A/N: Here goes!
"Did you see the LOOK on her FACE!"
The instant they were out of the Great Hall, Ginny practically fell over laughing. Even Draco smiled.
"She's had it coming." Draco stated, trying to not let too much of his mirth show. Ginny looked up at him with her big green eyes, she was considerably sobered, but she still had a slight bounce in her step.
"I don't understand. If you don't like her, then why do you and Blaise even put up with her?"
"My father and her father are friends." Draco simply stated as his lips pressed together and his steps became brisker. She matched his pace.
"So? That doesn't mean you have to like her."
"As it turns out, it does. From before I could walk, I've been forced to stand her presence." By one glance, he could tell Ginny didn't understand.
"How come?" She asked, bemused. Draco sighed.
"The Parkinson's have always expected Pansy to marry a rich, well-bred pure blood. Since our fathers share the same "ideals" so they figured it was only natural to put us together." A scowl graced his perfect face.
"So… you two are gonna get married? But you don't even like her!" This elicited a snort from him.
"It was never my choice to begin with… and she sure isn't arguing."
"That… inconvenient." This gained a short laugh from him.
"Quite."
"Do you think she'll be a problem, you know, for us?"
"Don't expect her to be civil, but the most she'll do is whine, and pout, and scream." He snuck a glance at her hair. "And possibly cut off all of your hair in the middle of the night, but nothing too cruel." Her eyes narrowed.
"Ha. Ha. Ha!" She tried to sound harsh, but there was a smile tugging at her lips.
They walked in silence for a couple of moments. Before she stopped and faced him.
"So, what now? What's the next step?"
"You mean, besides acting like the happiest, sexiest couple who've ever entered Hogwarts?" He whispered in her ear, while smirking suggestively, slipping his arm around her waist and pulling her hips close to his. There was no audience to see them now, but she let him.
"Yes, I mean besides that." They both smiled, and he released her and they continued walking.
"I was thinking that since we didn't really get a chance to eat, we should stop by the kitchens for a little bit to eat."
"Sounds good. Let's go." Changing direction they started heading to the kitchens. He slipped his arm around her waist again. Not because he wanted to, just to keep up appearances… even if there was no one there to witness them, you never know.
A/N: I'm SO SORRY it took this long to update! I've just been so caught up in everything going on right now that I haven't really found the time. Things should start getting fun again next chapter, but I can't just jump from the beginning right into the plot, where's the fun in that? Anyways, I know it's been awhile, but if you guys could not kill me, that'd be great. And remember, PLEASE REVIEW!
