A/N: Hey everyone! Well I have been typing a new chapter every night to my four stories I have on FanFiction. So I hope you are happy about that, because I return to school on the 25th of this month and I have to seriously buckle down and work hard this year. So I might not be updating as much as usual.

DISCLAIMER: If all of Harry Potter were mine I would intend on knowing Tom Felton really well (mind above the waist readers) but seeing as I don't know him, well it obviously means that (cries) I don't own Harry Potter in any way!

Chapter Five: The Plan

Blaise hummed as he walked up the boy's dorm staircase to the room he shared with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. The two dummies were snoring away while Draco was looking at his reflection in the mirror. The bruise around his eye had darkened and his lower lip was swollen giving him a look much like a monkey.

Draco looked at Blaise and glared at him before walking to his bed and climbing in. Blaise rolled his eyes as Draco rolled on his side his back to Blaise.

Blaise walked to his bed and grabbed his boxers and singlet and left the room for the bathroom at the stop of the staircase.

Once Blaise was showered and dressed he returned to his dorm (again Draco was checking himself out) and climbed into bed and was asleep instantly.

The morning came bringing Sunday to be a glorious and bright one. Blaise slept late, which was something he never did. But when he woke he found a school barn owl waiting for him patiently. When Blaise sat up the Owl dropped the letter on his lap and flew out the window.

Slightly groggy Blaise opened the letter and made himself focus on the words until they became clearer.

Blaise,

You have been cut from the Quidditch Team. Return your Uniform to the Slytherin Change Room A.SA.P.

Captain,

Draco Malfoy.

All the grogginess left Blaise instantly as he climbed out of bed. He walked to his personal dresser and pulled out a pair of green cargoes and a white polo shirt, which had cost his mother forty galleons. He slipped on his skegs, brushed his hair and teeth in the bathroom and went straight to the one person who he knew could help him.

He hoped.

!G!

Ginny entered the Library with more homework than she could manage. But somehow she did. Sure she wasn't as paced out as Hermione was, but unlike her brother, Ginny handed her work in properly done, without help.

Speaking of her annoying brother, Ginny hadn't seen him since dinner the night before. Both had barely spoken a word to each other, if you ignored the 'pass the beans' or, 'pass me some pumpkin juice.' Ginny was beginning to think Ron was actually backing off.

But no. Just as Ginny was opening a text book Ron walked in, straight towards her. In his hand he held an envelope.

"Ginny… I owled Mum again last night," said Ron.

"What about now?" sighed Ginny as Ron sat in front of her.

"Well about your attitude lately. I've put it down to being around Malfoy's friend too much, you know… Zabini."

"His name is Blaise."

"I don't care what his name is. Look Mum has asked me to request to Dumbledore a partner change for you. She thinks it's for the best."

Ginny's breathing started to come in short angry breaths. She stood up quickly, knocking her chair over behind her. Ron watched in alarm as Ginny stuffed her stuff back in her carry bag and walked out of the Library, so fast he had to run to keep up with her.

"Ginny hear me out!" pleaded Ron as they entered the corridor towards the Entrance Hall.

"No," replied Ginny shortly.

"You have to listen to me."

"I do not have to listen to a word that comes out of your mouth."

Ron grabbed her arm and spun her around with such force that Ginny nearly fell.

"Yes you do. Look ever si-"

"No Ron! Think! I have been like this BEFORE I began patrolling with Blaise! You just need to back off and leave me alone! I am 16 years of age. I'm not a silly 11 year old who is gullible enough to believe someone in a book cares about me! I'm my own person and I am sick of you stopping me from being me! You have no idea what it is like to be called 'Ron's Sister' all the time do you?"

Ron just groaned, "Do you have to repeat this saga over and over again? You are only a girl Ginny."

Ginny slapped Ron hard across the face and turned and walked away. She quickly spun back around and walked back to Ron and grabbed the letter from his hand, "You can't change who I am partnered with. McGonagall has said decisions are final."

!B!

Blaise knocked twice on the door before him. When he heard the reply to enter he opened the office door and walked in, still clutching the letter in his hand with such anger he almost put holes through the parchment.

"Blaise," said Snape, "What brings you to my office?"

Blaise handed Snape the letter, who read it over and looked at Blaise frowning.

"Do you have a report stating the reason why you have been cut?" asked Snape.

"No. I just got the letter a few minutes ago. There is no reason! I haven't done anything to have this happen. I'm the best damn keeper our House has seen in decades!"

"Calm down Mr Zabini. I shall have Draco come talk to me and we will straighten this out. Do not hand in your uniform."

"I wasn't planning too. No doubt his father will be brought into this."

"Than I shall bring the Head Master in myself."

Blaise nodded, "Thankyou Professor."

Snape nodded and Blaise left, still seething with rage. If Draco came anywhere near him, he would be looking even more like a bloody mess then he did yesterday.

!G!

Ginny walked across the school grounds. Her temper had cooled to a controllable temperature, but she knew if Ron came near her… well… he would finally know what it was like to be at the wrong end of Ginny's wand.

"Ginny!"

Ginny spun around and smiled when she saw Hermione and Harry jogging towards her. Something was going on between those two. Ginny knew it, for starters they were always together more than normal and she'd seen the small smiles between them at dinner last night.

"Hey you two," said Ginny, " Gone for a stroll?"

"Yeah," replied Harry, "It's a nice day you know."

Ginny nodded, "Without Ron?"

"He had stuff too do," said Hermione.

"Yeah like come see me."

"He did?"

Ginny nodded and recounted the story to Hermione and Harry. Both listened quietly, taking it all in.

"Well," said Hermione, "Ron can't change your partner unless the circumstances are extreme, like if Blaise were hurting you in anyway. Which I know he's not."

"Blaise is a nice guy too," said Ginny, "He's nothing like Malfoy."

"Which is surprising," commented Harry, "Nothing against Zabini or anything, but you would figure he'd be like Malfoy."

"Just like people think I'm a female Ron Weasley."

"You hate it don't you?"

Ginny nodded, "People think you know, she's Ron's sister, so that must mean she is exactly like him, that she is, stupid, say's stupid things, hands in half done papers. But how do you explain all that to Ron when he won't even listen?"

Harry had an evil glint in his eye and a small smile on his face. Hermione was the first to notice it.

"Harry," said Hermione slowly, "What are you smiling for?"

"Ginny, I have the best idea to make Ron back off."

"Huh?" replied Ginny.

The three stopped walking as Hermione and Ginny focused on Harry.

"You need to full on rebel against him… but we need Zabini for this. You patrol with him tonight don't you?" asked Harry.

Ginny nodded.

"Right. Well…"

Harry started rattling on about what he had in his mind. As he spoke Ginny and Hermione both grew identical smiles.

!B!

Blaise sat in the Great Hall looking at his barely touched food. Why did he dish himself up pancakes when he wasn't even hungry? He didn't know.

With a heavy sigh he pushed the plate away from him and stood to leave when in walked Draco with

Crabbe and Goyle on either side. Upon his face, Draco wore the largest smug grin when he looked at Blaise. The seething rage that Blaise had thought died down suddenly hit its peak again. Instead of diving over the table, which Blaise was considering to do, he walked around and muttered two spells to glue Crabbe and Goyle to where they stood.

"Well if it isn't the ex-keeper himself," smirked Draco when Blaise was right in front of him.

Blaise gave two short laughs before slamming his fist into Draco's face. The cocky Slytherin fell backwards onto the ground and Blaise kneeled over him. Crabbe and Goyle were swinging wildly from where they were stuck but kept hitting themselves.

A crowed was growing around the four as they watched Blaise and Draco.

"You think you are so bloody good don't you?" sneered Blaise, "I went to Snape. You don't have a proper reason to kick me off the team, or a report. Snape is going to be talking to you soon. He also said if you bring you father into it he will bring Dumbledore in himself."

Draco snarled at Blaise and tried to hit him but Blaise grabbed Draco's wrist to stop him.

"Don't even think about it you wimp."

Blaise stood up stood up, kicking Draco in the ribs before walking out of the Great Hall. Just as he was rounding a corner someone grabbed him by the robe. Blaise spun around and saw McGonagall glaring at him.

"To my office, immediately!" she said outraged.

Blaise resisted the urge to roll his eyes and walked behind the head of Gryffindor. Just as he was passing through the Entrance Hall he saw Ginny with Hermione and Harry. All three looked at him and quickly began talking quietly.

McGonagall sat at her desk looking at Blaise sternly. Here nostrils were flared with anger and her fingernails were drumming across the desk, obviously wondering where to start.

"Well," she said calmly, "I see you and Mr Malfoy are having a hard time."

"No Professor I just realized I don't need a jerk like him as a friend," replied Blaise, "Look he is trying to kick me from the Quidditch team for no reason. Yesterday him and I had another fight and I know a Head Boy should never behave like that and I promise I won't act like that again. From now on all matters of mine will be conducted in a civil manner."

"I see. But as punishment your patrol hours will be increased by two more hours, you will also be deducted twenty house points and are being issued your first warning."

"But Professor, why should Ginny pay for my actions by increased patrol length?"

"Oh no, you will patrolling by yourself for two hours. Miss Weasley has done nothing to have her patrol shift lengthened."

Blaise nodded, "I understand."

"Good. You may go Mr Zabini. And thankyou for settling this in a mature manner."

Blaise nodded and left the office feeling relieved that he wasn't stripped of his badge.

!G!

"How can we be sure he will go through with it?" asked Ginny worriedly as her, Hermione and Harry walked towards Gryffindor tower, "I mean none of us know him personally."

"You patrol with him Ginny… bring it up casually," said Harry.

"I don't know…"

Hermione put an arm around Ginny and gave her a friendly half hug, "It will work out. You want this to happen and it will."

"Exactly," said Harry, "He will agree."

"And I'll be killed," moaned Ginny, "I can't do it!"

Harry and Hermione sighed in unison. Ginny stared at the ground and bit her lower lip. She started walking faster, breaking away from Harry and Hermione who called out to her. Ginny sped up even more but came to a stop as she crashed into something or someone and fell back on the ground hard.

"Gee Weasel," came a sneering voice, "No need to prove to me you are a klutz."

Ginny looked up to see a smirking Draco Malfoy. Harry and Hermione ran up to Ginny and helped her up.

"Well at least I can actually fight… unlike you," replied Ginny. She knew the come back was lame, but also knew it would hit a Malfoy nerve.

"Shut up Weaselette."

"Can't you handle the truth? I mean look at you. Blaise sure made a masterpiece out of you."

Malfoy glared at Ginny before clicking his fingers, which made Crabbe and Goyle step forward, both cracking their knuckles.

"What scared of a girl Malfoy?" taunted Hermione, "A ferret who is afraid of girls… yet most girls at this school adore him."

"Ironic isn't it?" said Harry with a sigh, "Come on Gin. You'd best leave him alone before he wets his pants in fear."

The three Gryffindor's all walked away with smirks on their faces.

Malfoy looked around at the other smirking students, with a glare on his face.

"What are you all looking at? Get going you brats!" he snapped.

"MR MALFOY!" came Snape's booming voice, "To my office now!"

!B!

The rest of the day seemed to breeze past for all at Hogwarts. Blaise spent the rest of his doing Homework and wandering around the school, which was one of his favourite past times.

Ginny spent hers mulling Harry's plan over in her mind. Would she find the oh so famous Gryffindor courage to ask him? She didn't know, but tonight would revel whether she would or not.

Blaise sat at the Slytherin table slowly making is way through his slice of Shephards Pie, chips with gravy. Not your healthiest meal, but Blaise rarely ate anything unhealthy. His family had brought him up to eat healthy always.

"Zabini, tell your Gryffindor whore to watch her back, you got me?"

Blaise looked up frowning and his eyes locked with cold grey ones.

"What do you mean my Gryffindor whore?" replied Blaise coolly.

"The Weaselette. I know you are shagging her Zabini."

"Whatever Malfoy. Your threats are worth less then the dirt on the soles of my shoes."

Malfoy glared at Blaise before returning to brag to Crabbe and Goyle about how much his hair products cost.

Blaise rolled is eyes at the vain Slytherin and looked over at the Gryffindor table. He spotted Ginny eating and nodding at what that Longbottom boy was going on about. She looked up and met Blaise's gaze. Blaise nodded at her, which Ginny returned and both hurriedly turned back to their meals.

!G!B!

Ginny waved a bye to Hermione, Harry and Neville before exiting the Gryffindor tower. She hadn't seen Ron since their argument earlier that day. It was now ten to nine and her patrol shit would start in ten minutes. Ginny reached the staircase and prayed in her mind they wouldn't misbehave on her and decide to change. Luckily for Ginny the stairs where in a good mood. Once off them she ran through the corridors, down the Entrance Hall steps and waited, catching her breath for Blaise to arrive.

Blaise trotted up the stairs and into the Entrance Hall. He spotted Ginny leaning against a wall breathing hard.

"Did you run here?" he asked startling her.

Ginny nodded, "If I didn't… I would be late."

Blaise gave a nod of understanding, "How has your day been?"

"Could've been better. Yours?"

"Same. I suppose you know about the fight Draco and I had?"

"Actually no. All I saw was you being escorted to McGonagall's office."

"Well to put it short, he is trying to get me kicked off the Quidditch team, I got mad and decided to kick his arse again. I did but McGonagall caught me and I am lucky to still be Head Boy."

"Yes well I had a few words to say to him today as well. So did Hermione and Harry."

"About that… Malfoy is after you. He said to watch your back."

At the moment the two prefects on duty arrived and gave them details of what to do. After they left Ginny and Blaise began the rounds.

"I'm not scared of Malfoy. What is there to be scared of?"

"Well nothing… really."

They both fell into a lapse of silence. Blaise was brewing and needed to spill is annoyance of Malfoy to someone.

"He thinks he's so bloody good. He's nothing but a spoilt, snooty little brat! Sure his father has millions of galleons to splash around on anything Malfoy wants, but that doesn't mean he can push me into the dark. I do have an actual name, not that anyone would know it of course. Who am I? Oh that's right, Malfoy's friend."

Ginny bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

"Sorry," said Blaise sincerely when he saw Ginny's face, "I didn't mean to burst like that."

"No, no it's okay. I know what its like… which is why I have a proposition for you if you are interested."

"Shoot."

"Okay. I know this sounds incredibly crazy. But it was Harry's idea. How about you and me… fake that we are going out?"

"What?"

"Look! Hear me out. We both hate how people call us Malfoy's friend or Weasley's sister… maybe this is the key to both our troubles… like killing two birds with one stone kinda thing. All we have to do is act like a lovey dovey couple to the school, you know… hold hands that sorta thing. Than during patrol we don't have too."

Blaise mulled the thought over in his mind as they walked along. He didn't hate Ginny, but he didn't have a major crush on her. Though he did think she was a pretty young women and she did have a great personality and maybe this was the answer. Slytherin and Gryffindor dating was breaking all the 'rules' of there schools society.

If Blaise did this he would be finally known as Blaise Zabini. And Ginny would be known by her real name, something the both of them have wanted for years.

Blaise finally smiled and looked at Ginny, "Alright. I'll do it."

Ginny grinned back, "Cool. This is going to rock the school."

"They won't know what has hit them."

The two both chuckled and continued walking and chatting about their new deal.

A/N: Well… there we go. Another chapter… now I have to tell you all something. I am changing the title to this story. The next time I update it will be called: MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

So keep an eye out for that name now.

Review!

Love yas!
