Gin awoke the next morning feeling more refreshed and rested than any other night she had a nightmare. She smiled as she remembered why. "He really does care." She thought as she headed to her en suite bathroom and got ready for the day.

"You are going to need to change to go out." Draco said knowingly as they ate breakfast.

"Do I not look okay in this?" Gin asked upset.

Draco rolled his eyes and continued. "That, is not okay to fly in."

Gin's eyebrows furrowed as she thought if there was anything acceptable to fly in her closet.

"I have some old clothes you can wear." He laughed. "A true Malfoy already." Narcissa and Lucius beamed in pride.

"Thank you." Gin said indifferently and continued her eggs while he laughed at her expression. She shot him a grin in between bites.

They changed and headed out to the yard. It was more than a yard, several quidditch pitchs combined would be more than ample to describe the clearing behind Narcissa's expansive garden. Their parents followed them out to watch bringing their new brooms.

"A firebolt 1000?" Gin exclaimed.

"Just came out last week." Draco said eying the broom with lust in his eyes. Gin's matched them as they continued to stare at them until Lucius handed them over.

They flew for hours until they were called to clean up for lunch. Gin and Draco had rosy cheeks and severely windblown hair.

The family relaxed for the rest of the day, and let Gin become accustomed to her new home. Before they knew it, they were eating breakfast before Gin and Draco headed back to school for classes. Gin apparated for herself the first time since she received her license before school started.

"Ready?" Draco asked as he stuck his left hand out for her.

Gin squared her shoulders, brought her face up, and took his hand. "Let's do this." Gin said as they headed up to steep slope of Hogwart's front lawn. They silently went to their dorm's, picked up their bags, and made their way to Transfiguration.

Transfiguration past in a blur for Gin and Draco. The Ravenclaws constantly were peaking or glaring at Gin. Halfway through the class she shot one boy in particular a smirk and turned back to McGonagall who looked at her confused. Gin merely smiled innocently at her professor. The innocent face on a Malfoy made Professor McGonagall stutter and lose her train of thought.

Draco was anticipating Defense Against the Dark Arts more than anything, but he didn't tell Gin. He didn't want her to be mad at him when they were about to face her brother, Ron, and the boy-who-won't die, Harry. Draco was telling Gin a joke to get her to crack a laugh while they past them on their way to class. Ron's face was bright red, while Harry stared openly with his mouth opened in shock. Draco and Gin took his usual table, and before Zambini and Millificent could take the desk behind them, Harry and Ron jumped into them.

Ron leaned forward and rested his face in his hands and muttered until Professor Mildane came in. "You are so going to regret this. And I'll make sure the family doesn't take you back when you come crawling." Ron muttered.

Draco remained indifferent, as did Gin. Ron didn't like them ignoring him and stood up. "Are you listening to me?" He yelled as Professor Mildane walked in.

"Mr. Weasley, is there a problem?" He asked casually.

"Yes there is!" Ron started as he rambled on and on what was wrong with Gin. Draco's fist became to clench in fury. While Professor Mildane tried to calm Ron down with words he turned towards Draco.

"And you think that a Death Eater could take better care of you than us, SO FUCKING BE IT!" Ron continued.

Draco stood in a cold stony fury. "What did you say about my family?" He said calmly glaring at Ron through narrowed eyes.

"I said that she is a selfish, and inconsiderate brat. I then said that she is the true blood traitor, and that a bunch of Death Eaters could not take care of her like we did." Ron said as he glared back at Malfoy as his face continued to get redder and redder.

"That is real rich coming from the family who NEGLECTED her." Draco chuckled darkly as he saw Professor Mildane pleading with both of them to calm down. "Now, you are causing us to miss our lesson Weasel. I suggest you stay far away from my family, all of it, or you will answer to me." Draco sneered as he turned around to sit down. He heard Ron pull his wand, and turned back around as he had his out.

"RONALD WEASLEY! THAT'S ENOUGH!" Professor Mildane hollered as she pulled his own out. She flicked her wand once and Ron was bound. "Read chapter four and five. Ten feet due at the beginning of next class. Class dismissed." Professor Mildane said angrily as she stood there shaking slightly. "Not you four." She said as she indicated at Draco, Gin, Harry, and the still bound Ron. "Follow me."

Professor Flitwick lead the three able to walk up to Dumbledore's office as she levitated Ron behind them.

"Acid Pops." She said as she approached the stone gargoyle. Once it sprang to life, she indicated for the other students to go first. Gin, being in the front, knocked lightly on the door.

"Enter." They heard the Headmaster say in resignation. No doubt he expected this, for he cleared his morning appointments.

Gin made her way to the other side of the room with Draco and sat on the same couch near the fire that Narcissa and Lucius sat on the other day. Harry sat in front of the Headmaster while Professor Mildane kept Ron and herself near the door.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked the professor.

Professor Mildane walked over to Dumbledore's desk where the pensive sat on his desk. He raised his hand to his forehead and brought out a silvery vapor and placed it in the basin. Dumbledore watched it play in his pensive and came back out sighing. He leaned back in his seat and twirled his beard with his wand for a moment thinking.

The Headmaster turned towards Ron, and undid his spell. "Are you going to remain calm?"

"Yes." He said through clenched teeth.

"Good. Professor, you may leave. Mr. Potter, and Mr. Weasley, please step outside until I call you back in." Dumbledore said darkly. Once they were outside, he turned towards the Malfoy kids. "Mr. Malfoy. I saw that you didn't start anything, but were attempting to protect your sister. Unfortunately, I fear this is a trend, and not on your part. Miss Malfoy, did either of you say anything to him since the change of families?" He asked as he stared at intently.

Gin furrowed her brows. "No, in fact as we were walking into class was the first time I saw him since."

"Very well. I am going to have him go home for the week to calm down and accept it. If he contacts you in any manner, I want to know, immediately." Professor Dumbledore said gravely.

"Yes sir." Gin answered honestly.

"Mr Malfoy, please keep a close eye on Miss Malfoy. Miss Malfoy, please see me after the afternoon classes tomorrow. That is all, you may leave." Professor Dumbledore said rising. He saw them out, and ushered Ron and Harry in. He watched as Draco and Gin stayed indifferent and kept walking, as Harry and Ron glared daggers at them, but holding their tongues.

"Let's go get that assignment started before we have to go to dinner." Gin said as she led Draco to the library as if nothing happened. Draco stared at her astounded, but followed her wordlessly.

"And I thought all Weasley's had a temper. She didn't even flinch, or change expressions." Draco thought proudly. "But she's not a Weasley anymore." Draco smiled outwardly.

"What are you smiling about?" Gin asked innocently smiling as he opened the door for her.

"Nothing my beloved sister." He smirked as he kissed her cheek and past her.

"I never thought I would actually say that I'm glad I have a brother." She said as she caught up with him. "But then I couldn't even say it because it might make his already inflated ego grow." She teased him as she went to an open table and pulled out her book.

They managed to read the chapters and get eight feet done before they noticed all the students rising to leave. As they were leaving, the came across Zambini and Millificent. Millificent gave him a small smile as she walked out in front of them. Zambini shot an 'are you okay?' look at Gin who nodded once in response.

"How much did you guys get done?" Millificent asked Draco and Gin when they sat down at the table.

"I got an inch or two short of eight feet." Gin shrugged.

"I got a couple inches past eight feet." Draco answered.

"Bloody hell! I only got three feet!" Millificent exclaimed.

"What about you Zambini?" Gin asked.

"Five." He answered solemnly as he turned to his food. She shot him a quizzical look and he mouthed "later."

"You have an audience." Millificent said quietly.

"Who?" Draco asked.

"Harry." Millificent answered.

"And Hermoine." Zambini added.

"They are debating about coming over here." Draco said lowly after he looked at both of them.

"Will they?" Zambini inquired.

"No, they will wait until after dinner to see if they can talk to her." Draco said seriously.

"What should I do?" Gin asked nonchalantly.

"What could it hurt?" Millificent asked. "Maybe they can talk to you, and then try to calm Ron down and make him realize he's been overreacting."

"I highly doubt that." Zambini retorted dryly.

"Are you done Draco?" Gin said as she put down her fork.

"Yes. Ready?" He asked as he wiped his mouth with his napkin and placed it on his plate.

"Room of requirement?" She questioned. He nodded slightly. Gin caught Hermoine's and Harry's attention and motioned her head at the door. They rose and walked out. They did not turn around to see if Harry or Hermoine were coming, but made their way to the room of requirement.

"What did you think?" Draco asked as he walked in to a duplicated version of his father's sitting room.

"Home." She said smiling.

"Your favorite room is a sitting room?" He snorted.

"Yes." She answered as Harry and Hermoine entered cautiously. Draco and Gin made their way to one of the sofas near the fireplace. Harry and Hermoine sat across from them where they sat while Narcissa read to them.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Gin asked in her usual innocent tone.

"What are you doing?" Harry said as he stood and began pacing around in front of the fire.

"I didn't even say anything! You were there! He was antagonizing me, as usual, and he blew up when I didn't yell back." Gin said getting agitated.

"Please Ginny, make us understand." Hermoine pleaded as she ground her teeth nervously.

"Think, where was I every time you were over? How many people ever came to look for me? How many times did any one ever talk to me at the dinner table? Do not count when they only wanted me to do something for them." Gin answered staring Hermoine in her eyes. If she couldn't put them together, then no one could.

After a minute or so of Hermoine and Harry in thought, Harry spoke first. "I am so sorry Ginny. I didn't mean to ignore you." He said as a tear slid down his cheek.

"It's the past Potter, Ginevra has moved on." Draco said as he crossed his arms.

"Ginny, please. You can still fix this." Hermoine pleaded.

"How many times have I asked you all to stop calling me Ginny." Gin said lowly. "My name is Ginevra."

"Ginevra, please come back. Ron is devastated over this." Hermoine said.

"So, this is about my brother, and not me in my happiness. No, don't. You've said more than enough Hermoine." Gin said as she stood. Draco and Gin made their way to past them.

"Please Gin. I've always loved you." Harry said out of the blue.

"Actions have always spoke louder than words. Your actions give what you just said no validity." Gin said shaking her head sadly, and left the room arm and arm with her brother.

"I'm sorry. I will make it up to you." Harry said firmly not knowing if she heard.

"Harry, give it up. It's a lost cause." Hermoine said before the door shut behind them.

"It will never be a lost cause until I die." Harry told her before he took out of the room to his Head Boy dorm alone.

Gin did not move a single facial feature except to blink until she reached the dungeons.

"Go ahead Draco. I need to speak to Professor Snape." She said to him as they saw the light in his office on.

"Alright." He said as he waited for the professor to answer the door until he continued his way to the common room.

They stared at each other for a few moments. "Come in Ginevra." He said once Draco was out of hearing range.

"Thank you sir." Gin said as she followed him to his sitting area.

"How are you fairing?" He asked as he prepared some tea.

"I was so happy until we came back. But that's not why I'm here." She said boldly.

"Then why are you here Miss Malfoy?" He sneered.

"I wanted to thank you." Gin said simply. His face turned from frustrated to warm in a matter of seconds.

"You are welcome." The professor said as he sat down across from her.

"A question has been bugging me for a while now." Gin admitted sheepishly.

"A question I'm sure I can not answer." He answered.

"I know, but I want you to know that I worry about you." She told him.

"That, I already knew from right before your fourth year." He smiled.

"Why is Tonks here?" Gin continued.

"Tonks?" He asked incredulously.

"Yeah, or should I call her Professor Mildane." Gin continued thinking. "You didn't know?"

"No. How did you figure it out?" He asked interested peaked and contemplating something Gin couldn't even guess.

"When Ron started yelling in class, Professor Mildane yelled 'RONALD WEASLEY!' I know the way she says Ronald. It's more Ron-al-d, than anything else." Gin said obviously.

"What else do you know?" He asked quietly.

"Dumbledore knows." Gin answered knowingly.

"But didn't tell me." He muttered to himself than to Gin.

"Anything else?" He continued.

"Professor McGonagall tried to Legimency on me in class. When she couldn't get in, I smiled innocently at her." Gin chuckled.

"Teachers are technically allowed, but only a handful of students will actually noticed a truly experience legimens." Professor Snape told her.

"Too true. I guess she never thought I would be one of them." Gin smiled.

"What happened when she couldn't get in?" Professor Snape smiled back at her kindly.

"She stuttered. I-I-I-I was saying..." Gin openly laughed. The professor joined her as well.

"That must have been a sight. I think I would of paid to see that!" Professor Snape continued laughing. "Uptight Minevra stuttering. Ahhh."

When they were done with tea, Professor Snape accompanied Gin back to the common room.

"Thank you sir." She said before she slipped in through what once was a stone wall.

"Good night Miss Malfoy." He grinned before he turned and left.
