After a seemingly innocent day of shopping and 'borrowing' from Ron, the girls returned home to their cozy flat; with a very disgruntled salamander in hand.
Ginny was wildly amused with the whole ordeal. While Hermione expected Ron to transform Harry into newt, Ron had other plans, other, larger, slimier plans for his Moulin-Rouge-Soundtrack-Stealing-Best-Friend. Instead he had chosen to transfigure him into a rather large scaly salamander. Ginny laughed looking down at the small creature. It was rather easy to tell it was Harry. Ron's wands were never of any good use (or maybe he just didn't know how to use them), and so some things were left unchanged… the small salamander had a patch of unruly black hair and livid green eyes. At the moment Hermione was doing her best to console him (while laughing hysterically), but it never did any good. Harry the salamander boy was shaking and hissing at her in disbelief.
"Really now Harry, you should be wiser next time. You're never supposed to steal from your flat mate, ever!"
This set Harry/the salamander into a new set of hisses as he stared up at Hermione, completely lost.
"No no, you know the rules. As a friend and a flat mate it breaks the unwritten laws we are all subject to."
"Hiss. hisssss, his, hiss., his, hisss!"
"I don't speak lizard you insane reptile!" Hermione hollered back at it.
Harry hissed madly at this and ran over and began nibbling agitatedly at Hermione's foot.
"What the bloody hell? Ginny? Is he attacking me?"
Ginny giggled and finally decided to help poor Harry out, "I think he's trying to tell you something! ::bursts of laughter:: Um...::giggle:: Hermione? Why don't you, uh,::giggle:: sort, change him back now?"
"OH! Yeah! I should do that shouldn't I? I just caught up in laughing, Er...shopping...OW!" Hermione squealed when Harry gave her a warning bite on her toe. Taking out her wand and muttering a small counter curse under her breath, Harry the disgruntled salamander swirled back into Harry, the disgruntled boyfriend.
"I'm not talking to you Hermione," Harry announced through small sniffles.
"Honey, really, I'm just kidding-"
"No. No just no." Harry interrupted, holding up a hand to silence her. He then turned on his heal, head hung low, and made his way to the kitchen to eat.
When Ginny gave him an amused questioning glance, he replied,
"Being a salamander makes you hungry damn it!" Harry then proceeded to shove an entire piece of pie into his mouth. Ginny burst into a fit of giggles, at which Harry gave her a murderous glare. Harry chewed vigorously for about 3 seconds then stopped dead, his eyes growing big.
"Hermione, what kind of pie is this…?"
"Well, Sirius brought it over… he left a note with it"
Harry, spitting out pieces of pie at random, opened the note.
"Oh frrrrrickers."
Ginny, trying to control her laughter, asked,
"F, frrr, frrrickers??"
"That's not what's important right now!" Harry replied heatedly. "What's important is that I just swallowed an entire piece of pie loaded with pot!"
Ginny and Hermione finally unable to hold it in began to laugh hysterically.
"It's not funny! Hermione, what's going to happen to me? I've never smoked pot!" Harry said, begging to whimper.
"Oh relax, you're whimpering like Ron. Just go into my room and wait for it to come."
"FOR WHAT TO COME? FOR WHAT??" Harry asked getting emotional.
"Oh, you'll see." Hermione said, looking away.
"See what??!? I don't want to see? And I'm still hungry! And I don't this pie, and I'm still hungry…" Harry rambled walking into Hermione's room.
"GO HIDE THE FOOD!" Hermione screamed to Ginny.
"What? Why?"
"Because he's going to eat it all! You think he's hungry now?? Wait till it wears off!" Hermione hollered, grabbing up as much food as she could carry and tossing it into Ginny's room.
There was a long period of eerie quiet.
"HERMIONE! WHY THE BLOODY HELL IS THERE A PENGUIN SUNTANNING ON MY BED???….WITH ANOTHER PENGUIN…DOING EXPLICIT THINGS TO THE OTHER PENGUIN?? I DON'T LIKE THE PENGUIN LOVE HERMIO--, OH, NEVERMIND HERMIONE! IT'S ALRIGH, THEY'RE MARRIED! HERMIONE, IT'S ALRIGHT, THY'RE MARRIED!" Harry called from the other room.
"Oh, well you know what Harry? We're NOT married!" Hermione screamed.
"NOPE, NO WE'RE NOT, NOPE NOPE."
"Arrr…poor boy. Won't be getting any for at least 4 months after this." Hermione said, laying her head down on the counter and smiling up at Ginny from its glossy surface.
No longer very amused, Ginny retreated into her own room. Pushing aside varying food products, she made her way to her answering machine, which was blinking away. Pressing the button, she listened as she began to drag the pile of clothes in the corner over to her hamper.
::beep:: "Ginny darling…"
Err, another message from her mother reminding her that a family dinner had been scheduled for a week from today.
::beep:: "hhehehehe, Ginny!" ::click:: oh lord, Harry had gotten a hold of Hermione's phone…
::beep:: "hahaha penguin love!" ::click::
::beep:: "hahehahe, we should call it penguin porn! Haha" ::click::
::beep:: "tehehe" ::click::
Annoyed, Ginny walked back over to the answering machine and began deleting every message that started with a moronic giggle. 20 messaged later, she heard a familiar voice call out from the small machine:
::beep:: "HI GINNY! It's Neville! I'm a little sloshed, STUBIFY! …had a few drinks with my buddy here, Seamus 'hey sexy! Well, I can't really say that since I'm not sure if you are actually sexy. Well, I'm not there, so I can't see you, did you get fat??' 'No! shut up you fag!' 'I told you not to tell anybody!' 'Anyway, Ginny, I was wondering, are we - "
::beep:: "yeah, sorry, machine kinda cut me off, so I was kind wonderin, Are we friends or more than friends? Cause I get kinda mixed up with the stuff that's in my head and the stuff that's real…ok, just give me a call later"
Lord…..
The next message was again from Harry, though Ginny couldn't tell whether he was choking or laughing…
::beep:: "Virginia-,"
Ginny froze where she stood, her finger poised above the delete button. That smooth velvety voice… no one had that alluring seductive voice… no one… but Draco Malfoy.
"You're not home, so I'll have to tell you this through the answering machine. I'm sorry Virginia, but I'm not going to be able to join you later tonight…"
Ginny fell down to sit on her bed. She was furious with him, but that voice had her mesmerized.
"Uhhh…don't call me at home I'll be at dad's…umm...so yeah…I'll call you when I get home…maybe. Bye." ::click::
Ginny's face screwed up in confusion. Normally eloquent and well worded, Draco was fumbling for words...and he had stated the obvious, not very smooth….and he had called Lucius dad…weird. Something was wrong… something was up…
::beep:: "Gin Girl, this is Dean."
Taken aback by the use of her old nickname, her jaw fell open, and the ends of her lips curled up into a small smile.
"Haven't talked to you in years. Too long I'd say. Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to go out and get some coffee or some drinks sometime to catch up on things. Well, number hasn't changed, just give me a ring later then. … Oh! and , well, I saw Neville and Seamus at the bar earlier… If they call you, don't pick up, also, I have the sneaking suspicion that Seamus is gay…yes well, just thought you should be on alert. Um… Bye then." ::click::
::beep:: "Arrgghh, Ginny, um, I have a bit of a headache, and I'm nasty hungry. Hermione says she's hidden the food, but I know it's in there with you! Please Ginny, I need food! No Hermione! Oh please! Come on , I lov-" ::click::
Ginny heard scuffling noises from the other room and, "OW!!!!!"
Brrrr-ing……Brrr-ing…
::beep:: 'Ginny! Help!!!…that hurts…oww…if I die who's going to save the world from Voldie..hehe Voldie…not you...not Hermione…not Ron…he'll just try and turn him into a salamander...::whimper::…salamander…waaahhhhh' 'sorry Ginny...uhh…I'm going to tuck him into bed then…we can watch a movie or something…' 'salamander….Wahhhhhh!….::sniffle::' ::click::
'Jesus,' Ginny thought. 'who's been putting my number on the bathroom wall. Everyone seems to be calling me today.' Sighing Ginny turned to her phone. Picking up the receiver, she dialed the number she never thought she'd ring…
Brrrr-ing…. Brrrr-ring…click.
"Malfoy Residence, with whom do you wish to speak?"
In a determined voice, Ginny replied,
"With Mr. Draco Malfoy if you please."
"Yes Miss, one moment…"
"Draco Malfoy here, speak to me Blaize."
Ginny's heart skipped a beat.
"Darling if you cancel on me for tonight I'll die."
Lip trembling, all Ginny could manage was "I...-"
"Darling, I need you." Draco had never even told Ginny that he needed her; sure he had claimed to love her, but never need her…
"Blaize? Please tell me you'll come. I need you there beside me. …"
"Yes, of course…" Ginny whispered into the shaking receiver.
"There's my girl. Look, we're going to be with my father, so try not to look too sexy. The last thing I need is my father drooling over my girl. :: Gentle laugh:: Oh, and wear that special black dress that I like, you know the one. Oh, and darling, don't be late."
"Never..."
"…Is there something wrong cherub?"
"Not at all. I'll be there"
"Great. Talk to you later then kitten?"
"Oh you'll be talking to me later... that's for sure."
"Well I've got to go for now. Family business, you know the sort."
"Of course. I've got to go as well. I've got to work up on my transfiguration spells, you know, sharpening the old skills. Bye."
"Wait darling, do you have a cold?"
"No... Er, yes,:: cough cough:: yes I do. No worries, it should be gone by tonight. And don't mention it because you know how I hate being weak."
"Absolutely. Well if you're sure you'll be alright…"
"Positive."
"Alright then, I'll see you later."
"Oh, you'll be seeing me…"
"Bye Love"
"Bye"::click::
Placing the receiver down with a soft pop, Ginny whirled up and flew around her room, pacing in a wild rush.
"HERMIONE??!?! YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO CHANGE SOMEONE INTO A NO GOOD ROTTEN SNAKE WOULD YOU?? Oh wait! Too late! He's done that on his own!" Screaming and crushing a pillow between her fists Ginny slammed back down onto her bed as Hermione came rushing into the room.
"I can't believe him! Canceling on me just so he can bring BLAISE home to meet father! How dare he! Who does he think he is???!?!?"
"Blaize??? Who the devil? Who thinks he …what?" Hermione asked, completely lost.
"Never mind, go give you boyfriend NOT HUSBAND some sleeping potion, oh wait, HE'S HAD ENOUGH DRUGS FOR ONE NIGHT!" Hermione stared at Ginny.
"Right then. I'll be watching Sleepless in Seattle in the living room. You can come join me once you pull that huge stick out of your arse."
"Hermione! Dawl...dawling, I don't feel too:: hic cup:: good. But I'll be damned if this soda isn't good."
"Honey! That's not soda, that's Butterbeer and you've drunken the whole case!" Hermione said as Harry sauntered into the room.
"Well that's because you wouldn't give me any…any...FOOD!" Harry said lunging at the stray food articles that littered Ginny's floor.
"NO! Quick Ginny help me get him out!" Hermione wrangled Harry away as Ginny slammed the door in his face.
"I KNOW IT'S IN THERE! YOU'RE HOARDING IT IN THERE! JUST LIKE A DRAGON! GAH! OW! Stop Hermione!"
Later that night…
Harry, having sobered up, took Hermione out for a night on the town. Ginny, being quite alone had finally worked up the nerve to call Dean back.
…Brrr-ring… Brrr-ring…::click::
"Hel-hello?" Came his voice from the other end of the line.
"Hello Dean, this is Ginny. You called earlier and I was just calling you back, I thought maybe I'd take you up on you're offer to go get some drinks."
"Oh! Course, course, How's about we meet up at The Crazy Newt on McGoven Road?"
"Haha, that sounds lovely Dean, and speaking of newts, I've got the funniest story to tell you!"
"Then I guess we should get down there and start catching up Gin Girl!"
"Still using that nickname for me?"
"Why, does it bother you?"
"No, it's actually quite refreshing… I'll see you there in twenty!"
"Right then! Bye Gin Girl."

DISCLAIMER: Neville's phone call belongs to Coach Z off of www.Homestarrunner.com. The best darn online animation around I my opinion. My fave is "A Jorb Well Done" check it out. (No I'm not being paid to advertise.) PLEASE DON'T SUE US! We are 2 broke little girls. You will get nothing! Yeah, like we said before, we really don't own Draco, though we wish we did, so we could make him do naughty naughty things…yeah, ok… p.s. we lied about owning Ginny and Hermione's flat. …Though we also wish we owned that too, so we wouldn't have to deal with our parents…::rambles::
