The next morning, Ginny awoke to Bellatrix shaking her roughly. Ginny yawned as she rubbed her eyes.

"W-W-What is it?" She asked.

"Lessons start in half an hour girl, so get ready!" Ginny blearily opened an eye and stared at Bellatrix.

"I thought Slytherins didn't care about school work" she muttered in a tired voice.

"The only Slytherins who don't care about school work are the ones who think extremely highly of themselves" Narcissa's voice called out from the bathroom. Ginny mumbled something incoherent as she reluctantly got out of bed and dragged herself into the bathroom to get ready for her first lesson in the past.

By the time Ginny had finished getting ready, she looked at herself in the mirror and frowned. She just didn't look right in Slytherin colours.

"Something wrong?" Narcissa asked as she surveyed Ginny with a thoughtful look on her face "You look fine"

Ginny irritatedly unbuttoned the top button of her blouse and fanned herself. Narcissa stared at her.

"What do you think you're doing?" she questioned.

"I can't have the top button done up, it literally chokes me" Ginny told her. Bellatrix giggled.

"If you go into lessons like that, all the boys will think that you're some sort of slut" Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Well, let them think that! It's not as if I'm going to strip in front of the whole of our class, is it?" Bellatrix and Narcissa both grimaced.

"Bad mental image Ginny!"

Ginny laughed at the two Black's. They really reminded her of her two best friends from the future.

"C'mon girls, let's go" Ginny said as she linked arms with Narcissa and Bellatrix as they made their way to their first class.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

The Marauders sat at the back of the class in irritation. Their first lesson was Potions with the Slytherins.

"Why does our first lesson have to be with the Slytherins?" Sirius whined "It's so annoying!" James nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, their Potions master stormed into the class. He was a bald man with narrowed eyes and a forever present scowl on his face. One thing was for sure: this man was not to be joked with.

"Get out your ingredients for the Veritaserum potion, NOW!" He barked. Without warning, the door flung open and Bellatrix, Narcissa and Ginny skidded in, gasping for breath.

"Sorry we're late Professor!" Bellatrix said breathlessly.

"Sit down and get out your ingredients for the truth potion" The Professor scowled, then he narrowed his eyes at Ginny "My name is Professor Musky" Ginny nodded, smiled sweetly and settled herself down between Bellatrix and Narcissa. She whispered something briefly to them, then took out the ingredients that she needed.

While they were all brewing their Potions, Ginny suddenly burst out laughing. Professor Musky rounded on her.

"Miss Weasley, would you care to enlighten me with what is amusing you so much?" he hissed. Ginny grinned.

"Oh, it's nothing Professor. I'm just a little insane; I tend to laugh at the most inappropriate times" Sniggers from the class erupted as Professor Musky scowled.

"Shut up all of you and get back to work!" Musky shouted. Everyone quickly did as they were told, when suddenly, Peter's potion exploded. Everyone ducked to avoid getting hit with the potion. Ginny, Narcissa and Bellatrix all burst out into hysterical laughter. Musky muttered a spell which cleaned up the potion, then he rounded on the girls.

"Miss Weasley, I don't see what is so funny?" he said coldly. Ginny smiled with a mischievous glint in her eyes. 

"Oh sir, I just love pranks!" she squealed. The Marauders glanced at each other in amazement; no one had ever dared to speak back to their potions professor without feeling intimidated.

Musky growled in annoyance at failing to scare the new student.

"Miss Weasley, is it safe to assume that you were the one that made Mr. Pettigrew's potion explode?" Ginny smiled and nodded. This teacher didn't scare her one bit; he couldn't hold a torch next to Snape.

"Yep, oh and sir? Are you trying to intimidate me? Because my old Potions master was exceptionally good at terrifying students, now he was brilliant at it, but I don't think that you're doing a very good job of scaring me" she told him.

"That's it! Get out of my class!" he yelled "Twenty points from Slytherin and detention Weasley!" Ginny held back laughter as she muttered "I'm so scared!" and with that said, she walked from the class, leaving everyone looking stunned. 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"Right, now that we've finished concocting the potions, I guess we need someone to be the guinea pig and try them" Musky said briskly, then he smirked "And I know just the person!" he turned to Lily.

"Evans, bring in Weasley!" he barked. Lily shakily made her way to the door and peeked round it. A few seconds later, Ginny appeared, looking bored and not in the least bit scared, yet on the inside she was shaking like mad. What had possessed her to be so disrespectful to a teacher? Even now, she was being disrespectful! It was so unlike her!

She sat down on a stool in front of the whole class, breathing evenly, which felt like a miracle to Ginny. Musky handed her a spoon with a clear liquid on it.

"Drink it" he demanded. The Marauders watched with worry. Musky was going to publicly humiliate her! Ginny swallowed the potion, then felt strangely as if she were floating. It felt as if she didn't have a care in the world!  

"What's your name?" Musky questioned.

"Virginia Weasley"

"And how old are you?"

"Fourteen, fifteen on Friday" she stated. Everyone stared. The girl in front of them was only fourteen? Why was she in fifth year? Musky smirked evilly.

"Who are your best friends?"

"My best friends are: Hermione Granger, Amanda Rogers and Harry Potter" she said, still in her trance. Musky raised an eyebrow as he looked to James quizzically. James merely shrugged; meanwhile Remus looked shocked with his eyes wide. His jaw had dropped as he stared at the girl in front of him. Musky grinned.

"Who do you fancy?"

Just as Ginny was about to answer, Bellatrix and Narcissa both stood up and screamed.

"Professor, that's invading someone's privacy! You can't do that!" Narcissa shrieked. Bellatrix nodded furiously in agreement. Musky stared at the two girls in amusement. He whipped out his wand and muttered a spell. Ginny shook her head as she came out of her daze.

"That'll be all, Miss Weasley, now go and sit down" he ordered. Ginny walked over to the two Black's, but while doing so, Musky turned around to write something on the board and Ginny stuck her tongue out at him. Everyone sniggered. The Marauders were all extremely amused with the new girl; she had guts that were for sure. Another reason why she should've been put in Gryffindor, Sirius thought to himself as he turned to stare at the red-head. Meanwhile Ginny had started writing the notes down, looking extremely pissed off.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"I can't believe you bad-mouthed Musky!" Bellatrix exclaimed as soon as they exited the potions class. Ginny smirked.

"He doesn't scare me" Ginny said smugly. The two Black's nodded in approval.

"Right, so, we're gonna hook you up with your dream guys now" Ginny said, rubbing her hands in excitement. Narcissa stopped in her tracks and stared at her.

"Hello, I'm not single!"

"Well, you will be in ten minutes, I assure you" Ginny told her. She took from her pockets some dark shades. Bellatrix and Narcissa did the same as Ginny explained what they were going to do.

"First off, we'll get Narcissa to break up with Nott, then we'll hook her up with Malfoy, afterwards, we'll hook Bella up with Lestrange, got it?" The two nodded in understanding. Ginny sighed.

"Mission one: The Nott problem" she said as they all put on their dark shades and made their way to find Nott. When they found him, he was in the library with his nose in a book, his brow furrowed in concentration. It looked like a book from the restricted section that involved the Dark Arts. Narcissa gulped as she turned to her two friends.

"Is this really going to work?" she whispered.

"Go on couz, you can do it" Bellatrix assured her. Narcissa nodded as she walked over to Nott and sat down next to him. Ginny and Bellatrix exchanged glances as they saw Narcissa smile and nod, then she leapt up and ran over to them.

"You're dropped" she grinned as she gave both girls a high-five.

 Mission Two: The Malfoy problem" and with said, they went in search of Malfoy. They found him on the Quidditch pitch, doing a few laps.

"Oi Lucius!" Ginny yelled from the stands. Malfoy looked down to see them waving madly up at him. He landed on the stands and walked over to them.

"What is it?" he questioned.

"Go on" Ginny muttered as she nudged Narcissa in the ribs. Narcissa blushed bright red as she took a tentative step forward.

"Um …" she trailed off, looking to Ginny and Bellatrix for help. Bellatrix sighed.

"She wants to know if you'll go out with her on a date" she explained. Narcissa glared at her cousin, while Malfoy's lip curled.

"Sure, I'll meet you in the Slytherin common room at seven, we'll go to Hogsmeade" Malfoy informed Narcissa, before mounting his broom and taking off into the air. Narcissa's jaw dropped as she turned back to her two friends.

"He said yes!" she squealed as she hugged Ginny. Ginny giggled as she turned to Bellatrix.

"Mission Three: The Lestrange problem" Bellatrix paled slightly as they made their way to find Lestrange. He was with his usual gang and he was laughing, yet his laugh seemed to send shivers down Ginny's back. She gasped in horror when she realized that his gang was bullying Lily. Bellatrix stepped forward, looking awkward.

"Um, Rudolphus, could-could I have a word with you?" she asked apprehensively. Lestrange raised an eyebrow before following Bellatrix to a spare classroom. When she came back, she looked ecstatic.

"He said yes! I'm his girlfriend!" she squealed. Her and Narcissa exchanged looks, before grabbing their dark shades.

"Mission Four: The Lupin problem" Ginny stared at them both with wide eyes. 

"W-What?! I can do that on my own!" she said.

"You can't" Bellatrix told her.

"Evans, are you alright?" Everyone looked to see the Marauders running and standing in front of Lily to protect her. Narcissa pushed Ginny forward roughly and hissed "Do it!" Ginny gulped as she stared helplessly at the four boys standing in front of her. Everyone had stopped to watch her. She took a step forward, then took a deep breath. She grinned suddenly; she could always wind the girls up for a laugh.

"Sirius, I really like you" she said in her sweetest voice. Sirius stared at her, his mouth agape. Bellatrix and Narcissa both screamed.

"You do not like him!" they both yelled. Ginny giggled.

"You should've seen the looks on your faces!"

"That wasn't funny! Tell him or we'll yell out who you fancy!" Bellatrix warned. Ginny paled.

"Oh … alright, I'll tell him" Ginny said, looking defeated. She walked right up to Remus and locked eyes with him. "I really fancy you" she whispered, then she turned back to the two Black's.

"There, I've told him, let's go!" she said in a bright voice as she quickly walked to the library. Bellatrix and Narcissa, understanding that she wanted to be alone, made their way back to the Slytherin common room, while The Marauders and Lily stared after Ginny in shock.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"I can't believe they made me tell him" she whispered as she buried her face in a book, Ginny couldn't face anyone at the moment. She gasped when she saw Remus approach her. Remus sat down next to her and stared at her intently.

"Did you mean what you said back there?" he asked quietly. Ginny blushed bright red as she felt tears of humiliation and embarrassment well up in her eyes. She nodded. Remus smiled as he leaned in and whispered in her ear.

"I'm very flattered, but I know that you're from the future" Ginny's head snapped up as she stared at him in disbelief.

"How did you-?" she blurted out. Remus smiled.

"In potions, you said you knew Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. The girl who we wrote to via Marauders map said that she was friends with those two" he explained. Ginny lowered her eyes back to the book.

"I don't care. I still really like you" she whispered. Remus put a comforting arm around her and Ginny felt her pulse racing.

"I like you too" he whispered seductively in her ear "But you're in Slytherin and I'm in Gryffindor, it would look rather strange, don't you think?" Ginny looked at him as she felt tears well up in her eyes again.

"You don't mind that I'm from the future?" she questioned. Remus grinned.

"Hey, I'm just gonna pretend that I never figured it out" Ginny blushed.

"You're very pretty and I do like you a lot" Remus said "But, you're fourteen"
"Fifteen on Friday" she pointed out. Remus chuckled.

"Yeah, I know, but I'll be turning sixteen later on in the year"

"So? Your point is?" Remus sighed.

"You're a very determined woman, aren't you?" Ginny grinned.

"Always have been, always will"

"I like it" he whispered in her ear as his hand touched her knee. Ginny stared at him in shock as she lightly tapped his hand.

"Someone's being a bad boy" she said in a husky voice. Without warning, Remus did something that caught Ginny completely by surprise; he grabbed hold of her and kissed on passionately the lips. Meanwhile, a greasy haired Slytherin had been watching … and he wasn't happy!

Whoa, I bet you didn't see that coming! Hehehe! Remus/Ginny ppl, it was bound to happen soon!

How will the Marauders react when they find out that Moony has been snogging Ginny? What's Snape gonna do? Will Ginny and Remus start a relationship or was it simply a one-off?
