NOW ON WITH THE STORY
***
Draco wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out of the prefect's bathroom. (You know prefects have their own bathrooms and rooms right? If they don't sorry for the mistake!) He was just about to go into his room when he heard the water running. "Well that's funny," he muttered as he walked back to the prefects' bathroom.
Draco stopped in front of the door. He heard singing. A girl's voice at that. Draco crept in slowly, not wanting to be seen. He gasped. He'd know that head of red hair anywhere! WEASELY!
"What are YOU doing here?" he said loudly. Ginny gave out a small gasp and turned around. "MALFOY?" she shrieked. "GET OUT OF HERE!"
Draco smirked. "Excuse me, but why should I?" he challenged. Ginny turned beet red. "Because I'll tell Dumbledore that you were peeking!" she said nervously. Draco loved the fear she was feeling. He fed on fear.
"Oh? And what would he say if I told him you snuck into the prefects' bathroom? Which is a greater offense?" Draco pretended to think.
Ginny gasped. "You wouldn't!" she shrieked. Draco grinned evilly. "Oh wouldn't I?" Ginny's eyes widened. "What were you doing here anyway?" he questioned, taking a step toward her.
"I---I wanted to take a bath, obviously," she mumbled. Draco cocked his head. "What's wrong with your bathroom?"
"Nothing's wrong with it."
"SO why did you come here?"
"I---Hermione was taking too long!"
"That's a stupid excuse."
"I know." Ginny said, in defeat. Draco smirked. "What if I saw you---"
"Fortunately," Ginny interrupted. "I was decent. As for you . . ." She gave Draco an evil little grin. Draco's ears turned pink. "I---I have a towel!" he defended. Ginny grinned and put her hands on her hips. "Anyway, I'd better go before . . . before you come undone. I'll see you later --- not." Ginny gave a little devilish giggle and left the room leaving a very embarrassed slytherin behind her.
***
"So honey, when do you want to do this?" Laurielle asked sweetly. Zack was playing with her hair. "How about for the Christmas Holidays? It's just one week before Christmas. We can lock them up in the astronomy tower."
"No, that place is so overused. What about---I don't know." Laurielle sighed. Zack thought hard. "What if we conjure up a magic proof cell?"
"The how are we going to open it after, silly?"
"A key, duh!"
"And what if you lose the key?"
"Then . . . then we lose the key. Like we care." Laurielle giggled. "You're right Zack."
Zack laughed. "This is SO gonna be worth it!"
***
***
"Lor, you got them?" Zack asked urgently. Laurielle nodded. She handed Zack an envelope. "Let me read it," he said.
Dear Mom and dad,
I can't come home for Christmas. I'm buried in schoolwork this year and it's so frustrating. I hope you understand. I love you.
Ginny
***
"It's a fairly good letter. Here, read mine." Zack handed her his envelope. Laurielle rolled her eyes. This letter was SO Zack.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Hi. I'm Draco, not Zack. You know, you're first born? Anyway, I can't come home for the holidays because of all the babes that are swooning over me. Don't worry, I can handle them and Zack will come home for Christmas anyway. Don't worry about me. Don't forget to give Zack lots of presents because he's so handsome and so hot and so debonair, and so sexy and so cool. I, Draco Malfoy, worship Zachary Malfoy because he is THE coolest brother in the world who deserves all your money. Well, there.
Draco (Not Zack) Malfoy.
***
"As if," Laurielle said, shoving the letter back to Zack. "What? It wasn't good enough?" Zack asked, pretending to be hurt. Laurielle rolled her eyes. "They'll know its you." She said.
"Not a chance! Draco says that about me ALL the time!" Zack insisted. "Yeah, in your dreams." Laurielle mumbled.
"Okay, so how do we get them to stay at Hogwarts?" Laurielle asked. Zack shrugged. "I dunno about Ginny but Draco HARDLY goes home for Christmas. Why don't you fake a letter from her parents saying that she can't come home this year?" Zack suggested.
"Okay, help me write the letter," Laurielle said. They entered the library and sat down. Laurielle took out a quill and a piece of parchment.
She started off with 'Dear'
***
Dear Ginny,
You cannot come home for Christmas because
Laurielle set her quill down. "Because of what?"
"Because her dad has the chicken pox!" Zack offered. Laurielle gave him a look but wrote it down anyhow.
---Because your dad has the Chicken Pox. As you know, this is contagious. Another reason for you not to come home is
Laurielle paused again. Zack sighed irritably. "Just say because one of her brothers has a bad case of tongue infection."
"Zack that's so gross!"
"Exactly!"
"Fine, fine!"
----Is because one of your brothers has a bad case of tongue infection. I hope you understand.
Love,
Your mother Molly

"Oh, how sad." Ginny said, after reading the fake letter. Laurielle sighed innocently. "I know, Gin. But hey, Draco's gonna be here the whole Christmas break! Won't that be fun?"
Ginny glared at her. "No it will not, Laurielle."
Laurielle pouted. "Oh well, I'll be here if it's any consolation." Ginny's face brightened. "It's a GREAT consolation! We can have cousin time together!"
"Ooh, sorry, Gin. I'd love to but I'm here because I have to undergo special classes with Mcgonagall so I probably won't see you the whole time. But hey, Draco will keep you company! Wouldn't you like that?"
"Oh great." Ginny grumbled.
***
Ginny woke up on a chilly Monday morning. This was going to be a rotten Christmas. No one was in school other than Ginny, Laurielle, Malfoy and the professors. Ginny sighed as she slipped into her robes and went down to the great hall for breakfast.
The house elves brought her a glass of warm milk and some oatmeal. Ginny was peacefully eating her breakfast when she felt a presence.
"Well I'll be tickled pink." She turned around to face none other than Draco Malfoy. "Weasely is here! Oh joy!" he said sarcastically. Ginny snorted, then burst into fits of uncontrollable laughter. "TICKLED PINK?"
Malfoy scowled. "Shut UP, Weasel!" Ginny wouldn't stop laughing. Annoyed, Draco grabbed her and covered her mouth with his. That sure did it. When he let go, Ginny screamed and slapped him.
"OH MY GOSH, GET AWAY FROM ME!"
"What the heck was THAT for?" Draco demanded hotly, rubbing the spot where she has hit him. "YOU KISSED ME!" she accused. "You say that as if it's a bad thing." Draco grumbled. Ginny crossed her arms over her chest. "That's because it is!"
Draco rolled his eyes. "You LOVED it." He stated. Ginny gasped. "OF COURSE NOT!" she snapped. "Oh yeah right!" Draco said, a slight smirk on his face. "EWWWWW!" Ginny said, making gagging noises.
Draco was getting irritated with all the gagging she was doing. "Stop that!" he said firmly. This caused Ginny to gag even louder. "STOP IT!" Draco yelled. "Make me!" Ginny said, sticking her tongue out at him. "ARGH!" Draco lunged at her, but missed. Ginny ran around the Great hall with Draco close behind her.
Laurielle sleepily walked in and yawned. "WHAT THE!" She gasped. Draco was chasing Ginny! They were acting like five year olds playing a game of tag!
"COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!" Draco thundered.
"IN CASE YOU'RE BLIND, I AM NOT A MAN!" Ginny retorted, picking up speed.
"YOU LOOK LIKE ONE!"
"AT LEAST I DON'T LOOK LIKE A GIRL!" Ginny stopped. "Oh wait---I AM a girl." She and Draco stopped running and burst into laughter. Laurielle grinned and closed the doors. She wasn't hungry anyway.
