Fighting Fate, Fighting Friends

Last Time…

All of a sudden there was a splash. A barely intelligible "Help", and more splashing proved to be too much and the whole group fell to the floor laughing.

Chapter 4

Ron had, apparently, 'fallen in' and was currently splashing the water, trying to stay afloat. Everybody cracked up at this sight and Colin Creevey ran in and took several pictures. When everybody had finally calmed down and Ron looked to be about out of steam. Ginny, being the first to regain her voice, called out, "Ron! Put your feet down! You are in the shallow end you idiot!"

Ron stood up, red in the face and very angry. Seeing this, Ginny screamed, "RUN!!!"

Everybody scrambled to get away from the angry red-head.

"Looks like our race has been cut short!" James remarked as he ran past Draco into the changing room. All the guys piled into the room and locked it just as Ron ran into it, hoping to push it open.

"Weasley, you dumb-ass, see the sign? PULL not PUSH…" Malfoy shouted out over the ruckus as the guys ran off to change.

Ginny and the girls had gotten changed and were waiting for the others to join them to go downstairs for lunch.

"While we're waiting…Carla…What is going on between the ferret and you?" As Ginny said this, the other girls swarmed around her.

"Well…Umm…" Carla stuttered.

"This isn't the composed sister I have…Come on spit it out." Anna said, smirking.

"Ok…Umm…See…Well, I was showering last night and he had walked into the bathroom and well, there was a lot of screaming and splashing and then somehow, he ended up right behind me…I ran out. Instead of going to bed, I sat out in the common room and read. Well, he sat next to me and we started talking. I tried to convince him that you guys weren't so bad and I asked him to try and accept my friends. Then…Never mind." Carla finished, blushing furiously.

"Ooo I see how it is…Carla likes Draco…" Ginny taunted.

"Carla! How could you?!?!" Anna exclaimed.

"Anna…You've always said…" Carla stuttered.

"Never mind what she said. Do any of you know where Draco is?" A new girl had stepped out of the shadows. She had long, black hair that almost touched the floor, she had weaved in dark green ribbons and had a small broomstick in her hair. Ginny realized it was a small pin. Her eyes were such a dark brown that they appeared to be black. In contrast, her pale skin reminded Ginny of Draco. 'Draco? Where did that come from?'

"So?...Where is my dearest Draco? Hmmm…Is there something you aren't telling?" The girl narrowed her eyes at the speechless group of girls. "Oh stop gaping…come on where is my favorite guy in the whole world?"

"Fine, I'll go get the Ferret for you," Ginny muttered, "Although who would think he is the best guy in the world must be bloody bonkers."

"I heard that! Ooo you're gonna pay." The girl stalked toward Ginny and Ginny, not wanting to test her, broke out into a run straight for the door. Ginny turned her head to find the girl had stopped and before Ginny could process what was happening, she had run into something.

"Oof, Is it just me or are all of the Weasley's this clumsy?" Draco muttered from underneath Ginny.

"Drakey! I haven't seen you in forever! Please don't tell me you are friends with these idiots." The girl rushed forward and gripped Draco by the shoulders and pulled him up to his feet. Ginny openly gaped, the girl was a midget!

"Umm, Who…are you?" Carla asked, narrowing her eyes at the 'foreign chic.'

"Nevermind that, What in bloody blazes are you doing here?!?" Draco asked, becoming suspicious, after a moment, it dawned on him, "Oh Merlin, don't tell me you scared your professor again with that monster in her closet?"

"Hey! That was once and I was an amateur…" The strange girl said with a grin. Draco looked at her with suspicion

"You blew up the school didn't you?"

"Maybe…"

"But once isn't enough to actually get you kicked out…Don't tell me, you lost your temper and set a dragon loose so it'd eat Cody and whatever other exes you've had since last winter."

"Well, that's a little harsh. Don't you think?"

Draco realized, up until that point they had totally ignored the bloody weasel and her friends… "Don't you guys have somewhere to be?"

Ginny and co. glared but left to chat in the Head Girl's common room. Leaving Draco and that weird girl…

"So, back to your previous school…What did you do?"

"Well, Cousin Draco, what do you care if I blew up the school…" And after a pause, "Once or twice? And as far as I'm concerned, Cody sent me a Howler and embarrassed me in front of the whole school. And anyway, the poor dragon looked like it was yearning to get out. Don't you have any sympathy for the dear dragon? Drakey-poo? And last I checked, you aren't my mother…or a girl for that matter!" She stepped closer to Draco and reached for his balls, "I hope there's a cock under those immaculate robes…"

"What the fuck?! You're my fucking cousin for gods sake…What's your bloody problem? And don't you dare call me 'drakey-poo'."

"Ahhhh, I see your problem drakey-pie, you could have told me you know, no shame in revealing what you really are…a girl…no wonder poor Aunt Narcissa has been looking so down…I wonder how much the surgery must have cost?"

"You are so infuriating," Draco groaned half-heartedly.
