Avoiding Destiny
Chapter Three
Rude Gestures
And follow them they did. All the way down a long and winding hallway, up a flight of stairs and into a dingy little hole in the wall that he called an office.
Draco coughed from all the dust as they walked in and after looking around he sneered in disgust. "This *your* office, Shadow?"
Duane chuckled. "Of course not. This is where we take all new employees to interview them. Wouldn't want any dark wizards reporting what's in the office they're taken to."
Duane looked carefully at Draco after he had said that.
"What?" Draco asked. "I'm not one of them you know. My father's the asshole -" Draco stopped knowing if he said anymore he and his father would be in trouble.
"Well can we get one with the interview, Shadow?"
"I prefer Duane, Draco."
"Whatever."

After the interview, Draco basically ran from the room. Ginny followed him but not quite as fast. When she got outside, she saw him leaning against the building wall smoking a cigarette.
He looked at her as she came out, checking her out again. "Want one?" He asked as he exhaled the smoke.
She shook her head and continued walking but his mocking voice stopped her. She noticed his drawl had changed into a sort of American New York accent.
"Figures a Weasley wouldn't smoke."
She whirled around. "And why is that *Mister* Malfoy?"
"Because you are all too nice and shit." He said and took another puff.
"No we are not!"
"You're right. Fred wasn't too nice last time I saw him. He was doing some weird shit I ain't bothered to try yet when I met him in Knockturn."
"Fred?" She asked hopefully. She hadn't seen him in a couple years. No one she talked to had.
"Yeah saw him last month in the new bar." Draco threw down the half-smoked cigarette and started to walk away when she stopped him.
"How was he?"
"Fred?"
She nodded.
"Well like I said he was doing some weird shit. He seemed all right though I guess." He pulled out the keys to a black muggle Lamburghini and clicked a button. Something beeped and the doors unlocked.
"Could I get a ride?"
He quirked a brow. "In my new car?" He asked disbelieving.
Ginny flipped him off then started walking down the street not believing he had acted like that.
She heard him open then close the car door and soon enough he was driving next to her very slowly. "Come on Ginny I was just screwing with you."
She pretended to ignore him.
"Get in the car."
Ginny shook her head.
"Come on. You don't want to be walking down these streets alone when it gets dark."
He had a point. Ginny had to admit that. She had read in the paper about women getting raped and murdered while walking around in this neighborhood. She had somehow forgotten about her ability to apparate but since she was on a pretty busy muggle street it probably wouldn't be a good idea anyway so she stopped walking and got into Draco's car.
-----
A/N: Draco doesn't smoke that often in this story. He just wanted an excuse to talk to her so he decided to smoke and offer her one. Also sorry for the wait on this one but I had written it months ago and forgot that it was done. Sorry! :)
