Chapter 3: Green eyed Weasley?
Ginny opened her eyes, she looked at her watch, it was 7:15 am. She sighed, last night had been so long. She and Draco had fought over the bedroom and over who got what and whose fault it had been. He was so infuriating! But she would not give up, this was also her prize. She got up and walked to the bathroom, a towel in her hand. What she needed was a shower, then she'd be motivated for the hell that was coming. She turned the hot water on, stripped and got in, letting the hot water run down her body. It really did make her feel better.
"Weasley!" Draco pounded on her bedroom door minutes later. "Weasley I need to use the bathroom!" He hated this, she was in his bedroom with the only door to his bathroom. "Weasley let me in!" He yelled. He was about to relieve himself in his pants.
Ginny heard a slight tapping, but she just shrugged it off and continued to rinse off her hair. Had Malfoy woken up and left already? 'I hope so' She thought.
Draco would NOT do the potty dance, he would not! Instead he began to pace in the sitting room, but that wasn't helping much either. He suddenly stopped. What was he a muggle? He walked over to the end table and grabbed his wand, then walked over to the bedroom door.
"Alohamora" He said clearly and loudly. The door clicked and he let himself in, however, it was a bad moment, because as soon as he scanned the bedroom, his eyes landed on the open bathroom door, and the red-head wrapped in a towel came out.
Ginny saw Malfoy walk in and screamed. "FERRET! GET OUT YOU BLOODY PERV!" She screamed and grabbed the first thing next to her hand and threw it at him. It happened to be a scotch glass. He ducked and ran out, eyes covered. She ran after him and closed the door, locking it with her wand.
Draco stood against the door breathing heavily. Bloody wench! She was so irritating and annoying and stupid and ugly! He sighed in frustration and walked out of the room. He made his way to the deck and looked out at the ocean. Then if she was so ugly, why couldn't he get the image of her in a towel out of his head. He shook his head and decided to go get some food, maybe then he'd feel normal.
Ginny repaired the scotch glass and sat on her bed. Stupid Malfoy! She took a deep breath and looked through her newly stocked closet. She decided on a pair of black Capri pants, a dark green shirt, and dark green sandals. She grabbed a black headband and put it where her hairline met her forehead. She looked in the mirror, maybe today she'd straighten her hair. She pointed her wand at her hair and suddenly, her deep auburn locks turned straight. She smiled and applied her usual natural make-up. With a splash of plumeria, she walked out, wand in her pocket.
Draco finished eating his eggs and toast and looked across the room. His eyes stopped when they met dark brown almond shaped eyes. She had long black hair and pale skin. The girl staring right back at him was with a bunch of her girl friends. She smiled at him and winked, he smirked at her . She got up and walked over to him, taking the seat across from him.
"Amy Williams" She said in a sexy voice. Her full red lips formed a pout.
"Draco Malfoy" He said, taking her hand and giving it a light kiss. She was just his type.
"So tell me Draco, what is it you do?" Asked Amy, batting her eyelashes. Draco looked at her, he knew this kind of woman, gold digger, easy, didn't want a real relationship. Just an easy fuck. Well that's all he wanted as well.
"I own my corporation. I do business with transportation companies" He said smoothly. Draco took a swing o f his orange juice and she giggled.
"Ahh, I see. Well, if I'm not too forward, would you accompany me tonight to the Alley? It's the nightclub on the ship" Said Amy with a slow grin. She reminded Draco of a woman he had once seen in a muggle movie. Seductive, but with hidden motives. But he never got attached, so why not?
"Amy, I would be delighted to accompany you tonight." Said Draco with a smirk. Things were going his way, everything was perfect.
A flash of red caught his eye, and he turned toward it. There she was, the one thing that was ruining this cruise. She was taking a seat, a plate in front of her. He turned back to Amy.
"I'll see you tonight at seven, in front of the club, but I'm afraid I have just seen my business partner and I must go have a chat with her." Said Draco. He hated the Weasley chit, but he was a gentleman no matter what, and therefore, had to apologize for walking in on her earlier.
Amy nodded and got up ready to go.
"Oh and, don't make any arrangements for after" Said Draco with a smirk on his lips. Amy smiled and nodded. If she played her cards right, this could bring her a financially good future.
Draco watched Amy walk off and got up with a sigh. He was swallowing his pride just by thinking of apologizing. He walked over to her and glanced at her plate. His eyes widened. She had eggs, bacon, sausage links, ham, a glass of juice, and pancakes on another plate with strawberries. How could she eat that much!? Was she allowed to eat that much?
"Weasley..." He began, she looked up at him and swallowed her food.
"Malfoy, this breakfast is really good, and I want to eat it, but being near you will make me loose my appetite." Said Ginny through narrowed eyes. Draco glared at her. He was trying to be nice.
"What's the point of you eating Weasley? You're probably going to go shove your finger down your throat after finishing it." He smirked, then mentally kicked himself. How had he come to apologize and ended up insulting her?
She gaped at him. "Just because my job requires me to be thin, doesn't mean I starve or make myself sick like all the bimbos you date Malfoy. Some of us prefer to actually exercise." She said. She gave him a fake smile and proceeded to take a bite out of half a sausage link.
Draco rolled his eyes and sat down. "Listen Weasley, I didn't come here to argue. I came here to..." He trailed off. This was like admitting he was best friends with Potter.
Ginny looked at him expectantly through a mouthful of pancakes.
"I came here to apologize, for this morning I mean. I didn't know you were in the shower." He said, looking anywhere but at her. He knew she would have a triumphant look on her face. But when he finally turned to her, she was looking at him calmly.
She smiled, not a mocking smile, but a real one. "Thank you Malfoy." Said Ginny, surprised at this. Maybe we could be civil to one another during this trip.
Draco immediately gained consciousness and smirked. "Besides," He started "there really is nothing to look at." He said and got up. "Enjoy your breakfast Weaselette" Draco walked off, he had won, once again he had the last word.
Ginny looked at his retreating back. Or maybe not... She finished her breakfast and decided to go out for a swim. She really wanted to enjoy this cruise. But that would be impossible, he was just so irritating. She was at her door before she realized it and walked in her bedroom to get a bathing suit. She picked a black one piece halter bathing suit that was backless and began again at her lower back. Thank Merlin he wasn't in the room right now. Who knows where he was and whom he was harassing.
She walked out and to the back part of she ship, the pool was nice and had a hot tub near it. She lowered her sunglasses and walk to a chair where she laid down her towel and a white translucent, spaghetti-strap baby doll dress. Her now black sandals on her feet. She took her sunglasses off and walked to the edge of the pool where she sat down and dipped her feet. She was there a few minutes when a shadow came over her. She looked up and her eyes met gorgeous blue ones. The man standing there took a seat next to her.
"Aren't you Nevra?" He asked with a smile and an accent. She studied him, charming smile, brown messy hair, blue eyes and a yummy body.
Ginny smiled back and nodded. "Yes, but please don't go shouting it out. So far I've gotten lucky." She said. It was true, a person or two had recognized her, and she had posed for photos. But so far she had not been engulfed by a crowd of people.
"Oh I won't. My name's Ian Wayne." He said sticking out his hand for her to shake.
She shook his and smiled. "Like, Bruce Wayne?" She asked with a playful smile. He nodded and she suddenly remembered her manners. "Ginny Weasley" She said "Um, what accent is that by the way?" She inquired curiously.
He grinned at her "Australian. I'm from Sydney, the capital" He said looking at the water.
"Oh wow. It must be beautiful there." She said in awe.
"It is. But I moved to England for school." Said Ian.
"Oh and how do you like England?" She asked with interest as she examined him. He was so cute. Brown hair, green eyes, dimples. A small part if her wished she wasn't taken.
"It's great, all the girls are making me feel right at home." He grinned.
Ginny laughed. "I don't blame them. But um, anyways, what are you doing on this cruise?" She asked trying not to blush as she realized she had just called him good looking in not so many words.
"Enjoying life? Haha, actually my mates and I wanted to take a trip to America and this was an awesome opportunity to do so..." He said as he gestured to a bunch of guys on the opposite end of the pool splashing each other around. "You?" He asked looking back at her.
"Um, to tell you the truth, I won the ticket accidentally while I was at the mall." She confessed with a grimace.
"You don't seem happy about it..." He trailed off
"Yeah well there was a second ticket. See it was so stupid, it was a couple contest and the other ticket belongs to-"
"Your boyfriend." He interrupted looking down.
Ginny took a moment to understand his face and bit her lip. "No..."
He looked up and smiled "No worries, I should have known someone as beautiful as you would have someone already...Well it was nice to meet you anyways." Said Ian and stood up before Ginny could protest. "Bye.." He said before turning around and leaving.
Ginny sighed, she had only been here a day and already she wanted to go back home.
"Chase another bloke away? Not surprised... You're not very pleasant..." Came a drawl from beside her.
Ginny sighed and hung her head. "Why don't you speak for yourself Malfoy? Ugh go away! I'm trying to relax!" She said without looking at him.
"Go away? Is that the best you can do? And you're not trying to relax, you're trying to find a man. By the way I was watching and that was a pathetic attempt..." He smirked
"Well what are you staring at me for perv!?" She huffed
For a moment he was caught off guard and his eyes widened, but then quickly he glared just as she turned to look at him. "First of all, I was looking at that gorgeous blond over there, don't flatter yourself Weasley, I've already told you, you're nothing to look at."
She turned to him and he laughed, she was so red. "It's not like there's much to look at when someone looks at you..." She said through gritted teeth.
He laughed under his breath and looked around. "Weasley, look at all the women all over staring at me. I'd say I'm pretty good looking. There must be a good 10 women staring at me."
"Ugh Malfoy! You're talking way too much and I'm trying to think but I can't hear myself think, shut up!!!" She glared
"Just pointing out the-" He began smugly but did not get to finish as someone pushed him into the pool. He came back to the surface and sputtered water out "What the hell...?" He trailed off angrily. His eyes widened when he took the scene around him. All the women that had been staring at him were now around Ginny shoving papers and pens in her face and flashes were going off around her.
They had not been staring at him, they were deciding weather it was really Nevra or not. He grumbled and swam away in a bad mood.
Ginny looked around surprised and smirked. They had been staring at her. She gladly signed autographs and took pictures for the women who had saved her from the Abominable Malfoy. She giggled at her own nickname but quickly recovered when she saw all the muggles that had gathered. So much for relaxation.
By dinner time Ginny made her way to her room. She felt like she had signed at least one autograph for every person on the cruise. She walked in and sighed as she flopped down on her bed. Too much sometimes. This was normal but sometimes it was too crazy. She rubbed her eyes and got up to look at herself on the vanity beside the bed. With a smile she grabbed her wand and a few moments later her hair was light brown and her eyes a pretty olive green.
"Perfect..." She muttered as she ran over to her temporary closet to find an outfit. She would have fun tonight, alone or not. She looked around and suddenly came upon the perfect outfit, her eyes widened and she grinned as she took it out and laid it on the bed. Shoes were next and she picked a beautiful pair of black t-strap heels and ran to get into the shower.
Draco walked into the suite carefully and looked around hoping Ginny wasn't in there. He sighed contently when he noticed she wasn't and ran to get into the shower. Once he came out he put on his black slacks, a tucked in black button up dress shirt, and black shoes. He checked his watch and cursed, he needed to go meet Amy soon. With a flick of his wand his hair was messy around his face and he was out the door still cursing.
A few minutes later he spotted the entrance and with it, a beautiful woman in an extremely short dark purple dress. He hair was down straight and her black stiletto heels gave her legs an appearance of longitude. He smirked thinking of what would come after the club and as he neared, whispered softly in her ear.
"Been waiting long?" He asked with a small smile.
She turned around and grinned. He noticed the smile looked very fake but nonetheless put his hand on the small of her back and kissed her cheek.
"No, just a couple of minutes or so... Ready to go in?" Asked Amy batting her eyelashes.
He nodded and led her into the club where their ID's were checked. He looked around and smirked, it was a salsa club and one thing he knew how to dance was salsa.
"Shall we?" He asked indicating to the dance floor.
Amy nodded and allowed him to lead her to the dance floor.
Ginny sighed in relief as she finally found the club called "The Alley". She had been wondering around looking for it. The brochure said it was the most popular club in the entire club, and it was salsa, her favorite type of dance.
She walked in after the guard checked her ID and put it back inside her small black purse. It was a wonderful club with great music. She found a small table and laid her shawl and purse down then sat down to watch everyone dance with a grin. A waiter asked her if she wanted anything and feeling in the spirit, she asked for a strawberry margarita. A few seconds later he brought it to her and she began to sip on it.
"Excuse me..." Came a voice from behind her. She turned around curiously and found Ian there. She smiled and then remembered that he could not recognize her.
"Hello" She said politely.
"I'm Ian...I was wondering if you'd like to dance with me..?" He asked hopefully
Ginny smiled and nodded. "Gi- um Giada... And yes, I'd love to." She said and took his hand to go to the dance floor. Maybe this cruise wouldn't be so bad if she could be someone completely different from Nevra or even Ginny.
Draco and Amy had just finished their third dance when the music changed and she asked to sit down. He couldn't believe that she was tired already. But nonetheless he nodded and began to follow her back to their table. Draco stopped in his tracks when a beautiful brunette caught his attention. It seemed she had everyone's attention because as she stepped onto the dance floor people were moving out of the way. He caught a good look at her and his breath caught in his throat.
She had beautiful olive green eyes, long light brown hair and fair complexion. He looked at her up and down and decided that the red halter dress with the slit up the leg did wonders for her. Her black heels and black earrings completed the vision of beauty.
Ginny noticed everybody staring at her and blushed. For some reason she felt shy even though she was already used to large amount of attention.
She looked around and her eyes caught Malfoy's. He was staring at her clearly stunned. She looked to his side and saw a pretty woman by his side. So that was the tramp he would be sleeping with tonight.
Ian pulled her back to reality when he put his hand on her waist, a song began and they started to twirl and dance to the music. Other couples followed from their staring and soon the dance floor was full of couples.
After sitting out a few dances Ian and Ginny made their way to the dance floor again. He began to make small talk but for some odd reason she was hardly paying attention. Her eyes wondered over to Draco and his partner and noticed he was having trouble with her. She smirked and for a split second their eyes met. Silver on Green, smirk to smirk. She turned away. How perfectly Slytherin... She thought.
"I'll be back in a sec Draco. I need to go to the Ladies Room." Said Amy and walked away. He nodded and looked at the brunette. He walked over to them and tapped her partner on the shoulder.
"May I cut in?" He asked politely. The man, he recognized, was the one that had shot down Weasley and he looked bothered but nodded and walked away from them.
The girl for some reason looked a little apprehensive. "Hi, I'm Draco Malfoy" He introduced himself and held his hand out. "Giada." Was all she said as she held out hers as well. He took her hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.
An idea came to her head, if he did not recognize her at all, even her voice, she could have a great trip and he'd leave her alone. A smile came to her face and she kept it there.
They took their dancing positions and he noticed that she was a very smooth dancer. He was enjoying himself very much until he noticed something odd about her eyes. They were turning brown. He stopped them and her smile faded. It seemed she has been enjoying herself too.
"What's wrong?" She asked. She noticed his eyes up to her hair and looked back at him in horror, the spell was wearing off.
"Weasley!?" He asked incredulously and in shock.
All she could think of was fleeing so she did, and cursed herself. Her chameleon plan of relaxation was now out of the question.
