Chapter Seven

Black Eyes, Blue Tears

Blaise groaned and stretched. It was three days since she saved Ginny. She had seen little of the girl she loved. She looked around the Library. As usual it was empty. There were only two days left with the potion and she felt she would probably miss it.

She blinked in surprise when Ginny Weasley sat across from her.

"Hi." She said, surprised.

"Hi, Blaise. Look I hate to be blunt, but I just have something I need to say."

"Black eyes I don't need em

Blue tears, Give me Freedom.

Positively never going back

I can't live where things are so out of whack

No more rollin' with the punches

No more usin' or abusin'"

Ginny got to her feet. "I'd rather die standing

Than live on my knees.

Begging please--no more

Black eyes I don't need em

Blue tears gimme freedom

Black eyes all behind me

Blue tears will never find me."

Blaise rose to her feet and kissed Ginny gently. "You know I'd never hurt you."

Ginny looked at the other girl. Blaise was surprised to see tears in her eyes. "I know."

Then Ginny ran out of the room.
