AN: slight slash warning: this has a girl/girl kiss, but it's really not a big deal, I promise! But if you get completely squicked out about that sort of thing, you probably should skip some of this chapter ^_^;;

~Chapter two~

"Oliphia… would you ever kiss a girl?"

"What?"

"Would you ever kiss a girl?"

She giggled haltingly. "I don't know… why do you ask?"

"Just curious…"

She shoved him playfully. "Yeah right, just curious… please, you probably just want to get off on me telling you which girls I'd like to fuck."

He shrugged. "Well, yeah." He smirked at her.

"Well, it's not gonna happen."

"What, afraid of new ideas?"

"No…"

"Well, then why wouldn't you kiss a girl?"

"I didn't say I definitely wouldn't…"

"So you would?"

"Well… I guess… in the right--"

"Good. So… who?"

"What d'you mean who? I've never thought about it…" She giggled again, trailing a finger up his chest.

"Well, think about it now… if you had to choose one girl…?" He clasped her hand, bringing it to his lips.

She thought for a moment, sighing dramatically. "I guess… oh I don't know! You obviously have something in mind…" She giggled as his head bent to nip at her neck.

"What about Ginny…?"

"Ginny? Ginny Weasley? My brother's great unrequited love?"

"Yes."

"Well, what about her?"

"What would you think of kissing her?"

"…I don't know…"

"C'mon… think about it for a minute…"

Oliphia rolled her eyes. She could feel his breath on her neck and wished he would pay more attention to that than to the prospect of her kissing Ginny Weasley.

"Well, she's cute I guess…"

"So you wouldn't mind kissing her?"

"I don't know… I guess not…"

"So why don't you?" Another nip on her neck…

"Why don't I what?"

"Why don't you kiss her?"

"I don't know…"

"You said you would…"

"Well, I only meant…"

"Well you should follow your heart, you know, do what you want…"

"But I don't--" His finger pressed against her lips.

"Don't deny yourself something you want, Oli."

"Oh shut up, Blaise!"

"I'm serious! If you want to kiss Ginny, you should. Don't let anyone step on your dreams."

"No one is stepping on my dreams, Zabini, I don't--" She was beginning to get frustrated.

"You said you wanted to kiss Ginny, and I think you should."

"You would think that, wouldn't you?"

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"When are you going to do it?"

"Do what?"

"Kiss Ginny!"

"I--"

"How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, you have potions with her right before lunch, right? You can get her alone in the hallway."

"But I--"

"And I can come down from Transfiguration just in time to see it."

"Blaise!"

"What?"

"I don't want--" But her words were cut off as he kissed her lips fiercely.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" his eyes glittered mischievously.

She sighed. "Nothing."

"Hey Ginny, wait a sec…" Oliphia was rarely uncertain about anything, but today was certainly a rare day.

Ginny turned, a bit puzzled. She recognized the girl, Draco Malfoy's sister… Oliphia…? Yes, she was sure that was her name.

"Yes…?"

Oliphia's eyes shifted around the dim corridor of the dungeons. The last students were still filing out of the potions classroom nearby. "Uh… Draco wants you to go to Hogsmeade with him…" she said hesitantly, giving a small smile.

Ginny blushed. "Oh…"

The last Slytherin and Gryffindor exited the classroom, finally. Oliphia sighed and rolled her eyes slightly, registering Blaise's smirk in a dark corner. She took advantage of Ginny's momentary fluster and suddenly pushed her close against the wall and pressed her lips to hers for a few seconds, barely long enough for the other girl to start struggling. Oliphia stepped back and wiped the back of her hand over her mouth and glanced sourly towards Blaise's corner. Then her eyes went wide. Next to Blaise--who was doubled over in laughter--was Draco, starting towards her angrily. She huffed past him and pushed Blaise over onto the stone floor before running up the stairs, her cheeks flaming.

"Are you alright?" Draco asked Ginny, concerned.

She nodded, blankly.

Draco glanced harshly at Blaise whose laughter had subsided somewhat due to his push, and was now sitting on the floor against the wall smirking. Draco looked back at Ginny apologetically. "He… he must've dared her or something…"

Ginny nodded.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine… Um, did you really want to ask me to Hogsmeade?"

Draco blinked at her for a moment, then blushed faintly. "Did she say that?"

Ginny nodded again, a hint of a smile playing over her pink lips.

"Well… uh…" He swallowed. "Would you say yes?"

Ginny smiled widely.
