The Hoax {34}

Ginny and Blaise sat down next to each other in the empty library, staring at each other. "What does Parkinson have against Malfoy that's making him act like this?" Ginny asked as she eyed Blaise carefully. "He didn't talk?"

"Not a word," Blaise replied bitterly, making a face. "It has to do something with Granger—it has to. He loves her and he cares for her, we know that. It only makes sense that Parkinson threatened to hurt Granger or something."

"What can that stupid girl do? She can't even hold her wand properly—better yet remember a spell." She said as she shrugged, shaking her head. "The only thing that girl can do is just sleep around with all the boys in her house—possibly the whole school." She muttered under her breath and suddenly stared at Blaise accusingly, leaning back slightly in her chair. "Di—have you . . . have you shagged her?"

Blaise's eyes widened as he let out a small chuckle, shaking his finger at Ginny incredulously. "I shag everyone and anyone—except that girl. We both can't stand each other, why would we even—no. What made you think that?"

"Well, she has quite a reputation for shagging everyone so . . . I thought you would be a likely candidate."

"After all this time—after becoming great friends, you' think I would stoop so low and be so desperate to shag that girl?"

"Did Malfoy and Parkinson . . . ever . . .?" She let her voice trail off and allowed her eyes to do the talking as she stared intently at him.

"Wha—what do you think we are?! We shag women—not pug-faced dogs like her!" He exclaimed and quickly looked around to see if anyone heard. "Draco doesn't even touch that girl."

"Well, that's a relief. Wait, no one seems to shag her. Then her rumors aren't true, huh?"

"No, it's true. She shags Nott – they're shagging partners. They don't have any feelings for each other, which is why he lets that crazy girl go after Draco."

Ginny's eyes widened as she nodded. "Wow, I didn't even . . . that never crossed my mind." She said as she stood up, looking at the books on the shelves. "But enough about her and shagging people . . . I wonder how we're going to hurt Malfoy. I mean, my plan will work. We just need him to physically, possibly mentally and maybe emotionally, but physically hurt. But then again, he must be emotionally and mentally hurt—we're horrible people if we hurt him physically."

"Well, it was your plan. Do you want to physically hurt Granger, then? No, Malfoy should get hurt. We all agreed on that unanimously last time."

"Yeah, you're right." She said as she quirked up an eyebrow, walking over to the window and leaning against it lightly as she stared at Blaise. "I just . . . I can't believe Parkinson managed to break them apart like that. Malfoy was beginning to open up to us more—he showed more than just anger and bitterness towards us. He even bought us brooms for crying out loud! Hermione changed him and it took so long for that to happen yet, it only took seconds for Parkinson to turn him back into that cold bastard. Why? I thought he changed for good when he bought us those brooms—it was so unexpected of him to and it was kind of him to do that."

"Parkinson has a way with her words and threats . . ." Blaise spat out and suddenly stood up, staring at Ginny. "Parkinson only knows how to fight with her words. She threatened Draco that she would spread nasty rumors about Granger—that has to be it. She was the one who spread that rumor about her and Draco last week. She must have something important and dark of Hermione's—a, a secret of some sort that she's threatening Draco with. Do you know any secrets of Granger's?"
