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."

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)
