Sorry for the long wait, it was her fault! ::points at Ginny::
No it wasn't!
Yes it was!
No it- shutting up

"No please! Put the wand down!!!! AHHHHHHHH!"
Ginny giggled as a giant polka-dotted bow appeared on Draco's head. He quickly yanked it off and threw it into the pile of things Ginny had made appear. He refused to admit it, but she was actually really good at the whole magic thing, but she was so annoying that it wasn't very obvious.
"Hey! That looked good!" Ginny squealed.
"No, it didn't you dork!"
Ginny gasped, "I am not a dork! I'm a ditz!"
"What's the difference?"
"One starts with a 'D'"
Draco rolled his eyes, still trying to escape Ginny's wrath.
"Can I please go?"
"But… but this is fun!"
"Not for me!" Draco yelled, "Besides, we have to go back to the common room or else we'll get in trouble."
"I don't wanna get in trouble!" Ginny shrieked, grabbing Draco's arm, "To the common room!" she cried, sprinting down the hall, dragging Draco with her. After speeding down staircases, through the same hallways, then back up the same staircases, Ginny came to a sudden halt, causing Draco to crash into her.
"I just realized something," she giggled, "I don't know where the common room is!"
"Then get lost and end up somewhere far far away," Draco mumbled, walking away.
"Wait!"
Surprised by what he was doing, he turned around, "What?"
"I don't wanna be lost," she said slowly.
Draco looked at her, she was giving him a pathetic attempt at a pout, which made her look like a drowning goldfish, but he had a feeling she would scream for a really long time if he didn't help her.
"Fine, just follow me and keep your wand in your pocket."
Ginny saluted, hitting herself in the forehead, "Ow! Yes Sir!"
And they both headed down the corridor.

"So, your last name is Black?" Ron asked Nikki, back inside the Gryffindor common room.
"Yeah."
"Are you related to Sirius?" Harry asked. The three had gotten over the fact that Nikki and Ginny knew who Sirius was rather quickly when Nikki assured them she believed he was innocent.
"I don't think so. I mean, we live on different continents, not to mention in different times, so it never really crossed my mind. Black's a pretty popular last name."
"Yeah, I guess," Harry said, leaning back in his chair.
"But you look like him," Ron said, surveying Nikki's raven-colored hair and gray eyes.
"Lots of people look like him. Black hair is common too."
"But people who look like Sirius and have the same last name as him are not so common," Hermione pointed out.
"Coincidence," Nikki said, waving her hand dismissively. She didn't want them to be right, because that would lead to some seriously weird questions for her parents, and for Sirius, and could eventually become another "Are You My Mother?" book. She had accepted the fact that she had somehow landed in Harry Potter land, she accepted that she somehow was able to meet Ginny, whom she'd only met online before. But she couldn't accept this; it was too weird.
Hermione noted her uncomfort and quickly changed the subject, "Shall we go down to dinner?"
"Yeah, ok." Harry agreed, getting up.
"But wait, I wanna know-"
"Come on Ron!" Hermione said, taking his arm and leading him out of the common room.
Nikki laughed as she watched them walk away, she was one of the people who believed that the two were secretly in love with each other, but they just didn't know it.
"I'm sorry Nikki," Harry said once the two were gone, "I didn't mean to make you upset I was just curious about-"
"It's ok," Nikki interrupted, "I don't care, really. Come on let's go, I have to find Ginny and make sure she didn't kill anyone."
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
As she walked into the Great Hall, Nikki was relieved to find that Draco was still alive and looked like his normal self. Ginny was sitting next to him; Crabbe and Goyle flanked them, still looking apprehensive about being around her. Nikki smiled, seeing the look on Draco's face as Ginny chattered away; Pansy Parkinson and her gang of friends looked on in jealousy.
"Nikki, you coming?"
"What? Oh right. Yeah, I'm coming." Nikki followed Harry to the Gryffindor table, sitting next to him. She could hear the whispers that followed her as she passed, she knew people were wondering why they were here; come to think of it, she was beginning to wonder the same thing.
*BOOM*
The entire hall jumped from an earsplitting bang followed by a very feminine shriek.
"Oopsies," Ginny said, picking a flower off of Draco's robes, which were now covered in multicolored petals. Draco looked at himself in horror as the students erupted in laughter. Nikki felt a little sorry for him, being embarrassed in front of everyone, but then she remembered how mean he was, and the feeling passed. Ron was having trouble breathing, he was laughing so hard; Harry was chortling beside him, and even Hermione was giggling to herself at the sight of their archenemy trying to pick flowers off his robes. Ginny wasn't helping, being as she was waving her wand around, trying frantically to get them off; which only resulted in Crabbe and Goyle joining the flower party, and for a large shower of water to come spilling onto Draco's head. He sputtered and choked, he was a big mess of wet flowers.
"Oooh!" Ginny cried, "April showers bring May flowers! You're a poem Draco!"
He glared at her, and for a moment he considered hexing her, but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to do it. He figured it was because she could take him out with a flick of her wand, even if she didn't mean it.
At the teachers' table, Snape was silently laughing. He was no longer pink, and Ginny was finally leaving him alone-
POOF!!!
Spoke too soon, he thought as April showers and May flowers fell on his head.
