Chapter 3:

Ginny's P.O.V.

"What the hell is wrong with you Weasley?!" came an ice-cold voice. "Apart from the fact that you're a Weasley of course."

She looked up at the owner of that voice. Through tear filled eyes she could see white blond hair, neatly brushed back, grey icy eyes, pale skin, and that trademark smirk.

Draco Malfoy. Oh no, Not now.

Draco Malfoy was the last person she wanted to see. He was what she hated. He always teased her. He teased everyone. But if he knew that she had just been shut down by Harry she didn't know if she could live through it.

She stared at him unbelieving.

Maybe she was just imagining it. Maybe he wasn't there. Maybe she was just asleep.

Maybe if she kept at it she'd finally get herself to believe the crap she was feeding herself. Draco Malfoy was standing outside of her door and she knew it. He walked in on her crying her eyes out over Harry. He was going to make her life a living hell for it. There was no way she could get out of that one.

"Do you find me attractive Weasley?" He smirked.

That bastard. Actually thinking she liked him? He lived in a world where everyone with breasts and a few with penises thought he was God of anything sexual. It was about time someone put him out of it.

"Since when did stupidity become attractive Malfoy?" she shot back. It was clear from her tone that she was in no mood for his teasing today.

She lay back on the couch, proud of what she had just said. Finally he was getting what was coming to him.

"Apparently since Potter came to Hogwarts, " he stated with ease.

Ginny considered what had happened with Harry earlier. She could not contest what Malfoy had said. She had to admit, Harry was a little on the dense side. He couldn't even see what was right in front of him. Her. Instead he went around with all those girls who didn't care about him. All they wanted him for was the social status they got from dating the famous 'Harry Potter'.

Maybe he would notice her if she made her change more obvious.


That might work, she thought.

"What! Why aren't you defending you're precious Potter, Weasley?" Malfoy inquired, shocked.

She looked up into his pools of grey. She could tell he was thinking of the reason she didn't stick up for Harry.

She prayed he wouldn't figure it out. That he would just drop it. She prayed really hard.

"It's Potter isn't it?" Malfoy asked. He looked at her with curiosity. "What has he done to you Weasley?" But prayer had a way of not working for her.

Ginny wanted to tell someone but she couldn't tell Malfoy. Anyone but Malfoy.

Was she mad? Actually considering telling Malfoy, when she knew all he would do was make fun. She was used to keeping things to herself. She had been doing it for awhile.

She knew that if she didn't push Malfoy away he would get to the bottom of the situation sooner or later. He never gave up until he got what he wanted.

"What's it to you Malfoy?" she asked coldly.

" Nothing Weasley, nothing but a good laugh." He chuckled. " You had to expect it sooner or later. Frankly, I knew it all along. The whole school did. We all knew you had no chance with Potter. He sees through you. I'm amazed you didn't see it yourself."

Despite trying to block him out she couldn't help but be angry. They all knew. The whole School. Ron, Hermione, Luna, Parvati, Lavender. All of them. And they kept their mouths shut. She could just see them laughing at her behind her back.

Her hands shook with anger. A tear ran down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away.

She couldn't let him see her like this. She had to get rid of him.

"You know what Malfoy, I really don't give a shit about what you think so why don't you just get out!" She ordered. She felt her face turn hot with anger.

"In case you didn't know Weasley, not that I blame you it's the nature of your family to be clueless," he started," this is MY chamber, MY PRIVATE chamber. So I suggest that YOU get out."

"I don't see your name anywhere on it, "she contested.

She watched as Malfoy made his way to the door. Finally, he was getting out.

But much to her surprise Draco stopped at the door and slid it closed revealing letters engraved in mahogany. The letters read 'Mr. Draco Malfoy.'

"You were saying?' He asked.

"Smart, Malfoy, very smart," she said.

"It's in my nature, Weasley," he replied. "Now, I suppose you will be leaving."

"Oh I'm not going anywhere." She smiled slyly.

"What do you mean you're not going anywhere?" He asked furiously.

"Just what I said. Didn't you here me?" She said calmly.

"Maybe you didn't hear me. This is MY chamber." He screamed.

"Oh, I heard you Malfoy. But I'm still not moving."

She heard him give a little laugh. "You have certainly changed Weasley. What made you this way?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she teased. "Pass me one of those chocolate frogs."

"What, no please? Manners Weasley," he scolded.

"I'll have manners and bother to speak in your language: PASS ME THE FROG OR MY FATHER WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!"

He chuckled, amused. "It only works when your father actually has power."

She shook her head, "It only works when the people are stupid enough to be scared of your bluff."

"You are amusing, " he stated lightly.

"Excuse me?!" Ginny exclaimed. "What did you say?"

"Oh don't play Weasley, you heard what I said."

"I heard it alright. But I can't believe it. Do you know you're talking to a Weasley, Malfoy? Don't you hate my family?"

"No, Weasley, I hate assholes. And it just happens that the other Weasley's, Potter, Granger and the rest of them are assholes. By the way, why aren't you with them?"

"Like you said," she explained, "They're all assholes."

"Finally wised up? I've always known that. What changed your mind?"

"Well I grew up. I see things clearly now."

"Not too clearly. If you really did, you wouldn't be here crying over Potter."

"What makes you think I'm crying over Harry?" she asked, trying to make Malfoy think otherwise.

"I don't think, I know. So you might as well drop the act and tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help you."

"Help me? Malfoy we both know you don't help anyone but yourself."

"True, True" He agreed.

She was about to bring up the fact that all he had ever done to her was make her life a living hell when she was interrupted.

"We're almost at Hogwarts, aren't you going to change into your dress robes?" he asked.

"Yeah, is there a bathroom here, or a changing room?"

"What, afraid to change in front of me?"

Who did he think he was?

"Not even Malfoy. Besides I'm wearing clothes under my robes."

"Well then, change," He told her.

That was when she realized she was afraid of changing in front of him. But it was too late. She was going to change in front of Draco. He was going to laugh at her. She was going to be humiliated.

She slowly removed her robes revealing the outfit she had picked out this morning just for Harry. She was wearing a khaki skirt, which was deviously short. It showed of her smooth, long, slender legs. She also wore a black tight tube top. It flirtatiously gave a glimpse of her round breasts, then moved with her skin to accentuate her curvaceous waist, it then stopped short revealing her naval.

"Who knew the littlest Weasley had a body like that hiding!" Draco commented appreciatively.

"If you haven't noticed I've changed, Malfoy," she replied while folding her robes.

"Well I've noticed," he smirked.

Ginny blushed. That was the first time someone actually noticed her. It was the first time she wasn't seen as a baby.

"Tell me Malfoy," she began, "why are you being so nice to me? What do you want?"

"Nothing. You've impressed me that's all."

"I've impressed you?" she said doubtfully while putting on her dress robes.

"You're not going to put that on now are you?" Malfoy asked.

"Well, we are close to Hogwarts, you said so yourself. What do you suppose I do?"

"I guess you should get dressed. It's just a shame that your robes hide that gorgeous body of yours," he told her.

"It's not all that gorgeous," Ginny said shyly. She wasn't used to comments like that.

"It's no wonder you can't get Potter, Weasley, you lack confidence."

Ginny thought about that for a moment. Was that the reason Cho got Harry and she didn't?

"What would you know about attracting boys?" she asked coldly.

"I know plenty. I am a boy myself you know. I could help you if you want." He offered.

"No thanks Malfoy," she said while putting on her black lace dress robes.

"Suit yourself," he said.

"Aren't you going to get dressed?" Ginny asked after a moment.

"Yes," he replied. "And Weasley?"

"Hmmm?" she answered while eating a chocolate frog.

"I'm not wearing anything under my robes."

Her eyes widened in surprise. She almost choked on her chocolate frog and started coughing.

Draco poured her a glass of water from the jug that lay on the tray.

"Merlin. I was only kidding Weasley. You are so easy to get to."

"If I remember clearly I got to you when I removed my robes."

"If you say so," he replied. She could tell that it was true from the look on his face.

Draco removed his own robes revealing his deliciously perfect body.

He didn't have a bad body either, she thought.

He had on a pair of loose fitting jeans. He was so tall, and his abs were so firm. Ginny had to admit that he had one of the best bodies she had ever seen. He was wearing a black t-shirt with the words 'My bitch went to Azkaban and all I got was this shitty t-shirt.'

Ginny laughed, "Nice shirt Malfoy. Where'd you get it?"

"Some girl gave it to me for Christmas."

"Who's the girl?"

"How'd you expect me to know? I can't be expected to keep track of all of them."

"My mother would die if she saw me wearing a t-shirt like that." She told him.

"Then maybe I'll get you one." He said casually.

"Yeah, right," she replied sarcastically.

She lay back on the couch and looked at him changing into his robes.

She was actually having a good time with Malfoy. A better time than she would have had with Harry, Hermione and Ron... and Cho. Maybe this year wouldn't be so bad.

"We'll arrive soon," Draco told her taking a seat next to her.

She nodded and then smiled. Hopefully not too soon.

"Wake up Weasley," Ginny heard as she came back to reality. "You were sleeping," the voice said. She turned up and was greeted by pale skin, blonde hair and grey eyes. She had almost forgotten she was in the same compartment with Malfoy.

"Did I ask you to wake me?" she said rather grumpy. She hated being awakened when she was sleeping.

"No, but I figured that you were going to Hogwarts," he sated sarcastically. "We've arrived," he told her.

"Oh, thanks then."

They both got up and collected they're bags.

"Are you walking in with me, or are you going with Potter and his sidekicks?" Draco asked.

"You want to walk in with me?" she asked surprised.

Draco rolled his eyes, "If I didn't want to walk in with you I wouldn't ask would I? You need to have more confidence Weasley."

"Well, can you blame me? You have made my life a living hell for 5 years." She said.

"Yes, yes I know. So are you coming then?"

"Yeah sure," she said.

Why not? It was just Draco Malfoy. Her worst enemy.

They were walking out of the compartment when Ginny heard her name being yelled in the train.

"Ginny! Ginny! Where are you!"

"Ron," she groaned.

"Sounds like they're looking for you," Draco said.

"Yeah, now they notice I'm gone," she replied sulkily.

"I guess you'll have to go with them then," Draco stated unemotionally.

"Yeah," she replied quietly.

"Alright, see you around school then."

"Ok Malfoy."

"You can call me Draco now, Weasley," he told her, "since we aren't enemies anymore."

"Only if you call me Ginny," she agreed.

"I thought you're name was Virginia?" he asked.

"It is," she began remembering Hermione that morning, "but I hate it."

"Alright, see you around school then Gin."

"Ok Draco."

She smiled at him and turned around.

She heard her name again, "Ginny!"

The past hour was definitely not part of her plan. And it left her more confused than before.

She then ran down the corridor screaming, " Scream a little louder Ron! What is wrong with you?!"
