, sure that this would be the day to execute their devious plot. They exchanged excited (A/N: Ex, ex, ex!) glances before turning their heads to watch for the owls. Grinning gleefully as they saw Luca's owl swoop down towards them with a package, they grabbed the package and wolfed down the meal before rushing up to the dormitory.
"So, what did you get!" Ginny couldn't wait any longer.
"You'll see soon enough..be patient!" Luca's sparkling eyes betrayed her annoyed tone.
Ginny was beside herself and snatched it from her, ripping the paper off. "OH!"
Luca beamed.
"OH! OH OH OH! Yes! This is perfect! Yes!" Quickly the tore the box open and unfolded the instructions.
"A simple hair dying kit. We mix this formula up in the bottle, then swap it with his shampool! I'm sure I can get Blaise to do it!"
"Awesome!"
"The only hard bit is, you have to use it right after you make it, so we'll have to get up early to make it, and get it to Blaise before Malfoy gets up."
"So it sounds like we'll be meeting up with him at break, eh?"
"Precisely."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You've got to make sure Malfoy uses it instead of his shampoo."
"But you won't tell me what it is?"
"No." Luca grinned. The girls had agreed not to tell Blaise..it'd be much more interesting for him to see what happened than to know ahead of time, they figured. It'd make for more laughs.
"So I'll meet you here at five, then?"
"He gets up at five-fifteen, right?"
"Yeah."
"Sure you'll have enough time to get it and get back?"
Blaise chuckled. "Course I will, mate. Do you realize who you're talking to!"
Ginny rolled her eyes and grabbed Luca's arm. "See you then!" Luca waved at Blaise as they left.
"What was that all about?" Ginny's eyes were suspicious.
"Nothing!" Despite Luca's denial, Ginny knew better than to believe it was indeed 'nothing'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gah! That was my foot!" Ginny hissed at Luca. They had 'borrowed' Harry's Invisibility cloak and were tiptoeing to the classroom. It was almost five.
"Shh!" Luca grabbed Ginny's arm. "Look," she breathed. Ginny's heart nearly stopped when she saw Snape prowling down the corridor. Oh..no..he can't catch us now! Slowly, she and Luca backed up against the wall, praying that he couldn't hear them. Come on, don't let this be ruined! We've already made it up and everything! There's no telling what Malfoy'll do between now and when we can get another bottle!
Thankfully, Snape apparently sensed nothing and moved along the corridor. As soon as he was out of site the girls bolted for the classroom, which was thankfully just around the corner.
"You're late."
"Yes, well, here it is." Ginny thrust it at him.
"You ought to be a bit nicer, you know. I don't have to do this." About to retort that he actually did have to do it, she noticed his smile and relaxed.
"We appreciate your doing this, Blaise," Luca said, earning another curious glance at her.
"Yes..well..we've got to go.." Ginny ushered Luca out of the room, throwing worried glances over her shoulder at Blaise, who was still sitting nonchalantly on a desk, ankles crossed.
Ginny couldn't focus at all during the next hour and forty-five minutes before they could go to breakfast.
"Relax, Ginny!" Luca told her for the hundredth time as they left the portrait hole. "It's out of our hands..and I'm sure it'll be fine!"
"Oh, I hope for your sake that's true!" Ginny sounded like she meant it too. Down in the Great Hall, Ginny kept on glancing over at the entrance. She nearly fell out of her seat when he walked in. For, standing before nearly the whole school, a once pale boy stood, redder than even Ginny while blushing.
A/N: Well, I hope there were some pleasant surprises in there..I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! Most of this has actually been written for quite a while, but I haven't been in the mood to finish it..I don't think I can very well figure out other people's love lives while mine is such muck..anyway, all personal issues aside, I hope you liked it!
