A/N - Same as usual. Don't be mean. I really want to finish this fic... this one's crap, whereas the sequel is guuuuuurd. :P
DISCLAIMER - I don't own the Potterverse, so no suey!
Chapter 3
Malfoy stumbled backwards out of Ginny's way. No girl had ever been able to resist 'the stare'
'Oh, no,' she thought. 'It's happening again. He's putting me on a guilt trip.'
"Draco," she started.
"Never mind. It doesn't matter." he picked himself up and stalked off, thinking of another way to get at 'Potter'.
"Draco! Wait! I'll change houses! Just don't hurt Harry! Please?" she cried. Draco wasn't listening. He'd only wanted to get at Potter from the start.
"Dammit!" she shouted as she followed him.
Back in Gryffindor Tower, Teagan walked up to Ron, "What've we got next then?" she said, smiling.
"This..." he said, smiling, and kissed her again.
Teagan blushed and kissed him back. "Really, what have we got next?" Teagan said, managing to tear her lips away from Ron's.
"Transfiguration." he answered her.
"Oh cool. But doesn't that mean I need a wand?"
"It's alright...we've got an hour or so before it starts so we can go out and buy you one... alone..."
Teagan giggled at the thought, "We'd better get going then."
"Go get your cloak then...I'll be there in a minute."
Teagan wandered to her dormitory and grabbed her purple travelling cloak.
When Ron came back downstairs, he saw Teagan in her cloak. "That looks really pretty on you. Come on."
Teagan smiled and followed Ron.
When they got to Ollivanders, Ron went in and rang the bell. "Mr Ollivander? Hi, my friend here needs a wand."
"Ah, yes, Miss Teagan I think. Pray tell me, which is your wand arm?"
"Well, I'm right handed." Teagan said, a little unsure.
"Right..." he murmured, rummaging in the back for various wands. "Ah, here we are...Holly and Dragon Heartstring, 11 inches..."
Teagan waved it. Nothing happened.
"Nope, no, that'll never do... try this, Ash and Phoenix feather, 9 1/2 inches."
Teagan waved it, but still nothing happened.
"Hmm..." he said. "I wonder...Here, try this one. Willow and Dragon Heartstring, 8 1/4 inches..."
Teagan waved it and a brilliant collection of golden sparks formed the shape of a heart in front of Ron.
"Wonderful!" Mr Ollivander cried as Ron turned red. "That'll be 10 Galleons and 7 Sickles
please..."
"Uh...I'll get it." said Ron.
"Thanks."
"Come on then," said Ron. "We'd better get back to school. Unless...you'd like to stay a bit longer?" he said with a wicked glint in his eye.
"Why not? We still have plenty of time before Transfiguration." Teagan said.
"This way," Ron said, leading her into a secluded alleyway.
Teagan followed Ron, still smiling.
Ron backed her against the wall, looked into her eyes for a few moments, and then caught her mouth in a kiss.
Teagan didn't fight it, she simply surrendered to what she considered fate.
Ron was sincerely enjoying this. "I'm so glad you came." he said.
"So am I."
Ron chuckled. He kissed her one last time before saying that they'd better get back to school.
Teagan nodded in agreement and sauntered out of the alleyway.
Ginny was worried. Worried about what Draco would do to Harry now. 'Wait a minute...is that
him? Yes! Yes it is!'
"DRACO! Draco! Wait there!"
Draco ignored Ginny, instead talking to Crabbe and Goyle. Meanwhile, Teagan headed for
Transfiguration with Ron, smiling all the way.
'Why is he ignoring me?' Ginny thought. She walked off to Transfiguration.
"So, I guess we'll be transforming stuff then. I tried that once. When I was little I thought I
could turn a stone into a rabbit. It didn't work, but I did manage to lift it without touching it." Teagan said to Ron.
"Cool," he said, curling his arm around her waist. "Transfiguration's this way."
Teagan giggled and followed where she was being led.
Ron lead her to Professor McGonagall's classroom, and lined up outside. Harry was already there. He was feeling jealous that Ron had got Teagan. He knew he had Ginny, but that didn't take his mind off the fact that Ron had snogged her before he could have done.
Teagan was still giggling at the memory of what they'd done in the alley. It'd felt right, as if there was no escaping it anyway.
Harry was seething. He quickly changed his expression when Ginny came and stood next to him. "Hey."
"Hi Ginny."
"Hiya Teagan." said Ginny.
"So, how were things while I and Ron were out?"
"They were... alright..." raising her eyebrows so that she wouldn't have to say in front of Harry.
"I'll tell ya about it later." she whispered.
"Ok."
"Good Morning Students." said Professor McGonagall.
"Good Morning Professor." Teagan said, sitting next to Ron before he could even sit down.
"Today, students, we will be learning how to change stones into rabbits. Wands out please."
"Cool! I've always wanted to do this." Teagan said, whipping out her wand.
Ginny looked down distractedly. A note had been flicked onto her desk. 'Who was it from?' she thought. 'Was it from Malfoy? Yes...it was.'
Teagan was concentrating almost fully on trying to turn her stone into a rabbit.
Ginny was scribbling fast on the note. She then got out her wand and tried to do the set task.
Hermione, who was sitting next to her, had already done it, and was whispering hints to her.
Teagan managed to turn the rock into a rabbit, but it was quite a heavy rabbit and it was a greyish colour.
With Hermione's help, Ginny had managed to turn her rock into a rabbit, but was itching to ask Teagan something. She decided to write her a note.
'Dear Teag, ' it read. 'Malfoy sent me this note. What d'you reckon?
Ginny, I hope you haven't forgotten what happened down in the dungeons earlier today, I meant what I said. Not just about Harry, but about you as well. Please come. Please. I'll make it worth your while.
HELP!'
Teagan read the note and scrawled upon the other side 'Don't trust him. Just ignore him
completely. If he tries to hurt Harry, just hex him or something.' she made it into a paper aeroplane and enchanted it to land in front of Ginny.
'But I can't help it...it's like he's got me under a spell or someth - oh help he's sent another one...'
'Think about what it'd do to Harry if he knew. It'll help, honest.'
'I know...but d'you reckon I should tell Harry what I'm doing? Malfoy just asked me to join him
in the dungeons for a little 'Session'.'
'Don't tell Harry and try to avoid the dungeons as much as possible. You have to stop doing this.'
'I can't help it...Hang on...I've got an idea.'
"Professor? Please may I go to the bathroom?" asked Ginny
Teagan knew this was some sort of plan Ginny had. She smiled and returned her attention to the two rabbits hopping around on the desk. Hers and Ron's.
Instead of going to the bathroom, Ginny went down to the dungeons. "OK...he should be asking Professor now." she murmured.
"Professor, please can I go to the bathroom?" Draco said in his usual pompous way. He rushed out of the classroom, racing down to the dungeons.
"Very well...and don't dawdle." said McGonagall, but he'd already gone.
Ginny stood still as she heard someone coming down the steps. She slunk back into the shadows in case it was a teacher.
