Happy Reading!
Peeves floated above her head teasing her about her hair.
"Carrot top carrot top!" he chanted over and over again constantly and blowing raspberries at her.
"Shut up Peeves!" Ginny Weasley cried, "I will kill you, I swear!" Angry at the poltergeist's taunting, Ginny drew her wand from her robes. "Stupefy!" A bright green jet erupted from Ginny's wand and hit the little man in the face. He gave a loud shriek and fell to the floor. "Ha! Serves you right!"
"Aarrrrrghh….hehehe hehehehehehehehehehehe" Peeves's mad cries distorted itself into shrill girlish giggles, then his voice altered from a pesky squeak into a deep tenor tone. "HEEHEHEHEOHOHOHOHOHO!"
"What the-" Ginny took a step back from laughing figure on the floor that seemed to be growing bigger with in seconds. "Holy-!"
Ginny yelled as a woman with wide shoulders and in 6in. heels rose up above her from where Peeves was laying.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Miss Vicky said, shaking a bony finger with long red nails at the gawking girl. "Be more like your brother Ginny. BE MORE LIKE YOUR BROTHER!"
The professor gave war cry and raced at Ginny.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ginny screamed and ran for her life. She sprinted down the corridor, panting hard, hearing the footsteps behind her catching up. Colin Creevy appeared before her holding his camera grinning like a maniac.
"Ginnnnnnny! Sweetie, can I take your picture?"
"Colin! Run! Run!" Ginny screamed at him. "Why are you just standing there? Vicky's going to kill!"
"No, it's okay, I'm late for Ron's tea party!" Colin said and skipped off. Ginny watched as he disappeared and continued her running.
She ran passed Dumbledore dressed in a rabbit suit, drinking tea with Professor McGonagall. Then there was Snape and Neville doing ballet. After a while, Ginny wasn't even sure why she was running at all. She stopped in front of an elevator with vast golden doors.
That's odd…since when did Hogwarts have a lift?
She approached it carefully and suddenly she heard a rumpling sound. The great doors of the elevator broke and out came Pumpkin Juice, pouring like waves, crashing against the walls. Ginny yelped. She didn't know what to do. This was the end and she hasn't even seen her grandchildren yet. Closing her eyes, she was ready to embrace the runny sweetness of death.
Distant hooves broke through the loud crashing waves. Surprised, Ginny looked up to see what it was but found herself being lifted up into the air by a pair of strong arms. She felt like she was flying…it was somewhat…pleasant. The arms brought her up on to a horseback and galloped her to the Gryffindor Tower, saving her from a watery grave.
Ginny jumped off the horse and found herself facing a man in dressed in armor.
"Erm…thanks…" Ginny managed to say.
"Thou art most indeed welcome fair lady with hair like the fresh carrots in the morning of spring." The knight said.
"Um…ok…" Ginny said uncertainly, she wasn't really sure if it was a compliment or not. "Who are you?"
The knight didn't reply this time. Instead, he got off his horse and walked towards Ginny, his shiny armor clinking.
"Um…yeah…never mind then…" Ginny laughed nervously, wishing the man would back away a little. The knight stopped until he was only a matter of an inch away from her and took off his helmet. Ginny's eyes grew wide.
However, before the Gryffindor could utter the name of her savior, the knight pressed his lips hard against hers. Ginny tried to struggle but found herself liking the kiss.
This is rather…nice…
"BLOODY HELL!" Ginny Weasley screamed and fell off her bed with a loud thud. She lay there panting hard. People in the other beds stirred awake.
It was a dream…just a stupid stupid dream…goodness, I gotta stop eating before I go to bed… Ginny sighed. She was relieved…yet somehow she was also a bit disappointed. The intimate kiss felt so real. His cool lips against hers…
"Ginny are you alright?" a voice called out in the darkness of the night.
"Er…yeah…I'm fine, just a nightmare you know. Go back to sleep." Ginny said while trying to untangle herself from the bed sheets.
"'K…" the person murmured and fell back to her bed.
Ginny sighed again and crawled back to her covers. As the room filled itself with silent snores and heavy breathing, Ginny still found herself wide-awake. That dream was so vivid, so definite…and that kiss. She ran her finger down her lips…Oh how she can remember it so well.
NOOO!
Burying her face into her pillow Ginny screamed into the dead of the night.
BUT WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE DRACO MALFOY?
Draco Malfoy tipped his goblet to his mouth. It was Saturday and it was day Ginny Weasley would be serving her detention. Draco felt his lips pull into a sneer. Yes, he had gotten the Gryffindor's reply and he was delighted that the youngest Weasley would play along. Well…we shall just see would win in the end…his silver tinted eyes brightened and he popped a grape into his mouth.
"Ginny isn't your detention with Malfoy's today?" Olivia Blade asked putting down her goblet of pumpkin juice.
"Er…yeah…" Ginny said uneasily, the dream flashing before her eyes.
"OOOooooooo!" Parvati squealed her eyes shone with delight. "Oh how I wish I could be you."
"You know…you could," Ginny said and frowned then her expression turned serious. "We just need to snag one of the ministry's time turner and turn back time. Then we can brew the Polyjuice Potion…"
"Oh, Ginny you can't be serious!" Olivia said, giving the red head a weird look like she's completely out of her head.
"I am willing to try anything to not go to this detention." Ginny said and heaved a great sigh. She threw her bag over her shoulders and stood up preparing to leave the Great Hall "I'm going back to the common room to see if I can do any homework before I have to meet up with Malfoy, see you later."
"Bye then." Olivia said and waved at Ginny, her eyes however wondered towards the Slytherin table, but Ginny was already out the door to notice this.
Ginny walked down the fire lit corridors, dreading at what she was about to face at nine o'clock sharp. She would have been able to handle it if she didn't have that blasted dream. Now, she can't even look at that smirking git without blushing like Ron.
Why me…
As Ginny walked passed the boy's lavatory, a large figure emerged behind the door. Miss Vicky stuck her head out and looked both ways, completely unaware of Ginny standing behind her gawking.
"H-hello Miss Vicky…" Ginny said and pressed her mouth together so she won't burst out laughing.
"Huh?" the woman choked and jumped about a feet into the air. Turning around to face Ginny, she almost tripped over her heels. "Oh…Hullo, I was just coming out of the bathroom Miss Weasley…as you can see…" she said fretfully in her deep voice. Ginny tired hard to hold back her laughter.
"Oh, I can definitely see that professor, but um…may I just point out that the restroom you went in was the boy's lavatory?" Ginny said and smiled innocently.
"Oh! Oh my! I made a huge mistake, hohohohoho, silly me!" Miss Vicky said, looking as flustered as ever.
"I'm sure we all make mistakes professor." Ginny said, still smiling.
"Yes, yes, of course, now I must get back to dinner, good evening to you Miss Weasley." The woman said and literally ran down the hall with her high heels echoing down the empty corridor. Ginny merely stared after the woman in wonder.
What the hell is Miss Vicky doing in the boy's bathroom? I always thought she was a bit…odd, but sneaking into the boy's toilet? Dumbledore needs to learn how to get ordinary teachers, ones that won't cost the students any harm.
Shaking her head and suppressing a snicker, Ginny walked back to the Gryffindor tower almost forgetting her own future doom.
"You're late Weasley."
"Only for a minute."
"I told you at exactly nine o' clock weasel. Or maybe you can't read."
"Sodd off."
An angry Gryffindor stared crossly back at a leering Slytherin.
"I would watch myself if I was you Weasley. Wouldn't want to land yourself into more trouble would you now?" Draco Malfoy said smirking. Ginny snorted.
"So what are you going to do now huh?" Ginny said questionably with a raised eyebrow. "Give me more detentions? Isn't that all you can do?"
"We can see about that…" the Slytherin said leaning closer to Ginny. Her face suddenly turned bright red and she back away quickly.
"Fine, where do you want me to start." Ginny said swiftly and turned towards the bookcases full of heavy volumes. Draco smirked at Ginny's blushing face.
Do I scare her?
He walked closer to her and pointed to the farthest case. "That one Weasley. Organize all the books in alphabetical order, and we will be done for the night."
"All right." Ginny said grimly and reached for her wand in her robes.
"No Weasley, you can't use your wand." Draco said, waiting for Ginny to protest. But she didn't.
"Fine." She said coldly and marched to the bookcase.
What's wrong with her today?
Are you disappointed?
Not you again.
Yes, it's me, now are you disappointed.
Yeah…I am…
Draco didn't see the point of lying to himself. He was rather dissatisfied with the Weasley's different behavior.
Why isn't she arguing back with me?
He turned towards the doorway as he heard a small clinking noise and saw a flash of robes.
Corner?
Crud, why does Malfoy have to look so good tonight? Ginny thought bitterly as she sneaked a peek at the ice blonde Slytherin leaning leisurely in his chair, reading a heavy leather back book.
No! Focus on books Ginny, on the books, lets see, A,B,C,D,E,F…argh I still have tons more to do! Stupid prat…thinks he own the world, dictator…
Yeah, you think he's hot don't you.
Yes I do and there is no point of denying myself.
What are you going to do about it?
I'm going to shelf books and get the hell out of here because I'm scaring myself.
Sounds like a fine plan.
As midnight came, Ginny Weasley finally finished her task. Getting up from her sitting position after putting the last book in place, she walked hesitantly to her "supervisor."
"I'm done Malfoy." She said trying to sound as cold as possible, "Good night then."
"Why was Corner following you." The Slytherin said half-heartly, his nose still in his book.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me, why was Corner following you?" he said again.
"I didn't know he was…"
"He has been for a while." Draco said finally putting his book down and rose from his seat.
"You were watching me?" Ginny said, alerted at the fact that she might be having two stalkers.
"Like I have the time of the day." Draco said unemotionally though a bit rushed.
"Oh really, I believe that."
Both found themselves staring irritably at each other again. Then there was a long pause. Ginny turned to leave but the Slytherin stopped her again.
"I'm coming with you." He said. Ginny raised her eyebrows.
"No need Malfoy, I think I can take care of myself."
"Who said I'm walking you? Don't flatter yourself Weasley."
"Sumbag…" Ginny whispered and walked out of the Library with Draco Malfoy following closely behind her.
Just as Draco suspected, when they turned the corner of the corridor, Michael Corner stepped out of the shadows.
"Ginny, I need to talk to you." He said, and then realized that an unwanted Slytherin was behind Ginny. Taken back he stuck something into his robes. "Maybe another time then…" He then said hurriedly and sauntered away before Ginny could answer.
Draco stared after the Ravenclaw boy in disgust. The blasted coward…
"You knew!" Ginny suddenly said, wiping around to facing a surprised Slytherin.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Draco simply said and continued walking in long strides but the red head quickly caught up with him.
"You knew that Corner was going to be here! Don't act stupid! I saw him tuck away his wand too!" Ginny shouted angrily.
"So what?"
"I don't need your help."
"I wasn't helping."
"Yes you were!" Ginny said furiously. How dare he fight my battle for me? I could have blasted that idiot's head off for trying to hex me.
"I'm sorry if I ruined your chance to hurt your little lover, I promise I wont do it next time."
Draco was getting irritated. He only wanted to help, for the first time in his life, but he wasn't "supposed" to. He snarled angrily.
"He isn't my lover! Argh! You jerk!" Ginny yelled, perturbed and turned to go to bed.
"OH! I'm sorry, my mistake, he must have left you because if you haven't noticed, you have a horrible tamper." Draco said, his cool gray eyes flashing dangerously.
"That isn't why."
"Oh yeah, I remember, a little bird once told me that you were as sloppy as Longbottom! Get some kissing lessons Weasley. That must be why he left you, you don't expect Weasleys to be good at anything." Draco said loudly. Seeing the angry expression on Ginny's face, he felt a distant satisfaction stir in his stomach, but he soon will realize he said the wrong thing.
Ginny slowly approached him until they were about a foot away. Draco sneered, though it didn't show as much confident as it used to.
"Me, a terrible kisser? That is the dumbest lie you have ever made up."
"Really, and how are you going to prove that?"
It was Ginny's turn to smirk. Comprehending what she was about to do, the Slytherin's eye grew wide, and was about to complain when Ginny pushed him against wall and covered his mouth with hers.
Oh boy, was he ever wrong.
