Chapter one- How it Started…

Ginny Weasley sat underneath her favorite tree by the lake with her two best friends, Colin Creevey and Shadie Zabini. As sixth years they had a free period and sitting under that tree was how they usually spent it. Ginny, Colin, and Shadie had been best friends since their first year when they had been placed in Gryffindor together. Colin and Shadie had been dating since the beginning of fourth year when Colin finally confessed he had had a crush on her since the first time he laid eyes on her. Colin, Shadie, and Ginny had the type of friendship most people spend their whole life searching for. They knew know matter what they always had each other. The each played a role in the friendship and without one of them it was like the other two wasn't complete.

Ginny was the outgoing one, she liked to have fun and rarely ever turned down dares. She was the one to go to if you wanted to have fun but Ginny was also shy and didn't really like meeting new people but she did a very good job at covering that up. And after what happened to her during her second year at Hogwarts she was also very slow to trust people but if you were one of the lucky few that she chose to trust enough to become friends with you had a friend for life because once Ginny Weasley was your friend she was always there for you no matter what. She had seen so many great friendships ruined over silly little arguments and vowed to do her best to keep those silly little arguments from ruining any of her friendships.

Colin was the problem solver. If they ever needed someone to talk to Colin was the one to go to. Colin would sit for hours listening to 'girl stuff ' if he thought it would help his best friends in any way. He was the type of person you knew you could trust no matter what. Ginny and Shadie loved talking to Colin about their latest love interests, before Shadie and Colin got together of course, and regardless of the fact that he was head over heals for Shadie he would listen and give them ' a guy's point of view' on what he thought they should do, or how to get a guys attention. Colin was just that kind of person.

Shadie, like Ginny, was the fantasy of many boys at Hogwarts. She had a dark complexion, dark brown hair, and deep blue eyes that when you looked at them it looked as if you were looking into the ocean. She was very creative and loved to make scrap books with the pictures that Colin took. Shadie was a very kind natured person and always tried to help anybody that needed it. But she had an attitude out of this world.

They were all given seventh year transfiguration because in that class they were extremely advanced for their year. But today as they sat under the tree they were all worried what would happen if they failed their first exam.

"Oh come on, Gin, you know you need them too. If we fail our first test McGonagall will put us back with the sixth years, and we all know that is not a class we want to be in." Colin pleaded with his friend as he sat down trying to focus his attention on his homework but he was finding it very hard with Shadie sitting right next to him sucking a lollipop, oblivious to how she was tempting him.

"No, I'm not going to risk getting detention just because you love-sick puppies couldn't unlock your lips long enough to study last night." Ginny said teasingly at her two best friends as she looked out at some of the other students sitting by the lake or chatting lazily with their friends. It was the middle of October and it was just starting to get chilly outside and the leaves were just beginning to fall. It was the time of year when you went outside just to admire how beautiful it was.

Just as Ginny finished her sentence Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini walked up.

"What are you in detention for?" Blaise asked Ginny as him and Draco both sat down next to Shadie.

Most of the Slytherins didn't throw taunts at Shadie, Ginny, and Colin, like they did most of the Gryffindors, at fear of being attacked by either Blaise or Draco. That was one good thing about Shadie, she had a lot of power in the school because her big brother, Blaise, and her cousin, Draco, were the most popular, well respected and not to mention sexiest boys in Slytherin, which gave her, Ginny, and Colin the ability to go wherever they wanted to without having to be afraid they would run into a Slytherin and get hexed into next century just for looking at them.

"I'm not in detention yet, but not for long if your sister has anything to do with it." Ginny stated as she pulled her fiery red hair into a loose pony tail on top of her head.

"Shadie Lynn, why on earth would you try to get poor little Ginny Weasley into detention?" Blaise said sarcastically. Everybody laughed at his tone of voice when he said this. Blaise never had a problem with Ginny like Draco did, he just always ignored it when his father would talk bad about the Weasleys he figured if his dad hated them that much then they must be worth getting to know.

Blaise and Shadie's father was a death eater, along with Draco's father, and they hated everything about him. Their mother was a very sweet and kind natured woman but she was forced to marry Xavier Zabini right out of Hogwarts because their parents had arranged it when she was only five. The Zabini's are the second richest family in wizarding England and they thought they would be able to get in on the inheritance if they signed the papers fast before any better offers came up. But the first thing Xavier did when he and Crystal got married was cut off all communication between her and her parents, not as if she wanted any after everything they put her through.

Draco's family was pretty much the same, his father was a death eater and Draco loathed his very existence. Draco's mom married Draco's father because when they were still in Hogwarts he pretended to love her and want to be with her, but in reality he just needed to produce an heir fast because with his death eater lifestyle, death could come at any second, and Draco hoped his fathers would come fast. Draco's father needed an heir first of all because he wanted someone to follow his footsteps as a death eater and secondly because the Malfoy's were the richest family in wizarding England and the last thing he wanted to happen with all of that money was for the ministry to get their hands on it.

"Were trying to get her to steal the answers key to McGonagall's test tomorrow and she thinks she is going to get caught." Colin said from where he lazily ran his fingers through Shadie's Dark Brown hair.

"Your wasting your time if you think that muggle lover is brave enough to sneak around behind McGonagall's back. She's to afraid people will think even lower of her family than they already do if she gets caught." Draco said with the evilest smirk he could manage to get across his lips. Draco, being a Malfoy, had it pounded into from when he was young that the Weasleys were no good. Draco never really understood why, being as they were a pureblood family that went back almost as far as his did but, he decided he would just accept it rather than take the time to get to know any of them to find out.

Ginny jumped up from where she was sitting against the tree and yelled, " Draco Malfoy you are the most inconsiderate bastard I have ever had the displeasure of meeting, and do you honestly think you have any room to talk about my family when your Death Eater of a father is almost at the top of the auror's most wanted list!" and with that Ginny stormed off to her dormitory.

"Draco! Why did you have to start with her? I thought you agreed not to say anything to her if she doesn't say anything to you! She is my best friend and if you want to keep seeing me as much as you do your gonna have to stop acting like that." Shadie said with an attitude,even though no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't stay mad at Draco or Blaise very long.

"Look, I'm sorry for starting with her, she just makes it so easy and I've always been told the Weasleys were no good as long as I can remember so can you honestly blame me for not liking her, shadie." Draco said in a sinciere voice that not many people ever had the pleasure of hearing.

"I'll talk to you guys later I really need to go talk to Ginny." Shadie said as she got up to go to Gryffindor tower leaving Colin, Blaise and Draco behind.

Colin stayed behind because even though Shadie was his girlfriend and Ginny was his best friend he thought some things he should just let them talk alone about.

"So, Colin, how have you been treating my little sister lately?" Blaise asked with a hint of wonder in his voice as he leaned back against the tree squinting his eyes at the bright sun.

"You know I don't know how she does it every time." Draco said more to himself than anyone else.

"Look draco the best thing for you to do is to tell Ginny your sorry, because you know Shadie is going to give you the cold shoulder until you do." Colin said as he looked out at all the people swimming in the lake and remembering what Shadie looked like in her bikini.

"Fine, but only for Shadie. And I'm not going to be happy about this." Draco said as he gathered his book bag and stood up to follow them to Gryffindor tower. Draco hated a lot of things and saying sorry was definitely one of them.

Blaise and Draco followed Colin to Shadie and Ginny's room through the back way into their private dorm so nobody would see them,even though everyone knew Shadie Blasie and Draco were all family they still didn't want to see any Slytherins going into Gryffindor, not that Blaise or Draco would care, but they did it because they didn't want Shadie to have to explain to McGongall why Slytherins were in Gryffindor.

XOXO

Ginny sat on her big four poster bed flipping through one of the many scrapbooks Shadie had made for her. Shadie loved making scrapbooks with the pictures Colin took and she often made them for Ginny.

She was thinking about stealing the answer key and honestly considering it as she looked around her room and was thinking about how much bigger it was than her room at the burrow. Shadie's family is one of the wealthiest aside from the Malfoys in the wizarding world, so of course Shadie's parents had bought her a double suite which she shared with Ginny. Shadie's dad didn't like Ginny but it had nothing to do with her it was just her family name, but Shadie's mother loved Ginny just as if she were her own daughter and thought that everyone should be treated equally and not ostracized about something they could not change nor help.

In the suite they had their own personal common room, the common room was big but not as big as the Gryffindor common room. It was decorated in crème, beige, and maroon. It had a big cherry wood fireplace with a big mirror with gold outline around it above it. It had two big crème color couches ,worth more than Ginny's dad made in a year, with maroon throw pillows on them. Bookshelves lined two of the four walls in the room, one bookshelf had any book you could ever imagine in it, and the other bookshelf was dedicated completely to all the scrapbooks Shadie makes. On one of the other walls, there was a life-size portrait of Ginny and Shadie in their bikinis at the lake by the burrow. Colin had taken the picture of them over the summer when him and Shadie had visited Ginny.

Behind the portrait was a secret entrance that they had, with the help of Hermione, made without any of the teachers knowledge. The entrance was used for basically anytime Ginny and Shadie wanted to go out after curfew, and it was also used so Shadie could sneak Blaise and Draco into her room. Shadie was very close to Draco and Blaise, and even though Draco was her cousin he acted more like another big brother. Since Blaise and Draco were in Slytherin and a year above Shadie they never got to see each other much, which is why Shadie came up with the hidden entrance.

"Ginny bug, you just have to learn to ignore Draco, don't worry about him." Shadie said as she walked in and sat on Ginny's bed moving her hair out of her eyes for her. "Come on get up, you can help me make a scrapbook with the new pictures Colin just gave me." Shadie said trying to sound enthusiastic. Even though Ginny didn't show it Shadie knew that deep down it hurt her when people talked bad about her family

Just then Blaise, Draco, and Colin walked into Ginny's room. Colin walked in and sat next to Shadie on Ginny's bed, Blaise went and sat in the chair in front of her vanity where all her make-up and hair products were, and Draco just stood in the doorway looking exceedingly uncomfortable. Ginny studiously ignored all four of their gazes as she continued to flip through her scrapbook.

"Draco, don't you have something to say?" Blaise said in a stern voice that he hopped nobody would recognize. He really hated telling Draco what to do but sometimes he just needed to be pushed a little.

The room was quiet for what felt like a very long time until Draco finally said," I'm sorry." He said it so low that they barely heard him. You could tell that his pride was definitely getting to him and Draco Malfoy had a lot of pride when it came to saying sorry.

Ginny glared at him then in the sweetest voice you've ever heard she said "No worries, Malfoy. I'm over it, I don't let little things like that from little people like you bother me anymore." Ginny immediately looked back down at the scrapbook and began mindlessly flipping through it again.

"Ginny!" Colin said his voice dripping with warning. Colin knew Ginny's temper all to well and he knew that when she made the sweet voice to somebody she was pissed off at that she was about a minute away from pouncing on them.

"Fine, I'm sorry to." Ginny said sarcastically as she continued flipping through the scrapbook.

"Okay, now that we got that out of the way, Ginny have you thought anymore about that answer key?" Blaise said with a hopeful voice as he looked through all of Ginny's many hair and make-up products wondering what she did with all of them.

"Blaise I don't…" Shadie started to say but Ginny cut her off before she could finish.

"Actually yes I have, and I'll do it." Ginny said as she stood up and walked over to her closet and started flipping through her closet trying to find some clothes to wear.

"That's great Gin, but why are you changing clothes we still have one more class to go to." Shadie said as she watched Ginny pull out a pair of short blue jean shorts and a teal blue tank top out of her closet that she had bought, along with many other clothes, from working at the ice cream shop in Diagon Alley over the summer.

"If you haven't noticed yet we missed that class, and I need to be in comfortable clothes if I'm going to be sneaking into McGonagall's classroom." Ginny said as she walked into her bathroom to change clothes.

Shadie looked over on Ginny's nightstand at her lime green clock to see if they really had missed Advanced Transfiguration. That was the only class that she had with Ginny, Draco, Colin, and Blaise and was therefore her favorite class.

"Looks like were gonna get top marks on our first exam after all." Blaise said in a boastingly sort of voice as he got up to walk over to the door. "Well, I guess I'll see ya'll later, call us when you get the key."

"Where do you think your going?" Ginny said as she walked out of the bathroom and over to her vanity to fix her hair and touch up her make-up.

"What?" Blaise said with a very confused look on his face as he turned to face Ginny.

"We need a way to communicate."

"Yea, I still don't get it. What are you talking about?" Blaise said as he leaned against the doorframe.

"I mean a way for me to let ya'll know if I get caught or if I need someone to cause a distraction or something along those lines because if I get caught stealing the answers to a major exam they'll send me straight home and owl all my belongings." Ginny said as she rolled her eyes and put a charm on her hair to make it straight and shiny.

"I can help with that." Draco said with a sort of smirk as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a snitch. The snitch didn't look like a normal one, it was Green and in little silver letters said 'Draco Malfoy' on the side of it.

"What's that supposed to be?" Colin said from where he was sitting on the bed playing with Shadie's hands.

"It's a snitch, I made it myself." Draco said in a sort of bragging manner walking over and handing it to Shadie so she could look it over.

"I realize that, but what does it do." Ginny said a bit impatiently as she turned to face Draco for the first time since she had returned to the room. She couldn't help but notice how when the sun from the window hit him just right it made him glow. Ginny quickly found herself getting lost in his eyes and banished all of those thoughts that she was having.

"If you get caught or need help you simply write a message and stick it in the snitch and it will automatically appear in front of me, or whoever you tell it to." Draco said with a smirk as he noticed Ginny staring at him.

"Could you please go somewhere else to do that, like the hotel in Hogsmead." Ginny said trying not to laugh as she looked over trying to focus her attention on something other than Draco and seen Shadie and Colin snogging each other intimately on her bed.

"Shadie Lynn Zabini you better stop that right this instance! Just because I said I approved of him does not mean I want to see this kind of thing, you are still my baby sister." Blaise said standing up and turning around so he could avoid seeing his sister get up an walk into her room holding hands and laughing with Colin.

"Yea well I guess I better get going before McGonagall comes back in her classroom, right now she is in a meeting with Hermione's parents. They found the Daily Prophet in Hermione's room and read about the Death Eaters and they just about had a bloody heart attack." Ginny said taking the snitch from Draco and walking into Gryffindors common room smiling happily to herself as she noticed some of the stares she was getting.

Ginny walked down he corridor singing her new favorite song, Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects, that she had first heard on a muggle radio her dad had brought home as she started making her way to McGonagall's classroom.
