Ginny rechecked her coat to make sure the heating spell she placed on it was still working before she made her way out of her dorm room. She was going to swing through the coffee shop for a latte then find a comfy chair in the common area to curl up and read

Comments

Ginny tensed up to the point she thought she might snap in two when Draco circled around her, looking her over as if she were cattle he was deciding to buy or not. She clenched her hand around the strap of her back in an attempt to keep her temper under control.

Ginny was the hardest of the Weasley clan to get to loose her cool, but when she did she railed just as much and as violently as the others. Right now Draco was getting ever closer to making her loose her cool. The blood traitor comment brought her temper from a low boil to a full on simmer. If he made another comment or two like that, Ginny wasn't sure if she could keep it together.

She grit her teeth together when he then proceeded to ask her where to take his paper work. She was about to snap something hopefully scathing at him when she realized what was up. Draco was new to the school and lost. And he was asking her for directions. This was priceless. That realization took her temper down a notch.

"Lost Malfoy?" She asked with contempt in her voice. "I'd figure such a charming pureblood like yourself could manage to find the front office on his own." She added a condescending chuckle for good measure, and more insult, before starting to walk on.

Ginny roller he eyes at him and kept walking. She had only gotten a few feet when his voice stopped her once more. She turned around and saw her bracelet in his hand. It must have fallen off when she tripped. She would obviously need to take a look at the clasp after this to make sure it doesn't happen again.

"Um...yeah. It is." She was completely taken off guard over the fact Malfoy had picked up her bracelet, let alone asked if it was hers. Who would have thought that malfoy had a decent bone in his body. She sure hadn't.

She walked back over to him and held out her hand. "May I have it back please."

[sweetginevra]

Ginny tried to suppress the need to roll her eyes at Draco's antics when he gave her back her bracelet. The fact he had given it back to her at all was down right amazing. His speechlessness was even more so.

When he turned to walk on, in the wrong direction, Ginny let her smile show. Wither Draco Malfoy knew it or not, he was being hilarious right then. Well as hilarious as Ginny could ever find him. She allowed him to get a little farther away from her before she called out.

"Hey Malfoy! The front office is that way!" She pointed to her left as she yelled out to him.

[sweetginevra]

Ginny lowered her arm when Malfoy started walking but the smile wouldn't leaver her face. Not that she was trying too hard to remove it. This was still Malfoy after all. When he started giving her etiquette notes she couldn't reign in her amusement any longer.

She started to laugh but the look on Malfoy's face made her try and swallow her laugh at the last minute. This caused her to let out a loud and very unladylike snort instead. This snort also caused a bit of a coughing fit. She doubled over with her hands braced on her knees.

She stood there like that, looking like a complete and utter fool in front of Malfoy, alternating between coughing and barely controlled giggles. She was being completely undone. She knew Malfoy had a talent for pushing her over the edge but that was normally in anger not in hysterics.

Ginny tried to control her laughter. She really did. But Malfoy standing there in utter confusion after just having given her etiquette lessons was still too much for Ginny to bare. Her coughing started to subside as she took in gulps of air in between giggles.

By the time Malfoy was proclaiming her a lost cause she was nearly under control. She cautiously stood up and faced him. Her features were schooled to almost neutral but her amusement was still poking through. "Sorry Malfoy, but you giving me etiquette lessons about being a lady is hilarious. And while you might consider me a lost cause, you have yet to walk away."

She gave him a huge smirk as she added insult to injury. "I think that shows you really do care."
