Chapter 3
When Draco finally went to bed it was around midnight. His potion had exploded and he spent the rest of the evening cleaning the Potions room and making a new potion.
Stupid girl. Everything was coming along nicely before she came.
And he wasn't just talking about his potion. Snape was just about to open up to him when that Weasley girl burst in.
His father had sent an urgent letter saying that the Dark Lord wanted as much information on Snape's current status as possible. Draco was the person who had to gather the information so his father had arranged private potions lessons with Snape, even though he hadn't needed it.
Now that the Weasely girl was in the picture, she had become another obstacle he had to overcome. She was definitely suspicious about the whole situation and would go to any lengths to protect Snape.
But the puzzling thing was that why she cared about Snape so much. Snape didn't usually mix with students, especially Gryffindors. Hell, he had been suspicious when Draco had wanted extra lessons.
What was between them?
Shaking his head, he turned over and decided he could figure it some other day. Right now he needed some well earned sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny reached the Gryffindor common room breathless. What were the Malfoys planning on doing to Snape? Hadn't they done enough to him already?
Ginny sighed, knowing it was hopeless. She might as well beg to Malfoy on her knees but then again, she wasn't Fred and George's sister for nothing.
She said the password and stepped into the common room, almost smashing into Ron.
"Where the hell have you been?" Ron said as soon as he regained his composure.
'Am I two seconds later than your curfew?" Ginny asked sarcastically.
"No, you weren't at dinner!" Ron said indignantly.
"Sorry, I was having a filling calming potion," she lied as she tried to push past him.
Just then a strange sound came from Harry's pocket. He took out the sneakscope, looking sheepish. He was about to apologise when Ron stated "That's a lie Gin."
"Wow, you finally figured," Ginny said sarcastically. She was very tired and the thought of strangling Ron and Harry was looking inviting.
"So, where were you?" He was getting very annoying.
" I was watching ferret-face make a potion, okay?" she snapped as she finally got past Ron.
"What!" Ron exclaimed, have hoping that the sneakscope would go off again.
"You heard me" Ginny was enjoying the effect her words were having on him.
"What the hell were you doing with Malfoy a few minutes after Seamus broke up with you?" Ron yelled.
People in the common room were looking up now and some were edging away from the pair. Though Weasley fights were always entertaining, they could be dangerous.
"That's none of your business. And how do you know Seamus broke up with me?" Ginny asked suspiciously. She knew Seamus breaking up with her had something more behind it than Ron's usual badgering.
"That's not important," Ron said, a bit flustered. "What were you doing with Malfoy?" He went back to his previous argument, trying to hide his discomfort.
"If you really want to know, Snape told me to supervise him while he went to arrange some things" She started walking towards the stairs.
"Git" Ron said loudly.
"Who's the git, Malfoy or Snape?" Ginny asked coolly as she turned around to face him.
Ron, not realizing the change in her tone or the way her eyes shone dangerously. "Both of them"
"Don't You Dare call Snape a git," Ginny said barely above a whisper, but everyone heard her. She turned around and stomped up the stairs leading to her dormitory, leaving a surprised common room and a very shocked Ron behind.
