Chapter 6: Saturday's Detention
Colin and Jane needed to "study" so Ginny spent her Saturday afternoon alone. She owled her mother, paid professor McGonagall a visit, spoke to Hagrid, and was now walking towards the lake. She took off her shoes and dipped her legs in the water. She was wearing shorts and a tank top so she undid her robe and laid down on it. She started to drift off to sleep when she heard: "Reflecto Atatem!" from behind her. She sat bolt upright to see the squid going underwater tentacles flailing wildly. She turned around to see Draco pocketing his wand.
"Are you following me?" Ginny asked irately.
"Would you rather be seafood??" He retorted.
"Sorry. I'll just stay here until the Giant Squid returns to kidnap me and make me Queen of the Lake, kay?" Ginny said sarcastically. "Thanks a million."
"Where's the Golden Trio?" He asked her.
"How would I know?" She answered staring at the lake.
"I don't see your leash. If they let you stray they mustn't be far." He said smugly.
"I don't get you. One minute you're insulting me, the next you're trying to snog me."
"I'm not trying to- -."
"Let me explain something to you." Ginny started. She picked up her shoes and cloak and headed towards him.
"What?" Draco asked eyeing her warily.
"This." She stopped walking a centimeter away from him and tilted her head to one side. When Draco closed his eyes, she punched him in the stomach with all the force she could muster.
"Stay away from me!" She yelled. "Explanation enough?" Before she could walk away, Draco grabbed her wrist, pulled her back and kissed her. It was soft and innocent, completely different from what she thought Draco represented. Ginny pulled back and searched his eyes, but he kissed her again a little faster this time, leaving a tingling sensation on her lips. When she broke the kiss again, she came to her senses and ran away. She was so deep in thought about the situation. HOW DARE HE! She was almost to the Fat Lady when she crashed into someone and landed on top of them. She let out a sigh of relief. It was only Harry.
"Sorry mate." Ginny giggled.
" 'S okay." He said softly. "I'm fine."
"Good." She blew a stray hair from her face and made eye contact with Harry. She completely forgot about the awkward position they were in.
"Your eyes." Harry whispered. He leaned forward and closed his eyes but Ginny stood up abruptly.
"See you 'round." She said and walked in through the portrait hole.
DETENTION THAT NIGHT.
"Professor Snape? I'm here for my detention." Ginny said timidly.
"Come in." He answered coldly. "You are going to bottle potions and store them in these boxes."
"Okay." Ginny said. Or at least it sounded okay until she saw the number of vials and the size of cauldrons. Damn. She thought. All alone.
"Mr. Malfoy will be in shortly to take inventory." Snape added. And with that, he left. Drat! She had almost forgotten about the lake incident in the morning! What was it with guys and trying to snog her? First Harry, then Malfoy.
"Am I that sexy?" Ginny chuckled.
"Yes." Draco answered. She turned around to see him smirking in the doorway. She rolled her eyes, picked up a ladle and started to bottle the potions.
"Listen Weasley I- -."
"I don't know what you're playing at Malfoy, but stop. What happened today was a total mistake."
"It wasn't on my part." Draco replied. He used a tone Ginny noticed was slightly pleading. She thought sbout whether or not to ignore him or egg him on. She chose the latter. Carrying some vials over to a box she asked:
"How so?"
"Well, I've fancied you for some time now." He answered. His expression was blank but his voice sounded honest.
"Sure you have Malfoy. Aren't you supposed to be counting bottles?"
"It's true! Since the end of last year."
"Malfoy, I don't know what twisted, sicko, sadistic game you're playing, but stop it. Harry warned me- -."
"Potter!" Draco spat in disgust. "What does he have to do with anything!? I thought you stopped fancying him three years ago!"
"Ugh!" Ginny cried in exasperation. "I don't fancy Harry! He just warned me about- -."
"Me? What did he say?"
"That you'd use me to-."
"To what?!"
"Would you let me talk?!" Ginny yelled. "Just, let's just forget about this morning, Harry, everything, and serve the damn detention." Draco walked quickly over to her and kissed her. This time Ginny pulled away fast. His hands cupped her face, but she stepped out of them.
"How easy do you think I am?" Ginny asked wiping her lips.
"I don't think-."
"Then why do you keep kissing me? You can't just snog me and expect me to fall for the 'Malfoy Charm'!"
"Why are all you Weasley's so stupid?" He asked. "Can't you tell when someone likes you?!"
"You don't like me Malfoy you're just bored." Ginny replied dryly.
"Are you implying that I'm some sort of.boy toy or, or male harlet?"
"That's exactly what I'm implying." She stuck her nose in the air and returned to her work. She could feel Draco staring at her but decided to just ignore him.
When she finished her detention, she left the diungeons but didn't head straight for Gryffindor Tower. She walked around the entrance hall debating whether or not to go to her dorm or the eerily inviting lake. She chose the lake. A/N: Okay.trust me on this. GOOD STUFF WILL HAPPEN SOON. Read. Review. Repeat.
