The next day, Ginny was on her way to the Great Hall when she was stopped by Chevalier and Malfoy. "I heard about what you did in that lesson Weasley, let's see how brave you are on your own" said Chevalier as he took out his wand.
She quickly took hers out "two against one, cant face me on your own?" she asked as she narrowed her eyes. Honestly, she was panicking slightly, there was no one around because everyone was in the Great Hall.
"This is a bit unfair isn't it?" said a voice that sounded like Neville, they all looked up to see Seamus and Neville smiling at her.
"Now I think you two should leave before a Professor shows up" Seamus said. Malfoy and Chevalier glared at them before they walked off to the Great Hall.
Ginny turned to face them and beamed "thanks, trust those cowards to wait until no one was around" she said.
They both shrugged "what are friends for right" Neville said as they continued to walk to the Great Hall.
"So who was that with Malfoy anyway?" Seamus asked, he had a blue uniform so he was obviously from her school.
"That was Edmon Chevalier, he is a rotten git, he is all about pure bloods being the best and muggleborns being filth, me and my friend Nouel think he should just go to Durmstrang" she said. She rolled her eyes slightly as she thought about him, Nouel has had a feud with him ever since the beginning of their first year at Beauxbatons.
"Sounds like a real stuck up pure blood" said Seamus as they entered the Great Hall.
"I suppose you are going to join the Ravenclaw table now, see you later Ginny" Neville said sounding kind of disappointed, she looked towards the table where her friends were waiting for her and got an idea.
"Actually, I will sit on the Gryffindor table too if that's ok" she said holding back a giggle when he suddenly brightened.
"That would be great" he said turning red slightly at how fast he answered.
"Ok I just need to tell my friends, save me a seat ye?" she said and they both nodded before they left towards the Gryffindor table. She smiled to herself as she walked over to the Ravenclaw table, there is no rule saying they had to eat there. She reached her friends but didn't sit down. "I am going to eat over at the Gryffindor table with a few people, talk to you after breakfast?" she asked, glad that they didn't look hurt.
"Sure, don't let us stop you but wait outside for us" said Janette, she nodded as she walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down by Neville and Seamus. While they began to talk, no one noticed Dumbledore watching them. His eyes twinkled as he watched the only Beauxbatons student to move from the Ravenclaw table and away from the rest of their class mates. He had been watching her for a while and realised that she had been helping out in Herbology and has gotten quite close to Mr Longbottom.
"Hey Ginny, how come you are on this table?" Harry asked as he and Hermione sat down opposite her.
"There is no rule that I have to stay on the Ravenclaw table just because they do" she said as she smiled up at him.
"That's right, what's the point of international experience when you don't join the other students" Hermione said, Ginny agreed with her as she poured some pumpkin juice.
"Herbology is third lesson today, I suppose we will be seeing you there?" Harry asked dramatically.
She nodded "yes and if you act like that then I wont talk to you at all during it" she said sticking her tongue out at him. He just grinned as he grabbed a piece of toast, she was shocked at her actions, she had never done something like that.
"We have finished with the Buboubers so I wonder what we will be looking at now" said Neville.
Seamus grimaced "hopefully something that wasn't as disgusting" he said which Harry and Hermione nodded to.
After breakfast, Ginny waited just outside the castle for her friends, Neville, Seamus, Harry and Hermione had already gone to their first lesson. She looked up when she heard Sarah and saw them walking over to her. "Were you talking to the Hogwarts cheaters?" asked Gabrielle.
She shrugged "they aren't that bad, I actually think that they didn't put their names in" Ginny said as they walked along the grass.
"You realise that Fleur is going to call you a traitor" Nouel joked even though it may be true.
"If she does then oh well, I hardly talk to her and she will get over it, well, eventually" she said. hey were walking along the side of the lake when they were stopped by Professor Dumbledore.
"May I have a word with you Miss Weasley?" he asked as he walked up to them.
"Erm ok, I will see you guys later" she said before she followed the Headmaster towards the school.
"I hear from Professor Sprout that you have taken a liking to her class, is that true Miss Weasley?" he asked as he continued to look forward.
"Yes Professor, I'm sorry if I shouldn't have joined in the class, it just seemed like a fun subject and Beauxbatons doesn't have it" she said.
"It is ok, there is no reason to apologise, I was merely wondering if you would like to try some of the other lessons why you are here" he said. "I know that Beauxbatons start their own lessons in a few days and I have spoken to Madame Maxime and I am offering you the chance to take Hogwarts subjects instead, for international experience which is the reason you are here" he said. She smiled brightly, that sounded great.
"Yes Professor, I would like to go to the other lessons" she said happily, not noticing the slight smile on his face.
"Very well, there are different time tables and after what I saw this morning I can tell that you have taken quite a liking to the Gryffindors, particularly Mr Longbottom, Mr Potter and Miss Granger, so I have organised your time table to be in their lessons" he said.
"Thank you Professor" she said, this was going to be great, he stopped walking and gave her a small time table.
"Second lesson starts in twenty minutes, good luck Miss Weasley" he said before he left her.
She looked down at the card, second lesson was charms. She walked back to her friends and showed them the card.
"No way, that sounds great" said Janette as she looked it over. Nouel looked over her shoulder and Ginny saw that he was going slightly red.
"The second lesson starts in seventeen minutes so I will have to see you all during lunch" she said as she took it back.
"Ok but no ditching us and you have to tell us how the lessons go" Sarah said as they began to walk towards the castle.
When it was time for the lesson, she waited outside and smiled up at Harry, Hermione and Neville. "Professor Dumbledore wanted to talk to me and he let me take Hogwarts lessons instead of Beauxbatons ones" she said showing them her time table.
They looked up when they heard a squeal "you are taking Hogwarts lessons, can we se your time table, you need to sit with us" said Lavender, Harry was shacking with silent laughter behind her.
"Ok everyone, come in" squeaked Professor Flitwick as he opened the door to the classroom. "Ah Miss Weasley, Professor Dumbledore told me that you might be joining us" he said when he saw her. They took their seats, Lavander and Pavati sitting next to Ginny who was sit next to Neville.
During the lesson they practised Summoning Charms, Lavander and Pavati asked her questions about France and the boys which she didn't mind answering. During third lesson, Ginny and Neville sat together as they tied to repot bouncing bulbs.
"No wonder these things are called bouncing bulbs, they wont keep still" Ginny said as she tried to trap one on the desk but it bounced to the other side.
"I've got it" Neville said as he quickly closed off it's escape and picked it up, it wiggled furiously in his hand but he managed to put it in the soil and put the soil over it and smoothed it.
"Those things are weird" she said as she watched what he was doing. He shrugged and grabbed another one, she laughed when it jumped out of his hand and bounced up his right arm and down his left.
"Oh great, we got a performer" he said grinning as he tried to catch it but it managed to get away. She quickly closed her hand around it before it could jump off the table while she tried to stop laughing. Neville pushed one of the pots towards her and she quickly put in it and smoothed the soil over like he did.
The rest of the lesson was spent trying to pot the bulbs, several times, random ones would jump from the desks and were chassed around the greenhouse which everyone thought was funny.
Fourth lesson was Care of Magical Creatures, they were already in a project, raising Blast-Ended Skrewts which looked dangerous. There were none left so Ginny joined with Neville. "Aren't these things dangerous?" she asked as she observed it.
Neville shrugged "I think they are but Hagrid always likes dangerous animals" he said as he quickly pulled his hand back when the creature tried to sting him. After the lesson, Lavender had a burnt hand, Dean had gotten stung on his arm and Ron had been bitten. It was safe to say, everyone was happy when the lesson was over.
"Hey Ginny" greeted Nouel as she joined them at the Ravenclaw table for lunch.
"Hey, you wont believe what the fourth years have to look after in Care of Magical Creatures" she said as she piled some food onto her plate. She saw their expressions and told them "Blast-Ended Skrewts, a cross between Manticores and Fire Crabs" she said nodding at their shocked expressions.
"How was your other lessons?" Janette asked once they got over the shock of the creatures.
"Charms was ok, I couldn't get a hang of the Summoning Charm though, Lavander Brown and Pavati Patil seem to have a thing for you though Nouel" she said teasingly. He looked over to the Gryffindor table and saw the two girls giggling and wave at him. He missed the glare that they were receiving from Janette. "Herbology was funny, we had to repot bouncing bulbs and they were going everywhere" she said ginning at them memory of everyone chasing their bulbs.
"What have you got fifth and sixth?" Sarah asked as she watched Nouel and Janette.
"Transfiguration and Potions" she said before she began to eat, she wondered why people thought Potions was so bad, she guessed she would find out soon enough.
When lunch was over, she went up to Transfiguration and sat with Neville and Ron.
During sixth lesson, she soon realised what everyone hated, it was Professor Snape. He was so mean and horrid. She noticed that he made Neville very nervous and he almost ruined the Potion they were working on. Half way through, a third year came in asking for Harry and Hermione for a photo shoot and about the tournament. When they had left, Professor Snape seemed even more bad tempered.
When all of the lessons were over, she decided that she didn't mind it, of course there was Potions but no one was ever lucky enough to have all nice lessons. During Dinner, she sat at the Gryffindor table again but this time managed to get Nouel, Janette and Sarah to join her. She realised that Harry and Hermione were late as they came back from where they had to go. As they told them about what happened, the one thing they knew was that Reeta Skeeter was a slimy rat.
