Chapter Six
Why is Malfoy Checking you Out?
Ginny gathered her crimson hair in her hands and pulled it in a twist over her right shoulder. She released it and focused her attention once more on the problem before her.
She saw Hermione sit down out of the corner of her eye and absently pushed the nearest book toward her.
"Seventeen potions for Love." Hermione read.
"Trying to give me a hint?"
Ginny smirked. "Nah. You don't need it. A realization spell, maybe, at least for Ron."
"Yeah, he's realized he loves Lavnder."
"He'll come around."
"They said that about Hitler."
"Well he did."
"Ginny, he shot himself in the head."
"Exactly. He saw the world was better off with out him and rid the world of that problem."
Hermione laughed softly. Then her face took on a concerned look. Ginny followed her gaze and saw Draco Malfoy. He seemed to feel their gaze and smiled charmingly at them before taking a seat across the study hall.
Ginny turned back to her friend. "Ignore him. He might go away."
Hermione smiled and they continued on their work, Hermione writing an essay on the best love potion and Ginny on the Historical signifigance of Dragon root in potions.
Ginny was nearly finished with her essay when...
"Ginny?"
She looked up at the other girl.
"I don't mean to alarm you, but did you know that Draco Malfoy is checking you out?"
Ginny slowly turned her head to look at the blonde. Sure enough he was watching her as he pretended to work on his own homework. Ginny returned the interest and he smirked.
She returned to her work. After a bit she managed to convince Hermione to go hang with Ron and Harry. She finished her paper and looked over it. Suddenly a finger entered her vision, pointing to a misspelled word.
"You'll wanna fix that." Purred the voice of Draco Malfoy.
Ginny watched him walk away and had to wonder why this situation reeked of Luna.
