Chapter One

Summer before first year...

*Flashback*

Ginny sat at the end of a long wooden dock with her feet hanging over the edge. The moon light was reflecting into the lake water below. She closed her eyes. The soft breeze made her mane of fiery red hair blow freely. Hearing footsteps behind her, she quickly opened her eyes. Staring down at her was a boy with licorice black eyes and short, spiky raven black hair.

"Hi" he stated simply

"Hello?" she replied

"May I join you?" he asked

"Might as well" she replied shyly

"I'm Roderick Snape, who are you?" he asked sitting down

"Ginevra Weasley" she replied

"A Weasley?" he responded shocked

"Yeah... Why? What's wrong with the Weasley's?" she asked in defence

"Nothing. It's just, my father has two star students and their last name is Weasley." he responded

"Students?" she asked

"My father is the potions master at Hogwarts" he replied looking down

"Really? That must be fascinating." she said in awe

"If by fascinating you mean him leaving me at home every September with my mother and sisters and I don't see him really until Christmas and then again until Summer holidays. Yes, fascinating is the word." he stated sneering

"I know. I have six older brothers. They all leave in September and they don't even come home at Christmas. It's lonely being the only girl in a family" she said

"I know that feeling. I hate being the only boy" he sneered

"LIGHTS OUT!" yelled a camp counsellor "Back to your cabins!"

"Meet me here tomorrow before breakfast," he said before getting up and walking to his cabin

Smiling, Ginny slowly got up and made her way back to her own cabin. She had finally found someone who didn't sneer when she had informed them of her last name. Who didn't insult her because of who her family was. She had finally found a friend.

Ginny's First Year...

*Flashback*

Walking into the Great Hall for the very first time, she could feel everyone's eyes looking in her direction. Sighing, she looked around the hall for any sign of her brothers. Seeing them, she sneered inwardly to herself. She abruptly turned her head away. Remembering the letter from her best friend, she turned her head towards the left side of the hall. Their eyes met. He quickly nodded his head in greeting. Smirking in return, she saw that he was seated beside a very cute blonde boy. Before she could even get a closer look at the boy, she had reached the stool with the sorting hat sitting upon it. She stood there admiring the hall and lost in her own thoughts until she heard her name.

"Ginevra Weasley!" yelled Professor McGonnagall

Squaring her shoulders, she stalked confidently to the stool and sat down gracefully. Glancing towards the Gryffindor table, she saw them all. All of her brothers were smiling up at her.

"Ah yes, another Weasley, but the last of this generation. There is something different about you though. Something... Very different. But I see it is something special, and that makes my decision for me. Better be... Slytherin!"

Quickly, she looked towards her brothers. Percy was staring up at her in disbelief and horror. Ron was glaring at the Slytherin's, his face was so flushed that it matched his hair. Fred and George were just sitting there with identical looks of complete and utter shock. She got up gracefully, and walked straight towards the Slytherin table.

'This is gonna be absolute hell' she thought

As she reached the Slytherin table, she felt a pair of eyes on her. Looking up, she found herself looking into the eyes of her best friend. A small smile spread across her face as she noticed he was motioning for her to join him and his friends.

'Or not' She thought smirking as she sat down between her best friend and the cute blonde boy.

*End of Flashback*

*Flashback*

"I don't see what is such a big deal!" yelled Ginny

"Of course you don't!" yelled Roderick in return "Your nothing but a little naive child!"

"That is rich, coming from you! You are barely a year older then me!" she yelled

"Look Ginny, besides Malfoy, Zabini and Nott, your my best friend. You are the sister I always wanted-" he tried to explain calming his voice

"Ro, You have three younger sisters-" she started to say

"Yes, but none of them like Quiddatch, or know what school is like. I can't tease them without them going to one of my parents. Your my fun 'sister'" he said before sitting down in a huff

"Awweh Ro, I love you too. Your my best friend. Now, can you please tell me why you are so angry?" she asked, still irritated

"Because your chasing after four Gryffindor boys. Two of which treat you like your covered in bloody Dragon dung. The other two acknowledge you and treat you great until somebody else is round!" he yelled standing up again

"So, they are my brothers!" she yelled shaking on the verge of tears

"I hate seeing you in pain. Every time I see you after they treat you unkindly, I get so mad. I just want to torture them!" he explained

"I get that Roderick, but I can't just give up on them" she said quietly

"Then do whatever you 'need' to do. But they will never accept you for who you are, only we Slytherins will!" he yelled before storming out of the common room slamming the portrait shut behind him.

There was no stopping them. The tears sprang free and cascaded down her face at such a rate that her robes were soaked in seconds. She slumped down on the couch. It wasn't long before she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder. Seeing as how it was very uncommon thing in Slytherin, she looked up with a questioning look on her face. Gasping. she started blinking and wiping the tears away.

"What do you want now Malfoy?" she snapped bitterly

"Whoa Ginny, no need to snap my head off," he said plopping down beside her

"Sorry, what do you want Malfoy?" she asked trying to sound nice, but the venomous tone leaked through causing him to inch away

"Surprisingly nothing. I heard the fight between you and Roderick. He has a point." he said

"You think I am wasting my time talking to my brothers?" she spat

"Not quite. I think you are wasting your time with the Prefect and the Potter worshipper. But, I do not think you are wasting your time with the twins. Now, go up and clean your face so people don't start to doubt the fact that you are a Slytherin so we can go to dinner. I'm starved." he explained

"Why would I got to dinner with you?" she asked skeptically

"Because I am offering to be your friend, and going to dinner is what friends do" he said sticking out his hand "Friends?"

"Friends" she replied shaking his hand

"Good, now go freshen up for dinner," he replied

"Fine" she replied sighing

*End of Flashback*

*Flashback*

It was a nice warm day outside. Sun shining, birds chirping as they flew in the blue skies. In Ginny's mind, it was the most perfect day. She was sitting in History of Magic staring out the window that over looked the Black Lake. Sighing, she turned her attention back to Professor Binns. He was rambling on and on about some Goblin Rebellion again. Rolling her eyes, she turned her attention back to the scenery outside. Gazing out towards the Black Lake she saw the Care of Magical Creatures class leave the Forbidden Forest. A second later the bell rang loud over the grounds and through the halls. Hearing the bell signalling the end of classes, she snapped out of her day dream. After she hurriedly gathered up her books, she left the classroom as fast as she could.

"Gin Gin!" yelled a voice

Turning around, she saw her two best friends. Roderick Snape and Draco Malfoy were running down the corridor to catch up to her.

"What are you doing now?" asked Roderick when him and Draco caught up to her

"I am going to go and put my books up in my dorm" she explained

"Mmm, that is not going to work Gin," Draco replied shaking his head at her

"... Why?" she asked raising an eyebrow up at him

"We just had Potions, and my dad kept me, Draco, Nott and Zabini after," Roderick replied "He was informed that you are failing History of Magic, Transfiguration, and that you may need a little help in Herbology."

"So...?" she asked clueless

"So... us four are going to help you out," responded Draco "Nott and Zabini are waiting for us outside by the willow tree"

They continued walking in silence until the reached the willow. They quickly decided that they would start studying tomorrow and just enjoy the afternoon. They were sitting around eating candy and making fun of the Gryffindors when a shadow cast over them. Looking up they saw a very angry looking redhead. Behind him was a bushy haired girl and messy black haired boy.

"What do you want Ronald?" Ginny asked exasperated

"Ginevra, why are you hanging with these bloody losers?" he asked ignoring her question

"They aren't losers! They are my friends" she stated in a deadly calm voice

"How can you be friends with them?" he asked through clenched teeth "They hate Weasley's and Gryffindors"

"In case you haven't noticed Ronald. I'm not a Gryffindor, and they look past my last name and see me for who I am!" she yelled "Somebody once told me that my family will never except now that I am a Slytherin, only the Slytherin's will. At the time, I didn't want to believe it let alone admit it, he was and is right"

"What are you on about?" he asked frustrated

"Oh don't be daft now Ronald. I have noticed. It's almost June and this is the first time you have talked to me since the train ride here. Percy looks at me in disgust, and only talks to me to get me into trouble. Fred and George ignore me completely, unless nobody is around. I have seen you four receive letters from Errol-" she explained

"Errol?" asked Blaise Zabini

"Family owl," she explained glancing at Blaise before she spun back to glare at her brother "Anyways... I have seen you four receive letters. I wrote home every week from the start of September to the end of March. I have not received a single response from either mum or dad." she finished explaining with tears in her eyes

Draco was standing to her right, beside her with his wand out in case something happened, Roderick was to her left. He looked over at Ginny to see tears threatening to spill over.

"Get lost Weasel. Ginny has been distraught all year because of your family. She doesn't need to be even more so this close to finals." Draco spat

*End of Flashback*

Summer before Ginny's Second Year...

*Flashback*

She loved days like this. Slightly rainy with a bright sun making the rain drops glisten. Staring out her bedroom window, she couldn't help but think of happier days. Days where she was the apple of her dad's eye, his little poppet. Days where she received hugs all the time. Days where her family didn't treat her like she was about to kill them. Ever since she went to Hogwarts they have changed their mannerisms towards her. She never asked to be placed in a different house then her brothers. Especially not their enemy house. She hadn't changed in the slightest. Had she? It really didn't matter anymore. They hated her, no matter what. Nothing would change that fact. Sighing, she looked down at the letter in her hand. It had been two weeks since school had got out, and she had gotten a letter everyday from Roderick. They basically all said the same thing over and over, but this one was different. Walking over to her bed, she sat down and began reading her latest letter.

Gin,

How are you? I ask that only because I don't know how to start a letter, especially this letter otherwise. I know you are not very well. Your last letter kind of scared me a lot. It didn't sound like you. I thought I was going mental at first. Until I showed it to Draco when he was over here yesterday. He agreed that it was scary.

We talked to my parents last night. They are now insisting that you come stay with us for a bit this summer. My father is giving you a week. If you do not respond by the need of the week, we will come pay a visit.

Please write back. I guess I will see you soon no matter if you do or not.

Ro

'One more chance' she thought to herself 'Just one more'

Standing up, she walked over to her vanity and dropped the letter casually on the top of her text books. Sighing, she grabbed her sweater and ran downstairs. Upon entering the main flor, she noticed that her family had started eating lunch without her. Grabbing a plate, she sat down and started piling food onto it.

"Oh, Ginevra. Ron is having Harry and Hermione over for a couple of weeks. Can you make sure your room is presentable?" Molly asked

"... It's clean," Ginny replied like her mother was crazy

"No. You see... What I meant is... Can you make sure your house robes, and anything else that is associated with... Your house is hidden or sent away?" Molly asked giving Ginny a pointed look

"... Why?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow

"Because Hermione is going to staying in your room. She is a Gryffindor and we don't want to offend her." Arthur explained in haste

Ginny's eyes narrowed as a sneer worthy of any Slytherin spread across her face. Pushing her plate away and abruptly standing up from the table, she stalked upstairs to her room. Slamming her bedroom door as hard as she could, she grabbed a quill, a piece of parchment and some ink and started writing.

Ro,

Come and get me A.S.A.P, and bring your dad. I need to get out of her as soon as possible.

Ginny

She walked over to her black owl and tied the letter to her leg. Her owl, Esmeralda, was a gift to her from Draco and Roderick for her twelfth birthday. She was a beautiful black owl with a silver tinge to the tips of her feathers. Her piercing yellow eyes made anyone jump once she fixed her stare upon them. To Ginny, Esmeralda was the perfect owl.

Grabbing a book off of her bed side table, she climbed into bed. Reading the title, she groaned slightly. Wizardry Pure blood Families. Sighing, she opened the book to where she left off. The Malfoy family. Soon, she had become so engrossed with reading that she didn't hear anybody floo in downstairs. It wasn't until she heard Fred and George yell did she came too. Curious, she snapped her book shut and through it on her bed as she ran downstairs.

"What are you doing here Professor?" asked Arthur

"To seek permission-" Professor Snape began

"Permission for what exactly?" Molly asked urgently

"Permission to have your daughter as a guest in my home for two or three weeks. Starting immediately." Professor Snape stated leaving no room for discussion

During the exchange between his father and, whom he guessed were Ginny's parents, Roderick stood quietly beside his father. Hearing a creak on the stairs, Roderick looked in that direction. Standing at the bottom of the stairs was his best friend. He started to smile until he saw her face. Her friendly smile was missing. The glint of mischief and happiness that was usually plastered in her eyes was absent. Knowing the only thing that would make her smile again, he spoke.

"How about the rest of the summer Father?" Roderick asked winking at Ginny, receiving a small smile

Snape looked down at his son with a raised eyebrow, only to find him looking somewhere else. Following his son's train of sight, his eyes landed on a young girl. At second glance, he saw the young girl was in fact Ginny Weasley. Anger flew through him as he saw how depressed she looked. Sneering, he turned back to her parents with a glare.

"My son is correct. The rest of the summer would be better suited," He stated without giving them an option

Upon hearing the word 'yes', Ginny fled upstairs to her bedroom and grabbed he prepacked trunk and through all her other things into a everextendingcharmed bag that Blaise Zabini had given her for her birthday. When she re-entered the main floor, Professor Snape grabbed her trunk and bag from her and stalked outside. Glancing at Roderick, she shrugged and he followed his dad. Taking on last look at all the occupants of The Burrow, she sneered. Everybody had retreated back to their recent activities. Sighing, she stalked out of the house, slamming the door as she went. Smiling, she ran and caught up with Severus and Roderick.

*End of Flashback*

Ginny's Second Year...

*Flashback*

Humming to herself, she walked down the train's corridor. She was on her way to go find Pansy Parkinson. She hated walking around by herself, but she needed to get away from Crabbe and Goyle. Taking Draco's advice, she left. Peering into a virtually empty, she opened the door. Pansy was sitting by the window, with her head leaning up against the cold glass. Slamming the door, she made Pansy squeal and jump out of her silent trance. Smirking, Ginny went and sat down across from her.

"What do you want Weasley?" asked Pansy sneering

"Sanctuary-" stated Ginny in a calm voice as she looked out at the rolling landscape

"From what?" Pansy asked curiously

"Crabbe and Goyle" Ginny stated sitting down

"Figures," huffed Pansy

"Mmm... Anyways, Draco told me to come and find and hang out with you" explained Ginny

"Oh... Did he tell you anything about us?" Pansy asked

"No... Why?" responded Ginny raising an eyebrow

"He's my betrothed," Pansy mumbled

"I'm sorry, " Ginny responded sincerely

"Mmm, thanks," responded Pansy giving a small smile

"So... Do you usually sit by yourself?" asked Ginny, trying to change the topic

"No, I usually sit with Draco and the other Slytherins," said Pansy looking up at the dreary sky

"So why are you alone today?" Ginny asked

"I'm too ashamed. I don't like Draco as more than a friend. I like someone else, but I don't know how he feels. I haven't seen him since we were told about the betrothal and he seemed happy from what I could tell," vented Pansy

"Why don't you still sit with him, you two will have to talk about it sooner or later" asked Ginny "You like a Slytherin right?"

"Too awkward and yes of course I like a Slytherin!" screeched Pansy

"Good, I'd hate to see what Draco would be like if you liked a Hufflepuff or Gryffindor" said Ginny thoughtfully

"Merlin, that would be terrifying!" laughed Pansy

"Who is it?" asked Ginny

"Why should I tell you?" sneered Pansy

"Because I am a Slytherin and could probably help you date him," stated Ginny with no emotion

"Roderick," Pansy responded blushing

"Nice" Ginny stated sticking out her hand "Friends?"

"Friends," Pansy replied shaking Ginny's hand

*End of Flashback*

*Flashback*

Ginny was once again staring out the window. It was pouring rain. sighing, she turned back to her Herbology essay. Sneering, she continued to write. Once she had finished, she packed up her books and started down to the Slytherin common room. She hated the walk from the library to the dungeons. As she was entering her own little world, she was grabbed and pulled into a deserted classroom. Screaming, she felt a hand slap over her mouth. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she became aware that she was in the presence of four others. As soon as she could clearly see, somebody muttered 'lumos'. Gasping, she looked up into the faces of her four brothers. The four of them all looked at her with the same unreadable expression. Fred and George came up behind her and pushed her into a chair. Looking up at them, she started to get scared.

'Be Slytherin' she thought 'Be cold, uncaring and brush off anything they say. Show no emotion'

"Hello Ginny," Fred started with a smile

"Frederick" she responded coldly with a curt nod

This automatically got their attention. Not once in her twelve years had she called any of them, except Ron, by their full names. Nor had she ever been so cold to any of them either. Smirking at their stunned expressions, she started talking again.

"Why am I here Percival?" she asked sneering in his direction

"We want you to change houses" Ron stated

"Out of the question Ronald," she stated folding her arms

"Since when have you started calling us by our full names?" asked George

"Since when have you four started talking to me at school?" she growled jumping up

Instinctively, all four of them took a step back. They had seen her temper unleashed before. It wasn't very pretty. It reminded them of their mothers temper. Their mother's temper definatly wasn't pretty. Rolling her eyes, she stalked over to the door. She stopped and turned to look at them all.

"Next time you 'kidnap' someone to interrogate them, make sure they are securely bound to the chair," she stated simply before sweeping out of the classroom

*End of Flashback*

*Flashback*

She couldn't believe it. She just couldn't believe it. How could she be disowned? She never did anything wrong. She never asked to be put into Slytherin. It was un-just. It was un-fair.

She had been walking around aimlessly since she had received the letter from her parents.

'No' she thought 'They weren't my parents anymore, I have no parents'

At this thought, she collapsed onto the cold dungeon floor and wept. Footsteps were approaching her, but she didn't care. She continued to lie on the ground. Once the footsteps had reached her, she looked up. There, standing over her was Professor Snape. Once he saw her tear stained face, all anger left him. Bending down he picked her up and carried her back to his office. Once there he sat her down onto a nearby desk. He walked over to his closet and pulled out two vials. A Calming Draught and a Cheering Potion.

"Drink this" he stated handing her the Calming Draught

After he had seen her gulp it back, he walked over to the fireplace and flooed the Slytherin common room.

"Malfoy! Roderick!" he yelled scaring the whole Slytherin house "Get to my office now!"

Cancelling the floo connection, he turned to look at his student. she was always smiling and held off emotions. Today however, she was pale, depressed and tear stained.

'I wonder what happened' he thought

No sooner had he thought this, did his office door burst open. In the doorway stood his son and god-son looking both anxious and scared.

"Dad" said Roderick "What is the matter?"

"Ginevra seems to be distraught," he responded sitting down in his chair

"Gin?" asked Draco

"Hello Dray, Ro." she responded quietly looking down

"Gin, what's the matter?" Roderick asked as he sat down on the right side of her, Draco on her left

"Read" she commanded handing him the letter "Out loud"

"Alright..." he said taking the letter " Ginevra, me and Molly have had a talk with Percy. It seems that you do not wish to have a house change. To us that is clear evidence that you do not wish to be a Weasley anymore. We have come to a conclusion. You are here by disowned. As such, you are not allowed over at our place ever again. Arthur Weasley."

The silence that conjured over the four after Roderick was finished dragged on for what seemed like minutes. Ginny slid down from the3 table and walked over to the open window. It was dark out. The moon glistened off of the Black Lake's glass like surface. She could feel their gazes on her back. They were waiting for her to respond. For her to say something, anything.

"Pathetic" she said

"Pardon?" asked Severus

"Pathetic" she responded "That is what they are. Pathetic. I had always known they were traitors to the wizardry world. I just never thought they would be traitors to me, their own flesh and blood"

"Understandable mistake" Severus nodded his head

"What will you do?" asked Roderick

"She will move in with us. It only makes sense" stated Severus walking over to Ginny "That is, if she wants"

"That would be wonderful Severus" Ginny stated, turning around to give Severus a hug

"I will write to Caroline now then. You three better head back to the common room. It is nearly curfew" he stated ushering them out of his office

"Yes Professor" they chorused jokingly as they left the office

*End of Flashback*

Summer before Ginny's Third Year...

*Flashback*

"Ginevra!" yelled Severus "Can you come down to my parlour please?"

"Coming Sev!" she yelled back

Ginny quickly grabbed her sweater ad swept out of the room. Sighing she started to make her way down to Severus' parlour. Upon reaching the door, she raised a small fist and wrapped on the door. Hearing the beckoning call to enter, she slipped in and shut the door behind her.

"You wanted to see me Severus?" Ginny asked.

"Yes. Caroline and I wanted to talk with you. Please sit down" he explained pointing to an empty chair in front of his desk

Looking around once she was seated, she felt at home and safe. The furniture was dark mahogany . Book shelves lines the walls from top to bottom. They were covered in all kinds of things. The cushions were a deep green velvet. The couch and cushioned chairs on the far end of the room were a matching green velvet also. The fireplace was lit, and the light from it was casting a warm glow over the three occupants of the room. To Ginny's left was Caroline. Her light brown hair was glowing in the firelight. Her sparkling brown eyes were alive with love, joy and welcoming. Severus sat in his high backed chair behind his desk.

"Ginevra, we wanted to talk to you about your unfortunate situation" he started

"My situation?" asked Ginny

"You being disowned dear. Now, neither Severus or I have been disowned before, so we can't know exactly what you are going through, or how you are feeling. But, I can imagine that you are feeling lost and betrayed. Am I correct?" Caroline stated

"Yes," Ginny clarified full of worry

"So, we were talking about what to get you for your impending birthday and we settled on a gift." he said glancing at his wife quickly before snapping his back to Ginny "The thing is, we need your permission"

"What is it?" asked Ginny curiously

"The Parental Vow" said Caroline grinning

"Really?" squealed Ginny exhilarated "That would be amazing!"

"I thought you would say that. Go and get dressed. We leave in an hour for the Ministry. We will take the other four so we can go out for a celebratory lunch afterwards" said Severus smiling as he got up and walked to the door holding it open for the girls

"Thank you Severus, and thank you Caroline." Ginny said smiling "This means a lot to me"

"Oh Ginevra dear, you best get used to calling us Mum and Dad" laughed Caroline as she embraced Ginny

Stunned, Ginny just stood there in her future Mother's loving and protective embrace. Tears sprang from her eyes as she returned the hug. With a smile on her face, she ran upstairs to change into her best clothes.

*End of Flashback*

Ginny's Third Year...

*Flashback*

"I can't believe Scarhead got us all put into detention" fumed Draco

"You hexed him!" argued Blaise

"He tryed to hex Gin!" Draco argued back forcefully

"Dray, my Dad taught me hexes so I can protect myself," Ginny said stepping in front of Draco and putting a calming hand on his chest "I appreciate it Dray, but I now feel that it is my fault that we are in detention"

"It isn't your fault" he said calmly

"My sister can take care of herself. Dad is shocked that she can put as much magic as she does into those hexes, and the fact that she can do them with no wand and non-verbal too is even more shocking." commented Roderick

"Look at the bright side Dray" yelled Ginny as she was about to the round the corner

"What bright side?" yelled back Draco

"At least we got detention with my Dad," laughed Ginny as she rounded the corner

Mumbling their agreement, the three boys rounded the corner to see she was already leaning against the wall outside the potions classroom. As they reached the door, the Golden Trio were storming down the steps leading from the entrance hall. When the Gryffindors reached the Slytherins, the door to the dungeons sprang open.

"Enter!" bellowed Severus from within

The seven entered very quietly. The Slytherins with grace and confidence, the Gryffindors with fear and nervousness.

"Weasley. Potter. Granger. You will be washing the floor. There is a bucket and a tooth brush for each of you. No magic!" he stated, not looking up from his marking

"But sir, which Weasley?" asked Ron

"I beg your pardon?" asked Severus looking up

"There are two Weasley's in the room sir" responded Ron

"You are wrong Mr. Weasley. I see only one Weasley in this room, and that is you" replied Severus setting down his quill

"But, Ginny is a-" Hermione started

"Snape!" exclaimed Ginny and Roderick

"What!" yelled the Golden Trio

"Gin, I think you should explain" responded Severus as he sat back in his chair

"Well Weasley, after your parents disowned me, Severus and his wife Caroline took me in. Then for my thirteenth birthday, they adopted me by giving me The Parental Vow. As of that day, I was no longer Ginny Weasley. I am now Ginevra Snape, and I will be Ginevra Snape until the times comes for me to marry." she explained turning to Severus "What would you like us to do Dad?"

"Draco and you can sort through the ingredients and refill the containers and after that is down you can bring them to Roderick and Blaise who will be re-labelling them" He said smiling at Ginny "Get to work"

The detention went on for a couple of hours. The four Slytherins sat there and conversed with Severus basically the whole time. When the detention was over, the four Slytherins walked back to the common room laughing as they remembered the look on The Golden Trio's faces when they were given their detention and when they received the news of Ginny's adoption.

*End of Flashback*

Ginny's Fourth Year...

*Flashback*

"Oi! Ginny! Come here!" yelled Draco from across the Slytherin common room

"Yes Dray?" She asked

"Have you read the bulletin yet?" he asked curiously

"Nah, I don't usually. Why?" she questioned

"Curious. I didn't want to go read it myself. I was hoping you could tell me whats new in Hogwarts." he stated "Hows classes?"

"Blah. I loath History of Magic and Transfiguration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts is a complete bore and a pathetic waste of my valuable time." she stated

"Well what do you want to do when your older?" he asked looking around the common room.

It was midnight. Nobody was in the common room anymore. They were sitting on the couch barely an inch from each other. He wanted to reach out and touch her in some way, but he was scared to.

"No clue yet. I do know I would like to be a mum at some point. But career wise I never really gave it much thought. Probably something in the Ministry or a shop owner" she stated thoughtfully

"Well depending on what area of the ministry you want to get into, you will need all three of those courses. As for being a shop owner, you don't need them at all. You'd kick Merlin's arse any day in DADA though, no worries there. I can help you after classes with the other two if you'd like. As for being a mother, you don't need them, all you would need is a guy-" she stated

"A guy who loves me, and will take care of me and won't run out the moment I tell him I'm expecting." she stated solemnly "And that would be great if you helped me with classes"

"Okay, when?" he asked eager to keep the subject off of guys

"Every time I have homework in those classes," she laughed "So every night?"

"That works," he stated "Now, go check the bulletin board. You won't be sorry"

He gently pushed her up off the couch and towards the bulletin board. He swiftly got up and followed her so he could see her expression. Once she was in front of the bulletin board he pointed out the piece of paper that she had to see. Gasping, she turned around and jumped into his arms, squealing. When she pulled away slightly to see his face they were only an inch away from each other. She gulped. He gulped. She looked into his Mercury eyes. He looked into her emerald eyes before looking down at her lips. She looked down at his and before they could do anything else, their lips crashed against each other. Neither of them knew who kissed who first and neither of them cared. Draco slowly started to move her towards the couch and gently pushed her down onto her back. Grazing her bottom lip with his tongue, he begged for entrance. She slowly parted her lips to allow it to him. Their senses heightened. Their skin yearned to be felt by each others touch. Draco's hands slowly started to run over Ginny's body as their kissing deepened and became more sensual. His hands started to push up her skirt and when she didn't push his hand away he lifted it full up and started playing with her hem line. As he felt her moan into his mouth, she reached down and undid his pants that had grown quite tight at the crotch. As she slipped her hand into his boxers, he pulled down her lace thong and jammed a finger into her warm, wet centre. At the same time she jerked her hand up and down his hard, juicy cock. Moaning into each others mouths they started moving their hands faster. Draco soon slipped another finger into her tight pussy and started moving his hand faster. She pulled away from his kiss as she started moving her hand up and down even faster.

"More Draco. More fingers. I wanna cum" she moaned sensually into his ear before crashing her lips back onto his

Obeying her, he slid two more fingers into her tight wet pussy and started rubbing her clit with his thumb. Pretty soon she was moving her hand even faster and bucking up to meet his hand at every thrust it made. They were close. Their moans muffled by each others lips. She could feel the pulse in his rock hard cock throbbing. He could feel her getting wetter and wetter, and her walls getting tighter with every thrust. When they were on the edge of cumming, Ginny pulled away and started to suck on his hard cock.

"Oh Merlin Gin. I'm gonna cum if you keep doing that." Draco whispered in a throaty voice

"Good." she pulled away just enough so she could say it.

Groaning, he took her by the legs and swung her around so her dripping pussy was in his face. Before she could register what he was going to do, she felt his wet tongue plunge into her warms wet lips. Moaning against his cock she felt his seed shoot into her mouth. At the same time she was exploding her juices all over his tongue and into his mouth. Pulling away from each other they just stared at each other, until Draco licked his lips.

"We best be going to bed Ginny." he stated doing his pant's back up and gathering his books

"Yeah, we should" She agreed pulling up her thong

"Goodnight Ginny." he said as he walked over to the staircase leading to the boys dormitory's

"Night Draco." she responded glancing towards the fire

Stopping at the foot of the stairs, he turned to look at her. She was beautiful in the firelight. It cast a warm glow over her lightly freckled face and brought out the natural golden highlights in her hair. He wanted nothing more then to hold her and kiss her passionately. Sighing, he spoke up.

"Oh, Ginny" he said

"Yeah?" she asked turning to look at him

"Congratulations on getting the Chaser position." he said before disappearing up the stairs

As she watched the love of her life walk up the stairs she mentally smacked herself. She wanted to call him back. Do something so tomorrow wouldn't be awkward. Groaning she got up and walked up to her dormitory. Her last thought before she drifted off to a sleep that was filled with a cute blonde haired boy, was 'Merlin, your stupid'.

*End of Flashback*

*Flashback*

She was walking aimlessly down the corridors. She had finished all of her homework. All her friends were busy, and as much as she liked reading, she didn't want to be reading on a beautiful Friday afternoon. She was engrossed in her own thoughts that she had walked through two ghosts and ran into Peeves. Turning the corner, she walked right into something hard. Looking up she was starting into the eyes of Fred Weasley. He smiled gently and all she could do was sneer and walked around him. As she was walking around him, she walked into another hard object. Looking at the robes she saw the Slytherin emblem, smiling she looked up into the face of Roderick. He glanced behind her to where Fred was standing looking at Ginny in confusion, before he spoke.

"Dad said you were looking for me?" he asked wondering if she was all right

"Yeah, he told me you had a detention." she stated as she started to walk

"Mmm, always do your Transfiguration homework," he laughed "What's up?"

"Bored, thought you would have an idea" she said glancing at him

"Ginny, you are the one with the fun ideas. I am just the brains," he joked

"Well I guess the rolls have switched" she said dryly

"Whats with you lately?" he asked "You barely talk to anyone anymore, and when you do, it is in a monotone voice"

"It's nothing Ro, just forget it." she said forcefully

"Nah. tell me." he urged

"I'm warning you Ro, don't get me mad" she warned

"Tell me, or I will tell Dad and you know what he will do" he told her

"Ugh! Fine, but not here. It has to be somewhere private" she said as she she dragged him by the arm into an abandoned classroom

Once she had shut the door behind them and pushed Roderick into the closest chair, she put a locking spell on the door and performed a silencing spell. Turning to him, she conjured up a chair and sat down gracefully. She sat there for a moment studying him under her piercing gaze. Sighing, she turned towards the window and gazed at the birds flying around outside.

"I like someone," she stated quietly

"I figured it had to do with something like that, who is he?" Roderick asked concerned

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" she asked

"Our little secret," He responded holding out his pinky to her "Pinky swear"

"It's Draco." she said laughing as she interlocked her pinky with his.

"I figured you liked him, Blaise of Theodore" he stated smiling "So... what is the problem with liking Draco, that has got you so non Ginny?"

"The fact that I am just his best friend and nothing else to him, and never will be." she stated calmly

"How do you know that?" he asked moving his chair so he could sit next to her

"Because he doesn't treat me any different then he used to, and he didn't like me when we first met." she mumbled

"What did you do Gin?" asked Roderick looking at her questionably

"What do you mean?" she asked scared

"You did something to get his attention didn't you?" he asked

"I may have signed up for modelling..." she said looking up at the ceiling

"Ginny!" yelled Roderick standing up "You know Draco doesn't like materialistic girls!"

"I know! It was a moment of weakness Roderick. Mum and Dad said I could if I liked. I accepted. I have my first job on Saturday. Mum is meeting me in Dumbledore's office and she is escorting me. I want to do this for me Ro, not just because he will notice me as more then his friend" she said as tears threatened to cascade down her cheeks

"I don't like it..." he said caring

"I didn't think you would. But I want to do this. Please accept that?" she asked looking at him teary eyed

"I will. But you better not come crying to me when he still doesn't notice you" he said before walking out of the class room without letting her to say anything in response

Smiling, she left as well. She had gained a new spring to her step and a more confident air to her.

*End of Flashback*

*Flashback*

"So, how was the modelling session on Thursday?" Pansy asked as her and Ginny walked into the Entrance Hall

"Great! It was for the Muggle clothing designer Dior. I got a free shopping spree from them. Wanna come?" asked Ginny as she pulled her long red locks into a high pony tail

"Ah durp! Of course! Did you even have to ask?"laughed Pansy

"Nah, just wanted to see your reaction." laughed Ginny

"Ginny?" said a small voice from behind the two girls

Spinning around, Ginny saw the entire Weasley clan, plus Potter and Granger staring at her. Groaning she turned to Pansy and inclined her head to the Weasley's.

"I'll go handle this. I'll meet you in the common room" Ginny said confidently

"Okay..." Pansy said uncertainly

"I'll be fine. My dad taught me well." laughed Ginny with an evil smirk

With one last curious look towards the mostly red haired group of people, Pansy swept out of the Entrance Hall. Turning, Ginny put on her most innocent face and walked over to her old family. Once she reached them, everybody took a step back. Rolling her eyes at their antics, she spoke.

"Yes Molly?" asked Ginny nicely

"Hello Ginny, how are you?" she asked uncertainly

"Well. You?" asked Ginny trying to be civil

"Very well, thanks" Molly responded taken back by Ginny's nice tone of voice

"That is good. How about you Arthur?" asked Ginny

"Um... good" said Arthur clearly surprised to be addressed to nicely

"Mmm, that's good. Now, I don't mean to be rude, but why are you talking to me?" asked Ginny curiously

"We miss you." Percy spoke up from behind Arthur

Through out the entire group came a collective agreement. Shocked, Ginny didn't know what to say. She quickly swallowed the tears that threatened to spill over.

"Oh?" she asked

"Yes, Ginny. Please come home?" begged Molly

"I can't Molly. I'm sorry." Ginny stated

"Why?" asked Arthur

"Snape!" she heard a voice yell across the Entrance Hall

Turning around, she laughed as she saw her Quiddatch captain walk up to her and do a double take to the people she was in company with. Giving her a quizzical look, he approached her.

"MacCauley!" she yelled back

"Malfoy wanted me to inform you that he will be waiting for you in the common room at 7 tonight for your practice" he said confused

"Thanks." she said smirking

"Mmm, see you at supper." he said before walking away

"Why did he just call you Snape?" asked Arthur as Ginny turned to face them again

"Because that is my last name.." she said like it was obvious

"Since when?" asked Molly

"Since my thirteenth birthday when Professor Snape and his wife Caroline adopted me." she said moving to lean against the wall "I'm surprised Ronald didn't tell you. He has known since the detention we shared last year"

"WHAT!" screeched Molly and Arthur

"And so did Fred now that I think of it. So, if he knew, he more then likely told George," Ginny said thoughtfully

"WHAT!" screeched Molly and Arthur again

"How come you didn't tell us Ron?" asked Bill questioningly

"I was so confused. And why am I to be blamed. Mum and Dad didn't even tell us she was disowned. I found out that night in detention too." Ron explained accusingly

"WHAT!" screeched all the Weasley men, save for Ron and Percy

"Well... Percy knew she was disowned, we thought he would have told everyone." explained Molly leaving no room for argument

"You should have been the ones to tell us though Mum," said Charlie

"Well.. what's done is done." huffed Molly

"How come you didn't tell me Gred?" asked George sounding hurt

"I didn't know what I had heard. She walked into me one day and refused to smile and when she walked around me she walked straight into the other Snape and he said something about his dad telling him she was looking for him, I didn't know what it meant." he explained

"Wow, you guys have issues." Ginny stated almost at the point of laughing "The point is Molly, I can't go back to The Burrow because that isn't my home anymore. It won't ever be again. My home is at Snape Manor with my older brother and little sisters and parents. I would like to establish some kind of relationship with you guys. An Aunt and Uncle/Niece relationship. Nothing more, nothing less."

"That can work... will you come visit?" asked Arthur

"Once in a while." she responded "You guys hurt me beyond repair."

"How?" asked Molly

"You were my family, and when something I had no control over happened, you guys abandoned me and adopted Potter and Granger into the family. The Snape family was there through it all and was my shoulder, my rock, my guardian angels, my family." she explained standing up "Now, I will write to you to tell you when I am able to come visit. I have to get to the library and get some books before I meet Draco"

Without waiting for a response, she left them standing there looking at her retreating form. Sighing she ducked behind the tapestry to sulk and let her emotions over take her. She was shocked when all she did was laugh.

*End of Flashback*

Summer before Ginny's Fifth Year...

*Flashback*

"Hey Dad." Ginny said as she strolled into his parlour

"Hello Kiddo," he said as he put down his quill and opened his arms for a hug

"I missed you," she laughed as she was welcomed into a hug by him

"I missed you too, it wasn't fiery enough here," he said as they pulled away and Ginny went to sit down in her usual chair by the fireplace "How was your visit?"

"Well enough. I do have something to tell you though" she said looking in the fire

"What is it?" he asked curious

"Imadatingpotter..." she mumbled quietly

"I beg your pardon?" he asked unable to hear her

"I'm dating Potter..." she said quietly, but clearly

"Does this have to do with making a young Mr. Malfoy jealous?" he asked

When she looked up completely shocked, he laughed. He couldn't help it. Her face looked like a Hippogriff caught in the Knight Buses head lights. At his laughing, she looked confused.

"I heard you and Pansy talking about it the last time she was over. I was not eavesdropping either. Just as a warning, next time you are talking about something like that, make sure it is in your room away from ears. I don't need to hear about your love life. I wouldn't like to hear that about any of my daughters love lives." he explained

"Yes Dad." she replied blushing

"No go and un packed if you haven't already and I would explain why you are dating Potter to Roderick and I would write to your other friends as well" he said

"Yes Dad" she said giving him a quick hug before leaving his parlour to go up to her chambers.

*End of Flashback*

Summer before Ginny's Sixth Year...

*Flashback*

"Where are we going Dad?" asked Beth for the third time that day

"On a vacation with the Malfoy family" he responded barely listening

"Yes, but where Dad?" asked Sophie

"Somewhere warm," he said

"That could be anywhere Honey," responded Caroline as she came down the stairs with Ginny and Julia following her

"You don't even know Mum?" asked Roderick shocked

"No. Only him and Lucius know." she responded putting down her suitcase next to the others

"That is correct dear" Severus said as he walked over to his wife to give a welcoming kiss

"Hello?" called a male voice from the family parlour

"In here Lucius!" called Severus

"Hello everybody" greeted Lucius as he and his family entered the Entrance Hall of Snape Manor

"Hello" said all of the Snapes

Once everyone was occupied with their own tasks, Lucius walked up to Ginny. He knew that she like Draco, she had bluntly told him about a year ago. This trip was part of the plan that Lucius and Severus set out. The plan was for Draco to see how much he truly loved Ginny. It was obvious to everyone but the two of them that their feelings were mutual. At the moment, she was currently talking to Draco about school. It was common knowledge in the Slytherin house and the families that she was only dating Potter to try to make the guy she liked jealous.

"So Ginny, you still dating Potter?" asked Lucius

"Yes. But not for long. I fully intend to break it off with him as soon as I can. I hate feeling obligated to hang out with him and his friends. I greatly dislike Granger. She should have been in Ravenclaw." she vented

"Ravenclaw is too good for her though." Draco laughed

"Too true, too true." remarked Ginny laughing

"Well, all the best to you Ginny. I hope the guy you like comes to his senses and snatches you up." responded Lucius

"Me too Lucius" she said shyly
