It was mid day and the Gryffindors were just leaving the Great Hall having
finished their lunch. Harry and Ron were no where to be seen
"Must be with McGonalgal" Seamus had said.
Ginny was talking with Hermione until they came to the Stair well, and they
went their separate ways to their individual classes. Hermione had Charms
with Harry and Ron, while Ginny had Transfigurations.
Ginny was on her way down to McGonagals classroom when she heard someone from behind her call her name.
"Ginny....Ginny wait up...."
Ginny turned round to see Luna Lovegood running in her direction, hands full of books.
"Hey Luna. How are you?"
Luna caught up with Ginny and paused at her side to catch her breath, resting a hand on Ginny's shoulder to balance her.
"Hey. I'm ok. You? Did you'see' that display in the Great Hall earlier today?"
"Ha, yeah. Couldn't really miss it."
The two girls began to walk in step together, still chatting merrily- well, Luna was chatting, and Ginny was listening.
"....and that Draco, he's really something-"
"MALFOY! 'Draco' Malfoy. That prick. Don't tell me you actually 'like' him?"
"Well....no not 'like'. I mean, he 'is' a real nasty shit. But have you 'seen' him recently? I mean he has grown into a fine young man. Don't you agree.?" Ginny could have sworn she saw Luna drooling.
"Well.....i 'suppose' he's ok.....but I still hate him-"
"No worries there Baby Weasley, I hate you too. Nice to know where we stand."
Ginny whirled round so quickly she knocked all the books out of Luna's hands and sent them flying all over the floor. She looked up into the 'smirking' face of Draco Malfoy.
"Get lost Malfoy!" Ginny Spat, as she knelt down to retrieve Luna books.
"Last time I checked, it was a free country...so....NO!" Malfoy merely stood while Luna and Ginny scurried round picking up books from the floor. Ginny was about to retrieve a rather heavy Charms book, when Malfoy lifted his leg to rest his foot on it.
"Malfoy MOVE! I need to get to class and you're making me late."
"Ask nicely Weasley skank!" Malfoy's filthy drawl echoed down the now empty corridor.
"Come on Gin..." Luna tried pulling on Ginny's arm. "He's not worth it. And I can get a new book-"
"NO!" Malfoy's last comment had sent sparks off in Ginny's head and she stood up to face Malfoy, her eyes spitting flames. "Listen you unworthy piece of shit. NO-ONE Talks to me like that and gets away with it. 'Do' I make my self clear?"
Malfoy began to laugh. He doubled over and was now shaking with mirth.
"Oh.......ha......." Malfoy wiped a tear out of his eye. "And what exactly are 'you' going to do-"
THWACK
Malfoy fell to the floor clutching his nose. After a few moments, a pool of rich red blood could be seen seeping through Malfoy's fingers and began to trickle down his immaculate robes.
Ginny turned to face Luna, who was staring at Malfoy, and holding her fist poised to attack again should Malfoy chose to retaliate. (You thought it was Ginny didn't you?)
"Luna! What have you done" Ginny assessed the situation. Malfoy sitting on the floor, holding his now 'extremely' swollen nose and Luna holding her fist, which was covered, in a small amount of Malfoy's rose red blood. With out thinking, Ginny grabbed Luna's hand and dragged her in the direction of their class room, only quickly glancing around to see Malfoy, still on the floor, and cowering into a ball, obviously in 'a lot' of pain.
When they reached their class, fortunately McGonalgal hadn't arrived yet, so they took up the their seats at the back of the class and got out all their books.
"God Malfoy is so 'insufferable'!" Ginny growled through gritted teeth as she got out her ink and quill.
"You don't need to tell me that. Forget about what I said before about him. No matter what, it is 'impossible' for 'anyone' to even 'think' of him as 'nice' in any way, shape or form." Luna seethed.
This made Ginny laugh. "Yeah...I know..."
It was the last lesson of that day. Potions, and Ginny was walking down to the dungeons with Luna at her side. They arrived on time- fortunately, as Colin Creevey was a late and had 20 points deducted. - And they set up their potions equipment and began their lesson. Today, they were making a sleeping draught- simple enough, but they had been given instructions to make it so it set the drinker off to sleep for a limited amount of time.
Ginny was working with a Slytherin, - yes Snape had paired them with the Slytherins- named Bethany McGrandals. Bethany was just as sly as all the other Slytherins. Half way through the class, she had poured an over dose of toads bile into Luna's potion, resulting in her loosing house points, being shouted at by her partner who blamed in on her, and had to start the whole potion over again from scratch.
'Bitch', Ginny thought to herself.
Later on it the lesson – Ginny and Bethany had finished their potion, Ginny was clearing away the ingredients by the sinks, when Bethany put a large dose of snakes venom on Ginnys chair, and awaited her return. Ginny came back to their table and took up her seat. After a few moments, she shot up from her chair, screaming at the top of her lungs, as the venom burnt a hole in her skirt and began to burn off all her skin on the upper part of her leg. All the Slytherins were rolling around laughing, while Colin and Luna gathered around Ginny to see what damage had been caused.
"That bitch. How dare she!" Luna was about to run and tackle Bethany to the ground until she screamed for mercy, but was stopped when a hand grabbed her elbow and held her back.
"Not now Luna. Not infront of Snape. He'll deduct house points." Ginny's voice was full of sorrow as she looked at her ruined skirt.
"Luna opened her mouth to object when Snape intercepted. "What is going on here. Weasley, what have you done 'now'?"
"It wasn't her sir it was-"
"It was an accident.." Ginny interrupted before Luna had a chance to shout her mouth off. "I spilt some of my potion and burnt a hole in my skirt. May I be excused to clear it up and put on a ...erm....holeless skirt?"
Snape smirked at the thought of having the Weasley girl walk around in her skirt with a hole in it, but then decided it wouldn't be appropriate.
"Well I suppose you had better. And don't bother coming back. Class will be dismissed by the time you're done. Take your things. Go on. Go!"
Ginny scooped all her things off her desk and into her bag, and ran out of the classroom, making sure her cloak was draped over her skirt so as not to bear the hole. She ran as fast as she could to the upper levels of the school to the nearest toilet she could find. She was running at top speed down the Charms corridor when infront of her, she saw a group of 7th year Slytherin girls, that consisted of Pansy Parkinson, Millicent Mulstrode and Bethany's older sister Tanya.
"Damn!" She muttered. She couldn't get past them with out them noticing something, and that would lead to serious trouble. She turned round and tip toed quietly out of the corridor. As she came to the end, and the group of girls could only just be heard, Ginny turned to see a door, which read: "Boys Toilets"
"Ok...theres no one around. Just run in and run out again. Easy"
Ginny looked in both directions down the corridor to make sure the coast was clear. When she was sure she wouldn't be seen, she pushed the heavy wooden door open and disappeared inside.
Once inside, Ginny could clearly smell...the smell of.....Boys. Looking around, she noticed that it was every different to any 'girls' toilet she'd ever been in. The walls were very much the same, but there were urinals on the walls, (no privacy I see) and the sinks were all aligned along the wall on the right handside.
"So this is what the boys toilet looks like" Ginny chuckled.
"Yes. And last time I checked, 'you' weren't a boy"
Ginny whirled around at the sound of the voice. She grimaced as she saw the reflection of none other than Draco Malfoy looking at her through a mirror on the wall.
'Shit', she thought to herself. 'This is NOT my day'
Malfoy turned around and Ginny could see he clearly had a swollen nose from being punched that morning by Luna, and there were still some red boils- that looked rather sore- and the left side of his face.
"God Malfoy..are you ok" 'Oh my god. Did I just say that out loud?'
"No 'Weasley' I'm not bloody ok. Does it 'look' like I'm ok to you?"
Ginny was caught off guard. She realised she was staring at Malfoy with her mouth hanging open like some hungry fish, and shut it immediately.
"Well 'sorry' Malfoy. Next time I won't 'bother' asking if you're ok" She turned to leave, anger building up inside when suddenly.....
"No.....wait......sorry." Malfoy said rather pathetically. "I didnt mean to snap. Come in, I was just leaving." Malfoy began to walk to the door when Ginny reached out a hand to stop him.
"Oh my god. Did you just apologise? To ME?"
Malfoy laughed. "Ha...yeah...don't get used to it Weasley girl. What are you doing in here any way. This is a boys lav...last time I checked." Malfoy cocked his head to look at the sign above the door.
This time Ginny laughed. "Yeah...it is....but I needed to get to a toilet quickly and 'this' was the closest one I could find."
"What... couldn't wait to the end of the lesson. Needed to pee 'that' much?" He mocked.
"Well, if you must know...." Ginny lifted up her cloak so as Malfoy could see the gaping hole.
"Ha...my my my Weasley what 'have' you been up to?"
Ginny let the cloak fall. "Courtesy of Slytherin. Enough said?"
"Ah yes. Let me guess. Potions 'accident'?"
"Yep"
"Well, don't let me keep you. Have fun clearing that mess up Weasley. Ta ta!" And he was gone.
Ginny went to the sink and began to wipe frantically at her bare leg, to get rid of any moisture still there. She winced as the rubbing began to hurt, and decided she had better go and see Madam Pomfrey. On the way, her thoughts strayed to a certain blond Slytherin.
"Haha! Wait till Ron hears about this one!" She muttered to herself, and took off at top speed to get to the Infirmary before the bell rang signalling end of class.
Ginny was on her way down to McGonagals classroom when she heard someone from behind her call her name.
"Ginny....Ginny wait up...."
Ginny turned round to see Luna Lovegood running in her direction, hands full of books.
"Hey Luna. How are you?"
Luna caught up with Ginny and paused at her side to catch her breath, resting a hand on Ginny's shoulder to balance her.
