hello again! well, just wanted to say, thank you all who reviewed, I'm really glad. credits later. let's get on with chap 3.
* * *
Draco sat in a corner of a bar. Harry was supposed to be here about 30 minutes ago. he tapped his foot impatiently. Ever since Ginny handed him the assignment to interview potter, all his spare time were given into locating him. yet, no avail. Finally, just yesterday, he managed to make a timing with potter. and now, he's nowhere.
Draco contemplated just letting this whole frustrating interview drop. But mr.obese would surely object. He waited for about another 20 minutes then left the bar in a very, very angry mood.
When Draco entered his office, Ginny was nowhere to be found. A note was left on his table.
Draco,
I'm taking the rest of the day off. Since tomorrow's a holiday, there's no work, but we need to discuss the sports section. time's running short. Meet me at the cafe round the corner of the office around evening. If you can't make it owl me. Gin.
Draco looked at it. It definitely wasn't a date. It was work. all work. he ran a hand through his hair frustratedly and sat down on his chair heavily.
The rest of the day seemed to be passing in slow motion without Ginny around. By the time he got home, he was dead beat. he laid down on his couch and fell into a dreamless sleep.
Draco was awokened by the sound of those neighbours. They were always quarrelling about something. He got dressed and had a quick breakfast and continued his 'great search' to find potter.
While he was half-way through his work, an owl came through his window. "oh shit" he practically shouted when the bird nearly toppled his pumpkin juice over. He read the paper over, not wanting to miss a word. It was from Pansy, telling him that Blaise got a new girlfriend. She had been after Blaise for a very long time now.
Of course, Pansy was dying to know who that girl was and as usual, asked him to help. Draco wrote back rude vulgarities telling her to get lost and sent the owl out again.
One good thing about Blaise was that he wasn't the typical slytherin material. Blaise was mean and all, but if you bothered to do some soul-searching of him, you'll find that he'll probably be in Ravenclaw or something. He didn't know why the sorting hat didn't know that. Because of that, many girls from other houses went after him.
After about half an hour, another owl came flying through, filled with rude vulgarities, scolding him back and telling him the new girl was Ginny Weasley. yeah, yeah, like I care. He thought. Wait. Ginny Weasley? isn't that my work partner? the one I like? my god.
I'll ask her about it later. he swore to himself.
At about 6 in the evening, he wore his cloak and left for that cafe. There, Ginny was already seated, sipping some tea. "Waited long?" he asked
"nope, you came just on time."
"Well, anyway, let's get into business. Have you located Harry?" She said in a very business-like tone.
"I spent so long trying to find him but i can't seem to get him. He's probably somewhere out there doing god-knows-what."
"I understand" she really did. Draco had a suspicion she went looking for him too. "I'll do my best to find him, mean while, could you be the one to answer the question column?" Ginny asked with a hopeful expression.
"yeah, but we got to speed things up. In three days time is the deadline." Draco reminded her.
She nodded and continued to sip her tea. "So, I heard you found someone right for you." Draco said trying to make conversation.
She placed down her cup of tea and said very politely. "I did, it's Blaise, He's a real gentleman." She also had a tone of finality in her voice.
They continued talking about the sports section and soon, Draco heard a pair of feet shuffling towards them. He looked up and was surprised to find Blaise.
"Hello there, i hope I'm not disrupting anything, but me and Gin gotta go."
"Oh, it's nothing, we were about to leave anyway. Right Draco?"
'Uh right"
"Great" With that Blaise and Ginny looped arms and walked out of the cafe together.
Draco just stared after them wondering what the world was becoming into.
* * *
The next day, when Draco arrived for work, just on time, he found Ginny already there absorbed in doing her work. She looked so absorbed he did not want to disturb her.
After some silence, he heard her stretch and then shriek."I didn't see you!"
"hello, nice surprise, but I was here about 20 minutes ago"
"Oh sorry, I was too busy I didn't notice" she said apologetically.
"By the way Draco, I managed to find Harry. I got the interview done. I hope the question column is ready too?"
"yeah"
'great then, we'll all done, want to go and celebrate with the rest of the staff members? they got a celebration in a few minutes time and we are all invited"
"I guess I could go, you can make it?"
"Of course. Why not?"
"I thought Blaise would be preparing something for you two tonight."
"Oh he isn't, we broke up already." she answered casually.
"That fast?"
"Draco" she sighed. "You're really slow, I was just pretending to help him, in order to make Pansy stop harrassing him."
"oh" was all Draco could say.
"Well, come on, let's PARTY" She announced.
