Chapter Seven Sweet Feisty Redhead
Dumbledore tossed a handful of powder into his fireplace.
"Severus Snape!" he exclaimed. The head of Snape popped up.
"You rang?" he asked.
"Ah yes, please come to my office. There are matters that need discussing."
Severus nodded and with a *pop* he disappeared.
* * * * * * * * *
Severus sat in Dumbledore's office, waiting for the man to speak. So far, he had been offered a lemon drop and watched as Albus ate it and consequently got it stuck in his teeth. Albus was having a bit of trouble with anything that required moving his jaw. He brandished his wand and mumbled something. The next thing Severus knew, Albus was smiling.
"Well, lets get on with things, shall we?" the headmaster smiled. Severus nodded, slightly amused.
"Well, this is about Miss Weasley," Albus began, and Severus raised his eyebrow. What concern of his were damn Gryffindors? Why was Minerva not called as well?
"You see, she seems to have had a spat with Mister Potter and, well, last she was seen, she was wandering off with young Mister Malfoy."
Severus stiffened. Draco Malfoy? What did he want with a "damn muggle loving Gryffindor," as he so often put it.
"Now, Severus, you know the Malfoy's better than anyone..." he trailed off thoughtfully.
"Albus," Severus began, "I can honesty say, I have no clue. Malfoy was always saying he hated the Weasley's. Possibly he wants to use her as a way to Potter, as the wounds are still fresh. There may be some interest in the girl concerning what happened in her first year."
The two men sat in thought for a moment.
"Well, Severus. I must ask you to keep an eye out tonight. You are the best at what you do, but I must ask you to take concern for the young Miss Weasley's life."
"Of course, sir." Severus stood and bowed out.

Draco eyed the feisty red head perched on his window seat. He stood and stepped towards her. She was staring coldly at the ground. He reached out his hand and brushed her hair. Ginny looked up at him. Draco's hand caressed the soft milky skin of her cheek and traced her jaw line.
"What a brave girl you are, sweet," he murmured softly. He sat next to her and she placed her hand over his. He leaned in slowly, his deep gaze seemingly penetrating her soul. She felt almost naked, but somehow, not in a bad way. (This terribly confused her, but she didn't dwell on it.) Draco brushed his lips to her cheek. A bell tolled in the distance. He leaned closer and her lips were at his neck. She could feel his breath on her ear.
"Supper, m'lady," he said, pulling back. He stood up and stepped towards the door. Ginny sat on the window seat, not quite sure what just happened.
"You can go into your room and change into something more appropriate and clean up a bit," Draco signaled down the hall, "though you must please be quick about it." Ginny nodded and walked swiftly out of the room not taking a glance back in his direction.
He watched her red hair flying behind her and thought of how strong yet delicate she was. A woman, ever puzzling. He left this train of thoughts and quickly prepared for supper.
Down the hall, Ginny was putting on new green dress robes. They were formal, but not overly so. Just enough for a nice dinner. She thought that they would do splendidly. At the vanity, she washed her face so it shone pink and fresh, and she brushed her hair.
"Ahh, you look lovely, my dear," sighed the mirror. Ginny grinned.
"Thank you very much."
"Hurry along, the Master doesn't like to be kept waiting." Ginny nodded and put down her brush. She hurried out the door and nearly collided with Draco. He was dressed very sharp with dark smoky dress robes that seemed to bring out his eyes. He was about to sneer, but his bitter countenance faded.
"Walk with grace and courtesy, sweet," he said. Ginny nodded. Draco offered her his arm and she took it gracefully. Together they headed down the hall to the dining room. As they strolled down the halls, Ginny could here murmuring and soft exclamations.
"Who is that beauty with the young Draco?"
"Look at that red hair, couldn't be a ... Weasley, could it?"
"No... well... one wouldn't think so, but who else has hair like that!"
Ginny looked around and noticed the portraits "discreetly" pointing and talking about her and Draco.
"Oh, would the bloody lot of you just shut up!" Draco said, quite exasperated. Ginny suppressed a giggle, but not a small smile.
"Think that's funny?"
"Only a little, Draco," she smiled and they continued on.
