Summary: Ginny's got a secret admirer. Could he be that cute new teacher? Could he be her house team's seeker? Could he be someone whom she knew right from her very first year at Hogwarts? Or could he be one of the most unlikely person to even notice her?

Disclaimer: NOT MINE! Although I wish they were a product of my very own imagination, sad to say I only own the plot & the other characters that might pop up somewhere down the road here.

PhoenixRae's Note: OK, this time I'll try not to take forever to upload a chapter, but we'll see. Sometimes it's the song that gets me stuck. *lol*

XIV. She's On To You

"Aaargh!" Ginny exclaimed and tried pulling the hairs out of her head. She and Abby had been sitting out by the lake watching every male species from all houses frolic about enjoying the last vestiges of autumn before winter sets in.

Abigail looked up from her History of Magic book and frowned at her friend.

"What are you getting ticked-off about now?" she asked.

"This dilemma of mine," Ginny snarled.

Abigail raised an eyebrow. She glanced at the book her friend was reading then back at her friend's face. What the hell kind of dilemma was she talking about? They were just reading about some revolution that happened early in the 1800s for her to have problems with it.

"Uh, Gin? You're just reading about a part in the history of magic," she pointed out matter-of-factly.

"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, Abs," Ginny made a face at her friend and closed her History of Magic book. "You know I wasn't talking about our reading assignment."

"You're not?" Abigail feigned innocence.

"Shut-up, Abs," Ginny set her book on the ground beside her and leaned back against one of the trees.

Abigail frowned and watched her friend carefully. Since finding out that Blaise Zabini wasn't her APC, Ginny had been obsessed to learn the truth behind her romantic Romeo who hides himself behind mushy, sappy love poems.

"Look, why don't you take things easily for now?" Abigail suggested. "You're driving yourself crazy by trying to find out who your APC is to actually concentrate on everything else!"

"But I can't help it, Abs!" whined Ginny. "I need to quench my thirst for the truth about my APC before I could concentrate on anything else!"

"Still wondering about your APC, Weasley?" snarled Draco who walked up behind the two sixth year Gryffindors with his bodyguards behind him. "I thought you already met the mystery man during our last Hogsmeade weekend?"

Ginny and Abigail both turned their heads around and glared up at the uninvited Slytherin.

"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" snapped Ginny.

Draco merely raised a brow at her. His upper lip curled into his trademark smirk before he crouched down behind Ginny. "So, Weaslette, had a good time with your APC that weekend?" he mocked. "How was he, by the way? Was he everything you expected him to be, hm?"

Ginny's eyes turned to tiny slits. How dare he goad her like this? What does he want anyway?

"Go away, Malfoy. I'm studying here."

"Studying?" his eyebrow rose an inch higher. "Last time I checked you were too damn busy thinking about your secret admirer to concentrate on studying."

"You resorting to eavesdropping now, Malfoy?" Abigail snarled. "I can't believe you would even sink that low."

Draco shot him a glare that would've sent any other person running, but Abigail returned his glare with a glare of her own. She wouldn't dare cower away just because he happened to be a Malfoy whose father was a follower of You-Know-Who. Draco Malfoy was just a person and he needed to have some reality knocked into him if he thought he could intimidate people just by glaring at them.

"Stay out of this, Wilson," he warned.

"And what if I don't? What are you gonna do?" she challenged.

Draco's smirk turned to something devilishly sexy, his cool, grey eyes mirroring whatever possible torture he could think of giving her for daring to be bold. Ginny couldn't believe what just entered her mind as her gaze darted back and forth between Draco and her best friend. Sure Malfoy was one of Hogwarts' heartthrobs, but for her to actually see him as sexy?

Oh Merlin have mercy! What am I thinking? she thought to herself as she braced herself for a possible verbal war between Draco and Abigail.

"Nothing you won't be able to resist, love," Draco's voice dropped to an alarmingly husky tone, making shivers run up Ginny's spine for no apparent reason. It wasn't windy out today nor was it really cold, and yet she felt that chill that just zapped her to stillness.

"Oh really?" Abigail was pushing her luck. Ginny couldn't understand why Abigail was adamant to goad Draco into doing something she knew her best friend wouldn't want him to do to her, and yet her she sat, exchanging glares with the notorious Hogwarts playboy and putting on her devil-may-care attitude on full-force.

"Stop it!" Ginny got up to her feet and stood between her best friend and the annoying git who couldn't keep his nose out of her business. "You two are being stupid, you know that?" She looked down at her best friend and gave her a disapproving frown, "Abs, Malfoy's eavesdropping into our conversation because he has no life. I don't know why he doesn't have a life and I sure as hell don't want to know why he doesn't have one. And as for you," she turned her gaze towards Malfoy who remained squatted beside her, his smirk still in place and his eyebrow still raised. "Quit sticking your nose into my business. Go bug my brother and his friends since that's what you seem to like doing. Just bug me when I'm around them. Other than that, leave-me-alone!" she nearly yelled at him.

Ginny didn't wait for either Abigail or Draco to say something. She flicked her wand and in an instant her book closed and slid into her bag. She floated her bag towards her and after adjusting the strap on her shoulders she marched off towards the castle, leaving Abigail gaping at her for abandoning her like that.

Draco, on the other hand, couldn't help but gave the departing redhead an appreciative smile. She really got spunk. And who knew Ginny Weasley looked so damn sexy when annoyed? He only dreamt about seeing her temper flaring, and actually only saw her lose her temper in public once—when she stopped him and her brother from biting each other's heads off in the hallway. As soon as he walked away, he turned towards the corner and peered at the crowed still gathered around in the hallway. He caught a glimpse of the bickering siblings in the middle of the circle with Ginny ending up telling her brother to grow up.

"If you're admiring Ginny's curves, I suggest you better hide it, Ferret Boy. Once her brother sees you, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be around for that," came Abigail's fair warning closer to his ear. She already gathered her things and was now standing beside him.

Draco scowled at the sixth year and pulled himself up to his full height, towering over the mouthy Gryffindor.

"And what makes you think I'm admiring that weasel's curves, hm?" he demanded.

Abigail raised an eyebrow and clucked her tongue. Her lips slowly pulled into a mischievous grin and walked off with a slight shrug of her shoulder. After talking a few steps away from Draco and his goons, she stopped and turned to face him, "Zabini said it wasn't him that sent those mushy love letters to Ginny, but he did give her a hint, however, that Ginny's APC is from your house. Now, I might be wrong in assuming this, but other than Zabini, you're the closest thing to becoming my friend's APC. And given the way you just looked at her now…" her voice faltered and she held Draco's eyes, letting him read in them what she didn't dare say out loud. I'll be watching you was what her eyes said, but out loud she called, "Have a great rest of the day, boys!"

Draco's grey eyes turned to a pair of tiny slits as he glared a hole at the back of the departing sixth year's head. She was on to him. Damn, he was he that obvious?

"C'mon, Malfoy, let's get outta here," called Crabbe who was starting to get really antsy just standing there doing nothing.

"Yeah. That Wilson chick is one helluva smart lass, I tell ya," added Goyle, coming up to stand beside the leader of their small group. "She's on to you, mate. I suggest you back off before this whole thing blows off and you will be put in a very uncompromising position," he warned.

"No, I won't be put in a very uncompromising position. Wilson's just bluffing." Draco squared his shoulders and jutted his chin into the air, "Now I believe I need to have a serious talk with Zabini, c'mon," he motioned for his two goons to follow him and soon all four students were walking back to the castle.
