Draco glanced toward the mirror, and then ran his hands through his silver blonde hair as he turned away and pulled his shirt over his head with a sigh. For some reason, nothing in his closet seemed to look right today. He stripped out of his dress slacks and pulled on a pair of jeans Ginny had talked him into buying, and threw on a black wife beater. He arranged his hair into a careful disarray and pulled on some muggle shoes. Maybe it wasn't the look he was going for, but those damned muggles sure knew a thing or two about comfort. He grabbed his charms book and strutted out the door.
As he neared the Slytherin's favorite spot by the lake, he heard Ginny's musical laugh along with an unfamiliar chuckle. Draco looked up to see his somewhat girlfriend accompanied by none other than the infamous duo, Potter and the Weasel. He paused, leaning on a tree a few feet away and attempted not to look like he was evesdropping.
"Harry, there's no way Mione's going to dump Fred for you," Ginny giggled.
"She just doesn't know how perfect we'd be together yet. C'mon Gin, what happened to you being my biggest fan?" Harry teased.
"She's too far up Malfoy's a…"
"RON!" Ginny shrieked. Draco glanced across the lake to see Hermione and Luna exit the castle and head in the direction of the other three teens.
"Oh come on, Gin. Do you seriously think he isn't messing around with half the school whenever your back is turned? Just this morning I saw him feeling up Cho."
"I highly doubt that," Ginny smirked. She glanced in Draco's direction, meeting his grey eyes and shooting him a flirty half smile before saying something to Harry. Draco transfigured a nearby lily pad from the lake into a large blanket, and proceeded to make himself comfortable. He looked up to see her eyes fixed on his form. With a smirk, he tore off his fourth shirt of the day and turned his face to the sun, flexing his stomach. He'd never been much of a person for sleeveless shirts anyways. He heard her sharp intake of breath as he forced himself to tune back in to the conversation.
"See? He's clearly got you brainwashed. Why don't you consider going out with someone who will be faithful for a change?" Ron whined, recapturing Ginny's attention as a look of pure annoyance crossed her sun kissed features as Hermione and Luna approached the group. Suddenly, her expression brightened as she turned to her former brother, and placed her hand on his arm, stepping closer to him until they were face to face.
"Sure, if you could be a doll and give Shay my number, I'm sure he'd be pleased," Ginny winked.
Harry doubled over in laughter, reaching for the nearby tree for support as Ron's face went red. Hermione and Luna joined in the laughter, causing both boys to jump. All of Harry's attention went immediately to Hermione, making sure she was comfortable enough to study out under the warm rays. Ginny politely chatted with Ron and Luna for a few more minutes, then excused herself.
"I wondered when you'd come harass me," Draco smirked as she approached.
"Well, darling, you were next on my list," she smiled, taking time to trail her eyes down his pale form once more before moving to sit down on the blanket as Draco sat up and swept his favorite redhead into his arms. The pair adjusted themselves until they were comfortable, then let out a collective sigh.
"Now, this is more like it," Draco thought. He placed his chin on Ginny's shoulder and the pair looked out over the lake.
Suddenly, a flash caught the pair off guard. They looked up to see Colin's trademark grin plastered on his too small face.
"Yearbook," he shrugged, then kneeled down with the camera in front of his face. "Now smile," he instructed.
