One of Life's Jokes

Ginny Weasley walk an even pace to the library. She open the heavy doors and headed to Madam Prince's desk. Madam Prince, look up at Ginny.

"Yes dear?" She inquired. Causing a slight smile to grace Ginny's lips, before asking her request.

"Where are the potions books, located?" She asked smiling. Madam Prince replied the following.

"First row at the end, dear."

"Thanks," Ginny replied before leaving to the first row.

Ginny browsed the book titles until she found the one she was looking for. Of course it was on the highest shelf. Ginny rolled her eyes "figures," she mutters. So, Ginny began to jump to reach the book.

Ginny sighed and ran a hand, through her red hair in frustration. She was about to jump one more time when a pale arm grabbed the book off the bookshelf.

Ginny grasped in shocked and whirled around to face her hero. Her eyes widen slightly at the person standing in front of her now. "Tom," she thought silently.

He wore the same black robes, with the Slytherin crest pinned proudly. Same black hair, slightly falling in his eyes. Pale skin that look perfect and his beautiful blue eyes.

Ginny paused. Tom had emerald green eyes, like Harry not blue. This shade of sapphires was very compelling, Ginny noticed. Ginny looked up at him and spoke.

"Why is it that the book the short people want is always on the highest shelf?" Ginny felt a smile tugged at her lips. He handed her the book; "it must be one of life's jokes." He replied giving her a wink.

"Who are you?" He smiled at her and bowed to her before speaking.

"Blaise Zabini at your service," he replied.

Ginny stared at him. "Never heard of you," she said honestly.

He smiled and pointing to the Slytherin crest on his robes. "This good be why," he replied giving her a brilliant smile. Ginny did her best to stifle her giggle. Ginny composed herself as he winked at her again. She smiled at Blaise and replied, "well I am -"

"I know who you are," Blaise replied to her. Ginny raised an eyebrow at him.

"How exactly do you know me," she inquired. He looked at her hazel eyes and replied.

"I saw you one day across the hall and I ask Draco who you were."

"Why were you looking at me though?" Ginny questioned.

Blaise didn't break the eye contact, "I though you were beautiful." He said with pure sincerely.

Ginny felt a blush appears on her cheeks and mumbled, "I better go." Ginny began to walk towards the exit when Blaise blocked it.

Ginny looked up at him shocked and Blaise looked down into her eyes, intensely. "Where do you think your going," he replied amused.

Ginny replied was weak, "the Great Hall."

"Not without me I hope," he replied placing her arm through his. Ginny blinked in confusion. Blaise looked at her and smiled gently at her.

She looked into his eyes and relaxed. He looked at her and spoke. "You and I will never be apart."

Ginny smiled brightly at him and replied. "All we need is just the two of us." She leaned her head on his shoulder as they walk to the Great Hall.
