Hello everybody! I'm very ,very, very ,very sorry for not updating sooner.
Well, as many might have noticed, I didn't have a disclaimer. Well, here it
is....
Disclaimer: I own nothing. I wish I did own some of the non-Harry Potter characters , but anyway.... Enjoy the story, and don't forget to review! ( (
Ginny had no clue as to where she was going, but she walked. She walked out the door and just kept on walking. She had no idea where she'd end up or how to get back, but she figured she'd find out eventually. After about 10 minutes of walking, she came upon a pub. She wasn't 18, but she figured that she could have a non-alcoholic drink.
The pub was old fashioned and was called the "Cauldron and Broomstick". She guessed that she chose it because the name reminded her of home. She walked in and took a seat at the bar. She ordered a coke and looked around. There was a guy that sat two seats away that looked familiar. =Dear god! Can I never get any peace?! = " Blaise, what are you doing here?" " I think I should be asking you the same question." He moved down until he sat next to Ginny. "So, what are you doing here?" he inquired. Ginny remembered what Draco had told her. " It's none of your business what I'm doing here. And besides, I don't want to talk to you." She got her coke and moved down a seat, to put some distance between her and Blaise. " Why don't you want to talk to me? What have I done this time? Was I too condescending? Or maybe to rude?...." "You know perfectly well what you've done, or should I say what you're doing, and so do I. " With that, she turned around and looked out the window. = What the hell is she talking about? What I' m doing?.... That stupid Malfoy is trying to one up me! He probably told her that he has no part in our wager, and he's getting on her good side. Well, two can play at this game! = There was a silence between the two of them. Ginny finished her coke and ordered a tart to go with her second coke. Blaise was trying to think of how he could get on her good side without doing what Malfoy did. He thought, and thought, and finally he came up with something.= She isn't going to be able to see any of her friends. So, what if I admit what I did was wrong, go tell Joel in front of her that I am out of the bet (he would know in advance that I'm not really quitting) and then i'd befriend her. Of course! That's it! = He casually moved up to the seat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. Ginny looked up from her soda and scowled at Blaise. She shrugged his arm off. "What do you not understand about 'I know about the bet'?" " My dear girl," Blaise started " I understood every word. However, seeing you just sitting here being miserable, I can see that you don't like being the subject of someone else's amusement. So , you know what, just for you , I'll quit out of the bet. Ginny glared at him suspiciously. " Are you sure?" " Positive. And just to let you in on a little secret.... Draco's lying." "Well, I sort of figured that. But how do I know that you're not lying?" Blaise had to think for a second. He had to have her trust in him. " As you know, my family is of the oldest pure blood along with Malfoy. My word is as good as gold. As an old family, we respect honor. So, I give you my honorable word that I'm not lying." Ginny looked at him skeptically for a moment and finally said " all right, I have your word" She turned around and leaned her elbows with her back to the bar and looked thoughtfully out the window. Blaise looked at his watch, and turned to Ginny. " Well, I must be off," He grabbed her hand and kissed it," until we meet again I suppose." He started to put on his coat. " Where are you going?" asked Ginny. " I'm just going downtown to explore. The downtown train comes in 10 minutes." "Do you mind if I tag along?" Ginny asked "I have nothing to do other than go back to the house." She looked at him with big puppy eyes. Blaise looked at her = I should probably take her. This will score some points for sure! = "I don't see why not." "Excellent!" Ginny grabbed her coat and walked with Blaise to the door. He held it open for her, and bowed as she came through. This made her giggle, which Blaise thought was very good.
Their first stop downtown was at the mall. They went into all the shops and stores and looked at everything. By the time they made it to the end of the first floor, Ginny was already in a much better mood than that morning. On the second floor, Blaise found a joke shop. He showed her just about every prank he could find. When they left the store, Ginny's face was red from laughing. She stopped laughing just as they passed a photo booth. She pulled Blaise in put in a dollar. Looking at the pictures made her laugh even harder than before. She was laughing so hard that she had to hold on to Blaise for support.
They left the mall and headed back to the subway station at about four o'clock. "Can you believe that we just spent 4 hours walking around a shopping mall?" Blaise asked Ginny. " Actually ya, I can." She replied. They walked in silence for a few minutes. Ginny looked over at Blaise = He's not so bad. You shouldn't have judged him so harshly. Even if he is lying, I think I'll enter their little wager. But I'll have to play around. Blaise for a few days, Draco next, then I may have to forgive Brent, and I think I'll save Joel for last. Hehehe, let's see what they think of that! = She then slid her hand in to Blaise's and leaned against his arm. She sighed satisfyingly. Blaise looked down at her through the corner of his eye. = My plan is working perfectly! Draco 1, Blaise 1.=
