Calling Out to You
Chapter 1
Ginny could hear the wind as it whipped by her face as she flew her broom. This was her chance to prove herself as a Chaser in the first quidditch match of the season against Slytherin. Harry Potter had returned as seeker and was doing a brilliant job of keeping Malfoy distracted. Harry was good at everything, he was kind and loyal. He was the object of Ginny's affection, even though she knew they were too different to ever fall in love. All of this was complicated by Ginny's overprotective six older brothers and Harry's emotional hangover after his god father's death. Her stupid, ignorant, and emotionally shallow brother.
Perhaps Harry was merely indifferent to her, but somehow this did not make her feel any better. Silly schoolgirl crushes over celebrities were awfully strenuous, even if nothing ever happened.
Ginny's brother Ron, sat in front of the three golden rings guarding in case a Slytherin chaser try to score. Slytherin's keeper Blaise Zabini was attempting to do the same thing. Ginny hung in the air by the Slytherin goalpost waiting for the quaffle to be passed her way, but then Goyle shot a bludger at her when her back was turned. Ginny had never been hit with a bludger in practice because the captain was her highly overprotective brother, who would kill anyone who tried to hurt her. However there was little Ron could do to control Goyle.
With a sickening thud the bludger struck the back of her head causing her to pitch forward and fly off her broom. In a haze of grass and players she felt two arms grab her and looked up into soft blue eyes before both of them landed on the ground. No one had even seen this because Harry had seen the snitch and raced after it. He dove to grasp the snitch and caught it.
"GRYFFINDOR WINS," shouted the announcer.
In a moment both Ron and Harry were rushing down to see her condition. Ginny however was examining her savior, who was not Harry Potter for once. Before anyone could sort out what had happened Ron punched Goyle and Crabbe had shoved Ron, who bumped into Harry who was currently asking Draco Malfoy about his father's incarceration at Azkaban, but Blaise was still looking at Ginny.
Madame Hooch blew her whistle the end the commotion, but it did not seem to be working. Finally both teams were broken apart by various teachers and Dumbledore. Madame Hooch ordered everyone into their separate locker rooms and said the match would be rescheduled within the next few months.
Ginny did not want to be ungrateful to Blaise who had saved her from falling and many hours in the Hospital Wing, so without thinking she said, "Thank you for saving my life, Blaise!"
"That is a Wizard's Debt," Pansy Parkinson shouted with glee. "Weasley owes Blaise a Wizard's Debt, she admitted it." Ginny's face turned bright red, as all the Slytherins laughed again. The next thing she knew Ron was having another go at Malfoy, attempting to kick him in the shins. Blaise however looked stunned at her statement and turned to go to the locker rooms. Blaise was more of the deceptive, impartial Slytherin. It did not suit him to work in the public eye, he only wanted to stand in the background. He did not care if Ginny Weasley fell to the ground, but he knew neither she nor her brother would forget her debt as quickly as he would have. Blaise wished for a moment he had never stopped her from plummeting. Then, he had a brilliant idea, maybe he could just forgive the debt.
"Weasley, wait. I need to ask you something," Blaise said throwing all this caution to the wind.
"Yes?" she asked her brown eyes looked so alert and beautiful. His eyes roved her body once soaking up her petite form and soft face. Zabinis were not ignorant to true beauty when it looked them in the eye.
"I have to ask you to forget the debt. How about we call it even?" he asked tentatively. Her face transformed in rage as she looked upon him.
"I pay all my debts, Zabini. I have my pride," she said drawing herself up. Then, Ginny faltered slightly as she looked at Blaise Zabini. He had raven- hair, steely blue eyes, and that pale skin. He looked like that demon from her past, perhaps it would be best if she never saw him again.
"Well, pride will only carry you so far in life, Weasley. You have no money to back up your pride," Malfoy said as he approached the two in the middle of the field.
"This does not concern you, Draco," Blaise said carefully not wanting to puncture his ego or hurt his friend's feelings. Friends in Slytherin were rare, he would alienate his most powerful friend for a Weasley.
"Patience Blaise, you will understand in due time. Weasley, I know Blaise here is failing Charms, I also happen to know you excel at Charms, so I propose you tutor him. If he passes your debt is paid, if not, there's always next year Blaise," Draco said smiling at Blaise's embarrassment.
"Malfoy, this is not the Slytherin Common Room, you do not get to play King of the Court. Now, Zabini back to the matter of my debt. Would you like me to tutor you or is there something else you have in mind?" Ginny asked turning her back to Malfoy. Ginny shivered at the prospect of having to spend time with him. Blasie was indecisive about his choice, was this what he really wanted.
"Yeah, okay," he answered nonchalantly in typical guy language.
"Library. Seven o'clock. Tuesday. Do not be late."
