Chapter Three
Trouble With Charms.
It was broken. Draco knew that could be the only explantation as to why his wand wasn't doing the spells he wanted it to. Right?
Draco sighed. He had about three more hours before he had to be asleep and nothing was going his way. None of the charms he'd been trying were working. He was trying a realtively simple Navigatio spell, designed to navigate the oceans. Alright so it might have been a bit more effective if he had actually been in the ocean on a ship or if he knew where he was supposed to be finding, but those were just details. The ocean bit never stopped bloody Granger.
Or Luna Lovegood... Or Ginny Weasley...
Draco allowed himself a breather and turned his thoughts to the red head in question. He refused to admit to himself that he'd given her that frog out of anything other than pure pity. He pitied the girl. Being that poor and good looking. A lot of guys would be tempted to take advantage of a pretty young girl like her. She was a lesbian and needed the touch of the right guy to turn her straight. Most men would take that as an open invitation.
Most men would ignore the horror stories about what had happened to the last guy who'd been so sure of himself.
On occasion Draco allowed himself to be suspect to rumors. Most rumors included those surrounding a one Ginevra Weasley.
Draco had crossed blades with Ginny more than once. She was a vivacious little number who would stop at nothing to achieve her desires. Well almost nothing. She was a fair hand at charms, potions and Defense against the Dark Arts, if his sources were reliable. Which they usually were.
Ginny was single. Had been since she and Lovegood broke it off. That was about a year ago and Draco was suprised Ginny hadn't dated since then. There were plenty of girls who wouldn't mind dating Ginny, even if they were more straight than Ginny.
Draco shifted his thoughts to her best friend and once lover, Luna Lovegood. Luna was a dreamy individual. She was a little insane, but her heart was in the right place and she kept her grades up to par, so...
Draco sighed again and picked up his wand. He had a little less than three hours and a couple new spells to master.
(A/N: Um... hurrah for shortness? Sorry about that. I really wanted to make it longer, but I was a bit pinched on time. Thanks to all who reviewed! (bounces around on a cloud of love)
Specially to FinestWinterCold- Since this fic is going to be really really long, and the bet is only the start of everything. I wanted to establish some of the relationships before I get into the real plot. But believe me, it will get better!
