"Malfoy, what do you want?" Ginny asked. "Can't find anyone else to bother or did you just happen to pick my compartment?"
"Just came to say 'hello'. Is that a crime around here? Or are you always this rude to everyone?" Draco asked cooly.
"Say what you have to say and get out!" It was so hard for Ginny to play this mean person toward him. All she wanted was to walk over there and kiss him. "Well?"
"I wanted to ask for a favor, if you don't mind?" Draco asked rather quickly.
"What kinda favor is it?" she asked sounding interested.
"You wouldn't happen to be going with someone to the next Hogsmeade trip?"
"No, why do you ask."
"It's my favor. Would you go with me? It's hard to explain. When we get to school, I'll send you an owl telling you when and where to meet me so I can explain." And before Ginny could ask anymore questions, he was already out the door.
"Why, why me?" That's all Ginny could think about for the rest of the journey to Hogwarts. "Why not a girl from Slytherin. That would be the logical and smart thing to do. A girl from Gryffindor, it just doesn't make sense." Her thoughts were lost, once again, as the train came to a hault and they were at the Hogsmeade station about to start a new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
