Chapter Three: The Secret Crush
Ginny looked down at the ground where the force of her blow landed Malfoy.
Ginny stared at the very bloody Slytherin in horror.
She couldn't believe she just punched Draco Malfoy in the jaw!
Ginny never thought this day would ever come.
It suddenly became blatantly apparent to Ginny that the Great Hall was silent and all eyes were on her.
Blimey! What have I done! I have to get out of here! Ginny thought.
Ginny took one last glance at the likeness of the Greek god that she knocked off it's pedestal and ran out the door.
"Ginny are you in here?" Hermione asked as she walked into the bathroom to catch up with her best friend.
"Yeah I'm here," Ginny sighed.
"Look!"
Hermione held up a large photo of her punching Malfoy.
Ginny ripped the photo out of Hermione's hand.
"Who took this blasted picture anyway?" Ginny questioned.
"It was Colin Creevey. As soon as he saw you sitting with the Slytherins, he knew something good was about to happen so he had his camera at hand."
"Ginny, what did that nasty ferret do to you?" Hermione urged.
"He said I was worth less than his underwear," Ginny whispered.
Hermione let out a soft chuckle.
"You know, I hate to say it, but he is probably right."
"There's no telling what that bastard wears on his filthy rich arse."
"Shut up Hermione, you aren't helping."
"You are my hero though! I would never dream, well we all know I dream of it but,
I would never have the guts to punch a Malfoy in public." Hermione said as she hooked arms with Ginny and led her
out the door.
"You know something 'Mione, I feel pretty damn good right about now. The bastard deserved it."
"You should have seen the view of it from where I was sitting. You really decked him hard!"
"Ginny!" a voice called.
Ginny spun around to see that Pansy and Millie were right behind them.
"We have to talk to you," Millie urged.
"Alone," Pansy said as she eyed Hermione with a look of disgust.
"I'll catch up with you later Gin," Hermione said as she swaggered past Pansy, purposely bumping into her with her shoulder as she passed by.
Pansy and Millie led Ginny to Pansy's room. It was much nicer then the Gryffindor Dormitories and Pansy had it all to herself.
"Wow Pansy, this is really nice. How did you get this room? I'm jealous!" Ginny said as she walked over to sit on Pansy's bed, admiring how comfortable it was compared to her's.
"Well, being a Parkinson has it's perks. You don't think my father would let his only baby girl have a second-rate room now did you?"
Millie walked over to sit on Pansy's king size bed next to Ginny, who was now sprawled out on the bed ravishing in the feel of the extravagant bedding.
"Leave her be Mill, she is used to laying on those straw mats they give the Gryffindors to sleep on," Pansy said sarcastically.
"Ginny you know you broke Draco's jaw, he was knocked out cold!" Millie said as if she couldn't believe it herself.
"Yeah, you really made the bastard see stars," Pansy said coldly as she began to rummage through her wardrobe.
"Yeah, so? His wretched arse deserved it!" Ginny retorted.
"Madam Promfrey told us that Draco is even going to have to stay the night in the hospital wing!" Millie exclaimed.
"Okay that's enough Millieâ€"" Pansy said crudely.
"Now Ginny, I must ask you something," Pansy said as she continued tearing apart her wardrobe.
"Do you have a particular love interest at the moment? A crush maybe?"
Ginny looked over at Millie and shrugged her shoulders.
"Errâ€" no," Ginny said hesitantly.
"Oh come on girl, out with it! You can't just sit there and tell me that crock of shite, I know that someone must tickle your fancy!
"No one tickles my fancy Pans!" Ginny snorted with laughter.
"Well, If you don't spill it here and now, I will get Snape to mix me up a dose of Veritaserum to force the bloody truth out of your lying arse!" Pansy threatened dangerously.
"That potion is controlled by very strict Ministry guidelines! Snape wouldn't just give you some!"
"I wouldn't be so sure of that Ginny dear. Snape is like putty in your fingers, if you know how to handle him."
"Do I know how to handle Snape Mill?" Pansy asked.
"Ohh yes, I don't even think you want to know just how well Pansy can handle Snape!" Millie hinted.
"Well what will it be Gin? Are you going to tell us now or do I have to get that silly little potion?" Pansy questioned as she sauntered off towards the door, giving Ginny an ultimatum.
Ginny leaped off the bed.
"Okay you little conniving little wench, I'll tell you!" Ginny shouted.
Millie sat up straight on the bed waiting Ginny's response.
"I know this is probably going to be the most pathetic thing you two have ever heard butâ€""
"I have a little crush on Draco," Ginny sighed as if she had just given some top-secret military plans over to the ememy.
"Oh sweet Circe I knew it!" Pansy squealed.
"Woah Ginny I never would have guessed! He doesn't seem like your type at all!" Millie said flabbergasted.
"I know but he is so damn sexy!" Ginny confided, suddenly feeling the weight of the secret lift from her shoulders.
"Well duh! He is the Slytherin Sex God!" Pansy snorted. "And, if I may add, he most
certainly does live up to his reputation in bed.
"Every girl in the entire school wants him! Except for maybe some pathetic little Hufflepuffs of course."
Millie added.
"I think you, like I did, may actually call the bloke her own eventually." Pansy said as she threw some articles of clothing onto an over-stuffed couch next to her wardrobe.
Pansy walked over to join Millie and Ginny on her bed.
"You see Ginny, Draco is available obviously since things didn't quite work out for us, and you will make the perfect match for him! I know it sounds far fetched, but trust me, I know little drakkie-poo and he will just eat you up when were done with you. Literally, if you catch my drift," Pansy said cunningly.
"It would also make an excellent opportunity for Millie and I, well mostly I since Millie couldn't flirt herself out of a paper bag, to turn you into a goddess that a gods like Draco will drool over."
"Hey!" Millie said smacking Pansy in the head.
Pansy then smacked Millie bluntly across the face.
"Don't you hit me, you bitch!" Pansy shrieked.
"You know, you aren't the only girl that can make Draco drool," Millie said merrily, as she rubbed the tender spot on her cheek.
Ginny stared at the pair and rolled her eyes.
"Anyway Ginny, the point is, we are going to give you the following handy dandy tools: Munipulation & Seduction!" Pansy finished, feeling quite content with herself.
"So you can make the Slytherin Sex God all yours!" Millie giggled.
