Chapter 5 ---- Beware of the cell

Disclaimer: You know the drill . . .

***

Draco and Ginny exited the three broomsticks, Draco with a smug look on his face. "So," Ginny said, trying to cook up a conversation. "How was the men's bathroom? Was it nice?"

Draco gave her a look. "What?" She defended. "I've never been in it so how would I know?!"

"You are SO weird." Draco said, shaking is head. "I'm weird? Hey, I'm not the one who freaked out just because of a toothpick." Ginny pointed out, holding back a giggle. Draco scowled. "It was USED."

"So? My teeth are clean." Ginny said, a hint of amusement in her voice. "YOUR teeth are clean because you USED the toothpick to CLEAN your teeth which makes YOUR teeth clean but the toothpick DIRTY!" Draco said hotly.

"Calm down, Draco. Hey! Look! A couple of kids are having a snowball fight! Let's join them!" Ginny began to walk up to the kids when Draco pulled her back. "No way! I'll get all dirty again!" Draco shook his head. Ginny snorted. "Enough of this, Draco! I'm playing and so are YOU!"

***

"Hey. Can we play?" Ginny asked a tall, lanky boy with brown hair and purple-ish eyes. He turned around and gave her a warm smile. "Why not? What's your name?" he asked. "Ginny. This is my friend Draco."

"Hey, I'm pleased to meet you. My name's Francis but you can call me France." France brushed a lock of gorgeous brown hair off of his face. "OI! THIS IS GINNY AND DRACO! MIND IF THEY JOIN US?" France called out to his friends. A girl, and three boys walked over to them.

"This is Alana, Drew, Chris and Geoff. Guys, this is Ginny and Draco." France introduced. Geoff grinned. "Ginny's on my team. Alana can have Draco." Ginny blushed. Geoff was good-looking but not as striking as France or Draco. [Wait. . .did I think Draco was striking?] Ginny shook her head and smiled at Geoff. "Okay, but I have to warn you guys, I'm pretty good at snowball fights."

***

"GOT HIM!" Ginny cried out. Geoff, Chris and Drew all cheered and lifted Ginny up. "GINNY! GINNY!" They chanted. "Thanks! Come on, guys, put me down!" Ginny giggled. She glanced at Draco who was talking to Alana. The boys set her down and France swiftly swept her off her feet. "That was great! You're. . .the goddess of ALL snowball fights!" France declared.

France set her down. "Looks like your friend has a thing for Alana." Ginny caught sight of Draco flirting with Alana and she was flirting back! Ginny turned red. She marched up there and yanked Draco away from Alana.

Alana frowned. "We were talking." She said coolly. Ginny gave her an evil grin. "Really? I thought there was more than THAT going on."

"What's your deal?" Alana demanded. "Oh no," France groaned. The boys circled Ginny and Alana. "I bet you they're going to have a cat fight." Geoff whispered to Drew.

"Wonder who's going to win?" Drew said. "I've always wanted to see one of those cat fights." Chris said.

"How do girls fight? And why do they call it cat fight?" Chris asked. Drew shrugged. "Maybe claws replace their nails when they get really mad and maybe because they act like cats."

"DO they turn into cats?" Chris pressed. "I don't know. Maybe they wail like cats." Drew theorized. Geoff, France and Draco rolled their eyes. Drew and Chris were SO clueless.

"What's your deal?" Alana repeated, eyes flashing. "Hey, don't need to get all upset!" Ginny retorted, her temper thinning. "You are such a little eavesdropper!" Alana accused. Ginny scowled. "Don't have a cow, you cow! I didn't hear anything!"

Alana was just about to lunge at Ginny. "Okay, Okay, Alana, that's enough!" France pulled her back. "Uh, thanks for letting us join. We have to get going." Draco said, grabbing Ginny's wrist and dragging her down the street.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" Draco demanded. Ginny glared at him. "YOU WERE FLIRTING!!!" she screeched. "So?" Draco smirked. Ginny gasped. "DO NOT SMIRK AT ME!"

"Why not?"

"Just don't!"

"My, my, is the littlest weasel jealous?"

Ginny turned red. "I AM NOT JEALOUS!" she exploded. "Why would I be? You can have anyone you want! Well---except her." She muttered. But was she? Was she jealous that Draco was flirting with another girl? Of course not!

"Oh shut your trap!" Draco just smirked at her.

They arrived at Hog warts moments later, both exhausted. "Well, thanks for an interesting day, Draco." Ginny said genuinely. Draco grinned.

"FINALLY! Where have you two been? On a date?" Laurielle ran up to them. "Hi, Lor. No, not a date. We just went out as friends. So, how was yours?" Ginny asked. Laurielle gave her a sly smile.

"My day was fine. In fact, I built a little something, if you'll just follow me, BOTH of you, I think you'll like it very much." Draco and Ginny trailed Laurielle.

Laurielle stopped in front of an empty classroom. "Now you have to give me your wands. It might get stuck."

"No way!" Draco protested. Ginny elbowed him. "You'd better support her so she won't have low self esteem," Ginny whispered. Draco reluctantly agreed. (AN: not very Draco, eh?)

Laurielle grinned. "Okay, step inside." Ginny, Draco and Laurielle entered the room. Inside was a large bubble like thing. "Hey, you built this?" Draco asked, amazed. "Yeah. Kind of reminds you like one of those cells they keep those mutants in." Laurielle replied. (AN: think of where they kept Magneto in Xmen2)

"Why would you build this?" Ginny asked. Laurielle shrugged. "Why don't you get in? It's really comfy. I can always get you out again." Laurielle suggested. Draco and Ginny agreed, both so amazed that a thirteen-year-old kid could build such a thing.

Once Ginny and Draco were inside, Laurielle closed the door. "Wow," Ginny breathed. "It's very homey."

"Glad you think so." Laurielle beamed, although Draco noticed her smile was a bit creepy. "Um, right. . .okay." Draco said slowly. "What is this for anyway?" Ginny asked. Laurielle giggled. "Well," she said, Ginny and Draco's wands firmly in her hands. "It's for you. Ta-Ta!" Laurielle locked the door.

"LAURIELLE!" Ginny screamed. "Zack would be SO proud of me! And you can't get out because I have your wands! Don't worry, they'll be safe! I have to go and tell my honey. HAVE FUN!" Laurielle sniggered. She began to skip away.

'BE CAREFUL WITH MY DARN WAND! GET US OUT OF HERE!' Draco yelled. Laurielle turned around, an innocent look on her face. "But I don't know how," she said in a little girlish tone.

Draco gritted his teeth. "WEASELY! TELL YOUR COUSIN TO GET US OUT OF HERE!"

Ginny scowled at Laurielle. "This is SO not funny! Get us out, Lor!"

"I can't hear you! Don't worry, I'll be back for you in a couple of days! You won't be hungry because I've charmed the cell to be edible but once you've eaten a part, it'll quickly rebuild itself. HAVE FUN!" and with that, Laurielle was gone.
