Chapter 7
Ginny went to lunch silently fuming, with Colin along side her, laughing at her mood. Still scowling, Ginny entered the Great Hall and went over to the Gryffindor Table.
"Hey Gin, what's wrong?" Hermione asked, as Ginny threw herself down next to her brother.
"I got detention from McGonagall." Ginny grumbled.
Harry raised his eyebrows, "What did you do? It's only the second day of classes."
Ginny explained what happened while picking at her food.
"She was like 15 minutes late." Colin said.
Just then an owl landed at the table in front of Ginny. It was her detention notice.
Miss Weasly,
You will be serving your detention tonight at seven o'clock this evening in the Transfiguration room. Do not be late.
Prof. McGonagall
"Gin, you do remember we have Quidditch tryouts tonight, right?" Ron asked.
"Oh, crap…what time is it at?" Ginny asked biting her lip; she just had to make it to tryouts.
"They start at five o'clock. You are going to go aren't you?" Ron asked.
"Ron, she'll be late to her detention." Hermione scolded.
"I'll be there." Ginny said with a determined look on her face. "I've got to go to Charms now, I'll see you tonight."
With that Ginny and Colin left the Great Hall. On their way to Charms they met Blaise.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" Blaise asked.
"Oh it's going great, everything is just bloody fantastic!" Ginny screamed walking past Blaise.
Blaise turned with an amused look on his face, "What happened to her?"
"Detention." With that Colin ran after Ginny into their classroom.
Blaise let out a low whistle and went to join his cousin in Transfiguration.
Seeing that Draco wasn't there yet, he went to the back where the Dream Team was.
"Hey, what did Gin get detention for?" He asked curiously.
"She got stuck in that trick step on her way to Transfiguration and was late." Hermione said.
"Bummer. Wait, is she still going to tryouts?" Blaise asked.
"She said she'd be there; don't know how she's going to do it." Ron said.
"I was hoping she wouldn't, Slytherin is never going to win with her on the team." Blaise joked.
"Go back to your seat Zabini" Harry said laughing.
Just then Draco walked in. Blaise went up to his seat and sat next to his cousin.
"I don't know how you put up with them." Draco said, referring to Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Blaise laughed, "You know, they say the same thing about you."
Draco just scowled. McGonagall walked in before he could retort.
"Settle down class. Mr. Malfoy, would you please come up here." Prof. McGonagall said.
Wondering what he did, Draco walked up to the front desk.
"Mr. Malfoy, I have some errands to run, so I need you to oversee a detention for me tonight. It is at seven o'clock, I trust you will not abuse your head duties." McGonagall looked sternly at him.
"Of course not Professor." With that Draco went back to his desk.
"What did she want?" Blaise whispered as McGonagall explained the lesson.
"I'm supposed to oversee some detention tonight at seven. Who has detention on the second day of school, I don't know." Draco said.
"Oh, that's Ginny's detention." Blaise laughed at the surprised look on Draco's face.
"What'd she do?" Draco asked.
"McGonagall gave her detention for being late." Blaise explained.
Draco got a look of understanding on his face. He knew why she was late.
Blaise sent him a questioning look, but he didn't get an answer because at that moment Professor McGonagall spotted them talking.
"Mr. Malfoy Mr. Zabini, would you please stop talking. Now can either of you transform your ravens?" Prof. McGonagall asked.
Neither of them had any idea what they were suppose to transform their ravens into. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Well, I'd be more than happy to oblige, except I've no idea what we're doing." Blaise answered.
McGonagall sighed, "Ten points, each, from Slytherin. Please try to pay attention."
Shaking her head, she walked away to go check on the other students progress. Silently she wondered how she put up with those two.
"Well, go see what we're supposed to be doing Zabini." Draco said.
"Why of course your highness, is there anything else I can get for you? Maybe you'd like your feet rubbed, or some tea?" Blaise rolled his eyes as he walked to the back.
Harry, Hermione and Ron looked up to see Blaise standing in front of them.
"So, what are we suppose to be doing?" Blaise gave them all a cheeky grin.
"Well, maybe you'd know if you paid more attention." Hermione said with a smirk.
Blaise grinned, then noticing Ron and Hermione holding hands under their desk, he raised an eyebrow, "Well, well, finally asked her out Weasly? Congrats." He smirked at both Hermione and Ron blushing.
"You're supposed to be turning your ravens into top hats." Harry said.
"Why thank you, I'll just be leaving you three alone now." With that he walked back to his desk.
"What took you so long?" Draco asked.
"Just being friendly. We're supposed to be turning our ravens into top hats." Blaise said, and with the swish of his wand his raven became a purple top hat.
Finally five o'clock rolled around, and found Ginny down at the Quidditch Pitch.
Seeing Ron she walked over to him, "Hey, where's Harry?"
"Oh, he'll be out in a second."
Just as Ron said that, Harry walked out.
"Attention everyone!" He yelled. "Can you all hear me?"
All those gathered nodded their heads, looking somewhat confused.
"Good. I'm the new Gryffindor Quidditch captain. We're looking for three chasers, since all of ours graduated last year. And we need one new beater." Harry paused to chuckle silently at the look of surprise on Ginny's face. "All those trying out for chaser go with Ron, our keeper, and beaters come with me."
The crowd started separating as Ginny made her way up to Harry. He was grinning when she found him.
Punching him softly in the arm she asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Harry said grinning, "And anyway didn't I tell you not to worry? You're probably the best chaser here; I know you'll make it."
Just then Ron yelled, "Ginny! Get your arse over here if you want to play!"
"Coming!" she yelled back to Ron. "Well, I better get going. Good luck with beater tryouts, just remember to duck." Laughing she jogged away from Harry.
About an hour and a half later, Harry called a stop to tryouts.
"Thank you all for trying out, a list will be on the bulletin board in the common room tomorrow morning." Harry called.
He walked over to Ginny, who was getting off her broom. "Ron said you did great, so congrats ahead of time!" Harry said grinning.
"She was bloody amazing." Ron said coming up to them grinning.
"Yes! Thank you so much!" Ginny screamed jumping up and down. Finally, she stopped and tackled Harry and her brother in a giant hug.
Laughing they pushed her off them.
"Hey, shouldn't you be in detention now?" Ron asked frowning.
"Oh crap! Yeah, bye!" with that Ginny ran as fast as she could to the castle.
Ron and Harry looked after her shaking their heads.
"She's just like Fred and George. Wonder how much trouble she's going to get into for being late?" Ron said still shaking his head.
"She'll get there on time. I hope, at least for Gin's sake." With that both Harry and Ron started for the castle to make the list of their new team.
Ginny ran as fast as she could, all the way to the Transfiguration.
She stumbled into the classroom, an apology on the tip of her tongue, when she realized it wasn't Professor McGonagall in there- it was Draco Malfoy.
Sorry that took so long…I was half way through typing this, when I realized I should study for my exams… kinda sucked, but that's ok. Tomorrow's my last day until January. I take my last exam, Latin, tomorrow. So wish me luck!
