"We're in!" stated Anna, full of excitement as she poked a cinnamon roll around her plate. Ginny regarded her with curiosity. Anna sighed dramatically. "We have a date with the lovely men of Slytherin. Eight o'clock sharp!" Her glance drifted away for a moment, and she winked at a rather handsome and fit looking boy sitting a few seats away. He gave her a cocky grin in return. Ginny shook her head. Not really her type, but she figured they would make a cute couple.
A smile rose to Ginny's lips, remembering the hint that Draco dropped before he left. The ball was in her court. Her own eyes drifted to a boy with blond hair. He turned to her, feeling the heat of her gaze. She gave him a sweet little smile, devising a plan in her mind as he regarded her with a cool curiosity. A pale eyebrow rose, daring her to look away first. She would let him win for now; she would let him believe he was stronger than her. Her eyes drifted down to her lap, a pose of innocence. A secret smile graced her lips, hidden from his view.
Ginny stood in front of Anna's gilded, antique mirror, fidgeting as Anna tugged at her auburn hair. She was wearing one of Anna's old dressed, a thin, gossamer dress that was a pale green. "You look so sweet, Gin," stated Anna as she pulled Ginny's hair into a half pony tail, clipping the curls into place with a small, crystal rose barrette. Tendrils framed her pale red face. The dress was cute, but the neckline plunged a bit lower than she was used to. She tried to take comfort in the fact that she looked like an angel next to Anna who was dress in a sleek, strapless black dress.
"Ready?" asked Anna, placing her hands gently on Ginny's shoulders. Ginny nodded, taking a deep breath. It was show time.
Anna looped her arm through Ginny's and guided her down the hall, taking her time to reach the boys' dorm. After all, they didn't want to seem too eager. Finally, they reached the dorm, the door propped open, a warm fire blazing inside. Anna directed them to the sofas where the boys were lounging. She sat down next to Nott, who had his feet propped up on the coffee table and his arms draped over the back of the sofa. Ginny fell gracefully across from them next to Draco. She placed her legs across his lap, resting her body against the arm of the sofa. Draco eyed her long, porcelain legs.
Nott laughed as Anna snuggled into his side. "Seems like you're a bit distracted, mate." He tossed a pillow at Draco who caught it in the air. "Not at all," he replied, looking over at them. "Settling in alright?" he asked, turning to Ginny, his eyes piercing.
"Oh yes, today was most intriguing. Snape nearly had a fit when half his class failed to appear," Ginny replied, sending Anna a conspiratorial glance.
A terrible place to end this, but I've been super busy. Chapters might be short. I'll do my best to keep updating this when I have time! Love you all!
