"So, your friend Astella, she likes Ron, eh?" Sirius asked as he sipped
some tea from a decorated cup.
"She's practically in love with him." Ginny laughed as she sipped some butterbeer.
"In love? Well, well, well. Sounds a whole lot like you and Draco." Sirius teased as Ginny nudged him playfully in the ribs.
"Yeah, me and Draco are doing real good. But, hell, Ron and Harry are giving me all kinds of lectures and does and don'ts and just a truck load of crap that I don't want to hear." Ginny sighed as she put her cup back down on the table.
"That can happen. But, Ginny, Ron lives in a place where he's the only male sibling left now that Fred and George are off making a living and living by themselves. And, Harry, well, I can't give you an excuse for Harry." Sirius set his eyes on a light post across the street. "Well, I guess I'd better be getting you back home." He added as a waitress handed him the check.
"I'll pay my bit." Ginny said as she took out her purse.
"Oh, no. I'll do it." Sirius insisted as he left a few Knuts and he and Ginny made their way to the secret entrance (or exit depending on how you look at it) into (or out of) Hogwarts.
"Thanks for coming to see me." Ginny smiled as the opening appeared and she stepped in.
"I'll write." Ginny heard Sirius say as she disappeared into the darkness.
Soon Ginny awoke to the sun shining onto her bed and into her eyes. As her 'hazel beauties', as Draco called them, opened, she smiled and stretched out. She stood up and woke Alexis up. Alexis snorted as Ginny held her nose shut (the only way to awake Alexis).
"Good morning, Gins." Alexis said sleepily as she rubbed her eyes.
"Morning, Lexi." Ginny replied as she began brushing her teeth.
"We going anywhere today?" Alexis asked as she started going through her closet. She pulled out a purple halter-top and a denim skirt. "What do you want to wear?"
"One, we're going to go to that new club in Hogsmeade and two, get me out anything dramatic." Ginny yelled back.
"Okay!" Alexis smiled. She put her first outfit back and picked out two more she deemed worthy for the occasion.
"What do you want to do first? Go down and eat breakfast, or go out and eat breakfast?" Ginny asked as she jumped into the seat next to Alexis in the common Room.
"Go down and eat breakfast. If we went out it would be on me." Alexis said with a smile. "What do you think Astella is going to do about that prat of a brother of yours?"
"I have no idea."
"Ginny! Ginny, wait up!" Astella yelled down the corridor.
"What is it Astella?" Ginny asked surprised.
"What am I going to do about Ron?"
"Lord only knows."
"Please?"
"I don't know, cook?"
"Come on, Gins."
"Come on, what? The old saying applies more to Ron than anyone else, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
"How can I seduce your brother?"
"Eww! I didn't need to hear that! I haven't had my coffee yet!"
"Ginny!"
"Astella, no! I am not going to help you out with this one right now. Later, maybe, but probably not."
"But, Gins.." Astella complained.
"Listen, you deserve better than that prat of a brother of mine." Ginny said as she put her hand on Astella's shoulder.
"But I want to be his." Astella whined.
"Not today. And besides, Alexis knows more about seducing my brothers than I ever will, thank God. However, why it may be relieving that I don't know how to seduce my brothers, Alexis could actually become a problem.." Ginny was ranting, and she narrowly missed the light bulb lighting up above Astella.
Alexis and Ginny walked around the club and settled at a table near the back wall where no one was.
"This is so much fun." Alexis smiled clapping her hands happily. The club was filled with people and there were lights flashing on and off and music playing loudly. Crowds of friends gathered around inside of the middle and began to 'groove to the music'.
"I'm so glad you're enjoying it." Ginny said, rather sarcastically.
"Oh, Gins, aren't you having fun?" Alexis grinned as she pulled Ginny out onto the dance floor. They began to dance and then soon they had the attention of every guy in the club. Ginny's flashy auburn hair and Alexis' moves drew every male within a three-mile radius. "See, Gins, fun!"
"Oh yeah, Lexi, real fun." Ginny smiled back at her grinning friend as girls fumbled to retrieve their straying guys.
"Hello, girls." Came a rather familiar voice from behind Ginny.
Dean and Seamus were with the rest of the Quidditch team, standing behind them all with their tongue's hanging out. (Except for Ron and Seamus of course)
"Why, hello fellows." Alexis said as she cocked her eyebrow and put her hands on her hips.
"Look, Lexi, gentlemen with their tongues hanging out. How rude!" Ginny smiled as the rest recovered their senses.
"Gins, I think they liked watching us dance to the music."
"Seamus is taken and Ron's my brother.." Ginny began.
"And Harry's an asshole." Alexis finished.
"I'll take Dean!" Ginny yelled as she grabbed Dean and began to dance with him while Alexis grabbed another boy and soon everyone was laughing and dancing. Harry and Ron stayed in the corners scowling all the while.
"Why can't she be mine?" Harry whined.
"Why can't she be more innocent?" Ron complained.
"What about Draco?" Alexis asked as she and Ginny caught up with each other.
"It's just dancing! Besides, Dean knows me, we're like brother and sister." Ginny smiled as she and Dean began a bad impression of the tango.
"Oh yeah?" Alexis saw this as a challenge so she and Seamus did an even worse impression of the tango and soon they were all laughing again.
"So, girls, where do you want to go next?" One of the players asked.
Ginny and Alexis exchanged looks. "Having fun, guys." Alexis said as she waved them good-bye. "Gotta go." She smiled as she and Ginny made their way back top their table.
"Lexi!" Ginny yelled over the loud music. "That was so much fun!"
"That's what I'm here for!" Alexis replied as they ordered some butterbeer.
"So what do you want to so next?" Ginny asked once the crowd toned down a bit.
"Go to sleep! I'm tired." Alexis yawned as Ginny looked at her watch.
"Good grief! It's already two thirty!" she screamed with a smile.
"Good for us!" Alexis cheered as they paid the tip and made their way to Hogwarts.
The next morning Ginny and Alexis woke up to screaming and yelling from the Common Room.
"How come you nasty little cheat?" came Valerie's voice angrily. Her voice was hoarse as if she had been crying.
"It was just a dance!" That was Seamus. Ginny and Alexis exchanged looks.
"Just a dance? JUST a DANCE?!"
"Please baby, I.."
"Don't give me any of that baby crap you pig!"
"But I love you!"
"You'd love a meat grinder if it would screw you!"
"Val!"
"Leave me alone, you man whore!"
"But she's like a sister to me!"
"And she's my sister!"
A door slammed and Valerie appeared in the room. "You slut." She hissed as she eyed Alexis. "How could you!?" Her eyes were tearing up.
"How could I what?" Alexis' voice was mild and calm.
"When he got here last night, all he could talk about was how great you looked when you danced." Then Valerie peered over at Ginny. "And you too, Ginny!" She glared back at Alexis. "I am ashamed of you two." She walked out and slammed the door shut.
"Alexis, we have a problem." Ginny turned to her friend, but Alexis was on the brink of tears. "Lexi?"
Alexis swallowed thickly and ran out. Ginny stomped her foot.
"Damn."
"She's practically in love with him." Ginny laughed as she sipped some butterbeer.
"In love? Well, well, well. Sounds a whole lot like you and Draco." Sirius teased as Ginny nudged him playfully in the ribs.
