For Miranda
miranda_k who asked for a Draco/Ginny fic. ...You are so lucky that I actually like you.
Story Name: So how does an inter-house snowball match promote unity?
Story Genre: Harry Potter.
Story Rating: K+/PG
Pairings: Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley. Also Terry Boot/Susan Bones, because everyone knows that it’s canon. No, you shut up!
Disclaimer: Blaise isn't Italian yet, is he? That means that I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N: ...One of my Christmas present fics, this one is for Miranda, who knows that I despise this pairing and that’s why she asked for it. Continuity-wise, completely AU and somewhere between Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire. Very short, but if Miranda wanted a longer fic, she should have asked for a pairing that I can actually write!
She didn’t get it.
Wandless snowball fights were incredibly fun and entertaining to both the participants and the spectators, but Dumbledore’s speech about them promoting inter-house unity just didn’t hold water.
Well, ok, so one of the Ravenclaws from Ron’s year were snogging one of the Hufflepuffs senseless, but that really didn’t count.
"It’s disgusting."
She didn’t need to turn around. She knew that voice. As well as its sneering owner. Quietly, she shook her head in disagreement.
"It’s love. And when people love each other, it doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks about it. Besides, I don’t think that they’d appreciate the opinions of a brat who does nothing but spout his father’s philosophy and has no personality of his own."
"I have personality of my own, although being Potter’s redheaded harlot, I doubt that you’d ever see it."
Redheaded harlot?! That’s even worse than being called a scarlet woman! She glared at him with as much ferocity as she could manage, wondering exactly how many hexes she could cast at him before either McGonagall or Snape noticed. He looked away from her and continued his tirade about the two people kissing.
"While Bones is reasonably respectable, considering her father married a Mudblood, the very fact that she’s a Huffleduff, by definition makes her unattractive to proper pureblooded men and besides, why him? She could have quite a lot of men of her station and yet, she goes for filth like him. Why?"
Ginny reviewed her options towards shutting the prat up. Not Silencio, because Snape would give her detention. She couldn’t stuff snow into his mouth because McGonagall would give her detention.
Besides, she wanted to do something that he’d never forget the humiliation of. Winking at Colin, who was standing nearby, she put her finger to her lips and motioned for him to get his camera out.
Then she did something that, later, almost all Weasleys -except the twins, who admired the effect of it, if not the method- would never understand her reason for doing it.
She kissed Draco Malfoy.
And Colin took pictures to later spread them around the school, wreaking Malfoy’s reputation and influence even among his own house.
His reaction was predictable. He hissed at her in a fit of childish rage, while she just smiled serenely at him. Honestly, she could see why Luna took so much pleasure in acting crazy, it was so entertaining.
As she walked off after his petty ranting, she was safe in her victory. Maybe it was insignificant to many people, but if it unbalanced him and reduced his arrogance even a little bit, it was better for the rest of Hogwarts on the whole.
