Whatever it takes
By: Parody-of-an-Angel
Summary – When all Ginny's efforts to get Harry Potter's attention fail, she undergoes a complete makeover and unknowingly falls for the resident bad boy – Draco Malfoy
Pairings – D/G duh! And maybe a few others, not sure yet
Disclaimer – I do not own Draco, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Crabbe, Goyle, Harry, Snape, Minerva, Hagrid, Fang etc.
I love Draco/Ginny fics, so I decided to write one myself. No flames please, constructive criticism welcome though. I'm just going by ear here so bear with me if it's a bit disorganized and haphazard set in Ginny's 6th year and Malfoy's 7th

Ginny sighed as gazed out of the train compartment window at the endless stretch of brown and green earth rolling by. She and "the dream team" were the only occupants of the train compartment and as usual they were ignoring her, talking amongst themselves as she sat in the corner, unnoticed. Of course, she was used to being ignored by people, she was just Ginny Weasley, the quiet one in the corner. Even her own family ignored her when she was home for the holidays.
Just then Malfoy and his two goons entered the compartment. Over the years, Malfoy had changed a lot. He was no longer a scrawny kid but a well built teen. Quidditch practice had obviously paid off and he no longer slicked back his platinum blonde hair, instead going for the dirty, messed up look. Crabbe and Goyle had grown even more and looked, if possible, dumber than before.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Mudblood, Scarhead and Weasel," Draco sneered. "And what's this? It's the little weaslette too". Ginny blushed at this remark and he smirked at her.
"Don't act so surprised to see us Malfoy," Harry said. "You come looking for us every year".
Daco feigned surprise. "Clever Potty, It's just that you're so easy to provoke".
Ron let out a low growl. "Get out Malfoy or I'll make sure you never walk again," Ron said, cracking his knuckles. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Is that a threat Weasley?" replied Draco calmly. "I'm soooooo scared," he added sarcastically.
Before Ginny knew what was happening, Harry and Hermione were holding back a livid Ron, who was struggling to free himself.
"One day Malfoy, one day..." shouted Ron, his face red.
"Ron don't, you'll get us all in trouble," Hermione pleaded desperately.
"See what I mean," drawled Draco. "You're so easy to provoke, especially Weasley here". And with that he left the compartment.
Ginny sighed and resumed staring blankly out the window, it was going to be a long year.

Sitting down at the Gryffindor table, Ginny watched the row of first years filing into the halls looking pitiful and bedraggled. Soon the sorting was over and Ginny was now listening to Ron and Hermione.
"Close your mouth when your eating Ron," said Hermione. "It's disgusting!"
"Orry miugh," replied Ron with a mouthful. Hermione stared at him blankly.
"What he meant to say was 'Sorry Moine'," Harry translated. Ron nodded, as he spooned another spoonful of mashed potato into his mouth.
"So Harry, how were your holidays?" asked Ginny, in a futile attempt to get him to notice her. She had been trying for years now, but had never succeeded.
"Oh, you know, normal, dull etc.," replied Harry before turning back to the others. Ginny sighed, a thing she had been doing a lot of lately.
After a few more minutes of picking at her food and feeling sorry for herself, Ginny noticed Dumbledore getting to his feet. He called for silence and instantly everyone stopped talking.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. The first years should note that the forbidden forest is of course forbidden and some older students would do well to remember that also, "he said, looking pointedly at Harry, Ron and Hermione. "Also Mr. Filch has added another 147 items to the list of contraband items and if you would kindly follow your house prefects, they will lead you to your dorms."
Both Hermione and Ron had become prefects. Draco had also become a prefect, though nobody knew how that had happened. Ginny had an idea that his father had had a say in it though. Hermione and Ron rose from their seats and started to lead them to the Gryffindor common room.
As they were exiting, Ginny glanced back for some reason and her eyes locked with none other than Draco Malfoy's. She found herself unable to draw her gaze away from his silver-grey orbs. It was like a battle of wills as to who would look down first. Eventually, Ginny was the one to break away, his penetrating stare becoming too intense, as with a smirk he looked away, satisfied with his small victory over her.

Soon Ginny found herself in front of the fat lady.
"Password?"
"Locomota," said Ron and the fat lady's portrait swung aside to let them in.
Ginny breathed the homely scent in deeply; everything was as she remembered it from last year. A fire was blazing merrily n the furnace and all the same armchairs were there. Tables were strategically set up everywhere for homework and cards.
"The girl's rooms are up the stairs and to your right and the boys are to the left", said Hermione interrupting her study of the room. "You will find your trunks already brought up and at the end of your beds".
Ginny trudged up the stairs with the other girls. Finding her bed, she began to unpack her things into her wardrobe methodically. When she was done, she changed into pajamas and snuggled up in bed. The sheets were warm and comforting to her drowsy frame; Ginny supposed that this was the work of the house elves. Luckily, Hermione had given up S.P.E.W this year. Sleep didn't come easily to her despite her sleepy state, so she lay thinking. She thought of many things, but mostly of Harry and her futile attempts to catch his eye. Unfortunately, it seemed that he would only ever see as his best friend's little sister. Mentally pulling herself together Ginny vowed that whatever it took, this year she was going to get him to notice her. With that promise to herself still ringing clear in her mind, she fell into a deep slumber, undisturbed now that she had decided what to do.

Cringes that has to be the shortest chapter I have ever written, but it was only a prologue. I am so sorry. Next chapters will be much longer – I promise!
