Chapter 15: Not a total Ferret
"Only two more days before we all head off for Christmas brake isn't it exciting Mione?" Ginny asked Hermione, who was busy cleaning her room at the moment but she was listening to her
She could have used magic to clean her room in an instant, but her parents being
Muggle-born, she had grown used to the normal way of not using magic to do everything, that's how her parents raised her, who were apparently dentists
"Yeah Ginn, totally…" Hermione added whipping the window's glass, wearing a white sleeveless shirt covered with a bit of dust, old pair of jeans and an old apron
"I can see your not that excited Mione, I am going to miss you, we won't get to see each other for how many weeks till the brake's over…" Ginny said sounding a bit sad,
Not being to see your best friend during Christmas break is a hard thing to go through, it's suppose to be a time for all your friends and family to be together
"It's okay Ginn…" Hermione said coming closer to where Ginny stood and hugged her, she didn't mind that she was a bit dirty from all her cleaning
"I'll see you later Mione, I have to go to Hogsmeade, explore some restaurants for the party…" Ginny said stepping out of the room
"Who you going with? Mr. Ferret?" Hermione teased from her room
"Ha-ha Mione, stop it before someone hears you…but that still doesn't change the fact that his a total ferret!" Ginny yelled from across her room
Glad she's got plans, Hermione thought to herself, going back to her cleaning
----------
Ginny was getting ready for her little trip to Hogsmeade with Draco, it wasn't a date or anything it was just a thing they needed to do for the dance, and since they weren't going to see each other during the break they decided it was better to do it now
She prepared the clothes she was going to wear and since it was snowing outside she couldn't wear anything besides something that would keep her body from turning into ice
She placed her hair in a neat pony tail, placing a bit of lip gloss and the perfume Hermione had given her for her 16th birthday last year, she only used it for special occasions at times, this was not an occasion! Just a walk in town she thought to herself
"Hey Ginn…someone's out the door for you…" Hermione knocked from the outside
That's probably the ferret himself now, Ginny thought to herself, heading for the door, giving Hermione a flying kiss before she left
When she opened the door she immediately saw the one and only Draco Malfoy
Who she admitted didn't look as half bad as she thought he would for a Malfoy,
"Took you long enough Weasel…" he teased, leaning on the wall just out the door
"What? You kept track of time or something?" she asked him looking at him surprisingly
"No, of course not…" Draco replied trying to keep cool
"Okay fine, if we want to finish this before the end of the break we better just try to get along, shall we?" Ginny suggested looking at him straight in the eye
"Fine, but am not even going to try to like it…" Draco said grinning at her
"Who says you have to?" Ginny added poking his chest,
They walked together heading out to Hogsmeade pushing their way through the cold, hard snow; the ground was completely covered with it,
Ginny slipped hitting the snow on her face, she thought Draco was laughing his head out but to her surprise didn't but instead reached his hand to hers, trying to help her up
"Here let me help you up…" Draco said as he extended his hand for her to take
"Draco?" Ginny asked, shocked at Draco for wanting to help her suddenly still sitting on the ground
"Do you want my help or not Weasel?" Draco asked giving her one of his evil stares
Ginny thought he was being polite for once but she hated herself for even thinking for one second Draco could be nice,
He was a Malfoy and always will be, she stood up by herself and ignored his hand, and just walked by pass him
"You know weasel, I was only trying to help…" Draco said as he tried catching up to her,
"I don't need your help Malfoy!" Ginny said in a very annoyed tone, still ignoring him, as she continued walking, he pulled her to make her stop
"What are you doing ferret?" Ginny yelled at him, he held her tight
"Better to stop struggling weasel cause it's no use…" Draco said tightening his grip a little more until she stopped
"What is your problem?" she yelled at him, looking deeply at his grey eyes
"Look, am sorry, I can't help it, I am a Malfoy, that's how my father always taught me to treat your kind…" Draco said with sincerity in his eyes for once and Ginny noticed it right away
"Yeah right…being a Malfoy must be a tough thing to handle…" she said trying to understand him somehow
"Thanks…" Draco said letting go of her, starting to walk ahead of her, placing his hands in his pocket as he did so
"Draco, wait!" Ginny said catching up with him, "Am always hear if you need someone to talk to…" Ginny suddenly said not knowing why she said that in the first place,
But she knew Draco was only a misunderstood person, and she understood him because she faces the same thing with her family, being the only girl among her brothers
He didn't say anything, he tried forcing a smile, and they walked saying nothing until they arrived at Hogsmeade
"We better get to work…" Draco finally said heading towards one of the famous restaurants in Hogsmeade, and she followed him in
When they came in it was crowded, every waiter and waitress were rushing to take orders, as man stood in front of them in a fancy tuxedo
"Hello! Good day! Welcome! Mr. Malfoy! Are you here to check on the food for the catering for your school's dance?"
"Yes precisely…" Draco replied, being all high and mighty
Ginny was surprised he even knew Draco the moment they came in, was he that popular around here? She asked herself
"Okay then, please take a sit while we prepare the food for the taste test…" he said, heading for the kitchen
They took a sit on one of the side of the room that was less filled with people,
"This is a pretty fancy restaurant, and can we afford all of this?" Ginny asked,
Looking at the surroundings of the restaurant filled with famous paintings and expensive vases, chandeliers all around
"Well, you can't but I surely can…" Draco bragging, it was true, he could afford anything he wanted to, and it hurt her that he said she couldn't afford much of anything just because she was a Weasley and not as rich as he was
"Well, Mr. Malfoy, am sorry we all can't be like you…" Ginny said as she stood up from the table, banging it as she did so, Draco watched her,
Not realizing what he had said had hurt her, he was totally clueless to those kinds of things, smooth move Draco, he said to himself hitting his head with the palm of his hand
Ginny headed to the nearest restroom and tried cooling her head down a bit, okay Ginn, were here for one thing, and that's to just try to get along with him and get through this, she came back to the table and acted like nothing happened
Draco looked at her, he wanted to apologize for his being rude behavior but didn't know how, it was his first time but Ginny was showing him friendship and he neglected that, he wanted to show her that he didn't really enjoy being a Malfoy
Before he could, the waiter's had already brought in the food in a cart, placing one serving of meal for each of them to taste, Ginny took the first bite and took a moment to react
"This is actually good…" she said after swallowing, Draco took a bite from his plate and tasted it himself
"Yeah, not bad…" he added nodding his head
They tasted serving after serving, each so delicious, it was going to be hard to choice from all the selections they had, it was Ginny's first time to ever eat in a fancy restaurant, it was a wonderful experience to her
Finally being able to finish their taste test,
"Thank you, we will be informing you if ever we will be needing your catering service for the dance, maybe next week or so…" Draco said to the head waiter, who seemed delighted by his words,
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, I'll be waiting for your approval…" he replied with a bow
looks like he knows Malfoy, everyone did, he's family had the power to buy anything they wanted and that made people suck up to them a lot, Ginny thought to herself as she watched them from afar
Looking at the people passing by, shop for something they needed or simply take time to look around the shops, when Ginny saw one couple holding hands,
she imagined herself in their place, how great it would feel to have someone hold your hand as you walk in the snow, she blurted loudly not knowing Draco was already next to her
"Do you talk to yourself often Weasley?" he asked looking at her with a weird look
"Yes, why do you care?" Ginny said trying to avoid looking at him as she started walking
"You're one weird girl Weasley…" he added, catching up to her, she just gave him a smile, as they walked side by side
