Bailey's Irish Crème
Hey PpLs,
I admit that I haven't really been hurrying with re-writing my other fics. Something pretty bad came up and I fear that my mother will scone me when she finds out. But I'm trying my best to fix the problem and get my fics done as soon as possible. This story may move onto R because of very foul language in the insults that are going to be thrown between Bailey and Pansy, and sometimes Bailey and Draco. There will also be much foul language later on after the twist in the story happens. So here we go. I hope you like. Oh and it may seemed a bit rushed but the little incident in the beginning isn't really that important. So if anything seems rushed then I'm trying to get to the important parts in the chapter.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, Bailey, and any other character that I happen to make up along the way in this fic.

*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Things were horrible for the whole month of September between Bailey and the other Slytherins. Well, mostly just Pansy and Malfoy, but their bad attitudes seemed to be rubbing off on others. Just last week Bailey had to be locked in her dormitory because she nearly decapitated Blaise Zabini. Apparently the Zabini bitch had said something along the lines of, "Blonde bimbo… slutty yank…" And Bailey didn't take to kindly to insults.
On the other hand Ron and Hermione had finally accepted the fact that Ginny's best friend was a Slytherin and Harry. Well, Harry had liked her from the start. Harry had actually hung out with Bailey and Ginny while they served a detention that they had received for chewing muggle's bubble gum in potions class. Harry had gotten out his invisibility cloak and sat at Professor Snape's desk until he left. Then he proceeded to take it off and chat with the girls.
Bailey had also gotten bolder then she was before. She wouldn't sit at the Gryffindor table anymore. She had told Ginny that Slytherin was her house; those were her housemates, and that that was her table, so she was going to sit at it. And if anyone tried to stop her then someone would surely get a dotted eye. So that was taken care of and Bailey made it quite clear when she stood on the table and announced it.
Right at that moment the two girls were sitting in the big, black, leather chairs in the Slytherin common room; right out in the open. They were going through old pictures Bailey had taken of the people and events at her old school. They were currently looking at a picture of a huge stage with a bunch of dancers on it, all wearing pleaded mini skirts and white tank tops. They were dancing to something and Bailey stood right in the middle.
"So you used to dance." Ginny stated more then asked. Bailey smiled and nodded handing Ginny another picture of herself on a stage alone, holding a microphone. "And I used to sing." Ginny looked up at her friend confused, "So why don't you anymore? Weren't you good at it?" Bailey smirked as she grabbed another picture. Ginny looked at it and her brows furrowed.
"That," Bailey pointed to the girl with light brown hair in the picture, "Is the skirt who stepped in on my territory. Everyone loved me until she came along. I mean, Jesus Christ every time I woke up and went to the Mess Hall for breakfast it was like 'Gossip Folks' playing on the damned radio!" she shouted as she ripped the picture into pieces and threw them up in the air.
Ginny nodded and was about to ask how it all happened when someone interrupted, "Get the Gryffindor scum out of here." Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, and Draco Malfoy walked into the common room. The two girls looked as though they wanted to throw something and Draco's cool demeanor stayed as always.
"Ginny is not scum, unlike some, and no she does not have to leave." Bailey said as she took a deep breath. "So you might as well get used to it. I like it down here, the Gryffindor common room is too bright. So I'm staying down here and wherever I go, Ginny goes." Pansy smiled a sickeningly sweet smile as she Draco and Blaise sat down across from the two.
"So does that mean Ginny is your servant? I mean everyone knows that the Weasley's are poor. Did ickle bitty Ginny finally decide to help her family by getting a job?" Blaise and Pansy snickered as Draco sat there as if he was bored. Ginny clenched her fists and sat there as Bailey defended her, just as Pansy had intended and used it against her.
Ginny looked down as her wavy red tresses fell in front of her face. She felt tears start to trickle in the corner of her eyes and she lost it. She looked viciously up at Pansy and she stood up, the box of pictures falling from her lap making them fly all over the room. She threw her head back getting her red hair out of her face and lunged.
Bailey, Pansy, Blaise, and Draco's eyes all widened as Ginny landed on top of Pansy. She landed about two good punches before Bailey grabbed her arms and hauled her off of Pansy. Ginny was breathing loudly as she still glared at Pansy as Blaise and Draco helped her up. When Pansy lifted her head you could tell that that was something wrong with her jaw.
"Don't you ever, ever, talk about my family again you disgusting whore!" Bailey began to pull Ginny out of the common room and into the corridor but not before Ginny spit in Pansy's hair.
An hour later Bailey and Ginny were in Ginny's dormitory. It was lunch time and Ginny had been crying her eyes out since the incident in the Slytherin common room. Her eyes were puffy and red and her hair was tussled from rolling around in her bed. She blew her slightly red nose on a tissue and then sat up and sniffled.
"I don't know what got into me… I... I," Ginny paused as she hiccupped, "I've never done anything like that. She just… just got me so flustered and I lost it. I've taken every insult from every Slytherin since my first year and I guess all of that… that pent up fru… frustration got to me."
Bailey got up from one of the Patil sister's bed and sat next to Ginny on hers. "Gin, it's okay." She soothed Ginny by letter her cry into her shoulder as she rubbed her back. "I remember the first time I lost it… and trust me when I say; it was much worse then this. You shouldn't have held all of that in though; it's not good for you. You have to let it out every once in a while, you can't hold it in for six years."
Ginny looked up from her friends shoulder and hugged her, then pulled back, "You know I really think you rubbed off on me." They both laughed slightly as Ginny rubbed her eyes free of the gook that had gathered in the corners.
Bailey stood up and pulled Ginny up with her, "Now come on chick! You gotta get ready for dinner because you really can't go like that." She grabbed a strand of hair that was flopped right over Ginny's left eye and then dropped it back into place. They both giggled and then Ginny washed her face and did a charm so that no one could tell that she had been crying.
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Bailey had whispered a "See ya later." To Ginny and then made her way to the Slytherin table. She walked with an air of grace and yet she slouched a lot. Or maybe it wasn't grace at all; maybe it was just her deportment of confidence.
She was wearing a rather short, pleaded, indigo, mini skirt that hung low on her hips; like most of her clothes. Her shirt was a white no sleeved shirt with a collar and it showed her abs, her belly button ring also showing. Her white, tie-up, go-go boots made a slightly clack noise as she walked to her destination and the sound attracted some peoples attention, even with all of the chatter.
Her hair was parted in a zigzag part to the right side of her head, covering her left eye. It flared out just at the shoulders and the tips were indigo like her skirt. Yes, indeed, Bailey was a sight to see. It wasn't everyday that they got new students at Hogwarts and Bailey was a very intriguing specimen.
She was just about at the table and she noted to herself that there were plenty of empty seats, since most Slytherins kept to themselves and ate in their dorms. But even if there were more then enough seats she wanted that one. And that one happened to be right in front of Draco Malfoy. There was a little smirk playing on Bailey's cherubic lips as she sat down in that one. She looked at Malfoy and then grabbed a piece of bread and put jam on it, stuck it in her mouth, and swallowed a bite. She then began to tap her fingers in a pattern; index, middle, ring, pinky.
She was just about done her bread when Malfoy yelled at her, "Will you stop doing that!" a few people turned their heads to see what was going on. Bailey smiled and stopped drumming her fingers. She winked at him with the eye that he could see, which was the right one, and then she went and took the last bite of her bread and jam.
She stood up, looked at him with a half lidded eye, and then stalked away. Ginny was about to get up and follow but Bailey shook her head and mouthed 'Tomorrow'. Ginny nodded and went back to the conversation she was having with her brother. Bailey continued walking to the great big doors that lead to the corridor and then soon she disappeared behind them.
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Draco watched as the little Deeds girl walked away, her hips swaying rhythmically. Sure he couldn't stand the yank but she had a nice ass. The rest of her wasn't that bad either. She had the body of a gymnast. She was muscular and yet petite at the same time.
Draco shook his head as she disappeared from site and went back to his meal. Then he realized what he was just thinking. He was checking the Deeds girl out. Suddenly he lost his appetite. He put his fork down and told Pansy and Blaise he was going to go back to his dorm. He gave them a look that clearing said, don't ask.
He stood up from his place at the Slytherin table and made his way back to the dungeons. He made it to the portrait of the headless man and said the new password, "Avada Kadavra." He walked down the twisted stairs and he was about to go into his private room when he saw the yank sitting on the big leather couch in the common room. She had something over her head, which was nodding, and her eyes were closed. If it wasn't for her moving lips he would have thought she were sleeping.
He walked slowly over to her and sat in a green chair by the couch. He watched as she continued to nod her head. Then she reached down and pushed a button on her muggle contraption. She smiled slightly and started whispering faint words. They were quiet but she was clear and easy to hear. He listened to the words, trying not to make any noise.
Finally recover and the mood is
right
looking up into a neon sky
child in me takes over, guess it's been too long
since the last time that I tried to fly
Finally I find when I lose control
inside my body crumbles
it's like therapy for my broken soul
inside my body crumbles
He sat confused at the words of the song. But Bailey seemed so into it, like she understood the very meaning of the song. He continued to listen as she lightly sung the rest of the song.
All I need's a moment, chance to
get away
from the stressfulness of every day
know if I don't question and I never doubt
everything is gonna be okay
Finally I find when I lose control
inside my body crumbles
it's like therapy for my broken soul
inside my body crumbles
Then she stopped and sniffed the air. Draco was about to make a run for it when she grabbed him, her eyes still closed. He was amazed at her quickness and the fact that she caught him with her eyes closed.
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
"Malfoy, don't creep around so much. It's creepy." Bailey said, pulling off her head phones and opening her eyes. She looked at Malfoy and smiled, "Sit." He sat and she nodded her head, as if she had finished a conversation that had been going on in her head. "So Malfoy, why were you watching me?"
"I wasn't watching you!" he defended himself a little too quickly. "I was listening." He scowled at her smiling face and he crossed his arms over his chest. "What is that awful stuff you were listening to anyway?" he asked looking at the head phones in her lap.
Bailey just smiled and said, "It's called 'Body Crumbles'. It's by a group called Dry Cell. Besides, they're not bad. Their music is good." At her words Malfoy scoffed. She looked at him and her brow furrowed. "What's your problem? I'm actually trying to stand you being in the same atmosphere as me and you insult my taste!" she practically yelled.
"Well it's not my fault that you have bad taste." He said stubbornly as he stood to go back into his dorm again. That was until that rotten girl interrupted again. "Fine, you think it's bad and that's your opinion. But I bet I can change it."
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
She smirked a smirk that could rival his and then she pushed the muggle contraption into his hinds. He scowled at her and was about to shove them back at her when she stopped him. "Malfoy loosen up and listen for once." She pointed to the buttons and said what each one of them meant, slowly.
"This is the play button and I'm sure by the name you can tell what it does. This is the stop button; again it's self explanatory. This makes it go to the next song and this makes it go to the last song. And the last button is the pause button, it obviously pauses the song." She smirked at him again and was about to walk away when Draco stopped her.
"How did you get these things of your to work anyway?" he asked looking the silly thing over. After all, they weren't supposed to have muggle contraptions not because Dumbledore didn't want them there, but because they couldn't work. There was just too much magic flying around that got in the way of the electricity.
Bailey gave a thoughtful look at the little thing in Draco's hands and then took it from him. "Well in my old school things like this CD player didn't work either but its simple enough to change what it's depending on for power. If you think about it it's quite obvious really. These things run on electricity, or at least they're supposed to, and if you change its dependence then it will work fine. All of my muggle things that require electricity to work run on water. See." Bailey opened a little compartment that Draco guessed was where muggles put those little batteries things and instead of batteries there were two little streams of water, going from one end of the opening to the other and none of the water even spilled.
Draco looked a little lost and then he smirked, "Look out Granger you've got competition." Bailey pouted slightly and crossed her arms after handing the CD player back to him. "Just cause' I'm smart doesn't mean I'm the next Hermione Granger." Draco rolled his eyes as he made his way over to the door to his room, "Right, and just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
The next day Ginny Weasley was, yet again, late for class. Only this time Bailey wasn't going to be there to help her. Bailey just happened to be taking a mental health day and was staying in her common room all day. I'm going to loose a thousand points if I don't get there in- "Ouch!"
Ginny looked up from her place on the ground and just guess who it was that she ran into. Yup! Just her luck; she ran smack into Draco Malfoy! Now should would be late, get points deducted, and insulted!
"Well look who it is." Malfoy drawled as she started to pick up her scattered books. She was just about to grab her DADA notebook when he firmly placed his foot over it. She was about to try and snatch it out from under his terribly expensive shoe when he used his foot to slide the book along the floor and all the way over to her other side.
"Malfoy, I'm not in the mood. If you want to ruin someone's life, not that mines not already been ruined, then go terrorize some poor first years. It's hard for them to forget things. So to make yourself memorable go terrorize them with your face." Ginny finished picking up her books and then she stood and look at Malfoy's stunned face. I guess it wasn't everyday he got an insult like that throw back at him. Hell, he probably got no insults from anyone but Bailey.
Malfoy almost smiled at her but he quickly made it a smirk. He chuckled slightly and then started to leave. "Well, it seems that today is the day that pigs fly. A Weasley, and the loner out of the lot of them, just insulted me." He sounded as if he were talking to himself but Ginny heard it. She would have smiled, if she hadn't looked down at her watch and see that it was pointing to 'You're Late'.
Ginny stomped her foot and hurried down to the potions room, "Why me?" she whispered to herself just before she walked into the room.
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Draco had been on his way to class. He was prefect and he had to patrol the halls in the morning, make sure no one was going to be too late. He was almost done patrolling the east side of the school when he saw the little Weasley girl.
As of the other day Draco wasn't on almost good terms with Ginny's Weasley. She had punched one of his best friends in the jaw and that day they found the little Weaslette had quite a left hook. Pansy went to the hospital wing and said she wasn't looking where she was going and ran into a wall. They found that her jaw had almost been dislocated and that now it made a very disturbing pop noise occasionally.
Draco made his way over to her, knowing that she was going to be late if she stopped, and decided to get in her way. She was walking rather quickly, in fact she was just about running, and she wasn't watching where she was going. So to be even more of an inconvenience Draco stopped right in her path.
He watched, amused, as she fell to the floor her books scattering all about. She looked ready to cry, or maybe just walk away. He couldn't really tell because her head was down as she gathered her books into a pile. Before he interfered again.
She was getting quite flustered and once she finally picked up her books and stood, she looked ready to kill. Although she did look rather attractive that way. She was almost as good looking as that yank friend of hers. She was short, about 5"2 or 5"3, and quite petite. She had a slim waist and she was curvy for someone of her height.
Her red hair wasn't the same shade as her brother's hair. No, their hair was more of a flame color and her hair was a deep crimson. Her hair was also wavy and it stopped just at the dip in her back. It also looked very soft and well taken care of; almost like velour.
Her eyes were a bright cinnamon brown and they were doe-like. Her nose, surprisingly, was the only place that freckles appeared anymore, just across the bridge. And her full lips were a rose color.
Ginny Weasley really had changed since the first time he saw her. And the first time he saw her was not that day in his second year at Flourish and Blotts. The first time he actually saw little Ginny Weasley was when he was seven and she six, and boy had she changed. But she was still a Weasley. And he would get her back for that last insult.
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Bailey threw yet another shirt down on her bed and groaned. She had nothing to wear to lunch and she was so tired. She had only woken up an hour ago at 10:32 am and she could still barely keep her eyes open. As I said before, Bailey was not a morning person.
She rummaged through he drawers a few more times and then made her decision. She wore a cheetah print tank-top that stopped at just below her bust and a black long sleeve shirt that hung low over top of the tank-top, her shoulders being exposed. Then just at her waist line hung a short black skirt with a cheetah printed belt.
Once she was done dressing she ran her hair brush through her hair. Just before she exited her room she slipped into a pair of black, suede Timberland boots. She had already done her make-up when she first had awoken so she didn't have to worry about that. Now all she had to do was successfully make it down to the Great Hall without being assassinated.
She walked out of her dorm and into the common room. There weren't many people in there surprisingly, only a few first years scurrying to try and make it to lunch on time. Bailey smile at them enthusiastically and once they were out of sight her smile instantly dropped. She wasn't in the mood for smiling. She was just so tired lately.
She was tired of Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson and all of the other Slytherins. She was tired of all the strict rules around this place. She was tired of this place in general! It wasn't like she hated Hogwarts. She had made her first real and true friend here and it was fun being in a different place. But she was so home sick and she missed her mother more then she thought she would have.
Bailey sighed, life was just so different now and different things scared her. She just wanted thing to be normal again. No Malfoy, Parkinson, etc. No strict rules and strange words like 'snog'. Go everything was just so different! The only good thing about Bailey's whole trip and exchange was making friends with Ginny. Well and pissing people off.
Bailey continued walking as she trailed her hand along the cold stone wall. She sighed once more as she brushed an unruly strand of hair out of her eyes. She walked up a few more corridors and then ran into Ginny.
"Hey Gin. How you doing?" she asked as Ginny matched her walking pace. She shrugged slightly and said, "Alright I guess. No outbursts and I've actually been having real conversations with my brother." Bailey smiled. Ginny certainly had become braver and she had been talking to some of the people in her house. But Ginny was still shy and mostly kept to herself or hung out with Bailey.
"So, I hear there's going to be a Halloween ball." Bailey said suddenly. She had heard news about it before but she never heard anything about how it all worked. "Yeah, it's a bit aggravating though because of the whole blind date part of it." Bailey suddenly stopped, "And just who gets to pick who goes with whom?" Ginny stopped and looked back at Bailey and then said, "Dumbledore of course."
Bailey groaned and continued walking, "How much you wanna bet that I get paired with Malfoy?" Ginny giggled slightly, "I doubt Dumbledore would do that to you. He might even pair you up with someone you do want to go with." Bailey smiled and nodded mostly to herself. There was one person that she did want to go with. Maybe Dumbledore would pair them up. Ginny smiled as she watched Bailey think about something and a smile suddenly crossed her face. Ginny knew she had stricken a nerve and that Bailey was thinking of the person she wanted to go to the ball with.
"Well," Ginny started as she looked at her imaginary watch, "Only fifteen more days until we find out!"
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Bailey and Ginny parted ways as they made it to the Great Hall. Ginny smiled as she sat down with her brother Harry and Hermione. Bailey was happy that they were actually acknowledging her and letting her be part of their group. Even though she still was left out a lot, her relationship with her brother was getting better.
Bailey sighed as she sat down at a secluded part of the Slytherin table. She was once told by a friend that misery loved company but this wasn't misery. It was depression… or maybe it was loneliness. But then it couldn't be loneliness because she had Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione. Bailey shook her head; it had to have been home sickness.
All through dinner Bailey ate in silence. Not one of the Slytherins bothered her and she guessed it was because the unhappy face she made every so often. She was about to say something to a first year boy who kept staring at her when Dumbledore stood. Everyone, including Bailey, looked over in his direction and waited for what he had to say. Some people thought it was info on the Halloween Ball but Bailey knew better, he'd probably wait at least five days before the event to tell anyone.
Finally, when people began to grow impatient, he spoke. "Ms. Deeds, I believe there is someone here to see you. Please come to my office after dinner and to retrieve your little friend." Dumbledore, as if reading her mind, quickly added, "You could bring Ms. Weasley along if you'd like." Bailey nodded and continued eating her mashed potatoes.
*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Bailey and Ginny were both chatting as they made their way to Dumbledore's office. Bailey knew exactly where it was because of her numerous visits because of so many detentions. Ginny had been there in her first year but she couldn't remember where it was so naturally Bailey led the way.
"So who do you thinks visiting you?" Ginny asked turning to the side so she could straighten her wavy hair. Bailey just shrugged, "Hopefully it's someone I actually know from my old school. I'd like to see the face of an old friend. Well, one that's not my enemy now anyways."
They had finally reached the entrance to Dumbledore's office and Bailey said the password, "Banana mango." Ginny gave Bailey a questioning look and Bailey again shrugged. They heard Dumbledore inside and he said chuckling lightly, "Come on in girls." They did so and they sat down in two chairs that were out for them, Dumbledore standing in front of them.
"So, where's my guest?" Bailey asked looking around his office. Dumbledore chuckled again and said lightly, "I've been chatting with your little friend Alatáriël. You've raised her well." Bailey's eyes widened and she smiled. "Alatáriël is here? Where is she?"
Dumbledore's big chair turned around and there sat a small house elf. Only it didn't look like your everyday house elf. Its skin wasn't anywhere near as wrinkly as Dobby's and it wasn't any where near as dirty either. It was a dark color; a crisp golden color was more like it. And the little thing was wearing proper clothing. It wore a little blue sun dress with little pants underneath. It also had long black hair, ending just at the middle of its back. It was quite obvious that house elves were not treated like slaves in America.
"Hello misses. I is been missing you." The house elf, Alatáriël, said to Bailey. Bailey squealed like a little five year old and rushed over to Alatáriël. She seized her up into her arms and gave her a great big hug. "Misses is chocking Alatáriël." The little thing wheezed slightly and Bailey let go.
"Ginny, this is my friend Alatáriël." Bailey said whipping her eyes slightly. "I found her when I was nine and I've raised her since then. I haven't seen her for a while because my mother… had her taken away."
Ginny kneeled down and shook the little creature's hand, "It's nice to meet you Alatáriël. It's good to see a friend of Bailey's." The little creature beamed at Ginny and then turned to Bailey. "They is missing you terribly misses. They is sorry misses. They did-a-not mean it misses." Bailey nodded as she willed herself not to cry.
"So how is everyone? Did Caranthir and Inglor have their wedding yet?" Bailey asked looking questioningly at the elf. She shook her head. "They is waiting for you misses. They is wanting you to be there." Bailey smiled, "Then I'll have to find a way to be there now won't I? But it isn't going to be any time soon."
At that time Dumbledore cut in, "It's getting late girls. You should be getting back to your dorms, get some sleep. You wouldn't want to miss classes now would you?" Dumbledore looked at Bailey while saying this and she laughed nervously. They all exited Dumbledore's office and headed back to their dorms.

A/N: Sorry that this chapter was shorter then my first one but I'm quite disappointed with this chapter. It just didn't seem right to me. I'm also very displeased with my amount of reviews. I know very well that I'm not going to get 19 reviews for the first chapter but I expected at least five. People please help me and review!
I'm also sorry that I've been delaying but I've had writers block and still do. It took me almost a whole three days to think up all of this and about four days to get it all situated as I typed it. But I do have a social life people. I hang out with friends and I read more fan fiction then I write.
Again, please don't send in reviews that say something like "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!' I will pay no heed to these types of reviews. I now that most of you only review things like that but I need a critic. But please don't flame me. I'm a very sensitive person and I don't think I could handle flames. The last time I received a flame I didn't write anything for over three months. So please no flames. It discourages me and it doesn't help. But if I do make mistakes feel free to correct them. Just don't be rude about it.
Oh and I'm sorry if there are spelling mistakes but I have no time to revise. So sorry! I'll revise when I have time. Please, please, please, please, please ,please, please review! I won't even start the next chapter until I get six reviews. I expected five for the first chapter but I only got four so six reviews would help. If I get five I'll start it but if I don't get six, I won't post it.
