Ginger Malfoy

Suspicions and Snake-eyes

Ginger woke up the next morning in a daze.  What had happened?  What hadn't happened?  With a heavy heart and a huge knot in her stomach, she dressed and headed to breakfast without waiting for Lobelia or Nott.

She found Rose in the hallway and asked her if she and Albus would sit by her at the Ravenclaw table for breakfast.  Rose agreed heartily and they set off to find their dark-haired friend.

They spotted Albus among the sea of faces in the Great Hall and went to sit by him.

As Ginger ate, she noticed a pair of eyes focused on hers.  Levee Riddle's.

Levee's Slytherin-green orbs unnerved Ginger, causing her to lose her appetite.

Levee whispered to the girl sitting next to her, a skinny brunette with the same skin tone as Lobelia.

Violet Zabini, Ginger thought.  

Ginger figured that if Levee was going to stare, she would stare back.  She studied Levee's delicate face.  Levee was truly gorgeous if you could ignore her scary eyes.  She had smooth, creamy skin and lovely blonde hair that hung in spirals all around her face.  

Ginger thought that Levee would be much prettier if she smiled nicer.  All she had seen her do was smirk.  And not a sexy Malfoy smirk, either.  A cold, cruel, mean-hearted, soul-sucking smirk.  

Violet and Josh attempted to smirk like Levee, Ginger had seen them do it sometimes, but they just couldn't.  Under their unfeeling masks, Violet and Josh were actually really nice people.  Violet loved her parents and sister more than she loved herself.  Josh didn't think that Levee was any better than the half-bloods and muggle-borns.

Ginger was drawn out of her staring when she saw Levee pushing Violet over to the Ravenclaw table.  Violet hesitantly walked over to Ginger and wrung her hands before beginning to speak.

"Levee.. well she wants to know why you broke up with Nott for this.. Ravenclaw.." Violet stuttered.

"Nott and Ginger were never even together.  I know that Levee isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer," Rose said, "but even idiots know that people can't break up if they were never dating.  Ginger's not dating him either.  And he," she continued, jabbing her thumb in Albus' direction, "has a name.  Albus Potter.  The son of the Boy-who-lived."

Ginger began to protest when Rose said that her and Nott were never together, but then she realized that they hadn't been together.  She hadn't been with Albus, either.  

After kissing her, the boys weren't sure how it went from there.  They were eleven years old.  They didn't know how to ask out a girl.

Violet paled and stepped back a little.  "Alright.. so.. Ginger's not dating the Potter boy?" she spoke as if Albus wasn't sitting right there.

"No!" Rose yelled.  Levee rolled her eyes from the Slytherin table, evidently noting Violet's incompetence.

Ginger spoke up.  "Why did Levee even need to know?  I can see who I please.  I don't need to impress you people," she said with a Malfoy-drawl.

Violet paled again, obviously not able to explain herself.

"Yeah," Albus piped in.  "Why do any of you even give a damn?"

Rose punched Albus in the shoulder for cursing.  She was very sensitive about that kind of thing, a trait inherited from Hermione, no doubt.

Violet looked back at the Slytherin table, then back at the trio, then back at Levee again.  She drew a deep breath and regained much of her color.

"You three would be surprised about the things Levee needs to know to set her plan in motion."

Violet's color faded away again when she realized she had revealed too much.  She mentally slapped herself and quickly skipped back to Levee without apologizing or saying goodbye to the three children she had been talking to.

Ginger, surprisingly, finished her food without once thinking about Levee's "plan".

I mean, it didn't concern her at all, right?
