A/N: Okay, firstly Ginny, Zi, Harry, and Blaise are all in Slytherin (the rest of the Slytherins are the same until further notice). Ron, Hermione, and Draco are in Gryffindor (the rest of the Gryffindors are the same until further notice). The main ships are Ginny/Blaise (only the first half of the story), Ginny/Draco, Zi/Harry, and tiny bits of Hermione/Ron. Everything else is pretty much the same.
Chapter 2
"Professor Snape would like to see all his Prefects in his office, but before you all leave, I'd like to make a few announcements. Firstly, Miss Zi Chang and Miss Ginerva Weasley, both members of the Slyterhin house, will be moving up from sixth year to seventh year because of their outstanding marks on last year's O.W.L.'s." Blaise and Harry smiled at Ginny and Zi, who were smiled back after throwing a few smirks at Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindors.
"This is brilliant, now you'll both be in our year!" Blaise said as he wrapped an arm around Ginny, who was sitting next to him. He started to kiss her, but she pushed him away with a mischievous smile.
"One more surprise, listen."
"Finally, I'd like to announce the Head Boy and Girl for this year," Dumbeldore began. "As Head Boy we have Mr. Draco Malfoy." Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw cheered loudly and a collective groan was heard from the Slytherin Table. "And for our Head Girl, Miss Ginerva Weasley." The Slytherin Table erupted in cheers and applause that was louder than the applause of the other three houses put together.
Ginny and the rest of Slytherin were on their feet at that point; Balise grabbed Ginny around the waist and, picking her up, twirled her around.
"Alright, children, please." Dumbledore smiled as the Slytherins started to settle down. "Please proceed to your dormitories, I would like to see the Head Boy and Girl in my office."
"Hey wait." Blaise grasped Ginny's arm as she started to leave and turned her around. He smiled and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. Ginny affectionately flicked his hair out of his eyes as she pulled away, smiling. "Proud of you."
"Thanks." Ginny laughed and hugged him tightly before leaving the Great Hall.
Dumbledore's Office
"Hello, Ginny."
"What do you want, ferret-boy?"
"Why are you so mean? I was just saying hello."
"I'm not mean. I just don't like you," Ginny stated indignantly as she sat down in one of the two chairs in front of Dumbeldore's desk.
"And why is that? I've never done anything to hurt you."
"Besides gawking at me this entire summer like I'm some magnificent trophy you'd like to add to your case, you are the most arrogant, stuck-up, insufferable prat I've ever me. Does that answer your question?"
"I'm sorry for 'gawking', but you're … you're really beautiful, Gin."
"Firstly, flattery's not going to get you anywhere with me. And second of all, don't call me Gin. I'm not a sodding alcoholic drink."
"Sorry," Draco said in a small voice as he sat down. "Can we just make a truce? Neither of us will survive this year if we don't. Call a truce to at least be civil to each other?"
"Fine, Malfoy."
"And can't we at least use each other's first names?" Draco was already more than annoyed and it was only the first day back to school.
"Yeah, sure. I'll call you Draco, if and only if you call me Enya."
"Fine. Why do people call you that anyways?"
"Vivi started it. It means 'little fire' in Gaelic and she thought it suited me better than Ginny." Just then, Dumbledore came in and sat down at his desk.
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy, Miss Weasley. I believe congratulations are in order. Well done, both of you."
"Thank you professor," Ginny and Draco said simultaneously.
"As I'm sure you know, you'll each have your own room. And you'll share a Common Room. Your rooms are in the Dungeons, behind the picture of Hercules and the Serpent. I daresay you know where that is, Miss Weasley."
"Yes, professor." Ginny smiled innocently at the Headmaster, always the perfect child when adults were around.
'We will be having a faculty meeting tomorrow after breakfast, as there are no classes. You will attend all faculty meetings for the rest of the year starting tomorrow. SO unless you have any questions, I will see you in the Great Hall in the morning." Dumbledore smiled at them, his eyes twinkling as they nodded and left his office.
Heads' Common Room
"This is brilliant. After sharing my dormitory for six years, it feels fabulous to have the whole place to myself."
"I'm sure it does." Ginny didn't look up from the book she was reading as Draco sat down next to her on the couch.
"They decorated my room with Gryffindor colors. Expected as much. Was yours done in silver and green?"
"Yes," she answered curtly.
"Huge bed too. King size. And did you see the bathroom? Too bad we have to share one though. That shouldn't be a problem as I know you're an early riser from staying at The Burrow all summer."
"Yes." Ginny's jaw twitched as she tried to keep herself from jumping up and hexing Draco into the Void right then and there.
"Oh come on, you can't tell me you're not happy to have your own room."
"No, I'm not. I'd rather stay in the Slytherin dormitories. At least then, I wouldn't have to deal with jerks like you interrupting me when I'm trying to read!" She stood up and stormed out of the room, slamming shut the portrait as she went.
Slytherin Girls' Dormitory
"He's just so arrogant. I can't stand him!" Ginny sighed and, closing her eyes, tried to relax. Blaise came around and sat behind her, massaging her shoulders. She smiled grateful and leaned against him, but kept her eyes closed.
"You'll get through it, Enya. Besides, its not like it behooves him to piss you off. I mean you've got all of Slytherin wrapped around your finger. Except the three of us, of course." Zi was sitting on Harry's lap on a chair near the door and he was kissing her neck slowly. He stopped and picked up his head to laugh.
"Well the two of us, anyways." Blaise rolled his eyes and threw Harry the finger.
"Blaise, it's not nice to flip off your friends," said Ginny, whose eyes were still closed.
"How do you do that?!"
"Wouldn't you like to know, Zi?" Sensing that she was calm again, Blaise let go of her shoulders and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her cheek. "OH and the password's 'The Ides of March' if you ever want to come visit." Ginny smirked.
"Quidditch practice next Monday."
"Merlin, Harry. Are you off on that already?" Zi sighed exasperatedly and leaned against Harry.
"I'm not off on anything, love. I just want to ensure that we win the cup this year."
"We'll win the cup, Harry. I mean we've got you as Seeker, bloody brilliant, Blaise and I as Beaters, the best in the History of Slytherin, I might add –"
"And so very modest as well."
"Zi you're such a bitch," Ginny said as she threw Zi the finger.
"Well at least I'm in good company."
"As I was saying. Zi, Flint, and the little Zabini sister as Chasers. Gryffindor lost Johnson, Spinnet, and Bell last year. They were the only ones that even came close to rivaling our chasers. Of course, our keeper could be better, seeing as it's only his first year on the team. Besides, Blaise and I will have the Chasers on their asses before they even get possession. Just like we always have."
"Damn straight we will. It's not like with Hufflepuff, where Enya and I don't really care if we mess them up. With Gryffindors, I want to smash all of their bloody heads in, with Bludgers of course. Especially that Creevy kid, he always looks at you funny; I don't like it."
"I hope you're right," Harry answered doubtfully.
"Hey, I say we'll get the cup. And I'm always right, so we'll get the cup, okay? Now, both of you out, I want to go to bed."
"Aw, c'mon Zi. You could calm Harry down and Enya could make me a lot happier with the fact that she'll be staying with the Albino." Zi and Ginny rolled their eyes simultaneously as Harry nodded his head in agreement.
"Ugh, for once, can you think with your head and not your dick?!" Zi and Ginny exchanged looks. "Okay, that was a stupid question."
"Yeah," Zi agreed. "But it doesn't matter. Out, out, out!" Zi yelled as she pulled Harry to his feet and pushed him towards the door and Ginny did the same to Blaise.
"Wait, Enya. Aren't you supposed to be sleeping in the Heads' room?" Harry asked just before they shut the door in his and Blaise's faces.
"Fuck," Ginny replied with a sneer.
"C'mon, I'll walk you. Wouldn't want the Albino to get any ideas," Blaise said, offering Ginny his hand. Ginny sighed and took it.
Heads' Common Room
Draco didn't look up from his mini quidditch pitch when he heard the portrait open. He recognized Ginny's voice immediately, along with a male's voice, which he assumed was either Harry or Blaise.
"Don't you have something to say?" the male voice asked, slightly perturbed.
"No, not really," Draco replied.
"That's no way to treat a lady," is what Draco heard as he was picked up by his collar and pushed against the wall.
"Blaise!"
"What? He ignored you completely! If he was a pure-blood, he'd know that that's not how you treat a witch. Especially a powerful one like you."
"I am a pureblood you wanker," Draco retorted.
"Then I guess your father's too busy with his muggle toys to teach you manners. Stupid muggle-lovers." With that, Blaise released Draco and he and Ginny walked up to her dormitory.
"Blaise, what the sodding hell was that?"
"He's a jackass and nobody's going to treat my girlfriend like that. Pureblood traditions may be old, but it doesn't make them any less right. You stand and address a lady when she enters, that's the way it works. Stupid wanker." Ginny smiled in spite of herself and wrapped her arms around Blaise's neck, playing with his hair.
"That's sweet," she said in a low voice. "I'm going to go change into my pajamas." Ginny brushed her lips quickly against his before breaking away and heading for the bathroom. Blaise sat down on the edge of her bed to wait and she came out five minutes later. She was wearing a pair of Blaise's boxers, presumably the ones that had gone missing after she'd been at his house that summer, and his old green silk button-up pajama shirt, which was left unbuttoned to reveal a black bra. She sat down behind Blaise, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You look good in my clothes. You should wear them more often."
"I'm sure you think so." All of a sudden, Ginny got that cold feeling in the pit of her stomach, the one that she got every once in a while and never failed to send chills throughout her entire body. She never understood why she got them, but only four people in the world knew about them, other than herself; Bill, Zi, Blaise, and Harry. She always did her best to dismiss them, and was usually able to. But sometimes, like right then, she'd become suddenly very afraid. She'd started having them in the year before she started Hogwarts; they came without warning and didn't seem to have a rhyme or reason to them. However, in that moment, Ginny sincerely didn't want to be alone. She started to panic as Blaise stood up. "Wait! Blaise stay …" She trailed off and looked away sheepishly.
"Weird feeling again?" Ginny was amazed at how well Blaise knew her and how well he was able to read her thoughts. She bit her lip and nodded slowly.
"I know it sounds childish … but I really don't want to stay alone tonight." Blaise chuckled.
"Not a problem at all, love. I daresay you have some of my clothes here that I'd be able to sleep in?" Ginny smiled and, getting up, found him a pair of boxers and an old t-shirt of his that she had confiscated. She loved wearing his clothes; they smelled like him and were extremely comfortable.
Half an hour later, they were both curled up underneath the covers of Ginny's king size bed. Ginny sighed contentedly as she snuggled closer to Blaise. "Heard something interesting about my brother the other day."
"Oh really, what's that?"
"Just that he is totally crushing on Hermione. But I already knew that. The best part is; I have the whole thing on tape," Ginny said with an evil smile.
"Mm, I smell blackmail in the air."
A/N: Okay, I hope that A/N at the beginning cleared some things up for you guys and if you have any more questions, you can email me at the address in my bio, or just leave it in the review and I'll answer it after the next chapter. I'm sorry this took so long; my beta's computer has a virus on it and is, ergo, dead. The next chapter is already written so it should be posted pretty soon. Thank you so much to all of my reviewers and please, please REVIEW THIS CHAPTER! Pees? Pees and carrots? (LOL, just for you goat!) Okay, now ONWARD!
Brokenangel: Here you go!
QueMontgomery: See the A/N at the beginning of this chapter. Merci, merci!
Evil babe: Yeah, that's kind of what inspired me to write it. A lot of people have Ginny either as goody two shoes (including myself) or as really evil, but I'm hoping to get a good mix. Merci!
CocoaQT15: LOL, Merci, merci! I'm so glad you liked it!
Eve Granger: I'm glad your opinion changed then! Merci!
Sinoda: I'm glad you think it works. There's some tid-bits about the new Golden Trio in Chapter 4, so that will be the true test as to whether or not it really works. Merci!
LaGau: Haha, thanks so much! I hope Harry was bad-boy enough for you in this chapter, but if he wasn't, NEVER FEAR! He's going to remain a bad boy for the rest of the story. Merci!
Dracosbaby7: As you probably noticed, I wrote an A/N at the beginning about all the ships and stuff; I hope that helped. Haha, Ginny is really based off of my best friend and her relationship with Zi is based on my relationship with my best friend, so I'm hoping it's semi-realistic. In Chapter 4, there will be a lot of the new Golden Trio, so it should even itself out as to your opinions … I hope! Merci!
Disclaimer: Hmm … me and the owning of the Harry Potter-ness … not so much.
Dedication: This chapter is for Goat, my best friend, because it is my relationship with her that is the basis for Ginny and Zi's relationship and their conversations would have no abuse if it weren't for my Goat.
