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.

Chapter 2 – preparation and a disappointment

Sunlight rose over the hills and though it was now day, the half moon remained in the sky. Somewhere in the forest birds sung, their voices joining together in perfect harmony. The scene was so tranquil that if anyone had been there to look at it, they would have felt a rush of peace fill him or her at the faultless nature of it. Ginny and the other girls in her dorm though, were oblivious to it and slept on, occasionally snorting or muttering in their sleep.
Waking with a start, Ginny yawned as she reluctantly opened her eyes, relieved that her curtains were pulled shut to block out the blinding light. Lying there, she thought about the resolution made last night. She was determined to go through with it but not entirely sure how to go about it. Throwing back both her covers and curtains, she slipped on a pair of slippers and quietly slid out of bed, trying not to wake the other girls. She always liked to be the first to use the shower, as it tended to get a little grimy after a number of girls had used it.
Stepping into the bathroom, armed with a towel and toothbrush, she shed her clothes and quickly washed before getting out and wrapping the towel around her. When this was done, she proceeded to attack her teeth, brushing with a passion until they were pearly white, though it wouldn't do much good as she had breakfast in an hour and with all the scrumptious food there, she was sure they would soon be brown. She took a little longer this morning to get ready, perfecting her appearance, but in the end, she was satisfied.
Ginny had decided to make small changes first and if he still didn't notice her by the end of the week, then she would go the full Monty as the muggle saying goes, though she was still unsure as to what exactly the 'full Monty' was. Before that though, she decided that she would ask Lavender and Parvati for help as they seemed to know all about this kind of thing unlike her, though she thought she had done a pretty good job this morning.
Starting off, she had loped a few inches off the hem of her school skirt, leaving her robes open. Then she had applied make-up – a very rare thing for her, though only a bit of mascara and eyeliner. Perfume was included in the regime; the bottle advertising that it would make any guy drool. Ginny didn't want any guy though; she wanted one, one by the name of Harry Potter.
Proclaiming herself to be ready, she made her way down the stairs and out the portrait hole, amongst the other girl's thanks to God that she was finally out and accompanied by Parvati. Making their way down to the Great Hall, she noted the admiring glances she received from some of the Ravenclaw boys also making their way down. Smiling slightly to herself, her hopes rose – If they noticed her, why shouldn't Harry? Resisting the urge to skip, she made her way to the Gryffindor table and slid into her usual spot next to Parvati.
"You look different today Gin," she stated. "But I can't put my finger on what's so different".
At this Ginny blinked her eyes rapidly and Parvati finally getting it after a few minutes exclaimed. "Oh! You're wearing make-up!"
"Took you a while," replied Ginny rolling her somewhat tired eyes and ending the conversation, if it could be called that.
Looking around she noticed that neither Harry, Ron or Hermione had yet to arrive and so Ginny piled toast onto her plate, preparing herself for the probably long wait, as it was still really early. So early in fact, that half the teachers weren't present yet and the only students here were she and Parvati, the Ravenclaw boys, Hannah Abbott, Ernie Macmillan and a lone Slytherin – Draco Malfoy. Remembering the intense stare of his eyes last night, she hurriedly looked away, lest he felt her stare and glanced up.

Nearly an hour late, Ginny was finished eating and the Golden Trio had yet to arrive. Children and adults had by now all filed into the Great Hall and everywhere one looked; one would see hormonal girls discussing guys, make- up and other things of the same sort. Either that or hormonal guys gawking at the girls, including, and here Ginny was pleased to note, herself. The ceaseless chatter of cheerful students was enough to drive anyone insane.
Sighing melodramatically and realising that they weren't going to show up, she rose from her seat and exited the Great Hall, her spirits dropping. Pulling herself together and standing up straighter, she reasoned that she would see Harry at lunch, he always made an effort to be there, if only for 5 minutes.
Unbeknownst to her, a pair of silver-grey orbs watched her dramatic exit, quietly noting the change in her and pondering the reasons which could have brought it about.

OK, so maybe that wasn't much longer, but you should see how short my friend's chapters are – 161 words!! Cath – WRITE LONGER CHAPTERS!
Next chapter – an encounter with Harry. Will he notice her??? Huh huh – will he????
See that little button. It's a friend, but is very sad at the moment and lonely. Go cheer the poor little button up. Go on – click it!
