Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Harry Potter or the characters in it. It all belongs to JK Rowling and respective companies. The bits where Ginny acts like the Architect all come from the Matrix Reloaded, of which I don't own anything. The quotes from the Architect I got from Also, 'Bothering Snape' comes from the Potter Puppet Pals flash cartoons, which you can find on Newgrounds. I don't own any of that, either.

Note - I deleted this chapter and reposted it because of the whole "Ginevra v. Virginia" thing. I wrote this chapter before J.K Rowling officially said that her name was Ginevra and I guess I kept forgetting to fix it.

Chapter Two: Days 5 - 9

DAY FIVE 6. If he ignores you, get hysterical and tell him that baby Charlene is his and you won't stand for him to deny her, then run out of the room.

The weekend, and the subsequent lack of classes and any childishness from Virginia Weasley seemed to have rejuvenated Snape, for as class started on the following Monday he advanced into the dungeon with all of his old regality and menace. Ginny told herself not to let it get to her - she still had the image of him in his underwear in her head. Though she didn't know how he would deal with her on this item.

It began normally. Snape lectured them on insubordinate heart's breaths, told them he had disposed of all of them, and commanded them to turn to page 190 and begin to read about potions for health purposes saying that even they couldn't mess up something so simple.

After a few minutes of reading, Ginny's hand shot straight up into the air. As she expected him to, Snape ignored her. She kept her hand up even after ten more minutes had gone by with no reaction from Snape. For good measure, she started bouncing up and down in her chair and leaning over the desk with her head down and her hand practically hitting Matthew Burgess in the head.

Snape stood up when the class was half over. Ginny banged her other hand on her table three times and started moaning.

"Close your books and - " Snape began, but was cut off by Ginny screaming, "You lied to me, Severus! You told me you would always be there! And you KNOW baby Charlene's yours! I won't stand for this! I won't stand for you denying little Charlene! You should see her, she looks just like you, right down to the beak for a nose . . . I won't stand for it!"

With a last fake choking sob, Ginny got up and ran out of the room to a resounding applause from the rest of the class.

DAY SIX 7. Wear sunglasses and use a lot of big words like 'anomaly' and 'paradox'. Say ergo a lot. Insist upon bringing your own comfy leather swirly chair to sit in and announce that heretofore you wish to be referred to as the Architect. Tell Snape he's interfering with the System.

Much to Ginny's surprise, it hadn't been that hard to obtain a leather swirly chair. She and Mandy and Rose had approached Hermione the day before after dinner and asked if she could magic one up for them, when she got a bit snappish.

"Isn't it obvious?" she'd said, as though it really were the most obvious thing in the world. The three of them shook their heads in sync with each other. "Just ask the Room of Requirement for one."

So they'd left the common room quite quickly and did as Hermione had said. And lo, when they opened the door to the Room they had been almost stunned into disbelief. Instead of just one chair, they were lined up wall to wall to fill the entirety of the Room. Mandy received quite a shock when she went to grab one and it told her, quite politely, to mind the leather.

Eventually they did find one that didn't talk, but Ginny's mood had soured the next morning when she dragged it down four flights of stairs only to remember that she could use magic to float it down to the dungeons, and with that thought she came up with another idea.

Snape himself wasn't expecting to see Ginevra Weasley float into his classroom, sitting on a rather comfy-looking leather chair wearing supportless sunglasses and a expression that told everyone very clearly, 'BOW TO ME. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.' Caught, for a moment, off-guard, he shot her a glare that said, also very clearly, 'I LOVE CANDY.'

Ginny was floated over to her table and let down, a bit too roughly for her taste, behind it. Mandy stood next to her, arms crossed like a bodyguard.

"Miss Weasley, would you mind telling the class exactly why you have elevated yourself so far above them?" Snape asked malevolently.

"You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not," Ginny answered, in a snotty monotone. "You should also know that, heretofore, I wish to be referred to as the Architect."

Snape chose to ignore this. He began to give out instructions for the class, but Ginny spoke over him.

"Quite right, Severus. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly's systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations."

"Virginia Weasley, do shut up. You should all have read the - "

"Systemic anamoly!" Ginny shouted.

" - pages I assigned yesterday."

"Apropos, you assign us work to facilitate the paradox of issuing control to one being, and not another. The quintessential delusion of having choice was fundamentally perfect, however, as people are flawed - especially you, Severus - it was rejected."

Again, Snape tried speaking. He had barely opened his mouth when Ginny cut in with, "Ergo!"

Much to his chagrin, Snape found that every time he tried to speak a certain Weasley would interrupt him with a shrill screach of 'Ergo!' After several attempts at being heard over her harping and being foiled once again, ('Integral anamoly!') he, quite literally, lost his rag.

"Miss Weasley, if you are quite thoroughly amused by now then I would appreciate it if you would allow me to finish!" he all but screamed at her.

Ginny remained calm and aloof for a few moments, before saying in the same snotty voice, "Concordantly, it has come to my attention that you are interfering with the system. Good-bye."

DAY SEVEN 8. During meal times, continuously go up to him and ask, 'Are you going to finish that?' If he says yes, take it anyway. If he says no, nod wisely and walk away. If he ignores you, ask again. If he still ignores you, repeat the process.

Ginny figured that the eight item on the list would most likely be the least effective, as the Potions class earlier that day had gone by without anything to remark about, unless you counted the fact that Snape treated the Gryffindors worse than he normally did. This was the first item to be completed outside the classroom, she reflected, though she couldn't decide whether that would make it more or less difficult.

Mandy and Rose were on either side of her, and she noticed that their end of the table seemed to be more full than usual, but she ignored this as she got out the list and reviewed what she was supposed to do.

Just as she was about to get up to bother Snape, she found herself face-to-face with Hermione.

"Ginny, everybody is talking about you. What do you think you're doing?" she asked, and it was obvious from her expression that she was more than a little annoyed.

"Bothering Snape!" Ginny answered.

Hermione sighed. "Ron is about to lose it, you know. And personally I don't think you should be doing this either. It's only a matter of time before your mother finds out, and you could get into loads of trouble even before that happens!"

For a moment Ginny paused. She hadn't considered how her mother would react, but on consideration she thought she could pretty much weasle her way out of punishment when it came to that.

"Could you excuse me for a moment Hermione?" Ginny said, more of a statement than a question, and she fluttered off with an insane grin on her face.

She bounced up to the staff table and then turned towards Snape. She stopped in front of him and looked up at him, trying her very best to look like a Girl Scout selling cookies. Snape glared down at her, and Ginny was very alarmed to see that his breakfast seemed to be moving.

Ignoring how illogical her act would seem, Ginny pointed at something particularly revolting and asked, "Are you going to eat that?"

Snape waited a moment before answering. Then he said, "Yes."

"Okay," Ginny answered, then reached up and took the plate away in one motion so that he couldn't stop her. Snape was left staring after her guilessly as she walked away with his breakfast.

When she got back to the Gryffindor Table, many students gathered round to look at her findings.

"Oh, that's disgusting!"

"Is it moving?"

"Oh my God! It blew a kiss at me!"

After a few more choruses of, "I bet it makes him constipated, and that's why he's so evil" Ginny cloaked the food with a simple spell, announcing that she would send it to Gred and Forge so that they could do experiements on it, then made her way with a very pronounced stride back up to the staff table.

Snape was already glaring at her before she reached the table. In fact, he seemed to be dreading her arrival. She stopped in front of him as before, and looked up with glowing admiration.

"Are you going to finish that?" she asked, pointing, her finger almost in his food.

He slowly looked from the food then back up to meet her eyes.

"No."

Ginny nodded wisely and walked away.

And she was very pleased to see that the next morning, Snape was conspicuously absent from the staff table.

DAY EIGHT 9. Say 'doom' every time he walks by.

It was Mandy's idea to leave Potions free of bothering Snape the next day, and instead seek him out in the corridors and such. "Besides," she reasoned, "it will be anonymous and then it'll piss him off more."

They saw him first in the hallway near the History of Magic classroom. Mandy nearly wet herself with excitement when she first sighted him, then grabbed Ginny's arm and began pulling her towards the greasy slimeball. For the next few minutes, Ginny was dragged up and down the hallway in pursuit of making Snape as angry as possible.

"Doom . . . "

"Doom!"

"Doooooooooooooooooooooom!"

"Doomy doom doom . . . "

"If you insufferable beasts are not in your classes at once, I will hex you into oblivion! I will hex so horrifically your abominations of parents will feel it!"

As they fled the hallway, caught up in the swarm of students trying to escape Snape's wrath, Ginny noted with annoyance that Mandy was running much faster than she was.
