"Miss. Weasley! Do you want to put the rest of the class in danger?"
Ginny picked her head up quickly. Snape was eyeing her angrily.
" The potion is supposed to be a light blue, not blood red. Ten points from Gryffindor, and I'll see you after class."
She glanced at the potion in front of her. She'd left it on the fire too long.
Plus she'd forgotten to add the bats milk after the boiling point. Quickly she put a bookmark in
her we-read copy of 'Interview with a vampire' by Anne Rice.
She'd come across the book in a muggle book store and had quickly become addicted to horror books.
She adored Anne Rice and Stephen King as well.
This wasn't the first time she'd gotten caught reading in class. She carefully cooled her potion and Snape gave her directions of howto get rid of it.
As the class was dismissed, Ginny made her way to the front of the room, to
stand in front of Snape's desk.
" Miss. Weasley," after a quick pause,
" Virginia, I am worried as to your attempts in this class."
After the events of two years ago, when Snape was forced to work with Black, he'd
been somewhat nicer to her. Not to mention Harry, Ron, and Hermoine.
She glanced shyly at him.
" Even when you are not reading in my class, you seem distracted, I think I should get a tutor for you. What do you think?"
She was amazed. She could actually see him trying to be nice. His face was screwed up cautiously, his lips pressed to keep from yelling.
It was almost cute.
" That would be nice, good." She smiled sheepishly. It was an old habit that she couldn't
seem to break.
Hermoine said it made her look cute, but Harry never noticed so...
Snape was talking to her.
" here tomorrow, right after your classes. You and your tutor can discuss times and the such. You may go now Miss. Weasley."
He smiled at her and she turned to leave. As if in a second thought she turned back around.
" You should smile more."
Quickly she turned and ran out of the room and Snape glanced after her.
'I hope this works.'
Ginny picked her head up quickly. Snape was eyeing her angrily.
