Hi! Thanks to everyone who reviewed.  Here is the second chapter.  I hope you

enjoy it!

                                  CHAPTER TWO

     "While you are here," Snape said, "I will expect all of you to write a paper

on the kind of wizard you believe you are now, and the kind of wizard you wish to

become.  It is to be two parchments long.  If you are not finished by four o'clock

you will be required to come back next Saturday to finish it.  Do I make myself

clear, Mr. Malfoy?"

     "Crystal." Malfoy said as he tossed his white-blond hair out of his gray

eyes. 

     'He really is quite attractive.' Ginny thought.  She was shocked that she

would think something like this about Malfoy but it was true, she couldn't lie to

herself.  It wasn't that she hadn't noticed before, she proudly knew all of the cute

boys at Hogwarts, but it had never really hit her until just now.  Even thought he

did have a new found appeal it didn't change the way she felt about him. 

     He had always made fun of her and her family because of their lack of

money.  'Just because he has galleons coming out of his ears it doesn't make him

better than us.'  Even with their shortage of money Ginny had never really needed

anything.  Her brothers got her anything she requested because she was the only

girl and they looked out for her.  She was also a daddy's girl, which guaranteed

excellent birthday presents.  So, even though they didn't have a lot of extra money,

she had to admit that she was spoiled.

     "I will be right outside the door.  So, anything you do, I will be able to

hear.", Ginny heard Snape say as she came slowly back to the present.  "If any of

you even attempt any magic I will know about it.  So, don't even try because if

you do-"

     "-let me guess...you'll see us next Saturday?" Everyone turned to glare at

Malfoy who was the only one brave enough to interrupt Snape while he was giving

a lecture.

     "No, but I will be seeing you, Draco, due to that inane interruption.  As I

was saying, if you are caught doing magic your wands will be taken away from you

and not given back until classes resume on Monday.  Here are your quills and

parchment.  You will receive only two each, so, there will be no writing over the

requirement.  Two parchments and two parchments only."  As he said this he

turned to look at Hermione who obviously knew that last part was added for her

benefit because she blushed and looked away.

     Snape then turned to leave and when he was almost to the door they all

heard Draco call out, "Looking forward to out date next Saturday, Professor."

Snape stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to confront the speaker.

     "You think this is a joke, Mr. Malfoy?  Just to make sure you don't, why

don't you make arrangements to be here the Saturday after that too."

     "Sure, no problem, but any time after that will have to be cleared with my

secretary before hand.", Malfoy replied with a smirk.

     "Why don't you just go ahead and clear the whole rest of the month

because you're going to be here."

     "That can be arranged."  Malfoy said as he lowered his eyelids so he was

intently glaring at his verbal opponent.

     "You know what? Clear the next month too.  That will give you lots of

time to sit in here and crack jokes."

     Malfoy half opened his mouth to give his reply but before he had a chance,

Ginny yelled, "Knock it off!"  Draco turned to her and shut his mouth, surprised at

her verbal outburst.  Her comment did something good though because it made both men

realize that they better stop now before their argument escalated any further.

     Giving Draco one last look Snape then turned and walked out of the library

and entered the office across the hall.

     "What kind of wizard am I...what kind of wizard do I wish to become..."

They all turned to hear Hermione whispering to herself about the essay.  Ginny and

Ron looked at each other and rolled their eyes realizing that she was probably

going to be the only one in the room to actually do their essay.

     "Hey, Harry."  Harry looked up from his shoes to look at Malfoy, who had

called his name, "Why don't you go on over and close that door an we can teach

Ginny here a thing or two about 'adult relations' because we can't do a thing with

the door open.  We certainly wouldn't want Snape walking in on us...would we

Gin?"  Draco turned quickly towards Ginny and winked at her while giving her one

of his sexiest smiles.

     Appalled and shocked by what he had said, Ginny gave Draco one of her

most disgusted looks.

     "Leave her alone, Malfoy." Ron said through gritted teeth.

     "What are you gonna do about it Weasly? I mean, I know you wouldn't be

interested but I bet Potter over there would be more then willing to give me a hand

with you sister." Malfoy said, tilting his head to give Ron a sarcastic look.  Ron

looked at Harry who didn't seem to be listening because he was staring into the

empty space to the left of their direction.

     "Just shut up Malfoy, we really don't care what you think." Ginny said in a

tone that was low but none the less forceful.

     Malfoy turned to say something back to her but was stopped when they

heard Snape yell, "Hey! I do not want to come in there!"

     Ginny sighed, turned around in her seat and though 'This is going to be a

long day."

Okay...so there's chapter two! Please, if you read this tell me what you think.

Thanks so much!!
