Chapter 19

"Look, It's not my fault you guys can't agree but this argument is over !" Hermione shouted at the top of her lungs, at the other members of the graduation committee, "Now, I will find the song and you will love it, whether you like it or not ! Deal?"

The other members nodded solemnly and began to pack up when the meeting was adjourned and slowly began to disperse, "Parkinson," Hermione called. Pansy turned and cast an eye on the Gryffindor.

"Where's Draco? this is the second time he's missed a meeting," She said ignoring the awful look that Pansy was casting her.

"I don't know, away maybe?"

"Well how profound, why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah I did. That's why I'm asking you, where away?"

Pansy shrugged, "Don't know,"

"Let me guess, if you did you wouldn't tell me?"

"You got it, Granger." With that Pansy turned on her heels and left the room. Hermione made her way back to the Gryffindor common room and threw herself down on the couch with an exasperated sigh. There was a crunch of paper underneath her and she let out a frustrated growl, easing up she pulled the offending parchment out. Her eyes ran down the sheet, there were two type of handwriting on it on she recognized as Ginny's the other was kind of familiar but she couldn't place but she had seen it while helping McGonagall mark tests.

Hermione scanned the page her lips drew into a smile, she should have thought of this before, she sat up straight and ran up the stairs to the girls dorm, "Ginny!" she ycalled running up to the younger girls door and knocking. No response.

"Ginny!" she called again.

"She's not in," Lavender spoke sticking her head out of her own room.

"Where is she it's almost curfew?"

Lav shrugged, "Not here." Hermione sighed it would have to wait but hopefully Ginny would get back soon.


Gabrielle stood staring at Blaise's portrait as she had done earlier that evening, but this time a small house elf stood at her side holding a tray of the meal that had been served earlier that evening. She sent the elf in before her and entered less enthusiastically. The room was no longer pitch black but there was a dim candle flickering by the bed, the elf placed the food on the edge of the bed and left the room. Blaise was still slumbering when the house elf left.

Gabrielle stayed a fair distance from Blaise in the shadows of the room, she watched him from afar as his eyes cracked open and he looked around the room, he looked at the plate, seemingly contemplating eating and the shook his head "I'm not hungry," he said quietly.

"Yes, you are," she said, remembering the sound of his stomach from earlier.

"No, I'm not," he said his voice like that of a whiny five year old.

Gabrielle rolled her eyes and walked out of the corner and over to him sitting on the edge of the bed, "Blaise, you need to eat something." she said gently, but Blaise shook his head. She sighed in a resigned sort of way.

"You eat it, I can't," he said sitting up against the head board of the four poster bed. Gabrielle moved further onto the bed and sat at the opposite end with her back against the foot board, so the two were facing each other.

"Blaise, I'm fine I had breakfast this morning. You've been in here all day," she said trying to persuade him.

Blaise shook his head, Gabrielle let out a breath as she watched Blaise just stare at the food. Soon she eased up and made her way over to Blaise's end of the bed. She moved next to him and sat down, resting her head on his shoulder. He instinctively wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she got closer to him. Holding his hand that was draped around her shoulder as she use to. Blaise turned his head towards her inhaling the smell of her hair, just as he remembered it. Then Blaise realized he couldn't do it, live a happy life with out her and he knew she still cared for him because she was here with him consoling him and trying to get him to eat, "Gabrielle," he said his voice quiet he felt a lump in his throat and swallowed it, clearing him, "Gabrielle," he repeated a little louder this time.

She looked up at him, "Yes, Blaise."

He tried to look her in the eyes and say this so she knew he was telling the truth but couldn't bring himself to look into her eyes knowing what she probably thought of him now, "I'm sorry," his voice was quiet again. "I do trust you, I do and I'm sorry for making you feel like I didn't and that I made you mad even for a second. I don't know what I can do to prove it to you but I'm sorry." He was looking at the candle on his bedside.

Gabrielle hadn't said anything for a long time and he refused to look at her, finally he felt a gentle hand on his cheek, Gabrielle turned his head to face her, he could see the tear stains on her cheeks, "Why are you-" but he stopped when she placed a finger on his lips. Then he saw it. It was a smile, a small one but a smile.

"Blaise, That's all I needed." she said simply.

"What?"

"I just wanted you to apologize, and trust me."

Blaise turned himself toward her fully, taking her hand from his cheek into his, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry and I trust you with me life." He was looking straight into her sapphire eyes and she laughed. He leaned forward and kissed her, her other hand went to his face holding him close to her.

Blaise pulled away quickly and reached into the drawer next to the bed, he took out a blue velvet box and handed it to Gabrielle, "How 'bout it?"

Gabrielle laughed slightly, "Of course, you didn't need to ask" She said quietly. She looked into his eyes, "I told you Blaise, my answer will always be yes." she said repeating her words from christmas.


Ginny sat next to Draco, her head on his shoulder, "Gin, you are-"

"Amazing, I know that's the fourth time your saying it." She said laughing slightly.

"But it's true," he pressed a kiss to her cheek.

Ginny pulled the sleeve of her robe and checked the time, "Shit," she muttered as Draco's lips fell onto her neck, "Draco, I need to go."

"Uh-uh" Draco mumbled into her neck.

"Uh- huh," she said back turning her face and kissing him properly, "I have to go, okay?"

"Not okay, but I'll live." Ginny got up and brushed off her uniform

"You going to be okay?" she asked tentatively as she straightened her robes.

Draco nodded, "I'll be fine, go."

She smiled and bent down to kiss him one last time when they broke away she whispered against his lips, "Your fly's down," with that she turned and left Draco to tend to his open trap. Ginny made her way through the halls and back to the tower with literally a minute to spare before curfew came into affect. She entered the red and gold room and was intent on going straight to her room when someone called her.

"Ginny," Hermione called waving the smaller girl over to where she was sitting with piles of work and books.

"Hey, Mione, what's goingon?" she asked making polite conversation.

"Gin, is this yours?" Hermione pulled out a piece of parchment and handed it to Ginny who after looking it over nodded.

"Good, I have a favour to ask then,"

"Shoot," Ginny said agreeing so that she would be allowed to leave.

"Can you this our graduation song, I mean I know you have a thing about singing in public, but I said I'd find a song and this ones perfect but if you don't want to I'll understand, I'll be lynched but I'd understand." Hermione was speaking incredibly fast and Ginny nodded along until she finished.

"Ok," Ginny said simply, her mind was split in between the astronomy tower 5 minutes ago and her bed five minutes from now.

"We can use the song?"

"Yeah." she said dreamily.

"And you'll sing it?"

"Sure," she replied still not listening.

"In front of people?"

"Yes, Hermione." she said irritated that Hermione still insisted on talking.

"But-"

"Mione, I'll do it. Stage fright is so last term." with that Ginny turned and walked to her room. Gabrielle was no where to be seen, probably still with Blaise, Ginny thought almost hopefully. Her mind was still clouded with Draco. (And whose wouldn't be?) Discarding her robes and uniform for her pajama bottoms and loose mutant slug tee. She pulled her hair in to a high bun on the top of her head to keep it off of her neck as she threw herself down onto her four poster and fell asleep.

The next morning was normal for the most part Gabrielle wasn't there but this didn't bother Ginny she took her shower and met Colin in the common room to walk do to breakfast. They entered the great hall taking seats at the gryffindor table in between Neville and Hermione, who looked extra happy to day. Ginny ignored this as Colin pushed a fruit plate in her direction, "Colin, I love you." she said accepting the plate.

"I know you do, I'm just so lovable." Colin said sarcastically as he pulled a plate of eggs toward himself. Ginny laughed and was about to start on her food when the great hall doors and the most brilliant news stood in the doorway.

Gabrielle entered the great hall in between Draco and Blaise, Blaise's hand wrapped around her waist as if nothing had happened and in the sunlight that poured in through the windows a sizable purple diamond glistened from her left hand as it had a over a month ago. The slytherins that flanked them seemed to be taking their lead an acting as though nothing had happened and this was an indication that the rest of the school was to do the same.

There were small gasps through out the hall, even some of the teachers took note as they had been following the gossip in hushed tones. Receiving information from each other and confiscated notes. Gabrielle ran her fingers through her ebony hair before twinkling her fingers at Ginny in a small wave, with that she was led away to the Slytherin table.

The noise in the great hall gradually returned to normal, only to be forced quiet as Dumbledore rose from his seat, "I will be quick," he announced. "It is simply tradition that we announce the graduation committees decision for the song they have decided that represents them as a class. I'm proud to say that it is an original composition by a student in the school..."

Ginny was only half listening to Dumbledore the graduation song didn't really interest her she brought her goblet of pumpkin juice to her lips, ". . .it was not only composed by her but she has also offered to sing it for the graduates at the ceremony our very own Ginevra Weasley." Ginny almost choked on her juice as the Gryffindor table and a few others broke out into applause.

Her eyes wide as Colin patted her back to dislodge the pumpkin juice and Hermione beamed down at her, "I'm doing what?" she asked Hermione.

"Singing Ginny. I asked you yesterday and you said yes,"

"But I get Stage fright!"

"You said stage fright was so last term and walked off, don't you remember?"

Ginny though back and vaguely remembered a conversation with Hermione in which she had agreed to do something but she wasn't sure what, "Hermione, I wanted to go to bed I would have agreed to anything to shut you up."

Hermione but her lip, "Sorry, Gin."

Ginny tried to drink some more pumpkin juice but choked again and Colin graciously led her out of the great hall. Gabrielle had noticed Ginny's reaction from the Slytherin table and excused herself from a reluctant Blaise to go se Ginny. She met her friends in the entrance hall where Ginny was berating Colin who trying to calm her down.

"How could you let me do this to myself, Colin. Why do you think I keep you as a friend? To look pretty? No ! To keep me from agreeing to embarrass myself in public. Your not that pretty Colin ! Your not that pretty !" Ginny was yelling at the brunette, who In turn was suppressing laughter.

"Are you finished?" Gabrielle asked the red head who then turned on her.

"You !" she shouted at Gabrielle, "If you weren't mourning, I'd kick your ass for letting me do this." Gabrielle wasn't as successful as Colin at hiding laughter and began to chuckle in the middle of the hall.

"Ginny," She said when the laughter subsided and the red head had retreated into a corner "Are finished passing the blame?"

Ginny nodded

"Good, because it's not our fault. You should pay attention and Hermione shouldn't talk to people on there way to bed and expect them to comprehend." she walked over to her friend and placed an arm around her shoulders, "Gin, listen. I'll help you with the song and by the time I'm done you'll be so use to singing it will be second nature, audience or no."

Ginny was skeptical but agreed, if anything by the time Graduation came Gabrielle would know the song and Ginny could fake sick and Gabrielle could do it instead, she did have a few of Gred and Forge's 'Skiving Snack boxes' left at the bottom of her trunk.
