Thanks to all my reviewers!!! You're all great...I know I haven't

it's all good. Snowy Winter Tales thanks for the tips. Ok, on to the story!

Last time: They made it to the garden and sat down with their food. Colin was the first to speak, "Are we going to Hogsmead this weekend? I need to stop by the twins shop, I need some more supplies."
"Me and Draco are hanging out this weekend." Blaise said.
Ginny stuck her tongue out at that, "I guess if you REALLY have to hang out with him, we can go next weekend. I'm running low on stuff too, and Fred and George have some new things they want us to try out."
"Yeah, that sounds good." Blaise chose to ignore Ginny's comment about Draco. "So you guys have anything planned?"
Ginny grinned, "Maybe, that's why I wanted to meet you guys tonight."
They all huddled together, and began to work out a plan for their first prank.
Chapter 4
"Ginny! Wake up!"
Ginny woke with a start and fell out of bed, "What time is it?"
"You have a half hour before classes, I brought you some toast." Hermione placed the plate on the bed. "Late night?"
"Thank you so much. Yeah, I was with Colin and Blaise last night." Ginny was eating toast and getting her things together.
"I'll see you later; I have meet Ron and Harry before class." Hermione left, leaving Ginny to finish getting ready.
Ginny got a quick shower, got dressed, and ran to History of Magic. She made it with seconds to spare, and settled herself next to Colin.
"Where were you?" Colin whispered.
"Over slept." She mouthed back as the lesson started.
With in seconds Colin was snoring softly, along with half the class. Not being able to sleep Ginny let mind wonder as she stared out the window.
She saw someone flying and decided that tomorrow she'd go out for a little extra practice before tryouts on Monday.
Still staring out the window she caught a glimpse of white blond hair gleaming in the son. 'Must be Draco' she thought to herself. 'He's not that bad of a flyer, wonder why he always loses to Harry'
She watched him flying gracefully for a little while, then finally dosed off.
She must have been talking in her sleep because she woke up to Colin laughing and trying to get her attention.
"Ginny, wake up, class is over." Colin said laughing.
"Where's the badger?" Ginny asked, clearly not awake yet.
This made Colin laugh harder as he dragged her off to their next class, telling her what homework they got from Binns.
The rest of Ginny's classes passed uneventfully and Ginny managed to stay awake in them, finally it was time for lunch.
"Hungry Gin?" Ron asked watching his sister pile her plate up.
"Starving!" Ginny said, stuffing more food into her mouth
Hermione came in and sat across from Ginny next to Harry and Ron. "What are you doing the rest of the day Gin?"
Swallowing her food, unlike Ron, she said, "I'm going to the library, I want to finish my homework before the weekend. I want to be able to go flying tomorrow; I need more practice before next weeks tryouts."
"I'm sure you'll make it, you're going out for chaser?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, beater didn't just didn't suit me."
Last year Ginny had played beater, and the year before that she had replaced Harry as seeker, since he was banned from Quidditch. She had been good at both positions, but she liked chaser the best.
"I'll be at the library if you need me." Ginny grabbed her bags and left for the library meeting Blaise on the way. He joined her, and together they finished that potions essay.
They started on their other homework, but you can't leave two pranksters in a library with out them getting into trouble.
"Pssst, Ginny." Blaise tried to get her attention.
Ginny looked up from her homework to see what Blaise wanted. He was pointing to a group of studying Ravenclaws. Winking he tossed a dungbomb over to their table.
Ginny rolled her eyes, but smiled all the same. He could be so immature sometimes. They watched the Ravenclaws screech and run out of the library.
Silently laughing the two made their way out of the library. As they passed the front desk where Madame Pince was repairing books, Ginny silently slipped one of Fred and Georges fake wands on her desk.
As they walked out they heard her screech, a sign that she had picked up the wand. Ginny and Blaise walked away laughing.
"I'll see you later tonight Gin." With that Blaise disappeared to the dungeons.
On her way back to the common room she felt her mirror vibrate. She picked it up, surprised to see Colin's face. "Yeah Colin?"
"Gin, I need help with my potions essay. I'm going to kill someone...." Colin seriously looked like he wanted to kill someone, probably Snape.
"I'm on my way, just breath Colin. Breath." With that she ran to her common room.
"Ginny to save the day!!" she yelled as the entered the Gryffindor Common Room. Several people looked at her confused, but most looked relived.
"Ginny, fix him! He's driving us crazy." Ron ran up to Ginny.
Laughing Ginny made her way over to Colin, who was currently scaring the crap out of some first years.
"Colin, I'm here to help. Just back away from the kids and it'll be ok." Ginny pulled Colin over to a table where he had all his stuff spread out. She cast an apologetic look over to the first years, and went to help Colin.
Eventually Colin finished his paper, and everyone went up to bed. "It's time; I'll go get Blaise this time. We'll meet at the kitchens. See you in a bit." Ginny left the common room and headed in the direction of the dungeons.
She stopped be a suit of armor and stood next to it. Pulling out her mirror she called for Blaise. "Blaise, start heading for the kitchen."
She waited for a little bit longer, and heard Blaise coming down the hall. Making sure it was him, she jumped out at him. He jumped back, looking like he was gonna pee in his pants.
Ginny clasped a hand over her mouth to stifle her laughter, while Blaise glared at her trying to compose himself. Getting themselves together they headed for the kitchens.
"That was so NOT funny, Ginny." Blaise was still a little shaken, and trying not to smile.
Giggling a little Ginny answered, "You're just upset because I scared the crap out of you. You know it's funny."
"You did not scare the...oh what the hell, yeah you did." Blaise laughed a bit.
They made it to the kitchens, but Colin wasn't there. Asking the houselves they found out he hadn't been there yet.
"I hope he didn't get caught." Ginny said sounding a little worried.
"I say we wait a little longer for him, then I guess we go without him." Blaise said. "Don't worry he's fine, it's probably just Filch...ok I take that back. I think we're going to have to find a new best friend. Filch is vicious." Blaise finished jokingly.
Ginny smiled a little at Blaise's attempt to cheer her up. A few moments later Colin stumbled in through the opening.
"Sorry...Filch...ran...lost him" Colin was out of breath. But both Ginny and Blaise understood.
They made their way to the garden cautiously, since Filch was out looking for Colin.
"Ok guys, it's supposed to rain on Monday. I say we do it then, you guys agree?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah, sounds good." Both boys said at the same time.
They spent the rest of the evening finalizing plans and talking about other things. None of them made it back until late that night.
Hope you guys liked, kinda boring, but I needed all that to continue with the rest of the story. You'll find out about the prank later, I'm not saying till they pull it. I hope you'll like it though. Well, good night and I'll post more tomorrow.
