Chapter 3

Fortunately for her Snape had not arrived yet. She slowly opened the door and she could tell that most of the people in the room were staring at her back. The minute she closed the door Snape entered from his office. He just ignored her for a couple minutes while he was rearranging things on his desk. Then he walked over to the door and brought Ginny to the middle of the class with him.

" This boys and girls is a new student in this class. She has moved up from the 6th year potions because it was not challenging enough for her," he said, his voice dripping with venom.

" Please take your seat, Ginny." He said her name as if it was a deadly curse. Ginny looked around the room for and open seat, preferably next to a Gryffindor. Just like it ought to be there was only one seat left in the room and it just happened to be next to the person she hated the most (no its not her brother). "This must be my lucky day, but he has got some great quidditch muscles," she thought as she sat down next to Draco Malfoy. " Wait where did THAT come from," she thought, " Well, I can find a new seat this afternoon." Just as she had thought that, Snape started off his lecture by saying this,

"This as you know is 7th grade potions and I will not bother giving you partners since you have already chosen them."

" The people your are sitting next to will be your partner for the rest of the year unless I must assign new partners, which better not happen."

As he ended a look of horror had spread across Ginny's face. Of course Draco had on his normal smirk and was thinking, "This is going to be a fun year, considering Weasley looks hot, Wait did I just think that!?"
The rest of the class period went about as bad as anyone could have predicted, but Ginny was lucky enough to escape without detention. "Phew at least that's over, but I still have to face another round of Snape AND Malfoy," she thought. "Boy does Malfoy look good this year though, wait snap out of it Ginny," she thought while smacking herself in the forehead.

Just then Ron came up to Ginny and asked, "What was that all about!"

" Ron, if you would just calm down then maybe I could explain," Ginny said about as politely as she could even though she was completely furious at her brother on the inside.

"Fine," he said, "Now why are you in our level potions class?"

"Didn't Snape already explain that, the other class was to easy for me."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

" I just forgot about it after the letter came and told me that I was moving up."

"Well, okay fine, but if you would have told me earlier then I would have saved you a spot next to Hermione."

"Oh well, I'll guess I'll just have to live with it."

" Ginny do you ever expect him to be nice to you!?!?"

" Well, I can be very persuasive at times," she said in what sounded like a seductive tone.
