Ginny was feeling bored. She did not want to study right now. She'd rather
be smoking outside. Yet she had to go for her tuitions with her worst
enemy. She wasn't too happy about that either.
After visiting the restroom and washing her mouth, she made her way towards the library. Draco was already there. He had seated himself on one of the tables at the back of the library. 'Probably to be as inconspicuous as possible' thought Ginny to herself.
Letting her bag drag on the floor, she went to the back of the library and said a sullen 'hello' to Malfoy, which he returned equally sullenly.
"What do you want to start with?" Draco asked her, his voice devoid of any devotion to the task that lay before him.
"Transfiguration I guess, as that is my most difficult subject." Ginny said perking a little interest. She had always liked transfiguration and wanted to train to be an animagus. But after she had started smoking she had given up her interest in almost everything.
Malfoy took her textbook from her. It was riddled with tiny scribbles of Mrs. Norris being tortured along with Argus Filch. Seeing them in the littlest Weasley's textbook, he let out a little chuckle, which drew Ginny's attention to him, from whatever she was doing.
"What's so funny?" she asked slightly irritated.
"This picture you have drawn of Argus and Norris trapped with your brothers. Aren't those the twins?" he asked her pushing the book in her direction.
"Yes, they are throwing fireworks at them." Said Ginny a slight smile appearing on her face. With one hand she brushed a strand of hair that had fallen into her eyes. Malfoy was acting real nice. It was so surprising that it nearly scared her.
Draco looked at her with some interest. He had always though of her as mild. But her she was scribbling death treats to Filch.
He turned the first page of the textbook. "Take out your wand, Weasley. Let's start with the basics first."
Ginny took out her wand. It was brand new. No hand- me-downs for her. She had just got it last summer.
"Lets start with turning a rat into a goblet, shall we? Or do you want o try something else? Like turning it into gold so that your family can use it?"
'There, he is back to his usual self. No question about that. A Leopard never changes his spots or in this case the dragon never changes his scales.' She thought to herself. But aloud he said, 'shut up Malfoy. Just get on with the lesson.'
Draco was not surprised. He had expected such a rebuke from her. Smoking often made people testy. But even he was asking for it.
"He took out two small rats from a packet in his bag. Mcgonagall had given them to him today just before the lesson. He gave Ginny one and kept the scraggly looking one for him wishing that in some way it would turn into potter and then he could turn that into a goblet. Now that would be pure joy to his heart.
He turned his attention to Ginny. She was poking the rat's eyes with her wand. And the rat didn't look like he was enjoying it. Draco gave a shiver, which was most unlike him. The rat slunk away against the wall. 'Yuck' he thought. He had always hated rodents.
"Okay Weasley watch how I do it. And do the same thing." He said in a schoolteacher like voice.' Pulling his wand out from his pocket and keeping the rat on the table he waved the wand at it and muttered the spell. And the ugly rat became a beautiful golden goblet with little red stones on the rim.
Even though Ginny did not say anything, he knew she was impressed. He was very good at transfiguration and even Professor Mcgonagall admitted that much.
Taking her own wand, muttered the spell softly and instead of the rat there was a golden goblet similar to Draco's except with green stones around the rim.
"I did it," she said with a smile on her face. " That was easy."
"Yeah Weasley lets get on with the next one."
And so the evening passed. They converted a book into a pen, a table into a chair and even a pencil into a small plastic dragon, all the while fighting and arguing quietly among them.
Around 8:30, mcgonagall visited the library to check on them. They had put their transformations on one side of the table and were doing their separate reading. Going up to them she said,
"I see u have done a splendid job, Mr. Malfoy. You may both go now. You will however come her tomorrow once again. Don't forget, either one of you." ________________________________________________________________________
'That was kind of nice. Sure, Malfoy was his usual obnoxious self, but he was really trying to be polite. What's he is up to?" thought Ginny to herself once safely back in her room. _______________________________________________________________________
(A/n) how was it? I hope you all like it. I am trying to write longer chapters, but I have school and that is kind of difficult to cope up with. Bear w/me. Next chapter will be up by Wednesday, most probably.
