Ok, here it is the second chapter, it's not very long either but I'm getting there. There will be some that are long, and undoubtably some that are short. Though I don't think they'll get as short as the first one. heh. anyway.

Ginny dashed down the corridor, clutching her books to her chest. Today was not going well. She'd just been in Hagrid's class, and once again the Slytherin's had not done as they were told. Hagrid had given them a lesson on tri-corns, even managed to fnd one in the forest. It was a beautiful creature. Tall,it's shoulders were nearly above Ginny's head, and she was not asmall girl. It wasn'tquite the same color as the unicorn. It's fur was white, except when the windwas blowing or it was moving. Thenit's coat seemed to shift through the entire rainbow, almost like oil on water.The three horns were in a straight line down it'sforehead.The Slytherin's, however, did not appreciate the fact that this creature was one of the rarest, and most beautifulcreatures in the wizardingworld. So, naturally they commenced the usual break up of class. They tormented the poor creature, throwing sticks and pebbles at it, and shouting at it. Finally, the poor thing jumped the fence and ran away onto the Hogwarts grounds. And, of course, Hagrid had asked her to help find it. Well, to be fair he had askedsome of theother Gryffindors to help, but they of course had ready excuses ... she'd never been to lie to an adult she respected, sort of.He had, at least, given her bonus point for finding the thing and coaxing it back in the corral.Still, she was nowfifteen minutes late for her next class, which just happened to be potions. She was surely going to get a detention for this, and most likely lose all the points she'd just earned. As she hurtled around the next corner she smashed into someone rather large and heavy. They both toppled to the ground. Ginny winced, and cracked open an eye. Blonde hair, who had blonde... 'Oh, gods,' she thought 'Please not him' she opened the other eye. 'Yup,' piped up a little voice in her mind 'definitely the worst day of your life, late for potions, and now you knock over Draco Malfoy of all people, why couldn't you have picked Harry?'

She moaned, a voice said, "Are you going to get up? Or do you enjoy laying on my chest?"

Her head jerked up she shoved herself off making sure to jab her elbow right into the center of his stomach. To her satisfaction there was a grunt of pain. She also noticed the contraction of the muscles, hard muscle. NO, no she didn't. Well, she tried not to anyway. Slowly she began gathering her books realizing that now it really didn't matter how late she was, she'd be getting a detention and a good sum of points taken from Gryfindor. A book was stuck under her nose, and she looked at the hand, hoping it wasn't who she thought it was again. Unfortunately for her, it was.

She grabbed it from him scowling, "Trying to put another mind snaring journal in one of my books, Malfoy? Or do you just like touching my stuff?" she growled, Draco turned red, well pinkish at least.

He really ought to learn to show some emotion,it's make him look human at least,the voice in her head commented, oh shut up, she told it.

"You know I had nothing to do with that." He replied sourly.

She snorted, "Yeah, but ya sure seemed to enjoy the whole thing, especially when Hermione was petrified."

She stood up and tried to look him in the eye, which was easy because she was only about a half an inch shorter than he was. Thank god for the Weasly height, she thought, glaring directly at him.

Hetook a step backunder the heavy gaze, and managed to mumble out, "Yeah, well, she turned out fine didn't she?" and suddenly his confidence was back, "Anyway what do you expect. I am a Slytherin you know."

Ginny grunted, muttering under her breath, "Yeah, I know, I know thatall too well."

For a split second she thought Draco might have heard her, because his lips turned down for a split second, then it was gone.

"Good bye, Malfoy, I have to get to class."

With that she walked off, chin jutting out angrily. By the time she reached the potions dungeon, the class was well over half way through. She slipped in the door hoping Snape wouldn't notice her absence. That wasn't a very good idea though because the second she was through the door, the potions professor looked up from his desk.

"Well, well nice of you to join us Ms. Weasly, and what pray tell is your explanation for being half a class late?" She started towardherdesk "Did I say you were allowed to sit Ms. Weasly?" he asked coldly.

She jerked up from the desk, saying shakily "No sir, you didn't, and I'm late because," she had been about to say 'because I ran into Draco Malfoy in the halls', but that would imply she had been running, another detention, and the mention of harm to Professor Snape's favorite student, another detention. As it was she probably already been given at least two.

She gulped, "Because I had to help Hagrid re-capture a tri-corn, sir," she added quickly.

Snape smirked, "I'm sure, and since you seem a bit unsure you will be receiving three detentions, two for being extremely tardy to my class, and the third for lying, and twenty points from Gryfindor. Now sitdown and catch up with the class, you have ten minutes to create a Healing potion."

Ginny slumped to her chair, this was turning out to be the absolute worst day of her life.
