HELLO,

I apologize for the last chapter that was the writers block chapter but I think I'm over it. You tell me?

AngelSerpent91- Me? Changes? What ever could you mean? Smiles evilly

entrancer- No I'm not killing Ron, sorry. Yes the last Chappie was dull I didn't really like it either. So here's another I hope I did better.

deaths-confidant- Before I reply I just have to say, very kool name you have there I love it. Yes I did mean snogging I know it's odd but shagging was to serious, and he wasn't really calling her name it was more of talking to her and calling her Gabrielle.

jewels03- Writing cliffhangers is fun, reading them not so much. I know how you feel I hate them.

Toes of the Tickled Kind- no, no shovels.

little-munchkin-poo- Interesting I want to hit him too. But he'll get his wait till Blaise finds out.

blacksapphire136- I think this Chappie answers your question. Love your name.

I love reviews they give me a warm happy feeling, keep them coming and I'll keep the Chappies coming, Deal?


Chapter 11.- A little something owed.

It had spread slower than Ginny had expected and that was good. The less it spread the less Blaise knew. Therefore the less Gabrielle was troubled by idiots who blamed her.

Yes there were people like that. Gabrielle had spent about half of her second year at Hogwarts in the Slytherin Dungeons because a couple of third and second year girls were angry at her. According to the rumors she had slept with their boyfriends and they had wanted revenge.

Draco had put an end to that, but no one really knows how and Ginny was sure she didn't want to know but from then on anytime a guy had a crush on her. Everyone acted as though it was her fault and they would pick on her. (Kids can be so cruel . . . and stupid)

So imagine what would happen when they think she's cheating on Blaise with her best friend's brother and her other best friend's boyfriend. Oh the scandal.

Ginny walked toward her Arithmancy class humming to herself thinking of nothing at all. She turned the corner when someone called her name. She turned and watched Gabrielle run toward her.

"Gin!" she yelled when she was next to Ginny.

"Yes!" Ginny yelled back mockingly.

"What is my favourite Diva doing over the Christmas?"

"Home, Family, food."

"I'm changing your plans."

"Why? To what?"

"You're coming home with me."

Ginny was silent.

"Good no argument that was what I was hoping for and before you ask you have never been to my house and . . . well . . . I just really want you there."

Ginny nodded. "Of course I'll come by why now?"

"What do you mean now?"

"Why now I've known you since we were 11."

"Yeah I know but I didn't think you would ever want to come I mean all it is, are parties, parties, parties and I am the only girl and I didn't want to put you through that."

"Of course why would you want your single friend through wall to wall male parties."

Gabrielle blinked. "Well when you say it like that it sounds mean."

Ginny laughed. "Never mind Gabrielle I'll come."

"Thank you." Gabrielle hugged Ginny and pulled away she blinked her purpling eyes.

"Gabrielle, aren't your eyes hazel?"

She nodded.

"Then why are they purple?"

Gabrielle blinked several times her mouth slightly open then she shrugged. "I was practicing colour changing charms and well I was bored-" she stopped suddenly. "Shit." She turned and was about to run off again before she stopped.

"Bye Gin, I need to go find Blaise before he sees a mirror. Bye." With that she ran down the hall toward the dungeons. Ginny shook her head.


Two days later

Ron sat in the common room reading his charms book when Ginny entered with a pile of books and a letter propped precariously on top. He got up removing a few volumes from his sisters arms she nodded but said nothing.

"Come on Gin," he pleaded. "I said sorry."

Ginny sighed, "Ron, your apologizing to the wrong person"

"I know but she's not talking to me."

"And if I was her I wouldn't be either." She rested the books on a nearby desk.

"I know." He sat down dropping the books by his feet. He sighed and rested his head in his hands.

Ginny shrugged and sat down. She began reading one of the many books she had brought back. Ron's eyes fluttered over to the letter on top of the book. He picked it up and looked it over.

"Gin what's this?"

She looked up. "Oh it's a letter I got from mum and dad."

"I can see that but why does it say that your spending the Christmas at Gabrielle's?"

Ginny looked him dead in the eye. "Now Ron this could get complicated but if you get lost tell me and I'll go over it, ok? I'm spending . . . the Christmas . . . At Gabrielle's."

Ron looked her. "No, you're not."

Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"You're not going Gin."

"I'm not what?"

"You're not going" he stood towering over gin."

"And why is that Ronald?"

"Because Gabrielle, she... she's bad news."

"For whom Ron, me or you"

"Both."

"I'm sorry, but I don't plan to be calling her name out inside of my girlfriends anytime soon so maybe just maybe your wrong." Ginny got up.

"Gin I said No. I forbid it."

"And you are?" Ginny pushed past him.

Ron grabbed her upper arm and twisted her to face him. "Your brother."

"So what?" Ginny spat.

"Ginny your not going Gabrielle is nothing but trouble. She'll turn you against us and then drag you down with her and all her little Slytherin friends."

Ginny's eyes flicked past Ron toward the door. Ron turned ad faced Gabrielle. She had no expression, what so ever on her face. She shook her head and opened her mouth to say something but instead she simply shook her head and left again. Ginny hauled her arm from her brother's grip and went after her friend.

Gabrielle had cleared about half the school by the time Ginny caught up with her.

"Gabrielle wait." She called.

Gabrielle just shook her head.

"Please stop."

"No."

"Come on Gabrielle it's Ginny talking please."

Gabrielle stopped but didn't turn around or look at Ginny. Ginny approached her friend and rested a hand on her shoulder.

"Look Gab-"

"Gin you better get back I wouldn't want to Drag you down with me." She said coldly.

"Gabs Ron's a jackass, I don't think that."

Gabrielle sighed. "I know you don't Gin but . . . Look its ok, go home for Christmas. It's not important."

Gabrielle turned and began walking off but Ginny caught up with her.

"What?"

"Don't bother if it causes this much trouble just to get you there, there is no point."

"No point to what?"

Gabrielle stopped and faced Gin. "It's my engagement party and I wanted to ask you to be the maid of honor so. . . I kind of wanted you there for the whole thing but it's not important so don't bother, I'd hate to come between family." She turned to walk off again.

Ginny's eyes widen. "You wanted me to be the maid of honor?"

Gabrielle nodded.

Ginny smiled wrapping her arms around her friend. "Of course I will, and screw Ron I'm going home with you."

Gabrielle smiled. "Thanks Gin."


Gabrielle, Blaise and Draco waited at the Hogsmeade station for Ginny. Draco checked his watch.

"She's late." He said for the umpteenth time.

"No shit sherlock." Gabrielle muttered. Blaise slipped his hand around her and she rested her head against him.

"Maybe we should start getting on the trains gonna leave soon?"

Gabrielle sighed and nodded. Blaise let her go. He and Draco turned to get on the Train. As they did that they Heard Gabrielle from behind Them.

"Finally!" they turned to see Ginny walking down only to be trailed by Ron. Her face was set and Ron was talking at her ear. She looked at Gabrielle and looked at Ron in indication.

Gabrielle shook her head and approached the two. "Come on Gin, we're going to be late." she said completely ignoring Ron.

Draco and Blaise approached taking Ginny's stuff and walking back over to the train and boarding.

"Wait a minute, you're going to spend the Christmas with Malfoy." Ron said watch Draco and Blaise's forms disappear onto the locomotive.

"Yes Ron Draco will be there too." Ginny said through gritted teeth.

"Gin why are we still standing here, the train is about to leave." Gabrielle said again ignoring Ron's presence.

"Coming," Ginny set off to follow her friend who had turned and begun to walk away. Ron grabbed her back.

"Gin I don't want you going."

"Well that is just too bad." Ginny pulled his hand off of her upper arm and followed Gabrielle onto the Train.


The four companions sat in their own compartment, Gabrielle laying lazily across Blaise's lap as he read the January issue of Quidditch Illustrated. (Keep in mind it's December). Gabrielle shuffled to look up at Draco.

"So blondie what do you want for your birthday?" She asked him. Draco lowered his book and looked at his friend.

"You to stop calling me blondie." he said stiffly.

"Not going to happen try again."

Draco rolled his eyes.

"When's your birthday?" Ginny asked.

"December 23rd."

"I think that explains his cold bitter exterior perfectly don't you?" Gabrielle said sitting up.

Ginny laughed. "Yep perfectly."

Draco put down his book. "I am not bitter."

Gabrielle raised her one of her elegantly shaped eyebrows.

"Cynical maybe? But not bitter" he finished getting up book in hand and heading for the compartment door.

"Oh big difference." Gabrielle shouted sarcastically as the door slid shut. "Can't sit one place that one." She added pulling the magazine from Blaise's custody and reading it herself. Blaise simply rolled his eyes and looked at Gin.

"So as I hear it you're in debt to Dray?" He said sitting back.

Ginny looked at him in a confused manner. "Huh?"

"Well he ate that bean and now it's his turn to pick something." He explained.

"Oh that, you heard about that."

"Of course Draco tells me everything."

"Not everything." Gabrielle's voice floated from behind the magazine.

"Well of course he tells you more, you strike fear into the hearts of the living."

Gabrielle lowered the magazine and pouted.

"But you are the best looking fear striker out there." he finished. And she smiled continuing to read.

Ginny laughed. "She has you so wrapped." she commented and Blaise nodded.

She eyed Blaise. "So if he tells you everything what is going to ask me for?"

Blaise smiled. "Sorry dear, can't help you there."

Ginny and the others had been in there awhile and Draco still hadn't returned yet. Gabrielle and Blaise were unperturbed by this fact and remained in deep conversation about whether Blaise should buy the Surly Surreys or the Manchester Manacles for his little brothers Christmas present. Ginny silently excused herself and decided to see who else was going home for the holidays.

She had bumped into several of here friends including Lavender and Padma who momentarily hijacked her to question her on the Ron and Gabrielle rumor and after throughly squashing that it Ginny continued to look around. She was about to pass an seemingly empty compartment when a blonde head caught her attention. She slid the door open.

"Was the talking bothering you that much?" she asked, leaning against the door frame.

He looked up and smiled. "Not really, I just wanted to think."

"Don't let me bother you then." she leaned up and turned to leave.

"No it's ok you can say." he said before she could leave.

Ginny turned back around and came inside the compartment. She sat opposite Draco, who closed his book resting it beside him. There was a short silence.

"So working on any other songs?" He asked Ginny.

She shook her head. "I can only handle one at a time, splitting my attention screws up the songs."

Draco nodded. "I know what you mean."

"Are you working on any other songs?"

He sat back against the seat. "Truthfully? Yes."

"Can you elaborate?"

"Yes."

". . ."

"Will you?"

"No"

She smiled "I see."

Draco laughed. The train had begun to slow down. Ginny looked out the window, red brick had replaced the once scenic view. She sighed.

"We're here." She said looking back at Draco.

She got up and was heading for the door. "We should go get our stuff."

Draco got up and rested his hand on the compartment door. Ginny looked up at him. He was looking right into her brown eyes.

"Yes?" she asked quietly.

"I have something for you, from the other day."

Ginny looked at him. Wondering what he was talking about.

Draco lifted his hand from the door, moving to her chin. He gently pulled her face towards his. He lowered his head silently to hers. Their lips met.

Ginny's eyes fluttered shut as did Draco's, his lips danced skillfully over hers as her hands found his chest resting there lightly. Draco pulled away as the train came to a complete stop.

Ginny looked at him before smiling. He smirked and they left the compartment returning to Gabrielle and Blaise's supervision.


So how did I do?
