(A/N: When Ginny and Alexis are talking and there aren't any quotation
marks, they are writing notes back and forth. Thanx! --NIX)
The next day Ginny woke up a bit later than she normally did and found that Alexis was already up and gone, most likely due to matter of habit. So she picked out a white blouse, identical to the one Alexis had worn the other day and a jean skirt. She pulled the top of her curly auburn hair back into a clip and smeared some light peach lip-gloss on her lips. She pulled on her knee high leather boots and made her way to the Great Hall where she found Ron, Harry, Seamus, Astella and Valerie.
"Hey, Gins, nice do." Astella commented as she pointed to Ginny's hair.
"Thanks, Stella. Hey, Val, Seamus, Harry, brother." Ginny said as she took a seat next to Ron.
"My Ginny, you look civil today." Ron said, sipping his iced tea.
"My Ron, did you think that one up all by yourself?" Ginny smiled as Ron gave her a playful smirk and continued to sip his drink. "Heard any word from mum yet?"
"Not yet, Gins. But we will." Ron replied, patting her hand. "I'm sure."
Ginny smiled and began to take small gulps of her orange juice and eat portions of her food.
"Ginny, why aren't you eating?" Valerie asked as she jumped out of Seamus' lap and sat in the empty seat next Ginny.
"I'm just a bit worried about finals." Ginny said with a sigh.
"You mean the finals two months from now?" Valerie asked sarcastically.
"Very funny, Val. Very funny." Ginny replied as she cocked her head and raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't she though?" Seamus asked. Right then Alexis walked in with Jason, Draco and Pansy.
"Oh, no she isn't!" Ginny said as she saw Pansy's arm intertwined with Draco's.
"Seek, doggy." Ron muttered as he laid his head back rubbed his temples.
Ginny got up and straightened out her skirt. She smiled a bit and began a cool, slow walk over to where the group was standing while a trail of wolf calls and whistles came from behind her. Draco turned his head a bit and gasped as he saw his girlfriend smiling at the sight of the termite Pansy, practically chewing off his arm.
"A gold digger now, Pansy?" Ginny asked as she surprised the whole group with her poise and calmness in the situation. Normally she would explode and come ranting and raving, but right now she was very calm.
"Why keep your cool, Ginny, when you know your man is being stolen?" Pansy asked with an evil glare.
"Because you have breakfast in between your teeth." Ginny smiled as Pansy began to rummage through her bag and pull out a mirror. After a few seconds she found the huge piece of egg crammed between her two front teeth and screamed at the finding.
"How attractive." Alexis said with a laugh as Pansy ran off crying from humiliation. "Gins, that was cruel."
"Oh, come on, Lexi. I had to." Ginny said as she latched onto Draco's arm, however, he didn't refuse.
"Hey, doll." He said giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Hey, babe." Ginny replied with a smile.
"And to think I'M your friend and you have a steady relationship." Alexis drawled sarcastically.
"Oh, there, there. Just because you're a gold digger doesn't mean you have to be sad." Ginny said.
"If I was gold digger I should have gold, shouldn't I?" Alexis said and then walked off to class, Harry following closely behind. She turned a corner and then realized that she had forgotten her books. As she turned around she almost ran into Harry. She moved to the right, but Harry imitated her and did the same. So, she moved to the left, however, Harry was there too.
"Come on, Lexi! Talk to me!" Harry pleaded.
"Why should I? I don't talk to men unless I'm forced to because, they are significant to a female friend or relative, they are my own friend, or, he's considered proposing to me in the next twenty years."
"What about Ron?"
"Ginny, duh."
"Seamus?"
"Valerie."
"Jason?"
"Malfoy."
"Malfoy?"
"I would have had sex with him in the Great Hall to get you notice me, Harry! And he would have proposed to me during the first two minutes of our flirting, in case you hadn't noticed!"(A/N: Mandy all the way! This sentence was brought to you by long distance phone services!)
"Why?"
"Oh, my god. You are so clueless! Shit I'm late for class!"
"No! Alexis, wait!"
"Go away you horny, four-eyed, bow-legged, 300 pound, craw-eyed, dropped on his head when he was a baby, cheap, can't tell the difference between Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures, bastard, horklump!" Alexis yelled down the hall as she ran to class.
"Ouch!" Came the voices of everyone in Gryffindor house besides Harry and the people younger than fifth years, as Ginny explained what she had heard as she waited outside the classroom for Alexis, and Draco waited for Ginny.
Once Draco got to Potions class, which he wasn't late for, he explained to everyone what had happened. Even he felt sorry for Harry, and when Harry came into the classroom he had gotten two weeks worth of detention, which he would serve with Alexis.
"I can't believe I got a weeks worth of detention because of what Mr. Potter made me do." Alexis complained, as she and Ginny made their way to Herbology, Valerie and Astella were close behind.
"Come on, Lexi. At least this way you can get him back in detention." Ginny suggested.
"I have to have detention with that?" Alexis scowled as they reached greenhouse 4 and walked in. They took a seat on the bench in the back and began to write notes back and forth.
I can't believe I have to have a weeks detention, a week!
It could be worse
Like what
You could be in for two weeks
Thanks for the comfort, Gins
No problem, Lexi
Gins, what do you think Harry thinks of me?
I don't think you care about anything else but that
Yeah, right, just tell me, okay?
Well, he likes you, happy?
Yeah, well, that's just tough for him, because I hate his guts!
1 I'm sure
"And who knows what to mix with the soil to make sure the plant grows nice and strong?" Professor Sprout asked.
Astella raised her hand and answered the question correctly, as Ginny and Alexis were shaken back into the real world. Once class had filed out Professor Sprout asked for the two to stay behind. "Now girls," He began. "I do not tolerate note passing in my classes. That's a week's detention for you, Alexis, and two days for Ginny. I'm sorry, maybe you'll learn a lesson, hmmm?"
"What was that worse case scenario you were talking about, Ginny?" Alexis asked as she sighed.
"Shut up, Lexi. Just shut up."
"Hey, I'm the one with two weeks of detention, and one of those with Harry."
Ginny turned around.
"Ginny, is there something you're not telling me."
"He got two weeks of detention."
That day they were called up to detention in Professor McGonagall's room, joined by Harry and other select few.
"Professor McGonagall?" Alexis raised her hand.
"Yes, child?" The woman asked.
"Do I have to sit next to Potter?"
"When did you two enter the last name basis? To me, friendships are supposed to be going forwards, not backwards."
"Ever since he became undesirable to be around." Alexis replied with a huff.
"You're the one being stubborn." Harry muttered under his breath.
"Well, Miss Jenkins, I'm going to have to fulfill your request seeing as you two won't last a detention without killing each other if I don't." Professor McGonagall waved Alexis to a table further back.
"Thank you." Alexis said smugly sticking her tongue out at Harry, and getting the same from him back.
"Oh. How mature!" Ginny drawled.
"That's another detention. Miss Weasley, for that outburst." McGonagall snapped as she took her seat behind the tall oak desk.
