Chapter 2
Chirping of birds, sound of rushing water and the first ray of sunlight announced the new day at camp and our favorite witches and wizards. After a good breakfast everyone assembled for the first competition.
"The first competition accounts for 30 points and it will test you bravery and trust on your partner. Your first task is a treasure hunt, each clue will bring you closer to your final destination. The first pair to reach the destination will earn their group 30 points, the second will earn 20 and the last and third group will receive 10. 2 pairs from each group will participate in this competition" said Professor McGonagall
" So from group 1, Mr. Thomas with Ms. Brown and Mr. Longbottom with Ms. Abbott will be the pairs from group 1, followed by Mr. Potter with Ms. Weasley and Mr. Zabini with Ms. Lovegood from group 2 and finally from group 3 Mr. Finnigan and Mr. Nott along with their partners."
"The race will begin from this point in half an hour, till then you may all go and prepare yourselves."
Everyone rushed back to their tents to pack and prepare for the competition, excitedly discussing the clues and the adventures they were to face. Ginny Weasley was looking around for Harry when suddenly a hand grabbed her and pulled her into a tent.
"What do you thin….." but she was cut off as a pair of lips came crashing on hers, pulling her into a searing kiss. When the pair broke apart for air, she looked up and smiled. Her eyes met his and she pulled him into a bone crushing hug.
"I love you Ginny, I have missed you so much. Did you speak to him yet?"
"I love you too Blaise, no I have been trying to talk to Harry ever since the beginning of the year, but I just can't bring myself to hurt him, after everything he's been through"
"But what if he finds out about us from someone else that will hurt him more than if you told him about us."
"I'm worried Blaise, this will hurt Harry far too much and after everything that has happened it'll hit him too hard. Also what if he tells Ron, my family will not approve of us being together. I just got what's remaining of my family back and I don't want to lose them again and neither can I live without you. Hiding my feelings for you is hard for me, it really is but right now we have to be patient and wait for the right time to tell everyone. "
"I understand Gin, I just want you to know that I'm here for you no matter what. By the way do you remember what today is? Today is the day we became friends."
"How could I ever forget that day, it was the beginning of the relationship neither of us had seen coming.
Flashback
"Welcome to the future, today you begin your first divination lesson and today's lesson will be in pairs. The pairs have been decided on the basis of the foreseen future and the crystal ball. So please find your pairs as mentioned on the list and sit down."
Ginny Weasley moved up to check the list and saw her name across the name of Blaise Zabini. Finding her way to where Blaise was seated, Ginny put her things down and took the seat across his. She pulled out her quill and a piece of parchment when her gaze landed on something.
"You're a fan of the Holyhead Harpies?" She asked surprised
"Yes I am. Although it may seem funny for a boy to be a fan of an all-girls quidditch team, but I think there's nothing wrong with it."
"No I think it's amazing that you support them, not many men have the courage to admit the fact that they like an all-girls team, it seems to get in the way of their male ego."
"I'm different Ms. Ginny Weasley."
"If someone had told me that what you had said then would make such an impact on my life I would have hit them with my best Bat-Bogey hex. Who knew then that one day I would be head over heels for you Mr. Zabini?"
"Yes I remember your specialty with the Bat Bogey Hex, after all it was a hex which made me realize my true feelings for you."
"The game is 100-20 with Gryffindor leading by 8 goals, and the quaffle is with chaser Weaslette, oops Ginny Weasley," shouted Pansy into her mike while filing her nails
Ever since Snape had become headmaster, Quidditch had become more like a battle of hexes than the original sport.
"This Weasley girl is creating a nuisance, she's scored 9 of those 10 goals we need to do something about her if we have to win the cup." Said Draco as the captain of Slytherin.
"I suggest we rid her broom of her" suggested Herth
Meanwhile Ginny had scored another goal and the score had reached 110-20, unaware of what was happening around her. Seeing Ginny distracted Crabbe and Goyle chose to strike the plan into action. Pointing their wand at her Crabbe yelled Impedimenta while Goyle yelled Stupefy.
Caught by surprise Ginny deflected the Impediment curse but was hit in the chest by the stunning curse and before she knew it, she was hurling towards the ground. Prepared for a crash landing, she was startled when a pair of arms caught her.
"Ginny are you okay?" was all she heard before she passed out.
"It was that moment when I caught you in my arms Gin, you looked so weak and so fragile. My heart stopped beating for a moment at the thought of losing you. It was this moment, I realized that my feelings for you were more than friendship" said Blaise
"I remember that match, I wanted to hex those two and Pansy into oblivion. But I guess I do owe her for one thing, making me realize my feelings for you." replied Ginny.
"Hey Weaselette, mind moving that big head of yours it's blocking my view"
"I don't see how my head is disturbing you Pansy, after all you won't understand a word Professor McGonagall is saying anyways seeing as your brain hasn't reached this stage of development yet." Replied a feisty Ginny earning a chuckle from Blaise.
As the class ended, the students moved towards the Great Hall for lunch, Ginny stayed back to finish off some pending work, as she was leaving the classroom, she heard noises from a room and moved ahead to investigate it's source.
As she entered the classroom her eyes fell on two figures who were locked in a furious kiss. As she took a step forward, tears began to streak down her face. Turning around she fled from there where stood Blaise and Pansy wrapped with each other.
"I was shattered when I saw you both, I was hurt and jealous. There was this strong voice inside me telling me to jinx Pansy. Initially this confused me, I dint know why it was affecting me so much after all you were just my friend then why couldn't I see you with anyone else, it was then that it hit me that you were more to me than just a friend." Said Ginny
"In my defense, Pansy had cornered me that day. I came this close to being molested. But now I'm thinking it was worth it. It brought you to me." Explained Blaise
"And finally at the Halloween dance you mustered up enough courage to ask me out. Remember that dance, how you snuck me out of the dance and proposed at the top of the astronomy tower, under the moonlight. That was the most beautiful moment of my life, everything was perfect and most importantly we were together." Said Ginny, with a radiant smile.
"You looked stunningly gorgeous that night in that blue gown you wore, it was getting hard for me not to jinx all the boys eyeing you."
Pulling Ginny into a bone crushing hug, he gazed into her eyes and gently yet passionately kissed her as if to convey to her what importance she held in his life and heart.
"Blaise?...Ginny" came a voice from the shadows bringing the oblivious couple to reality. Turning around to face the source of the voice, both the teenagers froze in their tracks.
So there you go…. Hope you all enjoyed that chapter.
Yes I'm leaving you off on a cliff hanger but I guess it's worth it.
As always keep guessing who it was….. and my next chapter will take a while but I'll try updating before I fly off on my vacation on the 18th June.
