Ginny burst through the portrait hole pissed. I have to work with him! This is totally unfair and evil! Of all the people I have to work with a talking ferret! How…………ugh!!! Her loud entrance into the common room caused a few people to look her way but she ignored them, still caught in her thoughts. She walked over to a corner of the room where Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat doing homework. Ginny dropped her bag on the floor and sat down glaring at the floor.

"Gin what's wrong", Hermione asked when she looked up from her parchment to see Ginny glaring the floor to death. Ron, who had been sitting next to Hermione, looked up also.

"There's nothing wrong", Ginny said but her voice was flat and her stare was still directed toward the floor. Harry looked up then and gave her a worried look. The last time Ginny was this pissed a few people in Gryffindor house ended up in the Hospital wing with warts. Ginny looked up from the floor and remembered where she was.

"Come on Gin, you can tell us anything", Ron said smiling but Ginny could see the nervousness in his eyes. Ginny had to hold back her laughter as she remembered sending Ron to the Hospital wing because he kept bugging her. Poor Ron, he thinks I'll turn him into a toad……..which is not a bad idea. Ginny started to smile at the thought and that just made everyone nervous.

"Gin ummm you're really starting to scare us", Harry said slowly as he scooted his chair a bit farther away from her. Hermione rolled her eyes at the two's antics before putting down her quill and looking at Ginny.

"Gin why are you in such a foul mood", Hermione asked with a serious face on. Ginny looked at Hermione and knew that she wouldn't back down until she got an answer. Damn her and her freaking courage. That girl never gets scared of me…………I think it has to do with being around Harry and Ron for so long. Ginny let out a sigh and started to answer Hermione.

"I have to tutor a bunch of first years", Ginny said with another sigh.

"In what class", Hermione asked.

"In Potions"

"What's so bad about that", Harry asked.

"I have to do tutor four first year dorks with the Ferret", Ginny said with a voice that rang the bell of death. Ron fell off his chair and Harry was staring at her wide eyed.

"Has Snape lost his mind?! You and Malfoy……….. does he want to get you killed", Ron shouted as he tried to get up from the floor. Hermione just sat there for a few seconds as if this news was utterly shocking.

"Yes dear brother Snape has lost his mind", Ginny said as Ron sat back in his chair.

"I mean, you and Malfoy! He can hurt you or even worse send you to Voldemort. Snape must be fucking crazy! I know he's on our side but come on doesn't he have any common sense", Ron said loudly earning him a glare from the other three. Why not announce to the whole common room that Snape is helping our side, you blood moron!, Ginny thought.

"Ron can you be any louder", Harry hissed as Hermione smacked him.

"Sorry", Ron said looking embarrassed.

"Look Ron obviously Snape doesn't think Malfoy is dangerous and Snape does have enough sense to know that if he put any of us in danger Dumbledore and everyone would kill him instantly", Hermione said quietly.

"Plus, Gin can handle herself, she's proven that many times before", Harry added.

"But still, Gin I don't want that bastard of a human to mess with you. Please promise me that you will come to me if he tries to hurt you in any way", Ron said as he looked at Ginny with pleading eyes.

"Of course, but by the time you get to him I'll have already killed him", Ginny said smiling widely.

"First you get bumped up a year and now you're tutoring first years", Hermione said in awe.

"Man Ron she has more brains in her small little head then you do in that big clunky one you got on your shoulders", Harry said smiling earning him a pillow in the face.

"Shut up Harry", Ron said as Hermione and Ginny laughed.

"But still you shouldn't worry Ron, Malfoy might be an arse but Snape wouldn't endanger us. It just wouldn't be smart", Hermione said.

"The worst that ferret can do is annoy me to death", Ginny said.

"Just be careful Gin", Ron said putting an arm around her.

"I will"

"So, Herm you jealous over Gin", Harry said once he put the pillow back on the couch and walked back to the table.

"Nope, it's Malfoy even I'm not willing to work with an arse who keeps calling me mudblood every second of the day. Plus jealousy is just an emotion that's stops us from seeing things clearly", Hermione said seriously but had a smile on her face.

"Well, I hate it. I don't care if it's some great honor, it's just evil to put me with him", Ginny said.

"Just don't think about it for now, you'll deal with him when you need to but if you keep thinking about it then you're just going to be in a foul mood all day", Harry said.

"You're right. Look I'm going to go to the library. I'll see you guys later", Ginny said before standing up and gathered her things.

"Bye", the other said before Ginny disappeared up the girls' dormitory stairs.

Ginny walked into her dorm and placed her things on her bed. The dorm had brick walls and each bed was covered in red sheets and pillows in gold color. Ginny's bed was in the corner next to the door. She had some of her books stacked near her bed and her trunk was lying in front of her bed. Ginny sat on her bed and took out her homework. She stayed sitting on her bed till someone knocked on the door.

Where is it? All I need is the creator of the ruins of Death and I'll be done! Where is it?!, Ginny thought as she flipped through the pages of her Passing Through Time textbook. Ugh! I hate history, it's already happened so why need to freaking explain it. I swear, Ginny's thoughts were broken at the sound of a knock at the dorm door.

"Who is it", Ginny said loudly and the door opened. Hermione stuck her head in and smiled.

"Sorry to interrupt you're studies and all but you're going to miss dinner", Hermione said. Hermione and Ginny were best friends ever since Ginny's 5th year. Hermione still hung out with Ron and Harry but not so much as she did before.

"It's ok, let me put my things away and we'll head down to the Great Hall"

Ginny closed her book and placed it with the others. She rolled up her parchment and tied a red and gold ribbon to keep it from unraveling. Once she was done she linked her arm with Hermione's and they headed down to the Great Hall.

"You and those ribbons, I swear all of your essays don't even have to have your name on them to know they're yours", Hermione said smiling.

"Well, I think they add a girly touch to my dull essays so ha", Ginny said sticking her tongue out at Hermione.

"Don't look now Gin but ummm your worst nightmare is coming our way", Hermione said and Ginny looked in front of her to see Draco, Blaise, and Pansy walking down the other side of the corridor.

"Darn, let's just ignore them"

"Okay", Hermione replied but the plan backfired.

"Weaslette", Draco said coolly.

"Ferret", Ginny replied.

"Look before you start talking and I die from boredom, I want you to know. I will not be another girl you can push around so don't even think about trying to boss me around", Ginny continued.

"You…..a girl and for a second I thought you were a squid", Draco said as Pansy and Blaise laughed.

"At least I don't resemble a cockroach", Ginny said before she walked past him with Hermione and into the Great Hall.

"Yeah, you two will definitely kill each other by next week", Blaise said.

"Well, at least you'll be working with a pretty Gryffindor", Pansy said smiling.

"If she's pretty then Goyle has an IQ higher than a dust molecule", Draco said and they all laughed at the thought.

They entered the Great Hall like always calm and collected. No trace of laughter or smiles on their faces. They sneered at those who looked at them and shot murderous looks at those who returned them. They ate in silence and if they needed to speak it was in snide remarks. Talking was not an option in Slytherin because someone could always betray them or worst kill them.

"Ginny I seriously feel sympathy for you now", Ron said referring to the blank expressions that were placed on Draco's face.

"Same here", Harry said.

"We could pick you up after each of your sessions if you want", Hermione suggested and Ginny smiled.

"I don't think Harry wants to do that, I mean he's so busy staring at Luna that I can see drool starting to form", Ginny said and everyone near them started to laugh.

"Yeah mate you're starting to make your own lake over there", Ron said.

"Shut up, I mean I fancy her so what? She's a great girl", Harry said a bit out of it.

"Forget it we've lost him", Ginny said shaking her head. They ate their dinner making fun of Harry or talking about Quidditch. Ginny glanced up and caught Draco's eye and she received a glare. Ginny glared back before going back into conversation with Hermione.

Dinner ended and everyone headed back into their house towers. Ginny said good-bye to Hermione because Hermione had her own room since she was Head-girl. Unfortunately Draco was Head-boy and that was something Hermione complained about everyday.

Hermione entered the common room of the Head dorms to see Draco sitting on the couch.

"Malfoy"

"What do you want Granger", Draco said sighing.

"I just wanted to say, if you hurt Gin in any way I'll kill you myself and you know there isn't a spell in this world that I can't do", Hermione said coolly.

"I wouldn't dream of hurting the Weaslette that would involve touching her and quite frankly that would be my death", Draco said.

"Whatever Ferret, if she is hurt even a little bit I'll be your death and so will her brother", Hermione said.

"Weasel can't do shit. He can't even transfigure a cup into a quill", Draco said.

"I just wanted to warn you, but Ginny will hurt you even worse if you cross her"

"Granger has anyone ever told you that you have a big mouth and can never shut up"

"Has anyone ever told you that you're going to be in hell once you work with Ginny?"

"Good night Draco, don't let Pansy fuck you to death in your dreams", Hermione said smirking.

"Don't let Weasel do the same" and with that both stopped conversation and Hermione disappeared behind her dorm door.

Draco and Hermione became civil though at times they still bickered and yelled. They reached an understanding during the beginning of the year and that was if they played nice they would live to see graduation. Draco went to his room and got ready for bed. He fell asleep thinking about Ginny not knowing that as he drifted into his dreaming state he had a smile on his lips.
