Chapter 2
Ginny collapsed on the sofa, extremely grateful for the weekend.
"Tired?" asked Blaise Zambini, smirking. Blaise was her fellow roommate, and work colleague, and happened to be Ginny's best friend. After meeting Blaise at Witch Weekly, they had immediately become friends. Ginny had decided to share her apartment, so she could escape the burrow, and finally settle in a place of her own. If someone had told Ginny that she was going to be best friends with Blaise Zambini after graduation, she would have told that person to get their head checked. Ginny and Blaise were completely opposite.
Blaise had been a cunning Slytherin, who dated a different wizard every two weeks. Ginny had been a Gryffindor, a Harry Potter loyalist, and had dated a total of four men. Blaise was tall and slim, with long, dark brown hair and gorgeous almond-shaped eyes. Ginny, on the other hand, had a small figure. She was petite, with shoulder-length flaming red hair, brown eyes, and a few leftover freckles from her childhood. She often felt like a small child around Blaise, and still couldn't understand their friendship.
"Can you believe I have to interview Draco Malfoy?" Ginny asked weakly. "I don't know how I'll stand it. All those times he's made fun of me back during Hogwarts!"
Blaise grinned, her eyes twinkling. "Draco? He used to be one of my closest friends," she said, kicking off her shoes. "We had so much fun together... playing pranks on the pitiful first-years" She sat down next to Ginny.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Yes, how silly of me to forget. The Amazing Draco Malfoy. Weren't you his girlfriend for a year?"
"Yes! Well, for almost a year." Blaise said laughing. "All the other girls were jealous, weren't they?"
Ginny raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, I'm SURE they were. Plotting some kind of seduction? Going to try to woo him over again?"
Blaise laughed. "No, seriously! I remember Pansy Parkinson was ready to claw my eyes out, she was so jealous." Then, she added jokingly, "They all wanted him...'cause he was so damn sexy!"
The two girls rolled over laughing.
