A/N: Wow, I got a lot more responses for the last chapter. To all my reviewers a big cyber hug. Weee! Blech, I am so tired right now. I have a load of notes in front of me and I am updating a fanfic. gasp I am very unhappy with chaptr 1 and I think I have to change it. Sorry Jim (comet moon). I don't think I was in the right mind when I wrote that part of the story. Anyway. I'll shut up now and let you read. Please review. I love reviews, I update quicker with more reviews…I did this time.

Chapter 7: Surprising discoveries

About three days later I was walking to the common room. I had almost reached when: "Ginny!"

"Yes col." I said as I turned to see Colin running towards me.

"Jacque asked me to give this to you."

He was holding the book written by Jacque's uncle. The good uncle. 'Special abilities: Epistula' by Gabriel DuPont. It was a part of a series he had written.

I smiled, "Thanks. I was wondering when it would come."

He returned the smile, but I could see it was strained, "Hey Gin, since when have you been interested in epistula?"

"You know what it is?" I asked, completely shocked. Epistula studies were rare, especially since pretty much nobody could do it, so hardly anyone knew about them.

He looked at me seriously, "Ginny, I know what you are."

I stopped dead in my tracks, my eyes widened as I looked at him. He definitely knew.

"How?"

"Everyday you go for about an hour or two, come back exhausted, yet you manage to finish your work and are still topping our grade in all subjects. You were pushed into the armor and the spear had to hurt you badly. You never went to the infirmary, yet there isn't a scratch left. You've been studying muggle biology and psychology. You read books read in healer universities, and you have asked Jacque for a book on epistula studies. Gin, how many people can reach the dead? Not only that, all the animals love you and you are the only person other than Hagrid and Dumbledore who can calm Grawp down. I'm just upset you never told Jacque and me, Aren't we your friends Gin?"

I sighed , "Col, the headmaster told me not to tell anyone. I'm sorry."

He hugged me, "That's okay love. Now that I know are you going to tell Jacque?"

"I don't know" I mumbled against his shoulder, "I don't know if I can."

"So ask the old bumblebee" Before I could say anything, he pulled me and ran to Dumbledore's office.

When we reached I gave the password and the gargoyle shifted after winking at me. That is seriously disturbing.

Dumbledore greeted us in his usual bubbly manner.

"Professor, Colin figured out that I'm a natural."

The twinkle in his eye sparkled, "Yes of course. Mr. Creevy, am I right to believe you know about your great grandmother?"

Colin nodded as I looked on in curiosity. Colin sensed that and said, "Great gran was the last natural, an elemental."

"Oh"

"Yeah, um, so professor, we were wondering if Ginny could tell Jacque about her abilities."

Dumbledore smiled at us kindly and turned to me, "You can tell anyone you feel comfortable telling and can trust, just think of whether the situation calls for it or not. It would be a good idea to tell Mr. Gaudette, as he and Mr. Creevy seem to be your closest friends. I think that you will need them during this time."

We thanked him and left. On the way back we heard Cho talking to her friends "-only going out with him because of who he is. I mean, who would pass this up? I have him tied around my little finger. The richest, most famous, easy-on-the-eyes boy in Britain is totally smitten with me. I do like Roger more, but hey, this gives me more publicity. It's a good bargain, he'll think he has me while I have his heart, wealth and fame."

I felt sick. Colin and I looked at each other in disgust and walked quietly back to the common room. I felt so bad. I asked my friend, "Do you think we should…?"

He shook his head, “It’s better for him to handle what comes. He’ll need to know how to recognize who is genuine and who is not in the future if he wants to make it in this world being who he is.” I nodded, he was right. No one except Lily and Remus knew that I knew about the prophecy. He would need to be able to see friend from foe.

That day I told Colin and Jacque about everything, even about the diary. They were very supportive; every time I came back from training they made sure I was all right and not hurt. They helped me practice outside training, and took noted for me during Historyof Magic(I was sleeping-hey! The whole deal is exhausting!)

My powers gradually increased and I was able to reach Lily. She actually appeared in front of me. It was upto me whether she turned invisible, solid or transparent. It was great, she took me around the castle showing me secret passages and stuff. There was even this huge place in the Gryffindor tower meant for four girls. She had been one during her time. She went through a ceremony so I would take her place as the new leader. It was upto me to chose three more people. The group was known as 'Gryffindor four'. The group had been started long before the marauders who had only been for one generation; this group had gone on for years. Each person had a small apartment, which were connected by a common living room. I stood and watched as my name appeared on the door right above Lily's. Hers was above the women of the previous groups. As I entered her photographs vanished, everything that had her name on it changed to accommodate mine. Magic was truly at work. We talked for a while about my friends and my training, she knew I had told Jacque and Colin about her and asked that we refer to her using her middle name, Rose, while talking in public. When it was time to leave I muttered a spell to send her back and walked down the hall feeling elated.

My happiness didn't last for too long.

I was walking down from the Dungeons after having a talk with Snape. Jess and I had been passing notes in class. Well, she was telling me how handsome Zabini looked and I was telling her that he was a dirty Slytherine. Obviously Snape was mad.

I bumped into something hard. I looked up to see Malfoy smirking at me. "Weaselette"

"Ferret" I returned and tried to go passed him but he moved in front of me.

"Move out the way Malfoy."

"I want to talk to you."

I looked up at him in surprise, "Really. Oh my god! Malfoy, king of ferrets and all things evil, arrogant and disgusting wants to talk to me, little Weasley sister! Yes, my lordship I would be honored to have a little chitchat with you. Over tea, what do you say? Such an honor! WELL? HUH? WHAT D'YA THINK!"

Yes, I did go overboard. And I was shouting the last bit out. I think I might have scared him a bit, or at the least surprised him.

He looked at me, his silver eyebrows raised. But he collected himself fairly quickly

“Listen here Ginevra.” He growled, “ I know for a fact that the dark lord wants you. He wants to make you his bride. I don’t know why he particularly chose you, not that you aren’t bad. You’re pretty hot, feisty and a pureblood.”

He looked over me once and I repressed a shiver of disgust and loathing.

He moved forward and I kept moving backward till I was standing against the wall. He leaned over me as I shrank away from him. I could taste the bile going up and down my esophagus.

“I’ve decided I’m not going to support him. He’s an old bumbling fool, I could do much better. He must have a good reason for wanting you, so I think you should join me instead. I’ll make you very happy Ginevra. Give you whatever you want, gold, silver, diamonds, dresses, whatever. You’ll never be poor again. Potter and the dark lord will destroy each other and we’ll rule the world!”

"In your dreams ferret!" I spat at him but he only smirked and grabbed my wrist tightly as I struggled against him.

"Let me go!"

"Now, now Ginevra there's no need to get violent." You call this violence you bastard; I'll show you violent!

I kicked him in the shin and he let go for a moment. During those few seconds I swung my fist at him the way Sirius had shown me during training in muggle techniques of fighting. He flew back at the impact of my fist.

"Don't ever try that with me again, that wasn't all the former auror taught me!"

He got up and lunged at me, "Why you little b-"

He fell on the floor stone cold. Behind him stood the caster of the stunner…Blaise Zabini.

"Are you all right?"

I nodded still in shock.

He surveyed that damage I had done to Malfoy's face

"Great Salazar! You have a solid fist Ginevra"

I looked at him skeptically, "What do you want?"

He laughed softly, "I save you from Malfoy here, and that's what you have to say."

I blushed, “I’m sorry, I seem to have forgotten my manners. Thank you Blaise. It was very kind of you to help me. Now, what do you want?”

"To talk about your friend Jessica. But not here, if mister albino here wakes up, I can get into some serious house trouble. Come on." Mister albino? That's hilarious. It does suit him.

I understood why Blaise wanted to leave. Ferret was the leader of the Slytherines and if someone went against him…Well, it’s a complete no-no. How do I know this? Well, Snape let me into some of the on goings in his house during his little speech. He had said Blaise was a good guy, which is why I followed him.

We went into the Room or Requirement. There were two comfortable sofas and a fire. We sat and he started to talk.

"I have noticed that your friend is attracted to me." Wow, talk about being blunt! "I have to say I was surprised to see a Gryffindor pay any attention to me. I was irritated at first that there was someone following me around like a lost puppy, but I have realized that there is something about her and that her feelings do not go unrequited. I cannot approach her without anyone not noticing. I think you are smart enough to know that anyone in my house who starts seeing someone who does not support the Dark Lord, or now, Malfoy will get into a lot of trouble. I'm talking about my life here. But I do not want to give up this chance either. I was hoping you would talk with Jessica and ask her to meet me here tomorrow night at mid night."

He seemed genuine enough. I saw something flicker in his eyes when he talked about Jess and I smiled. She was going to be thrilled.

"All right Blaise, I'll talk to her. You seem to be okay. But if you hurt her, my friends and I will make sure you hurt a thousand times more. Got it?"

"Perfectly."

That was the agreement.

I went back to the common room and talked to Jess. She understood Blaise’s reasons and agreed that she would go and meet him.

I was still furious about the ferret incident. I made up my mind and walked over to the Andrews twins.

The grinned at me as I sat down.

"I need to speak with you two, come with me" I told them.

I guess they sensed that it was a serious matter and followed me.

I took them to the wall from where the entrance of the Gryffindor Fours’ room was and performed the inauguration entitling them to two of the places in the group. After I gave them an explanation about the group, the history of pranks, and took them around the place I told them about ferret. They were true Gryffindors, brave, fierce and loyal. We planned out a prank to humiliate him. It was going to be perfect, now, we just had to decide who the forth person in our group was going to be.

3rd Person POV

The great hall was completely silent. There they were, in front of them, all the Slytherines with greasy-Snape hair. Draco Malfoy with his blond hair stuck to the sides and the only one looking like a very ugly doll, make up and all.

And at the head table sat Severus Snape, though slightly amused, he wasn't thoroughly happy with Ms. Ginevra Weasley. His usually oily black hair was bouncy. It came up till his shoulders and moved silkily as he turned his face. It looked like he had given his entire life to making his hair like that. He could have sworn he saw some girls blush when they looked at him. It was disgusting. I feel like a Gilderoy Lockhart wanna-be He groaned silently

There she was, sitting at the Gryffindor table, looking pleased with herself. There was no one else who would have done this. It had to include some complex spells to convert these beauty charms into a new form so it could be administered by food. She was the only student who could do this.

He would deal with her later.

What he found interesting now was that Professor Angela Sinistra had been sneaking glances at him all morning. When he locked eyes with her and scowled at her, she immediately flushed and looked down at her dinner. The salad on her plate had not been touched since then, yet she kept staring at them trying to avoid his eyes at all costs. Much to his chagrin Ginevra Weasley had also noticed this and she winked cheekily and waggled her eyebrows suggestively from across the room, not worrying about who might see. But this was very interesting indeed!

Silver Warrior- lol. Yes I am female (I really should put something into my bio.) We aren't evil, we just take advantage of the opportunities handed to us (like Ginny did). I should know, I have 2 older brothers winks. Mwahaha! Okay, maybe I am evil…

Sam- sorry this isn't exactly the fluffiest of fics. I am currently writing chapter 14 and there isn't much fluff. It does all come together in the end and Ginny and Harry are going get together, but first they have to fight, then become friends and then progress from that. I'm sorry, I know you must hate me, but Harry's just too thick and Ginny's just too stubborn. They don't want to cooperate just yet.

Sleepyhead- love your name. Sort of what I feel right now. Oh, I am going to beat Cho up, just wait a teensy-weensy bit longer.

rooneylvr – Thank you. I'll try and include something on Hermione and Ron.

Beth5572- Hey Terri, thank you for reading and reviewing, it's really appreciated.

Missy- Thank you for reviewing. Please continue reading and leaving a few comments. Thanks!

Madoleine Tolkien- That's an interesting name. Thank you for reviewing. It really motivates me.

Been- Hi, thanks for reviewing again. Please keep R&R

frozenwind- Thanks. I really appreciate getting you review, please keep reading.

Tenolian- Thanks, um…they'll get together near the ending. Sorry, but please don't let that stop you from reading. My next fic is going to be a little more light hearted. So, keep watch for that. It's going to be called 'The Rules of Attraction' it's actually based on a movie called 'rules' so it is going to be AU. But, I have a feeling you'll like it.

Caillion- Thanks for reviewing. It's alright. I don't mind someone being critical of my writing. I hope this chapter is better. The truth is that I have written most of the fic, I realize I have not filled in all the holes, but everything will fit together, so please keep reading and reviewing.
