A Darker Shade of Red

Morning After

"...I've been meaning to tell you

I've got this feelin' that won't subside

I look at you and I fantasize

You're mine tonight

Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at you and I can't disguise

I've got hungry eyes

I feel the magic between you and I... "

Ginevra was singing into her toothbrush as the old song played on her muggle radio. That was sort of how she was feeling after last night, sitting so close to a naked and rather built Draco Malfoy.

"C'mon, Gin, BREAKFAST!" Cole exclaimed.

Gin giggled and rinsed out her mouth before following Cole and T.J. downstairs, still in her 'Virgin Records' t-shirt and blue jean cut-offs. Of course, the t-shirt had 'VIRGIN' printed in large bold red letters acrossed her chest. Cole was quite amused. T.J. was in a baggy black t-shirt with 'Flitwick's Honey' printed on it in white and baggy black pants with a potions bottle on the bottom of the right leg. Cole, herself, wore a clinging, satin lilac night gown that ended just above her knees.

As they entered the kitchen, Ron started to choke on his bacon. Bill hit him on the back while gawking. Granger giggled and Harry had joined in the gawking.

"Mmmm bacon." Cole commented, taking the empty seat between Ron and Charlie.

Gin took Charlie's other side and T.J. was next to her.

"Morning all." Gin said off-handedly, "Potter. Granger. Ron."

Cole smiled and stuffed a peice of bacon in her mouth.

"What are you looking at, Carrot top?" she asked as Ron started to gawk, "Keep looking. Makes you easier to hit."

He actually looked up. Nicole glared at him before slamming her open palm into his cheek, leaving a throbbing white hand print.

"THAT IS IT!" came the shriek of Mrs. Weasley.

"Whoa, we've only been here, like, two days and we've already reached the 'it' point?" Cole inquired, leaning over Charlie it look at T.J. and Gin.

"Wicked." T.J. said, high-fiving Cole and Gin.

"A new record." Gin said.

"ARGH! GET OUT! OUT OUT OUT!" Molly screamed, "YOU HAVE NO MANNERS; YOU'RE RUDE; YOU DRESS LIKE SCARLET WOMEN-"

"We have no home-training; We're perverted; We crack jokes at the most inoppertune moments; We're DIFFERENT!" Gin countered, "And, fine. We'll leave."

Ginevra stood, very serious about her words. T.J. followed her out and then was when Cole stood.

"Goodbye everybody, and thank you Mrs. Weasley for a lovely two days!" she called, exiting with a sway of her hips.

"Can you BELIEVE that woman? Kicking us out in the freezing cold!"

"Yeah, Gin pass the butterbeer." Laura said. She smiled upon receiving the glass bottle. "Thankies."

The four girls had returned to Hogwarts early, seeing as the castle just wasn't the same without them. And seeing as Nicole wanted boys, they'd brought Blaise, Tracey, Greg, and Draco along.

"You should ask her out." Draco said, tactless.

"What? Who?" Greg's head shot up from his palm where he'd been day-dreaming.

The blonde sighed, exasperated. "Nicole."

"Oh. I don't think so. She wouldn't wanna go at with me."

"She's hugs on you and sits on your lap and you think she doesn't like you!" he exclaimed, "Are you daft!"

Greg rolled his eyes. "No, Mr. Rodent, I am not daft. I'm jus-"

"Greg?"

He looked up to see her standing there. She was still wearing that lilac night gown from this morning.

"You wanna go to Hogsmeade with me to pick up some stuff?" she asked.

"Sure, I guess."

As the two made their way out Draco moved to sit next to Gin and T.J. moved to Tracey. Laura and Blaise were already side-by-side.

"Hey, Drake." she said, a smile on her delicate features, "Like my shirt?"

Honestly, Draco hadn't really noticed it. He sniggered. "Well, at least you're honest." he said.

She smirked and placed a chaste kiss on the tip of his nose. "Cute, ferret-boy, really cute."

He wrinkled his nose and grinned. "Malfoys aren't cute."

"No, that's normal Malfoys, that has not a damned thing to do with you, dearest Captain Peroxide."

"Shut up, Weasley." he said playfully.

"Make me, Malfoy." she replied, just as playfully.

Well. She did say to shut her up...

The teen snaked his hand around to the base of her skull and pressed his mouth right over her own in a kiss.

"Thank God!" T.J. exclaimed upon seeing Draco kiss Gin, "I was about to choke on all the sexual tension around here!"

Tracey snorted at that and Blaise grinned. Laura started to snicker from her place next to Blaise.

"So what are we picking up?" he asked when they reached the Hogsmeade grounds.

"Oh, anything really, I just needed to get away from all that tension of the sexual genre." Cole replied absently.

"Aaah. I see."

There was a sigh and Greg glanced at her. "What's wrong?" he asked.

She stopped walking and side-glanced at him, pressing her chin-length bangs behind her ear. "You just don't get it, do you, Greg?"

He quirked an eyebrow at her. "Get what?"

Nicole grabbed the sides of his face and pressed her lips on his in a firm but soft kiss.

Oh. was the only thought going through Gregory Goyle's head at the moment.

"Still with the snogage. You'd think the two were attatched at the tonsels by the looks of them." Laura snickered.

"Oh, good Merlin!" was the distincive shriek of one Minerva McGonagall.

Flitwick simply smiled and Snape's face held a knowing grin/smirk. Which was kind of creepy looking on old Snippy Snape's pale face.

"Please, Mr. Malfoy, Miss Weasley, contain yourselves." insisted McGonagall.

Slightly flushed, Gin pulled out of the kiss and stood, quickly making her way out of the Hall. Soon enough, Laura and T.J. followed, sending glares to the professors at the Staff Table. Minus Flitwick and Snape, of course.

"Baise vous, vous ane stupide." she muttered crossly.

Ginevra hadn't been very pleased when the professors decidedly interuppted she and Draco's snoggage session. Neither had the other two girls, seeing as it was such a Kodak moment.

"What did you say, Gin?" Laura asked.

"Nothing."
