~*~*~*~*~*~
XIV. Detention Escapade
Draco wasn't in his best of moods come Monday afternoon after his last class of the day. It didn't do him much good to be stuck being partners with Granger in a Transfiguration project; it wasn't even his fault that McGonagall caught him trying to hit bushy-haired Mudblood with a balled-up piece of parchment in her class. The damn girl started it! First she came into class and deliberately shoved him aside; obviously she was ticked off at him and he knew what it was she was ticked off about: Ginny. Somehow nosy Mudblood found out about his escapade the night before with the youngest weasel and was pissed off at him because of it. She made damn sure he knew she was on to him and that little incident before class she started was a sign she was willing to battle head-to-head with him.
Oh crap! First Ginny sending me mixed signals and now this. What's wrong with these Gryffindor kids?! he mentally asked himself as he trudged back to the Slytherin lair. He was about to disappear down the stairs when he heard someone call his name from somewhere above him. He titled his blond head back and looked up to find Potter and Weasley leaning over the second floor staircase banister.
"What the hell do you want?" he asked irately. He has had about enough from the Awesome Threesome for one day. Well, his first run-in with one of the trio was with Granger in Transfiguration at the end of the day, but that was enough to ruin his entire day; he landed a detention because of that silly Mudblood for crying out loud!
"A word with you, if you don't mind." Ron answered smirking down at him.
Draco raised an eyebrow, "Look, if it's about your damn sister I didn't do anything to her, alright? Hell, I hardly even saw her today!"
"We know that." Harry answered this time, "But we still want to talk to you nevertheless."
Oh bugger. he thought savagely, "What about? And if you two knuckleheads want to talk, I suggest you get your arses down here because seriously, getting a stiff neck because of you two ain't worth two shits!"
"Why don't you get your arse up here instead." Ron countered.
Draco smirked, "Yeah, right. You're the one who wanted to talk. You get your arse down here." he replied smugly, lowering his head down and giving it a clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation to relax his suddenly tensing muscles that got strained from looking up at Potter and Weasley. Without looking back up at the two Gryffindor looking down at him he said, "I'll give you two minutes to get your arses down here, after that I'm gone and this little talk you wanted to have will just have to wait." he knew his bluff might mean nothing to those two jerks, but he gave them two minutes anyway.
He was counting down to the very last second until he heard two pairs of footfalls scraping the floor, coming to a halt behind him. Lazily he turned, arms crossed over his chest and his head cocked to the side as he looked first at the red-haired Weasley who stood almost the same height as him, but he was shy an inch and a half, then Draco let his gray eyes move to the messy haired, dark-haired Potter who came up just mid-way to Weasley's ear (a/n: as I am not entirely sure how tall Harry and Ron are, I am just guesstimating here. I know from the books that Ron's a pretty tall kid, so I'm sticking with that. As for Draco...well, I like my men tall :::laughs::: so he'll remain TALLER than Harry and Ron--so don't be complaining! this is my fic and this is MY DRACO! :::evil laugh::: I wish! anyways, you peeps know what I mean :::winks:::).
"So, you two must really be wanting to get some questions answered." he drawled out with a lazy yawn, "Very well, carry on with this so-called 'talk' you insisted we have. But let it be known I already statted my case: I didn't do anything to your," he pointed his index finger accusingly at Ron, his gray eyes looked like tiny slits on his face, "damn sister."
"Yeah, yeah. We'll see about that, Malfoy." Ron snorted.
"See about what?" he asked irately, looking from Ron to Harry then back to Ron. "Look, I am not fooling around with your sister, Weasel, nor do I have any intention of doing such stupid thing!" he denied vehemently, but a voice at the back of his head was singing a different song. Oh really? Well you've obviously fooled around with the little weasel a couple of times and liked it a lot.
"You know, Malfoy, I wouldn't have a hard time believing you if only you weren't as cruel and as vile as you have been for the past seven years. Nevertheless, whether you swear on your mother's life or whomever's life that you aren't fooling around with my sister, I would still have to wonder." Ron said in a condescending tone, "You see, Friday night she came back to our house dorm crying. Of course as a concerned brother I was worried, but she wouldn't talk until Harry mentioned that he left my sister with you." he looked at the blond haired Slytherin pointedly, watching carefully for any reaction from him. But Draco kept his cool.
"So?" he asked nonchalantly, appearing to be slightly bored at having this conversation.
"So?!" Ron boomed, irritation crossing his freckled face, "Harry left my sister with you and she came back crying. Now that makes one very concerned brother wonder what exactly happened between you two, and no, I don't believe Ginny's excuse."
Draco arched an eyebrow, "And what did your precious little sister tell you that made her cry, hm?"
"She said you two exchanged words. Insults, to be more precise, and she did manage until your insults were too much to bear that she was left with no choice but to go back to our dorm and cry her eyes out!"
Hell, Weasley, your sister and I didn't exchange words! But very clever, Virginia, making up a very acceptable excuse, but not acceptable enough as far as your brother's concerned. he thought to himself before saying out loud, "Then that only proves your sister is a sissy."
"She is not a sissy!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Draco let out an over exaggerated yawn and stretched his arms over his head, "Look here Weasel, I am tired and I most certainly am not looking forward to serving detention for McGonagall tonight. If this is all you've got to say to me then I bid you both goodbye." he turned his back to the two Gryffindor male and walked down the stairs, but he stopped after taking only a couple of steps down and looked over his shoulder, "Oh yeah, tell your mudblood friend, Granger, thanks for getting me into detention." he sneered then jogged the rest of the way down the stairs.
~*~
"Alright Mr. Malfoy, make sure to make this classroom spic-and-span. I will come back for you in an hour, I'm sure you'll be done scrubbing the floors, arranging the tables, polishing the table tops and the chairs, and basically put everything in order in this classroom by then without the help of your wand." Professor McGonagall told him sternly from the doorway of her Transfiguration classroom.
"What?!" Draco looked aghast, "But Professor, you can't possibly expect me to do normal labour without the help of my wand!" he whined.
"Yes, I believe you can do manual labour, Mr. Malfoy." McGonagall stated coolly, "I'll be back for you in an hour." she reminded before closing the door after her.
Draco knew it would be pointless to argue with McGonagall so against his liking, he grabbed the bucket filled with water, took it to the front of the classroom where he would begin scrubbing the damn floors, then he will proceed to moving the desks, polishing them then he'll do the rest of what McGonagall asked him to do. He just went down on all fours when he heard a voice, a soft, feminine voice, spoke from somewhere inside the classroom.
"I suggest you start by polishing the tables and chairs first."
Draco's head quickly snapped up after hearing the voice. He straightened up from his position on the floor and moved his blond head here and there in search of the voice's owner, but no one seemed to appear in sight.
"Who's there?" he asked out loud.
"Don't tell me the brave Draco Malfoy is scared." the female voice taunted.
"Scared my arse!" he spat, "Show yourself!" he ordered more sternly.
"And what if I chose not to show myself, what then?" the voice challenged.
"Then leave me alone! I have only an hour to finish my chore and I don't want to be pestered by an annoying voice like you." he felt like an idiot for talking to himself, but whomever the voice belonged to was bothering him.
"Oh really?" the voice ridiculed.
"Yes. And I mean it."
Draco heard some grumblings from and some rustling of cloth somewhere near the doorway. He kept his hawk-like gaze focused on the doorway until finally he saw a flash of something read being revealed from underneath what he suspected was an Invisibility Cloak. The redhead seem to take her time disentangling herself from the cloak until all but her legs were visible to Draco's gaze.
"Weasley!" he said Ginny's last name with contempt lacing her tone, "What the hell are you doing here?" he nearly snarled at her as he crossed the front of the classroom to where she stood.
Ginny's head snapped up when she heard Draco approaching and braced herself.
"Why? Is it a crime to be here in a classroom?" she asked flippantly.
"At night it is." he snarled, towering over her now as Ginny pulled her head back until she was looking at Draco Malfoy straight in the eye.
"Says who?"
"Says me. And Filch. And McGonagall. And Dumbledore. And all those pesky teachers and prefects skulking around school at night making sure that students remain in their damn dormitories."
"Says you, huh?" she snorted, controlling herself from bursting out laughing, "Oh Ferret Boy you're so funny sometimes it's unbelievable!" she placed a hand on his shoulder, making Draco stiffen under her touch, as she let out a very good laugh, amusing herself at the thought of Draco being funny and all don't-break-school-rules. And to think he was a Slytherin!
"Shut-up, Red." he shrugged her hand off his shoulder in annoyance and went back to the front of the classroom where he left the bucket of water and soap on the floor by McGongall's desk, "Go back to your dormitory and let me do my detention in peace." he snarled over his shoulder and went down on all fours once again, grabbing the scrub submerged in water and soap.
But Ginny became her stubborn self and remained rooted where he left him, standing by the doorway of the classroom, the Invisibility Cloak pooled around her ankles as she followed Draco with her eyes.
"Why are you serving detention anyway?" she asked, "And I still say scrub the floors later after you've dusted everything else and moved everything around. Trust me, Malfoy, for someone who has helped do some housework at home, I know what I'm talking about." she reminded him and, leaving the Invisibility Cloak by the doorway, she marched up to Draco and kicked the bucket aside slightly, earning her action a snarl and glare from the blond haired Slytherin.
"Mind your own business, Red. And ask your good Mudblood friend why I'm serving detention." he replied and grabbed the bucket once again, but Ginny stood before him and the bucket, annoying Draco even more as his hour slowly ticked by and he has yet to start his task. "Weasley..." he hissed under his breath.
Ginny ignored the warning she heard in his tone. She was far too intrigued to find out why McGonagall gave him detention when, as far as she knows, Draco Malfoy never served any detention from any teachers at all; he was a poster boy for good student (at this Ginny mentally gagged), so why was he down on all fours on the floor of their Transfiguration classroom with a bucket of soap and water before him and a rug to dust off tabletops and polish chairs and whatnots?
"Speak, Ferret Boy." she commanded.
"I am not a dog you can command to speak, roll over, jump, sit and whatever as you please, Red." he snarled, straightening to his full six foot three frame, towering once again over Ginny's five foot three height.
"Oh really?" she challenged, neither perplexed nor threatened by Draco's larger frame. "Look, all I'm trying to do is help make your work easier. If you can't accept my inputs, then it's up to you. Scrub the floors now and dust the tables later; you'll be re-scrubbing the floors once again after that anyway since you'll dropping the dusts and whatnots off the tabletops and countertops on to your scrubbed floor."
Damn but she had a point there. But he'd be damned if he acknowledged she was right, as usual. He hates it when Ginny gets under his skin. Why does she have to be everywhere these days? Couldn't she just disappear into the shadows like before? Oh yeah, right. Like you'll be happy with that. a voice at the back of his head sneered, You'll be missing the redhead like crazy once she makes herself scarce! Draco scowled at the mention of him missing Ginny Weasley when she cowers back into her old shell.
"Well thanks but no thanks, Weasel. I can manage on my own." he replied smugly.
"Fine." Ginny raised her hands in surrender and stepped back from him, "It's your choice. I'm just trying to help, you know." she turned her back to him and started walking towards the doors, midway to where she left her borrowed Invisibility Cloak from Harry (or should we say stolen from Harry) she looked over her shoulder and met Malfoy's gaze, "You still haven't told me why Hermione got you in detention." she insisted.
"I already told you, Red. Ask Granger." he snarled and grabbed the rug nearby to dust the tabletops and countertops.
Ginny raised an eyebrow when she saw what Draco was doing. So, the stubborn git's following my advice. Good for him. she mentally applauded him, but her facial expression remained neutral.
"What are you doing?" she asked innocently, her eyes following every move Draco was making.
"Are you still here?" he sounded quite bored already. He lifted some of the paraphernalia adorning the countertops of McGonagall's classroom (a/n: I am not quite sure exactly how McGonagall's classroom is setup, and basing from what I saw in the first two HP movies...well, I'll just make up my own classroom, hehehehe) and started dusting away.
"I haven't left yet because you haven't given me a valid answer to my queary." she pointed out.
"I already told you to ask that damn Mudblood friend of yours why I was sent to detention by McGonagall."
"Why don't you want to tell me yourself?" she insisted.
"Because I haven't got the time, that's why. And Weasel, you're wasting my time. Already I lost about fifteen minutes of the hour McGonagall gave me to clean up her classroom, so bugger off, Red."
Ginny would've listened to him and buggered off, but she didn't want to. She was having an inner turmoil against herself; part of her wanted to leave and let Draco finish his detention alone while another part of her wanted to stay and watch him carry on with his detention. Besides, it was still fairly early for her to return to the common room; nobody would be missing her, not yet anyway. Ron was still fuming mad with her. Hermione was disappointed for some reason. And Harry...well, she and Harry weren't in speaking terms at the moment. She was still too damn upset with him for betraying her the way he did.
"Need some help, Ferret Boy?" she found herself offering before she could stop herself.
Draco's ears perked up after hearing Ginny's offer. He stopped polishing a bronzed statue of an animal and slowly pivoted to look at the redheaded girl standing in the middle of the room.
"Did I just hear you right?"
Too late to back out now, Ginny girl. a voice inside her head warned. Left with no other choice, she took a deep breath and bared her pearly white teeth at a stunned Draco, "I believe I just offered my assistance to you, Mr. Malfoy. Now, it's up to you either to accept or deny my offer. But considering the amount of time you obviously have wasted already, I suggest you lean towards accepting my offer. After all, two heads are better than one, but in our case, four hands are better than two." she smiled cheekily. What the hell am I saying?! she was stunned at her audacity, goading Draco to accept her offer and throw her further into spending so much time with him, not that was has any complaints at all, but she wanted to take things slowly at first, play the waiting game for crying out loud!
Draco raised an eyebrow at her offer. Tempting, Red, very tempting offer indeed. he mentally mused, but why would she want to help him serve his detention? Doesn't she hate him?
"Alright Red, what kinda game are you playing?" he asked suspiciously, narrowing his gray eyes at her as he tried to decipher what she was up to. She can't be offering her services to him out of the goodness of her heart!
"Game?" she asked coyly, slowly walking towards where he stood. "What ever the hell are you talking about, Ferret Boy? I am playing no games with you." her grin was enchanting, menacing even, and something tells Draco he better watch out or he'll be sucked in to a void so deep he wouldn't know what just happened once he got out.
"Stop that this instant, Weasley." she was beginning to scare him, but why should he be scared? She was just a little girl, is she not? But something about Virginia Weasley made Draco nervous all over. He knew he can't resist her; she was temptation on legs, but there was something else about this annoying, but extremely attractive, redhead Gryffindor that attracts him to her. He enjoyed those few stolen moments of theirs together, and not just the snogging moments although he wanted those the most. No, he was starting to enjoy, and miss, their flirtatious banters, their head-to-head sparring, and the battle of the most stubborn.
Stop that, Malfoy! his conscience scolded him, She's a Weasley, for crying out loud! You can't be more than just physically attracted to her! it taunted, but Draco was ignoring it. Whether she was a Weasley or not, he was starting to get attracted to her.
"Stop what, Draco?" her innocence spread all over her elfin-like face.
Damn, she was too hard to resist!
~*~
Ginny slowly flexed her muscles, undoing the knots on her shoulders after spending almost thirty minutes down on all floors alongside Draco Malfoy scrubbing the floors of Transfiguration classroom. Rotating her neck, she pushed herself back on her feet, her arms reaching over her head as she stretched, standing on tiptoes to stretch her tired legs as well. Draco was still finishing his section of the classroom and Ginny has already finished hers.
She couldn't believe he relented to her and agreed to accept her help. They decided to split the chores; Draco started arranging the tables and chairs, dusting them off, polishing them as well while Ginny dusted and polished the stuff on the countertops and even McGonagall's desk. As soon as Draco done arranging the tables and chairs he began scrubbing the floors, starting from the doorway leading back towards the front of the class. When Ginny finally got caught up with dusting she conjured up another bucket and scrub and went down on all fours to help Draco finish cleaning the classroom in record time. She glanced at her wristwatch and noted that they have a couple of minutes left before Draco's hour was up. She magically put away her own bucket and scrubber and walked towards the back desk where Draco put Harry's Invisibility Cloak earlier before he started scrubbing the floors.
"See, I told you four hands are better than two." she said smugly as she stood admiring their work.
Draco finally finished scrubbing his part of the classroom and pulled himself up on his feet once again. He did a few stretching to let his blood circulation flow smoothly and turned to the girl who spoke standing at the other end of the classroom. As much as he hated to admit it, he did appreciate having another pair of hands help him out with his task.
"Yeah, yeah." he mumbled and picked up the bucket that was set by his feet. "Thanks anyway, Red."
"Ah, such gratitude, Ferret Boy." she mocked, unfolding the cloak.
"Well I didn't ask for your help to begin with, Weasel." he reminded her, "You offered to help."
"Yeah, I did offer my services to you, Malfoy, but it was up to you to either accept or deny my offer." she reminded him. "And you accepted, so don't be sounding all haughty and whatnot." she threw the cloak over her shoulders, closing it at the front until it was only her head that was visible. "Well Ferret Boy, it has been fun, but now I must--" the rest of Ginny's sentence was cut off when they heard the door handles turn and McGonagall appeared on the other side. "Oh shit!" Ginny whispered and quickly ducked underneath the cloak just in time before McGonagall looked at her direction.
"Mr. Malfoy." Professor McGonagall called in her usual nasal-toned voice, "All done?" she inquired.
Draco cast a quick glance at where he last saw Ginny then looked back at his Transfiguration teacher, "Yes, Professor." he nodded. He carried the bucket towards him and stood by where he hoped Ginny was still at.
"Hmm..." McGonagall never left the doorway, making it impossible for Ginny to sneak past her.
"Shit, Ferret Boy, she's not moving. How can I leave?" Ginny whispered to Draco, her voice laced with worry as she tried to think of a way to walk around McGonagall undetected.
"Just stay close." he whispered to her through the side of his mouth as his gaze remained fixed on his teacher who was currently surveying the room.
"Well done, Mr. Malfoy. My classroom looked spic-and-span." McGonagall complimented. She took a deep breath after taking inventory of her classroom once again and turned back to him, "Very well. You may go now back to your dormitory. I'll see you in class tomorrow." after that she turned her back and walked away from the classroom.
"Phew!" Ginny let out a sigh of relief and remove the cloak from over her head, "That was close!"
Draco let out a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding and turned towards Ginny, "Dammit, Weasley! That was close!" he snapped through gritted teeth.
"Well I'm sorry, Malfoy. Little did I know that McGonagall will come early. She still had a full minute left, you know."
"Yeah, yeah. Come on then. And put your cloak back on. Don't want to be caught leaving the room with you, I might land myself in another detention of McGonagall catches you with me." he walked away from the table and exited his Transfiguration classroom, looking left then right first before proceeding towards the direction of the staircases leading to their dormitories.
Ginny followed closely behind, making sure that she was only a step or two away from Draco as he led the way to the staircases. At the bottom of the stairs he stopped and turned, searching for her probably, before she heard him whisper out her name.
"I'm here, Malfoy." she whispered back, pushing back the cloak covering her head and stood just an arm's length from him.
"Jeez!" Draco didn't expect their nearness and his heart gave a slight jolt when Ginny appeared right before him. "Dammit, Red, don't you dare do that!"
"Don't do what?" she asked innocently, "Anyway, I guess this is where we part ways now, hm?" she asked all too eagerly, batting her lashes at him.
"Yeah...I believe so." he sounded almost resigned, he didn't want this night of theirs to end, not yet anyway. He was enjoying her company far too much to end it so abruptly. But he knew they must part. They can't be caught wandering around the corridors at night, and he certainly doesn't want to risk getting caught and serving another detention. One detention was enough to last him the whole year!
Ginny took a deep, sad breath then blew them out upwards, sending some of loose locks of her red hair fluttering. "Well, good night, Ferret Boy. See you in the morning." she took a step back away from him and reached over to put the cloak back over her head when Draco's hand snaked up and wrapped it around her wrist..
"Red..." he began, but his voice trailed off suddenly, his thoughts turned to mush as he tried to figure out what to say to her.
She looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to continue. When he just stood there staring at her Ginny raised an eyebrow, waiting for him still to talk. When it seemed that the cat got his tongue, a thought entered her mind.
"What is it, Malfoy?" she asked, taking a step closer to him, her eyes slowly gazing up and down his handsome face, "Something in your mind, Ferret Boy? C'mon, spill it." she cajoled.
"I...I..." Draco stammered, but his brain ceased to function at that very moment. Moonlight coming from the overhead windows shone down on her, illuminating her beauty in the darkness and made him all the more speechless, more enthralled in her beauty he has never noticed before.
"You--you--you what, Malfoy?" her grin mischievously, a familiar chant echoing inside her head from a Muggle movie she watched with Hermione a few summers back. "You think I'm gorgeous...you want to kiss me...you want to date me...love me and marry me..." she sang the all-too-cute catchy song the female lead in the movie sang to her leading man, and she did this with gusto and enough glint in her eyes, teasing and prodding Draco. She moved in closer to him, pressing her body against him as she continued repeating the chant, drawing Draco out of his sudden plunge into wherever.
"Wh--what?" he shook his head and stared at the enchantress before him, frowning at her catchy song.
Ginny stopped singing and smiled up at him, "Cat got your tongue, Malfoy?" she teased, "You were about to say something to me then nothing. I betcha you wanted to kiss me, love me and marry me." she sang the last sentence out to him and burst out giggling.
"Why you little tease..." Draco hissed and with his attention back into focus he wrapped an arm around her waist and hauled her closer to him, pressing her body entirely against his. Ginny would've yelped out, but Draco's mouth quickly covered her squeal.
"Mr. Malfoy!" Professor Snape's voice boomed from the bottom of the stairs leading to the Slytherin dungeon.
He quickly broke apart from Ginny and turned around to face his angry Potions teacher. Ginny quickly put the cloak over herself and remained standing behind Draco and kept a watchful eye over his shoulder at Snape.
"What are you doing out of your dormitory at this hour? Your detention with Professor McGonagall ended almost fifteen minutes ago!" he spat angrily, ascending the stairs until he was standing at eye-level with Draco.
"I--I...I was just on my way back to the dungeons, Professor." he replied.
"At this late?" he snorted. Even though he favoured Draco in his class tonight he was in the sourest of moods and surprised both Draco and himself when he said, "Detention for you, Mr. Malfoy. See me tomorrow morning to receive instructions. And twenty points from Slytherin."
Draco could hear Ginny snicker from behind him and a faint, "Nighty-night, Ferret Boy." before she ran upstairs back to Gryffindor Tower.
Damn Weasley got him into detention again.
