Dreaming of You
Chapter 6
Wizard's Duel
"But…" Ginny said, holding up one hand. "Only if you would do a few little things."
"Oh? And what might those things be?" Malfoy said in an amused tone, refolding his arms.
"Number one. Dye your hair black." Ginny replied, counting it off her finger.
"What for?" Malfoy asked, a little puzzled. Not that he would do that, of course. His hair was one of his source of pride. He isn't going to dye it just to get Weasley alone, even if it's against orders.
"You'll know later." Ginny answered. "Number two. Wear a pair of glasses."
Malfoy was beginning to see a certain pattern here. "And number three?"
"Number three. Rename yourself Harry Potter." Ginny replied, ticking off the last point. "That's about it. You think you can do that?"
"If I can do all that, you'll come with me?" Malfoy asked.
"Hmmm…" Ginny appeared to be thinking hard. "No."
"Why am I not surprised?" Malfoy said, rubbing his forehead. It was proving more difficult then he thought.
"No offences to you." Ginny replied, turning to Harry with a smile and a wink, who had almost melted with relive when he heard Ginny's impossible requests. "But I think I prefer the original Harry Potter to a fake Harry Potter."
"Really?" Malfoy said.
"Yes." Ginny started walking away from Malfoy. "Come on, Harry. Ron and Hermione would be worried if we stayed away any longer."
Harry returned Malfoy's smug smile before turning his back on Malfoy, his hands reaching for Ginny's.
Bad mistake.
"You know, you don't really have a choice." Malfoy's voice rang out behind them. A dangerous tone. "Expelliarmus!"
Before Harry could turn around, the spell had already reached him. He was send flying into the nearby wall with a crash. The world seemed to swim upside-down for a moment as Harry tried to fight off the effects of bashing into the wall at high speed.
"Harry!" Ginny cried as she hurried to his side.
"No, no. I can't allow that." Malfoy said, shaking his head. His grin had returned, now that he was back in control of the situation. "Accio Weasley!"
Just as Ginny was about to reach Harry, the spell caught up with her, snatching her away from Harry into Malfoy's arms. Malfoy soon found her more than a handful.
"Let me go, you stupid idiot!" Ginny yelled, straggling in Malfoy's grasp. Her hands connected with Malfoy's nose, causing him to drop her with a curse of pain. Ginny tried to scamper away from Malfoy, but Malfoy, despite a bleeding nose, managed to grab hold of Ginny's hair.
"Do that again, and I will kill you, bitch!" Malfoy hissed into Ginny's ear as he pulled hard on her hair, causing Ginny to cry out in pain.
"Take your filthy hands off her, Malfoy." Harry said angrily as he tried to pull himself to his feet, his head still ringing unpleasantly from the pain.
"Or what, Potter? What can you do to me?" Malfoy gloated as he looked at his old foe, Ginny still straggling and yelling from his hand. "You can't even stand." He gave Harry a savage kick in the stomach, causing Harry to fall back in pain.
"Stop that!" Ginny shouted, somehow twisting herself around her hair to clamp her teeth onto the hand holding her hair. With an oath, Malfoy pulled his hand out of range of Ginny's teeth, his other hand reaching out to connect with the side of Ginny's face in a loud slap. As Ginny reeled back from the force of the blow, Malfoy whipped his wand out to Ginny and bound her hands and feet and mouth with ropes that shoot from the end of his wand, rendering her helpless.
"That should keep you from interfering." Malfoy said. "Now where were we…?" He gave Harry another kick, knocking Harry, who was almost on his feet, back down again. "Ha! Look at yourself now, Potter! The great Harry Potter, on his knees before me!" He reared back his feet for another kick.
Harry, seeing his chance, grabbed hold of Malfoy's leg as he kicked again. With all his strength, Harry pulled on the leg, overbalancing Malfoy and toppling him over. Not wasting another moment, Harry rolled over Malfoy and started to hit him wherever he could reach.
"Not… feeling so smug now… are we?" Harry panted as he tried his very best to beat Malfoy up.
"Not my face!" Malfoy cried when he felt the fist of Harry punched him in the nose. "Ohhh… you will pay for that!"
"Shut up!" Harry said, redoubling his efforts, aiming at the face now. "I'm taking you down now!"
Unfortunately, Malfoy still had his wand. "Expell…armus!" He gasped out in between the attacks of Harry. Harry was thrown off Malfoy by the force of the spell. Malfoy hurriedly got to his feet, as had Harry, despite the pain he was feeling. They stood glaring at each other down the corridor. Suddenly, Malfoy straighten up and brushed the dust off his robes.
"Wizard's duel, Potter." Malfoy said, holding out his wand. "Winner gets Weasley. What do you think?"
Harry's eyes narrowed, as he wondered what Malfoy had up his sleeves this time. But a wizard's duel was an offer he couldn't refuse. He nodded curtly, not taking his eyes off Malfoy.
