Disclaimer: I own everything. Right. As if. Actually only the plot.
A/N: It's me again. Yes! Me! Anyways, nothing much to say, just that well, read on! And review. It's important to me. Important to every author! It gives us inspiration, happy moments, and a spark of warmth when we know that people like our stories! And of course, to know that there are people who don't… but anyways, read on!

Chapter 3*~*~*~
Draco stared nervously around the hall, as he lingered desperately around the enormous doorway. His brilliant, spiffy idea wasn't going to work if he hadn't someone to work it on! Damn it. It had been easier planning what to do. Unknowingly he scowled, a shadow of doubt passing his face for just one moment, before he brightened up, spying his perfect victim. No, not "victim". More like "lucky girl".
A decidedly cunning grin crept its way undiscovered across his pale handsome face, making him look truly like a ferret. Oh he was beyond doubt the most suave man ever. Not to mention smart. (And ferret-like, others might add.)
Draco was on the pro-ow-owl!
*~*
Ginny stared dismally down at her homework. She was stuck on one problem, that wouldn't solve itself. It didn't help that she didn't know the solution to it. It also didn't help that she was doodling all over her as yet solution-less Transfiguration homework.
Colin looked over at Ginny's work, shook his head, tsk-ing to himself. Ginny's head, as if on cue, whipped over, and she snapped irritably, "Oh sod off Colin. You're not helping."
Colin chortled, before returning to his own homework, which wasn't as hopeless.
Actually, Ginny wasn't worried about her Transfiguration homework. Sure, it was solution-less, but she could always wheedle answers out of Hermione. It was easy to do that, and especially helpful to have personally witnessed a permanently scarring incident of a snogging session between Hermione and Ron. It had left a eternal blemish on her psychologically and emotionally – she would never look at Ron's hands in the same way again. She was pretty sure that Harry would never let them live it down, and neither would she, for that matter. Ah, the benefits of threatening Hermione. Besides, it was interesting to see her face go all ga-ga and gooey whenever Ron's name and the word "snogging" came up in the same sentence.
She was pondering her current situation, rather than her homework's situation. McGonagall could jolly well wait for her essay. She had more important problems to attend to. After all, a good essay was 10% inspiration, 15% perspiration and 75% desperation. The desperation had not set in yet. Thankfully, she might add, for she might be unable to attend to her most urgent problem.
Now, all you readers must be wondering, what exactly is this problem? You see, Ginny, being the smart girl that she was, had figured out that apparently, she wasn't too good at the whole "being bad" thing. So, she aptly decided, she needed a teacher. A bad, naughty, mischievous, wicked teacher.
However the only tiny little problem was – she hadn't found a perfect candidate yet.
Ginny mused over the problem thoughtfully, her face taking on a faraway expression, as she twirled her quill – a habit she had. Now, who did she know that was bad, naughty, mischievous and wicked enough? Hmmm. Tough question.
Harry was definitely out, as she shuddered at the thought of asking him. He might get the wrong idea, she considered, which she most definitely didn't want him to have. Ron? She blanched visibly. Ron would blow up. And most probably taking her well-thought and planned out (at least it would be well-thought and planned out by that time) plan with his temper.
She slowly ran down her list of available "teachers", mentally crossing them out. Colin was definitely out – she just could not imagine going to Colin to ask for advice on guys. Blargh. He was her best friend, for Merlin's sakes.
Dean? Nah. It was well-known fact, that he well, preferred the grass on the other side. In other words, his gate was a tad crooked, and swung the other way. Put frankly, everyone (at least everyone in Gryffindor) knew that Dean was gay. Therefore, it was only logical to conclude that Dean would know naught about wooing a guy. Then again, maybe not since he was well… Oh heck. As this train of thought seemed to be going nowhere but off rail, Ginny decided to abandon it.
There was always Neville… Hmm. Perhaps… Nope. Nada. Nothing doing. He probably didn't even know what foreplay was. Poor guy. He definitely needed to get out more often. Not that she was suggesting anything. She never wanted to be alone with him, especially not after the disastrous Yule Ball episode in her third year. The poor guy had mutilated her feet, and then outside in the garden, when he had tried to kiss her, had missed, and landed a sloppy kiss on her chin instead. She had wondered if she had ended up kissing Trevor instead.
Finally, only Seamus was left. She remembered the time she had tried to be "bad" around him, and the disastrous results, trying desperately not to blush. There was no way she was going to him.
This final thought, decisively rendered her list a total blank. Ginny thought in despair, I am such a failure.
*~*
Colin peeked out from the corner of his eye, watching Ginny surreptitiously. It was rather entertaining to watch her face turn all sorts of colour. And not to mention that extremely wide range of expressions. It was extremely fascinating. Now it was confusion, no wait… it was glee, and it was changing to doubt, and perhaps a little anxiety? Ah, there was no question that this was better than television.
And now her face was turning red. Colin tried his darnedest not to chuckle, resulting in a somewhat weird sounding cough-snort. Ginny looked strangely at him, before rolling her eyes. Expressively. She retorted irritably, "Does the noise in my head bother you?"
Colin shook his head and stared hard at his paper, shoulders shaking with laughter. Ginny shrugged, and turned back to contemplating her problem.
*~*
Meanwhile, Draco had spotted a girl. No, not a girl. THE girl. She would be perfect! If he could charm the knickers off her (literally and figuratively speaking), he would be a hit. He would be THE Hogwarts Casanova. Awesome.
I mean, if the big bad dreaded Malfoy, bane of the Weasley clan, could seduce the one and only Virginia Weasley, he would be able to charm any other girl, just like that. It would be as easy as drinking milk. But now, he just had to figure out how to captivate her.
Perhaps he needed some practice first. Definitely not Parkinson. He didn't even have to say a word, to get into her pants. Not that he had ever gotten into them, and he sure as heck never planned to. Yuck. She probably didn't wash them everyday. He was a hygienic person you see, and personal hygiene was high on his list. And Pansy? Clean?
Bollocks.
Maybe Virginia's friend would do. What was her name? Oh yeah. Luna Lovegood.
*~*
Luna Lovegood stared dreamily out into space, her chin propped in her hand. If one were to pass by, they would have vaguely heard her mumbling somewhat coherently, "Crumpled Horned Snorkack… No… Crushed Hung Snout…" It was kind of freaky really. But then again, it was Luna, and no one really bothered.
Draco approached cautiously, he had heard about this… person. Supposedly, she was a bit on the unbalanced side, as opposed to sane and rational. Yes, constant vigilance was the key to handling this particular specimen of the female gender.
He slithered up behind her, and tapped her brusquely on the shoulder.
Luna "Loony" Lovegood didn't respond at all.

Adie Yeah, I know my chapters are really short. I myself am not a huge fan of short chapters, but unfortunately I'm really busy this year (I have O levels this year), and I have totally dug myself an early grave by starting this fic now. So I'm writing shorter chapters, in the hope that I will be able to update sooner. Sorry! :D But I'll update sooner I'll promise!
I love you guys! :)
