Hehe. Sorry for the long wait. I had writer's block. Seriously. I'll open up this file and stare at it for the longest time, and then close it after an hour passes by. But now, it's summer vacation so I've got this big wall around me and it's keeping me from writing. I know it's not that good and funny but I've tried… I'm suffering from severe procrastination and laziness and vocabulary break downs so it could be confusing as well. Well, I really really really hope you enjoy. ;)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Auntie? Is that you?"
"Yes, why, yes it is."
"What are you doing here?"
"Why, yes, what AM I doing here?"
"That's… that's what I just asked you."
"Right. Yes, yes. That IS what you asked me, isn't it?" Munching on her banana, Ginny's aunt rocked in her chair.
"Whatever. Auntie? I got a job! So I don't think you would really have to give me any more yellow covered money, okay?"
"Whatever."
"Yeah…" Shaking her head, Ginny walked away to her own room.
"Oh! Ginny! You're home!" Her aunt cried out after her, chewing her banana endlessly.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was the first day of work.
It felt like the first day of school. Ginny's heart raced with adrenaline the first minute she woke up.
After dinner that night, Ginny ran home to find a big fat package explaining all the painful rules, schedules, and qualities of working at the toy store. Wake up at 6, get to work by 7:30, make toys, argue with co-workers, drink coffee, drink coffee, drink coffee, succumb to the ferret boss, make some more toys, read papers, drink coffee, and then, go home.
Very nice.
Ginny opened her closet to find her new fresh smelling clothes. Her wardrobe was probably larger than all of her brothers' put together.
She pulled on her thin gray pants, sucked in for the buttons, and then quickly threw her pink elbow length shirt on.
Ever since she came to the U.S, she had become fascinated by the hair curlers. How those spiky cylindrical things could make your hair as curly as a curly fry was just unbelievable. Amazing. Truly magnificent.
Rolling out the curlers she had ever so carefully rolled into her hair the night before, she turned to the mirror and smiled.
She was going to work at the toy company! Goody!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Who are you? Why you come into building? Me no know you." A big… big security guard stopped Ginny from passing.
"I'm… a new employee. The name is Ginny Weasley."
"Hur… Me still no know you."
"Well, you know me now. And don't you know how to speak english?"
"Er… not really, no sorry."
"First lesson, learn to use the word 'I.' Talk to you later." Ginny ran through the door as the security guard yelled after her.
The office fell into silence as all heads turned toward her.
She waved.
'You are SO pathetic' She mentally made a note never to slam the door behind her again.
Somewhere from the crowd of soon-to-be-co-workers, someone cried out, "NEWBIE" and with little shakes of heads and clicking of tongues, the floor was bustling once again. Ginny was lost.
She stood there, not knowing what to do and where to go when a far door opened and a blond head popped out.
"Oh crap." Ginny muttered. She scrambled under the closest desk of a middle aged man in glasses and business suit. What kind of Toy Company was this?
"WHERE IS GINNY WEASLEY?"
Ginny bit her lips.
She looked up at the man standing over her, puzzled. She got on her knees and wrung her hands together as if to beg him not to tell.
"She's right over her, sir."
Ginny sat gaping at that traitor. The man looked at her, mouthing 'got to do what you got to do' and walked away.
She flicked him off.
"GINNY WEASLEY, YOU COME SEE ME RIGHT- what the hell are you doing under here?"
"er… masturbating?"
A disgusted face
"Thanks a lot. You've just planted the worst vision possible in my head."
"I know I know."
"FOLLOW ME." Draco bellowed.
"Hm… NAHH…"
"You know you have no choice."
"I don't? I wasn't aware that I didn't."
"Well, now you know. Either you follow me now or get out. This is no way to treat your boss."
Ginny sighed. "I'm coming, I'm coming."
And she followed Satan to the cave of DOOM. Muahaha
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What happened there that night…stays there, Understand?
How can I not understand, oh dear boss? Do you think I ever want to bring up how I left you totally bummed out at a restaurant and get myself fired in a snap of a finger? Do you think I want to tell everyone you tried to hit on me?
NO.
Go shove that up your butt face, you stupid butt face.
Ginny slammed Draco Malfoy's office door behind her.
I have decided to put you in the sales and merchandising department. It is one of the highest and most important departments so I expect much work from you. Although, you may not be used to being so high class, I have decided to be nice and let you feel what it's like.
Ohh. Not used to high class? Just watch. I'm going to do so well, you're going to get knocked off your feet and die! And I will stand by and watch. Watch happily yes.
Ginny stalked all around the floor, looking for a sign SALES AND MERCHANDISE.
Find Melinda or someone and ask them anything if you have questions. I am a busy man.
Busy man? BUSY MAN? You are no busier than that security dude outside!
Oh, and since I fired my secretary recently, I will be asking you to do some handy work for me since I can't touch anything dirty or handle harsh subjects with these hands. You should be used to it by now, yes?
No… I'm NOT used to it. Don't you understand? I have magic hands too. So lsadfjla. Go burn and DIE Draco Malfoy.
"WHERE THE (CENSORED) IS THE (CENSORED) SALES AND MERCHANDISE DEPARTMENT?"
Twenty hands pointed in one direction.
"Hello. My name is Ginny Weasley. I'm new to the department?"
"You? Work with us?" Ginny met up with 5 gorgeous blond life-size Barbie's.
"Yes…"
They giggled their little girl giggles.
"Hey! Is it true you hit it off with Brad AND the Draco Malfoy all in one night?"
"Oh my god! Really? Was it like a three-some?" Another Barbie asked.
'Oh my god. I really like don't know. But that's what I heard from when I was… at like my duty this morning!"
"Duty?" Ginny asked.
"If you haven't noticed, we're all totally in love with THE Draco Malfoy. And if we can't get him, Brad's not bad either."
"Draco Malfoy? How can you be even interested in that… that… booger?"
They all sighed a really high pitched sigh at once.
"He is soooooooo hot."
"Gorgeous."
"Beautiful!"
"Sexy."
"Manly."
"Perfect!" And they all giggled again.
"LADIES! GET BACK TO WORK NOW AND STOP FANTASIZING ABOUT YOUR BOSS."
A voice yelled from behind Ginny.
"Melinda!"
"Hey Ginny. I see you've made it. I've heard all kinds of stories about…"
Ginny clasped her hand over Melinda's mouth.
"Shhhhh. The great Draco Malfoy doesn't want to remember the day a girl actually left him." Ginny whispered in Melinda's ear. Melinda let out a muffled laugh.
"So… he put you in sales and merchandising?"
"Looks like it."
"Maybe he doesn't hate you that much? I mean, this department is very well respected and one of the top sections."
"True…"
"Here, let me show you around."
"No thanks. I…I'll rather go explore on my own. Thanks." Ginny said, eyeing a guy playing tic-tac-toe by himself.
Ginny skipped over.
"You know, tic-tac-toe is a game for two."
The man looked up and smiled.
He wasn't bad looking. He had emerald green eyes, almost identical to Harry's and mussed brown hair.
"The name is Ginny."
"Andrew."
"You seem really bored. I mean, if you're playing tic-tac-toe by yourself. What department are you from?"
Andrew blushed. "I'm just brainstorm. It's on our regular schedule."
"Playing tic-tac-toe?"
"It's… implied."
"Of course it is. Why don't you just ask to get moved?"
"All the newbie's get put into brainstorming. You're a special case I guess."
"You're new too?" Ginny asked with a sudden interest.
"Came in about a month or two ago. Me and those 4 ditz girls in your department."
"And you stayed here and they moved up? Is Malfoy sexist or something? Wait… never mind."
"I thought you'll catch that."
"Well, brainstorming sounds fun. It must be really important for making new toys and everything."
"No, they use the Tech group for thinking of new toys. We just go to meetings and agree to them and suck up."
"Hah. Hey, I'll play you. I'm the master at the game of tic-tac-toe."
"Master? Psh. You're talking to the dude who plays it every day here."
"Well, I play it every day as well, and with someone else."
"Are you mocking me?"
Ginny grinned. "NOOOOO. Hah. Move over."
Andrew moved a couple inches in his chair to leave just enough room so she could sit too.
"It's ON. Whoever loses has to buy lunch." Ginny hinted.
"Sure, sure."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"What am I supposed to do with her?"
"I don't know sir."
"I mean, just look at her. She's only been here for like 20 minutes and already, she's getting close and intimate with a co-worker! What is WRONG with her?" Draco slammed his books on his desk. Brad flinched.
"I don't know sir."
"Didn't she read those packets? No fraternizing with co-emplyees. Is she blind? Is she stupid?"
"I don't know sir."
"I mean, I'm okay. I'm her boss. But she's not allowed to do that! Is she?"
"I don't know."
"Sir! I have high authority over you." Draco snapped.
"Sorry, sir."
"Damn right you're sorry. Just… ARRR. Okay. Clear that. Maybe I'm just overreacting. What do you think."
"Me?"
"YES."
Brad stuttered. "Well… I… I… I sort of think you're… j-j-j-jealous?"
Ssssssssssiiiiiiiiiilllllllllleeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnncccccccccceeeeeeeeee
"JEALOUS? ME? JEALOUS NEVER!"
"Just kidding?"
"Yeah! You better just be kidding."
"Sorry, sir."
"You know what. Go tell Miss Weasley to see me in my office right this instance."
"Me? Now? Does that mean… I have to talk to her? I have to look at her?"
"For heavens sake," Draco rushed to the door and slammed it open. "GINNY WEASLEY. COME SEE ME IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW."
A second later, Ginny stomped in with an agitated look on her face. "What do you want."
"Watch your language around your BOSS."
"I'M SORRY. What would you like, ma'am? Tea? Would you like milk or sugar with that? How about a nice steaming cup of get-your-head-out-of-your-ass?"
All Draco needed was a stern look.
"I'm sorry. Go on."
"As I was saying, I was wondering if you have even looked at the packets that we sent you?"
"Yes."
"Well don't you remember the rule- no fraternizing with any co-workers?"
"Yes."
"What were you doing out there?"
"I was… playing tic-tac-toe, your highness. Is that not allowed? I don't remember reading that on the packets."
Draco gaped. "You… you were playing tic-tac-toe?"
"Yes."
"W-why, may I ask?" Draco tried his best to not burst out into laughter.
"There was nothing else to do… hi Brad! I didn't see you here!"
Brad waved weakly.
"Miss Weasley. Don't get side-tracked please. You-you know what? Huh. Brad? Call up reservations at Café Adria. I think I have some clearing up to do with our dear Ginny Weasley. If that's okay with you?"
"Of course not! Why would I want to have coffee with you?"
"You don't have other plans, do you? Did you want to have lunch with that Andrew guy?"
This guy was tricky.
Tricky…
'This isn't time for trick-or-treating…' Ginny thought as she tried to think of a witty and even trickier comeback.
"What if I did?"
"Then both of you will immediately be fired. Is that a problem?"
Ginny heaved. 'Don't blow up… don't blow up…'
"Mr. Malfoy, are you jealous?"
"Jealous? Jealous of what? Jealous that you're eating lunch with that Andrew guy?" Draco fumed.
"Oh ho… I never even mentioned Andrew."
"It was… implied."
"Huh- that's exactly what Andrew said." Ginny grinned.
"Said… to what?"
"It's… our own business. Well, Mr. Malfoy. Coffee's getting cold. It would be dreadful to miss our reservation." Ginny purred as she flung her purse over her shoulder, smacking Draco with it over the head, and followed Brad out the door.
Oh, the sweet world of sarcasm.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"HeEy Draco." The waitress fluttered her eyelashes about a million times in one second.
"Hey there. How you doing?"
"Fantastic, now that you're here." She playfully put her hand on his shoulder.
"Now now, Pearl. What have said about arousing me when I'm with a date?" Draco flashed his Hollywood smile. The shine in the waitress' eyes dropped but she almost did as well to his 'oh so g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s smile' as the Barbies said it. 'Pearl' glared at Ginny, practically threw a menu at her and stalked off.
"Don't you KNOW she's like completely flirting with you? She looks like she'll die of a heart-attack." Ginny whispered as the girl shrieked to her other waiting friends about how she got to talk to the Draco Malfoy.
"I know."
"You are such a conceited snob."
"Me? Are you talking to me?"
"Well who else is an arrogant JERK here?"
"Virtually everyone in this room I guess." Draco said, looking around. Ginny shot daggers at him with her evil eye. Draco smiled. "Except you of course, dear."
"I can see why. Just look at how over-priced these coffees are!"
"You're not buying, are you?"
"NO."
"I didn't think so. I mean, if you did, you'll probably just be losing your whole bank account… if you have one that is." Draco smirked.
"Okay, you know what? Those little crude money jokes are over now. I'm not a freaking 12 year old. They're not funny and they're not painful, okay?"
The waitress came back with perfect timing. "What would you like, babe?"
"I just need a nice cold frappuccino and this hot waitress standing in front of me." Draco winked.
A loud snort came out of Ginny. The two unbelievably flirty, useless, perverted leeches stared at her. As the waitress stalked off, waddling her butt everywhere, Draco leaned into Ginny's ear and whispered, "Miss Weasley, are you jealous?"
"Are you mocking me?" Ginny asked.
"NOOOOOOOOOO…" Draco said sarcastically.
"What should I be jealous of? That you had a waitress slobbering and drooling over you?"
"Oh, I never mentioned Pearl there now did I?"
"It was… implied." Ginny muttered before realizing what Draco Malfoy was doing.
Deja vue
Oh, that tricky tricky man.
Ginny grabbed her purse and got ready to leave when Draco's hand snapped down on her's.
"NOBODY has ever left Draco Malfoy. That night was the first. Don't make it happen again. Understand?"
Ginny snorted again. "Well, sir. I guess this will be your second, now, yes?" Ginny jerked her hand back and walked away from him again.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
