[Ginny's POV]
It was a bright sunny day and Colin and I were outside near the lake, finishing up our homework for the day. I always loved days like these. The air was warm and happy, and it seemed everyone was in a good mood. We were sitting under an old oak tree for a bit of shade and Colin was clicking pictures of me with his camera.
"Colin! Stop!" I yelled as I put my hands in front of my face, partly to not get my face on camera and to shield the sun from my eyes. My best friend laughed and kept snapping his camera. I hated to be in pictures. I guess I'm just shy but.. I don't know. I just really despise having my picture taken.
"Your face was made to be put on camera." a voice said from behind us, a voice I knew fairly well from all the teasing he did to me. I turned around and glared on instinct. Draco Malfoy, resident Ice Prince of Slytherin, stood in front of me, leaning on the oak tree Colin and I were under, holding a bouquet of white lilies. My favorite flowers. Creepy.
"Bugger off, Malfoy." I said, rolling my eyes. He smirked and handed me the flowers.
"No, seriously, Weasley. Have you considered modeling for TeenWitch? They could use a pretty face." Malfoy said. Did he just compliment me? No.. he's taken a leave of his senses. Never the less, I took the flowers and smelled them. Ahh, I love the smell of white lilies. They're just so.. peaceful.
"Malfoy, she told you to shove it." Colin said defensively. He took the flowers from me and began to inspect them. "What hex did you put on them?" I grabbed the lilies and put them in my lap.
"None." Malfoy replied, putting his arms up in protest. "Creevey, would you mind leaving?" Colin glared at the older boy and than looked at me. I rolled my eyes and told him to leave.
"But, Gin, he could kill you! Ron will kill ME for leaving you alone with this ferret!" retorted Colin. God, I wish he wasn't so.. brotherish. I have enough of them!
"Colin, just go. I can take care of myself." He eyed Malfoy and walked three steps away. I picked up his camera that he'd dropped onto the grass when Malfoy arrived. "Farther, Col, or your Precious gets it." 'My Precious.' Yes, that's what my dear friend calls his camera. He even sleeps with his camera. The 5th year Gryffindor boys told me. Quite funny, if you ask me, but some people think he's insane.
"What do you want?" I replied, facing Malfoy. He looked appalled.
"Can't a guy give flowers to a stunning girl?" he answered. I blushed but than glared at him.
"Not when that guy is a Slytherin and that girl is a Gryffindor. Or when that guy is a Malfoy and that girl is a Weasley. Everyone knows Malfoys equals strings attached. What do you want?" I took the moment to smell the lilies again when I felt a prick on my arm. Then another. And another. And another. I jumped up, threw the flowers away and shrieked.
"MALFOY! YOU GAVE ME FLOWERS WITH BILLYWIGS NESTING IN THEM! THIS WAS YOUR MASTER PLAN! GIVE LILIES TO INNOCENT GINNY WEASLEY AND WATCH HER BEGIN TO LEVITATE! COOOOLIN!" He looked taken a back. I don't think he knew there were billywigs in the flowers but I didn't care. I was so angry! I smacked him just before my toes began to leave the ground and Colin reached us under the oak tree. He grabbed my foot and began dragging me to the castle. Laughter was heard all around me and I knew I was blushing hard.
"Look what you've done."

[Draco's POV]
I was mad. No, I was furious! I could've killed my two thugs. They can't even do one thing right! And I got slapped because of their stupidity. Ugh!
"You idiots!" I snapped. Crabbe and Goyle cowered above me. It was weird, how they were so big and scary but they were little Lockharts when I was yelling at them. "I told you to get flowers! No where in that plan did it say to get BILLYWIGS!"
"Sorry." muttered Goyle. I rolled my eyes.
"Sorry's not good enough, you dolt. You just ruined my chance of getting her to the ball with me! I'm going to lose now! She hates me!" I stopped and took a breath. "Even more than she did before! I'm going to have to give twenty galleons, TWENTY GALLEONS, to Weasley, WEASLEY, YOU PRICKS, and I'm never going to hear the end of it! And you know who will be paying me back? Do you?"
"Er.. your father?" Crabbe shrugged. I glared at him.
"No! You two prats!" I began pacing the Slytherin Common Room floor. "I need another plan.. what do women like? I don't know... Oi! Pansy get over here!" The Slytherin slut quickly raced over to me smiled. I grimaced.
"Yes, Drakkie poo?" she said in that sugary high voice that annoyed me to hell. "You look sad. Want me to cheer you up?" I snarled.
"No. Quick, I screwed up something with a girl and now I need to make it up to her. Tell me what girls think are romantic." The girl's eyes lit up. Probably thought the present was for her. Dumb girl.
"Well, honey, girls love chocolate and sweets! We especially love jewelery and clothes and, oh, I adore fairy pendants!" she squeled. I nodded.
"Fairy pendants, sweets.. got it. Crabbe, Goyle, let's go. We've got shopping to do."

"Hey, Ginny, I heard what happened. Malfoy, that git." Harry said as I entered the Common Room. That complete arsehole is more like it! It took Madam Pomphrey two hours to get me down on the ground. I am still floating a bit. Yes, there we go. My worn trainers hovered over the floor. It was actually bloody brillant... I sort of glided around, but I wouldn't admit that.
I looked over at the trio who were working on their homework in front of the fireplace. Harry looked like he was trying to hold back laughter and Hermione looked worried. Ron, well, he just blew up in fits of laughter.
"Oh my gosh (LAUGH) --- Malfoy --- (LAUGH) --- Billywigs! Wish --- (LAUGH) --- Been there! (LAUGH)" he muttered, as he banged his fists on floor after falling off the couch. I glared at my brother.
"It wasn't funny!" I whined. I took out my wand.
"Batte!" I smirked as the Bat Bogey Hex took it's course and began sprouting little wings on Ron's face. Crossing my arms above my chest, I made my way to my dormitory.
