Chapter 3
At breakfast the next morning, Ginny was surprised when an owl landed in her eggs. Yes, that's right, IN her eggs. That hadn't happened since Errol, the family's ancient post owl, went to the owlrey in the sky. She took the letter that was tied to it's leg and noticed that the owl was now slurping her juice. "Ew!" she exclaimed as she shooed the bird away. It managed to swipe her head with it's wing as it took off, totally messing up Ginny's hair.
As Ginny opened the letter, she wasn't surprised to see it was from Draco. Bugger! He's still Malfoy! Why can't I get that straight?
Ginny, (See, I got it right this time)
I think we need to get together to discuss strategy. Meet me by the lake after dinner tonight. I'll bring Blaise if you bring your friend. But, tell her to wear clothes that haven't been digested yet.
I feed my owl only the highest quality owl treats. It's not my fault that your bed looks like his toilet.
Draco
Ginny was infuriated. How could he say that about her bed? He'd never even seen it. Maybe she'd just have to have him come and see for himself what his stupid bird did. Wait, was she actually thinking about bringing D-Malfoy 'Ha! Caught myself that time!' to her room? She looked across the room at the Slytherin table and caught the little ferret's eye. She nodded her head tersely to let him know that she'd meet him and when he tilted his head toward Blaise, Ginny nodded again. Draco got up to leave and Ginny flung a bit of her now ruined egg towards the back of his head. It hit him with a smack and he clapped his hand to the back of his head and spun around looking for the guilty party. It was hard to figure out who threw it because all of Gryffindor house was laughing hysterically and a few of the Huflepuffs and Ravenclaws were as well. He turned on his heel and stormed out of the hall.
"Gin, that was fabulous!" Ron exclaimed. He held his hand up in hopes of getting a high five but Ginny just looked at him like he was an idiot. She got up and left for her first class of the day only to hear Ron yelling, "Oi! Gin, come back! You can't leave me hanging!" Stupid prat will probably still be sitting there with his hand raised at lunchtime. What an idiot! She thought as she climbed the stairs.
Sure enough, when she got to lunch, Ron was complaining very loudly to Harry that he had been fifteen minutes late to Potions and it was all Ginny's fault. Ginny paid no attention as she pulled the bowl of olives in front of her and dumped the whole contents onto her plate. Luna wandered over and said, "Oh good, I was hoping to make some socks to match my skirt." Ginny assured Luna that she would receive all the pits and then whispered to her about the meeting by the lake after dinner so Harry and Ron wouldn't overhear. That proved to be totally unnecessary though because just then Ron's voice raised enough that Ginny and Luna could hear their argument which was becoming more heated with every breath. "I'm sure Snape wears briefs," Harry said. "I saw it in the pensieve, remember?"
"But that was when he was 15, I'm sure by now he's discovered the joys of the boxer. They let so much more air circulate."
"No, he's way too cranky to have good circulation, there." Ron's face was turning red. "He is not!" Ginny's jaw dropped in disbelief. Who the hell cares? She wanted to scream at them. But, she worried that may make them try and draw her into the conversation as well, so she gathered her belongings and made her way over to sit at the Ravenclaw table with Luna. She had never realized just how embarrassing it was to be related to Ron before that moment. Even Hermione had moved on. She was dating Terry Boot from Ravenclaw now. Harry had tried to kiss Hermione at the end of last year, but something happened that was very embarrassing for both of them because neither had spoken to the other since then. They just blushed and looked away. Maybe Hermione will talk to me about that incident now that she doesn't spend every waking moment with them, Ginny thought. That could be some good ammunition for my little scheme. I wonder what Draco 'Bugger! Did it again!' Malfoy has in mind?
After dinner, Luna and Ginny made their way out to the lake and sat down on the soft grass. Luna took her shoes and socks off so that she could feel the grass between her toes. "Did you know that a bit of fresh-cut grass makes the perfect aphrodisiac? For some reason, it brings out the animal instincts in men and crumple horned snorkaps." Ginny didn't know this because, of course, Luna was a complete whack job. But, being her best friend, she just smiled and nodded. The snap of a twig behind them alerted them to the boys' arrival. "Good evening, Gentlemen," Luna greeted them with a smile. Ginny looked at her friend and rolled her eyes.
Blaise leaned over to take Luna's hand and brushed a kiss on her knuckles. Luna giggled and blushed, "See Ginny, grass." "Would you like to go for a little walk with me?" Blaise asked her. She smiled and stood to join him.
"Bye, Ginny, be good." Luna chuckled to herself as she allowed the handsome Slytherin to lead her away from their friends.
Ginny looked up at Malfoy and said, "You may as well pull up a seat." Draco sat next to her a little closer than she was comfortable with. After all, it was Malfoy. "So, Ferret, what's this great plan of yours? And it better be good." He told her everything he wanted to do, with the exception of kissing her in front of Ron. She told him about her idea with Hermione's secret. They agreed that she would talk to Hermione and then they would put some of his plans into action.
"Well, do you think Blaise and your friend, Loony right?, are getting along ok?" "Her name is Luna and seeing as it looks like she just sucked his face off, I'd say they seem to be getting along fine. It's the grass, you know." He raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Luna said that grass is an aphrodisiac that men can't resist. But, you seem to be doing fine, Ferret." "Well, maybe you have to not detest the person you're with for it to work." He responded. So, that explained why he had the sudden urge to throw himself on her and snog her senseless. He'd have to make sure that they met in the Library from now on. "Hey Loverboy! We need to get back up to the castle now!" Blaise and Luna returned looking very rumpled and out of breath. The group parted ways and walked back separately in case there were any prying eyes.
A/N Ok. I know I left ya hanging! What are in Draco's plans? Well,you'll just have to wait and see. hehehe
