Calling Out to You
Chapter 2
Between glancing at her watch and drinking her hot cocoa Ginny sat quietly before the fire listening to Hermione talk about her Arithmancy class. Ginny had thought it would be prudent to ally herself with Hermione for several reasons. Firstly, she was a prefect and very intelligent. Hermione also had very few other girl friends so Ginny was a welcome change of pace for Hermione, who was used to listening about quidditch and food. Hermione in turn liked Ginny for the strong independent girl she had become and she was the little sister of her longtime crush. Ginny often thought it was silly of Hermione to hid her feelings for Ron because he obviously felt the same way as she did, even though he would never admit to it.
Ginny often thought it was wrong to use her for these reasons, but the main reason she tolerated Hermione was the fact she was her connection to Harry's mind. Harry told Hermione most of his feelings, and she computed them and even explained them to him. Hermione would also pass any interesting information to Ginny as they sipped hot cocoa and studied.
Ginny's manipulative ways extended far beyond Hermione. Teachers believed any excuse she handed them, no matter how farfetched. No one thought her capable of lying or skiving off classes, Fred and George did not even believe she would take their brooms out of the garden shed.
She was not above using her beauty to attain her goals either. Asking boys to do her homework or give her notes was as easy as fluttering her eyelashes and saying please. Smiles and soft kisses had helped her achieve whatever she had wanted or needed at the time. She knew it was wrong to lead these boys on, but Ginny believed any boy who was petty enough to like her for her looks was not worth her time anyways.
Of course there was only one boy worthy of her in her mind and his name was Harry Potter.
Ginny looked at her watch and decided it was time to meet Blaise in the library to begin tutoring him. After saying goodbye to Hermione, she exited through the portrait and walked to the library. Blaise was already there reading his textbook. Ginny took the time to study him before entering.
He looked between his book and watch in anticipation, obviously waiting for her. His clothes were that of any pureblooded Slytherin boy, expensive. Something about him was different that of any of the other Slytherins like Crabbe, Malfoy, or Goyle. He was different than Marcus Flint who would whistle at girls in the hallway, he was more peaceful. Ginny however was wrong in that one assumption. She knew very little about Blaise's life before he had come to Hogwarts, except that he was Malfoy's cousin on his father's side.
Ginny walked slowly towards the table, seating herself on Blaise's right side. He tried to pretend as though he was deeply immersed in his upside down Charms book.
"Hello Blaise, good book, eh?" she said cooly.
"Evening, I do not know I have barely read any of it," he said looking upon it with disdain.
"I think I can solve that," she replied turning the book right side up and handing it back to him with a smirk. He blushed slightly, but made no more comments about it. Instead he sat patiently waiting for her to begin teaching him something.
"Charms is an entirely practical subject," she began looking at his stack of notes. "It is through the study of linguistics and wand movements charms are performed successfully. Often considered the most intriguing branch of magic, charms has been in use since the beginning of magic. The opposite of a charm is a curse. A charm can either end, block, or impede a curse," she recited as if by rote. Blaise looked at her feeling slightly drowsy. "Do you understand?" she asked looking at his dejected expression.
"Yes, but frankly I could care less," he said in a tone of utmost sincerity.
"Well, I doubt Flitwick cares whether or not you care so we will continue if you do not mind," she said mocking him slightly. After reading a bit out the textbook she had him perform a few simple charms.
"This fourth year material, Weasley. I need help in Sixth-year Charms class," he complained trying to converse with her. "Let's take a break and continue in a bit perhaps?"
"Fine, but don't blame me if you fail your test," she said, but then she remembered that this boy was still an enigma to her. "So what's it like, being a Slytherin?"
"I have always enjoyed it. The strong survive the weak disappear, but in the end there is no loyalty, no rules, and no alliance unbroken. Sometimes family or ties to old blood can save you, but rarely," he said casually thinking she would have idea about what it truly meant to be ruthless.
"You and Malfoy are cousins, right?" she asked in a wondering tone.
"Yes, his father and my mother were brother and sister," he answered.
"Were?" she questioned confused by his statement.
"Yes, my mother died when I was three. She and my younger sister were mugged and killed while they were in muggle London. The man was a muggle and was never caught," he said softly. Ginny's eyed widened in terror and shock.
"I am so sorry, Blaise. Maybe we should end here for today, but we will have another session soon," Ginny said feeling slightly depressed.
Blaise gathered his books and notes, then left the library. He had no idea what had possessed him to talk about his mother and Lydia, but he wished he would not have. At the end of the corridor Draco was waiting for him.
"So how was tutoring, Blaise?" Draco asked. "What did that Weasley girl have to say?"
"It was fine, I think I am going to go to my room, I will see you later, Draco," Blaise mumbled leaving behind a very curious Malfoy. Draco wondered at his cousin's strange behavior, but attributed it to his grueling study session, but anything that involved Ginny Weasley could not be too agonistic.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~A/N: I have to thank all of those wonderful people who reviewed and those who plan on reviewing. I love hearing your comments and critiques. I think the pairing is drifting towards Blaise/Ginny just so everyone knows, even though its under Ginny/Blaise.
