A/N I don't own anything except the plot and the characters that aren't in harry potter.
The next day classes started. And in true perfect Ginny style I managed to be late to my first lesson. Potions with Professor Snape. I also earned a weeks worth of detentions. The rest of my mornings lessons went ok but I was glad when the lunch bell went.
I slumped down on at the table next to Blaise and across from Draco.
"Bad morning?" Draco asked.
I nodded.
" Whats up Red?" Blaise asked turning to me.
"She got a weeks worth of detentions period one." Stacy said as she ploped down next to me.
"Ouch who from?"
"Our head of house." I answered. "Prick."
"Now Now Ginervera watch your language." Fred said as he walked past.
"You can piss off an all." I snapped.
"Now whose upset our baby sister thats our job." George asked.
"Snape gave her a weeks worth of detentions." Blaise suplied.
"No way why?"
"I was late. I got lost."
"Aww Gin." Fred said an pulled me into one of his bear hugs.
"Thanks." I said hugging him back. "You should go before Ron hexes you for consulting with the enemy."
"Gin-bug your our sister and we shall talk to you regardless of what that git thinks ok?" George said.
"Thanks guys." I replied hugging George aswell. "I'm gonna head back to the common room. I can see a scene happening and I will kill anyone who pisses me off."
I walked slowly back towards the Slytherin common room. When I reached it the portraite of Salazar Slytherin decided yet again to give me trouble and not let me in. I sighed and sat down on the steps oposite.
"I'm not leaving." I told the stuborn portraite."I can sit here all day if I have to."
"Well your going to be waiting a long time." He hissed.
I'd been sat there for an hour at least when I decided to start my potions essay. I managed to finish it and was packing it away when Blaise spoke to me.
"Urm Red?" He started."Why you sat on the steps - Outside the common room?" He looked highly puzzled.
"Bloddy portraite wont let me in." I replied. The added "Again."
He chuckled and spoke the password. "Come on Red." He pulled me up. Then added as an after thought. "And Sir Can you please let Ginny in next time."
"You never can tell though Mr Zabine. Shes a spy mark my words. Mud-blood loving filth in my house its an hat should have been tortched years back."
"Oh do stop your whinging. Its quite pathetic." I said. "And i'm not a spy."
"You know hes the reason I was late this morning. He deliberatly shut on my robs and then refused to let me out." I told Blaise.
"Just threaten him with Dumbledore or letting Peeves loose on him." Blaise advised.
"Maybe I will." I replied over my shoulder as I walked away."Thanks."
"Any time." He smiled.
I smiled back and walked to my room to change for my detention. I ended up in jeans, a vest top and one of the twins old jumpers (The F on the front told me it was Fred's). I walked down stairs and looked at the clock on the wall.
"Great I'm going to be late again." I mumbbled to my self not realising that my friends were sitting in the room.
"Talk to your self often Red?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah looks like its the only conversations worth having."
"Ouch. Burn mate." Draco teased.
"So who wants to point me in the right direction for my detention?" I asked them.
"I'll walk you." Blaise offered. "I have to go find the twins any way."
"Thanks."
We walked the distance to Snape's classroom in relative silence.
"Here you go." Blasie said when we reached the door. " And your on time."
"Thanks Blaise."
"Want me to meet you after? You know in case you have any trouble with Old Sal?"
"No its fine I don't know what time i'll get out. I'll just try what you said."
Just then Snape opened the door.
"Your late again Miss Weasley."
"I'm afraid that was my fault Sir." Blaise said.
" along Miss Weasley I haven't got all day."
"You are to scrub the cauldrons from today's lesson." He smirked. "Without Magic."
"Yes Sir." I replied and set about the task i'd been set.
When I finished I said "Sir may I go now?"
"Yes."
I looked at the time on my watch and sighed. "Only Nine and i'm knakered."
I made my way back to the common room without getting lost. Once again I spoke the pass word and once again Old Sal. was being a git and i'd had enough.
"Look." I said to him. "I've had just about enough of you and your crap. Now unles you want me to give Peeves a blow torch and let him loose on you LET ME THE FUCK IN!" I half shouted at him. And to my surprise he did.
"Well that was easier than I thought." I mumbbled to my self as I steped through the portraite hole.
"What was easier than you thought?" Draco asked from his seat on the couch.
"That Bloody portraite keeps refusing to let me in." I sighed and sat next to him."Where is everyone?"
"Bed or in the kitchens."
"And so your sat on your own because?"
"I felt like it."
"Ok well i'll leave you too it." I said while standing up.
I walked up to my room and decided to go for a walk by the lake. I grabbed my guitar from my room and headed outside. I found a dry spot by the lake under an Oak tree that was growing there. I started Playing Hey there Delilah by the Plain White T's.(A/N Italics is Ginny and Underlined Italics is the other person Both together is Bold Italics)
Hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty, yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true
"Hey there Delilah don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely give this song another listen
Close your eyes, listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me"
It started raining. I sighed but kept playing. I thought I was alone so it made me jump when Draco started to sing the next verse.
"Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl, someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good, we'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away, I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall, we'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me"
"Sing with me?" He asked.
I noded and joined in on the next verse
"A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me"
The last note lingered in the air.
"Your pretty good Red." He smirked.
"Your not bad your self."
"We should get back. Unless you want more detentions for being out of bed after hours?"
We walked back to the common room in silence.
I turned at the bottom of the stairs and said "Night."
"Goodnight Ginny."
