Chapter 7 – House Order
Startled by a loud noise Draco woke with a shock and due to his quick reflexes had his wand out ready with a curse just about to roll of his tongue. Seeing nothing ahead of him, he heard the sound again, cursing at his stupidity he allowed the wall to open and saw Vincent leaning against it just seconds before he fell through. Smirking to himself, Draco always found it amusing that Vincent and Gregory actually somehow sometimes managed to live up to their reputations as useless oafs. Knowing that they were exactly the opposite, he waited to hear what Vincent had to say.
Coughing slightly to distract Draco from the humiliating fall, he shuffled his feet and murmured,
"Draco, the sun set a few hours ago and dinner has just been announced. Just thought you'd like to know in case you didn't hear." Draco stared at Vincent, wondering if someone had used a Polyjuice Potion, he actually sounded as if he cared about what would happen.
Vincent fidgeted even more as he saw suspicion rise within Draco, grabbing him, Vincent dragged him out of his chambers and slammed him up against the wall.
"Look Draco, contrary to what you believe, we all care about her. She understood us tonight, she a Gryffindor saw through the Slytherin façade, she should be with us and we will protect her. The fact that you and Blaise obviously care for her just tops our decision. The house are waiting in the common room, we are all going down to dinner together in house order as was the tradition in Salazar's day. It shall be our announcement to the school not Dumbledore's; we will not hide her away!" Realising how much pressure he was putting on Draco's shoulders, Vincent released him but still treated him with the same penetrating glare as he had done before.
Bursting with pride for Ginevra, Draco was speechless. She had managed to turn an entire house of Slytherins into her sworn protectors just by one speech. Thoughtfully rubbing his shoulders where Vincent had probably left marks, he smiled at Vincent. Surprised to see Draco smile, Vincent frowned wondering whether he was being sarcastic.
"Relax Vincent, I'm glad the house have taken to her, it will make her little life so much easier. We shall be down soon, organise the house into the accustomed order, I leave you in charge. However, we shall do it the opposite way. So much more shocking if we changed it slightly, from high to low instead. Can you imagine their faces when they see Blaise, Ginevra and I lead the Slytherins into the Great Hall?" Both Vincent and Draco had identical grins on their faces as they thought of that satisfying image. Nodding his head, Vincent rushed down the passage towards the flight of steps leading up to the common room.
Walking back through the wall, he flicked his hand and it closed behind him. Draco stood where he was while his eyes feasted on the sight in front of him. Directly opposite from him were Blaise and Ginevra sleeping blissfully unaware of their audience. At some point while they had been asleep, Ginevra had shifted up the sofa and had nestled her head in the crook of Blaise's shoulder. He on the other hand instead of remaining sitting up had stretched himself horizontally across the sofa leaving hardly any space for Ginevra. This left her to be lying half draped over him. Brilliant strands of wavy dark red hair were spilt all over Blaise's chest and her arm was wrapped around his waist. One of his hands was holding onto her waist too, the other one tangled in her hair. The serenity that seemed to radiate from them had stunned Draco so hard. He had never seen anything so beautiful without thinking of a lewd thought. Yet again another surge of jealousy shot through Draco's heart as he saw Blaise with his little one. Why did she not want to be that close to him, for Merlin's sake, it wasn't if he was screwing with her, it wouldn't be him that was going to make her heart break.
Getting to grips with his situation, he thought of a way to wake them up so they would be embarrassed with themselves when they awoke in each others arms, though it had only been for a couple of hours.
Blaise, Oh darling Blaise, its time to get up, come on sweetie-pie, GET UP NOW!
Draco sniggered quietly as he heard Blaise groan and started to shift.
Little one, Ginevra, its time for dinner now, wake up little one it's alright everyone's waiting for you.
As he saw Ginevra shiver at the thought of dinner, she began to stir. As she opened her eyes she found herself looking into a pair of dark brown eyes which seemed to hide so much yet tell her so much too. Feeling like she was about to sink into the pits of oblivion, she felt Blaise pull her up towards her face and softly kiss her. Sighing beneath his lips, she smiled and could feel him smiling too. Reaching up and over him, she slid her thighs around his legs so that she was straddling him. A groan filled with yearning escaped from Blaise as he shoved his hand through her silky hair and held her tightly against his lips as their pulses were beating impossibly fast and neither of them could hear anything above the roar of their blood as it rushed through their bodies. As their bodies meshed together, so close that they were sharing each other's breaths, a stream of power ignited in each one. Their core magic had intermingled and as it flowed into each other and their bodies slammed together, a large explosion interrupted them. Throwing her off him, Ginevra and Blaise were on their feet in a second with their wands out.
"Its nice to see that you are aware of something while you're attempting to screw each other senseless" Draco said languidly as a white mist was descending all around him. His wand was in his hand, and from his disgusted expression it was clear that he had made the explosion. He glanced as Ginevra and saw that finally she had the sense to blush, at least something embarrassed her.
I think you lost the bet mate, I highly doubt she's a virgin after all that passion I just experienced.
She probably just woke up from dreaming about me Zabini, don't forget that it was you who admitted that she wants me more than you.
Blaise growled at that shocking Ginevra who thought that nothing but an awkward silence had just passed. Draco smiled and stretched out his hand, without hesitating, Ginevra walked towards him and took it.
"Little one, the house are waiting to escort you to dinner. I just got a message from them; they all fully support you and are calling upon the ancient tradition of house order." Blaise was amazed at this and Ginevra shook her head in disbelief, Salazar's house orders were so infamous that they were immortalised in myths and legends surrounding Hogwarts. Now they were invoking an old untouched custom since Grindelwald just for her, she could feel tears in the back of her eyes.
Acknowledging her reaction immediately, Draco bent down and whispered in her ear,
"No you don't, Ginevra, you are a Slytherin now. We do not show emotions or weaknesses, both are failings in our eyes, if you want to thank them, lift your head up and walk proudly in front of them as the new Slytherin Princess." Startled by his gesture and the new title he had placed upon her, she became determined to be seen as worthy of Slytherin.
Draco and Blaise disappeared through a door leaving Ginevra standing alone in the common room. After waiting a couple of minutes she wondered where they had got to. Silently approaching the door which was slightly ajar, what she saw took her breath away. Both Blaise and Draco were standing in front of a huge set of wardrobe doors. The wardrobe seemed to be backless, there were rows and rows of robes just swirling around until they stopped and the Slytherin formal robes flew out into each of their hands. Gasping as she saw Draco topless, she ravished everything in sight with her eyes. His torso was so elegant and when he twisted to pull on the robes the ripples in his tight abdomen unleashed Ginevra's lust. Merlin, she was shaking from desire. Ginevra could not understand what was happening to her, every time she saw Draco she wished that he wanted to be with her yet when she was with Blaise she seemed to forget everything while he was kissing her.
Creeping away from the door so that she wouldn't be caught she stared at the remaining doors around Draco's sitting room. Which one was hers? She now knew that they expected her to dress up, sighing to herself, she realised that she was truly a Slytherin now, usually she wouldn't have cared about how she looked when she went down to dinner.
Looking at herself critically in one of Draco's many mirrors around the sitting room, Ginevra flicked her wand over her and transformed her school robes into formal robes, if she had left anything out one of the boys could do it for her. Her black school robes lengthened at the back to leave a slight train, the sleeves widened and fell to the floor in the sharp folds. The wearable material of the school robes used to anything being performed on it changed into the softest black silk and clung to her figure attractively. The collars on the robe became higher so that her head was almost always up. Satisfied with the transformation, she knew that she lacked something. "Imagio Perfectare" she muttered under her breath and after a swish of her wand, her eyes became outlined with faint green kohl and her eyelids were dusted with a slight green shimmer. Clear lipgloss was applied on her lips, and her skin was left without blush. Ginevra liked what the charm had done, it had left her skin pale making her look the part of nobility, whilst her eyes and lips were defined to stop her from looking white-washed. Green and silver thread came pouring out of her wand and started to embroider itself in the hem at least an inch thick. The final touch was an everlasting charm on her train to leave a trail of green and silver glitter wherever she walked, smirking to herself loving her own inventions she spun around to see Blaise and Draco staring in wordless appreciation.
As they made their way up the stairs into the common room, Ginevra slightly in the lead and the two boys just behind her on either side, they saw the square of the house order. Pansy, Vincent and Gregory were in the front line, waiting for them, they were all stunned at the how beautiful Blaise, Ginevra and Draco were as the stood side to side. Taking their places as the leaders, they stood just before the square in a line of their own. Raising their right arms in the air holding their wands, the Slytherins began to chant and Ginevra tried to remember the lines she has read in Hogwarts, A History.
Blood of our ancestors
Hear us now
Invoke the sacred order
Protect the pure
Wrap us in your essence
As we uphold
The rights of Slytherin.
Out of their wands came pouring forth a silvery green mist which settled upon each Slytherin making them glow slightly.
Marching out of their common room and through the dungeons they finally made their way to the Great Hall. Ginevra took in a deep breath and felt a slight cooling inside her body, turning her head to Blaise she smiled as she realised their magic was still entwined. Shaking her hair back so it fell to her waist at the back, they waited for the Great Hall doors to swing open as it became aware of the old magic.
Making their entrance, they stood still for a few seconds to let the houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw understand what was happening. Whispers shot through the air at an alarming rate, the loud gasps and the intakes of breath were almost comic as the school waited for their next move with an anticipated breath.
No-one noticed Pansy's wand come out and whisper an incantation towards the Slytherin House table. The benches became elaborately carved chairs and in the centre facing the school were three larger antiquated gold thrones carved with snakes twisted in to the gold. The table was covered with a large tablecloth with green embroidery on it. A centrepiece of a dragon, sword and rose all intertwined together was set in front of the thrones. It was a tribute to their leaders, a Malfoy, Zabini and a Weasley. This shocking confirmation to the school that Ginevra had indeed joined the Slytherins caused uproar within the School.
As they took there places, the green essence surrounding each Slytherin faded and they sat as one fluidly as if they were in a dance. The air authority and superiority hung over them overwhelming the rest of the school and even more shocking was seeing Ginevra Weasley take the centre throne between Malfoy and Zabini and then proceeded to look at Dumbledore with a piercing gaze and then nodded her head sharply.
Dumbledore stood and opened his mouth to speak. A shocked silence ensued, as the school just saw that Ginevra Weasley had given their Headmaster, the protector of the Light, permission to speak. The Slytherins hid their smirks at Ginevra's audacity.
"As most of you have eyes you can see there is a new addition to Slytherin House. It is my duty to inform you that there has been a house change. Lady Ginevra Weasley is now a member of Slytherin House and has been accepted by Professor Snape and Slytherin, therefore I expect you to also accept this change. People change through time, sometimes so much that they grow other qualities and it is with thesethat Lady Weasley nowfeels that she should belong to Slytherin." Dumbledore announced loudly, not a sound could be heard as he sat down at the High Table and continued to eat.
Suddenly a growl echoed across the Hall. All eyes shifted to the Gryffindor Table where the noise came from. Ron Weasley had turned an awful red as he saw his sister staring at him through cold emotionless eyes. She had turned into a bloody Slytherin.
Pushing Harry out of the way he stormed across the table, hastily followed by Hermione and Harry. As he advanced towards the Slytherin Table, the Slytherins all stood up and faced him while Ginevra stayed seated with Blaise and Draco beside her.
Ron found himself face to face with a wall of menacing Slytherins clutching their wands. They were covering Ginny from him. Losing his temper, he whipped out his wand, and his cheeks impossibly became an even brighter red.
"Ginevra! What the bloody hell are you doing! Get away from the Slytherins now, you're a Gryffindor, I swear when I tell Mum you'll be sorry, you better be under a curse!" Ron was screaming as loud as he could, and lunged forward to break the Slytherin wall as he lost control of his senses.
The green essence around them glowed and as soon asRon came into contact with the Slytherins, he was flung against the Hufflepuff table as the essence defended the Slytherin order. There was chaos in the Hall, as goblets were knocked over and Ron was sprawled across a side of the Hufflepuff table covered in the evening's dinner. Snarling he got to his feet as Hermione rushed towards him to help. Knocking her aside, he rushed to the Slytherin wall again, just before he attempted to break it, someone spoke shattering the silent tension which had spread throughout the houses.
"My Lords and Ladies, please be seated, I thank you for your protection, but it is my duty to fight my own battles." Ginevra said delicately whilst abiding by the ancient courtesies which had long died out. Smiling at her address, which further proved that she understood their ways, they slowly seated themselves, but ready to interfere in case she was harmed in anyway.
Ron stood in front of the table shaking with rage and Harry to his right was staring at her as if she was some monster. Refusing to be provoked unless it was necessary, Ginevra showed the school a serene calm face devoid of emotion. She gracefully stood up and as she did all the male Slytherins started to do the same, when she held out her hand to prevent them. Understanding, they all sat down except Draco and Blaise.
Make sure she isn't harmed Blaise, that idiot has already done enough, I can feel her pain inside her head, she's just fighting it all back.
Believe me, Draco, if the teachers weren't waiting for us to cause trouble, they would have been dead long before we would have reached this point.
Ginevra, looked over at both and saw their determination, it was their battle too. Her lips started to curve as she smirked.
"Potter, I fail to see the relevance of your little visit over to my house table, my brother I can understand, however, since you have never helped me I would advise you to leave before Draco or Blaise feel the need to-"
"That's not true Ginny! Come on, you know Harry's always been there for us, he saved your life for merlin's sake, he's part of our bloody family! Please, Ginny, come back, what will the twins say or Mum and Dad, please they've probably obliviated your memory or something, you know what snakes they are." Pleading with his sister, Ron looked lost as the person in front of him looked no longer like the sweet innocent youngest child and only daughter of the Weasleys.
The Slytherins on the other hand, hissed as he had unwittingly insulted them and thought that their Princesswould be so foolish as to have had her memory wiped. Once again Ginevra prevented them from retaliating.
"I would be careful, if I were you dear brother, insulting the Slytherins is an extremely idiotic thing to do, though I'm sure you think it is brave, I can not keep stopping them from slaughtering you, and after all it is their right. And you, Potter, the courageous and loyal Gryffindor, the boy-who-lived, isn't it a joke that you are here, you have never ever thought once about anyone else, its all about you. You didn't save me, I just happened to be there, a convenient damsel in distress I believe." Ginevra sneered as she saw Harry flinch and Ron looked as if he were about to faint. She could hear the Slytherins snigger at her words, and she felt Blaise's magic surge through her while hers followed it through. She tensed as she felt it radiate from her, the green essence they were all wrapped in, started to vibrate and glow even brighter around her, even the Slytherins were shocked. Draco and Blaise just stared at her power.
Becoming angrier and colder she slowly walked up to Harry, as McGonagall and Dumbledore half-stood from the High Table ready tostopherbut they couldn't move away from the table. The Slytherins stood to help her, but found that they were being restricted. Draco and Blaise found that their feet were rooted to the floor. Struggling against the invisible barriers, they looked up to see green and silver wisps of power were circling everyone in the Great Hall except their little one, Weasley and Potter.
Shit, Blaise, she's sent out the power in her and the order to bind us all. Look even Dumbledore can't break it. She's doing this alone, shit how can she do this, we need to help her!
Stop struggling, Draco you'll lose your magic, and we'll need it to help her. She's already channelling mine.
What, how did you – no screw that, I don't want to know. What do you mean help her, if you haven't noticed, we can't move!
Through her mind, you fool, we've done it before, she'll listen to you calm her down, I've never seen her so furious, she's going to kill him.
Shame we have to prevent it! Concentrating hard on a memory of Ginevra he contacted her through his mind. Ginevra, little one, listen to me, you have to release us. You're power has done this by mistake, its too strong, I know you can't reply but just leave Potter alone, he's not worth it, if he's hurt you that bad, Blaise and I will rip him apart but not now, little one!
Do not patronise me Draco, I know what I'm doing, nothing was a mistake, you forget who you speak to.
Shocked that she replied, let alone the reply, Draco drew back form his mind, and turned to Blaise confused but unable to transfer his scrambled thoughts into words.
"Your beloved Dumbledore can't reach you now Potter! You should be shaking now Potter, believe me I am worse than Voldemort!" Laughing evilly, Ginevra pointed her wand at his heart when Ron shouted,
"Ginny don't, what are you doing, you're turning into one of those death-eaters" spitting out the last words, Ginevra turned on him furiously "Death-eaters, Ron! Death-eaters! They don't exist anymore you fool, they were for Voldemort, but you've vanquished him have you not, so stop trying to make new threats just so you and scar-head can save the world again!"
Trembling with fury and pain, she lifted her wand arm to the ceiling and shrieked, "Receptaculum" She and all the Slytherins suddenly disappeared from the Hall without even moving. The threads of power vanished freeing the captive students and teachers.
McGonagall went bright red with anger that Ginevra Weasley had been one of her house and had behaved like that, so she turned on Snape to accuse him. Dumbledore just sat lost in thought.
"What have you done to Ginny? How could you Severus, she's turned evil like the rest of your students, her family will be heartbroken!" She sat down sobbing at the loss of the little red head while Snape scornfully looked down his nose at her.
"Cease your wailing Minerva, if you had cared for her, she wouldn't have wanted a house change or have argued with her own brother. You didn't notice that one of your house was that upset, it's nothing to do with Ginevra, its entirely your own fault. I haven't done anything to her, I only told her that I accepted her for Slytherin, she has made the changes by herself. It was she who cast that spell for refuge, and it was she who led my house back to Slytherin. She considers Slytherin her house, so I suggest you get over it." Snarling, Snape swept out of the side door, with his black robes billowing out behind him bursting with pride for his house. He hadn't expected them to come in house order, and Ginevra had displayed an awe invoking stream of concentrated power. He wondered if they could harness it in any possible way...
AN - Hope you like the house order idea, I got that from my own boarding school and just combined it with magic - please give me your opinions on it!
