The bell rang just as Ginny stepped into the classroom. She saw Colin in the back of the class and put her books on the floor next to his and slid on to a stool. Opening, her notebook on the lab table in front of her, she discovered she hadn't brought a pencil or pen.
"Have you got an extra pencil?" she whispered, leaning toward Colin.
"Miss Weasley! If you were paying attention to me instead of flirting with the boy next to you, you would have known I've been calling your name for roll!" Dr. Snape snapped at her.
She turned her attention to the man who had already given her a detention once today, not wanting another so soon.
"That will be another detention for not paying attention during class."
"When, sir?"
"Wednesday, a week after your first detention! I'm sure we'll find something for you to do."
"Yes, sir." She muttered, now fuming. That man had it out for her! His smirk told her he was enjoying punishing her for no good reasons! She would blame this all on the twins if she hadn't known that he'd also been awful to Charlie, her second oldest brother who had just been finishing school when Snape started to teach.
"Now that we know Miss Weasley is here. I can explain more about the curriculum in this class."
Dr. Snape had them taking notes the whole time while he lectured them on the various expectations that he had for them this year. By the time the bell rang Ginny had used three sheet of paper. One for the notes she'd taken while paying attention and other two were full of little stick people doing various things such as, but not limited to, killing Dr. Snape. Heading out of the classroom, she told Colin she'd see him latter and walked off to her locker. She needed to grab a pencil or two before her next class unless she wanted a repeat of Snape's class. Looking at her schedule, she saw that English was her next class. As she was looking down and not paying attention to where she was going the inevitable happened and someone knocked her over for the second time that day.
"If you're the same guy as before I swear I'll scream." She threatened as she stood up. Luckily for the ears of everyone around her it was not the dark-haired boy from before but the pale blonde boy that he'd been sitting next to earlier.
"I'm sure Blaise will love to here that the thought of him makes you want to scream" The blonde boy told her.
"Tell him it also makes me want to puke while you're at it." Ginny said, realization dawning on her face. "Wait did you say his name was Blaise?"
"I believe that's what I said, Weasley, or is your family too poor to buy q-tips for you to clean your ears out with?" He sneered down at her and all Ginny could do was wonder what it was with guys knocking her over and then insulting her without at least introducing themselves.
"No, my ears are just fine. Not that it's any of your business." Ginny was hopping he'd leave her alone as she need to get to her lock and to class in another two minute or she'd risk another detention on the first day. "If you'd excuse me I have to get to my locker."
But as she started to move past him he grabbed her arm and spun her around so her face was right in his chest. Apparently he was not finished with her yet
"Aren't you interested in who I am? Or who Blaise is?" He asked his cold grey eyes staring hard into her bright brown ones.
"No. I don't care anything about you." She shot back, trying to wrench her arm out of his grasp.
"But I know who you are. And I know you're the one who likes to run into her betters and then be rude about it. I also know you have English next." He held up his hand and in it was Ginny's schedule . "English happens to be down that hall. You better hurry or you'll be late."
He let her arm go and softly pushed her away. Ginny just rushed pasted him mumbling "Good riddance." under her breath. She could only hope she'd make it to English on time, but then she rethought hoping, as it seemed her hopes were getting crushed lately. Two runs in with obnoxious prats and two detentions all in one day was a little much for the first day of school.
