It isnt a gr8 chappy, cause i wrote bit by bit during my revision, sorry!

xXx

It was a cold morning, and Ginny had woken up late. When she arrived at breakfast, she still got some odd stares and heard a few people whispering about how "she managed to get dressed".

She has another detention with Trawnely tonight, great fun! Not.

Ginny was on her way to Transfiguration, still not in the best mood, but now was not the right time to cross her.

Walking through the corridor, she saw Pansy Parkinson and her cronies.

Trying to Ignore them Ginny was just going to walk straight past.

That was before she saw Pansy look straight at her and do her evil little cackle.

'Oh my god some one save that poor cat! Who is torturing it?' Ginny yelled, placing both hands over her ears.

Pansy and her friends seemed to stop and look at Ginny oddly.

'Oh thank Merlin its only you Pansy! I thought for a moment there someone was killing a cat.' Ginny faked relief.

'What are you going on about you ginger freak?' She snapped at her, Ginny heard a few of the Slytherins laugh or 'Ooo' her.

'Obviously I just didn't make that clear enough hey? Well I was saying- your- Laugh. –Sounds- Like- A- Dying- Cat. Sort it out!' Ginny then moved to turn and walk away, not wanting to waste anymore of her time of this little cow.

Pansy's eyes narrowed, and she took a step closer. Ginny did not move or flinch.

'Watch you back Weasley, I am much older and smarter than you, and you wouldn't want to cross me' she snarled

'Ha! Older? Yea OK, but smarter? Don't make me laugh! Everyone knows that a flobber worm has more brain capacity than you.' There were a few laughs in the newly formed crowd, people waiting to see if a duel breaks out.

'Want to test that little theory blood traitor?' Pansy quickly whipped out her wand, automatically making Ginny do the same thing.

'Now Pansy if you are really going to do this try and remember some spells now, cause I might not go to easy on you' Ginny spoke with complete confidence.

This is Pansy. Anyone could beat her. Right?

The two were circling each other now.

'You are going to have the one that needs to remember-'

'Expeliarmus!' Ginny called and completely taking Pansy by surprise, her wand flew straight into her hand.

'Thanks for the little game pansy but I would rather duel someone more…challenging' She smirked as she turned to walk off.

'Should have known you were one Griffindor who couldn't play fair' Pansy called

'Against a dirty Slytherin like you?' She smiled facing her 'No way.'

Pansy screeched and Ginny caught bits like

'…You calling dirty… kill…bitch'

Staring to get really pissed off Ginny lazily turned round noticing Pansy running straight for her, with a flick of her wand she muttered

'Petrificus Totalus'

By now everyone around them was laughing, Ginny Weasley younger than Pansy had disarmed and put a full body bind on Pansy.

No one dared move to help their friend, some of them Ginny could see laughing.

'Oh yea, you might need this, not that it would bring you any help.' She was waving her wand in front of Pansy's frozen form. 'And a word of advise. Practice' She tossed the wand to Pansy, and it fell next to her body before Ginny Turned on her heel.

Making her way to the crowd (which was shockingly quite big) She saw Malfoy, He was leaning against the pillar, and seemed to have had a good view of it all. She caught his eye and he seemed to have an amused look in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked slightly.

Not stopping she carried on walking, she could hear Pansy's friends start to make a fuss around her, but she didn't look back. Her mind was still focusing on the fact that Draco was amused by it all. Wouldn't he usually interfere?

One thing was for sure though. Her mood was loads lighter.

xXx

Malfoy watched the whole ordeal highly amused, laughing at some of the Weaslette's comebacks.

He never thought someone younger would cross an older student, let alone a Slytherin.

Ginny Weasley seized to amaze him.

She seized to amaze me? What in Merlin is wrong with me?

His mood this morning was not the greatest seeing as he had detention this evening.

On his way to try and get rid of the shrieking spoon yesterday afternoon, McGonagall came hustling out of her office, demanding to know the reason for all the noise.

After the spoon insulted her a few times by saying such things as,

'There is not much point in you having lips, when u get stressed they thin and then all you can see are those hideous wrinkles'

Having no clue how to shut it up, the teacher gave him detention for the following night, so now he is going to have to get dinner in the kitchens again.

xXx

Ginny hastily scribbled as much of her transfiguration homework down as quickly as possible before running to the astronomy tower to meet professor Trawnely.

Meanwhile Draco Malfoy walked calmly to meet professor McGonagall, knocking on the door three times he stood back and waited patiently.

A flustered McGonagall opened the door, holding books and essays in her arms. It was not a very normal thing to see this head of house flustered or anything apart from collected.

'Mr Malfoy I will not be able to take your detention tonight, and I am sorry I did not send you an owl, but as you can probably tell I have no time to spare.' She spoke quickly and clearly

'That's ok should I come back tomorrow then?' He asked trying to be pleasant.

'No that won't be necessary, I have already scheduled for you to go and do detention with professor Trawnely, seeing as she is already giving a pupil detention.' She said

'What? No professor please I will come back next week I do not need to sit a detention with her.' He tried to sound normal but he couldn't hide the small plea in his voice, he did not want to be near that old bat, that was why he dropped her class.

'I'm afraid I cant do that Mr Malfoy. I have already spoken to her, and she is expecting you now, so please you do not want to make yourself late.' And with that she turned and walked off towards the staff room.

'Stupid Trawnely, I have to go through two hours with this Looney bat' He muttered to himself.

Climbing the ladder, he was greeted with a strong scented smell that made him want to gag, fortunately he settled for coughing.

He managed to stand up properly and then looked round, only to see the young Weasley standing in front of him looking uncomfortable.

'Malfoy? What are you doing here?' She asked a small from forming on her delicate features.

'I could ask you the same thing…' She only gave him an odd look so he carried on 'I was meant to have a detention with McGonagall today but she couldn't take me, so she is making me have it with this old bat. What about you?'

Ginny gave him a small smile before speaking,

'Well this "old Bat" made me come back for a detention after storming out her class and calling her a fake basically' She told him in a matter- of- fact way.

'Is that how u some how ended up being in my potions lesson?' He asked

'And how else was I going to make sure you went through with the dare?' She said with one of her smiles.

For some reason when she smiled at him Draco found himself smiling back.

'Well I can at least say I performed my dare greatly' He said in a cocky tone that Ginny raised an eyebrow at him.

'It wouldn't have been so good if I hadn't made it better' She replied

'How did you make it better?'

'Well you and I both know it wasn't you that animated it'

'That was you?' He asked actually quite shocked.

'Oh it was nothing, just a bit of brains and the whole school is talking bout you' She told him waving a hand as if to knock something back

Draco scowled at her. His dare was done well, he stood up to his head of house, embarrassed him, but she had to make it worse. He hoped that when he saw the looks and smiles people gave him that the whole school wasn't talking about him. Well he was wrong.

'Well thanks to your stupid stunt I have to have a detention because I couldn't shut the stupid thing up' Malfoy growled

'Wow you area a year above me, and a prefect, yet you couldn't think to put a silencing charm on it? Clever.' She mocked him.

'Well what about your dare?' Draco obviously trying to steer away from the fact that she was actually right.

A silencing charm! Why didn't I think of that? It is so simple! Argh!

'What about it? I think I did it pretty well' she smiled cockily at him.

'Yea you did well at making the boys stare at you, and make your brother mad.'

'There was nothing in it that said I couldn't do that-'

'Sorry I am late, ah yes mister Malfoy professor McGonagall told me you would be coming' the voice of professor Trawnely rang through their ears.

'You had to be told? Couldn't you have just looked into the mystic ball or what ever it is you do?' Draco smirked, hearing Ginny stifle a giggle next to him.

'No. We seeks do not look into pointless everyday matters, unless there is a need for it. Now you will be polishing all of my "mystic balls" and whipping down my tables, if you finish that then-'

'We can open the windows and let some "fresh" air in maybe?' Draco shot back. He could see Ginny staring at him in shock for a moment then smiling at him.

'Mister Malfoy I do not appreciate your rudeness. Now after you have done that you can come and find me.' She said conjuring up some cleaning material for them.

She left the room, and Ginny immediate began collecting some of the materials to start whipping the tables.

'This is work for house elves' Draco scowled

'Suck it up princess' Ginny shot at him. Draco looked up for a minute to see Ginny whipping down the tables, as if she had said nothing, but he could still see the faint smile that played on her lips.

'So the Weaslette thinks, just because she can take one Slytherin she can take them all then?' Draco smirked

'Ha! No actually I don't. Anyway I think a first year could take Parkinson.'

'OK Weasley…whatever'

'Why did you not stand up for her anyway?' Ginny asked, her curiosity getting the better of her ' I mean you two are almost connected at the hip, I would have though you would have jumped at the chance to hex a Griffindor, let alone a Weasley'

'Maybe, but I would never hex a woman, Weasley or not. And also Parkinson is always attaching herself to me, never the other way round. It was just something to make me look good, having her hanging off my arm' He replied quite satisfied with his answer until he heard Ginny snort with laughter.

'OK that's a fair enough reason not to hex a girl, but Parkinson? You used her to make you look good? Oh dear! I think even you Malfoy could have had someone a little better then Parkinson. Merlin how you ever thought she made you look good' Ginny started to crack up with laughter at the thought of Pansy hanging onto Malfoy's arm.

Her laugh was so contagious that Draco found himself laughing lightly along with her.

He noticed a few things when he was serving detention with the Weasley. Like how when she laughs she starts to lean forward, or if she is thinking about something she would nibble on her bottom lip, or maybe even twist a strand of her auburn hair around her finger.

Hang on. Hold the owls! Stop the floo! I have noticed things? Okay crazy thoughts. Stop now. NOW!

xXx

Ginny found that the detention flew by, and it was not long till the professor was climbing the ladder to tell them they could leave.

Ginny was shocked to find how light hearted Malfoy had become after minutes of the detention, he was laughing with her, and even a few times he would crack his own jokes.

But when he heard the sound of Trawnely climbing the ladder she saw this shadow cast over his eyes, almost as if this mask was being placed over it.

After climbing down the ladder Ginny made to walk away, but Malfoy seemed to be going in the same direction as her.

'Thank Merlin! It was bad enough having her as a teacher, I never want to have to spend time with her again' Malfoy moaned.

'Honestly Malfoy does anything in this life actually please you?' Ginny barked

'Loads of things please me Weaslette but not that, that is any of your business' He snapped back.

'All right Malfoy calm it no need to get you nappy in a twist' She teased.

'Wha-you- Whatever Weasley. Nappy?' He smirked Ginny just rolled her eyes.

'Why are you following me?' She asked, he just quirked an eyebrow

'If anything you are following me, just cant resist my charm?' Ginny stopped and looked straight at him.

'What charm? I am going to the kitchens, as I happened to miss my dinner. So you can take your "Charm" and shove it up your arse cause I am off.' And with that she stomped away.

What was that about? Why did I suddenly blow? If anything I should be grateful that he was even being pleasant.

Why did I get worked up about his stupid joke?

Argh! I need some food!

As she reached the kitchens, after going the long way round to get away from Malfoy, she tickled the pear and was greeted by a few house elves.

'Please could I have some dinner?' she asked

'Certainly miss' was the squeaky reply she got from one of them, before they scurried off.

She moved to go towards the tables when a certain blonde haired Slytherin was already sitting there.

'Malfoy!' She snapped.

'Honestly Weasley I no I'm good looking and everything, but this is just getting silly' He smirked at her.

'Don't flatter yourself' She sat next to him, ready to have a repeat of two nights ago, when he was constantly trying to make her leave.

The house elves arrived moments after with food for both Ginny and Draco.

'Hermione would kill me if she knew I was doing this again' She said, mainly to herself but Malfoy was not the type to hold back his curiosity

'And that would be because…?' He urged

Ginny gave him a weird look, as to why he cared so much but he simply shrugged his shoulders.

'She has this thing… about house elves, she wants them all to be free, and doesn't like the fact that they are made to cook and clean for everyone with no pay.' She stated in a matter- of- fact- way.

Malfoy raised both eyebrows at this. 'She wants them to be free? Does she not know that they enjoy helping people? God I always new she was crazy, most mud-' He stopped remembering that Ginny hated it when he cursed her friends, or called Hermione mudblood.

Ginny's eyes narrowed at him, but she carried on anyway. ' No growing up most of her life as a muggle, she had to do things by hand, but coming into our world she did not like the fact that we get a creature to slave after us, do all our dirty work. She refused to eat the school lunches for like a day, but she gave up cause she was hungry.' Ginny inwardly smiled at the memory. ' She also started protesting against it, she made her own group called SPEW or something, honestly I have never known so much about elf rights.' She told him.

'Ok… whatever she rambles on enough, it wouldn't surprise me that she could find enough information to make a protest.'

'I wouldn't wish for anyone to go through that, she wouldn't leave us alone until we signed up.' Ginny told him.

'Obviously you just don't know how to block people out' He said.

'Block people out? Honestly any Slytherin must be good at that having to listen to Parkinson' She smirked.

'That's the same with Hermione' He replied earnestly

'No trust me anyone would rather stay in Hermione's company than Pansy's any day. Argh that shriek! I feel sorry for her parents. At least Hermione is down to earth, and can cast a proper hex' Ginny told him

Draco didn't know why he was getting so defensive, he didn't even like Pansy, she was an annoying girl that he couldn't wait to get rid of, but he wanted to prove the Weasley wrong. She always had this control whenever he spoke to her, the control that he always had with every girl he had been with.

'Okay whatever you say Weasley' He smirked

'What don't believe it? Fine I will let you see for yourself. Actually no I wont. I dare you to ask Hermione if you can join SPEW and you have to be serious.' She told him

'What do you mean no you wont let me see for myself?' He asked

'Well I am going to give you the really annoying side of Hermione, you have to really do it well though, not like your last dare.' She smiled

'My last dare? There was nothing wrong with that, you couldn't have done any better if you tried Weaslette'

'Whatever you just keep telling yourself that… anyway you have to speak to Hermione about her SPEW protest, and you have to try as hard as you can to get your name on her list, then you can try and boast about how well you do your dares' Ginny was pleased, she was going to see him grovel ( okay maybe not grovel) at a Griffindor, she hoped Hermione was going to make it really hard for him.

'Sure thing Weasley, but you have a dare to do to.' She raised an eyebrow at him, as if to tell him to carry on. 'If I have to spend time with the most annoying person in Griffindor, then you have to spend time with Pansy, doing the stuff she does. You have to try and really get in with all that girlie stuff she does, but really try hard' Malfoy didn't really know what that was about, what was the girlie stuff that Pansy did? Well let's just hope that whatever Weasley tries, Pansy gives her a hard time.

'And the point to that is…?' Ginny asked

'I don't know just that you have to see what it is like having to spend time with Pansy, you have to get into her little circle on fashion or whatever she yaps on about' Draco told her

'So someone else doesn't like Pansy either then…' Ginny smirked

Shit! Draco was mentally cursing himself why did I say that out loud? Why have I given her such a pathetic attempt at a dare? Argh! Oh well at least I get to see Weasley try and fail to get near Pansy

'What because I have had her hanging on my arm, and in my house, that means I have to like her? I don't think so, I am a Malfoy I don't have people I "like"' He replied.

'Woo don't mess with you cause you're a Malfoy! That is a really sad excuse' She told him

'What just cause I have high standards unlike you Weasley.' Malfoy got up and made his way towards the portrait hole, when he heard Ginny's faint reply.

'I will never understand you…' Draco didn't think he was meant to hear but he did.

Heyy hope it was ok!

Please give me some ideas for some dares, or anything you may want to come up, and i can try and work with it!

PLEASE REVIEW! BE KIND!
