Chapter Two
*I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then//I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end//Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in//This time, tonight*
"Mr. Malfoy!" Professor McGonagall said shrilly, snapping Draco out of his daydream, "I will not ask you again to pay attention! 5 points from Slytherin." Draco groaned and slumped in his seat, causing McGonagall to assign him a detention "for your poor attitude. You will meet me in here at 7:30."
"Yes, Professor." Draco grumbled.
Professor McGonagall resumed her lesson, and Draco tried to pay attention. Ginny Weasley had lost his house 5 points and got him a detention not one minutes apart, and she wasn't even in the room. What was next; expulsion from Romania?
*~*
Draco skipped dinner that night for two reasons: 1.) To avoid Pansy, who was following him around like a dog in heat, and 2.) He needed to study. He wasn't the only one, he realized once he entered the library. It was packed full of 5th and 6th years who were being loaded with homework to prepare for their O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s. The professors were big on homework.
Draco walked around looking for a place to sit down. At first he couldn't see one empty seat, and was considering bullying a Hufflepuff into giving him her seat. Then he spotted a table in the back of the library that, as far as he could tell, was not occupied. He walked to it and realized to both his horror and glee that it was occupied by Ginny Weasley.
'Juts sit down,' He coaxed himself, 'She won't say anything to you. You can just forget she's there.'
Draco walked to an empty seat. "Can I sit here?" He asked Ginny, being as polite as he knew how to be.
Ginny did not return these manners, however. She shrugged her shoulders and said, seeming very smug, "It's not my chair. You can do whatever you damn well please with it."
Draco took that as a yes, so he set his books down on the table across from Ginny and sat down.
The two of them worked in silence for and hour or so. Draco would often find himself sneaking peeks at Ginny as she worked. She looked so.cute. (Though Draco hated to use that word, that's how she looked.) Her eyebrows would furrow if she came across a difficult problem, and she would often bite on her bottom lip as she wrote.
He always managed to snap himself out of it before it went too far, and he did or said something he'd regret. Then, at around 7:00 Ginny stood up, collected her things, and left. Draco spent the next 20 minutes allowing himself to think about Ginny and all of her perfections (and all her imperfections that he thought were perfect anyway.), until he remembered that he had detention at 7:30.
'Good job, Draco,' He told himself silently as he walked down the corridor to Professor McGonagall's classroom, 'You didn't do anything stupid. Now prepare yourself for an entirely Ginny-free evening.'
