Challenges, challenges, challenges galore! I just love challenges! This is my second one of the three stories I have! This one will be more than one shot, and I may put a toe out of the guidelines, but not too far out! If you read the description, Drinny is Draco+Ginny Rona is Ron+Luna and Harmy is Harry+Hermy. That's my code for the ships I live by!
Challenge:
-DOES NOT have to go along with the storyline of the original Romeo and Juliet
-Pansy must come onto Draco, thus making him leave the Dungeons and head to the astronomy tower to get away from
her
-Ginny must muster up the courage to ask Harry out, yet he refuses
-She goes to the astronomy tower to be alone, unaware that Draco was there
-You decide what happens next
-Somewhere into the story, Draco must get Ginny to pretend to go out with him, to get Pansy off his back
-Their parents don't approve, etc.
-Must end up D/G
Now for the real challenge: Try not to make Draco too OCC. It'll be pretty hard, but thats why it's called a challenge, now isn't it?
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. If I did, Harry would be married to Hermione, Draco and Ginny would be gettin it on in a broom closet, and Ron and Luna would DIE!!! Muahahahahaha! But then they'd be getting it on in heaven…
Hating, Dating, and Ginny Weasley
Chapter one: Revenge is a bitch
Ginny Weasley was mad. No, Ginny Weasley was furious. No! Ginny Weasley was enraged. She wanted to tear off Harry Potter's head, incinerate it, flush the ashes down the toilet, and watch as the Giant squid ate them and shat them out. That's how infuriated Ginny Weasley was. After six years of pining after him, Ginny Weasley finally got the courage to ask him out. And do you have any idea what he said when she did? "I'm sorry Gin, but I'm already going out with Hermione"! What did Hermione have that she didn't?
Ginny stormed down the hallway. It seemed that fifth years and lower seemed to literally disappear from her path of destruction. No one crosses Ginny Weasley when she's mad.
But she just couldn't believe it! Who would EVER pick Hermione Granger over her? It's no contest! The Bookworm versus the beauty? Ginny screamed in frustration, letting her feet guide her to her ultimate destination.
Six years of a crush flushed down the loo. Ginny just couldn't believe it.
"Move it, Tubby!" Ginny screamed to a particularly overweight third year, making him cry and run away. "Dumb-butt third years," Ginny muttered under her breath, letting her feet lead her to the North Wing Astronomy tower. "It's a crime to have someone that overweight in this school."
Normally, Ginny wouldn't be so cruel. But mess with her, and you're in for it.
Ginny yanked the astronomy tower door open. There was a blackened figure standing on the ledge, arms spread out. Upon closer inspection, Ginny came to the conclusion that it was Draco Malfoy.
"Just 'cause no one likes you is no reason to jump, Ferret," Ginny said coolly. Draco stumbled and whipped around.
"Weasley, why you," but before he could finished, he had slipped and was falling off the astronomy tower.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Draco Malfoy was sitting calmly on the couch of the Slytherin common room, one arm draped over the top and one leg draped across the seat.
"Draco!" A screechy voice sounded, breaking the sound barrier of Draco's peace.
"Parkinson, you cow, leave me alone," Draco drawled. Pansy took a seat right next to him and ran a finger seductively down his chest.
"I know you don't mean that, love," she purred. "I know your lust for me is everlasting."
"The only feeling I have for you that is everlasting is disgust. Now move, you're invading my personal space!" Pansy smirked and leaned close to him, touching her lips to his ear.
"Ooh, you want me to invade your personal space, huh?" she cooed, running her hands down to the waistband of his jeans.
"I'd rather eat a flobberworm, if you don't mind!" he yelled, frustrated.
"But baby, you know-" she started, but was cut off by Draco's anguished screams.
"Leave me alone, Parkinson, you cow!" he screamed. "I don't care about you, so just leave me alone you bloody little wench!" Draco then stomped out of the common room, fists clenching and teeth gritting.
A few minutes later, Draco pushed open the door to reveal the onyx sky. He was on the astronomy tower.
He let the cool night breeze hit his face for a moment, before walking to the guardrail and peering over the edge. He never realized that until tonight.
Draco then stepped onto the guard rail, and lifted himself up so he was one wrong move away from death or something akin.
"I love the night air," Draco whispered to himself, spreading his arms and feeling the breeze against his chest (for the shirt he was currently in was unbuttoned).
"Just 'cause no one likes you is no reason to jump, Ferret," a voice said from behind his. He jumped at the sudden presence, and slipped off of the railing.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Ginny stood there for a moment. 'OH WAIT!' her brain registered. 'Malfoy off Tower, bad! Someone will think you did it!'
"Weasley!" Draco called, a note of urgency in his voice. "Help me, I'm too rich to young to die!" he pleaded. Ginny took four large leaps over to the other side of the tower, peering over and seeing Draco hanging on by a thread. She grabbed his hand, and pulled him up, realizing Ron was right of what he said a few days prior. She was freakishly strong. Once he was safely on the tower, Ginny let go and collapsed onto the floor.
"Bloody hell Malfoy! What do you weigh, like 20 pounds?" she asked.
"138 thank you very much," he sneered, dusting his clothes off. He then took his wand out, pointed it at his hand, and muttered a charm.
"What was that?" Ginny asked rudely.
"A disinfecting charm. I had Weasley germs," he replied simply, sitting down in a chair Ginny assumed he had conjured. Then, she realized that he was half-naked (in some sense of speaking). All he had on was a pair of jeans and an unbuttoned crisp white shirt..
"I'm leaving, see ya in hell, ferret," Ginny chimed, waving a hand and walking in the direction of the door.
"Don't worry, I'll reserve a place for you, Weasel," he responded. Ginny then shuddered to think that the weasel and the ferret are actually members of the same animal family…freaky.
Ginny turned the handle of the door, only to find she couldn't. "Damn door," she muttered.
"Yes, it's hard to think a Weasley such as you can actually master the complex art of opening doors," Draco sneered.
"It's not the fact that I can't open it, it's the fact that it's stuck, dumb-butt!" Ginny shouted, frustrated. Draco pushed her aside and tried the door to no avail.
"Damn! That means I'm stuck here with Weasel! I'd rather jump off this tower!" Draco screamed, throwing his hands up and pacing around the floor.
"I'd rather you jump off too," Ginny replied sweetly. Draco sat down in the seat he previously occupied, looking Ginny in the eye.
"So, why are you here?" he asked, rather rudely.
"I asked Harry if he wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend and he turned me down," Ginny replied sadly, wringing her hands and sitting down on the cold stone floor.
"That's Potter," Draco muttered. "As blind as he is stupid."
"What?" Ginny asked, not hearing a word he said.
"Nothing, never mind," he replied distantly. Ginny looked at him as if he had three heads, before shaking the subject away.
"So, why are you up here?" Ginny retorted. "Finally realized everyone hates you and you were trying to kill yourself?" Draco shook his head "no". He obviously didn't understand a joke when it was dancing in front of his face.
"Pansy the cow was trying to do what she calls seducing me, so I got fed up and left," he said. "Is there a crime with that, Weasel?" he sneered. Ginny sighed heavily.
"Will you drop the Weasel-Ferret thing. That's between you and my brother, not you and me," Ginny whispered, playing with the hem of her shorts.
"Whatever," Draco responded. "Hey," Draco brightened up. "I know a way I can help you," he said slyly.
"Oh Merlin, do I want to hear this? Besides, I don't need your help!"
"Yes, you do, I've got a good idea," he snapped. "We can pretend like we're both dating, because we're locked up here. We can tell people we got a better understanding of each other tonight, and that's what pushed us to date. You can get back at Potter, saying you found a REAL man!" Draco finished, clapping excitedly, while Ginny snorted.
"And you can get back at Parkinson!" Ginny said, feigning excitement.
"I don't care about getting back at her, I just think you look so damn depressed you need some cheering up," he shot back. "Sorry I tried to help, maybe next time I'll kill myself and make you REALLY happy."
"No, Malfoy, I'm sorry, it's a good idea," she admitted. "I just have doubts anyone will actually believe our little charade."
"Well then, we'll just have to find out, won't we?" he responded, standing up and dusting off his clothes.
"Whatever," she responded offhandedly. "But no kissing, no hugging, no hand-holding, and I so do not do romantic walks by the lake."
"If we want it to look real, you're going to have to shove your requirements up your ass, Ginny," he spat.
"And if we want to make it look realistic, Draco, we'll have to be civil to each other!" she retorted. He sighed and ran his hands through his flaxen hair.
"Fine, deal," he said, sticking out a hand. Ginny shook it proudly. "It won't last two days though, I bet you!" he said, pointing a finger in the air.
"Whatever," she sighed, rolling her eyes.
"Draco Malfoy, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"
There you go! Part one of Hating, Dating, and Ginny Weasley! It's PG for now but might rise later to PG13, just so's ya knows! Part 2 should be up soon because I'm working on it as soon as I post this, so pray for tomorrow or Tuesday!
