Hey! Thank you "Invisible little me" for the idea of this little story. I
wrote it and added on to it though. Gonna be a D/G fic as most can probably
tell by the summary. I think I'm gonna keep this one short and "sweet". I'm
not sure though. Depends on how much feedback I get and where the story
takes itself. I don't write it my stories. It seems they always have a life
of their own...
Chapter One: Virginia
Draco scanned the Great Hall. He was getting so incredibly bored these days. Both Crabbe and Goyle had been expelled (Draco couldn't see why it hadn't happened sooner) so he never had many people to boss around anymore. Potter and his stupid little friends just ignored him now instead of retaliating so all the joy of making fun of them seemed to fade. Hogwarts had gotten SO boring...until just recently. About a month ago, he had found someone else who was a good target, if not better. He watched as she made her way out of the hall. She was so easily angered that bugging her was like a game he constantly played and won. And no one could beat him.
He quickly excused himself and headed in the direction that she had. Making sure to keep his distance so one wouldn't mistake him for following her. He pulled out his wand and performed a simple spell causing her book bag to split open. Books, quills, and inkbottles clattered to the floor. Her tiny group of friends stopped and waited for her as she bent down to retrieve her things. Making sure he was quiet enough so as not to cause her to look up, he headed toward them. Draco set his foot down on a book she was reaching for.
"I'd expect your bag to be cheap, seeing as you're a Weasley and all," he said. She turned her head up at him.
"Go away Malfoy," she said angrily. He smiled down at her.
"Aw, why the long face? Your loser boyfriend, Creevey, broke up with you, eh Virginia?" he said, knowing he was right. He had seen her run out to the grounds crying the other night but hadn't had the chance to talk to her until now.
"Go AWAY Malfoy," she said firmly, turning a bit red.
"Oh, but I don't really feel like it," he replied. Ginny's friends were looking at them with concern for Ginny. The tallest one stepped forward.
"Shove off, Malfoy. Why don't you pick on someone you own..."
"Shut UP, Green. I know having the biggest mouth in the whole school gives you some kind of RIGHT to talk but HONESTLY," she immediately backed away. Ginny looked back at them.
"You guys can go. I'll catch up. I can handle Malfoy," she said quietly. Slowly, they nodded and started heading down the hall.
"Oh, can you now?"
She didn't pay attention him and finished grabbing her stuff. She got up and started walking after her friends. Draco stared at the red head for a second and then hurried to catch up with her.
"Virginia, don't ignore me," he said taking hold of her arm. She shook him off and kept walking. This was making him annoyed.
"Quite calling me that," she said, not looking back at him.
"But your name is so SPECIAL. It describes exactly what you are, VIRGINia," he said smiling. He looked down at her hands as she clenched and unclenched them. He walked up to her resting a hand on the small of her back. She tensed underneath him. He leaned in close to her.
"You gonna hit me?" he whispered in her ear. He trailed his hand down her spine. He felt her shiver.
"I DARE you," he smiled as she closed her eyes and whimpered. He put his arms around her waist and slowly started to bring his arms higher on her torso.
"Come on,"
She jerked away from him and before he knew what was happening he found himself on the ground looking up at her. He put his hand up to his face but received a surge of pain. He pulled it away and looked down at it. His whole hand was covered in blood.
"You bitch. You really did it. How...where the hell did you learn to punch that hard?" he said in pain.
"How dare you touch me?" she replied. Her face was as red as her hair, concealing her freckles. She looked furious. "You pig..." she started shacking her head and backing away.
"Miss Weasley stop right there!" someone called. Draco turned his head around to see to figures walking towards them. Professor Snape and McGonagall.
"We saw everything. Explain yourself young lady," Professor McGonagall said, her lips turning the smallest of thin lines. Draco's face fell. Had they seen EVERYthing? This wasn't looking to good for him at the moment.
"Professor he..." Ginny started, her eyes watering for some reason. Snape cut her off.
"I saw enough. You punched Draco. That's against school rules. 50 points from Gryffindor and a...months worth of detentions," he said, icily. Draco saw Ginny's lip quiver. What a baby...
"But professor he..."
"No buts Weasley," McGonagall stepped in now.
"Severus, I think that Draco should get punishment too. Obviously, he taunted her," she said. Snape stared at her. Draco looked up at both of them, he was still on the ground.
"Minerva, she could have permanently damaged him,"
"Oh, his pretty little face will be fine. After he goes up to the hospital wing to get healed then he can have detention also. It's only fair,"
"But Minerva..."
"Professor PLEASE can I go to the hospital wing?" Draco finally spoke up. He was holding his nose, which was drenched in blood.
"Of course. Miss Weasley, YOU may assist him and possibly try to set aside your differences for now. You'll be spending every night for the next month together," Snape said, helping Draco up.
Draco started heading down the hall and reluctantly Ginny followed. They stayed quite clear from each other. Draco, not wanting to get hit again. And Ginny had her own reasons. After a few minutes Draco heard something come from her direction. He looked over at her, careful not to get blood on his robes. A tear slid down her cheek. He sighed.
"Come ON Weasley, what are you crying for now? Don't tell me that was your first detention or something," he said getting annoyed. HE should be the one crying. His nose hurt like hell. He saw her nod.
"And not only is it my first," she said very quietly, rather to herself than to Draco. "But it's a whole months worth and for something I didn't even do," Draco let out a puff of breath.
"You PUNCHED me! It's totally all your fault...Virginia," he said. He saw her eyes flare again and smirked.
"It is not! The only reason I did was because you were...well, you.." she paused and looked down at the ground. Draco looked over at her and scowled.
"I didn't do anything to you that you didn't like,"

"Way to go, Gin!" Ron clapped her hard on the back. She had just arrived at dinner that night from being in the hospital wing with Malfoy. They had both entered the Great Hall at the same time. Whispering had filled the hall when everyone saw Draco. Since he had been fighting, Mrs. Pomfrey thought that it would do him good to heal without magic. And since he had broken it, there was a large cast like thing on his nose. The second Ron had seen him he let out a loud laugh and asked Ginny what had happened when she had reached the table. And, quietly, she had replied, "I hit him," Now she was surrounded by Harry and Ron, being congratulated.
"Oh man! I've been wanting to do that so bad ALL year! But Hermione over here's all like 'No, fighting is only what he wants. If you ignore him he'll get bored and leave you alone'" he mimicked Hermione in a high pitched voice causing her to frowned at him.
"We never thought it would actually work and he'd go after you," put in Harry. "So, what did he do that sent you over the edge?" he asked curiously.
"Nothing," she whispered. Harry and Ron looked over at each other and Ron became the overprotective brother that he was.
"Ginny, what did he do?" he asked, looking at her. She shook her head, not making eye contact with him.
"No,"
"Ginny, tell me now," Ron said, taking hold of her shoulders. She said something very quietly that he didn't her.
"What?"
"He..he tried to..touch me," she said again bowing her head. Ron stood up furiously.
"He did WHAT?!" his eyes flashed. He swiveled his head toward the Slytherin table.
"I'm going to KILL him!" he started to make his way to the other side of the room. Ginny grabbed his hand, holding him back.
"Ron, stop. It's not the way you were thinking it was. I overreacted...that's all,"
She had been scared, and that's why she had punched him. But the thing that scared her the most was what he had said before they entered the Hospital Wing.
'I didn't do anything to you that you didn't like,' he had said. Ginny shivered, he had been partly right. No one had ever done that to her and she found that she didn't NOT like it. If it had been someone else, Harry maybe, she wouldn't have reacted the way she had. But, back when it had happen she had been confused why she didn't mind Malfoy doing that, and that's when she had hit him. That had felt even better, to see him lying on the ground in pain, bleeding everywhere. It turns out living with six brothers has its advantages.
******
Draco sat in his bed that night unable to get to sleep. He was too afraid he'd roll over and break his nose even more. How was he suppose to spend the next month with that woman?
He thought of what had caused her to hit him. He had totally crossed the line. Even thought he loved annoying her, that had been going to far. But he wasn't about to admit that he was wrong. He lied back in the pillows and sighed.
"Ah, man. What have I done?"
A/N!: Yes, I know that was short. I just wanted to get it up today. The next chapters will all be much longer. I really want a reviews for this. It will be better I promise you. This was just to get the story going. The next chapters are going to have the detentions and all that good stuff. If I made any mistakes or like someone's out of character or something, please tell me so I can fix it. LYL. See ya in the next chapter!
