Chapter 3:
Ginny was acutely aware of Draco's stare throughout the Ceremony and the following banquet. It bothered her throughout the first few weeks of school, especially since they passed without incident. She knew he was up to something, she just knew it, and here it was, two weeks later and not a hint of a devious plan in sight.
'I know he's planning something, I could feel his stare at the sorting ceremony…Maybe this is his little plot…driving me crazy…' She groaned aloud, frustrated.
"Ahem…Miss Weasely? Care to join us?" Professor McGonagall's voice broke into Ginny's tumultuous thoughts.
"Ah, sorry Professor, I guess…I uh…sort of spaced out there…for a minute…"
The class snickered, and even Professor McGonagall's lip twitched.
"Yes, Ginny I believe we all knew you…'spaced out'. Pay attention now. Can you turn this chair into a flying wombat?"
And so the day dragged on. During the past year Ginny had come to look forward to her and Draco's little spats…or their all out, knock down, drag out fights for that matter. Everyone else saw her as sweet, shy little Ginny Weasely; Ron's little sister. Around Draco, however, she was herself. Well, not really herself, because while she was hardly the timid little mouse people thought her to be, she was hardly the sharp tongued shrew that Draco saw her as either. She supposed she was a little of both, and Draco just brought out the more…assertive side of her. While she was deep in these self-evaluating musings, she wasn't paying a whit of attention to where she was going in the corridor. That is, she wasn't paying attention until she ran into something and went sprawling across the floor. This time she didn't need to see or hear him to know what knocked her over. She knew.
'Arg!!! Not twice in the first month of school!!!' She groaned mentally.
Ginny glared up at the source of her annoyance. "Malfoy you daft prick!! Are you so mysteriously drawn to me you can't help but knock me over whenever the opportunity arises?"
"In your dreams O Graceful One" he replied sarcastically. "Why don't you ever watch where you're going?? I might have broken a nail…" Draco finished haughtily, examining said nails with an air of superiority.
Ginny gaped at him a moment before bursting into peals of helpless laughter.
"What?" Draco asked innocently, but with a smirk playing with the corners of his mouth.
"Ahhhh…Nothing…*heehee* You were worried *snort* about your *hahahaha* NAILS!!! *wild laughter* What a pansy!!!" She continued to laugh.
"A pansy am I Miss Weasely?? We shall see…we shall see…" Draco turned and walked off, leaving Ginny to wonder what he could have possibly meant.
"Class Miss Weasely!" Professor Snape barked at her, and she hurried off, muttering expletives under her breath about slimy teachers and stupid Slytherin mind games.
***Draco***
'Stupid Weasle!! She knew I was kidding about my nails! Ah well, I'll get her back tonight…' Draco thought deviously.
'This plan's going to be the best one yet…I can't wait 'till dinner!' He laughed out loud at the thought, drawing stares from the rest of his class.
*A/N* Sorry it's short, I've been trying to write longer chapters, but I get writer's block then I get impatient to get what I have written out so…Anyways, Please Review!!! Thanks so much!
