Ginny Weasley has always loved Halloween. Anything that combined costumes and candy was always a good time to her.

She was sitting at the Halloween feast with Ron, Harry, and Hermione eating the many sweets that were in front of her. Hermione and Harry had since made up from there lover's spat and seemed as if they were getting stronger. She would look at her brother sometimes and feel sorry for him. She knew that Ron was trying his best to not be hurt by it, to be supportive, but she felt like the meltdown would be happening soon.

She looked around at everyone dressed up in different costumes. There was to be a great candy hunt after the feast and everyone in the school would be participating.

Everyone, except her and Draco Malfoy.

While she was extremely irate at the fact that she wouldn't be hunting for candy this year, she found herself somewhat interested in what her last night on detention with Malfoy would be like.

Last detention she had with him was surprisingly fun. She had to clean out 50 of the school's cauldrons without magic.

*FLASHBACK*

Ginny sat at her usual desk she sat at in Potions. Draco sat at Professor Snape's desk watching her intently.

'This would be so much easier and so much quicker if I could use magic.' thought Ginny, thoroughly resenting Draco at the moment.

The cleaning fluid that she had to used smelled strong of fake lemons and bleach. It was almost nauseating. She felt multiple times like she would get sick.

"You don't look so good, Weasley." said Draco, getting up from the desk and walking over to Ginny.

"Why don't you come and inhale this shit for the next hour and see how you like it." said Ginny with a sneer.

Draco laughed and waved his wand. In a matter of seconds, the rest of the cauldrons were sparkly clean.

Ginny looked at the cauldrons and then looked at him. "Why did you do that? Isn't the point of my detention to learn my lesson?"

"Would you rather throw up and mess up all your hard work...on the three cauldrons that you did do?" smirked Draco.

"Cute. And no. So what do I do now? Don't I have another 2 hours left?" asked Ginny.

"You sure do. And do whatever you want. Homework, twiddle your fingers, mix some shit. Or we could talk."

Ginny narrowed her eyes as she stared at Draco. "Talk as in having a civil conversation with each other?"

"As a Weasley, I'm sure it must be hard. You brother talks in grunts and hums" said Draco wishing immediately that he could take it back.

"Well, all hope of having a civil conversation with me has quickly flown out the window." said Ginny feeling annoyed with him.

"Wait. I'm...sorry. I actually...I didn't really mean to say that. I'm just used to talking shit to your brother." said Draco in an attempt to apologize to the fiery beauty that was in front of him.

"I'm not my brother."

"I'm glad of that. Otherwise this would be a very awkward situation." said Draco with a seductive smile.

Ginny rolled her eyes and tried not to show the smile creeping up on her face. She failed miserably.

"What? I made a Weasley smile? I need to write that down." joked Draco.

"Why are you being so...so..."

"Amazing? Devilishly handsome? Tempting?"

"I was going to say ‘adorable’ but whatever your ego prefers."
