Most of the changes were made in this chapter, and the next. I tried to merge some of them in my attempt to re-write this fic and make it "better". I hope you guys still like it. :)

Chapter 2

"So… how are you and Dave going?" Ginny asked Lavender conversationally as they walked slowly towards the courtyard to meet Parvati and her 'husband'.

"Fine." Lavender shrugged casually, but her nonchalance was soon betrayed by her glittering eyes. "We're meeting for dinner. How bout you and Draco?"

Ginny's face contorted into disgust. "Please. If I were you, I wouldn't be surprised if Malfoy ends up in the Hospital Wing any time soon. But it is nice to know you're getting along well with Dave."

"I almost feel sorry for Malfoy." Lavender replied sympathetically. "Oh look, there's Parvati!" She waved.

Parvati looked all glow-y, sitting on a picnic blanket under a humongous tree, Blaise right beside her.

"Hey! How are you guys?" Parvati asked.

"Great!" Lavender replied.

"If you took no heed of my murderous thoughts, you could say I'm feeling just peachy" Ginny answered flatly.

"Malfoy can't be that bad." Parvati smiled at her reassuringly.

"Oh yes he is. He's more than that bad." Ginny sighed and plopped down to sit opposite Parvati.

"No he isn't."

Ginny turned to gaze at her friend's husband, a 'what-do-you-expect?' look on her face. Of course he would defend Draco. They were best friends.

"Oh, sure, I suppose he could be considered a decent human being if he we broke his arms and legs, blinded him and permanently removed his vocal chords." Ginny replied flatly.

"Speaking of Malfoy…" Lavender trailed off.

Ginny turned to the direction Lavender was looking at. And he just had to be making out with a Ravenclaw.

"Grace Witherward?" Blaise's face contorted into disgust.

"Is he that desperate?" Parvati wrinkled her nose.

"I thought students who engaged in public displays of affection with a person who isn't their spouse get points deducted from their project?" Lavender asked, a bemused expression on her face. "But then again, I could be wrong."

"What?! I don't want any points deducted from my grade!" Ginny shrieked.

Getting up quickly and ignoring or probably not noticing the leaves stuck to her skirt, she hurried towards the snogging couple.

"Oh… he's in for it now." Lavender exclaimed rather gleefully. She did enjoy Malfoy's verbal bashings as much as the next person. Especially when it was being done my Ginny Weasley.

"Oh? Interesting." Blaise smirked.

"Malfoy you adulterous, obnoxious prat! What kind of a husband are you?! If you want to cheat on me, learn to do it properly! You may be losing us valuable points here!" Not finding any more English words to say, she started screaming at him in Spanish. "Next time you have the urge to indulge in impure activities, GO FIND A ROOM!" She finished, huffing and stormed back to her friends.

"You sure told him." Parvati congratulated her as the redhead had seemingly calmed down.

"Stupid git deserved it." She grumbled. "I meant every word I said."

"Where'd you learn to speak in Spanish?"

"Oh." Ginny grinned at the unexpected comment. "It helps when you have a large family. You get relatives from all over the world, some cousins who don't even know how to speak in English so the only way to communicate with them is to learn their language. Ron on the other hand, would rather say a few idiotic phrases to communicate with them."

Blaise snorted. "Figures."

"Hey, isn't that Dave?" Ginny asked, pointing at a guy with golden hair.

"Oh yeah! Hey Dave!" Lavender grinned, waving at her husband.

He spotted her, grinned and walked over.

"Hey." He greeted with a gorgeous half smile.

"Take a seat." Lavender patted the space beside her.

Dave happily obeyed.

"So… who are your friends?" He asked.

"That's Parvati…and you should know Blaise…and that fuming redhead is Ginny."

"Hey." He nodded at them. "What's up with Ginny?"

"She's afraid Malfoy's PDA with this Ravenclaw may pull down their grade." Parvati informed him.

Both of Dave's eyebrows rose up. "What? So she's not mad at him for cheating on her?"

"I'm mad at him!" Ginny replied indignantly. "Only for a different reason."

"If I remember correctly, she advised him to cheat on her properly and go find a room." Blaise supplied.

Dave laughed. "Wish I'd seen that."

"Oh look… Grace's flirting with him again." Lavender announced.

They turned to watch Grace toy with Draco's tie slyly and whisper something in their ear. They both got up and headed for the castle.

"I'm happy he took my advice…and my threats seriously." Ginny said, a self-satisfied look on her face.

"What exactly did you tell him?" Parvati asked.

"Let's just say it has something to do with a few well placed hexes and castration."

Lavender snickered. "And how would you happen to know how to perform those hexes?"

Ginny smirked. "Extensive reading of course."

The moment the two had entered the Ravenclaw Common Room, Grace fused mouths with Draco, depriving him of his air and kissing him a bit violently, with a lot more wetness than he could be comfortable with. Disgusted, Draco pushed her roughly away.

Seeing this as a come on, Grace slithered back him, only to be pushed away again.

"What?" She asked the annoyance obvious in her voice as she reapplied her lip gloss.

Draco ignored her and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Grace demanded.

"Away from you." Draco replied coolly. "Bye." Draco nodded at her and narrowly missed the shoe Grace threw at him in frustration.

"Agh!!!" She screamed.

"Your husbands are nice. Not like someone I know whose name I am not mentioning." Ginny commented. "I don't know why I have to get stuck with such a worthless prat."

"He's not worthless. It's always nice to stare at him." Parvati pointed out.

"What about Blaise? He wouldn't feel so happy when he finds out you think his best friend is hot." Lavender said.

"He's hot too. Burning hot. Really, really, really hot." Parvati's eyes glazed over.

Lavender and Ginny snickered.

"Weasley!"

Funny, that voice sounded an awful lot familiar.

Ginny whirled around.

"Oh. It's you. Aren't you supposed to be making out with some random girl in the privacy of your bedroom or something?" Ginny folded her arms across her chest.

"Aren't you supposed to be kissing Potter's feet or something?" He retorted.

"Why you-" Ginny moved to tackle him.

Draco tried to avoid her but ended up falling on top of her when she grabbed onto his robes for support.

They stared at each other for a while, faces only inches apart.

Someone coughed behind them.

They both craned their necks to see Parvati looking around, pretending she wasn't there and Lavender studying her perfectly manicured nails, looking smug.

Draco quickly got up and dusted off his robes.

Ginny stayed on the floor, waiting for Draco to offer her a hand.

"Ahem." She cleared her throat.

Draco turned to look at her, a nonchalant expression on his face. "Yes?" He could have fooled anyone with the innocent expression on his face.

"Try to be a nice, useful husband and help me up." Ginny demanded through gritted teeth.

"Why?"

"Because I'm your wife and it is a well-known fact that men follow their wife's every command. It's an unwritten law."

"Well, I'm not like any other man." Draco replied haughtily.

"Okay. So you're gay. Maybe filing a divorce would have been a good idea after all."

Draco pulled Ginny up roughly.

"I am not gay. The very notion is simply… ludicrous!" Draco spat out.

Ginny laughed. "Whatever Malfoy. Well, bye!"

"Yeah. Whatever you cunning Gryffindor trollop." He muttered and walked away.
