"Okay," Ginny began. "Lets go over this again. Just in case." She added
as she picked up the book and began to recite the rules for maintaining a
cauldron for the Potions exam.
"Well, Ginny. You've improved terrifically. Faster than most of my students!" Said Ginny's most handsome brunette tutor.
"I sure hope so!" Ginny said closing the book. Just then Alexis walked in and dumped her daily purchase on the sofa.
"Hey, Gin. So, you finally got a tutor. Oh, my god! He's so hot!" Alexis said as she looked up from her new black dress. "Did I just say that out loud?"
"Max, this Alexis. She's very full of life." Ginny said as she introduced the tow.
"You forgot the great looks and extremely intelligent wit." Alexis said proudly with a seductive smile curving her face.
"And the modesty. Oh, the modesty." Ginny smiled at her friend's glare.
But Alexis skipped away calling, "I'm getting some make up for you sweety, that sun doesn't do anything for your complexion!"
"She means well." Ginny said hopefully. "She just wasn't born with any manners or tact."
Ginny found herself in the library again as she searched for the perfect weekend book. She whispered the titles quietly to herself and came to a book titled, 'The Ways The Wind Works'. She began to read the summary until she felt the hand of someone caressing her bare shoulder.
"Hello, there, angel face." Came the voice of Draco Malfoy.
"Go away, Malfoy." Ginny said as she slid into a chair in the corner of the large room.
"I believe we're on a first name basis now, Ginny." Draco said as he slid in after her and wrapped his firm arm around her shoulders. "After all, angel face, I've had a kiss of heaven."
"You know, Alexis is going to be really, really upset when she finds out about this." Ginny snapped as she scooted away from him more.
"Ginny, Ginny, Ginny. Calm down. Let's just let things take their toll." Draco said squeezing her tighter and pointing over to a girl making out with some guy. "Besides, she's having plenty of fun without me."
"Dammit Alexis! Why can't you be focused on ONE thing at a time?" Ginny muttered under her breath.
"You can't change everyone, Ginny. But some people have changed since they were little boys."
"Are we talking about Alexis or someone else?"
"Both, I guess."
"So, you're saying you're a girl?"
"Ginny, you're helpless!" Alexis shouted. "She thinks you are a great kisser, Draco!"
Draco smiled at her, "You do?" Ginny swore she saw him blush.
"Don't flatter yourself!" Ginny snapped standing up.
"Please, don't leave." Draco said touching her arm lightly.
"Is this a gentle side?"
"I hope so."
"Why is that?"
"Because I don't want to be mean to you."
"Why me?"
"You're everything I need, want, and more."
"And how did you come up with what you wanted or needed?"
"I looked at you."
Ginny was speechless. Was he being nice? Actually, nice? This was a first. But was it a trick? So many thoughts were swimming in Ginny's head so all she could is turn around and say goodbye.
"You can't leave yet." He told her, standing up and grabbing her wrist. He spun her around to face him.
"Why not?" Ginny asked quietly.
"Because the last time we said goodbye, we kissed. I would kind of like that to be a tradition, you know?" With that, he gave her a short, sweet kiss and she didn't move. "Weren't you going somewhere?"
Ginny shook her head dumbly. "Nuh-uh." With that they embraced passionately and kissed. They kissed every way they knew how. They just kissed.
Ginny felt like she was going to die. Why was she not fighting?
Because this feels GREAT, stupid!! Came a voice inside her head. And it was right.
From a distance Alexis said, "Awwwww! It's just as I had planned! Except for that whole randy bastard part but… Oh well!"
"You were saying Lex?" Came a male voice from behind her.
"Oh, which one are you?"
"You forgot my name?"
"Ron, where's Ginny?" Harry asked as he returned to the common room. "And Alexis, and Astella?"
"Did you check the library?" Ron said as he moved one of his pieces in a chess game against Seamus.
Seamus remembered that he was paid to keep those two from the library until 2:00. It was 1:45. "Wait you guys! Harry, Alexis said she wanted you to meet her in the observation tower, and Ron, finish the game first!" Seamus said before they could get up.
"Bye!" Harry said quickly as he rushed to the observation tower.
Half and hour had passed and Ginny returned to the Common Room with smeared lipstick and her shoes in her hand.
"Hi, bro." She said happily as she went to the girls dormitory.
"Ahhh," Ron began, than he got up quickly and ran after her. "Uh- uh. Ginny. Ginny! GINNY!"
"Hey there, Lexi." Ginny said as she sat up in bed and put down her book.
"Hey there, girlie. So, how come you and Harry never became an item?" Alexis asked changing into her pajamas and then crawling under the covers of her bed. "I still can't believe I gave you window side." She added.
"Why? Expecting a fly by in the night?" Ginny teased as she put her book on the dresser and turned off the lamp.
"Maybe. You didn't answer my question."
"I just didn't know him well enough. That, and he would never be my boyfriend anyway."
"And I stole him already."
"Yes you did, you little tramp!" Ginny yawned as she turned over.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Alexis sighed and soon they were both asleep.
A loud tapping came from outside Ginny's window. She awoke with a start and saw that it was two in the morning. Alexis had her headphones on and couldn't hear a thing, and they shared a room, so Ginny was the only one to hear it.
"Ginny!" A voice came from the window. "Ginny open up!"
As she did, she found Draco Malfoy holding tulips and roses to her.
"For you, milady." He said handing them to her. She smelt them and smiled with delight. He offered her his hand and she just couldn't refuse. Then she woke up.
"Huh?" Ginny said as she sat up in bed. It was eight in the morning and the sun was shining through the silky curtains of the nearby window onto her bed.
"Morning sunshine." Alexis said as she threw some clothes down on her bed.
"Was I asleep the whole time?"
"The whole time of what? Ginny, are you feeling okay?" Alexis asked as she gazed on her friend with a look of confusion.
"I had a dream that Draco flew up to the window and gave me flowers, and took me flying." Ginny retold her dream rubbing her head.
"Well, sounds like a good dream to me. I didn't hear anything last night, and didn't even have my headphones on." Alexis said as she helped Ginny out of bed. "Upsy daisy!"
"Where are you going?" Ginny asked after she got done washing her face and brushing her hair.
"You mean WE." Alexis said as she threw the job offer article down on the bed for Ginny to see.
"What will I wear?" Ginny smiled.
"Well, you all seem very well qualified, so you may all have the jobs!" Said the cheery old lady at the Three Broomsticks.
Ginny, Alexis, Astella, Valerie, Pansy, and two of Pansy's friends got the jobs.
"See you out there, girls." Pansy said with a grin.
"I'm going to bitch slap her someday!" Alexis said as she pounded a fist into her other hand.
"After me you will." Ginny said as she pulled her friend back into the dressing rooms.
"Ginny, do these seem, tight?" Astella asked as she stepped out from behind the changing curtain. "Or, rather, short?
"Both." Ginny said, as she looked herself over and sighed.
They were wearing short denim skirts, and blue halter-tops that went down to just above their stomachs with 'Three Broomsticks' written across the chest area.
"Pansy must love her outfit." Alexis said as she scratched her head and spit her gum out in the trashcan. "Not that I don't!" She smiled mischievously.
The day at the Three Broomsticks was long for Ginny. She had to deal with Pansy as her co-worker and Draco came to visit every other half hour. "Does it seem strange that he comes to see me, and never talks to me?" Ginny asked Alexis after a while.
"You can't blame him though. He's got Pansy on his hiney." Alexis smiled.
"You can't get over being smug at the fact that you fixed us up for twp seconds and now I hate him again, can you?"
"You hating him wasn't supposed to happen. It just did."
"Mhmm."
"Really, Ginny! He likes you a lot. And you think he's a great kisser."
"I do not."
"You told me so yourself!"
"I did not!"
"And you scream out his name in your sleep, Draco! Draco! Kiss me you fool!"
"I do NOT!"
"Do to."
"Do not."
"Do to times a trillion!" (Mandy must lead such a simple life.)
"Do not times a trillion plus two!"
"Dammit, you always win." Alexis said with a sigh. "I guess I'll just have to flirt with Harry."
"And this time I don't have to bet Astella that you'd get a password."
"True! Very true!" Alexis exclaimed happily. She then looked over and smiled. "Ginny, Draco is staring at your ass."
"He is not!" Ginny yelled. She was washing the tables and her butt was in perfect view for Draco.
"Is to." Alexis said and then walked off triumphantly.
"Dammit!"
"Pansy, it's okay, I'm fine." Draco said as he tried to maneuver around the annoyance that in Pansy Parkinson.
"Oh, but you have a spill on your pants!"
"That's my zipper! And no, Pansy, it can't go down!"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive!"
Draco finally got around Pansy and sat down at the bar. He looked over at Ginny and then saw Ron and Harry walk through the door.
"Perfect!"
"Listen Harry, I'm not sure that I… Ginny, what in the hell do you have on?" Ron exclaimed as he saw what his little sister was wearing. Or rather NOT wearing.
"Ron, it's my uniform. I couldn't help it this time." Ginny said directing them to a seat far away from the bar.
"You cold have denied the job!"
"Yeah, right. Like I was going to pass up this salary!"
"But Ginny!"
"Well, Ginny. You've improved terrifically. Faster than most of my students!" Said Ginny's most handsome brunette tutor.
"I sure hope so!" Ginny said closing the book. Just then Alexis walked in and dumped her daily purchase on the sofa.
"Hey, Gin. So, you finally got a tutor. Oh, my god! He's so hot!" Alexis said as she looked up from her new black dress. "Did I just say that out loud?"
