Not to Fall For You

A/N: This is an idea that I've had for a while. I can completely picture this "episode" in my head, fully planned and everything. I think it's going to be pretty cool (as I haven't written it yet…), but that's just me. Tell me what you think of it!!!!!! ~*~Ashley C.~*~

Ginny watched as Draco crossed the surprisingly crowded library over toward her. Ron, who was sitting with Harry and Hermione, watched him closely and did not looked pleased when Malfoy started to speak:
"Hey Ginny," he said, looking all happy with himself.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly.
Malfoy smiled pleasantly.
You looked at my face
Thought you could get me
Better look twice
It won't be that easy
"I just wanted to know if you'd…go have a butterbeer with me sometime," he said calmly. Ginny's eyes darted over at Ron. His teeth were clenched tightly. Hermione and Harry's hands were occupied with the task of holding Ron by the robes to keep him from running.
Now Ginny narrowed her eyes. She studied Draco and said, "Is this a sick joke?"
"Joke?! Why would it be a joke?! I just wanted to know if you wanted a drink with me sometime! Most girls your age would kill to get this offer!" cried Malfoy, very angry and nervous.
Think it's because
You're a little older
All you'll get from me is my cold shoulder
As soon as Ron heard this his jaw dropped below the earth's surface. "What?!?!?!?!" he hissed to Harry and Hermione. Hermione had dropped her hold on his robes and was staring at Malfoy in disbelief. Harry's grip, however, had gotten tighter and he was blinking very hard.
Ginny shook her head softly and said, quite loudly, "No. No. I don't think so. Bye, see ya later."
You shouldn't judge
Someone by what you see
you may be wrong
Like you were wrong 'bout me
Ron leaned back in his seat, very pleased with his sisters' common sense. "I always knew you had potential," he said happily as she moved her things over to their table.
"Yeah, but Malfoy's kind of a creep," answered Ginny.
Ron nearly burst with joy. "Yes!" he cried. "M'dear, I have taught you well."
Ginny laughed.
I'm not too young
To know
The right things to do
And one of those things
Is not to fall for you
Two days later Malfoy approached Ginny in the halls and asked her the same question again. And again she answered "no."
He kept pestering her until she finally burst. "Malfoy, you just think that because I'm a little younger than you that you can—can just… manipulate me like this!" She felt much better after saying this.
Malfoy narrowed his eyes and said, "Ginny, Ginny. I think that you've just been brainwashed by your worthless brother and his pathetic friends-"
Whack!
Malfoy tried to smile, though he was in serious pain. Ginny gave him an innocent smile and walked off, patting the hand that had whacked Malfoy.
Boy I don't want no play
Didn't you hear me say
I'm not gonna fall for you
So please just go away
"Uh, Draco, how come the pretty girls, uh, always, uh, hit you?" asked Crabbe later on in the Slytherin Common Room.
"I don't- hey, they aren't pretty!" cried Malfoy.
"Um, yeah, they are," said Goyle, confused.
"Whatever. Listen and really listen (for once in your pathetic lives). We have to get little miss Weasley," said Draco quietly.
"Uh, Draco, we can't, um, hear you really," muttered Goyle.
"I don't care. Actually, the less you hear, the better."
Draco continued to talk to himself.
It didn't work out
The way that you planned
Bragged to your friends, say you were the man
Now whatcha gonna do
Since your plan is blown
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're cryin' all alone
Ginny was in a comfy armchair in her own common room at this exact time, giggling with Hermione over the events of that day.
"And… and then…" she gasped between giggles, "I… I wha- I whack…" They were laughing too hard to speak by now. Hermione rolled off of her chair onto the floor right on top of Hogwarts: A History. "Ow," she said then looked at Ginny and they both fell into hysterics.
From the top of the stairs Ron and Harry watched carefully. "Are they okay?" asked Harry in a concerned voice.
"I think so…" answered Ron uncertainly.
Too bad you judged me by first sight
It's too late now
So kiss this chance good night
The next day at lunch Malfoy approached the Gryffindor table first thing. "Say, Ginny," he said smoothly to the red headed girl. "Do you…I don't know… want to go to Hogsmeade today with me?"
Ginny blinked. "You've got to be kidding me," she said. "I'm sick of you! You just… walk around acting like just because you-" (she stabbed him with her index finger) "ask that you should get what you want! GO AWAY!"
"Fine. If you- want it that way, fine," he said, furious. "But when you want a boyfriend I certainly won't be here."
Ginny nearly shook as she got up and put her hand to his back and led him to the Slytherin table while most of the people in the Hall watched her. "Sit," she said loudly. He sat. "Don't you dare bother me or my friends. Ever. Got it?" Malfoy nodded very quickly. "Now eat and just—just get out of my face!" She walked proudly back to her own table to stunned stares from the Slytherins and cheers from everyone else.
I'm not too young
To know
The right things to do
And one of those things is not to fall for you
You say you want me
When you don't really know who I am
From then on out, boys knew not to ever irritate or make Ginny Weasley angry. Neville Longbottom was so scared of Ginny that he avoided her in the halls and squeaked when she talked to him.
Didn't work out
The way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Say you were the man
Now whatcha gonna do
Since your plan is blown
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're cryin' all alone
Malfoy, however, still bothered girls, younger and older. They all called on Ginny to help them, and at this he squeaked like Neville and ran.
Ginny led a calm, peaceful life.
Too bad you judged me
By first sight
It's too late now
So kiss this chance good night

A/N: Cute, no? I rather liked it. The reason I haven't posted a new "Before and After" part is because I am stuck. I can't decide what to do… I'm working on it though.
