Chapter 10: Soul Sisters Bonding

"Hey, Retina! What'd Snape want?" Grace asked as Ginny sat down.

"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to let me know that Luna, Parvati, Padma, Cho and I are spending Christmas Break at Malfoy Manor with you guys. Something about him having told my father about me after my Heritage Potion and him wanting to meet me, something like that." Ginny said, raising an eyebrow at Draco when he spit his drink out.

"You're staying where?!" he asks after cleaning up.

"Malfoy Manor. Apparently my Aunt Nia is there and wants to see me, and both her and Snape have told my parents about me. They want to meet me, but they might not tell me they are my parents. Mean of them, right? Anyways, Trin, want to spend the next couple days with just me and Luna?"

"YAY! Hey, can Dray come? I'm sure he would love some alone time with you!" Ginny and Draco blush while slapping Trinity on the arm.

"No, sorry, he can't come. Just us three."

"Okay. Sorry, Dray! Guess you'll have to wait longer to shag Retina senseless." everyone busted out laughing while Draco threw a sandwich at Trinity saying, "Shut up!"

Ginny stared at Draco, blushing, before saying, "W-Well, umm, okay. C'mon, Lu! Trin! We're gonna start now! Okay?! Okay!" and she got up and ran, followed by Luna, who was smiling, and Trinity who was giggling like mad. This leaving everyone in the group laughing, Draco blushing.

Ginny, Luna, and Trinity sat underneath a tree by the Lake. They were lying on their backs, their heads near each others, looking up at the clouds. Trinity came up with the idea, saying that they could get to know each other by telling what each cloud looked like to them, and then give reasons why they think it looks like that shape. It actually worked. They learned a lot about each other just from looking at the clouds.

Their peace was disturbed by an owl landing on Ginny's stomach. She took the note and read:

Dear Ria,

Mum and I just got your letter. Sorry 'bout the wait, but we couldn't send it when Dumbledore and the Order was watching you so closely. We have been in contact with Nia, and she convinced us to answer your questions, though, she insisted you would figure it out because of your game. Anyways, I cannot tell you directly who your parents are, in case this is intercepted, but I can tell you that your parents are alive. And that they are two of the most powerful Dark Wizards in a century and that they are also figuring out the riddle. I was the one who arranged for you to stay with Trinity Malfoy at Malfoy Manor. Do not hate me for it, it was done purely for you to see your parents. Write me while at the Manor and let me know how far you finish the riddle. If you still don't get it, and they don't reveal themselves, then I shall write the information down no matter what.

Trust me, Ria, you will figure it out.

Tonks

"SUF!" Ginny shouts.

"What's unfair, Retina?" Trinity asks, her eyes still closed.

"'Meda and Tonks! They just gave me more hints! Stupid bloody interception keeps them from writing it all down clear!"

"Oh! Hey, I know what will calm you down! Why don't we write a song?! At Malfoy Manor, on Christmas Day, we give performances at the party! We can get up there and sing! C'mon, Retina! You have an amazing voice! And so do you Lu! I have an okay voice but still! We'll sound so amazing!"

"Alright, get some parchment out of my bag!" Luna says, sitting up.

"Yeah, okay, Trin. That sounds good!" Ginny replies, she herself sitting up. They spent the rest of the day writing their song and working on others. They made four songs. One for them to sing together, and one for each of them to sing solo. They planned for them to each sing solo before singing the group song, and then singing in a group. Ginny, her having the better voice, would sing her solo last before the group song.

--

"No way! Trin! That's so not being put in my song!" Luna said, laughing hysterically.

"But it's so sweet! And I'm sure Blaise Zabini would appreciate it!" Ginny says while stifling her giggles. Luna blushes and Ginny and Trinity laugh harder.

"Oh, shut up! I do believe, Retina, that you and a certain dragon are getting cozy as well. What do you think, Lady Trinity?" Luna said, this shutting Ginny up immediately.

"No! No, we d-don't have to talk about it! You don't have to add it!"

"Too late, Retina darling! Lady Trinity?"

"I quite agree, Lady Luna! They have been quite cozy, indeed! Too bad that neither has the guts to shag the other!"

"Trinity! That is no way, at all, for a Lady to speak! We are Dark Ladies and must act as such!" Ginny says, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, Lady Retina! You just wish for me not to say such words, for they are about you and our dearest dragon, Lord Draco, and you wish to change the subject!" Trinity says, laughing.

"Whatever, dearest Trinity, but we must get back to our songs."

"Quite right." Luna says.

--

"So?!" Trinity says while stepping up next to Ginny.

"So, what?" Ginny says.

"Did either of you ask each other out yet? I mean, you guys are doing a horrible job of courting each other, why not just ask out? Seriously!"

"Dearest Trinity, I don't have a clue as to what you are talking about!"

"GRRR……C'mon!" Trinity grabs Ginny's arm and pulls her to Slytherin Common Room, "Pureblood…… Draco!! Draco!! Blaise, where's Draco?!"

"Umm, er, um…."

"You're no help! Theo?"

"He's in the library."

"Yeah, right! We just came from there. Damion? Remember, I'll know if you're lying."

"He's --" but at that moment, Draco stepped out of the fireplace.

"Where do you always go, dearest brother?"

"Er….. Umm…." Draco looked at the guys for help.

"Never mind! Retina darling, wasn't there something you wanted to ask my darling brother?"

"No." Ginny says, looking down and blushing.

"Always the shy one! Retina, here, would like to know if you'll go out with her. Will you?" Trinity says, smiling evilly. Ginny is looking down at the ground, blushing madly, while Draco stands there staring as if waiting for someone to yell, "April Fools!" but no one did. Ginny glared at Trinity before stalking out of the Common Room.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Brother! You are supposed to give an answer! Go and get her! NOW!" Trinity says softly. She grabs Draco and pushes him through the door, into the corridor. He has no choice but to follow Ginny and talk to her.

"Retina! Retina, wait!"

Ginny stopped and turned around, saying, "Why? So that you can laugh at me because your sister can't be quiet? So that you can tell me I'm stupid, and foolish, and… and…. whatever bloody else there is you think I am?! I don't think so! God!"

She then turned back around and started to walk off. Draco stepped forwards and grabbed her wrist, turning her around slightly, "Retina…. I'm not going to laugh. I'm not going to call you stupid, or foolish, or anything else. Nothing except Retina."

Ginny turned all the way around to look at Draco. She had tears rolling down her cheeks. Draco couldn't help himself and kissed her. At first, Ginny didn't respond from shock, but then she was kissing him back. Ginny lost all self-control, she couldn't think straight, for wherever Draco touched her, he made her skin feel like it was on fire. She didn't want him to stop, but unfortunately, as fate would have it, they heard a wolf-whistle. They jumped apart to see the whole group -Blaise, Damion, Theo, Briant, Pansy, Millicent, Grace, Padma, Parvati, Cho, Luna, and Trinity- standing there smiling. Trinity was at the front of the group, smiling wider than any of the others at Draco and Ginny.

"It's about damn time, you two!" Blaise shouted.

"Yeah, seriously, mate! Could you have been any slower with her?! We thought you two would finally get together when you were, like, a hundred years old!" Damion says.

"Shut up!" Draco and Ginny say together.

"YAY! They're already speaking in unison!!" Trinity said laughing. "Let's go and announce to the world the good news! Draco Malfoy and Ginevra "Retina" Weasley are together!…..OH! WAIT! Retina, darling, you have to end things with Harry!" Ginny only smiled happily.

They arrived in the Great Hall, and Ginny went over to Harry, tapping him on the shoulder, "Harry? Can I speak to you in private?"

"Whatever you have to say to me, can be said in front of Ron and Hermione. Sorry, Ria but I don't feel like getting up and I think you and Hermione should get along again."

"There's no way I'm getting along with that Kaqa Bitch!" Hermione said hotly.

"Like I want your friendship, you filthy mudblood whore!" Ginny retorted.

"RIA! I don't want you calling her that!"

"Oh, but she can call me a Kaqa? Nice to know! This makes things a hell of a lot easier! WE! ARE! THROUGH! GOT IT?!"

Harry looked as if he was slapped in the face, "W-What?"

"We're through, Harry Potter! I won't be with someone who won't stick up for me! Not to mention, I don't feel anything for you other than sisterly love. I love you like a brother, or a friend, but not as a lover. Got it?!" she turned to leave, but Harry grabbed her arm.

"You have no right to say that to me, Ria! I pick when a relationship ends! Not you!"

"Let go of me, Potter!"

"No!"

"NOW!" and after she said that, a bowl of chocolate pudding dumped onto Harry. The whole hall busted out laughing at him, and Ginny smiled wickedly. "You should know, Potter, that I am not to be messed with! You'll pay dearly for anything you do to me! I still haven't got my revenge for what you did to me before my birthday! Did you think I forgot? Do you think I forgot about how you left me in that secret passage after doing that to me?! I don't forget, Potter, I never forget!" and she walked out of the hall, her friends following behind.

--

"Lady Trinity! It's lovely to see you! So sorry I haven't been able to spend time with you and Lady Luna. How is your darling brother, Lord Draco?"

"Oh, he is fine, Lady Retina! It's quite alright, we've been busy as well. How far along with your song are you? How 'bout you, Lady Luna?"

"I have finished mine. You, Lady Trinity?" Ginny says.

"Same. Lady Luna?"

"I still can not fathom as to what I should put at the end. Any ideas?"

"I still say you put that one line," Ginny said, getting slapped on the arm, and adding, "but come to think about it, no way! Not a good option!"

"Very good choice, Lady Retina!" Luna said cheerily. "Any good ideas as to what I can add?"

"Nope!" Ginny and Trinity said in unison.

"Whatever! You two aren't gonna help me just so that I'll add that line!" Luna said, pouting.

"Got that right!" Trinity said with glee. "I can't wait for next week! Cos' then we start packing, and then we have our last class, and then we leave for Malfoy Manor! And after that, we'll spend loads of time with my family and Retina's family, and not to mention, Retina and Draco could be alone and maybe finally shag!"

Ginny blushes and slaps Trinity in the arm, while yelling, "TRINITY! Draco and I are not going to shag! Sheesh! Though you made an unwanted comment, I must agree that I can't wait for next week! I can't wait until I get away from Potter and his mudblood bitch!"

The girls nodded in agreement and headed back into the castle, unaware of the people watching them.

A/N: Hey people! Sorry I haven't updated this fic in awhile! I got caught up in all my ideas for new fics and ideas for my older ones. But I'm getting better at splitting my computer time equally between all my fics, so I'll update more often.

Thanks to all who reviewed the last couple chapters!!

Luv Yas!
