Chapter Two
She's Got Pretty Smile
She's got a pretty smile She walks around In circles in my head Waiting for a chance to break me
Chance to take me, down.
The next morning, Draco was the first one to wake. He shifted so that Ginny was lying on his lap and began stroking her hair. After a few minutes, Ginny began to stir.
As soon as Ginny woke, she felt warm and comforted. She never wanted to move from this position, until she realized it was a man caressing her hair.
Ginny blinked, and moved her head to see who was holding her. When she saw Draco looking down at her, she smiled.
"Good morning," he said, grinning down at Ginny.
"Good morning," she repeated.
"I think we'd better go down to the Great Hall. People might be looking for us."
"Uh. yeah. Good idea. Ron will probably be wondering what we're doing."
Before they went to the Great Hall, they chose to shower and change. Draco, as usual, wore a black cashmere shirt with a v-neck collar and black pants. Ginny wore a green v-neck ¾ sleeve sweater and denim flares.
They arrived at the Great Hall hand in hand, they received many startled stares from their fellow students. Draco, who was no longer used to attention, became nervous. When he earned a calming squeeze from Ginny, he slowly relaxed.
Ginny and Draco chose to sit at the Gryffindor table. Across from them were Harry and his partner Christopher McNelson, from Hufflepuff. Harry was also sitting next to Hermione and her partner Grace Milone, from Ravenclaw. Ginny sat in between Draco and Ron. Oddly enough, Ron too was partnered with a Slytherin by the name of Alexandra Sondrine.
Alexandra Sondrine happened to be a close friend of the Malfoy family. During the war, she was sent to a wizarding school in America and just returned this year. She has long silver hair that reached the small of her back and eyes of violet. Her skin was slightly tanned from the time she spent on the beaches in America. And though you couldn't tell from looking, Alexandra had veela blood running through her veins.
When Draco and Ginny were finally comfortable, Hermione decided to start a conversation between them.
"Hi Ginny, Draco. This is Grace from Ravenclaw, Chris from Hufflepuff, and Alexandra who is a-"
"I know who she is." Interrupted Draco. "Alexandra DeLareign Sondrine. How could I possibly forget someone who I've known all my life?" He casually smiled at her, who smiled back.
"Draco has been trying to ignore me since I've come back to Hogwarts. Something about. me embarrassing him."
Ron, who had kept himself busy by staring longingly at Alexandra, snapped back to reality when the opportunity to 'embarrass' Draco came. "What do you know about him that could possibly tarnish Malfoy's image?"
Alexandra looked at him and smiled, "Oh, I couldn't. It's just so difficult for poor Draco. Besides, I haven't been here at Hogwarts for a while. Ron, do you mind if we walk around a bit?"
Ron's face lit like a child about to receive his first broomstick. "Sure. We can walk." Alexandra and Ron left the Great Hall and set off.

After breakfast, Hermione, Harry, Grace, and Chris headed to the Gryffindor Common room to play Exploding Snap, and Draco and Ginny went walking around the lake.
"So." began Ginny, "Alexandra Sondrine. How do you know her?"
Draco looked upwards, then returned his gaze to the snow covered ground. "Her father and my father once worked together in the Ministry. Our families were pretty close. A short while before the war, Lucius offered Mr. Sondrine a place with Voldemort. Although Sondrine had knowledge of the Dark Arts, no one ever knew where he stood. When he refused, our families severed relations."
"Oh. So, before that. How well did you two know each other?" asked Ginny.
"Lexi and I were close friends. We played together when we were children, and we were each other's closest confident. I did, at one point, grow quite fond of her, in fact. But then, something told me she would only be a friend. I was right. It seems she's found your brother to her liking." Ginny began to laugh. "But I must say, I never thought she would find red hair attractive."
Ginny scowled at Draco and demanded, "Whatever is wrong with red hair?"
Draco grinned. "On you. nothing."
She returned the grin and they walked back into the castle.
~*~ Ron and Alexandra walked into the Library. They had been talking for what seemed like hours, and had a great time.
".But I have to say that Puddlemere is the second best Quidditch team."
"Really?" asked Ron, "And who in your opinion- if I dare ask- is your the best Quidditch team?"
Alexandra laughed, "The Chudley Cannons of course."
Ron stopped walking and dropped his jaw. "Di-did you just say the Chudley Cannons?" Alexandra nodded. "They're my favorite team!"
She smiled, "Really? I'm a big fan. I've seen almost all their games. I'm supposed to be going to see them with my cousin in a few weeks, maybe you could come?"
"That would be wicked!"
The two continued to walk through out the school.

A/N: Okay this is chapter one! It took me 14 weeks to do this chapter, can you believe it? I like to work slow or else the story looks rushed. The best stories that I work on take at least three weeks.
Well, I'm just overwhelmed! The Child of Malfoy is taking longer than I thought. I really hate that story. I still think it's a mistake and a waste of time, but lots of people like it. Personally I think it sucks monkeys.
Accidents Happen is still being worked on, it's my second favorite fic I've made. This is my first. Now and then I'll make short fics when I'm bored so pay attention to my updating!
