Chapter 3 - Detention with a Ferret

So, here we go again… and you'd think it would get easier each time. Wrong! Every time I have a detention with Snape my heart bumps so hard against my skin! I never know what he'll make me do…he's quite scary during detentions. Once I had to clean all the caldrons without my wand and then make them shine! Just say that when I got out of there I got a detention with McGonagall for being out in the corridors so late or so early (depend on how you saw it). There was one time I got a month detention and fifty points out for turning the classroom into a red and gold room. Know what I had to do for my detention? Paint the goddanm room and all the dungeons classrooms twice! That week I barely felt my hands…

I never know if I'll return to my dorms intact. Snape hates my family and hates me above them all. Why you ask? First, we are friends with the Potters and Blacks, his arch enemy. Then, you see, only my brother Charlie got a Newt in Potions and it was due to Dumbledore being behind the grades all the time, he was the only to do the exam without being an extern student. Ron, Percy and Harry had to do it without being indicated by the Professor… Unlike my brothers I'm smart and great at Potions and Dumbledore is my godfather. I'm even greater at Potions than Hermione and so he can't make me quit the class. Okey, I saw many laughing and other asking how on earth I caught up Hermione, how overcome the infamous bookworm of Gryffindor.

I'll answer it! Hermione was the first to come to Hogwarts and being as bright as she is she was noticed but the others who followed her didn't.

Besides when you're Harry Potter's best friend and the youngest of six children there's not many things you can do and get credit for it. Not even when you overcome them all.

Percy was Head Boy. Bill as well and top at Charms, Charlie was the captain of Quidditch, seeker and top at Potions, Fred and George, yeah… well, they're the master trouble makers compared to the Maraures (sp?), Ron's Harry' s right hand and Harry was the Head Boy, captain of the team, best at DADA, the great seeker and the now the youngest player ever to play in the first League of Quittich. (I know he's not my brother but he's more than that to me).

Even when I got Outstanding in all my OWLs my parents were more preoccupied with Bill's big promotion. I reckon they know my grades?

Well, this year is my own! I'm the last of the Weasley in school. I'll use my best troublemaker skill combined with my brains, athletics skills and my Head position to be remembered!

You should have seen Herms' face when I showed her my OWLs. She was so pale!Lol…okey now I'm being mean to my future sister in law. Yeah haven't heard yet? Ron is going to marry Hermione next summer… They are always bickering but so deep in love… I just one day I'll have the same…

Oh, my god! I've been rambling until now! I'm late again and now to my detention. write to you later.

Ginny closed her diary and left dorm. She ran all the way down to the dungeons. She knocked on the door and a stern voice ordered her in.

'Sorry, sir, Head's duties' she lied stepping inside only to see that it was not Professor Severus Snape that answered her but Professor Draco Malfoy. She looked puzzled at him.

'Good evening, Weasley. I've asked Professor Snape to hold your detention now, I've work to do later on so, when we finish your detention you'll go meet Professor Snape in the Great Hall.' He said as Ginny walked to him.

'Okey' Ginny said simply dropping her bag in one of the tables and taking her essay from it. 'Here' she handed the essay to him without taking her eyes from his stare.

'Good…now, your detention, Miss Weasley' Malfoy took a small vial from his pocket and handed it to Ginny, who didn't take it. 'Weasley!' he demanded but Ginny didn't move.

'Drink it, Weaslette.' He ordered in a stern voice. Their eyes were as if fighting, connected in a battle of wills.

'No, I won't drink it Malfoy. You can't force me into drinking Veritaserum' she said sitting in her table and sighed angrily 'So, sir what's my punishment for being delaying you're class?' she asked in a mocking voice. She despised him so much that if she could she would humiliate him with public pranks as she used to do in previous years with her brothers and Harry.

'Unfortunately, Weaslette, this is not last year and you no longer call me by my last name only. It is Professor Malfoy and I'm not your equal –'

'Of course not,sir. I'm superior.' She muttered under her breath. If Malfoy heard her he showed no signs of it because he continued:

' as I never was. I'm your superior. I'm not your school colleague anymore and you can not act as if I still was. Are we understood, Miss Weasley?'

Ginny did not answer stubbornly.

'Now prepare yourself for your detention. You'll be taught how to treat your superior or your teachers…and to do so we are going to play a little called "Table of Humiliation"'

Ginny raised her eyebrows in a curious and preoccupied arch.

'Uh..sounds awful' she joked but her gaze was divided between Malfoy's eyes and the vial in his hand.

He smirked 'This, Miss Weasley is not Veritaserum, not the common one at least. Professor Snape brew it to me to test you and get your deepest secrets…every time you fail to answer me or do anything I asked you to, I'll ask you a personal question and you'll have to answer it or the potion will mark a letter from the Loser in your forehead.

'As your DADA teacher I'll ask you questions involving hexes, curses, charms, etc… I'll ask you to perform them in these rats' he pointed to a box full of petrified rats near him.

Ginny looked at him and then she cracked up laughing.

'Get outta here, Malfoy! Dumbledore would never let you use these methods in a detention!' she managed to say between laughs to a very angry Malfoy in front of her. He recovered fast and muttered a Petrificus Totalus. Ginny froze and she felt a liquid make its way down her throat.

'Finite Incantation' Malfoy walked to Snape's desk and got a parchment with questions on it. Ginny was so shocked she didn't react.

'First go, Miss Weasley. Components of a Shield Potion'

'But that's not your subject-'

'You have two seconds to answer before I ask three personal questions. This is rather like Truth or Dare, is it? I really enjoy playing this game…' Malfoy had a smirk on his face that made Ginny uneasy while muttering her answer.

After some questions, Ginny was getting tires and not seeing the point of this detention. Malfoy kept testing her now with her jinxes and hexes, etc…

Almost thirty- something spells after Malfoy asked her:

'Now, I want you to use the Finnigan curse in this rat.'

Ginny's eyes wided. Why? Why was he doing this to her? Lily'd been wrong to say he was worried when he was talking to Snape, he knew it would hurt her and he wanted his payback.

'So, Miss Weasley…I'm waiting…If you don't know the spell, Miss Weasley, it's Finnigus Finnigan' he pointed at a white rat besides Ginny when a blue-ish spark came out of it.

The rat was very still but then with a final noise the rat collapsed on the table.

'Upsie...rats don't last long, do they?' Malfoy was now observing Ginny's pale reaction. Her eyes full of tears, her wand facing the floor and her mind reliving moments in her life she ought to let forgotten.

He saw her hands shaking but then she stopped saking, she raised her wand at the other rat and her eyes were clean, bright and cold. The rat stooped shaking but he was not dead because it was not her intention to kill it through that curse.

Malfoy was stunned. For a moment he thought he'd seen Ginny's flaw, her weakeness but then she faced her fear though he didn't know why she acted like that every time the curse was mentioned.

'You're a bloody bastard, you know, Malfoy?' she muttered.

'What was that, Weaslette?' he asked angrily.

'You've heard me, Sir' she replied locking her eyes in his.

'I thought you'd learn your lesson…perhaps not, Weaslette.' He approached her but Ginny made no move to back off.

'I'm not scared of you, ferret. I've lived too much to be afraid of you.' She snapped.

'Well, that's not the way to talk to your teacher, Miss Weasley' he sneered.

She smirked ' For me, you'll never be nothing more than a ferret, Malfoy.'

'Fifty points from Gryffindor' he shouted in front of Ginny but she didn't make a movement. 'If you keep this up you'll have a month detention, Weaslette and a letter to Dumbledore. You'd not like that, would you?'

'Do it…see if I care.' She replied under her breath.

There was a pregnant moment while they kept staring at each other through angry eyes. They hated each other but they're move identical than they knew at the moment.

'I have to go, Professor Snape is waiting for me' Ginny said simply grabbing her bag but a strong hand stopped her.

'I still have three questions for you, Miss Weasley. Three embarrassing questions…'

Ginny narrowed her eyes, she was at the edge of angriness but she thought 'What the heck!'

'Sure, go ahead, Professor'

'You'll be sorry to mess with me, Weasley…' he placed his papers in his suitcase; it had his initials in green and silver. 'So typical' Ginny thought rolling her eyes.

'I'm warning you…IF you abuse –' Ginny threatened but Malfoy interrupted her.

'Respect, Weaslette! And now we'll play the real game…' he sneered at her.

She glared annoyed.

'What were you doing with Potter when I caught you by the darkest corner of the Black Lake last year?' he asked and to his satisfaction he saw Ginny trying to fight the potion and finally giving up and answering:

'I was about to snog Harry' she said plainly 'Again, he's a marvelous kisser, the best of the best if you ask me' she added.

Malfoy looked at her. So, Weaslette was not that innocent. She and Potter had a little party going on in the dark…he couldn't wait until he told Ronald about it..the look in his face ought to be great.

'Are a virgin as your brother think?' he smirked and looked at his watch. The potion was wearing of by now; he hoped it would last until she answered. Ginny noticed his movement and kept her mouth shut for a while. She could see Malfoy growing impatient. She smirked and then she answered with a big grin. Whatever Malfoy expected the answer to be, it was not that…

'No, I'm not. Harry made sure I was fully pleased, in all and every way possible. More than anyone could ever do to me' she could see the shock in his eyes and…what? It was not possible! Envy? Jealousy?!

'So Pott-head is that good, huh… Well, your brothers will be glad to know that'

'Oh yeah, tell them you'd never please me the way Harry had.'she said still with a smirk on her face that he didn't noticed.

For a moment he had a hurt look in his eyes but then it disappeared. Ginny narrowed her eyes but then she started laughing so hard she startled Malfoy.

'The potion is off… and me too.' She said pulling her bag up her shoulder and headed to the door.

'So was it the potion talking or she?' he wondered as Ginny stepped out of the classroom. She was really beautiful so Malfoy couldn't help check her out, her perfect bum and long legs…

Wait a minute, his mind shouted, this is She-Weasley we're talking about! She's not pretty, she's ugly, really really ugly! Malfoy sighed as another voice inside his head snapped, Keep telling you that.

--

As Ginny headed to the Great Hall she scowled herself. Goddamint , that bloody ferret! He's so fuckin' stupid, the fucking bastard!!! I hate him, I hate him, I –

Thankfully it was not as bad as she thought it would be… apart from the little rats, at least he brought old rats and sick ones, he would have to kill them after so many spells…now the worst part of her evening: Severus Snape.

She opened the door of the Great Hall and surprisingly it was still full of students finishing their dinners and some walking to their dorms. She could see Dumbledore in the Head Table, Lily, James, Sirius, McGonagall, the Bloody Ferret (How did he get there before I did?, she thought heading to the Professors' table), Hagrid and Snape.

She headed towards Snape trying to ignore all the boys' eyes staring at her as she walked by.

'Good evening, sir.'

'Good evening, Miss Weasley' he said. Ginny gave a quick look the table and she saw James and Sirius glaring Snape and whispering wildly. When they saw her glancing them they waved at her and she smiled. Snape sneered and said:

'I want you Miss Weasley to clean the floor of the Great Hall, without magic'

Ginny smirked 'Clean what, sir? The Great Hall is completely clean, sir…'.

Snape looked over her to see an empty Hall and a shining floor. He glared at Sirius and James that were talking about Quidditch 'You did this!'

'Did what, dear Severus?' James said in a sweet fake voice.

'Dumbledore!' Snape shouted 'They're doing it again' he was acting as a child.

'Oh, Severus… they've done nothing' he chuckled. Dumbledore winked at Ginny that smiled back winking at him. He could always see pass her…she had cast a cleaning spell in her head and buff, the Great Hall was clean and free of students.She knew Dumbledore would not tell her off, he knew Snape too well to know he loved to give her detentions.

'So, can I go, sir? There's nothing here to me to do…' she said in a sweet voice.

Snape looked at her through dangerous eyes but then nodded.

Ginny greeted them goodbye and then she ran out of the Hall before Snape could take his word back. She glanced the points and as she predicted the Slytherins were in front with 150 points and Grynffindor had 10 points, correction, as she stepped out Snape took fifty points for not having a detention and then Sirius gave her sixty for tricking Snape and James took twenty points from Slytherin for Snape being a jerk, (Dumbledore laughed at this bickering with the points but then he replaced the twenty points to Slytherin).

So, a very pale and hungry Ginny walked to the kitchens to get food. She had her rounds tonight and she had to eat or she would fall unconscious on the floor as she used to when she skipped meals.

She had to have extra attention to her meals; she didn't like to faint in the middle of the school. People always thought she was an anorectic. (She was really thin but healthy and athletic thin)

--

(Later that day, during rounds)

'You said that! You're crazy, Gin!' Luna was walking by Ginny's side as they did the rounds.

'You should have seen his face, Luna' Luna giggled and Ginny laughed 'He was like a golden fish, opening and closing his mouth when I walked out of the room'

'He actually asked you that! Oh, my! I don't want to have a detention with him…what would he think if I told him what went on with me and Daniella, last year when we were so drunk we couldn't get on our feet, remember?'

'Oh, yeah…I think he would be turned on…' Ginny joked and Luna blushed.

'It was just a kiss! We were drunk!'

'Sure, that why you too are so embarrassed around each other now…'

'Eh!' Luna replied faking a hurt voice.

Ginny laughed and walked with her friend to her dorms.

'So, her you are… your rounds are finished.' she said dropping Luna by the Ravenclaw portrait.

'Don't stay up long, okey?' Luna said.

'Don't you worry, mommy… I'm going straight to bed' she winked at Luna and walked away to her dorm.

She walked through corridors, they were all empty… it was so calm to walk by them at night, so relaxing…it so easy to think about her life during her rounds. She was used to do them as she was a Perfect for two years. She loved to walk by the portraits and hear them snoring and chitchat with one an others.

She was so deep in thought she didn't see a black shadow coming from one of the corridors.

'Yeh, who's there?' A man's voice called and Ginny turned around with her wand raised.

'Oh, it's you Weasley.' Malfoy was just beside her in a dark outfit; black t-shirt and jeans.

'Doing my rounds.' she said continuing walking.

'Not doing them well, if you ask me –

'I didn't' she muttered.

'You should be alert to everything and you didn't notice me approaching.' He said walking in the same direction as Ginny.

'Care to disappear, Malfoy?'

'No, you see, I do what I want when I want it, and besides I'm a Professor now, which means I can take points from you for not calling me Professor. Ten points to be exact.'

'Whatever...' she whispered. She was getting tired of Malfoy, he was always so self centred and big headed.

'I saw what you did in the great Hall. Snape was furious with what happen.'

'But I didn't do a thing'

'Exactly, Miss Weasley. A good non-verbal spell… and efficient.'

'I stand my ground. I didn't do a thing.' She was growing even more tired of him. Why was he talking to her after what happen in detention?

'Of course, how could I forget? Miss Virginia Weasley is a saint. That's why everyone worships her.' He said in a sarcastic voice.

'No, Malfoy. Everyone likes me because I'm not a fucking bitch and a bloody stupid git' she said turning left. Malfoy followed her with an evil grin in his face.

'No, you're a goody-two shoes, aren't you, Weaslette? I know that you're not that saint or goody you claim to be... I know you have something to hide and I'll find it, girl.'

'Are you done? I wish to go to my room, now. If you let me, of course' she said in a low voice.

'Well, I'm not but go ahead… I'm heading the same way.' He answered.

'Can you leave me alone, I had enough for one day, sir' she was not feeling right. She was feeling goose bumps. Malfoy was so close she could feel his heat. He is gorgeous, she thought but she scowled herself for it, yeah and a bloody bastard and a fucking player too, who happens to be your enemy and a dark magic lover.

'Nope, I won't Weaslette'

'Care not to call me that, sir!' she burst. She'd wanted to take a piece of him since the detention but when she heard the nickname he called her, she just burst. 'I'm tired! I had had enough from you! This was supposed to be my free year, the year I wouldn't have to take up with you or your cronies anymore 'cause I hate you, I despise you will more than my life.'

'Weasley, I warning you –'he said in a dangerously low voice.

'I DON'T CARE! I'M JADED! YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO GOOD, DON'T YOU? Then guess what? You're not. You're always so jealous of Harry that you picked on everyone who was his friend… Is it because he had them and you didn't? I think so…Malfoy. You can fool Dumbledore as Snape did but I know that you are bad you're not a good person and you despise everyone that doesn't do what you want…So, don't dare you threaten me…'cause I'm not a chicken, I'm a fiery tempered Weasley and I'm the Head Girl. I'm not going to do everything you want me to, 'cause it's just not me'

Malfoy was pale, never had he seen Ginny like this. She had an angry energy dancing around her. Now he was sure of his theories.

'I could get you expelled, Weasley for what you said but –'

'Know, what, Professor? I don't care anymore…be a jerk and give me a thousand detentions. Expel me if you want. You hate me as much as I do you, and I could get you fired for what you did in my detention, so why not let it be…' she turned away and entered her portrait.

Malfoy glared at her back. How dare her treat him like that? He was after all her professor and besides…not all she said was true. She didn't know him to say those things.

Ginny sat in one of the couches and cried all the pain she had inside. As once before she was crying because of a blond man who made her loose her temper. She couldn't take him anymore, at least last year she could make him payback his sneers and comments…

--

A week went by and still Ginny did not talk or said a word to Malfoy. During classes she did not answer questions not even when Malfoy asked her directly. Her colleagues were worried about her but only Luna knew why she was loosing her active personality during DADA classes. Ginny was ahead in that class. (Having Harry as a best friend did that, he taught her more than the textbook did).

During the detentions, Malfoy made her do copies and she didn't say a word to him.

It was only in the last detention of the week that he made her talk. It was a Friday evening and Ginny was already at the door of his office when Malfoy arrived.

'So, Miss Weasley. Are you ready to do another copy?' he asked walking inside.

Ginny sat at her usual table and took her quill and parchments out of her bag.

'This text you're about to copy is about Ginger Angels.' Ginny's eyes wided but she tried not to look surprised. Of course she knew all about them, but what was he trying to do?

'Here we go…' Malfoy gave her the text and Ginny started her copy. 'I thought it would be interesting since you're one…'

Ginny stared at him. He knew…

'What – how – what?!' she shuttered.

'I figured it out last year but know I'm sure.' He said with a smirk on his face. It was weird having her ignoring him during the week, so he got a way to make her speak. He noticed that Ginny had not the red orange hair of the Weasleys and that she was much more bright that any of them. First he thought it was because of being a girl but then one day Dumbledore borrowed him a book about mythical creatures and their curses and he found the Ginger Angels.

'I bet you can do perfect wand-less magic, listen to what the nature says…' he continued after telling her how he found out.

'I'm not a ginger angel' she defended herself.

'Then why are you so afraid of the Finnegan curse? Why do you faint when you skip meals? Why do you have that sparkling blood red hair?'

'I don't know what you're talking about…' but she knew. Since she was little she was a bit different from her brothers. The day she showed magic powers was the day her mother knew she was different. She was blessed and cursed with a magic not all the witches had. She, Virginia Weasley, was part-elf.

'Don't worry, I won't tell your deepest secret…' he smiled. Draco Malfoy was SMILING!

Ginny was shocked. He was smiling and he had a wonderful smile, it made his face so beautiful so pure…STOP!, her mind shouted.

She stood up, his smile faded. Perhaps I'd not have told her I knew her secret, he thought.

'Weasley, don't go running on me now. I'm not scared that you're a ginger angel.'

'Sure, I can hear you already, joking because of it. "Weaslette, what did the wind said today?", "Having nightmares during daylight, Weasley?", leave me alone, Malfoy.' She yelled angrily. Why? Why did he found out? No one knew of this besides her parents, Lily (who found out by herself), Hermione and Luna and of course Dumbledore.

She was not as dangerous as a werewolf but she was very powerful and uncontrollable if extremely angry or upset.

'I'm not afraid of you, Weasley.'

'I bet you don't. The great Malfoy doesn't fear anyone! For six years I kept this secret from everyone. Many don't know what it is…but you do, sir. So, I'll have to ask you to dismiss me. I don't want to burst out like last time. It was very difficult to keep my curse inside of me. But what do you know about its means?' she pulled her bag into her shoulder but Malfoy grabbed her.

'We are more alike than you think, Virginia' he said in a calm voice. Ginny looked at him; she liked the way he said Virginia…

Was he trying to befriend her? 'Why?'

'Why, what?'

'Why are being nice to me?' she asked in a shaking voice. She knew people were afraid of difference, she knew that almost everyone would run away from her if they knew she was half-elf and as powerful as she was. 'You shouldn't be nice to me. You're Malfoy, you should be mocking me for not being pureblood, you should be threatening me…or maybe you're too afraid of me you want to be in my good side!'

Malfoy looked at her and the next thing he did was inexplicable. He leaned in and kissed Virginia Weasley, his arch enemy, the girl he hated the most and the brightest and fieriest tempered witch he ever met.

A/N: SO??? What did you think of it? Any guesses of what the curse does? Give u a tip: it's a bit like Crucio…

What about Ginny's secret? Why is she so afraid of it? Tip: I can hear you already joking…

What will Ginny do about the kiss? Did she really do those things with Harry?

A duel, a new seeker, Luna and Ginny's conversations, Ginny and Daniella's conversations, a bit more about this new character and Daniella's friendship with the special guest of James Potter class. ETC!!!

These and lots more in the next chapter…so please review and keep reading…If I get more than five reviews this week I'll post the chapter 4 before next Sunday…

;-)

See ya,

Miss Evelyn Summer

P.S- I know Ginny is quite agitated in this chapter but I based her in my own experience. I have a guy in my class that keeps joking about everything I do and some times I just wished I could slap him, I have to control myself so well not to hurt him badly (because I could if I wanted to, I used to do Karate, brown belt) , so Malfoy is like being that guy that jokes about your grades and your quite personality. Ginny had to put up with it for six years and now she's full and tired of him so she bursts.

Ah, about Ginny in last chapter being locked in her room and missing her lunch, I meant it as skipping the meal in the Great Hall, not skipping it at all.

I hope it's clear! Bye, see ya later...
