"I was wondering what time I should pick you up tomorrow?" inquired Draco as he drifted away from the shadows he had been lurking in, waiting for Ginny to cross his path.
"How about quarter to never?" she hissed back. Draco smirked at the angry fire in the girl's brown eyes.
"May I remind you that we had a wager? One which you lost last night when Harry embraced and kissed Granger."
Ginny halted her steps and turned. She - like a fool - had made a bet with Malfoy of all people at the start of term. It was a simple bet and one she thought was a sure win for her, but obviously she had been mistaken. Instead of Harry confessing his love to her, or at least a Hogsmeade trip, he had asked Hermione to be his girlfriend. With that she had lost the bet and her rekindled crush on Harry turned to ash. Clearly they were not meant to be.
"No you don't have to remind me," she shot back. To Draco's delight the fire in her eyes had intensified by several degrees. Maybe she wasn't still pinning after Potter after all. The thought give him hope.
"But I was clearly out of my mind when I made that bet and I'm not going on a date with you."
Draco pushed back the disappointment that threatened to overcome him. Malfoy's didn't admit defeat. Not this early in any case.
"Welching on a bet, Weaslette?" he smirked as Ginny's glare intensified. Merlin she looked truly delectable when angry.
"I don't welch on my bets." she corrected taking a step closer to Draco. Probably wanting to intimate rather then amuse, but Draco found it anything than intimating. His wicked grin conveyed as much.
"Fine," Ginny huffed. "Seven. Pick me up at seven."
He reminded himself that he shouldn't kiss her, not yet, and nodded. "Seven it is."
Draco stayed and watched as she continued down the corridor. Enjoying his view of the fiery witch that would soon be his. If he kept playing his cards right and keep Potter at bay with modified amortentia spiked pumpkin juice.
