Only the Beginning
"Cat got your tongue Weasley?"
Malfoy was shocked and surprised that a Weasley would be brave enough to enter the Slytherins territory. However, did not show any emotions on his face. Still wearing his famous smirk he looked at the fiery red head and continued tormenting her.
"Weasley, I assume that you forgot that the compartments at the end are reserved for Slytherins. The one you are in right now is reserved for me and only me."
~*~*~*~
Virginia quickly gained consciousness after being prodded at harshly. At first she was sure it was Ron bothering her, but the sarcastic drawl that came afterwards proved her wrong. She was so surprised to find Malfoy in her compartment, it was nearly impossible for her to think straight, let alone speak back.
Virginia made no move to leave or to defend herself as Malfoy ranted at her. She was scared to say anything, lest he call his goons on her. The only thing she was thankful for was the lack of Crabbe and Goyle, who would surely only make this worse. Wondering what he was going to do to her, she recoiled on her seat and braced herself as he spoke.
~*~*~*~
Ever so slowly Virginia managed to recover from her shock and embarrassment. She looked at Malfoy and gathered all her courage just to speak to him.
"For your information, I know that the compartments at the back are usually used by students in Slytherins. However, I quite sure there is no room barring anyone not in Slytherins from making use of the compartments. I hate to disappoint you, Malfoy, but there wasn't a sign out side that said this compartment is for you and only you,"
After her great speech Virginia sneered seeing that Malfoy was losing his control.
'I think I better leave before he really loses his control…""Since this compartment must be very important to you I guess I will leave now,"
Ginny was halfway out of the compartment door with her trunks and other belongings, when Draco grabbed her wrists. She looked at him with only surprise and fear written across her face. Apparently she was not so lucky as to leave this unscathed.
"Not so fast Weasley! Since you seen to like my compartment so much, I think you should stay here for the rest of the ride." Draco saw the color drain once more from her face, and he knew that he was winning the battle.
"And why should I stay? So that you can torment me further? I don't think so Malfoy, I'm out of here,"
"Virginia—That is your name right? You wound me. I only want to talk to you. There's no need for petty fights and bickering," Draco knew he was laying it on thick, but it was a perfect way to get back at Ron. He would be furious to find his little sister had spent the whole ride with none other than Draco Malfoy.
"No need for petty fights? That's funny, you get into them often enough with Ron and Harry!"
"That's because your brother is a prat, Harry Potter walks around like he owns the place. Which doesn't surprise me the way that old coot Dumbledore lets him get away with everything,"
"Harry—"
"Doesn't matter. Now get in here before some other Slytherin sees you at the back of the train,"
With that Malfoy knew he had won. Virginia dragged her trunk back into the room and sat down with a 'Hmph'. Attitude or not, it would be worth the ride with the youngest Weasley just to get a rise out of her brother.
Author Notes: Hey, those who wanted an intense argument with lots of insults between Draco and Ginny, I hate to disappoint you but there is not one. There could be one in the next chapter if people can add some insults and things for Draco and Ginny to do in their reviews. Except if someone comes up with some I cannot do much.
