CHAPTER IX

In Which There Are Jibes At The Griffindor Table

And once again, Draco Malfoy was seated at the Grffindor table. Harry and Hermione had not even bothered to blink an eye at this strange habit he seemed to be forming.

No one at the table had fully grasped the miraculous change that had transformed the fabulously gorgeous Malfoy heir into this (almost) kind-hearted wizard.

Ron was late to the table again. He gave an exasperated sigh on seeing Draco sitting opposite the empty place that was flanked on either side by Harry and Hermione. The space reserved for Ginny he thought.

It's too early in the morning for this Ron rubbed his eyes sleepily. He caught sight of Pansy at the Ravenclaw table, laughing away as Luna nodded emphatically at something she said.

He smiled and took his seat as Blaise and Ginny, comparatively late-risers, approached the Griffindor table laughing at a private joke.

'Morning' said Blaise, his smile widening at Mione. She smiled back at him as he took the seat reserved for Ginny.

Draco cleared his throat, his eyes telling Blaise to "bugger off."

Blaise turned to the redhead behind him and apologized.

Ginny smiled cheerfully. 'That's right Zabini, ladies first!'

'Eve came after Adam' commented Draco absently.

Harry grinned as though Christmas had come early.

'Quick!' he smirked, 'somebody, count his ribs!'

Blaise chuckled as Draco paled.

'So Malfoy' Hermione started, and Draco had the faint hope that Hermione might change the topic; 'Why did you jump at Ginny yesterday?'

'She pulled him closer love, weren't you paying attention?' said Blaise, feigning innocence.

'Oh yes! But still;' she turned to Blaise, 'does he always believe in keeping his friends close?'

'Enemies closer?' Blaise smirked, pretending to be lost in thought.

Draco looked ready to hurt him.

'Maybe Ginny has that effect' commented Hermione.

Ginny looked ready to wound Hermione.

'Girls like bad guys' added Harry.

'But Ginny only went on with Griffindors till now' piped up Neville.

'Or maybe she wasn't telling us' added Seamus, on Neville's other side, his eyes widening in mock shock.

This is not happening Ginny gritted her teeth.

'See Draco here can change that. He could dance his way into her heart.' commented Blaise seriously.

'Oi Ginny, you dance right?' called out Dean.

'Could you all stop trying to discuss my kid sister's love life?' Ron hissed.

'Draco loves Ginny?' Hermione asked tactlessly, her eyes alight with mischief.

Ginny blushed as Harry, Blaise, Seamus and Dean roared with laughter.

And at the Teacher's table, all but Professor Dumbledore weren't pleased at what was transpiring.
