VII. Ginny's Mission

Friday morning. Exactly a week after her first run-in encounter with Draco Malfoy.

Ginny was once again standing in front of her mirror examining herself, but this time around she didn't mind showing off her famous 'assets.' She knew if she wanted to grab Draco Malfoy's attention she needed to be bold and seductive to boot! Well after being raised with six brothers Ginny learned a thing or two about guys and the way their minds worked: they are often after girls either for (a) their body, (b) their beauty, OR (c) sex; it was rare to find a guy who was after a girl simply because of her brains alone. Oh no, in this day and age most men are only after sex and who was she to not follow with the current trend? She has been considered a 'sex object' practically since her fourth year, when her breasts decided to grow larger than the rest of her, so why not play up to it?

Smiling broadly at her reflection, she pinched her cheeks to put some colour to her face and with her chin held high strutted out of her room. She could hear the hustle and bustle of her housemates down in the common room, most of them in a rush to get to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Perfect. she thought with a huge grin plastered on her elfin-like face. She slowly walked down the stone steps leading to the girl's dormitory keeping her chin held high and a welcoming smile plastered on her face. She knew the instant the boys noticed her coming down the stairs. The entire room suddenly quieted, then...

"Virginia Weasley, what in fuck's name are you wearing?!" Ron's horrified voice boomed around the suddenly quiet and still Gryffindor common room.

Ginny stopped at the bottom step of the circular staircase and gave her brother an innocent look, batting her eyelashes at him and smiling her sweet, genuine smile.

"What are you talking about, Ronald Weasley?" she questioned with that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth smile on her face still in tact.

Of course she knew what her brother was questioning her about. Today of all days she chose to wear make-up (something to enhance her already pretty face, at least that was what her roommates told her when she asked them the night before if she should wear make-up or go au naturel--the verdict was for her to wear a bit of make-up) and her skirt rode higher than usual (she had to dig through the very bottom of her trunk to find an old school skirt that came about midway down her thighs). For her blouse she chose another old top that hugged her body even tighter and left a few buttons undone, exposing some cleavage for the benefit of her numerous admirers. Her robe was another matter all together. She was wearing one of her recent second-hand bought robes but did a little altering to it; instead of the robe clasp meeting right across her chest, she lowered it a bit so she would be exposing a bit of her undone blouse top.

"Go back upstairs and change." Ron demanded, agitated at what his sister was wearing, not to mention having to watch his other male housemates ogle at his little sister like she was some piece of flesh on sale at some flea market! He turned angrily to his other housemates and bellowed at them, "Go on you lot! There's nothing to see here! Go down to the Great Hall and have your fill of your favourite breakfast food!" he barked before turning back to face his sister, glaring at her and willing Ginny to march back upstairs and change.

"No, Ron." Ginny said firmly, crossing her arms over her chest, "There's no way I'm going back upstairs to change. This is what I put on and this is what I'm going to wear down for breakfast and for the rest of the day!" she insisted.

"But Ginny..." Ron whined, crossing the distance between him and his sister. He quickly surveyed her from head to foot then back up again, gulping audibly when he noticed just how much cleavage his sister was showing off. God, if their mother ever finds out about this Ginny would be sent back home to the Burrow in no time at all! "Gin, please." he begged.

"No." she huffed and pushed her brother aside, passing by an awestruck Harry who's jaw was hanging open at the sight of her. She flashed him a smile and walked past him. She saw Hermione standing by the doorway and smiled at her, "Morning, Mione. Let's go down for breakfast." she greeted cheerfully and hooked her arm with her friend's and dragged the awestruck Muggle-born with her out through the portrait hole.

"Merlin have mercy!" Ginny heard Ron mutter inside the common room before the portrait of the Fat Lady closed behind her.

The Great Hall, usually abuzz with noise from students, became quiet as soon as Ginny Weasley appeared at the large doorway with Hermione Granger at her side. She did a quick survey of the place and smiled when she saw that not only were her male housemates the ones gawking at her but every male member of the other houses as well. She let her gaze travel down the long length of the Slytherin table until she found who she was looking for.

Draco Malfoy sat sandwiched between his two large bodyguards, Crabbe and Goyle, his spoon arrested in mid-air as his gaze remain transfixed on her. Ginny's grin broaden when she noticed how Draco looked shocked at finding her standing at the doorway clad in what would have been a slutty attire, but at least she caught his attention.

"C'mon Mione, let's go grab something to eat." Ginny said enthusiastically and led the way towards the Gryffindor table.

On their way there Ginny received quiet a few appreciative whistles from the ogling males they passed by. One Hufflepuff even had the gall to get up from his seat and asked Ginny out on a date the next time they go to Hogsmeade. Ginny smiled sweetly at him, asked for his name then gently declined his invitation. She doesn't want to date anybody just yet. Her dating others will just have to come later not earlier.

Finally they reached their destination and Hermione was more than glad she was finally amongst friends. Once Ginny was settled beside her she quickly turned her attention to her friend and started hurtling question after question at her friend, starting with: "What the hell's wrong with you, Virginia?"

Ginny frowned and gave her friend a quizzical look, "What are you talking about, Hermione?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow and eyed her attire questioningly, "Something's up or else you wouldn't be parading around school wearing what you chose to wear today!"

"Oh Hermione, lighten up, will you?" Ginny chuckled, shaking her mop of slightly-curled red hair that bounced a bit at the slightest movement of her head.

"How can I friggin' lighten up when you're acting...differently!"

Ginny made a face at her friend then, "Oh Hermione, just let me be, alright? There's no harm in what I'm doing." Yeah, right. Are you positively sure about that, Virginia? that small, annoying voice called conscience smirked at her. Ginny ignored it, of course, and concentrated on her agenda for today. She already had her mind set on her next course of action and she wouldn't let her brother or her brother's friends to make her change her mind about it.

Hermione was at a loss for words, but she'd be damned if she let Ginny have a last say in this. But what could she possibly say to Ginny to change her mind about this whole thing?

"Ginny--"

"Look," Ginny cut Hermione off before she could say another word, "I know you're worried that I look like a tramp with the way I made myself look today, but can't you just accept it as it is? I'm on a mission which I can't possibly disclose with you or with anybody."

"Is it a personal vendetta on somebody who spurned you perhaps?" Hermione asked hopefully.

Ginny frowned at her. "Nothing like that. Now stop with the questions and let's eat! You do know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? So we better eat lots and get ready for our first class."

~*~

Draco couldn't help his jaw from dropping on his bowl of cereal the moment Ginny Weasley made her grand entrance into the Great Hall. She commanded he attention of every red-hot-blooded male crowding the noisy Great Hall, holding it until she made her way towards her designated seat at the long Gryffindor table. Some gutsy Hufflepuff prat even got the guts to get up and off his seat and asked Ginny out.

Draco's hand clenched tightly on his spoon as he watched the scene unfold. Ginny gave the love struck sixth year one of her girly, come-hither smiles, flirted with him a little before he saw her shook her shiny mop of red hair. His heart did a little song and dance when he realized that Ginny actually turned down the Hufflepuff's invitation. He was also weirded-out by his reaction to Ginny's decline of an invitation to go on a date, but he was happy nevertheless that Ginny Weasley wouldn't be going out with anybody--yet.

And it damn better well stay that way. his mind hissed as he stared at the alluring sixth year Gryffindor redhead. Now why would you want the youngest Weasley offspring to remain single, huh, Draco Malfoy? his conscience questioned him maliciously. Draco frowned and ignored that nagging voice questioning him of his intention.

He doesn't know why he was glad that Ginny declined the Hufflepuff's invitation. He doesn't know why he was ready to bend his spoon into two every time he catches somebody looking at the petite redhead like he wanted to devour her. Just like the way you wanted you lose yourself in the soft tightness between her thighs? his conscience mocked him. Draco's scowl deepen and now he has lost his appetite. His brain kept on egging him on that breakfast was now forgotten. He needed to get out of the Great Hall and fast or he wouldn't have a moment's peace, not with his conscience mocking him and goading him about his true intentions towards Ginny Weasley.

"I'm outta here." he told Crabbe and Goyle as he pushed himself off his seat and walked out of the Great Hall, passing a discreet glance over at the Gryffindor table and caught sight of that annoyingly pretty redhead watching him leave.

~*~

Ginny was busy pouring her bowl with cereal and milk when a movement from across the room caught her attention. She lifted her head and saw the blond haired Slytherin seventh year boy got up from his seat, addressed something to his lackeys then headed out.

Now was her chance.

She waited a couple of minutes until Draco cleared the Great Hall then turned to Hermione and excused herself.

"Where are you going, Gin? You haven't even finished your breakfast yet." she pointed out.

"That's alright. I'm not really that hungry. And I just remembered I forgot something in my room." she took one last scoop of cereal and ate it then got up, "I'll just see you later." she told her and grabbed her book bag. She speed-walked out of the Great Hall and first looked to her left then to her right, wondering where Draco might have gone.

He couldn't have disappeared that fast! her mind said irritably. She remained rooted where she stood for a while, wondering which way she should go. She didn't know what class Draco has first thing in the morning so she doesn't know which direction he took.

"Damn, I missed him." she hissed under her breath, irritated that she gave him a couple of minutes head-start.

"Looking for someone, Weasel?"

Ginny jumped when she heard Draco's voice from behind her. She quickly turned and faced the smirking Slytherin. She couldn't stop her heart from skipping a beat at seeing him up close. Today he chose to wear a white ribbed muscle-shirt underneath his school robe. She gulped audibly when she noticed his rippling six-pack being hugged by his shirt. God he's gotta learn to wear proper school uniform! He's starting to become a menace to society with the way he struts around school looking so might damn fine! she thought to herself and forced her gaze to look up and meet his.

Jutting her chin high into the air and raised an eyebrow and replied flatly, "What made you think I was looking for someone?"

Draco raised an eyebrow, "Why else would you be running out of the Great Hall and looking here and there if you weren't searching for someone? Or maybe you were waiting for someone..." he said maliciously.

Ginny rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her midriff just underneath her breasts. Her action caught Draco's attention as his gaze was then riveted down to her chest.

Oh typical male reaction. she thought, Cross your arms over your midriff, push your boobs up a bit and show some skin--preferably some cleavage--and his eyes goes there! she mentally rolled her eyes at him but didn't bother uncrossing her arms over her midriff. She squared her shoulders some more and jutted her chest out before saying, "So what if I am to meet with someone out here? It's not as if it's any of your business who I rendezvous with, is it?" she raised an eyebrow and willed him to lift his gaze from her chest to her face.

Draco slowly pulled his gaze away from Ginny Weasley's alluring assets and rested his cool gray eyes on her lovely face. Hell, why does she have to have a killer body and a face to match with that said killer body?! Shit, what is wrong with you, Malfoy?! This is Weasley's sister you're ogling at here. his brain reminded him sternly, but Draco was already way past listening to his brain and instead did what he has been wanting to do every since he first held her in his arms.

He closed the distance between them ever so slowly, his eyes glued to hers, willing her to look at him longer as he raised his hand and brushed some of her curled locks off her cheek. Cupping her face he gently pulled her towards him, the distance between them a mere inches away. He tilted his head to the side opposite from the direction Ginny's head was tilted. And inch by breath-taking inch he lowered his blond head to hers.

Ginny's whole body was stiff from anticipation. He was going to kiss her! Draco Malfoy was going to kiss her and wasn't doing anything to stop it! Well duh! her conscience sneered at her, You're stupid if you say you didn't want him to kiss you, Virginia!

Draco's breath was fanning Ginny's face, his mouth a mere inches from hers and the gap was rapidly closing until...

"Get your damn filthy hands off my sister, Malfoy!" Ron bellowed from the entryway of the Great Hall.

Both Draco and Ginny whipped their head to the direction of Ron, but neither one of them moved away from each other. Ron angrily stalked towards his sister and his worse nemesis. Ginny quickly cast a quick look up at Draco's face and smiled, saying under her breath, "Saved by the bell." she wiggled her hips against him, somehow the distance of their bodies seemed to have closed when Draco's lips was slowly inching to connect with hers and now he could feel the soft, lush curve of Ginny's petite body and growled under his breath.

He glared down at Ginny, his arm around her waist tightened a bit then he let her go, muttering under his breath, "Saved by the bell this time, Virginia." his hand curved down and tapped her butt cheek, making Ginny yelped out in surprise and glare at him.

Draco merely smirked and winked at her before casting one last glance at Ron and Harry following behind him. He gave the two a mocking salute before turning back to Ginny, gave her one last once-over and stalked off.

Ginny remained rooted where she was, her gaze following Draco's departing back and ignored her brother's irritated sermon as he approached her. Her gaze remained transfixed on Draco's broad back, a grin hovering on her lips and she touched her lips. He wanted to kiss her. She giggled and turned to face the wrath of Ron.
