It had seemed like such a good idea, when he'd hatched it earlier in the week, despite Astoria telling him it was crazy, but now that he was standing in the line at the front The Snake Pit, with the red-head of Ginny Weasley standing in front of him, he wasn't so sure. He supposed it wasn't too late just yet. He could suggest somewhere else for the promised drinks, but then she might think he was weak, because he'd confided in her what he hoped to accomplish by bringing her here tonight. She'd been nice enough to go along with it, though he suspected that had more to do with a dislike of Gwen than any feelings of friendship towards him.

They'd spent the afternoon playing at the Harpies practice pitch, and had eventually called it a tie, but seeing as Ginny had been the victor at their first meeting, Adrian had offered to buy the drinks tonight. After all, he wasn't too sure what Gwen's reaction would be, and while he was fairly sure Ginny could hold her own if it came down to a fight, if she did get hurt because of this ruse, at least she wasn't paying for it.

They stepped forward as another group were let in behind the barricade.

"It's not too late to change your mind," he said to her. Maybe she'd call the whole thing off. He wouldn't blame her. The Snake Pit was a well known ex-Slytherin hang out. She was inviting a whole world of trouble by going in there on his arm, and not just with Gwen. "Just say the world, and you're enjoying the drink of your choice at The Leaky."

Acting like he was really into Weasley was fairly easy. Despite her name, she was a very attractive girl, and he knew that even if they'd public mock her, behind locker room doors, even the Slytherin boys talked about how hot she was. What was much harder than he'd anticipated was glancing around to make sure Gwen was seeing all this. Ade tugged Ginny a bit closer as they moved into the bar, his fingers splayed in the small of her back, then daringly let his hand slide down so that the tips rest against the top of her arse.

"Two Firewhiskeys, please," he said to the bartender, though he was looking at Ginny.

Ginny gave him a sweet but coy smile as she turned her body a bit so it was angled into his. For all purposes she really did look like she was enjoying herself. She wasn't even sure why she was helping but she was.

And for a little added intensity she leaned in closer so she could whisper softly in his ear what appeared to be an intimate conversation or proposal. "You know you owe me like your soul for this..." And in many ways he did. "So you better love this girl."

	He wasn't sure why she was helping, either, but he did owe her big time. Some day, he might figure out how to repay her, but for right now, all he could do was buy her a drink. "I do, actually, very much," he replied simply. "She's perfect." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ginny shook her head in disbelief but covered it with a small laugh making it seem like he had told her a joke. They really were clueless when it came to women and how they worked.

"Then you really shouldn't be sitting here with me. Girls never admit how they feel right away," maybe someone should enlighten him. "They want you to fight for them, make them feel special, reassure them that you want them." It was just something they did and now that she thought about it Ginny wasn't sure just why.

"There is a second thing you owe me too and that's to make sure no one kills me here before I leave."

Ade shook his head, but kept a smile on his face, as though he were secretly amused by something Ginny had just said.

"Not Gwen," he said, reaching over to brush her hair back from her face. "The more special I try to make her, the more I reassure her that it's her I want, the more she pushes me away. Before she'll accept I love her, she needs to realise that she wants me for herself. That's what I'm hoping seeing me with you will accomplish. If something happens, I'd just Apparate out if I were you. There are no wards against it here."

"Or you will piss her off enough and she'll try to hex me and then I will have to show her how it is done and it'll be one big mess." Ginny was pretty sure that she would have the upper hand. Being in the DA and the Order really had honed her dueling skills though they had always been pretty good naturally. "Then you really would regret this." She wasn't going to start anything but she wasn't going to backdown either.

"So lets not attempt that."

Gwen had been angry enough after his "date" with Astoria to show up at his place and yell at him, but so far, to his knowledge, she didn't know that he'd kissed Ginny, but he was pretty sure that hexes would be flung if she did. He didn't want Gwen hurt, so he had to hope that she didn't get so mad about him being here with Ginny that she started something.

"Yeah, that wouldn't be good," he agreed.

	"Nope, lets not." In true Gyrffindor fashion she was up for all kinds of things but there was a limit to even her bravery. Not that she was convinced his plan would work but it wasn't her problem in the end. The next day it would be solved. "I have to admit this place is nothing like I would have imagined. Kinda... dull." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He kept up his charade, running his hand down her back and moving his face closer to hers. He could only imagine the shock value if he did actually kiss her here. "I'm sorry you think so. I've always like it here, actually," he said. "Where do you usually hang out?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ginny chewed her lip a moment knowing that she not anyplace she could readily admit to. It would be highly unappreciated if she did. "Well, I know a couple people working in other pubs and there is always a loud crowd at home and plenty of pick-up games to do." It was the safe answer and not entirely untrue because it was.

"I guess to some that would seem almost barbaric, but it is always fun and you don't have to worry about the games your so called society seems so fond of."

He really couldn't argue with her, there. There were an awful lot of unwritten rules that people in their social circle were expected to adhere to. He was breaking several of them by being here with Ginny, but if it got him back with Gwen, it would be worth it. Before he could speak however, he heard the angry voice of the girl he was here to win.

"What exactly are you doing?"

	And with that comment it was her time to leave. Ginny had done her job and despite what people thought she didn't want to get caught up in the middle. There were other things, more important things, than a silly love triangle and she wasn't really the type. So why they argued she took it as her cue to silently slip away. (Reply to this) (Parent)
