Romance and Revelations

Chapter 1: A Surprising Revelation

Ginny sat back on the uncomfortable benches in the back of the Transfiguration classroom. Next to her, Vanessa's ink well that was supposed to have been transformed from a Raven continued to walk around on its spindly, black legs.

She hated transfiguration, it was with the Hufflepuffs and there always seemed to be one of them that got the spell completely wrong. The last time, one of them had managed to turn their own hand into a bat, which then had to be captured. It was by far her worst class, she never seemed to get a perfect transformation and this was supposed to be one of the hardest classes of the year.

Professor McGonagall noticed her lolling back in her chair. She came over;

"Seeing as you look so bored miss Weasley, I assume you've finished the spell. No? Well why don't you demonstrate it to the rest of the class?" She said sarcastically.

"Raveninkia Reducto" she muttered, jabbing her wand towards the Raven.

A jet of light erupted from the tip of her wand, transforming the bird from a large bird to a small intricately decorated ink well inlaid with gold. McGonagall looked shocked.

"Well that's the best spell that I have ever seen miss Weasley."

After class Blaise Zabini came up to her.

"My mother sent me a letter by special owl, she says that your powers will start to be revealed today," Blaise told her.

"What powers, and why now?" she asked.

"Today is your true seventeenth birthday, and you are my sister."

"It can't be!" she exclaimed.

But he seemed sincere, and her magic seemed to be much stronger. In potions Slughorn praised her for her draught of living death. In defence against the dark arts her shielding spell was the most powerful. This continued throughout the week. Dumbledore called her into his office the following Monday.

"Your magical prowess is astonishing, would you like to move into the year above?" he asked. "You will have to do a little extra work, but that shouldn't be a problem for you, since you are so gifted."

"I would love to", she replied, thinking that she would now be in the same year as her friends Harry and Hermione and her brother Ron. She joined their year, but Harry for some reason seemed cold to her.

Hermione was even worse than Harry and swung between icy aloofness and just being a plain bitch. Ron was immensely jealous, at least they didn't share too many classes. She hung around Harry but he never noticed her. Perhaps he was jealous, but every time she tried to sway his feelings he would push her away. After that he would talk with Ron, who would tell her to stop being so silly. As if she was a little girl.

The day started out very badly. Malfoy's potions partner had disappeared to hospital wing, although she suspected the large quantity of firewhisky he'd had at the Hog's Head was the true culprit. She was paired with him.

"Stop sulking and chop the mandrake roots", he said.

She started chopping again, she had been staring at Harry, but realised that Draco had been looking at her. He started stirring the cauldron and she took a proper look at him. He might have been her family's enemy, but she was still able to appreciate how attractive he was.

In fact, she thought, he was one of the most attractive boys in the school. He saw her looking, "see something you like Weasley?" he sneered. Ginny blushed and looked away.

Blaise and Draco were talking in the Slytherin Common room. "You know the littlest Weasley, the girl, well she was staring at me," said Draco. "What, you gonna go for her?" asked Blaise. "Dunno, she's kind of hot isn't she?"

Blaise looked at Draco, mortified. Unexpectedly he viciously swung his fist. Draco caught it before it hit his nose.

"What the hell was that for?" he cried.

"She's my sister you bastard."

"Seriously? I thought she was some poor Weasley scum."

Blaise nodded, "Malfoy, lay off her," he added in warning tones.

Draco nodded slowly, reeling with the information.

"Alright," he replied at last. "I'm off to bed," he finished lamely.
