Not Exactly Charming

Chapter 1

Annoyance

"Well, look who it is," said a voice. "Widdle Weasley."

Ginny didn't have to look up to know who it was.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" she asked.

She was doing her homework in the library. It was almost ten o'clock at night. And a Friday, no less. Not fun. (OOC: Believe me, I know.)

"Nothing," said the boy. "Just getting a book."

"And you have to bug me to do that?" Ginny muttered.

"No. I just like to."

"Go away."

"Why would I do that?"

"Because I said to."

Malfoy walked past her to the other end of the table and sat down. Ginny looked up at him.

"Why are you still here?" she wondered. "Go away!"

"I can't," Malfoy said.

Ginny rolled her eyes and replied, "You've got legs. Use them!"

"You have the book I need."

Malfoy pointed to a book Ginny had been using called The Wonderful World of Beasts. Ginny tossed him the book (rather roughly) and said, "Here. Now go away!"

Malfoy caught the heavy book, a cloud of dust rising from its pages.

"Thanks," he mumbled. With that he walked out of the library.

Ginny sighed and returned to her homework.

He's not as bad as he used to be, she reminded herself. Not since his father was killed by You-Know-Who….

It took her twenty more minutes to finish her homework. Then she returned to the Gryffindor common room.

"Fuzz buckets," she said to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Yes, yes, of course," the fat Lady replied. She swung on her hinges, opening the doorway to the common room. Ginny crawled through.

"Oi, Gin, where've you been?" called Ron as soon as she entered the room. He and Harry were playing wizarding chess.

"Library," she said, watching Harry's knight as Ron's bishop dragged it off the board. She said hi to Harry and Hermione, who was sitting on an armchair re-re-re-re-reading Hogwarts, a History. Then she ran up to the girls' dorm and put her books away and came back down again.

"I play winner," she said to the boys as Harry's queen was dragged off by Ron's pawn.

"Go ahead," Harry said. "I'm through." He knocked down his king. It took him a few tries seeing the chess piece was cursing at him and fighting to stay up.

"Thanks," said Ginny, taking Harry's place.

"Did ya hear? Malfoy got extra Care of Magical Creatures homework!" Ron jeered gleefully.

"Yeah? He seemed pissed about something," replied Ginny.

"You saw him?" asked Hermione.

"Malfoy's always pissed about something," Ron muttered.

"Library," Ginny answered Hermione.

"Oops! Checkmate," said Ron. "You totally messed that one up."

…:+*+:…Ok, VERY short. But the next one'll be longer, I swear!! R/R! …:+*+:…
