She didn't know how long she cried her heart out at the astronomy tower. But she knew it was really long. Her heart was broken.
Years of being utterly in love with Harry potter and look where it got her.
She suddenly remembered a year or two before she entered Hogwarts when Bill told her not to expect her prince charming in Harry potter.
She ignored him of course, and look where that brought her.
She shakily stood up as the cold breeze of late September gave her goosebumps on her skin. She turned and decided to go back to the dorms, if only to go to bed and wish tomorrow never came, but of course she just had to bump into trouble, Slytherin trouble.
"Well well, if it isn't the littlest weasel"
Malfoy drawled and Ginny groaned internally.
"What are you doing here alone, and without potter no less"
Her heart skipped sadly before she resolved herself and glared at Draco angrily.
He had no right to remind her of her broken heart. Even if he didn't know.
"shut the bloody hell up Malfoy! I really Don't want to hear your voice right now"
"Ooh, did I hit a nerve ey?"
He teased and Ginny's fists clenched together. She contemplated laying a punch on him when she heard a female icy voice.
"Draco, stop being childish."
She turned a bit and saw the Slytherin ice queen just behind Draco. She immediately felt intimidated. Who wouldn't?? She was the perfect pureblood heiress. With long blonde wavy hair that fell to her shoulders in a single high ponytail and beautiful blemish free skin. Her icy blue eyes sparkling with knowledge but also stiff, cold and slightly distant. Her perky lips rubbed with lip gloss and in a cute dark blue pleated skirt and a pure white long sleeve top with a light blue scarf wrapped around her neck and a deep black 2 inch high heel.
Ginny felt intimidated but dared not show it.
She said to Draco who turned red and glared at her playfully which shocked Ginny who hadn't seen him do that to anyone.
They must be close after all. Ginny obviously had no idea especially since she'd never thought about studying the Slytherin students dynamics, especially the ones that had been a year above her before she found herself in the same year with them.
"I'm not being childish Daphne I'm just stating the pure truth."
Daphne sighed.
"get out of my way ferret face, I have somewhere to be."
Draco turned back to her brimming with anger and was about to reply when he was interrupted.
"You shut the hell up you filthy--"
Before he could complete it, a chuckle filled the air that gave Ginny the chills, it was deep, muscular and… smoldering.
"really Draco, just let the girl pass."
She bristled a bit at being called 'girl' but could do nothing about it as the owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows and Ginny's breathe caught.
Of course, it would be him.
The mysterious boy of Hogwarts.
Tall at 6'4, shining pure skin, a lithe muscular body. His pure black pompadour hair styled handsomely on his head and slightly covering part of his face and brought out his cerulean dark blue eyes that girls so loved, his smirk planted on his face as usual and his pink pout lips inviting.
Blaise Zabini.
Slytherin house mysterious cousin of Draco Malfoy.
His eyes caught Ginny's and she felt goose bumps on her skin.
"really cousin, tell me you don't feel sorry for her!"
Draco drawled out while smirking and Blaise chuckled.
"come on Draco, just let her go so she won't keep calling you ferret face"
Daphne's lips curled upwards just a bit and Draco glared at his cousin who was basically a brother to him but Blaise wasn't looking at him, he turned towards Ginny and motioned his head for her to go to which she didn't waste anytime and turned away towards the Gryffindor dorms.
She muttered the password and without looking around, headed for her dorms and changed into her PJs and laid in bed.
Her breakup hit her once more and tears fell from her eyes.
Harry never loved her. He just… used her.
For the fun of it. Was it a dare? No, it couldn't be, Ron would kill him, and he obviously wasn't the type to do such a despicable thing.
Maybe he just wanted to try it out with her.
Or maybe Ronald convinced him to give it a trial. She scowled. She wouldn't be so surprised if that was what happened.
But now, she wanted her revenge.
She wanted to make it known that just because he dumped her, it didn't mean she would just wallow in self pity.
She was going to show him just exactly what he was missing. What he just let go of. And she needed help with that. Which brought about the thought of which guy she could use as revenge.
She needed someone who wouldn't be afraid to make harry angry or jealous.
That definitely wasn't a Gryffindor, nor a Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw wouldn't as they would see it as a distraction from their education and wouldn't see the purpose in it, calling it pointless. And that left Slytherin.
That would do. He hated Slytherins so much.
Yes.
A Slytherin would do.
The next day, Ginny woke up with red puffy eyes.
She groggily went to the bathroom and did her hygiene routine, dressing in a pair of black jeans and a light blue long sleeve tight top, she also put on her black and white sneakers. She put her hair in a messy bun and went down the stairs and out of the Gryffindor tower. As she walked towards the great hall, she felt her heart beat quicken.
She knew most people would have heard of her break up.
She scoffed, of course. This was Hogwarts. News passed way too quickly.
She took a deep breathe and patted her hair, making sure her make up was intact, and stepped into the hall, head held high, and went towards the Gryffindor table.
As she settled down, she noticed people staring at her and some even pointing at her and she inwardly shivered.
No! She wouldn't let them think she was weak and dependent on harry potter. She'll make him pay for what he did to her.
As she ate her breakfast of cereal and milk, she began looking at the Slytherin table for just who would fit plans.
The 6th year Slytherins only consisted of two 17 year olds, Jim Burke and Zubeida Khan. Jim was just an ugly troll no offense and Zubeida was gay, so that left the 7th year boys.
The ones her age were just bloody annoying.
Then there was the 18 or 19 year olds.
Goyle and Crabbe were both a no go area, Theo Nott was a bit creepy, Malfoy was just an ass. And, that left… Zabini.
Her eyes sort out the Italian and found him just as fast.
He was sitting next to his cousin as usual, a red apple in his hand, rolling it around in his palm as he smirked at something his cousin said.
As she ate her cereal, she looked closely at him.
Blaise Zabini, Hogwarts mysterious sexy Italian.
She watched him as he looked down at a book he was reading, his hair falling into his face and she felt like brushing her hand through it.
Blaise Zabini. Now that she thought about it, she'd had 2 other encounters with him before.
-1st year-
Ginny was walking through a dark hallway with a diary in her arms.
She turned another hallway when she heard a voice.
"just what is a little Gryffindor firstie doing in the dungeons after curfew?"
Ginny spun to her right in shock and saw a boy, slightly taller than her. Blaise Zabini.
He looked at her expectantly as if waiting for an explanation.
She glared defiantly."Its none of your business"
He smirked at her.
"of course. But, you must realize, this is Slytherin territory. If found by others, especially the older years, they just might do something, unsavory…"
As he said that, she shivered in fear and clutched her wand and the diary closer.
"T-they wouldn't dare! Tom wouldn't let them"
It seemed she realized what she just blurted out, because she paled and froze and he looked at her inquisitively.
"Tom? Now that's a rather peculiar name, I know none of your brothers bear it, nor is it Potter's. Really strange, isn't it?"
His smirk widened as he noticed just how uncomfortable she was.
"Well, if you won't talk, I suggest you leave little Weasley, this really isn't the place for you… and your diary"
he said in amusement as his eyes lingered on the diary she clutched tightly to her chest.
She turned and sprinted away, looking back warily to be sure he wasn't following her.
-6th year-
A sixth year Ginny limped out of her detention with the Carrow twins.
They'd placed the Cruciatus curse on her and she felt utterly weak and hurt.
As she struggled to keep on her feet, using the walls for balance so she could get to madam Pomphrey and deal with the continuous shake she felt.
"need any help?"
And she jumped, almost falling when strong arms caught her.She looked up into the eyes of her, savior? It was a deep cerulean blue. She noticed those exquisite features. Zabini.
She felt her heart quicken at the electricity that coursed through them.She tried removing herself from his strong arms but he didn't budge.
"I know if I let you go, you'll fall to the ground. And I've been taught to help a lady in need."
Ginny glared at him."Even a bloody Gryffindor?!" she spat back at him angrily still trying but in vain to untangle herself from his strong muscular arms.
"Yes. Even annoying Gryffindors who certainly Don't know how to say thank you, nor keep themselves from getting punished everyday" he spoke back to her calmly.
She almost replied back when he continued.
"lets just get you to the infirmary. I'm sure we can get back to being strangers after" he said tonelessly and she stared at him, untrustingly before relaxing a bit after seeing the truth in his eyes.
She nodded albeit reluctantly and he picked her up easily, bridal style, carrying her to the infirmary in a comfortable silence.
That was the last time she spoke to him.
And now, he could definitely help her.
He was definitely one of the guys who wouldn't feel bad doing this, and he seemed… like he wouldn't care.
She watched him close the book and drop the red apple and he stood up, sneakily, without anyone really noticing, he was good at that. Really good. He quietly went out of the great hall, his hair falling through his eyes, and breeze blowing them, making Ginny think of a supermodel.
She glared at him as he walked, no one deserves to be this… perfect.
As he walked out, she realized that this might be her only chance of ever talking to him alone or even find him, and she stood up from her seat, and walked out.
Meanwhile,
Hermione was trying to drag Ron not to follow his sister.
"I have to do something Mione! She's my sister and I have to make sure this break up wouldn't just break her apart."
Hermione sighed.
"she's strong Ron, I'm sure she'll be fine. She just needs time to herself. Besides, it was you who convinced harry to try it out on a date with her! Which was really wrong of you!!"
"I know Hermione, I just thought they'd finally be happy and all that. Seems I was wrong" he said grumpily, playing around with his food.
"well, at least you punched harry and I'm sure you feel better. But you'll have to still apologize to him later. After all, its still partially your fault ."
Hermione said sternly and Ron nodded gloomily.
Ginny immediately took to her heels as she got out of the great hall, turning to her left which was the direction Zabini took when he left.
She checked some empty classes and still didn't find him, she was almost about to give up when she passed another class and a hand grabbed her and spun her in.
She made a grab for her wand when she heard a familiar sultry voice .
"what can I help you with little Weasley?" his voice sounded in a teasing way and she relaxed just a bit .
"Hello Zabini. Fancy seeing you here…"
He sighed as he walked out of the dark and into the dim light in the room, resting on a desk.
"don't play stubborn with me little Weasley. I know you want something, I noticed you watching me in the great hall."
He spoke dryly and she bristled in anger at the nickname he had given her.
"Fine! But one thing straight, I'm not 'little Weasley'. Also… I , uh, I need your help." She grumbled.
Blaise looked at her curiously and she felt like a prey being watched carefully by a predator, which made her heart quicken even more.
"hmm, I see… and what, kind of help are we talking about here?"
"The kind of help to make someone jealous."
He looked at her amusingly and smirked understandingly.
"oh, I think I get it now." He stalked around the room.
"so, if I get you straight, you, want me, to help you get revenge on potter, for whatever he did to you…"
She nodded.
"so, I should break my 'record' of not having had a girlfriend in this forsaken school, for you, someone who is barely an acquaintance."
She nodded timidly once more and saw the slight problem in her plan.
Why would he even help her, she never even talked to him willingly before, those two times, he was the one who initiated the conversation, and that was because he'd seen her near the dungeons those two times.
She sighed.
"I'm sorry Zabini. Just, forget whatever I just said." and she turned to walk out the door when she heard his voice again.
"and just what's in it for me ?"
She froze. What the bloody hell could she give him anyway?! She didn't have any precious and valuable thing to give him. He had the money, and the looks, she grudgingly admitted.
"I'll uh, I'll owe you a favor"
She mumbled.
He raised an eyebrow delicately and she bristled internally at how easy things seemed to come to him.
"Very well. I'll call in my favor whenever I need it."
She perked up at that.
"so you'll do it??"
He sighed remorsefully but in a rather playful way.
"Yes… it would be fun messing with potter. It would be great letting him know just what a precious gem he just let go of."
He smirked and Ginny could feel herself getting red on the cheek.
"But, there's something that comes with this, agreement."
He walked up to her and she looked up at him questioningly.
"don't fall in love with me" he said playfully and she scoffed before smirking.
"you wish…"
"we'll see…" he smirked, raising a hand to shift a strand of her hair that fell from her bun away from her face to her ear and Ginny shivered at the feel of his hand before he turned to walk away.
Before he did anyway, he stopped and turned to her, his hands in his dark black skinny jeans.
"Meet me at the great hall entrance tomorrow by 6:30. It's a school day, people will be around for sure, it'll make a statement if we walk inside together. We need to start small after all, we can't just start dating, people would think you were also cheating on potter. And you know how the public is with their golden boy."
He smirked.
"And call me Blaise, it's a start after all."
"only if you call me Ginny then…"
"hmm, I think I'll stick with little Weasley."
He walked out, leaving her glaring at where he just left.
So i decided to just post the second chapter so people could understand where this was going and get to know the characters, if only just a little bit.
Please leave likes and reviews on what you think about the characters!
Don't forget i did say some characters might act rather different from canon so expect that.
Loves and Kisses!
