My Blonde-Haired Soldier

By Otakuprincess

A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. I'm updating again! I may have to pause and come back to this later, though, since I have off-ice training today. I hope everyone likes this chapter. The fred/george stuff (I didn't mean it like a pairing lol) might have to wait another chapter. I decided not to skip right to breakfast in the beginning of this chapter. Wow...chapter 13 already? This is my first chapter to go that far. Wow. This fic is now tied for reviews for my Artemis Fowl one....which means my AF fic is doing really well lol. Its only 4 chapters long.

"Wake up, Ginny. Wake up.."

Ginny opened her eyes to see Kaguya's head floating before her.

"Come on, sleepyhead. We all tried to wake you up, you know. Breakfast is in an hour."

Ginny sat up and rubbed the dust out of her eyes. Slytherin house in the morning was a turtle compared to Gryffindors hare. In a Gryffindor morning, there would be people running all over the common room, hairdryers in every socket and rolls of parchment scattered over the floor. The Slytherin common room was a calm place – students sat on the sofa, in chairs, and even on the staircases to the dormitories. Their hair was still wet and in buns at the back of their heads, and they didn't even bother to finish their homework (if they hadn't finished the night before.) Ginny felt very out of place.

Kaguya lead her up to the Slytherin girls' dormitory. Ginny took a quick shower, put her hair up still wet, and changed into her robes. Kaguya suddenly realized that she hadn't told Ginny.

"Hey, I totally forgot. There's some weird even they're doing this after noon. Dumbledore's calling it Field Day. Some muggle thing, I think. Just wear a pair of shorts and a tank top – we don't need our robes today."

Ginny thanked Kaguya for the info and walked back down to the common room. She had to get back to the Griffindor common room to put her robes back and catch up with Harry and the others.

As Ginny headed for the exit, someone caught her arm and pulled her into a kiss. A few of the Griffindors turned and began cheering Draco on.

"Leaving already, Weasley?" he asked, smiling.

"I have to put my robes back before breakfast. I heard we're doing Field Day." Ginny replied, blushing a little at all of the Slytherins looking at her.

"Okay then. I'll see you after breakfast, right?" Draco said.

"Of course." Ginny walked out of the common room, waving.

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

"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" Ron screamed out as Harry checked on the fireplace.

"Gosh, Ron, calm down. The entire common room is staring at you." Hermione said.

Ron turned around, and sure enough, everyone was staring, open mouthed, at Ron. His ears turned scarlet red and he turned back around on the sofa to face Hermione.

"Sorry. But shouldn't she be back by now?"

"You know, I'm sure she's fine. She'll probably come to put her robes away, but you don't have to be so worried." Hermione said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"But, even if she comes back, she'll never tell me what happened last night. What if Malfoy touched her or something? And I just can't believe she would go out with that freak. How can I possibly..." Ron began to rant.

"Calm down. She would have come back if something had happened. And she will tell you everything you need to know. Trust her. It's the only way she'll tell you anything."

"okay..."

"Hey, what's going on?" Harry came and plopping himself down next to Ron.

"Ron was just worrying about his little sister."

Suddenly the portrait hole opened and Ginny walked in, her school robes draped over her shoulder. Everybody turned to look at her.

"Uh...hi?" Ginny said timidly. She ran over to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and tried to block out the whispers around the room.

"Why is everyone acting weird around me?" Ginny asked. "On my way back from the Slytherin house, a bunch of people from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were giving me looks and calling me a slut. Now, Im back here, and people are whispering about me?"

"Yeah Mione, what's going on?" Ron asked. Hermione almost died. The rumors had been going around since 5 am, and he still didn't know what was going on.

"Ginny...people are saying that you slept with Malfoy last night." Hermione said softly.

"What? But...but..that's not true." Ginny said, trying not to raise her voice.

"I know. It's okay." Hermione comforted her.

"No. It's not okay."

Ginny stood up and walked halfway up the girls' dormitory staircase. She turned around and faced everyone in the common room, and magnified her voice.

"EVERYONE! I need you to listen to me!"

Every student in the room turned to look at Ginny. Fred and George smiled

"Finally, our girl is getting tough." George said.

"Yep, she's growing up on the right side of the family." Fred replied.

"I did not sleep with Malfoy last night. I don't know who spread this rumor, but it isn't true. I went to the Slytherin house for the night, and we talked about random stuff and played twister. It was a fun party, that's it. And I don't care what any of you think about my relationship with Malfoy. I. Don't. Care. Thank you."

Ginny waved her wand and put her voice back to the way it was. Then she walked back downstairs and sat down next to Hermione.

"There. Now it's okay."
