Ginny sat staring at the screen of the computer. They were four days into the holidays and she was yet to e-mail her partner. Harry had been over the day before to show the family how to use it. She slouched in her seat and opened up the internet and typed in the schools address. Closely followed by her username and password.
She hoped fate had been kind and gifted her a nice normal e-mail partner, preferably a male. She wasn't very good with her own gender. One of the downfalls of having six older very boisterous brothers.
She had laughed when Ron had received Gabrielle from her herbology class. It wasn't that Gabrielle wasn't a sweet girl, for she was. It was that she happened to know Gabrielle had been infatuated with Ron from day one and he hadn't a clue who she was.
In her inbox was an e-mail from the school, most likely informing her who her e-pal to be was. She was a little put out however that her partner had not already e-mailed her. She slid the mouse across the small screen and double clicked on the e-mail.
Dear Miss Weasley,
We are pleased that you have managed to access your school e-mail. Your partner is Draco Malfoy. Please contact Mr Malfoy as soon as possible if he has not already e-mailed you. You will find his e-mail address in your 'Friends List'.
Good day,
Professor Dumbledore
Ginny shook her head in disbelief. This could not be happening. What idiot partnered her with Malfoy? Did they not know there was bad blood between the two? How on earth did somebody not know?
Well at least she knew now why her partner hadn't contacted her yet. Either a) He was being an idiotic pureblood and completely dumbfounded by the Muggle contraption or b) He had discovered who his partner was and was being an idiotic pureblood and refused to e-mail her first. Either way he was being a idiotic pureblood, she thought to herself with a small smile on her face.
She opened up a new e-mail and began to type because unlike Malfoy she was going to be the bigger person. She was going to make the first move.
Malfoy.
It is unfortunate that we have been paired together for Professor Dumbledore's little experiment but I dare say this is most likely for credit so you better co-operate or you shall live to regret it.
Ginny clicked send and had a small grin on her face. It had said exactly what she wanted. It was short, sweet and to the point. Just like her.
