Hey sorry for late update, was away. Please read and review :
Ginny could only just see a small dot flying around so fast, it was hard to tell where it had gone in the night sky.
Argh! I came out here to get away, to enjoy it by myself. SOD OFF PERSON ON THE BROOM! If its Harry I can tell him to piss off, actually whomever it is I can still tell them to piss off.
Ginny made her way to the gates to the Quidditch pitch, when she stepped inside, she found herself just standing there watching the person fly.
She couldn't tell who it was, but it wasn't Harry. This person flew with such meaning, where Harry flew with force, yet gracefully.
She watched this person fly, the way the broom turned so swiftly, the person having so much control over the broom.
After a moment she snapped out of her trance and mounted her broom. She wanted to find out her the mystery flyer was.
As she got closer she noticed this person was a boy, he had a strong structure, and then she noticed the blonde hair.
Oh crap, please no! Well now he has noticed me. Gah! Now he is flying over, well I can't turn back.
MALFOY?
'Weaslette it's a bit late for you to be out isn't it? Especially after curfew. I have to do what this badge signifies.' He pointed to his prefect badge
Ginny just stood there staring at him for a moment,
Malfoy? The person who is so stuck up and big headed can fly that well on a broom? Why didn't I ever notice this?
'Do what you want but I'm staying out here. I know you wont hand me in because you are not allowed out after curfew unless you are on your rounds. And you have threatened me constantly about that badge, yet you haven't done anything about it' She smugly replied
Malfoy gave her an odd look, and then raised an eyebrow at her.
'I too have come to fly, so now that you are done you can kindly GET LOST so I can be by myself' She told him
'Don't think so Weasley, this pitch is too good to be wasted on such useless "talent"' He smirked at her.
'Exactly so you know where the exit is then? Or do you need help flying down there?' She shot back
Before he could say something back Ginny had shot off to the end of the pitch.
&&&&&&
Draco watched the little Weaslette fly away from him.
Maybe she can fly well, all she has to do it get a better broom, and her technique is good, well apart from her grip
He watched her do a few laps, then practice on her stopping and starting.
He didn't realise he had been watching her for so long, and only snapped out when he noticed her heading towards him.
'Cant keep away can you Weasley?' He smirked
'Malfoy are you just going to sit there and watch me? Because I'm sure you could do that from the ground, it you are that obsessed by me'
What? She thinks I am just staring at her, no! I was watching her technique.
Like how her long hair fly's behind her when she fly's- no, no I mean her starting and stopping.
'Erugh! Don't paint nasty images in my mind'
'Sure whatever just stop watching, it is really off putting'
Okay… anyhow I really need too get to the Weasley more, I need to flirt! My subtlety is not working… maybe I should be more full on. Hey it's worth a try.
He did a few laps, but kept finding that his eyes were wondering over to see what the she Weasley was doing.
So in the end he flew over to her.
&&&&&&
'Really Weaslette it is painful watching you try, let me show you.' He smirked
She just raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at him and put her hands out, signalling for him to go ahead.
Can your head GET any bigger?
'Well you see the way you hold the handle? Its all wrong.'
'Way to break it to me softly, but last time I checked, I was pretty good at flying, made it on the Griffindor team and all.' She stated.
'That's great…I really didn't want to know your life story, now do you want me to show you or not?'
She seemed to think it over then gave him a small nod.
'Don't choke it, you have to treat it with care, then you will have more control over it. Would you like someone to just force you to do something? Cause you pain just to get their own way? To prove they can do something, like win the match, and not enjoy it. To get what you want, you have to handle it with care.'
For some strange reason that really makes sense… in more ways then one. Crazy child.
'Ok… like this?' She showed him.
'A little easier, its firm but gentle…if that makes any sense?'
Ginny gave him a small nod.
So the evening went on, Malfoy showed Ginny different techniques to flying, and showed her how to do a flip in the air.
Ginny found she catching on really quickly, him teaching her had a good affect.
'You're a good teacher' Ginny accidentally let slip.
What? Oh no please I did not just say that out loud? Why? Why?
'No needs to tell me, Malfoy's are good at everything'
'Except their comebacks' Ginny smirked
I just smirked at him… sweet Merlin I am turning into a Malflette. Nooo I am turning into the female version of my enemy!
But he's not really an enemy is he?
He has been really nice to me lately and we have actually been getting on pretty well. Strange…
'Anyhow Malfoy I'm going in' She started to fly towards the ground
'And risk getting caught? Don't you think I should lead you in so you don't end up getting detention?' He asked
'I'm a Weasley, I won't get caught, don't think I am going to walk back to my dorm'
'What other way is there? Flying?' He asked
'Wow you actually got it in one. Well done' She mocked
'You are going to fly to your dorm… okay then why are you walking now?' He asked walking beside her.
'I have this thing about entering and exiting the Quidditch pitch on foot. Weird I know but I have always done it' She shrugged
Malfoy gave a soft laugh.
I like his laugh. It makes him sound normal hahaha
'Fine, do as you please'
Ginny mounted her broom and hovered for a second watching as Malfoy did the same.
'What are you doing?' She asked
'Flying you back. What else?' He said simply
'Why would you do that?'
'Because I am not going to let a young lady, Weasley or not, Griffindor or not fly back to her room in the middle of the night, along side the forbidden forest. Also as a prefect, this is what I have to do'
Ginny just looked at him, and before she new she was beaming
He wants to wal- I mean fly me back! Yay! Wow I must be grinning like the Cheshire cat…
Ginny looked at Malfoy beam still in place only to see him smiling back at her.
He is smiling? Merlin her looks hot smiling, even if it is pitch black.
'Great lets go, and don't be too slow now' She laughed
The flew side by side in the night, when Ginny looked up to see the full moon shining down on them, she could see the reflection of the moon on the water of the lake.
Before she knew what she was doing, she had turned to the right and was flying inches above the water.
Malfoy seemed to be doing the same, and he was surprising her more and more as the night went on.
He put one hand down and let it glide gently across the water, making small splashes and ripples, as well as making Ginny's heart melt.
WHAT!
I mean it made Ginny's heart flutter.
Too soon Ginny saw her dorm window, and started to make her way towards it.
Maybe if I keep going he will never know… we could fly for longer. Wait, no!
'Here I am' She smiled
'Great' He returned the smile.
Slowly the space between them started to close, both leaning further and further in.
Ginny's heart was pumping faster then ever.
I'm going to kiss him! He IS really hot so I guess one kiss wont hurt. Oh what the heck I will just do-
Both of them suddenly jumped apart as Ginny's roommate opened the window.
'Ginny! You what are you doing? Do you want to lose us a lot of points before the end of term?' Gemma asked her.
Ginny went to look at Malfoy she noticed he wasn't there. He was already feet below and speeding quickly away.
'Your right I'm sorry, I was just flying.' She replied sadly
'But its after hours. Who were you with anyway? It looked like Malfoy, but then I thought the day you are ever seen with Malfoy…' She rambled
'No! It was not Malfoy. It is none of your business, who it was, but I'm here now and I have not been caught. Merlin you are starting to sound like Hermione' Ginny snapped
Why am I so mad? What happened was for the better right? I would only have regretted it afterwards…
'All right Gin I'm sorry I was just saying' Gemma looked a hurt, making Ginny feel really guilty.
'No its not your fault, its mine, I am the one being all moody' Ginny smiled.
Gemma smiled.
&&&&&&
'Ginny' Came a voice.
NO! Nooo not again, not here, not now! Why? I really need to tell Hermione to stop waking me up. Or I could just put a distraction charm on the door… Well I'm no genius so that's not going to happen anytime soon…
'Ginny!' Her voice came again.
'Go away 'Mione' Ginny mumbled
'Why am I always the one who has to get you up in the mornings? Cant you just ask your room mates?' Hermione asked.
Ginny rolled over to face her now awake.
'No, and if you don't like doing it then don't, I can get up by myself' Ginny snapped
'Then there wouldn't be anyone to get you up, and we all know you wont be able to get up by urself. Now hurry because I do want to have something to eat before lessons, and the common room is packed with shrieking, excited girls so I need to get away' She told her
Ginny raised an eyebrow at her and she just rolled her eyes.
'Just hurry up and come see for yourself'
'Okay okay I will be down in 5 minutes' Ginny said getting out of bed.
&&&&&&
The sun was shining warmly through the castle, and it seemed to be a perfect Monday morning.
Ginny entered the common room to find it buzzing.
Who could be this awake at 7:30 in the morning? Weirdo's…She saw Gemma with the rest of her roommates reading something on the notice board and squealing.
Walking over to Hermione who was standing by the fireplace.
'What's going on?'
'Go look for yourself' She smiled
Ginny made her way to the board, pushing past some first years and her roommates.
Summer Ball!
If you are in years 5 and above you have the option to attend Hogwarts very own Summer Ball!
Dates are required, but no Firewhisky or pranks are allowed in, as the gamekeeper Professor Filch will be searching each student.
The ball will be held in 2 weeks time.
Friday 23rd July.
There will be a Hogsmead weekend before for anyone who needs to get any "accessories"
Signed Professor McGonagall
Deputy Head.
Ginny finished reading, turned round and walked out.
A ball. No way in hell I am attending it, so no point in hanging around and talking about it. What a waste of time. Who comes up with these stupid ideas?
Although…it could be a laugh…Nah!
'Ginny!' Came Hermione's voice as she ran to catch up with her.
Ginny didn't stop; she carried on walking making her way towards the great hall.
'Ginny!' Ginny turned round to face her, putting on an innocent face.
'Sorry Hermione I didn't hear you, have you been calling me?' Ginny said sweetly.
Hermione stopped next to her panting slightly.
'Ha ha very funny! Why did you walk out? I waited for you and you walked out.' Hermione was obviously annoyed.
'Sorry but I couldn't stand being in there with those giggling girls'
'Neither could I but I waited! It doesn't matter. What do you think of the ball then?' She asked her.
'Cute. Not my style, so I don't think I will be going.' Ginny stated
Hermione looked a little crestfallen.
'Yea I suppose your right, it's not my thing either, but I had to come up with something, and I have to attend it'
Shit! Did I just stick my foot in it of what? It was Hermione's idea! Of course, I should have realised how she wanted me to go and see for myself. Damn.
'Oh Merlin Hermione I'm sorry, I didn't realise it was you who had planned it. It sounds like a great idea and everything, but I honestly can't hide from you that it is not my thing. I will come for you though' She added kindly
'No, no don't worry, I prefer it that you have been honest, and I wouldn't put you through all of it just for me' She smiled at Ginny
'Oh thank goodness. I was only saying it to be polite anyway' both girls laughed
They both took their seats at the Griffindor table, and started eating. Hermione was reading the Daily Prophet as usual and Ginny just sat and ate quietly, sometimes her eyes wondering over to the Slytherin table to see if a certain blonde haired boy was there.
'Have you got a free period 4th Hermione?' Ginny asked
'No sorry Harry, Ron and I have got charms then. Why did you want to do something?'
'No I was just wondering if you wanted to go sit by the lake, it seems a waste not to make the most of the good weather' Ginny told her.
'Oh sorry Gin, maybe tomorrow then hey?'
'Yea that would be great, I will just go have "alone" time' She teased
After Breakfast both girls headed towards their first lessons.
&&&&&&
Draco and Blaise left Herbology together after being shut in a stuffy greenhouse on a boiling hot day.
'What you got next then Dragon boy?' Blaise Teased, whilst Draco just scowled at him.
'Never call me that again Zabini! Your mother wont be please if you came home chopped up in your trunk now would she?' Draco snapped
'Funny. What you got next then?' Blaise asked
'Nothing I have 4th off today. What you got?'
' I have Charms.' He moaned as he read his timetable.
The walked for a few moments in silence, nearing the lake
'So are you going to search for the Grifflette? You really should crack on with that bet. Not even you can only take one week making her fall for you.' He grinned
'I still have three weeks, and actually I have got really far with it, not that you would know. I don't need to tail her to make her fall for me. That may be your tactic but its not mine' Draco said smirking before he walked off towards the lake.
Sitting under the beach tree on the edge of the lake, Draco just sat there thinking, planning, and scheming.
The more I try to get this girl to fall for me, the more I get to know her, and the more I get to know her, the more I get to like her. This is not what was meant to happen, she was meant to fall for me, not the other way round. Argh! I am a Malfoy, it is just a phase, and I can always have Pansy for my sloppy seconds. No scrap that.
And speaking of the devil Draco could now see the little Weaslette making her way towards him smiling.
Ha! She has already fallen for me, and I only ALMOST kissed her. Wow I am good.
'Hey Malfoy' She said cheerfully
'Weaslette why are you talking to me openly in public?'
Ginny's expression suddenly changed and a frown was forming on her delicate features.
'What? After always talking to me, you now don't want to? Make up your mind Malfoy!' She snapped as she got up and started to walk away.
'Weasley wait!' She stopped and turned round
Wow she really listens to me…
'I didn't mean it like that, its just whenever you talk to me, its either in the kitchens when no one is there, or detention, or in the hidden cove. What else am I supposed to think?' he explains
She seems to think it over realising that what he is saying is true, then walks back and sits down next to him.
He raises an eyebrow and then moves over so she ban lean against the trunk.
'So what did you come over for?' He eventually asks
'Just thought would come and say hey, seeing as it is what friends do' She told him
Friend? I'm a friend to her already? Wow I'm really good…
'Friend? Who's your friend?' He smirked at her
He saw a flicker of pain in her eyes for a moment before she forced a smile and threw a witty comment back.
&&&&&&
Ginny sat with Malfoy all of fourth period and through most of lunch, not really knowing why they were sitting with each other, but the convocation would never run dry.
Moments later a group of Hufflepuff 6th years walked past talking excitedly, not even sparing a glance their way.
'What are they babbling so excitedly about?' Malfoy asked
'I will give you a clue' Ginny said before getting up.
Suddenly, not knowing what made her do it she started dancing with thin air.
She had got a lot of practice because of the Yule Ball, but this time she was only messing around.
She heard Malfoy laughing behind her, and realised that she had got a little carried away, so she laughed and landed herself next to him.
'Any ideas?' She asked him
'I completely forgot about the ball, not that I'm going to go anyway. Should have thought that this is all that is going to be on peoples minds for the next two weeks'
'You not going? Aw and I bet Pansy was hoping that the Slytherin prince was going to whisk her off her feet on to the dance floor' She mocked
She looked at Malfoy to see a horrified expression fixed on his face.
'She… she ' He chocked 'She wants me to what?' he spat
Ginny cracked up laughing.
Ha ha! What a priceless moment. Never seen the little ferret look so scared.
'Calm down you little ferret, it was a joke ever heard of that?' She teased.
He glared at her for a moment then his face softened.
'So who are you going with the ball then little Weasel?' He asked her
'What makes you think I'm going?'
'Well seeing as Granger came up with the idea I thought you would be'
'Yea well I did offer to go for her, but she said she wouldn't put me through all of that. But you are a prefect so isn't it your duty to go?' Ginny asked
'Your point being…?'
'Wow so the ferret knows how to be a rebel. I really must have rubbed off on you' She smirked
He raised an eyebrow at her.
'Rubbed off on me? Weaslette I don't really what to know what your dreams about me include thanks…'
'Erugh! Don't be so disgusting. Just because you are to pussy to go to the ball, for no good reason'
'And what's your reason then?'
'I cant stand those things, and I don't really want to go with a boy who is only going to think about one thing. Oh and that's another thing, I don't have a date.' She told him honestly
'What boy are you thinking about? Wow if its Potter I never would have thought he had it in him…still obsessed with him then?' He smirked
'What? No! That was in like second year. Just because you always stay by Pansy twenty-four-seven'
'No actually I stay as far away from Pansy as I can, twenty-four-seven.'
'Ok whatever Malfoy…So what is your excuse?' She asked him
'Do I really need one? I helped to organise this stupid thing, it's going to be full of soppy teenagers that I would quite like to stay away from. And also the fact that if anyone found out I was going, Pansy would make sure I was her date' He told her honestly.
Ginny stood up, ready to leave to go for lunch, when a brilliant idea struck her.
Ok…oh wait! I have a BRILLIANT idea…even if I do say so myself, it would be funny to see Pansy's facewhenif she found out Malfoy had a date, and it wasnt her! haha I'm evil...'Fair enough. But I dare you to go. Take someone no one would have guessed you would take. Someone that will shock the whole school, keep them talking for ages. But… she cant be a Slytherin. OH and... you have to tell Pansy she isnt your date in front of every one'
Ha ha this will be funny. He is going to have a hard time finding someone. And it will be a bonus seeing Pansy's face
'You are saying I have to go to this stupid ball? You really do have high expectations' He said sarcastically'That's a pretty simple dare, even for you' He smirked
'How is it? I thought it was pretty good actually, I might come along just to laugh' She teased
'Fine. So anyway I wanted to ask you something' He looked at her 'No actually I wanted to dare you to do something'
Ginny looked at him quite confused.
'Go on then' She urged
'I dare you to be my date for the ball' he smiled
'WHAT? I'm not going so I cant sorry…'
What was that? AHH help! I do not want to go with him. All the Griffindor's will freak! Ron will freak! As will the other 2. Help, help, help!
'Don't be scared Weasley, I wont bite. But you asked me not to bring anyone in my own house, someone that would shock the whole school. And I think it would be quite funny watching all their faces when they see us together.' He smiled
Ginny almost laughed.
That really would be a priceless moment. I will- we will go down in history…ok well maybe not that far. It would be a laugh, Pansy would probably cry, and I would get to open the dance! How many people are going to be jealous…? Not that I really care.
'Ha ha fine Malfoy your on.' She said before walking away.
Ginny stopped just before the oak doors, and looked around to see Malfoy walking off towards the Quidditch pitch.
'OI!' She shouted
Wow I do a good impression of Ron…He turned round, not that far away with a confused expression on his face.
She ran up to him and threw her arms around him.
'Oh Dracie we are going to make the most perfect couple!' she squealed
And a good impression of PansyReleasing herself from his tense body she laughed and ran off, leaving Malfoy standing there half scared and half shocked.
Hey i hope this chappy was ok.
Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas
