A/N: I'm back! Thanks for the reviews, it's pretty short, but I liked where it ended. So you know the drill, read, review, enjoy, whatevs.
New Note: Originally titled pretty damn good and neither was I
Sorry, the title is squished together, but I really really wanted it to be the title name. Cheers.
Disclaimer: I can claim nothing, the cute boy I had for a few hours seems to have wanted nothing more than a few hours. I don't even have any money to claim. Actually that's not true, I can claim all the change from my NYC trip.
"Why hello Weaselette, I didn't expect to see you here." He said crossing his arms over his chest.
Ginny raised an eyebrow, crossing her own arms across her chest. "I'm sure you didn't. Who were you just blackmailing?"
His smirk broadened and he said "Well, if I told you that, I'd have a difficult time blackmailing them wouldn't I?."
"Well, I'll just have to find out for myself won't I?" she said smartly with a smirk of her own.
She moved towards the door, but he blocked her way by moving there first. "You can't go in there Red."
"I most certainly can. Are you really going to stop me by blocking the doorway? In case you've forgotten, I am a witch, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Bat Bogey, now would you?" she said her smirk growing a bit more broad as Draco paled a bit.
"Yes, well, as lovely as that experience was, I'm asking you not to go in there."
Ginny raised her eyebrows, "Asking are we? Malfoy's never ask. This ought to be good. Tell me why and maybe I'll control my hexing hand."
Draco curled his lip irritatedly, unhappy with the fact that he was actually going to comply as Ginny grinned. "If the people inside know that you know, then I lose my leverage."
"That people in general know, or me specifically." She chirped brightly as she played with her wand between her fingers.
Draco watched her wand as he grit out annoyedly, very unhappy at the fact that he was listening to, and slightly afraid of the small redheaded before him, "You specifically."
"Ahh, so that must mean it's my brother getting reacquainted with Blaise. By knowing that, it means that you know about their little adventures, which means you were planning this get together, which means you had to have brought a friend, and since the friend is still inside, you brought a female with you. With that said, Pansy, Blaise, and Ronald are having a splendid time together behind those doors."
Knowing that she was correct when Draco's face turned from astonishment, to impressed before he smirked, she continued. "I knew it, excellent. What's phase two?"
Giving her a reassuring nod, like the ones parents give their children when they ramble on about some amazing discovery and the parent wants nothing more than for the child to "run along", Draco attempted to usher her away from the door in almost in the same manner as he said, "Now, Now, Red, let's not spoil the secret."
"What a pity," She said, as they started walking away from the Room of Requirement. "If I guess, will you tell me?"
He glanced at her as they walked before saying, "We'll see. Maybe, if you behave yourself."
Ginny gave a snort but then smirked. "Well, if phase one was getting them all together, phase two must be getting someone to walk in on them." She glanced at Draco who was smiling and shaking his head at her disbelievingly, but said nothing. "That means, assuming my assumptions are correct, which it is, that there are three people in this school that you could possibly want to upset with this information. Harry, Lavender and Hermione, how am I doing so far?" Draco said nothing, but smirked. "Excellent, so it's not Hermione because you'd do something horrific at HQ besides which if Hermione knew Blaise was seducing Ronald, she'd have a canary and quit the paper. It's not Harry because Blaise would have told you that Harry knows from his first endeavor with Ronald at my house, which means it is Lavender. How's that? Am I good?" she said, already knowing she was triumphant in guessing correctly.
He looked at her, the smirk never leaving his face as they got closer to the Gryffindor tower. "Yes, yes Red, you were good, now let's get your pretty little head through the portrait and into bed where we'll pretend you know nothing of tonight's little adventure, yeah?"
Ginny's smirk broadened before she said with a teasing look. "Did I just hear a Malfoy admit that a Weasley was pretty, and good?"
Draco rolled his eyes as a smile fought to stay hidden. "Maybe, but it's highly possible you are delusional as you decided to live with a Malfoy, willingly, for a good part of the summer."
"It's highly possible but quite improbable."
"I see."
"Speaking of which," she began as they neared the portrait of the Fat Lady. "When are we going to finish this portrait business? I still have to paint that portrait of you. You'd think after spending all that time in your house, and finishing the other three, you'd have let me finish the last one instead of dragging it all out."
As they reached the portrait, Draco put his hand on her back ushering her towards the portrait. "All in due time Weaselette, all in good time."
Ginny turned her head towards Draco with a frown, and said "why?"
Draco turned and stepped in front of Ginny, her back to the portrait, his chest mere centimeters from hers. He looked down into her brown eyes as she once again met his stormy grey ones with her own. "That's my secret. You'll have to figure that one out on your own as well," he said as he walked away.
Ginny looked at his retreating back and said, "I wasn't talking about Ron."
He turned back with a smirk, before continuing on his way, "Neither was I Freckles, neither was I."
