It wasn't until Ginny got up to her room that she realized that she had nowhere to go. She didn't feel like going anywhere with her magical friends, and so called up some of her Muggle friends that she'd met while in London. It was decided that they would go to Mudpuddle, a club frequented by the 25 and under crowd.

Ginny's friend Dylan was to pick her up in 15 minutes and so she hurried around getting ready.

'I am so lucky that I'm magical,' Ginny thought as she did her hair and makeup with a flick of her wand. 'Too bad the wand can't choose good clothes for me. Its nice having lots of clothes now, but I sort of miss when I was younger, really on having a few sets of clothes. It was a lot simpler to get dressed. Plus, at Hogwarts choosing clothes was so easy because you were required to just wear one set of them.'

Ginny walked over to her closet and started to go through her clothes. 'Damn,' she thought, biting her lip. 'I really don't want to dress up tonight. If they want to kick me out of the club for wearing jeans and sneakers, screw them.' Ginny grabbed her favourite jeans and Adidas sneakers, but balanced the outfit with a strappy black leather tank top that laced up the back.

Soon Ginny heard a car honk in a lengthy tune outside the house.

Ginny quickly checked out her reflection in the mirror, grabbed her wallet and lip-gloss, and ran downstairs. She called out to Harry as she passed, and ran out to Dylan's black SUV sitting in the driveway.

'Hey gorgeous,' Dylan said as Ginny climbed in, and leaned over to kiss her cheek. 'She is so hot,' he thought. Ginny had really gone for the rocker chick look that night. Her innocent blue eyes looked smoldering, rimmed in black eyeliner, with a little shimmery eye shadow and tons of mascara. Her blazing red hair hung down in waves that caressed her shoulders.

'Hey. Where's everyone else?' Ginny asked as she looked around the car.

'Oh, Marie called me and said that she and Evan would meet us there. You look really good,' Dylan said as the car pulled out of the driveway and onto the road.

Ginny said, 'thanks,' but quickly looked out her window, and said nothing more. She wasn't entirely comfortable with the looks that Dylan kept giving her. They had gone out for a few weeks but decided later to just be friends. But Ginny was pretty certain that he still had feelings for her.

To cover the uncomfortable silence, Dylan reached over and turned on the radio. Immediately loud rock music filled the car, and no more was said.

The club was only a few minutes away, but when they got there Dylan spent a long time trying to find a parking spot.

Ginny got into the club without any trouble. Once there, she and Dylan tried to find Evan and Marie. The pounding music filled her ears and took over her senses, and the flashing lights turned the room into one real fantasy. Quickly, she became separated from Dylan and got lost in the crowd. Rather than panic, Ginny just set her mind on finding her other friends.

***~~~***

He caught glimpses of her coming through the crowd. He could swear that he had never seen her before in his life, but there was something so goddamn familiar about her. Was she someone he knew from Hogwarts or the rest of the wizarding world? Maybe, but then why would she come to a Muggle club? 'You come here all the time,' his inner voice told him. Draco Malfoy sat back in his booth and watched as this mystery girl made her ways towards him, obviously looking for someone or something. 'Who are you? Why can't I figure this out?' He saw the girl meet up with some people who then went their booth two down from his. He vowed that he would know who this girl was before he left that night.

***~~~***

Ginny kept skirting people who bumped into her as they danced. Where the hell were her friends? 'Maybe they already had a booth,' Ginny thought and made her way over to the side of the club.

She noticed this mysterious man who kept staring at her as if trying to figure out something. His face tug at her heart but she had no idea who he was. He just seemed so familiar. His face appeared in her mind in a different times and places, but Ginny just couldn't put a name to his face. His cool grey eyes burned into hers but she still couldn't figure out who he was. The disco lights glinted off his silverish blond hair, and she had a sudden urge to just run her fingers through it.

Luckily she located her friends sitting two booths down from the mystery man and joined them for a drink. Who was that guy?

'Gin, you look great,' Evan called over the music.

'Thanks,' she called back.

'Yeah, I love that shirt,' Marie said. 'Can I borrow it sometime?'

'Sure. But maybe I can get my Diesel jeans back before then?'

'Oh, yeah. I had completely forgotten about them, but sure,' Marie laughed.

The waitress came by and they ordered their drinks. When the drinks came, the group drank them in silence, just listening to the music.

Dylan got up and grabbed Ginny's hand. 'C'mon, lets go dance. I mean, that's what we're here for, isn't it?'

Ginny let Dylan pull her off to the dance floor where they got caught up in the music.

Draco watched as she danced. Watching this girl dance brought back so many memories of Hogwarts, and her name kept appearing and then receding back into his subconscious. This puzzle was killing him!

Every time Ginny turned around, she could see that guy staring at her. This brought back so many memories of dances at Hogwarts with other guys who looked like this one staring at her on the dance floor.

***~~~***

The night passed and Ginny and Draco had still failed to figure out the identity of the other.

By 2:00 AM, Evan and Marie were gone and Dylan and Ginny were getting ready to leave. As Draco saw Ginny leaving, he got up to follow her and ask her whom she was.

'Gin, you wait here. I'm going to get the car and swing around for you,' Dylan said when they got outside.

'Yeah, sure.' As Ginny watched Dylan walk away, she stuck her hands into her pockets and rocked back and forth. Although it was very flattering, she didn't like the looks some of the guys were giving.

Ginny had been waiting outside for Dylan for about 5 minutes when she heard a scuffle behind her in the alley. It grew decidedly louder, and to Ginny's trained ear, she discerned it to be between at least 4 demonesque things and a human girl. Looking around, she noticed that no one had noticed the fight, or at least, they weren't going to try and stop it. Ginny broke into a run for the back alley, entirely forgetting about Dylan.

Draco watched as the flame-haired girl ran into the alley. He himself had heard the fight, but was too busy trying to figure out whom the girl was to do anything about it.

When Ginny arrived at the fight, she took in the typical clichéd fight scene that she had witnessed so many times. Four scaly demons stood around a sprawled sobbing girl. The largest demon looked up to see Ginny standing there, bored expression ready on her face.

'Perfect, not only do we have dinner, but now we have been graced with a midnight snack,' the largest demon growled, sharp teeth protruding, dripping with drool.

'Nice, did you come up with that snappy retort all by yourself?' Ginny asked dryly. 'Very clever. I guess this would be the part where you expect me to run in terror. Sorry, bad news, I'm not going anywhere. At least not until I have thoroughly enjoyed kicking your asses.'

Draco stood around the corner, listening to the girl and the demon converse. She had obviously done this before, so Draco stood and waited until it appeared like she needed him.

'Come here girl, and prepare to bow done before me,' the demon said and started to walk towards Ginny.

Ginny pushed herself off the wall where she had been leaning and sauntered towards the demon.

'Enjoying your last few moments of life, girl?'

'Perhaps I should be asking the same of you.'

The demon grunted and swung a punch at Ginny that she easily avoided.

'I can see that this is going to be a scintillating conversation,' Ginny drawled as the circled the demons. 'A real 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' moment.'

'Huh?'

'Never mind. What are you waiting for? Let's get this over with. I'm standing right here.'

All four demons rushed at her at once.

'Damn, didn't see that one coming.'

Ginny was able to hold her own in the fight. But the victim had run away as soon as she saw that the demons' attention was directed elsewhere.

'Thanks so very much for all of your help,' Ginny thought but was quickly brought back to reality by a swift kick to the ribs which quickly brought her down to her knees. From this position she was able to take two of the closest demons down with a sweep of her leg. One had managed to hit its head on the brick wall, and the other had tripped over the first to land face down on the broken asphalt. Neither was getting up again. This left Ginny with only two ugly-ass demons to deal with but they had taken the interlude to get weapons, clubs fashioned from some of the junk lying around the alley. One had risen his club and was about to smash it into Ginny's head when something flew into her side and knocked her flat.

When Ginny's head had cleared, she looked up to see the blond mystery guy from the club battling with the two remaining demons. Ginny leapt up to help him, and they quickly made short work of the two demons. One was left impaled on his makeshift club and the other had the misfortune of being crushed by the dumpster, a joint idea of Draco and Ginny.

For the first time that night, Ginny and Draco came face to face.

'Weasley?'

'Malfoy?'
