Author's Note: - Here's chapter 8 so enjoy!!!!!!

Ginny and Draco both didn't know whether they should enter the Great Hall the next morning.

Ginny's POV

Draco Malfoy!!!!! Draco Malfoy!!!! He saved me!!! A Slytherin helped a Gryffindor!!! A Malfoy saved a Weasley!!!

Maybe I am just exaggerating. So what if he carried me all the way to the hospital wings maybe he didn't want to get any blame on himself. Should I seriously thank him? Wouldn't that make everyone staggered? Especially Ron!! Maybe I should talk to him today during the detention. Yeah that will help me get over my guilt and I won't have any more attention from everyone.

Draco's POV

What if she comes up to me on our table and says thanks? Damn she has to anyways to get to hers. But will she? Looking at the way I said things about her and her personal life I doubt it. O God Weasley what have you got me into? You're even worse than your brother!

Ginny and Draco had settled themselves into the Hall and began breakfast when as usual the owls began to pour in and drop letters on top of people's cereals. Ginny had no surprise when one landed in front of her. She knew this was going to happen for 5 more days. She opened the parchment and saw Professor McGonagall's short and cursive writing.

Ginny,

You shall be going to Professor Snape's class today after all your lessons as he mentioned to me some work that you and Mr.Malfoy might be able to do for him.

Professor McGonagall

Ginny folded the parchment and put it back on the table. She quickly took a glance at Draco who had already finished reading and seemed to be concentrating on his breakfast.

The whole day seemed a drag to both Ginny and Draco while she was keeping her efforts of not dozing off in Mr.Flitwicks class, Draco was trying to amuse himself by trying to pick on Neville during Potions.

After what seemed hours and hours, Ginny dreaded to hit Malfoy every second when she was heading towards the dungeons. Professor Snape. Great, he's Slytherin head, he favours Malfoy and he hates my brother, Harry and Hermione. Somehow this detention isn't going to be nice but at least it's going to be better than the last one.

Ginny stepped into the classroom and looked inside to find Draco busy clearing up his potion ingredients that he had. His robe was taken off and placed on the stool on which was his bag. Draco didn't realise Ginny had come in so he didn't look up when she entered the classroom and sat down on one of the stools at the other side of the classroom to where he was working. She noticed that one of the reasons Professor Snape favoured Draco could be because she could see that he enjoyed potions.

He had his sleeves rolled up, so that the potion wouldn't get on his shirt, he seemed to be tired because Draco slowly closed his eyes and breathed deeply. Suddenly he opened his eyes and turned around to see Ginny staring at him and suddenly flinched when he looked at her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing coming in slyly and gaping at me like that?!"

Ginny who had lost concentration completely found her tongue and replied back.

"I didn't come in slyly, you were too busy daydreaming and I wasn't gaping at you I was just waiting for Professor Snape to turn up"

"Well then Miss Weasley I hope I didn't make you wait too long."

Professor Snape entered the classroom just in time to stop another argument rising up.

"Tell me Miss Weasley have you too been as badly influenced by your brother and his nosey friends to make go two steps ahead of them and physically attack on of my house students.

'Oh great!' Ginny thought to herself. 'Here comes another lecture about my brothers, what rebels we are and how we are a bad influence to the school and how we should be expelled'

"Such behaviour from you students is a bad influence to the school I would expel students who would ever try to take such actions. But the matter wasn't in my hands unfortunately; therefore I can only give in a harsh punishment. Both of you will be given different tasks. Miss Weasley you will have to go into my store cupboard and remove the ingredients that I will tell you to. Some of them are harmful so you better be cautious as I will not accept any carelessness. Once you have you shall put them in the beakers that are empty in the cupboard above the shelves by my desk."

He then turned to Malfoy and told him "Mr.Malfoy if you want you may supervise or just re-check what Miss Weasley as I am not sure of how capable she is of doing this right."

Ginny just stared at Professor Snape not believing how wretched he could get. I have to handle all the potions, make sure that they are kept properly and he lets Malfoy just supervise!!! Well I'll do exactly what I want after he's left I do not need any supervision from anyone.

Malfoy just smirked at Ginny as the Professor Snape passed him out of the classroom.

"C'mon Weasley get to work"

Ginny couldn't do much but scowl. She stood up and walked up to the shelves to remove the jars that were empty. She quickly scanned the names on them and went inside the store cupboard to get the ingredients out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ginny had almost finished all of the jars and was busy pouring out a potion into one the jars when suddenly Malfoy started whistling loudly.

"Malfoy will you cut it out!"

"No."

He started whistling even more loudly and started striding across the room towards her.

"You better be quick with that Weasley, I don't want to waste any more of my precious time around you."

Ginny smirked and decided to take her own sweet time because she knew that the longer she took the longer the detention. After seeing her expression and watching her pouring the potion in little by little, Draco started to get frustrated and tried to snatch the bottle out of her hand.

"O just give it here Weasley!"

Not knowing Malfoy was about to do that Ginny accidentally let slip out of her hand and more than half of the potion went over his hands causing him to hiss in pain.

Ginny eyes went wide and she quickly looked at the jar which was labelled

"Fernium." Ginny read it out aloud

"What!" Draco asked her with a painful look

Ginny looked down at his hand which was starting to crack up his skin and at the very moment she could see the blood coming out of his palm. For the first time Ginny could see a tense expression on Malfoy's face.

"Come on; let's get you to Madam Pomfrey. She'll fix this up."

Authours Note:- Yes I know its been quite a while I have Chap 9 coming into my head which will be longer and probably show Ginny and Draco becoming good friends so till then.. . . Keep Reviewing!
