Sitting up in her bed, Ginny knew she had been dreaming. A cold sweat had covered her whole body, and she felt a sensation in her lower parts and it made her squirm a bit under her blankets. She looked to her dear friend, Amanda, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, but Ginny knew she couldn't go back to a sound sleep herself, not after having that nightmare. Still shivering and trying to get the images and feelings out of her head, she knew what real feelings she did have; she really felt wanting for Draco in her dream, and she didn't feel it was right, considering she was currently dating the-boy-who-lived and all. Yep, Ginny had gotten the man that had been the apple of her eye for so long, and she was happy. She had to have been; otherwise they would have broken up by now, wouldn't you think?
Ginny looked back to Amanda Keeper, one of her very best friends, whose wavy brown hair was flowing off the side of her pillow. Ginny envied Mandy, as a few people called her, for her beautiful hair, and wished her own was that long; even though she was trying to grow it out, it wasn't going as quickly as too her liking. But, Mandy was a sweet, lovely girl, who was always there for Ginny, and had been there for her through her teenage years, and would probably be there forever, considering they both promised each other they would be in the same profession. Smiling at her friend, she knew everything was going to be ok, and she could have gone to sleep, but just as she lay back down and closed her eyes, her other dear, dear friend, Brittany, came out of the bathroom and shook her viciously, "Ginny! Get your scrawny butt out of bed!" Brittany laughed, and shook her head, "It's already 5:40, girl! Wake up!" Then Britt proceeded over to Mandy's bed and provoked her in the same manner.
Brittany Scout had shoulder-length blonde hair that she dyed every summer. She was one of those girls that looked so perfect, but weren't all too smart, but she managed to pass every year, so no one said anything to her. Of course, there were the occasional snicker and chuckle around her when she answered any of the simplest questioned incorrectly, but it didn't hurt Britt's feelings; she laughed along with them, not knowing what was so funny. And of course, to her disliking, Brittany was called a blonde once in a while.
Ginny groaned and moaned, but she finally sat back up and rubbed her eyes at the sudden light that had flickered from the nearby window. The sun was now high enough to shine through the girl's dorm window, and it made Ginny sigh. Then she thought about what day yesterday was, and threw a pillow at Brittany, "You butthead! It's Saturday! What the heck are ya waking us up for?! Ya blonde!" Ginny shook her head and stood up anyway, since she knew she could never get back to sleep now that she had seen the sun. Of course, Mandy had no problems getting back to her dosing, after throwing her own pillowed at the green eyed, blonde, oh so innocent girl who had woken her. Brittany and Ginny went down to the common room and looked around.
Since Ginny was still in her pajamas, she was more than glad to see only Ron in the common room, sleeping. There was some weird fluff ball at his feet, and Ginny wanted to know what it was. She quietly crept over to where Ron was laying, and peeked over at the other end of the couch. Laughing loudly enough to wake her brother and his bushy-haired mate, Ginny covered her mouth, then looked to Britt. She walked over to her and whispered, "It's 'Mione! Surprise, surprise…" Ginny had known for a long time that Ronald had a crush on Hermione, and it was obvious he had told her, and hopefully Hermione liked him back, otherwise they better not have just been studying there on that couch in the many hours of the night. Considering there were no books spread about, Ginny had a feeling Ron had told Hermione.
After getting over the shock of what she had just seen, Ginny went back to the girl's dorm and got dressed. Today she decided to wear a black baby-tee shirt from Aeropostle and a pair of khaki, baggy pants. Her shirt said, "Gotta love me" on the back, but Ginny just liked the way it had fit on her and showed off her 15 year old curves. Her pants didn't show them so much, but she didn't have a lot of curves in her back lower half of her, so it was all good.
Once she was dressed, she met Britt back in the common room, whom was poking Ron in the shoulder over and over, trying to wake him, but it did Ron no good. Ginny rolled her eyes and walked over to her oh-so-dumb friend and whispered harshly in Ron's ear, "Spiders!" Ron's screaming could be heard from miles off, and woke Hermione instantly, who then blinked a few times, not knowing anyone but the two of them were there. She cleared her throat and closed her eyes, "Ron, honey, what's the matter?" Ron glared at Ginny and pointed to the portrait, as a sign to leave. His ears were crimson, along with his upper cheeks, just like any other Weasley. Ginny laughed and nodded, taking Brittany by the arm and heading out of the Gryffindor Tower.
They both swapped dream stories, as they did every morning. Brittany had a dream about a puppy, a little black one, maybe a Labrador, Ginny nodded and listened to the rest of the funny dream, "Then, it came running at me with it's teeth bared, so I screamed and started to run away from it, but in my dream I ran just a tad to slow." She smiled, "But it turned out all the little puppy wanted was to lick my face I think I had chocolate pudding on it or something." Brittany shrugged then looked at Ginny, "Well, did you have any dreams?" Ginny thought about whether to tell Brittany about her dream or not. She never told of any sexual ones before, since she didn't have too many, so she decided not to start now, and shook her head, "I wish I had, but I didn't have a single dream." It wasn't a whole lie, since Ginny thought of it as a nightmare.
They waited by the portrait for about another ten minutes, waiting for Mandy to wake and come out, but she never did, so the two of them headed down to the Great Hall without her. It was around 6:20 now, and almost no students were up now, but Ginny and Britt sat at the Gryffindor table anyway, and both ate a piece of plain toast, and drank down a glass of milk. But, Brittany also chose to scarf down some eggs. They sat for a while longer, talking about what they would do today. Ginny knew she had a huge essay due on Monday, but was going to procrastinate until Sunday night. Brittany had already done the assignment, with a bit of help from Mandy and Hermione; neither girl could explain to Brittany why turning chickens into eggs was important, because both of them really knew it wasn't, but they were such brainy-acks they had to try and think up something. A few, "uhs" and "ums" later, Britt gave up on them and guessed her way through the whole homework.
Brittany saw Mandy walk in with a yawn and grinned, "About time sleepy head!" Mandy glared at Brittany, "Shove off, you—err…sorry, I'm just dead tired." Brittany blinked at her friend, then shook her head, "Are you kidding, it's almost 7 o'clock!" Laughing, Ginny changed the subject, "So, Mandy, what're you doing today?" Mandy looked to Ginny and grinned, "Well, since I have my homework done…" She put a lot of emphasis on the word 'homework' as if it brought any importance to Ginny, "I'm planning on doing nothing all day. Maybe go to the lake for a sit." She nodded.
Brittany's jaw dropped, "Nuh-uh! You've got to have better plans than that!" She giggled, "I know I do."
Ginny nodded, "Yeah, me too. Mandy, you need to get a boyfriend, dalin'!"
Shrugging, Amanda thought about their reasoning and nodded, "Maybe I'll find one today…" She had a huge crush on Ron, but he was kind of taken now, and she knew he didn't like her. She was ok with it, though, since there was this guy named Tom Bruise she really liked (Yes, Tom Cruise…but I couldn't use his name, because I did not ask, so I changed it! Back off me! Ha) and she thought about flirting with him, 'Yeah, maybe I'll just go and find me one today."
Just then, Harry came over to Ginny and planted a sweet kiss on her cheek and said, "Hey, beautiful. Did you sleep well last night?" Ginny grinned and nodded, returning a kiss to Harry, "Yes, Sexy, and what about yourself?" Harry blushed a bit and just nodded to her, then held her hand.
"What do you want to do today my love?" He said with a bit of sarcasm. The couple always said lovey-dovey things around other people, either to make them aww or to make them gag, which ever the audience preferred. In this case, they had a one and one; Amanda gagged while Brittany 'awwed'.
Ginny blinked and smiled sweetly, "Oh, I dunno. Maybe a nice picnic by the shore of the lake. Just you and me…"
Harry nodded and rubbed his nose on hers and talked in a babyish tone, "Ok, my snookums! I'll do whatever you want me too! I love joo!"
Ginny giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him softly on the lips, "I'm sure you do, love of my life."
Suddenly, they heard an applauding coming from a few pairs of icy hands that only sought out to hurt and to make others plead for mercy. It was the Slytherin royalties; there was the prince, Draco, and his fellow Blaise Zabini. Then came the jester of the few, Nathaniel Murray. Those were the boys of the group. The princess of course was Pansy Parkinson, then came her fellow, Leigh Ann, aka, LA. Leigh Ann's last name was unknown to most, but some believed it to be Tiscione, while others thought it was Zambinernie. Either way, the girl hated it and decided not to have a last name at all.
--Authors Note: OK, remember my disclaimer? Well, as you can see, so far I own the following charries: Brittany, Amanda, Tom, Nathaniel, and LA. Continue—
Draco, being the leader of the foul group, was of course the first to speak up, "Aw, isn't that just so sweet? Look at that…little Weaselette and Potty boy. Isn't it cute?" He blinked a few times just for the effect it would bring, then he snickered a bit, then his followers snickered slightly as well.
"Oh, shove off, Malfoy." Harry sighed slightly, being completely annoyed with the same routine day after day.
Ginny smirked, then stepped away from Harry, and looked to Draco with her held tilted slightly, "Can't you think of anything better to do, ferret?" She laughed sarcastically, "Oh, yes…that's right, your girlfriend is a bit too rough for you, isn't she?" Ginny rolled her eyes, and didn't wait for any sort of response and kissed Harry on the cheek, "I'll see you later. I better get to detention." Smiling to him, she turned and pushed past the Slytherin group, just to get a glance of Pansy's dumbstruck face, and to see Draco still smirking.
Now, Ginny wasn't one to normally receive a detention, but the day before yesterday just set her off. First, she'd gotten a spit wad stuck to the side of her face. It was so disgusting, but at least it hadn't been intended: The culprit had meant to throw it at the boy sitting next to her, or so he said. When Ginny had found out who it was, however, she proceeded to throw it back at them, and of course, she had gotten caught for it. Since the little saliva balls were scattered across the floor, Ginny had been suspected for throw the majority of them, and received a Saturday detention.
As she got to the grand staircase, Ginny heard her name being called, and turned to see that pale faced and gray eyed boy following her, "What could you possibly want, Malfoy?"
Malfoy shook his head, "What are you talking about?"
Ginny glared at him, then sighed angrily and continued her way to her detention, which unfortunately she had it with that annoying little prat who loved to torture her so. Draco, in fact, was just walking so close to Ginny, he stepped on her shoes several times, and even made her shake with angry. She stopped walking suddenly, and turned to the ferret, "Can't you take a few steps back, Malfoy?"
"No, I can't back up," Draco laughed a bit, "but, you could walk faster, ya know." He winked at her, causing Ginny's eyebrow to quirk slightly, wondering what in the name of Merlin he was up to. She sighed and kept walking, picking up her speed a bit. The plan didn't work. Draco picked up speed as well. Stopping abruptly once again, Ginny turned around and Draco smacked into her, making her lose her balance, but she regained it enough so she wouldn't fall backward.
"Why are you following me?" Ginny looked into Draco's gray eyes, and found them mesmerizing. She couldn't tear her gaze from him, so took the time to glare thoroughly at him.
Draco gasped fakely, and smirked, lying to her sarcastically, "Me? Following you? Wouldn't think of it!" He laughed slightly, "Now, please keep walking…don't want to be late for that detention, do we?"
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Uh, yeah we do. If you don't back off, ferret boy, I swear…"
"Swear what?" Draco blinked at her innocently.
"I'll make sure you're stay in detention is the worst ever, is what!"
"Yeah? Well we'll just see about that, weasel."
Ginny tilted her head and raised both eyebrows, "Uh huh, we will." She blinked, then turned around and started to walk very slowly down the hallway, making Draco sigh angrily, and walk in front of her, "Can't you walk any faster?" Ginny started humming and ignored him. Draco just grinned, "Fine, then." He went back behind her, and pushed her in the small of her back, making her walk faster.
"Draco! Stop that!" Ginny didn't even have to walk. Draco was strong enough to push her down the hall with no help from her at all, and even with her trying to stop but pushing her feet hard unto the floor, causing loud squeaking noises through the empty hallway to the dungeons, "MALFOY! Cut it out already! I get the point, I'll walk faster, geroff!"
"Tisk, tisk, Ginny, yelling like that…" Draco laughed half-heartedly, and then let her go when they reached the stairs. Ginny's balance deceived her, and she fell backward.
"Draco…" She mumbled just loud enough for him to hear.
Not turning, he started humming and making his way down to the dungeons for his detention, leaving Ginny red-faced and furious. She stood and shivered, counting to ten, then going down the stairs herself, thinking, If that boy talks to me one time, just one time…he's going to be a ferret for the rest of his miserable days!
