'He really does have beautiful eyes' Ginny thought idly, watching with no small amount of satisfation as Malfoy recoiled from kissing little miss 'take me now'. Then she realized that her thought train had officially verged on jealousy. Ohhh no. She muffled a groan, suddenly realizing her - until then, minor admiration of the Slytherin - was blossoming into a full fledged crush. Like a weed that wouldn't go away. And she had enough to deal with trying to figure out if she still liked Harry! 'I refuse to crush on both of them. I absolutely refuse!'
Ginny threw down her napkin irritably, nearly knocking her chair over in the process of standing up. "Stupid cupid, you're a real mean guy. I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly.." Ron gave her a funny look, but hurriedly glanced away when she made a rather vicious snipping motion with her hand.
"I am in love and it's a crying shame, and I *know* that you're the one to blame..." She rolled her eyes, noticing Harry studiously not looking at her.
"Hey, hey, set me free.." Ginny shrugged her shoulders casually & her already undone robes (it was a hot day) slipped off, revealing a fitted white t-shirt with a crossed out heart boldly emblazoned on the front. She scowled at Malfoy, who was watching her with a lazy smile playing at his mouth.
"I can do my homework and I can't think straight.." A few of her teachers nodded in emphatic agreement. Ginny's daydreaming habits were notorious.
"I meet 'em every morning at half past eight" Both of them, she added silently. 7th year Slytherins and Gryffindors had the same class that period and she usually walked Harry there, much to her older brother's amusement.
"I'm acting like a lovesick fool," Malfoy grinned & she could almost hear him mocking her - 'Only for the past 6 years Weasley, but who's counting?' Thank God he didn't suspect anything beyond her crush on Harry. She'd die of embarrassment. As if to demonstrate, her ears flushed bright pink.
"You even got me carrying his books to school" Ginny winced. Harry had hurt his arm saving the world for the fifth time a couple weeks ago. She'd been helping! And that excuse would work..if it weren't for the simpering 'honored' feeling she very clearly remembered basking in. The pink spread to her cheeks this time.Shoot me now.
That infuriating Slytherin was checking her out again and she stalked over to his table. "Hey, hey, set me free."
"What's wrong Weasley?" He drawled.
Ginny picked up a pie to her left. "Stupid cupid, stop picking on me." And with a satisfied smirk, she smooshed it on Malfoy's ferret-face. The hall went very silent as he rather casually picked the goop from his eyes.
Draco looked at her for a long moment, an indiscernable look in his eyes. She smiled innocently. "You mixed me up good, right from the very start..."
He slowly stood up, somehow still dignified despite great amounts of key lime pie distributed in his hair. Ginny raised an eyebrow impishly at him. "Hey go play Robin Hood.. with somebody else's heart.." There was a flicker of something semi-dangerous in Draco's eyes and her own eyes widened, groping for something behind her to block him with. She found it in the form of Colin Creevey, who had been following her with a camera. Ginny shoved him in front of her and took the opportunity to scramble up a chair and over an unused space of table. "You got me jumping like a crazy clown."
Draco smirked, folding his arms. "Apparently."
She scowled at him. "And I don't feature what you're putting down.."
"And that would be?"
"Since I kissed his loving lips of wine"
"You kissed Potter?!"
Ginny chose to ignore that remark, feeling it was self-evident. Harry turned extremely red, as Ron & the twins comprehended what she had just said and whirled on him, murder in their eyes. She could see Harry shrugging and awkwardly trying to string appropriate words together to defuse her brothers. "The thing that bothers me is that I liked it fine.."
Malfoy grimaced. "Weasley, I just ate!"
"Yeah!" The twins added, barely looking up from interrogating a very frightened-looking Harry. The girls around her sighed and looked rather jealous.
"Hey, hey.. set me free-"
Ginny started from surprise as about a dozen girls emphatically finished for her. "Stupid cupid start picking on me!"
