"Oh, look, Astella, Ginny. I'm Barney the Fruit Bat!" Alexis exclaimed
taking a swig of her butterbeer like a celebrity endorsing it, just
quicker. She pulled the bottle slightly away from her lips and the bottle's
contents spilled all over the place, covering her new shirt in sticky goo.
"Smooth move, Don Juanita!" Ginny joked over the roar of the group.
In the meantime, Alexis had whipped out her wand and cleaned herself off. "I'm just batty for butterbeer!"
The group continued to laugh and soon things were down to giggles and resuming conversations. Their Ravenclaw friends joined them after the Barney the Bat incident.
Just then, the Mystery Guy that Alexis had seduced into providing the Slytherin house password, walked in with a group of his friends.
Alexis began to laugh and retold the story of her conversation with him. "Ginny, Astella, all of you, I must tell you something that will kill you because you laughed so hard! Okay, so I was flirting with that D-something- or-other bloke and all of a sudden, this line pops out of my mouth. I was just thinking of the whole Firebolt conversation we had and I said, I know two thousand things to do with a Firebolt and it has nothing to do with flying."
The group giggled hysterically and suddenly they heard a very intriguing voice. A very sexy male voice, Ginny noted.
"And you haven't yet showed me any of them."
"Hello there, handsome." She said with a very slight blush. "You ready for the ride?"
"I thought it didn't have anything to do with flying."
"It doesn't!"
"Ginny, Astella, Alexis, girls." Came a rather, geeky voice from behind the voice.
"Hey there everyone!" Harry said as he took a seat next to Astella and Ron sat next to his little sister.
"What's he doing here?" Hermione asked as she sat down next to Harry.
"Who?" Ginny asked cluelessly.
"Potter! Weasel. Granger. Well, the whole dork troop is here." Said Alexis' beau.
"Hey," Ginny stood up angrily. "Don't diss the last name, buddy! Or you'll end up with a black eye!"
"Sit down, Ginny." Ron said as he, too, stood up.
An astonished look came from the Mystery Man's face as he slowly looked around at the group.
"Exactly who are you?" Astella asked as she scooted over in her seat a little.
"A snake in the grass." Hermione hissed as she whipped her head around in disgust.
Ginny made no effort to talk but her friends chimed in, "He's Alexis'. All hers. Not ours. Look at her."
Ron and Hermione, and especially Harry chorused, "What?"
"It was Ginny's idea!" Alexis shrieked as she pointed to Ginny.
"Ginny!" Hermione, Ron and Harry chorused yet again.
"Well, who is this enemy of yours any ways?" Ginny yelled as she crossed her arms.
"Draco Malfoy, at your service."
Alexis slapped her knee yelling, "That's his name!"
"You forgot my name?" Draco shouted a little offended.
" Don't be sad," Ginny said patting his shoulder than wiping her hand on Ron's shirt. "She forgets everyone's name unless she's been watching their butts for a really long time, not that she hasn't been with you, she just pays more attention with the Gryffindor butts at the Quidditch matches because she sees them more often. Like Harry's and Seamus' and Ron's, and she even kissed Fred and George just for comparison, even though that's really gross!"
"We get the POINT, Ginny!" Alexis hissed through barred teeth.
"You look at my butt?" Harry asked in bewilderment as he stood up.
"It's a really nice one!" Protested Alexis defensively.
"What about my butt?" Draco demanded.
"Oh, she uses that Firebolt line on everyone!" Ginny shooed him away.
"She hasn't used it on me." Ron grumbled.
"You don't have a Firebolt." Ginny reminded him.
"That might be it." He considered.
"Ginny, this is all your fault!" Alexis roared.
"My fault? You didn't HAVE to accept the dare, you know!" Ginny shouted defensively.
"You know what, Lex? It would be great to get some time alone." Draco said as he grinned.
"HEY, THAT'S MY LINE!" Harry pointed at the smirking Draco.
"You know, Draco," Alexis said as she fanned her face with her hand. "This shouting has gotten me a little flushed. Let's go grab an ice cream back at the castle!" She said, latching on to his arm.
"Five Knuts was it?" Astella asked as she pulled out her purse.
"Yep. Did enough damage didn't it?" Ginny replied. Everyone was looking them at the moment.
"You were right," Astella began and Ginny joined in as they watched Draco and Alexis walk off. "Gold digger."
Alexis returned to the room that night with her shoes in one hand and jacket in the other. "Draco is an absolute doll! He's polite, friendly, he listens, he talks, he gives good advice, and he has a really nice ass and he is hung.."
Ginny covered her ears repeating, "No, Lexi, no!"
"I was just teasing Gins, get real."
"So are you going to go out with him again?" Astella asked as she sat up in her bed, hugging her knees.
"Hell no. He's more of Ginny's type than mine." Alexis replied.
"What?" Ginny whispered loudly, but she found that her friend had fallen asleep already.
The next morning Ginny awoke and found a note on Alexis' bed reading,
Dear Gin and Stella,
I'm off to the triple W, that's Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Stella. Off for some unnamed product. Watch your lunches dears! Toodles!
1 Lex
2 Isn't it the most adorable nickname? Draco gave it to me!
"How much you want to bet she gets a password while she's there, Stella?" Ginny inquired with a grin.
"Nothing. I don't want to keep losing my money." Astella muttered, glowering.
"It's not our fault she's so damn attractive." Ginny reminded her.
"But it's your fault for choosing the good side to bet on!" Astella murmured, going back to sleep.
"Well, it's all we can expect out of her." Ginny said. "It may be the only thing she finds herself good at.
Alexis had dark brown hair down to about three inches past her shoulders, her eyes were like two deep pools of the best hot chocolate you could buy, and she was so full of life that it was no wonder no male could stand just being friends. She had legs that went on for days, and a light, golden complexion. Despite her long legs, Alexis was categorized as petite, judging by her Magical Health Analysis. It promised that she would not grow any more, and that in standard measurements, she was only sixty-four inches tall.
None of the fifth year Gryffindor girls were unattractive.
Ginny was pretty in that girl next-door type of way. She sort of stunned you. She had dark auburn curls down to her mid-back and warm brown eyes. Very much like Alexis'. She had long legs and a very firm figure with a creamy complexion. And unlike Alexis, she was pretty tall for her age. Standard measurements- sixty-seven inches tall.
And Astella was pretty in that, teen-queen type of way. She had black hair down to the end of her back and light blue eyes. She was in between than the other two, but had long legs too; she had a very tan complexion.
Alexis entered the store and walked up to the counter where the twins were.
"Hey George, Fred." She said nodding at each.
"How could you tell I was Fred?" Fred asked as he looked up from his comic.
"The lips." She smiled as she walked over to a shelf of sticky goo.
She heard a "Huh?" from George as he awoke from drooling on the counter and placed his chin on his palm as he stared out the entrance. Alexis looked over once more to find that slowly, his chin slid down his arm and landed in a bowl of green goop.
"What?" He mumbled as he picked his head up, the goop hanging on to his chin, and the bowl hanging on to the goop, quite a sight to see actually.
It was definitely the lips with those two. Alexis thought as she fingered through a catalogue of items. She began to wander into the back as she heard the bell of the door ring.
Wonder who that is.
She heard the slightest bit of a friendly greeting from the front desk.
Must be someone they know.
As she picked up a book titled '2000 Ways To Eat A Cake', Harry walked down the isle.
"Harry! What a surprise!" Alexis said as she returned the book to the dusty shelf.
"Hey there, Alexis, and you have been here for.. How long?" He asked as he glanced at his watch. "It's only 10:00 a.m."
"I like to get out early." Alexis replied as she read the labels of some fake foods.
"And what are you doing here?" Harry asked as he picked up a square bottle with a purple ribbon hanging from the top.
"Looking for props. I'm running low, you know." She smiled as she found a box titled 'Snake Soup, Give Your Friends A Scare At Lunch!' and took it to the front.
"This will be it." She said as she grabbed the black bag that held her purchase.
"Listen, I just wanted to ask you," Before Harry could continue, he was given a look he could never forget.
"Yes, Harry?" Alexis asked as she put her hands on her hips, smiled, and cocked an eyebrow.
"Um, I forgot."
"You wanted to tell me, you forgot. Wow. I have that affect on people a lot." She sort of smirked at him.
"Now I remember." He said, propping himself up on the counter with his elbow.
"How?" Alexis asked, a sweet, yet coy smile tugging at her lips.
"That smirk- reminds me of Malfoy, er, Draco. I wanted to ask you if you really thought his butt was better than mine." Harry said a bit cockily, flashing her one of his rare flirtatious grins.
"If it makes you feel better, I was just telling the girls that I much preferred your butt to that D-something-or-other's." Alexis told him truthfully. "If you ever want to forget what you were going to say again, look me up. I'll be the one in the bikini."
"In the middle of autumn?" Harry called out after her.
She turned around and shrugged, "Risks, that's what life is all about!"
"Welcome home, me dear!" Astella said as she finished her homework from Charms.
"Hello, Astella. Where's Ginny?" Alexis asked as she set down the black plastic bag and began to search some of the rooms.
"I don't know. She was here a couple of minutes ago. Guess she went down to the library." Astella replied.
"Ginny, at the library, on a day like this?" Alexis looked astonished.
"Don't be too surprised. You got a restaurant invite from Seamus and some guy named Larry or something." Astella said as she stuffed the parchment into a desk drawer.
"Larry Delwinger?" Alexis asked. Astella nodded and Alexis fell down on the bed. "Larry Delwinger is going to Hogwarts? Oh, no. Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no!" Alexis screamed as she began to beat up her pillow.
"Well, well. We have a lost wittle Weasel. Or are you just a scum friend of Potter's?" Draco said as he picked out a book from the shelf Ginny was looking at.
"Piss off, asshole." Ginny said as she took out 'Famous Quotes And Phrases'. "And I happen to be the scum best friend of your date last night."
"Ouch!"
"What do you want, Malfoy?"
"A lot of things money can't buy."
"So it's not a whore."
"Well, I mean, I wouldn't really call you that, but if that's your opinion,"
"Oh, don't go all cliché on me and tell me you want me, you need me, you adore me, and all that other shit."
Malfoy moaned heavily. "Ohhh! Ginny! You won't believe all the times I've cried out your name in loneliness! Ginny! Come back to me Ginny!" Ginny hid her face in her book. "That is your name right?"
"Oh my god Malfoy! You wouldn't even know my name if I hadn't dared my friend to comment on your well-made Firebolt ass!" Ginny hissed.
"So you think my ass is Firebolt worthy?" He said, cocking an eyebrow and licking his lips mischievously.
Ginny threw her book at him and hissed, "Stop talking to me!"
"My pleasure! So where is the choice location of our make-out session?"
"What?"
"Well, you said stop talking and that usually means, do me, do me now!"
"You horny little bastard! I'm not your usual type of girl."
"Why else do you think I'm doing this? I want find out what's under those robes.. In that mind!"
"Go find a tree to fuck or something." Ginny shot him a look as she walked away.
"I'd rather it be you Ginny!" He screamed at her retreating figure. "Ohhh! Ginny! GINNY!" He shouted gathering everyone's attention.
"Alexis, get your randy bastard of an ex-date the hell away from me." Ginny snapped the instant she saw her friend and Alexis looked up, as innocently as she could pretend to be.
"Oh, Ginny! Has he flirted with you? That's great!" Alexis exclaimed.
"Are you out of your bloody mind?" Ginny demanded. "It's horrible!"
"You know, you should really thank me." Alexis told her and Ginny's jaw dropped. "I'm the one who got him interested in you in the first place."
"And I'm supposed to thank you for that?!?!?" Ginny bellowed.
"You know, you ought to be complimented. After all, he even talked to you, knowing who you are and all." Alexis informed her in the sweetest tone.
Ginny stared at her in horror. She actually believed that she was doing Ginny a favor by setting her up with the cockiest, most egotistical, most bigheaded, handsome bastard in school.
"After all, Draco goes for a more—Well, me. You know, the stunningly gorgeous flirt? Or Astella, the statuesque beauty." Alexis told her perkily.
"So I'm supposed to be complimented that he finds me remotely attractive? I'm not that ugly, you know!" Ginny protested. Alexis waved her hand at her as if to say, 'Go on, silly girl, amuse me more.'
"That's not what I meant. Draco is more for the stunners, the scene stealers, the names that come instantly with a reputation that says, 'Guess what? Draco's a man because he got so-and-so.' It's not that you aren't pretty, Gin. You're gorgeous. But you're gorgeous in that girl-next-door way. And Draco was never a girl-next-door kind of guy and now he is!" Alexis exclaimed excitedly. "We have to send you back in something far more interesting than that!"
"So, you're saying he's the girl-next-door type?" Ginny asked cautiously after a moment. Alexis nodded. "So he's the girl next door?"
Alexis groaned. "Oh, Ginny, you're totally and completely useless!"
(A/N: That last bit was just done by Mandy, my best friend, who has taken a great interest in this fic.)
"Smooth move, Don Juanita!" Ginny joked over the roar of the group.
In the meantime, Alexis had whipped out her wand and cleaned herself off. "I'm just batty for butterbeer!"
