Chapter 3 (So boys DO have Brains…)
Malfoy slimed his way over to Gin at lunch, "Tell Potter I said sorry." Gins looked dimly at him, waiting for him to say something, "Well, aren't you going to say it?" "Say what?" Malfoy shot back. "That you're sorry?" Gin replied. "You don't honesty think you can get me to say it twice, do you?" the fact that his eye was a bit bruised, and his lip was bleeding made Gin laugh. Malfoy stormed away; quickly Gin 'accidentally' dropped her crutch. Brilliantly Malfoy tripped over it and went sailing across the room and landed smack on the hard concrete floor.
The lunchroom grew very quiet and all stared at Malfoy wondering what he would do next. He angrily pulled himself up, and stomped his way back to Gin 'Brilliant Gin, bloody brilliant.' she muttered to herself. As Malfoy whipped out his wand, half of her felt a rush of excitement she loved a challenge. He was pretty close to her, his wand pointed straight at her heart. She very calmly gathered up her crutches stood up and faced Malfoy, she sensed Harry appeared behind her, but she didn't turn around she kept her eyes locked on Malfoy. Nothing happened, nobody moved.
"Well, I'm waiting, are you afraid that you'll be beaten by a GIRL, with crutches?" Gin teased him. "Watch it", he mumbled threateningly. She dropped a crutch, which made her unbalanced she fell, catching Malfoy off guard. She took advantage of the opportunity. Using one of her crutches from the floor she knock Malfoy's wand out of his hand, somehow Harry caught it. Malfoy was about to crush her without his wand when she pushed hard on the heavy end of her crutch it flew up, hitting Malfoy in the stomach as he was walking forward, "Oww!" He fell down, she got up, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of my kitchen." And with that she grabbed her crutches and hobbled off. Harry followed her, and whispered in her ear, "Wow, I'd like to see what you could do with your wand." "Please, I wanted to humiliate him, not throw him a funeral", she grinned. Harry seemed to be looking at her differently all of a sudden, he grinned back.
"Hey I heard Madam Pomphery is back", Harry said. "What NOW all of a sudden he is helpful?", Gin thought, "Shut up and be grateful." "Thanks." She looked deep into his green eyes, so honest. "Gin… I've been thinking, I know you're a bit younger and everything, but…", Harry stumbled, suddenly unsure of his words. "I'm not THAT much younger…", thought Gin, she then glared at herself. "But, I kind of….Fancy you and…", the answer he wanted to hear, well he could see it in her eyes. "I LOVE YOU!", she half wanted to scream, he eyes said it all. "Well, would you like to go…erm…Out sometime?", Harry looked relieved to have finally said it. Without thinking Ginny dropped her crutches and hugged him, "BOYS DO HAVE BRAINS I KNEW IT!" "Umm, ok, is that a yes?" Harry looked a bit uncomfortable. "Do frogs fly?" Ginny could no longer control her mouth. "Um no." said a VERY confused Harry. "Never mind Yes!" It was then Ginny realized that she'd dropped her crutches, she almost fell over, Harry caught her laughing a bit, "I think I'll carry you, don't want you to twist your other ankle…" Ginny needed no more prompting, she levitated her crutches, and snuggled herself into Harry's arms. Sometimes it felt good to be a girl, and even better to be a witch, but best when you were all the above and had a boyfriend.
