Chapter One: Just a little fun

Draco sat near the lake, and threw a rock at the giant squid that surfaced now and then. A slow smirk appeared on his pale lips. He sighed deeply, and heard something behind him, the rustling of leaves, mixed with footsteps.

"Who's there?" He asked, without turning around. Swift laughter broke through the air. He hadn't noticed the laughter, until he turned his head to the side and saw some red hair.

He turned to yell, but stopped as he saw her wearing a silk red dress down to her feet, and a little smile playing on her lips.

"What the hell are you wearing, Weasley?" He said roughly.

"It's a dress Malfoy, but you wouldn't know anything about them, since you've never had the courtesy to ask a girl out...it's called "getting dressed up for a date", which is what I'm doing you moron." She hissed.

"Well it's...ugly." He choked out slowly, his eyes trailing down her body. She glared, and turned to go but he grabbed her arm and stopped her.

He pulled her down beside him, and wrapped his arms around her waist, slowly bending down to kiss her neck.

"You know I only do that because people keep walking by...they don't need to know about us yet."

He sat up, holding his head in his hands. "What was that all about?" He muttered to himself. He heard Blaise Zabini laughing at him, from the other side of the room.

"What the hells' your problem, Zabini?" He hissed, staring at the white and silver haired boy with the ice blue eyes that smirked, solemnly lying back in his chair.

"That dream again, Malfoy? Come now, it seems that you like the youngest Weasley, and why wouldn't you? She's gotten a lot nicer looking this year, if you understand me."

"Don't you dare say that about her, she's nothing but a poor little rat." Draco smiled some.

"I've never heard a Slytherin say such nice things about something like a Weasley."

Blaise shrugged,

"Well maybe I'm not your average Slytherin, Draconis..." A warm somewhat delicate smile grazed his lips, and Malfoys' stomach did a flip.

"What's' the lousy no good cheap ass smile for?" Draco growled, tilting his head, so his blonde hair fell sideways.

"I was just thinking, I bet you I could get with Ginny before Valentines' Day..." He smirked, watching Draco carefully. His stormy gray eyes widened slowly, and he smirked.

"All right, I bet I can get her by the end of next week." He laughed.

Blaise walked over and extended his hand, shaking Dracos' "Let the game begin..."
