Chapter 13 (Red Faced and Gone)

Blaise slowed to a stop and let Ginny off the broom. He jumped off and took his broom to the shed with Ginny on his heels. He turned around after he finished, only to get pulled into a deep kiss from a certain red headed beauty.

Surprised at first, but soon his resistance was gone. A whimper of disappointment was heard when she pulled away for air.

"What was that for?" Blaise asked with a surprising amount of innocent.

"What, Never been on the receiving end." Ginny mouth turned to a semi-smile with a smirk mixed in. She turned and made the same exit she had made in the Great Hall.

As soon as Blaise snapped out of his hypnosis, he ran after her; Careful not to run up behind her again. He jogged until he stood next to her and grabbed her hand.

"Wait…please."

Ginny's head turned and her feet stopped in place. "Yes?" Curiosity was getting the best of her but she never expected what was next.

"Look, I know I am a Slytherin and you're a Gryffindor but, well..." Blaise seemed to stutter and this wasn't like him.

"Yes?" Ginny sent him a warm smile that gave him the courage to finish what he was saying.

"Would you go out with me?" Blaise managed before fading off. (A/N: I know it's corny and OOC but I'm sorry. I think it is cute so it will happen this way. Don't hurt the author.)

Ginny smiled and acted like she had to think about it. As soon as she saw the light in his eyes start to dim she grabbed his shirt and pulled him into a sweet kiss. He was surprised but soon opened his mouth to let her in. Their tongues fought for dominance and both felt like this was heaven. Each explored the other's mouth. There was nothing they couldn't feel. She felt Blaise moan in her mouth and she pulled back with a smirk on her face that would make even Malfoy proud.

"How's that for an answer?" She grinned slyly and turned to face her new boyfriend.

He smiled but she could here a slight murmur under his breath.

"What is it?" Hoping it wasn't her that had caused his rapid change of mood.

"Oh, nothing. I am supposed to meet Draco in about 10 minutes or he'll have my hide."

"Oh."

"I think I'll skip. I have better things to do." Blaise paused and looked deep in to her eyes. "I mean, it can't be that hard to avoid him until I graduate." Blaise gave a little laugh but it only contained angst.

"No, go meet him. I'll be around when you get back. You know where to find me."

"Wh…" Blaise started but was shushed when she put a finger to his lips. Ginny leaned in close to his ear and muttered a little something for Blaise to ponder. Her breath was warm and tickled him, sending shivers through his body.

Without another word, she turned and left Blaise standing there, smiling like an idiot. Soon he snapped out of it and ran as if Fluffy was chasing him. (A/N: RUN BLAISE RUN…..hehe….man I love the movie that is from.)

"You're late." An icy voice stepped out of the shadows of the empty potions classroom.

"I know. I, uh,got held up." Blaise stammered out. He was unable to think of an excuse.

"Whatever. I know what you were doing. What has gotten into you? Going soft for Weasel's sister, are you." The way Draco said it was so cold and full of what seemed like hurt. But that couldn't be jealousy. Could it?

"Look who's talking Draco. Is that Jealousy I hear?" Blaise smirked as Draco's eyes went wide and then calmed and his trademark smirk was present once more.

"Don't flatter yourself Zabini. I got better things to do that go after you."

"Oh yes, Like chasing after Potter."

Draco's grey blue eyes flashed anger and Blaise knew he had struck a nerve. But there was no turning back so he just kept at it.

"Hit a nerve, did I? What's the matter? Want the one thing that you can't have?"

Draco laughed. He actually laughed at the comment. Mind you, it was an icy, cold laugh that contained only mockery but it was laughter.

"I do believe you have lost your mind."

Blaise relaxed a little at Draco's sudden 'sense of humor'. He knew he would be in for it later because Draco never forgot. For now though, He was safe.

Blaise and Draco parted ways later that night, just before dinner. Blaise went down to dinner early to see if he could find Ginny. He had been waiting for several minutes when the other students started to arrive. He watched for her but she never showed.

Blaise was slightly worried and was the last student sitting in the Great Hall. He stood up from the table and felt warm hands slide around his waist.

"Where were you?" He whispered gently, knowing exactly who it was.

"Come with me and I'll make it up to you." They walked out of the Great Hall and down some of the back hallways that the Slytherin had discovered years before. They found a quiet, hidden little spot and decided it would be perfect.

He sat down, with his back against the wall, as she sunk into his lap.

"You know we're going to have to hide this, right?" She spoke quietly and each word rang out in sadness.

"Why?" Blaise rested his head on top of hers as she nestled into the crook of his neck. "Does it really matter what other people think?"

"No, but..." She never finished her sentence. He had lifted her head so their eyes met and caressed her cheek with his thumb. She felt safe in his arms. She put up no more fight. She knew in the end that it would work out.

Both of them sat content for the longest time until it was dark out. Both of them figured it was past curfew and knew they should back to curfew before questions got asked but it didn't matter much.

Finally, she got to her feet and turned to him as he got to his feet.

"I guess we better go before everyone starts to talk."

"Ya, we can give them somethin to talk about tomorrow." Ginny giggled at the comment. "Meet at the Quidditch pitch tomorrow an hour before breakfast."

"Ok."

Slinking into the darkness, they let go each others' hands and disappeared along the empty corridors to their separate common rooms.

'Nunquam Perdo Spes'(A/N: For all of you who don't know Latin that means 'Never Lose Hope'.) The portrait of the fat lady eased open and Ginny stepped in hoping to find an empty common room. No such luck.

Hermione and Ron were sitting in front of the fire, on the couch, sleeping. She rested peacefully on his lap as his hand rested on her back and Ron's legs stretched out the length of the couch.

'Oh, how wrong this looks.' Ginny thought. She decided to have a little fun and took a picture of the two napping. Then she slipped off to bed without another word to anyone.

Ginny jumped out of bed early, like she had promised, showered, and hurried down to the Pitch. She was about a half an hour early and much to her surprise, and joy, Blaise was around and flying on his broom. He seemed to be lost in the thrill of flying. Something she knew all too well. Ginny figured she would just watch him fly and took a seat on the stands.

It wasn't long before Blaise came over to join her. He put his broom back in the shed and sat next to her, enveloping her in a tender kiss.

When the need for air was too great, they pulled away and just stared out at the light snow fall coming down.

"What did you have in mind when you said to meet here?" Ginny laughed. She knew he had something up his sleeves.

"Is it wrong that I wanted to see you first thing? Well that and the fact that I wanted you and I to walk into the Great Hall together."

A feeling of fear washed over Ginny. 'Am I ready for this? Do I want people to know? What will everyone say?' She shook all these thoughts from her head. She deserved happiness no matter who it was with or what people thought. She regained her smile and nodded. A slightly confused Blaise suddenly realized her approval and nearly jumped for joy.

"Well, shall we go?"

"Yes."

Together, holding hands, they were last to enter the Great Hall. Every eye was on them but neither paid any attention. She gripped him harder but kept moving. They stopped in order to go to their house tables and he whispered a soft something in her ear.

'Don't let them mess with you. They'll have to deal with me.' At that, they separated, went to the tables, and life resumed. Everyone now had something to talk about.

She took her seat next to Harry as he gave her a slightly confused look. Hermione, on the other hand, was disappointed and Ron was still recovering from nearly choking on his breakfast.

"What the Hell are you doing Ginny?" Ron spat at her. His face contorted with disgust.

"What do you mean?" She said in an overly innocent tone.

"How could you go with him, a Slytherin of all people." Ginny just stared at her brother.

"I like him. That's why."

"I forbid you."

"Try it."

"Ginny, no, this is wrong for so many reasons."

"I really don't care what you think."

Fighting could be heard from both the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables. Blaise and Ginny were taking it from those close to them and could've cared less what anyone thought. But an eerie silence was cast when Ron and Draco's voices matched and rang out in unison.

"You'll regret ever doing this."
