Chapter 4 – And so it begins.
The next morning Ginny woke up bright and early and ready to take anyone on. She just had a great feeling about today. She then got her things together and went to take her shower and get ready for the first take back.
She came back out and hour later wearing a white mini skirt and a read t-shirt with a plunging neckline and a pair of heels, since she was at Hogwarts she couldn't very well wear a pair of flip-flops. For her hair she used a curling charm so it fell in soft ringlets down her back. She barely used any make-up since she felt the natural look was better rather then looking fake.
When she looked around the room she noticed that everyone else must have gone ahead down to breakfast without her. So she grabbed her black school robe and back then headed down to breakfast herself.
Once she arrived in the Great Hall she saw that Danika had saved her a seat so she made her way over. Once she was seated she grabbed herself some blueberry pancakes and a glass of juice. The owl post arrived shortly after along with their class schedules. Ginny just sighed looking at it. She had advanced potions with the Slytherins first period. Great, just great! She was really starting to regret accepting the offer to take the seventh year course and just skipping sixth year potions. Of course it wasn't Snape who had wanted to have her skip in fact he was completely against it but Dumbledore had the final say so here she was on her to the god forsaken class.
She slowly made her way down to the dungeons but not too slow she wasn't looking to be late and get herself a detention on the first day back. When she got to the class room door she saw her brother and Harry waiting by the door. Maybe the class wouldn't be so bad after all if she at least had her brother and his friends there with her.
"Hey Gin," Ron greeted his sister.
"Hi Ron, Harry," Ginny said as she made her way into the class.
"We got Hermione to save you a seat," Harry explained as he gestured to their table.
"Oh thanx guys," Ginny said as she went to sit at the last available seat next to Hermione.
"No problem Gin," Hermione said. She then continued to take her books out of her bag.
Snape then made his way into the room with his usual scowl and greasy hair. He made his way up to the front of the room to his desk, as he passed by each table the students stopped talking, kind of like a domino effect. Once he reached his desk he slammed his books down and turned to face the students.
"Up all of you," he ordered. When he saw that everyone was looking around lost he shouted "NOW"
The students didn't even give it a second thought. They jumped out of their seats and looked at the professor slightly frightened, at least the Gryffindors did. Some students were whispering amongst themselves, which only angered Snape even more.
"SILENCE," he yelled. Once they stopped talking he continued. "Gather up your things and move to the back of the room, all of you."
Everyone had learnt their lesson from earlier so they collected their things and went to stand at the back of the room.
"Now as of the request of the foolish Headmaster there will be a seating plan and yes that's means both houses will be mixed together," the professor explained.
He then went on to call on the students and place them randomly throughout the room. Hermione was paired with Malfoy, Harry with Zabini, Ron with Parkinson and so on. Due to the odd numbers Ginny was stuck with Crabbe and Goyle. She received sympathy glances from all of her Gryffindor classmates; she just smiled back at them. Complaints came from every place in the room, nobody was pleased with this awful seating arrangement.
"Oh do shut up all of you," Snape growled. "This wasn't my idea the Headmaster feels that it's important to put aside the house rivalries especially with the war quickly approaching."
Now the students just laughed, was the Headmaster nuts? There was no way at all that the Gryffindor Slytherin war was ever going to end. Least of all because of a new seating arrangement that placed them beside each other. This was ridiculous. Before anyone was able to have their input the professor put up his hand to silence them all.
"Enough, now let's all be mature about this, get to work your assignment is on the board," Snape stated. He then went to sit at his desk. He saw that no one was moving "Get to work!"
They all went to work now. Ginny just sat there for a second with her head in her hands. Why oh why did she have to get these two for partners? Seeing that they weren't going to do any of the work she got up and went to get the necessary supplies and got to work.
When she was about to put the lid in her test tube with the sample of the potion that's when Crabbe and Goyle started to look alive. It appeared as though Snape was actually standing right in front of them. She figured he was going to yell at them for just sitting there the whole time.
"Mrs. Weasley, making your partners do all the work are we?" he questioned.
Ginny was shocked. What was the professor talking about?! She had done all the work, those two. When she looked around she saw them both with smirks on their faces. It appeared that they were cleaning everything up and had filled another test tube up and were handing it to Snape. Those jerks.
"What? No I did everything, they just sat there," she exclaimed.
"That's enough Mrs. Weasley, detention tonight," he stated and just walked away.
"God damn Slytherins all deserve to die, especially these two idiots," she mumbled as he walked away.
"What was that?" he asked turning around.
"You herd me professor," she replied as she crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him.
"I'll see you tomorrow night as well then," he said as he went to check on the other students.
Virginia could just hear all of the Slytherins laughing at her expense but she just couldn't bring herself to care. That was until she saw a certain blonde Slytherin laughing right at her. Before she could even think she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Malfoy whispering the hex. She had learnt it over the summer from Fred and George, it would cause the person to lose their balance. Poor Malfoy didn't see it coming. He had been on his way to empty out the rest of his potion when he tripped and the liquid poured out of the cauldron and landed all over Snape. She had only meant for him to trip and land on his face but this was so much better.
"MALFOY," Snape growled. He was covered from head to toe in this boy's potion.
"Uhh...sorry professor," Draco tried. He really had no idea as to what just happened. If he wasn't a Malfoy he would have been terribly embarrassed. He was being laughed at by all of his peers, it was happening a lot these days.
"Detention Malfoy," Snape sneered. He then performed a cleaning spell on himself and the floor.
Draco was too shocked that he had actually received a detention by his head of house to even say anything. He then glared at everyone who dared to laugh at him. He then saw that the youngest Weasley was laughing more then anyone else. Had she done this to him? Oh that little wench! She was going to pay. She wasn't going to get away with this not by a long shot.
Ginny saw that he was glaring at her, well I guess he figured out it was I, oh well. She just gave him and innocent sweet smile and went about putting her books away.
On her way out of the classroom she felt someone grab her arm.
"Watch it Weasel," Draco whispered in her ear.
Ginny then grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear "You keep saying that Malfoy, but it seems as though you have yet to actually do anything."
With that she was off on her way to charms. Draco was beyond pissed there was no way she was going to keep showing him up. He would get her back in detention tonight.
