The wind never blew this hard on a Sunday afternoon. Ginny was sitting next to the lake, trying to concentrate on her transfiguration essay, while her mind wandered off to the fight she had had with Ron. He was mad at her, because she sneaked to Hogsmeade with her best friend; Blaise Zabini, and had gotten drunk. Ron never actually got over the fact that Blaise was his little sister's best friend. Not only was he a slytherin, but he was one year older than Ginny, which made Ron think that he had bad intentions. But all those who knew how Ginny's and Blaise's friendship was, knew that no bad intentions were present, from neither sides. The thing that Ron didn't knew, was that Blaise and Ginny did this at least twice a week, to forget their troubles and ignore everything around them. Others said they were a couple. How wrong could they be? Blaise was more Ginny's older brother than anything else. But then of course, Ron was very ignorant and didn't want to see past the prejudice that came with being a slytherin. And by doing that, he convinced Harry and Hermione that he was right. Ginny was sad when she saw that the trio was rejecting her in such a terrible way.

But she was over that. Blaise became her best friend two years ago, when Ginny lost her father, in a death eater attack.

FLASHBACK

She ran out of Dumbledore's office after she found out and went to the astronomy tower, were she started crying. Only she was not alone. She hadn't noticed Blaise Zabini, who was calmly doing his homework until a red-headed girl ran past him and crashed on the ground crying. He asked her if she was okay, but she didn't answer. He went close to her, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey Weasley…. You okay?" he asked, kind of uncomfortable. He never was too good at comforting people.

"Do I look fine to you?" she spat. "Just leave me alone…. I don't want to talk right now" she said aggressively.

"Well listen up Weasley, I'm trying to do my homework. So either you explain what's going on so I can help, you shut your mouth or you leave. Pick one" he said with a smirk. She raised her head, and looked at him. She never expected him to be like this. But then again, he was a slytherin. If he would have been a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff, he would have pitied her and told her everything was okay. And frankly, she was glad that he wasn't. She couldn't stand someone's pity right now. She just wanted someone who would understand her. Because being pitied was the last thing she wanted. She had been pitied enough in her life, by everyone, including her family. So she looked at him, and wiped her tears. She turned around to face him, and started talking.

"Yeah thanks. I needed someone to talk to anyway. Dumbledore called me in his office earlier. I wasn't worried you know. But when I entered and saw that Ron was there, crying. I lost it. I sat down, and listened to Dumbledore explain how my father was killed during a death eater attack. I never expected this. And I ran. I needed to be alone. Well now I'm not, but I guess its fine. Although it hurts, it feels good to tell everything to someone who won't pity you" she said.

"I know how you feel. Everyone thinking you're not strong enough to make it. And all they do is give you that look that makes you feel miserable. I get this look from the rest of my family every time they see me. I lost my father too you know. I was twelve. Same reason of death as your father. But they were the ones attacking. Both my parents were Death Eater. But in my case, I was never really close to my father. My parents disowned me when I chose to walk away and not follow Voldemort. So I live with my aunt in France when I'm not here at Hogwarts" he said calmly.

End of FLASHBACK

We continued talking about plenty other stuff that day, and we talked every time we saw each other in the hallways too, which made us become best friends.

So as she was sitting next to the lake, something his her shoulder. Hard. She let out a scream of pain. She turned to see what hit her, and saw a tall guy rolling on the floor laughing. Blond hair, gray eyes, annoying voice… Malfoy. Ginny was mad. She turned around.

"Damn you Malfoy! Why did you hit me?" she yelled.

"Calm down Weasel. I was just playing outside with my best friend. Blaise!" he said with a smirk.

"Excuse you? Zabini is my best friend so why don't you go and find someone else to be your friend huh? I'm sure Parkinson would be more than pleased to hang out with you!" she spat out angrily.

"Yeah? Well Zabini and I were friends way before you were! And besides, who would want you as a friend? He said

"Dude, back off! Leave her alone. And you guys are so childish! I'm best friends with both of you! So why don't you just hug and kiss and get over it? Said Blaise looking annoyed.

"Whoa there! You want me to touch that…. Thing?" asked Ginny with a disgusted face.

"You would be lucky if you got to touch me! So stop complaining you mudblood lover!" said Malfoy

"I can't! This is too much for me! Why did I sign up to be your friend? You two are terrible! And you don't even have good reasons to hate each other! Just because of who your families are isn't a reason so don't neither of you dare to give me that crap! You don't know each other so if you want me to remain friends with you, you should probably reconsider all this and stop acting like jerks to each other! And this goes for both of you! Screamed Blaise. "And I want to see a change right now or I'm going to go hang out with Saint Potter if you don't stop! So why don't you two give the other one a hug and apologize. Both of you! Now! He screamed again.

Ginny stood there, looking shocked to Blaise's outburst. But she didn't want to lose Blaise just because Malfoy felt like picking a fight with her. So she sighted, and held her hand out to Malfoy. No way was she going to hug the prat. He took it and shook it. Then Ginny looked at Blaise, and left. She couldn't believe that Blaise had made her shake hands with Malfoy! Even if he wanted them to hug, she wouldn't have done it. She made her way to Gryffindor tower, where she crashed on the couch and started reading a book. Not long after that, she heard the door open and heard Ron's voice.

"Ginny where were you? Getting drunk again huh? I searched everywhere for you! I swear if you do that again, I'm sending a letter to mom! What do you think she'll say? Ginny I swear to god if I see you around that slytherin again, I will personally come and rip his head off with my bare hands! He is influencing you! You're becoming evil! It wouldn't even surprise me if you turned your back to us and became a Death Eater!" he yelled. Harry and Hermione looked down to their feet after the last sentence. The people in the common room were now all staring at him as if he just crossed the line. Ginny felt her anger rise up in her and she exploded.

"How dare you? How could you possibly believe that I would become a Death Eater? You think that low of me? Well you should maybe get your head out of your ass and look around! Blaise is only my friend! And honestly, he is twice the man you are Ronald! You are an ignorant, selfish, annoying, stupid imbecile! And maybe you don't know this, but I go drinking with Blaise at least three times a week, so why don't you mind your own business and stop trying to control my life?" she yelled even louder. After her little speech, everyone in the common room stopped moving. They all looked terrified and nobody wanted to get on Ginerva Weasley's bad side. Ron looked shocked, but he wanted to have the last word.

"What do you mean you get drunk at least three times a week? Ginny wake up! You're becoming an alcoholic! Don't you see it? He has a terrible influence on you! And he's a slytherin! A fucking slytherin Ginerva! You can't trust them! He probably told Voldemort everything you told him!"

"Shut up! You don't know him! He's not a Death Eater! And if I want to become a fucking alcoholic, then I'll become one! Same goes for becoming a Death Eater! What if I wanted to become one? What would you do about it? Go tell mom and cry in her arms? I don't need you in my life to tell me what I can and can't do! So now you can go ahead and scream back at me all you want! I don't give a flying shit anymore! You can go to hell and never come back for all I care! And before you say anything, just know that most of the time I got drunk to be able to handle your stupidity! So get your fucking nose out of my business and leave me the fuck alone!" She said and stormed out of the common room. Everybody stood there, looking quite shocked. They've all assisted some of Ginny and Ron's fights. But this wasn't a fight. This was a battle. A war.

Ginny was cursing Ron while walking towards the lake. She couldn't believe it! He just couldn't stop couldn't he? Oh she had had enough of him trying to control and criticize everything she did constantly. So she walked to the lake where she sat down in the grass and sighed.

Blaise and Draco, still throwing that ball between them saw Ginny pass close to them looking quite pissed.

"Yo dude! Wait a minute I want to talk to Gin. I'll be right back" he said and left Draco there by himself. Blaise ran towards Ginny and sat next to her.

"So… what did he do this time?" he asked, knowing that no one could piss her off this way except for Ron.

"He is a bashful twerp who doesn't give a shit about my privacy! He said you were a bad influence and that he wouldn't be surprized if I was a Death Eater. God he can be stupid!" she said

"Same old Ron as I can see. Don't worry he's just looking for attention and he thinks that telling you this will probably mean that he is a good older brother who takes care of his little sister and that kind of stuff. Little does he know that people think he's a jerk. Well, let him live in his fantasy world where he's Superbrother and stop listening to what he says. Ignore that asshole. I know you don't want to ignore him… You're so much better than that, but can you for once let me influence you, as he says, and ignore him? It's the best choice Gin… You guys need a break. In a brotherly way. Whatever you get what I mean" he said

"Yeah I know. But he is kind of, always in my way. Same common room, same table when we eat, same everything! Everywhere I go, he follows and disapproves. Well, I will take your advice. I will try to ignore him. I just can't stand him anymore Blaise! I just can't! It's like he has no life, so he expects me to tell him all about my life or he tries to control it!" she said.

"Okay Gin! I got it! Well, now you need to forget about this, and do something else. Come play with me and Draco"

"Uhm, excuse me? You want me, to come close to that thing again? He's even worse than Ron! And I decided to ignore imbeciles! So I can't play with you if I am ignoring one of you. Make him leave then, and I'll come" she said

"Ginny…. Are you serious? Why are you so stubborn? He won't leave! But you'll come because I don't want to see you sad over here! And if I have to drag you there, I will! Because I am your best friend and I want to help you! It doesn't matter if Draco is there! Stop being like Ron, and come!" he said

"Oh all right!" she said and got up.
