Her Third

Blaise's features froze, the rain fell down on his head, and if possible it made his hair even darker.

Slowly he released Ginny from his grip.

She knew she should be careful, even scared. She should leave, before it was too late.

But something in his eyes made her stay.

Slowly, a smirk grew on his lips. "Of course," he said and nodded. "I should have know. You are just little girl after all."

"I beg your pardon?" Ginny exclaimed. Did he just intend that she was naïve?

"He kisses you, and then you're madly in love. Let me tell you one thing little red: it doesn't work like that."

"Oh, sod off will you? You don't know nothing about what's been going on between the two of us."

Blaise arched her a brow. "You, and Draco Malfoy? I don't think so honey, he would have told me."

Ginny laughed. "The day a Malfoy fully confide in a Zabini, I'd like to see that." She made a pause and watched Blaise for a moment. She'd clearly hit a weak spot, and more was to come. "Hey Zabini," she said and grabbed his tie, pulling his face down to her level. "have you ever heard the story of how it came that Ginny Weasley all of a sudden showed any interest in Blaise Zabini?"

"What are you talking about Weasley?" Blaise exclaimed and pulled himself away from her. "Have you gone nuts?"

"It's really neat," Ginny continued, and all of the sudden her lips was forming into a smirk. "if I remember it right, it was a late night, right here at the pitch. First, they had a fight, as always. But then he reminded her that they had known each other for over a month now. One month, and they hadn't even intoduced themselves. She stood up and reached out his hand to him; 'Hi, I'm Ginny Weasley. Pleased to meet you', 'Ginny Weasley, I'm Draco Malfoy. Oh, and I dare you.'. It was just one dare among many others, but yet it was different. He wanted her to seduce Blaise Zabini. A week later she snogged him, and that's how the story goes."

She lapsed into silence, tilted her head, and looked at Blaise.

He shooked his head in silence. "Go Weasley, you might want to congratulate him."

Ginny smiled, this was the Blaise Zabini she knew existed somewhere there, under the thick layers of protection. With a chuckle she stood on her tiptoes and gave him a peck on his mouth. "You're my third Blaise, and that's a good number."

She backed off, giving him a wink before turning around and running through the mud and darkness towards the Pitch's exit.

It wasn't long until she was there. She stopped by a tree and waited patiently for the players to come out, not giving any notice to the drak-haired girl who was making her way from the school to the Pitch.

After a few minutes He came drawling out, his team behind him. Ginny hesitated, did she really dare to do this? But she had not much to lose, and with that thought she began her way towards Draco.

"YOU ARE, FREAKIN' FABULOUS!" a shrill voice suddenly called out, and Ginny stopped and turned around, only to see Pansy Parkinson running towards Draco and threwing himself into his arms. "And I Love you!"

Draco smirked and kissed her. It all looked like a fairy-tale, the rain pouring down on them as he lifted her up and she twisted her legs around his waist. Even though it was far between Ginny and the Slytherin crowd, she could clearly see what Draco answered. She'd been watching him too long to miss that. "I sure love you too Pansy."

She backed off. Chills were running down her spine along with the rain. A frustrated sound left her throat as she turned her heels and bolted off, right into the arms of Blaise. She pushed him away from her and ran away, but after a few hundred metres he once again caught her.

"Let go off me!" she screamed and punched him. "I told you, I don't want you!"

"Ginny," Blaise said calmly, not letting her go. "calm down, you have to listen to me."

"No!" she exclaimed, the tears was running down her face and was mixed with the drops of rain. "Leave me be!"

She let her foot shove the way, and kicked him a few inches below the knee. Immediately he let go of her, kneeling from the pain. Ginny fell to the ground, into the mud, but she crawled up on her feet again and with one glance on Blaise she set off.

"Ginny!" Blaise yelled, he had to explain. "It's not what you saw, Draco and Pansy, they are not...not real!"

But it was too late. Ginny was too far away to hear him.

Okay.

I'm longing for the next chapter... I so want it out of my head and down on paper. It's been in there for so long.

Review while you can.
