Ginny suffers through so much in her sixth year, and who's there to help her pick herself up? No one… for now.
Chapter 10: Are You Ready?
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
"Shut that damn kid up!" Bellatrix Lestrange yelled, covering her ears, "Or I'll kill him!"
Crystal Michaels rocked her two year old son in her arms, trying to quiet his scared cries, "James, its okay sweetie, its okay. Gege will have us out soon."
"Me want Gege!" He screamed for his eldest sister.
"Landon, take your brother for a minute?" Crystal asked her eldest son.
The ten year old grabbed his baby brother and bounced him on his knee.
"Mom? Are you ok?" Christina, thirteen, asked her, weary mother.
"Fine dear. Just hoping Angelina won't try something stupid."
"Saving us is stupid?" Christina asked, "Pfft, whats stupid is you and dad getting a divorce."
"Christina." She warned her youngest daughter.
"She's right." Jason Michaels said from the shadows, "It is stupid us getting a divorce. I've never once cheated on you Cryssie (Said Chrissie). Never in eighteen years marriage."
"Landon, why don't you let me try? Six boys has given me experience. He just misses his sister." Molly Weasley offered her hands towards the scared two year old. The tired Landon handed him over immediately. Molly smoothed his dirty blonde hair out and wiped off his green eyes, "Now, now child. Your Gege will be with you soon." She said, bouncing him and rubbing his back in a soothing manner. He cried a bit more and sucked his thumb before falling asleep.
"Mum, you seem too calm for this situation." Bill Weasley said.
"We'll be fine Bill. We'll be
fine."
"Weasley's are tough skinned! 'Member Bill?" Fred asked with a smirk on his face.
"Thanks to you two." Bill said accusingly towards the twins, "All your pranks, we're lucky to be alive."
"Ya won't be for long!" Bellatrix shouted through the bars with an evil chuckle and sick smile.

"Put your back into it!"
"Like this?"
"Harder! C'mon Gin! Harder! Faster!"
"I'm going as hard and as fast as I can dammit!"
"Well it's not good enough! Here! Let me show you!"
"Oooh. I get it now! Like this!"
"That's prefect Gin! Now, just a bit faster. Faster. Faster. Harder! Perfect! Ok, stop… Gin, stop. Gin! Ginny! Stop it Ginny!"
"But I'm finally getting the hang of it!"
"Gin! Stop!" Draco shouted, putting his arms around Ginny's and halting her assault on the punching bag.
Ginny pouted and lowered her gloved hands, "You finally start to teach me this stuff and you tell me three minutes into the lesson to stop!"
"We've got to work into it."
Ginny rolled her eyes, "You were the one pushing me to go harder and faster."
"Yeah, but I invited someone else to this." Draco whispered as the door opened.
"Angelina!?" Ginny asked, "But you know basic defense."
"Draco's works go farther than I have. We have less than two months till this plan happens." Angelina told her, swinging her arms forward then behind, stretching her neck and back.
"Alright, lets open this." Ginny smiled and clapped her hands. Frowning when she remembered they were gloved.

"T-minus six weeks." Ginny said with a sigh, "Maybe we should've done this earlier."
"No. Wait till after Valentines Day, and stuff, and wait till we planned for this to happen. March 27th, We'll do this." Angelina said firmly.
"Your plan is great, Angelina. But… what happens if Draco's captured, and that dream comes true?"
"It won't. And if it does, we'll just have to cope babe. It'll be better to lose one, than to lose ten."
"I hope we haven't already lost 'em." Ginny whispered.
"Lost who?" Harry came up behind them, holding Hermione's hand.
"Uhm…" Ginny said nervously. Everyone had agreed, being bad liars except for Angelina, Draco, and Blaise, that they'd stay far away from Harry and Hermione.
"Ron." Angelina lied quickly, "We were gonna go gang up on Snape for taking away those fifty points yesterday because Colin sneezed. If that didn't work, we were gonna go see McGonagall and have her force him to revoke it and give them back plus twenty five points for being unjust and favorite towards Slytherins. But we think Ron might've chickened out."
"Oh. Good luck with that. If you need us, we'll be in the Astronomy Tower."
Ginny watched them leave, "That was a great
lie!"
"Thanks. Quick on my feet. Comes with getting caught sneaking out of the house or being late for my curfew at home."
Ginny laughed and sighed, "C'mon. Lets go visit the boys. Draco's probably annoying Blaise as we speak."

"Madame Pomfrey!" Blaise shouted, "Madame Pomfrey!"
"What? What is it dear?" Madame Pomfrey came running out.
"I'm bored!" Blaise whined.
"Oh, boy! Only call me if its an emergency!" She chided.
"But!"
Madame Pomfrey waddled off to help a fourth year Hufflepuff that now looked like a cave man, complete with grunt-talk.
Angelina walked in and shrieked when the cave-boy started sniffing her, "Back off cave-dude."
"Oi!" Blaise shouted, standing up with help of crutches (because he's still weak), "She mine, back off." He growled at the fourth year, scaring him away.
"I'm yours?" Angelina asked, crossing her arms over her chest and raising an eyebrow, "I don't belong to anyone, thank you very much!"
Blaise smiled slightly and sat back down on his bed, "Pomfrey says that once Snape finishes that potion tonight, by tomorrow, I'll be better than ever."
"Well that's awesome news. Once you're out tomorrow we can talk about some stuff." Angelina hinted, as Pomfrey walked by.
"Ok. Meet me in my room tomorrow." Blaise said, "I get out around noon, so after lunch."
Angelina nodded and touched Blaise's cheek. She bent forward and chastely kissed his lips, "Bye."
He kissed her once more and let her leave.

Ginny grunted as she punched the bag in front of her. It'd been two weeks since Draco had started to teach her how to defend herself, but he concentrated more on Angelina a few times because she was better at this than Ginny.
Ginny's eyes narrowed and she punched the bag again, then turned into a roundhouse kick, as she felt jealousy wash over her. She stopped suddenly and the bag hit her side. She grunted and shoved it. Why am I jealous of Angelina spending time with Draco? She's got Blaise! Ginny thought.
"Angelina, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ginny asked, watching her friend come up from a bridge.
Angelina took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah." She jogged over to the flustered Ginny and asked, "Something wrong babe? You ok?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. How's Blaise?"
"He gets out of the Hospital today!" She smiled big, "In about fifteen minutes I'm gonna go to my room and shower and go meet him in his room."
"Why don't you go now, and take an extra long shower, relax your muscles."
"That's a good idea, I'll go in a minute, just gonna go thank Ferret-boy for the help." Angelina walked over to Draco and said a few things then left, giving a small wave, smile, then knowing wink at Ginny as she walked towards the door.
"How's the bag treating you?" Draco asked, walking over in a black beater tank and black jog pants.
"It's bored. Teach me some other stuff, please?" She pouted and looked up at him.
"No. You can't handle what I could teach you!"
"Malfoy, lets pretend I'm not your girlfriend for a few minutes. I took gymnastics for two years before I came to school. I know flips and stuff and you can help me maneuver punches into them."
"Fine." Draco said simply. Before Ginny could blink, Draco hooked his arm under hers and flipped her over on to the matted ground. She coughed as the air was sucked from her lungs. He bent down but Ginny rolled to the side, went into a back tuck, and was on her feet.
"Nice." Draco commented with a nod. He took a step forward and Ginny took a step backward.
He took two forward and she went into a back handspring, he followed her and when she landed, she was looking into his eyes. Without moments hesitation, she kicked his legs out from underneath him in one swift movement.
Draco coughed and smirked, then did the same to Ginny with his arm. She shrieked and crashed to the ground and giggled.
"Talk about sweeping a girl off her feet." She blushed and groaned, "I didn't just say that."
Draco laughed slightly and rolled over to kiss her. She sighed into the kiss and pulled away, looking into his eyes.
"You graduate in a few months."
"Yeah… so?" Draco asked, detecting the sad note in her voice.
"I don't. I graduate next year." Ginny said with another sad sigh.
"Oh…" Draco lamely said.
"So, I guess this was a 'fun-while-it-lasted' type of thing?"
Draco looked confused and shrugged, "I don't know, I guess…"
Ginny noticed disappointment in his voice. She kissed him and stood up, "Gotta go. Hermione wants me to supervise Lavender and Parvati's plans for the Valentine's Day dance." Ginny said, and rolled her eyes.
"Oh fun!" Draco said sarcastically, standing up himself.
"Tell me about it." Ginny groaned. She sighed and smiled, "Bye." She turned to leave when Draco grabbed her elbow and turned her around, smashing his lips on to hers. She moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck, before sighing into the kiss, and pulling away, "I've gotta go. I want to stay but I can't. I'll Floo to your room later, I need to talk to you." She kissed him once more and left.

"You're Damn Right Cause I Heard Them Lame Dame Excuses Yesterday!" Angelina sang as she ran towards the Great Hall. She had a habit of doing that a lot.
She ran into the Great Hall and grabbed a piece of bread and then ran towards the Head Table, "Hey, Professor McGonagall, I was wondering, you know that Transfiguration homework? I was wondering if I could turn it in late, after class on Monday. Madame Pomfrey already lent the book out to another student. And it's a book really important to my essay."
"Sure Miss Michaels. I expect it by Monday's curfew."
"Thanks." Angelina smiled and left. She was really planning on waiting to do the homework after classes, and since her family was gone and her boyfriend nearly having died, she was sliding through almost anything. She knew it wasn't right to exploit her problems like that, but she knew Percy and Voldemort wanted to keep her family alive otherwise they would be screwed in luring Ginny and Angelina to come and rescue them.
Angelina walked through the halls and felt someone come up behind her, "Blaise, you better not try anything here in the halls, dinner will be out soon."
She felt his gloved hand wrap around her elbow and pull her into the empty classroom on her left.
"You just come back in from Quidditch? You've only been out of the Hospital Wing two weeks. Pomfrey let you play?"
She was roughly slammed against the wall and a hand pressed against her mouth. The faint aroma of brimstone tickled her smell senses. She recognized the smell of the museum.
She grunted and punched him in the stomach, "Didn't know you had the balls to attack us at school, Percy."
"Shut your mouth." He bit out, doubled over clutching his stomach in pain.
"You hurt me, I have dozens of owls that once someone sets out the warning bell that I've gone missing, or my body's been found, owls are charmed to swoop down and drop a note letting everyone know who's behind the Weasley and Michaels' family disappearance. Your precious Voldemort's plans will be screwed."
"You dare threaten me?" He asked, his hands coiling around her neck.
"Uhm, yep!" She cockily stated, as she punched his face and kicked him below the belt. She then ran like a smart person, straight to the Great Hall, blending in with the mass of students.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
"He attacked you?" Ginny asked, pacing the room, eyebrows furrowed, arms crossed over her chest.
"Yeah. I made up some bullshit about owls to drop letters saying that he was a traitor if I went missing or was found dead. He freaked, I kicked his ass, and ran, straight to Blaise's room. He called you guys, you know the rest."
Blaise looked angry and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and kissed her temple.
"We can't wait for tomorrow night. We have to do this tonight."
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Angelina ran down the stairs quietly. She wore black sneakers, black skin tight jeans, and a forest green tank top, with her leather jacket over it.
She met with Ginny at the bottom of the stairs and sighed. Ginny wore dark blue jeans, a long sleeved black top with a v-neck, black sneakers, and Charlie's leather jacket.
"You ready?" Angelina whispered.
"Yeah, you?" Ginny whispered back.
"I've been ready for three months." Angelina told her, her eyes flashing dangerously, she pulled on black leather gloves, mimicking as Ginny did so too.
They moved towards the stairs, heading up towards the boys dorm.

Short chapter. But, I know I just Saturday but stuff started happening. I know this chapter sucked, but I wanted to get it out to start with the whole four-part ending.
I've been fighting the computer because I've been watching the X-Men movies I rented and my fingers are itching to do another fic. If that happens, It'll be forever before I work on this again. So, I'm trying to decide, whether to immediately start a sequel, take a break then start it, do a different fic, or take a break till after like February or something. So I'm asking all of you:
What Should I Do? Should I:
A: Start immediately with the sequel.
B: Wait a few days/weeks to build suspense and work on the plot
C: Not do one
D: Do a different fic
And:
Which actor could you see playing Blaise Zabini? Just wondering who you see most as in your mind through stories with him. For some reason, I see him as a British Shane West.Thanks:
Rose petel – Hehe, don't worry. There will be a sequel… well, there's a 99.8% chance of one ^__^
Sweetthang123 – ^__^ I'm a drama queen at heart so I wanted that little thing in there. I love it when two people come back together under dramatic situations.
Lina – Sorry, I was in a rush with the end to update and made that mistake, thanks for pointing it out. And thanks for the title, I'll try to read it.
Lil'River – Lol, thanks for reading ad reviewing
Hpfan00 – Sorry for the later wait. I'm glad you like Angelina and Blaise together. I usually put OC's in fics because I love having free reign over someone, and I thought she'd be interesting with Blaise.
Carmilla Zabini – Ooh, love the new name ^__^ Hehe, like I said, I'm a major drama queen. Love to put the dramatics in. It's the first time I think I've ever made anyone cry unintentionally lol.
SickGirl42 – Yeah, it was so sad when he died! I hate the new Dumbledore! Yep, him and Angie need to be together cause sadly, the fic will be ending soon
BishounenzAngel – Thanks! ^__^ BTW: Cool name. I love saying it lol.
Dancergirl360 – Lol! I have a love-hate relationship with cliffies, I love doin 'em, hate reading 'em. Lol! Lmao, love your review :D Thanks!
GinnyGINvampire00 aka Evon – Thanks for reading! I'm glad you like my story. It's so awesome! I still can't believe you're reading it. I thought his problem was too fast but, I needed to get Angie and Blaise back together for the ending, but I also had to do the 'revealing thing' where the truth came out that he knew, so, I put the prob in and made it fast and put them together again :D
Killer-the-cat – Sorry for the long update, Thanks for reading.
ESN – Yeah, well, I got better! That's partly why this chapter took so long cause of a small relapse, but better now :D Here's the update
Unperfection – Aww, thanks so much! That's so sweet! Thanks for reading and reviewing
Sasatia – Wow! 5 outta 5! Thanks sooooo much!!! Ooh! I love that song! :D That's why I had Angelina singin it sorta
Poison Of A Mind – Lol, I'm usually too lazy too! Like I said to GinnyGIN, I needed to put them back together, and that's the fastest way I could think, I certainly wouldn't just forgive him like that but, it seemed to work, although clichéd, still worked ;)
Neca – thanks for reading and reviewing. I usually do that, lol. Read fics in one. Most recent one I did was The Source, it's a great D/G, but very, very long.
