OPPORTUNITIES

Previously:

"Edward stop stalking me", yelled Ginny, making all the people in the restaurant stare at them. Her eyes were slits and her face red with anger, the sight was intimidating enough ... The tall man who presumably was Edward, continued to plead his case to her when anyone with an ounce on sense would have turned and fled.

"I meant what I said last night, I don't want your damn job nor do I want you, and before I hex you get out of my sight".

At the other corner of the room, "Interesting" was all Blaise could manage, at her outburst.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next Day at breakfast:

"So did you drop in at Clarence & Johnson yesterday?" Hermione asked while drinking her coffee.

"NO, well I couldn't Edward kind of butted into my lunch and ruined my day. God can't that man take no for an answer I was so mad at him that I totally forgot," hurried Ginny hopeful to avoid any lecture.

"Well he really cares about you is all I can say," started Hermione, but Ginny was saved from the lecture as the post arrived just then. But the relief was short lived as Hermione continued, "Look Ginny I am concerned about you, its high time you look for a good and decent guy and settle down, basically a stand up guy like Edward, don't roll your eyes he was fine."

"No he was boring and that is it"

"I don't like him.. I don't love him and I could care less for that job…"

"Ginny lower your voice" cut in Ron, as he entered ready to go for work at the Ministry. Wherein he and Hermione worked as Aurors, Ron was into active fieldwork whereas Hermione had risen to the position of the head of the operations, big surprise there for the ever-over achiever.

As Ginny opened her mouth to snap at Ron, the owl deciding it was ignored long enough started to nip at her finger, irritably she snatched the letter from it and tore it open.

"What is it Gin?" Ron asked alarmed at the look on Ginny's face, grabbing Hermione's cup for a sip.

"Nothing a letter from Blaise Zabini" replied Ginny still staring at the letter.

"Whew, Ron you needn't spray me" Ginny said annoyed as he choked in shock.

"What does it say", managed Hermione desperately trying to control her laughter.

"Nothing much just asking me to meet him at his office around noon if it isn't too much trouble to discuss a business proposition and to confirm the same with the damn owl", replied Ginny, glaring at the owl, rubbing her soar finger.

--------- a few hours later ---------

Ginny was in the waiting room, well in Mr. Zabini's private waiting room which was attached to his chambers, the one he used for very important people which his secretary had informed her in a tone that made it very clear she didn't think Ginny belong to that category.

She was wondering if this was good idea, though Zabini was not a death-eater still it was not as if he was in love with muggles or muggle-loving fools as her. Though she had half a mind to throttle the muggle-born she loved the most for the scene at the breakfast, god sometimes Hermione was so critical and suspicious and she could make Ginny feel a hundred times worse with a disapproving glance, than Ron or Molly with all their bellowing and guilt.

Absently running her hand through her hair she reflected on her relationship with Hermione and all they had been through together, they were practically sisters even before Ron had married her.

She sighed and looked at her watch wondering how long it was going to take. On the other hand, maybe it was a power ride for the Slytherin to keep her waiting, wanker she cursed.

Unknown to her, Blaise Zabini had been watching her for over ten minute with a smirk on his face.

Sneak Preview:

"Draco Malfoy as in the ferret-boy", stuttered Ginny.

"Yes the one and only and its' an opportunity of a lifetime", replied Blaise though his trademark smirk was pasted on his face; his lips were turning into the beginning of a smile.

Wonder what the opportunity of a lifetime he offered Ginny and what it has to with Draco !

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! It only gets better !
