"He's staring at you, you know." Luna's dreamy voice penetrated Ginny's cluttered thoughts, bringing her back to the present as they sat in Charms.

"Who?" Ginny shook her head briefly before looking up and following Luna's gaze. She groaned, dropping her head to its original position in her arms. "Oh, great. Not him again." Luna smiled patiently.

"He's a Malfoy," she said. "He always gets what he wants in the end." Ginny's head shot up again - she winced as her neck cracked slightly.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" she asked sharply. Luna shrugged, giving one of her half-smiles.

"Whatever you want it to mean, I guess." Shaking her head at her friend's vagueness, Ginny settled for glancing at Malfoy occasionally through the corner of her eye. He was not staring. At least, that's what she told herself.

As she and Luna exited the classroom, Ginny put a hand on the Ravenclaw's arm. "I've got a couple things to say to that ferrety brat over there - make sure Ron doesn't come looking for me, okay?" Luna nodded, a knowing twinkle in her eye, and continued on her way to the Great Hall for lunch.

"You wanted to speak with me?" Spinning around, Ginny huffed as she saw the target of her ire leaning casually against the wall next to her, smirking slightly. So much for taking him by surprise.

"Why - " she thrust a finger at his face - "were you staring at me during class?" Noticing their extreme height differences, she tried to make herself appear taller, tilting her chin imperiously and glaring at him. He lifted an infuriating eyebrow.

"What would you do if I told you I was staring at the interesting piece of dust on the wall above your right shoulder?" Ginny shook her head, tut-tutting slightly.

"Excuses, excuses." Malfoy's smirk broadened.

"Your friend Loony was making ugly faces at me the entire time?" he offered.

"Are you even trying to think?"

"I happen to find Flitwick's wall decorations fascinating?"

"That was a pathetic excuse for an excuse, Malfoy."

"What if I said you're extremely attractive when you're angry?" Ginny started to roll her eyes again when his words actually sunk in.

"I - what?"

"You heard me."

Ginny, deciding the conversation had not gone as she had originally planned, fled the scene.
