Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Virginia's mind swirled. What is someone suddenly comes in?! she panicked. She suddenly remembered that it was still to early for any teacher or student to be out yet. Thank merlin!

"Shall we start?" Draco inquired.

"Knock yourself out." Virginia retorted. Oh shit. What did I just say?!

He gave out a short laugh. "Okay then. Where will I start?" His hand freed one hand and went to her cheek. "Why not here?"

Virginia stiffened when he bent his head down and started running his lips from her cheek down to her chin. No! No! She turned her hear away, but he just put it back in position.

"Liked that?"

"No." she said, and looked him straight in the eye when he pulled back a little. She raised an eyebrow, as if challenging him to go on. When she saw him smile, she panicked some more.

"Let's try this part again." He said, and traced his finger from below her ear, down her jaw, chin and neck. "You just might reconsider."

She tried vainly not to show any sign of enjoyment. Oh gods! she thought to herself desperately, as she felt his tongue on the hickey he had given her. She shivered again, but this time, he didn't stop.

I think I'm going to enjoy this. he thought to himself, and kissed her below the ear. He trailed kisses down her jaw line, neck and finally on the hollow at the base of her neck. He was enjoying himself, because she was pinned down and couldn't move. He had her al to himself. She was squirming under him, but he wasn't sure why. "Still don't like it?"

Her breath was coming out in short gasps, and she managed to say "No." in between gasps. Shit. Shouldn't have said that. Even if she knew he was a Malfoy, mortal enemy of the Weasleys, she couldn't help but squirm for a little more contact. His torso was directly above hers, hovering over her. She couldn't stand this torture any longer, but refused to let him see the affect he had on her. . . when he did that.

"Don't lie to me, Weasley." He said coldly, still continuing to play with her neck. He licked the hickey again, harder this time. He heard her suck in her breath sharply, and covered her mouth with hers. He wasn't surprised that she kissed him back, and he let go of her hands.

No! No? ohhh. . . yes. . . .No! Do not kiss him back! she heard her conscience say, but ignored it. Her hands were free now, and she put her arms around his neck. When she felt his hands on her hips, she instinctively arched her back.

He grabbed her thighs and pulled her towards him, and heard her moan softly.

"WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU TWO DOING?!"

Virginia and Draco both looked at the direction in which the voice came from. Virginia released Draco's neck, and tried to sit up, but he didn't budge. She was now stuck. F***!

"Mind your own business, Parkinson." He retorted, and helped Virginia up. When she was on her feet again, she started towards the direction of the Gryffindor table. He saw her and quickly grabbed her arm and steered her back towards him.

"It is my business." She said, and motioned for her clique. They went forward and surrounded her like a pack of dogs. "I was looking for you last night. Where did you go? Oh wait, the answer was right on the table. You were with that Weasley girl, weren't you?!" she said, with a mad edge to her voice.

"What business is it of yours, anyway?" he answered back coldly.

Pansy looked as if she were slapped. Virginia snickered to herself, but stopped when Pansy looked at her sharply. "What?" she said haughtily to her, and stuck her nose up in the air.

Pansy was speechless. She never expected to be answered back by anyone, except Draco Malfoy. "Why, you little bitch!" she screamed, and started tiptoeing towards her on her 5 inch stilettos. But before she could get within six feet of Virginia, her heel caught on an uneven stone tile and fell on the floor. When she gathered herself, she stood up, but was much shorter now. She looked at her shoe, and let out a scream of frustration. "F***!!!! My heel broke! This is all your fault, Weasley. You're going to pay for this!" she said, and lunged at Virginia.

Draco let go of Virginia's arm, and stood in front of her, just before Pansy was able to reach her. Pansy fell back and landed on her butt with a thud. Her clique just stared, as she looked up at Draco with her mouth open with shock. "What the hell did you do that for?" she screamed at him.

Draco didn't answer her question but instead said that they should be getting to breakfast, since most of the students and teachers come at around this time. He got hold of Virginia again, who started to complain. "Go on, scream any louder, you'll make a scene. Wouldn't want Potter or your low life brother to see you, hmm?" Well, that shut her up. he practically dragged her to the seat just beside him, and sat her down.

"I'm leaving. I will NOT sit at the Slytherin table!" she said to him indignantly, but didn't get up from her seat.

He raised an eyebrow at her, while narrowing his eyes. "And where will you go? Look around, all the Gryffindors are already staring at you. You think they'll still let you sit at the table?" he said, and smirked. Ha! She can't go anywhere now.

Virginia looked around and just as he said, her fellow housemates were looking at her with shocked expressions. "Is this what you wanted, Malfoy?" she spat at him. He laughed, and she took it as a yes. She raised her hand to slap him, but he caught it and put her hand down.

"Take it easy, Weasley." He said, and smirked again. He opened his mouth to say something else, but looked up at the person who appeared out of nowhere behind her. "Zabini! You've finally arrived."

Virginia turned around to see this "Zabini" person. When she saw the person, she was taken aback. Hottie! Why haven't I noticed him before? She gazed at him, his spiky brown hair, mysterious blue green eyes and smiling lips. She heard him clear his throat, and realized that she was staring at him with her mouth open. This is sooo embarassing! she thought, while she shut her mouth and blushed deep scarlet.

"And who is this?" he asked Draco.

I'm Virginia Weasley, thank you. Your loyal slave and servant, my Lord. she answered him with her mind. Shit! Why the hell am I thinking these things?

"Oh, this?" Draco said, as he gestured to Virginia. "This is Ginny Weasley."

Virginia was watching Zabini as Draco answered him. Oh look! His expression didn't even flicker! Awww. . . wait a minute. Did Malfoy just say Ginny?! Argh!!!! She turned to Draco with a scowl on her face. "Hey, it's Vir-gin-ia. Not Ginny, not Gin. Got it?" she said, and raised her eyebrow as high as she could.

Draco raised an eyebrow, too, when her heard her. "Since when?" he replied, and smirked. Ginny's not her real name?

"Since this summer." She said, matter-of-factly. "I will not answer to the name Ginny henceforth. So don't you DARE tell others that that is my name. Understood?" her voice became angrier by the second.

"Well, Virginia, may I sit beside you?" Zabini's voice interrupted. He smiled at her when she turned around to look at him. She stuttered out a reply, an he took it as a yes. He sat down to her left and turned to her.

Oh my god! Why haven't I noticed him before? she thought, as she looked back at him. That's because you were too busy eyeing Potter, you silly little girl! she berated herself. From somewhere far away, she heard Draco talking to her, but all her thoughts were on Zabini.

"So. . . " he started, and propped an elbow on the table. "First time visit to the Slytherin table?"

If he looks at me any more hotly, I am going to melt. she thought, but an idea came into her mind. She batted her eyelashes at him and gave him her best smile. "Yeah. . . I think Malfoy here wanted me to visit." She drawled, and leaned towards him.

Zabini leaned towards her, which lessened the already small space between them. He smirked a little, but before he could say anything, Draco interrupted them. "Hey! Have you two been listening at all? I was introducing you to each other! F***! What is happening to everyone?!"

Zabini averted his gaze from Virginia and looked at Draco. "Sorry 'bout that, we were already having a nice chat." He said, and gestured for Virginia to turn around and look at Draco.

What the f***? She's only supposed to be looking at me! Me only! Draco thought to himself, very irritated. "Okay. Ladies get introduced first. Weasley, this is Blaise Zabini." He said, and nodded to Blaise. "My good friend and right hand man. Zabini, this is. . . Virginia Weasley. Of course, she's the sister of the other Weasleys." He was about to say something else, when Pansy sat down in front of Virginia and slammed her fist into the table.

"Hey. Aren't you going to introduce me? After what she did to my heel, I think I ought to be introduced." She said while smiling icily at Virginia.

All three of them just looked at her with blank expressions.

"Well? Get on with it, I don't have all day. I still have to fix my heel."

"Oh, go stick it up you ass!" Virginia retorted while Blaise and Draco snickered beside her. I swear, I will really stick her heels up her ass one day. As she watched Pansy throw her a disgusted look and start muttering repairing spells, she felt a hand pat her back and Blaise's voice next to her ear saying how nice it was to finally hear someone say that to Pansy.

"Where were we?" Blaise said in a husky voice. "Oh yeah. . . visiting. How about you visiting me next time?" he twirled a lock of her hair with one finger.

"Sounds interesting. . . " Virginia said coyly, and looked at him through her lashes.

"Hey. I didn't say you could leave me out of your conversation." Draco said impatiently. He watched as they slowly turned in their seats and looked at him.

"Yes, Malfoy?" Virginia said with raised eyebrows.

"You're supposed to be talking to me, remember? That little conversation we were having."

"I don't remember us having any conversation at all." She replied shortly.

"Let me refresh your memory. It was going something like this. I was asking you why you were crying, and you didn't even reply."

When Virginia's brain registered what he was talking about, her eyes started to sting. "Can we not talk about that?" she said to him in a shaky voice.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to think about it." she replied, in what she hoped was an emotionless voice. But whatever she felt inside was not hidden. Tears rolled silently down her cheeks, and she was starting to shake. Why does he want to talk about it? Why can't he leave me alone? She tried to hide her face by looking down at her lap.

Draco sat there looking at her, slightly bewildered. Why is she crying? Dammit! I'm not supposed to care. "Don't cry. Maybe I can help?"

Yeah, he'll help me cry some more. "You?" she said, but stopped before she could say anything else, because she felt his hand on her cheek, wiping away her tears. She looked up from her lap and directly at him.

"Yeah, me." He said, and smiled. Wait a minute. Did I just smile? Oh shit!

Virginia was shocked to see him smile. She was even more shocked to hear him say that he was going to help. "Okay. . ."

"Good." He said, trying to cover up the smile. "Now, what seems to be the problem?"

"Problem? Well, I don't think you'd see any problem I told you" she said, and waited for his reply. No retort? Damn. "Not a problem, really. I was just really irritated at Ron. And myself. And the way he treats me. Usual stuff, you know." She was babbling now, more tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I don't think it's usual stuff when you talk about the way someone treats you." He said, a serious look on his face now.

"How would you know?" she retorted, wiping away her tears.

"I have the same problem as you do."

"You do? Oh yeah, right. As if someone like you has worries over the way they're treated." She looked at him. His expression still did not change. He's serious? "That makes two of us, then." She sighed, and looked at Pansy, who was muttering spells under her breath, making her heel even higher than before.

"What?" Pansy barked at her, making her jump.

Virginia just smiled, and looked at the Gryffindor table. Parvati was looking at her, a confused expression on her face. She was mouthing 'What happened?' to Virginia. Virginia mouthed 'I'll tell you later.' And turned her attention to Blaise.

"Hey. You okay?" he said, and arched an eyebrow at her.

"Yeah." She replied half heartedly. "You know," she said, looking at Draco again. "You're actually kinda nice."

His eyebrows shot up, and he sat up straight. "Nice?" he said, and looked at Blaise. They gave each other curious expressions. "No, no. WE are not 'nice'"

Virginia laughed at their expressions. "Yes you are. You make me smile." She said, and smiled at the two of them.

"Stop that!" Draco said, fighting the smile that was threatening to break through.

"I don't know about you, Malfoy. But I like the thought of making miss Virginia here smile" Blaise said, and put his arm around her. "About visiting me now?" he whispered into her ear.

Remembering the idea she came up with a while ago, she giggled and leaned against him.

All through the rest of breakfast, which was mostly laughing at watching Pansy charm her shoes into higher heels, flirting with Blaise (the hottest boy Virginia's seen so far), making small talk with Draco, Virginia enjoyed herself. It was a break from life as Ron Weasley's little sister.

Classes went by in a blur. Her classmates kept giving her weird looks and whispering to one another. They were all avoiding her. Surely, they had seen her at the Slytherin table during breakfast.

When the last class ended, she walked back to the dorms. As soon as she stepped into the common room, she stopped. All the Gryffindors were looking at her with murderous faces.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

okay! That's it for chapter 9! It was getting too long, so I had to cut it short. But wait! Before you decide to stop reading my story forever, aren't you wondering what the rest of the Gryffindors will do? What Virginia's got planned?? Sigh. . . feb.6, 2:14 pm. Shit! I so suck at this! That's 10 days for one chapter!!! Argh!!!!

r/r please! Thanks!
