2. Stalk Draco Malfoy
Ginny was having no luck. She had systematically searched the entire third floor and second and nothing. Oh she found Harry alright, snogging Cho. After calling him every name she could think of to the tittering of Cho, who she then turned on, Ginny was bored again.
She leaned against a pillar and wished her brothers had seen fit to will her the Marauders Map. After all the times she had helped those rascals.
One might be wondering how Ginny is passing all her classes when she appears to possess ADHD, but the simple matter was, Ginny was a tutor. She had the ability to become almost obsessively attentive in class, but if left to her own matters, Ginny would and could wreak havoc. The teachers seemed to sense this and gave her the most troublesome of students to tutor. Ginny then attacked the assignment with single minded ferocity. The hapless student, usually a Slytherin or Hufflepuff, would either be terrorized into submission or find a newfound respect for the vicious red head.
Ginny caught a glimpse of blond from one eye and grinned with feral intent.
Sneaking around the pillar, Ginny proceeded to stalk her prey.
Hermione laughed causally at something Dennis Creevey said as his brother clung to her arm. Flirting openly with other guys in Ron's presence didn't seem to be working, but Dennis and Colin were fun regardless.
She was just beginning to truly enjoy herself, when a certain red head rounded the corner.
Ron stared at Hermione. First her hair was short. Not that Ron was complaining, some how the shortness of it seemed to accentuated her graceful neck and fair face. Secondly, she was with Colin and Dennis Creevey, two of the biggest flirts in the school. They'd had more girlfriends than all the Weasley kin put together. And if you knew Charlie and Bill's records, that was quite a bit.
"Hermione! What happened to your hair? And why are you with them?"
Hermione absently tucked a wayward strand of hair behind her ear. She was wearing a white tank top with a knee length red skirt with a red ribbon tied around her graceful neck. Ron felt himself melting. He forced himself to focus. He was supposed to be mad at her. Why? Oh right, cause she was with Dennis and Colin.
Dennis and Colin broke off, according to plan.
Ron seized the moment and snatched Hermione from them, absently putting his arm protectively around her. Hermione sent the boys a V for victory.
Dennis opened his mouth, also according to plan. "Maybe Hermione wants to spend time with us."
"Hermione has that right." Ron snarled, knowing he'd get no where with some sort of chauvinistic remark. Hermione looked at him in surprise.
"She also has the right to be my girlfriend." He growled.
Hermione felt a strange elation overcome her. Was Ron asking her out?
The Creevey boys also grinned, Dennis opening his mouth to express some opinion.
And from the shadows came Ginny.
One moment there was nothing but blank space behind Dennis, and the next Ginny was looming over the small boy she had once tutored in History of Magic, claws out stretched. She grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back sharply, a look of demonic glee on her face.
The happy face fell into a snarl as she realized she had erred in her prey. She sighed and righted the boy. She dusted him off and disappeared once more into the shadows.
Dennis fainted. Colin looked shell shocked. Hermione realized Ron was missing and felt a hand on her shoulder. "Is she gone?"
Hermione sighed. "Yes, Ron."
Ron stood up from where he had hidden behind her. "Ginny's scary."
Hermione looked at the place where the other red head had disappeared to. "I'm beginning to catch that."
Ron put his arm around Hermione once more. "Just try living with her."
