Chapter Three: I Would Have Never Guessed
With Ginny(Regular POV)
"So where to now guys?" asked Harry as him, Ron, and Ginny walked through the street of Hogsmeade village. They had just came from Honeydukes Sweet Shop and they had bought loads of candy. Ron had the most as usual and he managed to still ask for the rest of Ginny's snack.
"I say the quidditch shop." said Ron while chewing as drops of candy fell from his mouth. Ginny than sent Ron a disguised look before walking a head of them.
"I'm not really in the mood for quidditch right now." she said as they walked behind her. She was trying to think up a way to ditch Harry and Ron but now she wouldn't even have to do anything. "You guys can go with out me. I'll be at Flourish and Blotts getting the reminder of my school books.
They nodded before heading toward the Quidditch shop. Ginny then began to walk down the street until she heard a scream. Turning around Ginny saw the most disgusting thing ever; the cow Pansy Parkinson in a skirt. She ran up right pass Ginny shoving her to the ground in the dirt and straight a head to a blonde haired boy and a raven hair young man.
"Watch where you going Parkinson!" yelled Ginny as she got up and dusted herself off sending a few glares Pansy's way.
"Why It not like you and the rest of your blood traitor family don't belong there anyway." She laughed. "The lot of you hang out with mudbloods, you mind as well be one."
"Watch who your talking to Parkinson." said a voice from behind Ginny. "We wouldn't want Ginny to make you face any more pug like than it already is." laughed the voice. Ginny smirked when she recognized who the voice belonged to.
"And if I don't mudblood?" she asked as she stepped forward and sneered at Hermione who had taken her place beside Ginny. "What are you going to do about it?" she said getting into Hermione's face.
"This!" Ginny yelled as she shoved Pansy towards Malfoy but he stepped to the side and she hit the ground. She looked up at Malfoy with teary up eyes and a shocked look on her face. Malfoy just shrugged and tapped Blaise's shoulder and nodded towards Flourish and Blotts. Blaise nodded back before they turned and began to walk away.
"Looks like even your friends don't want to be bothered by the likes of you." laughed Hermione. Ginny nodded and begin to laugh as well. Pansy just sat there with a shocked look on her face making her look even dumber than usual(if that was even possible). "Come on Gin, we don't want to give people the wrong impression seeing us with this pug face bimbo."
They laughed before walking away. Leaving Pansy there to wallow in the dirt, with people sending her weird look and whisperings insulting things about her. They then continued walking in silence for the next three or four minutes before Ginny spoke up.
"Um...Hermione can we stop by Flourish and Blotts? I really need to get the rest of my school books." asked Ginny as they were nearing the shop. Hermione face lit up, everyone knows of Hermione Granger's love for books and any thing to do with bookstore made her day. Hermione secretly jumped with joy, now she wouldn't have to make up some random reason for them to go there, because Ginny had already wanted to.
"Yeah sure Gin." she said with a smile. "I wanted to go there anyway." as they began to walk to
Flourish and Blotts.
Half way there Ginny began to contemplated whether or not she was going to tell Hermione about the nightmare she had the pervious night. She decided she would wait until later or until the situation presented itself. She was a little confused on the role Malfoy and Zabini had it all of this but from the looks of her dream, they were allies. But why would they ever be friends and not foes? What reason would any of them have to befriend the other?
She did not know the answers to all her questions but she was damn sure she was going to find out. Whether she had to ask Malfoy himself, she would find out. They entered the bookstore and walked to the counter, where a small gentle faced old lady reading a book much larger than herself was siting. Her brown hair falling slightly into her face as she read. She nodded to show her acknowledgment of the two before marking the page she was reading. She lifted her face and with a smile she began to speak.
"May I help you dearies?" she asked her voice filled with cheer. Hermione looked to Ginny for her to speak since she knew exactly what she wanted, while Hermione just had a few questions for her. Ginny thinking along the same lines, thought Hermione knew what she was looking for and Ginny wanted to speak to the lady in private about the books she wanted. "Well..." she said when neither one of them spoke up.
" Oh well I was looking for a book about...em.." she said as she looked over to Hermione giving her a look that said she wanted to speak to the lady in private. Hermione looked back at Ginny catching the hint that she didn't want it what ever she wanted to discuss shared with her, so she said she would be looking for what she wanted and if she needed help she would be back to ask. The lady nodded and looked back to Ginny as Hermione rounded a near by bookshelf.
Ginny leaned in close to the lady and she began to speak. " I was wondering do you have any books on the elements?" she asked. She didn't need help in finding a book about premonitions or seeing the future, she figure she could do that on her own.
"Oh why didn't you say so dearies." she said with a huge smile. " We have loads of books on that type of stuff. But you might want to be more specific, or you might end up looking in a book for hours and not finding what you want."
Ginny nodded. "How specific? Like what element and things like that?"
The old women place a hand to her chin thinking. "Well yes and no. You have to tell me want exactly you are looking for not just the element but if you just want to know of the element than yes, but other than that no."
"Well...I wanted to know about..umm about..controlling them." that last part barley above a whisper. The lady smiled a knowing smile. Albus had told her that soon four teens would come in search of such books. She didn't expect them to come so soon though. 'So that 's three, including the two young men from earlier. Three down only one to go.' she thought as she smiled at Ginny. 'So the other one has to be another girl. Wonder if those young men are still here.'
"Oh yes dear, we have those books too, your lucky we only have two left." she said her smile growing bigger with each word. " You know there were two boys here earlier, they were looking for the same thing as you. Bet their still back there, if you want to talk to them, they seem to have interest in this book too."
Ginny nodded not really sure about talking to strangers about her personal issues. The lady went under the desk and brought out a fairly large book and a piece of parchment and quillGinny looked over the parchment and quill with a confused look on her face. Never when she purchased a book did she have to sign anything before. 'So why now?' she wondered.
"Dearie will you sign your name here?" she said handed Ginny a parchment and the quill with two signature above where she would sign her's.
"May I ask why?" she asked as she took the quill in hand.
"Well these books are very special and the owner of these books would like to know who took interest in them. So just in case he would want to discuss something or something happens we will be able to contact you with your names." she said still holding that smile.
"Oh okay." Ginny said not really sure but she need answers and she need them fast. If this book was going to help her than she was going to sign that parchment. "Wait.. Did those boys you spoke of have to sign this too?"
"Yes dearie, everyone who gets one."
"Oh." she said as she sign the parchment taking longer to see the names. There writing in ink were the names Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. 'I knew it, Malfoy and Zabini have something to do with this too!' thought Ginny putting two and two together. ' That means that Hermione does too!'.
She pulled out her money to pay the lady but she declined the money and said you'll need this more than I'll need the money. She then thanked the kind old lady before headed off to find the other book she wanted then Hermione.After Ginny had rounded the same corner Hermione had earlier Hermione came back to speak with the old women.
"Excuse me, but I'm having difficulties locate the book I'm looking for." she said as she approached the lady for the second time. The lady smile at her again.
"So what book are you looking for exactly?" she asked.
"Well that's the thing. I don't know the book name, that why I came up here." she mumbled.
"Oh no wonder your having difficulties Dearie, you don't even know the name of the books your looking for." she laughed. "But I can help you with that. What kind of book are you looking for my dear?"
"Well I need a book about...um.. Having the abilities to control things."
"What sort of things my dear? You could be talking about anything."
Hermione breath in then back out. She knew that what she was about to say was going to sound a little...scratch that completely ridiculous, but she had to find what she was looking for. Not wanting what happened the other night to repeat it self.
"Stuff like fire. You know things like that."
The lady smiled. ' All Four in one day! Albus is going to love me.' she thought as she jumped for joy on the inside.
"Oh dearie I know exactly want your talking about and have the perfect book for you." she said reaching under the counter for the fourth time today and getting the book and the quill and parchment. " Here you go. Oh it's on the house. I love to see young minds growing" she said as she saw Hermione reaching for her money in her pocket.
"Mam what is the quill and parchment for?"
" I want you to sign it if that's okay for you?" she said with a smile.
Returning the smile Hermione signed the parchment not bothering to look at the other names thanked her and started to walk off.
"Wait excuse me young lady but I forgot to tell you your friend ,the girl you came in with, is looking for you." she called out to Hermione. Hermione nodded and went off in search for Ginny.
Heading the way she seen Ginny go she rounded the bookcase again and headed for the reading section of the store. She found Ginny near the section of the bookstore containing information about seers . She then told Ginny that she was heading to reading section of the bookstore and they headed there to sit and explore their new books. When turning a corner Hermione and Ginny both collided into something hard and hit the floor.
"Well well well, look what we have here Blaise it's Granger and Weaslette ." sneered Malfoy. Hermione and Ginny looked up to see Draco and Blaise standing over them. "Where's Pothead and Weasley King? Didn't think you guys went anywhere without each other."
Hermione and Ginny glared at Malfoy as the got up from the ground and dusted themselves off.
"You know I'm tired of getting knocked to the floor by you snakes." yelled Ginny. "Let it happen again and the next Slytherin I see, it's curtains for them.
Hermione nodded and added. "As your just as shocked as I'm not with Harry and Ron I'm shocked Pansy isn't hanging from you arms. I mean you two act as if your connected at the hip." laughed Hermione causing even Blaise to burst out laughing.
"I see Granger got jokes." Blaise laughed. " Never would have guessed,"
"Hardy har har, very funny make me the butt of every joke." said Draco sarcastically, making everyone laughing double over. "I mean all I do is make a simple comment and Granger goes mad. And FYI me and Pansy aren't joined at the hip, it's the arm." laughed Draco clearly joking.
"No way Hermione, I would have never guess Malfoy could make jokes, funny jokes at that." laughed Ginny.
"Yeah and speak IM, I mean that's a muggle thing." giggled Hermione the two talking as if the boys weren't even there. "Not that it hasn't been fun guys but we hanged around Slytherins enough for today." Hermione laughed sarcastically. Like hanging out with Slytherins was ever fun, even if they didn't really insult you this time. Key word in that sentence being THIS TIME.
She and Ginny began to walk off when Blaise called out to Ginny
"Hey, Weasley your forgetting some thing" holding up Ginny book, Dreams Interpretations For Dummies. "Never knew you were one to read."
Ginny marched over to Blaise and attempted to grab the book but he held it high out of her reach. Her being 5'6 and him probably 6 feet tall. She jumped up grabbing his other arm for leverage and when she made contact with his skin directly she fell to the floor with a thug!
Hermione ran to her side to see what was wrong. Blaise also kneeled down next to Hermione.
"What did you do Zabini?" she yelled.
"I didn't do anything, she just sort of fainted." said Blaise. "I have that sort of effect on girls." he finished with a smirk.
"I'm not kidding and this is not a kidding matter." she said. "So stop with the joke she could really be hurt." she said looking down at Ginny.
"So Granger you really think you can beat me?" Draco asked with a smirk. Hermione smirk too before replying.
"No, I don't think I can beat you, I know." as she charge at Malfoy while throwing fireballs at him.
Draco dodge them and blew some out with a wave of his arms. He then flew up into the arm and began spinning really fast. As his speed increased so did the force of wind around them. Hermione flames in her hand where put out and she was blown into a wall. Draco stopped then land into front of her.
"What were you saying about you knowing what? Because it couldn't have been about beating me." he taunted her.
"But you guys forget this is a four way sparring, not just the two of you." said Ginny as she out stretched her arms and vines began to wrap around the two of them locking them together.
"Oh but Ginny my dear as you said four way." said Blaise as he trapped her in a water sphere. "Draco quick freeze it!"
"Oh so your double teaming now?" asked Hermione. "I think I'll even the odd." as she began to heat up burning the trapped Draco before he could help Blaise. Blaise tried to send a wave of water Hermione's way but was soon trapped by vines and tree bark wrapping it self tightly around him. He then fell to the floor binded and next to Hermione and Draco.
"Looks like I win since you three are too wrapped up in your own problem." laughed Ginny.
"I could have got out if I wanted to, I just didn't feel like it was all." said Draco as Ginny released the three of them.
"Yeah right Malfoy keep thinking that." laughed Hermione as she walked over to Ginny. "And the winning and still champion. Miss Ginny Weasley!" laughed Hermione as she raised Ginny arm.
"You know I'm tried of losing, I mean it happens this way ever time. Me and Hermione are fighting then Ginny traps both of us and then that only leaves Blaise. Blaise and his little water tricks are no match for her so he over in like twenty seconds." complained Draco causing the others to laugh as they walked from the Room Of Requirement.
Ginny woke with a gasp as she held on to the closest thing to her at the moment. Which so happens to be a smirking Blaise Zabini. Who sent a I told you so look towards Hermione.
"See what I tell you, she not up five minutes and she all over me." laughed Blaise.
"Shut up Zabini." she said before looking to Ginny, who was beginning to regain her composure." Are you all right Gin? What happened?"
"I ..I saw ...I saw us." Ginny said stumbling with her words.
"See already dreaming about me, it's the Zabini charm I tell you."said Blaise causing Malfoy to snicker.
"Would you shut up Zabini! No one want to hear you talk about your supposed pimp status." yelled Hermione again to Blaise. "Ginny Hon your not making any sense."
"Yeah, she does sound a lot like Weasley when he's asked a question in class." snickered Draco.
"Shut Up You Two!" yelled Hermione drawing a couple unwanted looks. " Ginny please tell me whats going on."
"I saw us...together." said Ginny.
"What do you mean together Weaslette? Are you talking about together sexually?" asked Draco.
"No you twit, she doesn't mean sexually. Honestly get your heads out the gutter." said Hermione
"Why? It practically lives there." laughed Draco, he loved getting on Hermione nerves and he would do it any chance he got. It was like his unspoken job. Hermione sighed a loud in frustration , yep he was doing his job. Before she turned back to Ginny.
"Gin, what do you mean together." she asked. 'Please don't mean sexually. Please don't mean sexually. I'll never hear the end up it from this prat.'she thought.
"We were fighting together." said Ginny getting back her color and know ready to fully speak, she figure she should tell them about what she knew about them and she should tell them now. She breath in before speaking. "You guys ,I know."
"Gin what do you know?" asked Hermione with a confused look on her face.
"Yeah Weaslette what could you possibly know about us?" asked Blaise folding his arms over his chest.
"I know you guys secret. The reason you all came to this bookstore." she said.
"Oh you got me, yes I can read" faked cried Draco as he bent over to Ginny as if begging. "Please don't tell anyone I wouldn't want them to think that I was educated. Oh Please no, any thing but that."
"All right Malfoy shut up. No one wants to hears you beg, besides we all know you can't read." joked Hermione. "But seriously Gin what are you talking about?"
"I know that you guys can do something no one else can do." she said as she leaned forward. " I know you guys can control the elements" she spoke so low only they could hear her.
"Gin...how do you know that...I mean I only did it once and I didn't tell you about it?" asked Hermione.
"No way you guys too, me and Dra just thought it was us." said Blaise excitingly. "What can you guys do? Can you show us?"
Hermione looked over to Blaise and then nodded. She looked around to make sure no one was looking and with all her concentration she closed her fist and when she opened it a fireball was in her hand. Draco was impressed, he thought his ability was great now looking at Hermione his was feeble in comparison but he did not show it. Hermione than broke her concentration and the fireball disappeared.
"That's it. I thought it would be better than that." he said. "Mines way better."
"No your's not, you can't even do any thing." said Blaise.
"I can too, your just jealous." sneer Draco.
"Right like I would be jealous of you. You can't even really fly all that good." replied Blaise
"No way you can fly!" yelled Hermione. "That so amazing!"
"See I told you Blaise." teased Draco as he held a smug grin.
"You guys will you stop!" screamed Ginny getting everyone attention. "We all have power, everyone's is unique no better than the rest.."
"Really and what is your element?" asked Draco.
"It obvious. I can control earth, Hermione fire, Blaise water and you air." she said.
"How do you know about our powers?" asked Blaise.
"I saw it, the night I realized my powers. Its was in a dream, I think I'm a seer." she said. "I saw all of us fighting together. We were amazing."
She began to tell them the story of her night mare leaving out the part of it being a nightmare, the other four elementals, and the actual fight. She just told them about her recent vision and some amazing things they did in her nightmare that she remembered. She even told them how in the vision when they were sparing that they were friends. By the end of the stories they for the most part were speechless. One, because they thought they would never be friend. Two, they didn't think they could ever have the power she was describing to them.
"So well what have you all got to say now that I've told want I know?" Ginny asked.
"Well I for one would have never guessed that we would be that powerful." said Blaise. "I mean I've seen Draco fly :couch: hover and would have never thought him to have the power you described to us." Blaise laughed at his own joked and burst into a even bigger fit of laughter when he saw the look Draco was giving him. Hermione even had to laugh when she seen the face Draco was making.
"I would have never guess that we would all be friends in the near future." said Hermione. "I mean hanging out today wasn't as bad as school and us being arch enemies and all, I just can't see it, but if Ginny says so than I guess we're buddies. No matter how perverted you two are" laughed Hermione while she wrapped a arm around Blaise.
"You might want to move Granger if you don't want me getting a boner on you leg." joked Blaise causing Hermione to jump apart from him quickly.
"See that's what I'm talking about pervert!" said Hermione as she smack Blaise on the arm.
"Well I would have never guess we would lose to Weaslette every time and still not triple team her after all those loses." said Draco. "I mean come on she has to lose sometime!"
Everyone laughed at Draco. He could be rather competitive sometimes. While they laughed they were un aware of the pair eyes that watched them from behind the book case. 'I can't believe how well their getting along.' thought the old lady with a smile as she watched them talk and converse about their powers.
One book case over hiding behind it stood a brunette girl. She had been there eavesdropping for a couple of minutes. She hadn't heard much, well nothing of vital importance anyway but she had seen everything. From Ginny passing out to Hermione hugging Blaise. As she moved along the lines of the shelf trying to get a better view she watched the group with interest. She couldn't believe her eyes, they must be playing tricks on her. There was no way she was seeing the Griffindor Princesses Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley associating with the Slytherin Bad Boys Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. It was just no way this would ever happen.
The girl smiled. "Wait til the rest of Hogwarts hears about this." she said as she ran from behind the shelf and out the door with a smile.
