Chapter Tweleve
Surprises
Ginny's POV
I sighed and stretched the kinks from my back. Snape looked at me and smiled.
"Done already, Miss Weasley?"
I grinned back. He was a decent sort. He didn't hate everyone, not even Mione. Especially not her, I thought with a mental smirk. They were stubborn. But I was determined.
I leaned back on the table. "Yeah, anything else you want me to do?"
"Just make a Vertisium potion and leave it on the desk. Directions are on page 50. I have to see McGonnagall about something. Miss Zabini will supervise you." He paused at the door. "Not that you need it."
Then I was left alone with the violet eyed Slytherin. I flipped open my book and started on the project. It was easy for me but involved a half an hour of sitting and doing nothing near the end. As I set the timer on my magical watch, Blaise walked over and sat by me.
I'd never really looked at her before, but she really was rather pretty. her hair was, to use the French word, sangoire, the color of blood on a moonless night. Her eyes, bright as diamonds, were a purple deeper than most amythists. Her features were Angelic if slightly Italian, with her almond shaped eyes and olive complexion. Her lips were about three shades darker than her cheeks. Russet, I thought and very kissable.
"Snape must have a very high oppinion of you." She observed.
"One could say the same about you." I retorted.
"True. It's not often he lets a Gryffindor make a potion any more complecated than a simple Pepper Up Potion with out hovering protectively the whole time."
She moved closer. "Except Granger, but I think we both know why that is." She smirked.
"I have full marks in potions." I whispered. She was very close. She smiled and leaned in.
"Stop." I said, the instant before her lips weould reach mine.
"Why?" She mumured, her voice soft and low.
"Because I don't love you."
She pulled back to look at me. "Then who do you love. "
I felt tears prick my eyes and looked away. She took me gently in her arms. I leaned against her, crying my heart out for a love I'd never known as my potion bubbled merrily. After about twenty minutes or so, I finally calmed down a good deal and she brought me a cup of tea. I nodded thanks and drank the tea. It was pepperment and very good.
When I set the cup down, Blaise pulled up a chair and sat across from me.
"Now then, who do you like?"
"Draco Malfoy." I answered. I hadn't meant to say that. My eyes flashed to the Vertisium potion. Blaise laughed, a wonderful muscial thing and waved her wand, binding me to the chair.
"Yes, your potion. Now, I have some more questions. What's your favorite movie?"
"The Princess Bride."
"Do you like me?"
"Despite this, yes."
She laughed. "Why didn't you kiss me?"
"My brother likes you."
She seemed very pleased with this.
(A/N: Once again, I know Blaise is a boy in the books, but I like my female Blaise so there ;P
