"Should we wake them?"
"Sure but get a picture first, this is great blackmail stuff."
I heard the whispering of Luna and Zambini but I was so comfortable and warm I didn't feel like getting up. I did when I heard the clicking of the camera and when I felt and arm pull me tighter. I screamed and shot up. Malfoy jumped and rolled over at the same time causing him to roll on the floor. He then sat up looking around. His blonde hair was disheveled and really messy. His clothes were wrinkled and his face had a groggy look to it.
Luna and Zambini were across the room laughing so hard that they had to use each other for support.
Zambini was the first to speak. "What did you guys do, fall in love and decide to spend the night."
"I wouldn't spend the night with ferret boy if my life depended on it. I was waiting for Luna's return like a best friend should, and we couldn't contact you and I guess we fell asleep." I said while crossing my arms. I could feel my anger flare up.
"You fell asleep in each other's arms? That's taking waiting to a whole new level." Luna said while smirking at me.
"We were sitting up, but I guess we fell over when we were sleeping and I guess I just got cold and pulled her over." Malfoy answered while trying to stand up.
"Oh thanks you were using me as a blanket. I feel so greatly appreciated."
"You should be, that's about all you'll get from me."
"Oh fuck off Malfoy. I didn't have any intentions of spending the night nor will I ever." I stood up with a huff and walked out. I then walked back in and grabbed Luna and dragged her out with me.
"Ginny what the hell is your problem?"
I turned around so I was face to face with her. "You want to know what my problem is Luna? My problem is that you spent all night out with Zambini and didn't even think to tell me. I was doing what a best friend should do; wait for her friend so if anything goes wrong, I'LL BE THERE!"
"Okay you're right. I should have contacted you but I was having such a good time that I forgot. You don't what it's like when you found someone like what I have found in Blaise. I know you don't believe in soul mates but I do, and I think he's it! He makes me forget that time even exists. I love him Ginny I really do, so sorry that I didn't contact you."
I was stunned. I bowed my head in shame and when I looked up I could feel the usual prickling of tears. They slowly rolled down. Luna was hugging a second later.
"I'm sorry Luna, I didn't mean to holler at you. I was just so caught up in my anger with Ferret boy I took it out on you. I never meant to interfere with your love."
"It's okay I know you didn't mean it. I forgive you, Ginny. I'll try to contact you next time, really I will." We gave each other a really tight hug and then separated. We then walked our separate ways to go get ready for classes. I said the password to the Fat Lady and walked in. Luckily only two first years were preoccupying the room so I could get in without my brother on me.
I walked over to the girls' staircase and climbed up. Halfway up to my dorm Hermione was walking down.
"GINEVRA LEEANN WEASLEY! Where the hell were you? You had everyone worrying about you. I thought Ron was going to have a heart attach." Hermione's face was lined with worry and fury.
"I was with Luna. We fell asleep and we just woke up. I would have came back but it's hard to when passed out on a couch." Hermione's face smoothed out.
"Well tell us next time please. You had me worried."
"I will, I promise." I hugged her and continued on my way. I had to lie because I don't think Hermione would take it well if I had said, "Yeah Hermione I was spending the night with Malfoy. We were even sleeping in the same bed." I don't think she would take it too well. Knowing her she would get angry then tell Ron. Then I'll never be allowed to leave the room unless for classes.
I walked up the steps and opened the door to the room I hadn't seen for 3 months. I took a deep breath and smiled.
"OMG Ginny! Like where were you last night? Ron was like so worried about you. Hell you had me worried about you." Ashley said while sitting up. She was my friend is classes. That's about it. We didn't talk much outside of classes. She was too preppy for me. She had blonde hair that she always kept into a messy side ponytail. She wore bright colored clothes and short skirts. She kept the collars up on her jackets. And she had a really preppy voice that got annoying sometimes. But she's really sweet and can come up with good things to talk about in a conversation.
"I accidentally fell asleep with Luna in a empty classroom. We were talking and we just fell asleep I guess. When I woke up I walked back." I walked over to my trunk to get ready for class. I opened it up and grabbed my skirt, shirt, shoes, socks and a tie. Our school doesn't require the girls to wear ties but Luna and I do. We also changed our shoelaces. Mine are black and green to my brother's distaste. Luna's are white and blue. We asked Dumbledore if they were allowed and he said he loved it because they showed diversity in this school. He also said that he was tired of just brown shoelaces and this gave him something to look forward to.
I walked into the bathroom and took a fifteen-minute shower. I got out and got dressed. I dried my hair with my wand and put it up in a half ponytail and half down. I grabbed my silver hoop earrings and put them on. I put on my make up and walked out. I grabbed my book bag and left. I met Hermione in the common room and we left for the Great Hall.
We walked in and found a seat at our table. I took some eggs and sausage. Professor McGonagall was handing out schedules to the people arriving. I was looking at mine:

"Hermione they keep giving me so many double classes. That's a three hour period."
"Yeah and I thought that an hour and a half was bad. Let me see your schedule." I handed it to her.
"Ginny, some of these classes I have at the same time. Do you think they messed up?"
"No it's just that, okay you know how I want to be a Healer?"
"Yeah and you'd be really good at it too."
"Well I was way past advanced for my grade, in potions, transfiguration and Medicine Aid. So I am in those classes with the seventh years."
"Well I can understand Potions and Medicine Aid, but why Transfiguration?" She asked, while sounding impressed at my intelligence.
"Well you never know when you may need to transfigure something to help you."
She smiled and nodded her head. "Well have fun with the Slytherins."
I looked at her like she had gone mad, "What do you mean?"
"Oh we have potions and transfiguration with the Slytherins"
"Ugh that means I'll be with Malfoy."
"And Zambini. Don't forget those two together are the worse than your twin brothers."
I just nodded my head. I still wanted to remain friends with Luna and if they found out about her and Zambini then I would be banned from seeing Luna.
"Well I'm going to head off to classes now, I'll talk to you later." I stood up and left the Great Hall. I walked down to the dungeons and into the classroom.
"You're early Miss Weasley."
"Yes sir, I was wondering if I could talk to you about being in this class."
"Yes Ma'am what is it, and do be quick, I don't want to spend my time talking to you."
I scowled; he has 20 minutes before the stupid class even starts. "Sir, seeing as I'm taking a seventh year class in my sixth year, what will I do next year?"
"Well you'll do independent study. I'll give you the college work and you'll do it on your own."
"So I would turn in my work just like I usually would?"
"Yes, then I would send it to them, they grade it and turn it into me. I keep track of your grade, not the college. It's still a Hogwarts class, just you do college work."
"Thank you sir."
"And for everyone of your classes, if you don't keep your grade up you will be put back." He seemed hopeful that I would.
"That won't be a problem Professor. I will keep it up."
"This is a tough year Ma'am. You might not pass."
"Oh do I have to take the N.E.W.T.S?"
"For this class yes, and same for all your other classes that they have placed you in."
"Okay, thank you sir."
I walked over to the farthest desk possible. "Oh and Miss Weasley, don't get settled, this year you guys have partners and assigned seats."
I looked at him with shock. I hope I'm with a Gryffindor. I sat down and put my head on the desk. I must have fallen asleep because Hermione was shaking my shoulders. I looked up at her.
"You okay Ginny?"
"Huh, yeah, I just fell asleep. I'm fine, I'm just not looking forward too 3 hours of Snape."
"No one does Ginny. Just wait it out." I smiled and waited for the Snape to start the class. He must have left when I was asleep because I couldn't see him anywhere. He then walked in and slammed the door shut.
"These are your new partners and seating arrangements." He was rambling of people. I didn't not want my name to be called for the second or third rows, that was were the double tables are, so someone sat next to you, in front of you and diagonally.
"Ginny Weasley will be partnering with Pansy Parkinson. Across from them Draco Malfoy with Blaise Zambini." I groaned. Of coarse put me with her and them. I'm going to need a lot of restraint from killing her.
He finished with the list and we moved to our designated spots. Malfoy sat down in front of me.
"Just my luck, stuck with Weasley and Parkinson." Malfoy said while sitting down. I looked up at him in surprise. I thought he liked her. I made a mental note to ask him about it.
"Well it's just my luck I'm stuck with three Slytherins two of them Malfoy and Parkinson."
"Oh get over it you slut." Parkinson said. I turned and looked at her.
"Well at least I'm not sleeping with other girls boyfriends."
"He didn't like you anymore, he just thought I was more attractive."
"More attractive than what?" I asked while glaring at her.
"I guess you."
"Oh well they actually don't find you attractive. No it's more like they're guys and they have this thing called a dick and if someone's willing to satisfy it then they go after them. Your not attractive your just a whore." I smirked at her. She got really red in the face. I don't whether from embarrassment or anger. Possibly both.
"Is there a problem here?" Snape asked while standing behind us.
I looked at Pansy just begging her to wimp out and tell. She just remained quiet. I took over, "No sir there isn't."
Then get to work on the potion." He stormed off. I read the directions twice then went to get the ingredients. After in grabbed what I need I sat them down on the desk. I read what had to happen when. I got the amount needed; the size and shape of each ingredient while Pansy sat filing her nails.
"It'd be nice if I could have at least some help. Maybe like put in a ingredient or two." She looked up and said, "Whatever." She grabbed two ingredients and put on in. Luckily that was the one you were supposed to put in but not the other.
"PARKINSON WRONG INGREDIENT. Stir what you just put in counterclockwise 5 times. No pansy other way, other way, THE OTHER WAY!" Malfoy and Zambini were laughing.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed the wand and turned it the other way. "God Pansy, what is so hard to understand about those directions?"
"I didn't know what counterclockwise meant, I only know what clockwise was." I looked at her like she had gone crazy. Both of the boys were in tears.
"Well if a curse hurts you, what does a COUNTER curse do?"
"It blocks it, or reverses it."
"Good, it does the OPPOSITE of what it's suppose to do." I rolled my eyes and just decided to do it on my own when Pansy must have gotten board and threw the wrong ingredient in. It ignited then exploded. Everyone was covered in this foul smelling goo. It was brown and sticky and watery at the same time. It smelled like poop, so I'm going to take a wild guess at what were covered in, either that to a look alike.
"Great, Parkinson, just great. If you had listened this wouldn't have happened."
"Well Weasley, unlike you I can buy a new outfit. What are you, a low poorer than dirt person going to do."
I screamed and launched myself at her. Because the floor was covered in the goo we slipped and were on the floor. But me having wrestled with my brothers was able to flip her off then crawl back on. I started to hit punch in the face, speaking between every hit.
"You…are…lower…than…pond scum…I hope…you…get…a STD…and…remain… Sexless…because…of it." I would have gone further but someone pulled me off. I was kicking and screaming but they didn't let me go.
"Miss Weasley! What is the meaning of this?" Snape was the one who dragged me off.
I tried to pull away, "She provoked me. That little bitch shall pay for ruining every little bit of hope I have and ever had. She will pay, she will."
"Miss Weasley, a weeks detention! See me tonight at 7:00." He held me until I got the door and pushed me out. I fell to the ground and I heard the door slam behind me. I stood up and ran all the way to my common room. Once I got in I ran up to my dorm. I ran to my trunk and grabbed a new outfit to wear. I used my wand and cleaned the outfit so all the goo was off but there was still the stain. I took it off and put my new one on. I cleaned my hair and re-put on my makeup. I then ran to my bed and jumped on it and cried. She just had to ruin everything. She took away my boyfriend, she ruined my clothes, she picks on me, and she always brags about what she ahs better. Why does the whore always get more attention than the virgin?
After awhile my crying stopped. I got up and grabbed my bags and left the area. Lunch had already started and I knew that I had to find Luna. I entered the Great Hall and scanned for her black and pink highlighted hair. I didn't see her, so I looked for Zambini, couldn't find him either. I then caught Malfoy's eye. He stood up and walked towards me. He then passed me and I could see his hands motioning me to follow him. I did.
I walked out the doors but I couldn't see him. I then saw an arm pop out of the adjoining hallway and grab me.
"Weasley, what the hell is your problem?"
"What the fuck Malfoy. What are you talking about?"
"What was with Parkinson?"
"You saw it, everyone did, and I just reacted in anger. Now please leave me be." I pushed to walk away but he pushed me against the wall.
"Weasley, you better hope she doesn't tell her parents in embarrassment, she looks like hell."
"I hit her hard enough to bruise her, she should have a few purple dots on her face, she can hide it with magic."
"That's not the point Weasley, she is very good at getting revenge."
"Why the hell do you care? I'm a Weasley and you're a Malfoy."
"Because, one Luna would be upset and then Zambini would be mad because I didn't tell you and not telling you would make Luna upset."
I just stared at him.
"Oh just forget it, the other reason is, it takes a lot of guts to do that to Parkinson and I don't like her so you at least get an ounce of warning from me." He let go of me and walked away, as he was about to step out into the hallway I said, "Thanks Malfoy, see you around."
I walked away feeling weird. Malfoy being at least a little nice was just wrong.
I went to the rest of my classes without any problem. As I was eating dinner I kept getting, "Way to go Ginny." "Hey great defense and offense" Everyone was congratulating me except Harry, he was glaring at me. I finished my dinner 10 minutes before 7. I made my way down the dungeons.
I entered the dungeon to see Snape and Malfoy talking. The room was still covered in the goo. I cleared my throat and they looked at me.
"Ahhh Miss Weasley. Well thanks to Miss Parkinson we weren't able to use this classroom, but you did provoke her and you did get detention, so you may clean. I have a Staff Meeting, so I'm leaving Malfoy here in charge." I just nodded as he left the room.
"I have also been told by Snape that you are to use NO magic. The bucket, broom and mop are over there in the corner." I just nodded as I looked over at it. I leaned down and took my shoes and socks off. I then slid a pair of gym shorts over top of my skirt and very carefully took of my skirt. (A.n It is possible; I've done it before) Malfoy was looking at me like I had gone crazy. "Malfoy I don't want to get another outfit dirty, besides you didn't see anything." I walked over to get the bucket and mop. I filled the bucket up with water from the sink and got to work. I had to keep dumping and refilling my bucket from all the goo. After 2 hours I was finally finished, tables and floors.
"Okay Malfoy you ready to go?" I didn't get response and I looked over. He had fallen asleep. I walked over and started to sake him awake. That wasn't working so took my wand out and got really close to him and made it shoot out silly string but with a loud bang. He flew backwards in the chair and landed on the ground. But unfortunately he took me down with him. That side of the room was now covered in silly string and Snape just had to see it the silly string and me on top of Malfoy.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? Malfoy and Weasley you to have detention for the rest of week together and clean this up, and no but's about it."
Him and I cleaned up as fast as we could and ran out. Once we were out the dungeons we started to laugh.
"Thanks Weasley, no I have detention. Thanks." He grabbed his cell phone. I saw him dial a number then he pushed a button on the side so I could here everything.
Someone picked up, "Yo what's up Malfoy?"
"Where are you?"
"Dude in the bedroom having the most wonderful time with Luna."
"Zambini the condoms are in the top right draw in my nightstand."
"Oh thanks, but we wont need them, just making out. You bringing Ginny?"
He turned to look at me, "You want to go? It won't be fun because the lovebirds will be preoccupied with each other."
"Sure, I guess."
"Yeah Blaise I'm bringing her." Malfoy said while looking somewhere in the distance.
"Hey Ginny?" It was Luna.
"Yeah girl?"
"Bring something to wear to bed, I'm staying the night and I want you there, okay?"
"I guess. What about my clothes? I can't go up to my common room and expect to leave again?"
"We'll worry about it when the time comes. Just come up Ginny, PLEASE!"
"Alright, I'll spend the night. See you in a few minutes." I handed the phone back to Malfoy who hung up.
"You ready to go Weasley?"
"I was ready before you even made the call." I walked passed him and made my way to his room. In about a minute I saw him walking next to me.
"What is your problem Weasley? Huh? Why do you treat me like I'm just some stupid person not worth your time?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
"You're just some stupid person not worth my time. Get it straight Malfoy. Just the first level is enough to tell you we shouldn't cross paths. You're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor and, and you're a Malfoy."
"Well thank you, now I now what last name to say when they ask."
"Shut up. I mean you're a Malfoy and I'm a Weasley, our family hates each other. I don't know why though. I mean when I ask all I get is don't worry about it or a subject change." I looked him square in the eye.
"I don't know either Weasley. I ask and get the same answers. They're hiding something from us and I know it. But all I know is what I have been taught, to hate you and your family. But with you for some strange reason I can't"
"I have no problem hating you Malfoy." I turned around and continued walking. There was silence until I arrived at the portrait. Malfoy said the password and we entered. I set my bag on the floor near the door and walked in. Luna and Blaise were nowhere to be seen and the room was empty.
I noticed something I hadn't seen before. A door was wide open and I could see stairs leading up."
"Ummm that's the guest rooms and balcony." Malfoy said while walking over to his closet. He grabbed two pairs of sweatpants and shirt, and then took of his shirt. He then pulled down his pants and I was blushing so bad. I turned around and grabbed my bag to start on some homework.
"Here Weasley, they might be big on you, but here's some pants and a shirt to wear to bed. The pants were made out of black cotton and the shirt green cotton.
"Oh um thank you, is there anywhere I could change?"
"Yeah there's a bathroom right over there." He pointed a door on the opposite side of the room. I walked over and quickly changed. I smiled as put on the shirt. It smelled really good. I walked back out and put my clothes with my stuff.
The pants were a little big so the hung on my hips and were really baggy and really comfortable. The shirt was fine for me; it fell down to my thighs and didn't cling. I liked the outfit and the smell was a bonus. I looked over at Malfoy to thank him when I noticed something. He wasn't wearing a shirt and I could clearly see a necklace hanging from his chest. I walked over and got really close to him.
"Weasley, I gave you some clothes, that's not an invitation to have sex. What the hell are you doing, don't touch that."
I had reached out and grabbed the necklace for a closer view. It was sterling silver and had a heart for a pendant. A topaz stone was placed where the two ends of the heart met at the bottom.
"That's very pretty Malfoy, why would you were something like that?"
"I don't know it's always been with me for as long as I could remember. I don't show anyone it though. No one in my family knows I have it."
"Can I see it for a second." The necklace was striking something familiar in me, like I had seen it before. He took it off and handed it to me. I flipped it over and I could see finely engraved in the heart, "To my Ginny Weasley."
"It has my name." He took it from me and saw that it did.
"How did you know about that? I swear I didn't take it from you. I don't even know how I got it."
"I don't know how, it's just looked familiar to me. Hey maybe you can help me understand this one." I walked over to my stuff and reached into my skirts pocket. I pulled out the watch and handed it to him.
"I don't know how I got it, but I did. I never showed anyone in fear of getting in trouble." He was looking at it and then he gave an awkward smile.
"This is mine. I remember my father giving it to me and then being very upset when I didn't know where it was. I had forgotten all about this. How did you find it?"
"I was just cleaning my room and found it with a bunch of my old stuff. I couldn't tell you how I got it."
"Don't you find this strange? We both have something from each other, no clue how we got it yet we remember that it's ours."
"And that our family is keeping something from us about the hating of each other."
We stood staring at each other, contemplating what could have possibly happened. He then handed me the necklace, "Here you might want this."
"No keep it, we have it for some reason we might as well figure out why by keeping it, besides the watch brings me good luck."
"Same with the necklace." He put the necklace back on and I carefully put the watch on.
We then started on our homework. After about two hours we decided to call it quits and went to bed. I took Blaise's. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit that pillow.
I was dangling from the floor. Some boy had my hands holding me up. I looked down and saw that I was up four stories high. The wood I had stepped on must have broken the others too. My teddy bear fell from my arms and landed somewhere amongst the rubble. I was screaming and crying also. I looked up to see who was holding me but his face was in the shadows. I could see the watch on my arm but I couldn't tell if he was wearing my necklace. If he was that meant he was Malfoy but to my dismay I couldn't.
I tired to hoist myself up but I wasn't strong enough. I looked to be 3 years old. That's when two men ran into the room. I could only make out my dad as one but not the other.
I sat up straight in my bed. Malfoy was leaning over me.
"Ginny you okay?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You were screaming and kicking. And also crying."
"Just a nightmare, a nightmare that seemed so real though. It was like a memory or something."
"Well as long as you don't die in here I'm okay. Try explaining that one to the Ministry. I don't how she died. Yes sir she is in my room, dead and a Weasley but I swear I didn't kill her." I smiled and rolled over. He went back to bed. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
