Prompt #9: 7/17/17

460 words, according to Google docs.

"Malfoy, I swear you're going to get it some day!" Ginny Weasley furiously thrust her finger at the Slytherin, her fury mounting with every smirk on Malfoy's flawless face.

"Get what, Weasley?" She fought not to blush as he looked her up and down appraisingly. "Not much here, as far as I'm concerned."

"You ferret - impossible - UGH!" She gave in to the urge to stomp her foot and did so with great gusto, narrowly missing Malfoy's foot several times.

Of course, his only response was a raised eyebrow. And a step closer in her direction.

Suddenly apprehensive, Ginny took a cautious step back.

"Scared of the big, bad Slytherin, Weaslette?" Another step.

"N-no." Her stutter gave her away. She attempted another step back, but was halted by a wall conveniently (for Malfoy, not for her) positioned behind her.

"Oh, really?" Step. Arms. His arms (which, in fact, she did not just notice were very fine indeed - well-muscled and pale) boxed her in against the wall and he leaned forward, his mouth brushing the sensitive shell of one ear.

"W-what are you doing, Malfoy?"

He let out a sound not unlike a purr. "Making sure you never pull something like that again."

FLASH.

Ginny froze, unable to turn her head and look at the scene she knew was behind her. Malfoy, however, whipped his head around and, although Ginny couldn't see his expression, she could guess what he looked like.

"Creevy."

"Oh, dear," Ginny murmured, finally wiggling out from between the taller boy's body and the wall.

"Oi, Gin! Look at this! It almost looks like he's - " Colin cut himself off abruptly as he finally noticed the Slytherin glaring at him. "Oh." He turned to look at Ginny again.

She was glaring too. "Oh."

He began backing up slowly, his camera swinging from his neck and his eyes widening at the sight of the two furious people in front of him.

"Um… I'll just be going now…."

"Oh, no you won't." Malfoy's voice was dark, his fists clenching by his sides as he took a threatening step forward. "Give me that camera. Now." Colin clutched at the camera around his neck, his head shaking in silent refusal.

"Colin." Ginny's voice, although slightly less terrifying, was still taut with restrained anger. "Give up the camera."

He finally spoke up. "B-but I n-need this for the n-newspaper," he stammered in a high, nervous voice. Ginny and Draco both whipped their heads around to stare at each other.

"Newspaper?"

Colin used that moment to escape behind a tapestry they had unwittingly backed him up against.

Draco and Ginny were not pleased.
