Meg: He has a girl friend? Rubs her hands together evilly she can easily be taken care of...just contact a few people, spend a few dollars, and we got ourselves a hit man! Lol! Ya right, I don't think I would be able to hire a hit man, that is almost as bad as murder. Flinches I don't like the whole murder idea...I mean, who am I to take some ones life? Huh? Well, any ways... HOW COULD SHE WEAR HEELS!!!!???? You can't be taller than Tom Felton...nooooo, every one should be shorter than him, cuz he is supposed to be like, six foot something! Lol!
Pam: Well, I donno...if I let him out of my mind so you can poke him, he may run away and never come back...so I will have to tie hi up and deliver hi9m to you in one of those big wooden boxes, BUT MAKE SURE YOU GIVE HIM BACK!!! Or else all my ideas will be gone and the story will never be finished! Lol.
His hair thing, OMG! I HATE it when ppl say in their stories, 'His hair wasn't pulled up any more, it hung loosely down his face...' IT IS NOT DRACO IF HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS HAIR UP! I mean, that is the whole thing about him that I like, he is British, with bleach blond hair, and he is the bad guy...HOT!
It is fun to think up the little pet names, but I have a question for you! Do you think you could think up a tattoo for Draco? Cuz I am going to make Ginny give him one, I need to know where to put it, and what it should be, just no huge ones that take up his whole back or chest, ok? Lol, yes, Blaise is going to be around awhile, I am not sure what I am going to do with him yet, but he will have an important job somewhere along the line! Thanks for the super long review! Lol, l8er,

An Emerald Ring
Chapter 6: A Kitten with Cat's Eyes
Ginny lay on her stomach in the middle of her bed, she examined the emerald ring closely. There was something about it, something, different. She ran her fingers over the smooth green stone, the gold now warm with her body heat. She grinned at the little green emerald that stared up at her like an eye, and absently strung it on a thin golden chain she had gotten for Christmas the year before. It looked pretty, and mysterious around her neck, the little oval emerald glinting in the dim candlelight. It had to be well past midnight, and as the stone shone brighter, Ginny got sleepier, and was soon swimming through dreams of self-defence lessons with a lion...
&&&&&&&
"Ginny! What the hell did you do to your eyes?!"
"What are you talking about Ron?" Ginny asked groggily, stretching out her arms and yawning.
"Gin...I think you should look in the mirror." Ron said quietly, looking at her as if she had four heads. Ginny's heart jumped, when Ron got that tone of voice, something was wrong. She scrambled back up the stairs, into the girls dormitories, and almost crashed into the mirror on her dresser. She gasped.
Her eyes were no longer a brandy brown, they were a deep green, dark and beautiful, they were carefully out lined, as if with a fine tip marker, in black. But the sudden change in colour was not the part that scared Ginny; the part that scared her was her pupils, they were large at the moment, in the dimly lit room, but the top and bottoms of them came together in pointes, almost as if she had... vertical pupils...
This was very strange, and in made her spine shiver. She touched the skin under one eye gently, and examined the perfect green eyes, the perfect green cat eyes. She had seen that colour green before...the ring. She looked down at her emerald ring; it glinted up at her mockingly.
"What did you do?" She asked the little ring. She sighed and picked up her wand, deciding that she would rather have black eyes than cat one; she muttered a quick spell that Hermione had taught her and watched as her eyes darkened, and became empty. She almost cried, she loved her brandy eyes, why did she have to do this to herself? What did the stupid little ring do to her? She shook her head and swallowed her tears. Crying would do nothing about it, she would go through her day and meet Malfoy for the defence lesson, maybe then stop in the library and see what she could find on evil emerald rings that turn your eyes into green kitty peepers. Some how, she didn't think her research would help her much though.
&&&&&&
Draco sat at the Slytherin table for the first time in a while; he hadn't seen the little scarlet lioness at any of the meals, he had passed her once in the halls, but being that Glacier Williamton was talking to him, he couldn't risk staring, but from the glimpse he did get, she seemed depressed, her shoulders were slumped, her head was down, and her walk was slow, something was wrong. Speaking of Williamton, the little rat head, Draco was going to kill him. He took it upon himself to inform Draco that he and his friends were not living up to the standards of the rulers of Slytherin. Draco gave him a good beating, little idiot, didn't know who he was talking to. His thoughts here pulled away from wanna be rulers, and was focused on Ginny as she walked into the Great hall, flanked by her friends, Zoe, and Luna. Zoe was in Gryffindor with Ginny, and Luna was in Rayvenclaw, but all three of them always sat at the Gryffindor table anyways. Luna was looking dreamily a head of her, white quills dangling from her ears. Zoe was patting Ginny sympathetically on the back, and his Kitten was staring at the floor again. He was watching Ginny silently when he felt other eyes on him, he turned and looked at Luna Lovegood, her pale eyes boring into his, she smiled knowingly at him and then said something to Ginny, who blushed furiously, something he had seen her do only once before. He was interrupted yet again, by Williamton.
"What do you want now, another beating?" Draco asked boredly, looking at his plate of mashed potatoes and roast beef.
"No, I was going to ask if you would like to join us in the tunnels tonight?" Draco knew what he meant by, 'Join the in the Tunnels,' he was one of the Slytherins who liked to take advantage of unsuspecting girls wandering the dungeons, it made him feel bigger than he was. Draco figured that slugging him right there would bring to much unwanted attention to himself, so he settled with,
"There are other, less juvenile matters I must attend to, so...no." Draco said standing up.
"What, are you afraid?"
"Of what? Hurting little girls who can't bring themselves to kill a fly on their wall? If that is what you are saying, then no, I just have better things to do than spend my evening, acting like an idiot, and surrounding myself with them." Already he had said more than he should have, so he stalked out of the hall, snapping his robes menacingly behind him, Williamton knew he wasn't to follow. He heard the Kitten follow him out, and as soon as he was out the doors, there was a screech.
"Draaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiicooooooooo!" Pansy came running down the stairs and shot into his arms, clinging off his right one.
"What is it Pansy," He asked, hiding behind his tired front again, just as he knew Pansy was hiding behind her stupid one.
"Lets go down to your roooooom!" She said, as if she were trying to be seductive.
"Alright Pansy, let's go..." Draco said rubbing his temples, he was getting head aches a lot now. As they turned for the dungeons, Pansy winked at Ginny, who stood quietly in the shadows, then became their silent shadow, following them to the Head Boy's room.
&&&&&&
"Tourniquet," Pansy mumbled, and slipped in, dragging Draco by the hand, Ginny slipped in after them.
The room was dark again, not but one candle was lit, but surprisingly, Ginny had no trouble finding her way around, it was as if she could see in the dark.
"Alright, my work here is done, later you two, I am going to bed." Pansy said, and slipped out a door Ginny had never noticed before.
"Where is Blaise?" Ginny asked, sitting on the bed, watching Draco as he slipped off his robes and leaned against the wall, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Patrolling."
"Patrolling?"
"Yes." Draco left no further explanation. "What's wrong?" He asked, her not looking at her. Not that it mattered; it was too dark for either of them to see. But Ginny could see him almost as well as in daylight, but it was as if she were looking through sunglasses, and a bright beach.
"Nothing." She said a little too quickly. She blinked hard to see if her vision would blur in the darkness like it should.
He turned around and started to walk towards her.
"You're lying." He said confidently. He always knew when someone was lying, but he wasn't as sure as he made himself sound, the Kitten could hide things so well from him without even realising it.
"N-no." Ginny said, looking at the floor, her right hand fiddling with the ring on the necklace, her left hand grabbing the comforters. Draco was right in front of her now.
"Oh, but you are, my little lion cub, you are lying through your teeth..." her cupped her face with his hands and lifted it to look at him. He frowned slightly at the sight of her black eyes.
"What did you do kitten?" he whispered, and if Ginny didn't know any better she would say he was angry. He was getting a head ach again, she was hiding something from him, and her black eyes were proof.
"Take it off." Malfoy said suddenly. Ginny blushed furiously.
"What?"
Malfoy almost smirked as he realised how she had interpreted his statement.
"The charm you've put on your eyes. Take it off."
"No."
"Kitten." He said warningly.
'Stay in your place, kitten,'
"Either you take it off or I will, and you won't like my way very much." Ginny sighed and looked deeper into his fierce silver gaze.
"Alright Malfoy..." She mumbled and muttered the counter charm. Her eye colour swirled around, then melted into the cat eyes she had hidden away.
"Kitten...what?"
"I don't know. I woke up, and they were suddenly green, and..and...vertical...I want my old eyes back!" A tear slid down her cheek, and then a tear fell out of the other eye, until she was full out crying, she kept the whimpering, the moaning, and the sniffing to a minimum. She didn't want to cry in front of Malfoy, but there was no stopping the tears that slid silently down her face. Draco examined her eyes, they looked rather human if you were just talking, or making eye contact, but if you looked close enough, you could tell that the pupils were vertical. They were not at all like Voldermort's, where he had slits for pupils, his Kitten's pupils were large, and roundish, the green colour also put a rather endearing affect to her red hair, which intrigued him even more. It wasn't until he herd her sniff quietly that he noticed se was crying. He suddenly felt awkward. He didn't know what to do with her now that she was crying. He never knew what to do with people when they were crying, except maybe taunt them to make them cry harder. But this wasn't just anybody he could hurt without a care, this was his Kitten.
"Kitten, don't cry," He said, forcing his voice out of the awkward croak it had become. He lifted his finger and swept away a tear with it. The tears suddenly stopped, and Draco felt immensely proud of himself, he had done something right. She smiled up at him, and kissed his hand gently, then she hopped up off the bed, wiped away the remaining tears viciously, and then said cheerily as if nothing had happened,
"So, you gonna teach me to defend myself or what?"
