Disclaimer: I don't own Draco, Ginny or anyone else but Ann.

A/N1 I changed Ja'Liyah's name to Ann. Hope it doesn't confuse anyone!

"So Weasley, what's your excuse this time?"

"Well see, what had happened was. Yeah my excuse is, I just didn't do it. Ann and I were playing a game and one thing lead to another. We're really sorry Professor Snape. We promise it won't happen again," Ginny explained.

"It shouldn't even happen once Weasley. You and your little friend will serve a weeks worth of detention. You will serve it with me and her with Professor McGonagall. Now get out of my sight," Professor Snape growled.

"Yes sir," Ginny and Ann said together as they made their way out of the potions classroom.

"God Gin! Why did you tell him that?"

"Oh Ann, he would have given us detention if we told him a good lie or not and you know it," Ginny said.

"You're probably right," Ann sighed.

"The worst part is, I have to have it with him while you get McGonagall."

"Sucks to be you love."

"For the second time in my life, it does."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weasley,

Be in my classroom at eight o' clock sharp tomorrow night. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Faliure to be on time will mean further detentions.

Severus Snape

"Arg! I sure hope there's no Quidditch practice this week. Ron'll kill me if I miss even one," Ginny said.

"Same here. McGonagall sent me a note a while ago. Does that mean we'll have to skip dinner?" Ann asked.

"Most likely. That's gonna suck."

"Yeah. I wonder who else has detention."

"Probably the whole of Slytherin house. Them fuckers are troublemakers. I swear if I have to serve detention with Malfoy I'll kill myself ," said Ginny.

"Oh Gin, grow up. You like the little ferret. This will give you two a little alone time. If he has detention that is," said Ann.

"Fuck this shit, let's go eat."

"Good idea," Ann agreed.

As Ginny and Ann made their way to the Great Hall, they met Harry Hermione and Ron. Not wanting Ron to find out from someone else, Ginny decided to tell him about her detentions with Snape. Needless to say, he was not happy.

"You what?! How the hell did that happen?"

"Jeez Ron, don't have a cow. I just didn't do my homework," Ginny said calmly.

"You "just" didn't do your homework? Ginny it's your sixth year! It's very important!" Hermione yelled.

"Since when did my life become your concern Hermione? You're not my sister, my mother or my friend. It has nothing to do with you," Ginny snapped.

For the first time in her life, Hermione Granger was speechless. Ginny knew she was only trying to be nice, but it got on her nerves. Hermione had no authority over her. She glared at her brother.

"Ronald, you're yelling at me like you've never had a detention before. Fuck this, I'm going to dinner. Listen "Golden Trio", do me a favor and stay away," Ginny snarled.

So caught up in the argument, they didn't notice the large crowd gather around them. They were all staring at Ginny like she had three heads or something. In addition, this wasn't even none of their business. Ok, so having an argument in the middle of the hallway made it public. Whatever.

"What the fuck are you all staring at? Take a picture, it last longer," Ginny snapped.

Motioning for Ann to follow, Ginny made her way to the Great Hall. She was so angry she had lost her apatite. All she did was glare into her plate the whole time. She was impatiently waiting for Ann to finish her meal. Ginny was just about to tell her to hurry up when a voice behind her caught her attention.

"Looks like you've grown balls Weaslette. That was a nice little show you put on out there. You really shocked the trio. I, for one, knew you had it in you. It just had to be provoked."

Was he out there? She didn't remember seeing hair like his. It was a big crowd of course, but surely he would have made some rude comment if he was there. It's in his nature. Sighing, Ginny turned around.

"You should know all about provoking Malfoy," she said.

"That I do. The trio's very easy to provoke You can call your brother ickle Ronikins and he's ready to fight."

Ginny couldn't help but laugh. Here she was, having a conversation with a Malfoy about her brother. It felt a little like betrayal but Ginny didn't care. Malfoy was actually a pretty funny guy.

"Er, yeah. You have Fred and George to thank for that," Ginny said smiling.

"Look Malfoy, I'd love, really, to stay and talk but I have homework," Ginny said getting up.

"Well you're no fun. You didn't even get mad!"

"Why would I get mad?"

"Hmm I don't know, because I was making fun of your brother?"

"Oh please Draco, as far as I know Ron's not my brother anymore," said Ginny.

Ginny was making her way out of the Great Hall. Ann had left a little before her so she was alone. Or so she thought.

"So where did you say you had to go?"

Ginny started, "Fuck Malfoy! I didn't know you were there!"

"I, er, just wanted to know if you wanted to go for a walk or something," Draco said.

It was Ginny's turn to stare. He wanted to go for a walk? With her? Ginny couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She thought to herself: This is a Malfoy we're talking about here. What if he tries to rape me or something?

"Why? What do you want from me?"

"Jeez, paranoid much?" he asked.

"Not paranoid. More like, scared," said Ginny.

"Scared of what? It's not like I'm going to rape you or something," Draco said sounding a little on the hurt side.

Ginny went red.

"I see," said Draco, " Just forget I asked."

Before Ginny had a chance to apologize, Draco was halfway down the hallway. Now what have I done?

A/N2 Short like always. Thanks for waiting for my update. I promise I won't take so long next time. Thanks to my reviewers! 33
