The next morning Ginny woke up happy. As she lay in her bed she felt like she was back in her bed at the burrow. That Hermione was in the bed next to her reading a book. That Ron was downstairs stuffing pounds and pounds of food into his mouth, and Harry was sitting next to him laughing. That was the way things should be. But when she heard Paisley yell "Ginny! wake up." Ginny's mood plummeted downward and she was brought back to reality.

Ginny sent a dirty look to Paisley who countered back with her own look. Ginny growled and got out of bed to get ready for the day.

Before she went to the great hall for breakfast, she walked to the owlery. First she wrote a letter to her mother telling her she was safely at school like she did every year, and then she wrote to Blaise. Ginny realized that what he did for her last night was kind and he deserved to be thanked. Even if he was a Slytherin. So she wrote the note and attached it to an excited pig's leg and walked down to breakfast.

Blaise Zabini showed up in his dorm room late the night before and luckily his other room mates were asleep. That night he had a dream involving Ginny and him. Nothing inappropriate, they were just sitting and talking about normal things. This struck Blaise as odd considering every dream he had about girls were a little more exciting than that.

For some odd reason though, he woke up happy. Like that was the way things should have been. With that thought in his head he went to take a shower. The hot steam cleared his head of the dream a bit and he got ready for the day. He walked to the Great hall with Crabbe and Goyle. They were talking about the two new professors of the school, the Carrow Siblings.

Blaise internally shuddered as he remembered last night. Ginny and he could have been in so much trouble, and knowing the Carrow's, the punishment would have been painful. But with some quick thinking on his part they were both saved.

As he sat down at the Slytherin table he looked over to the red head who has been in his head. She was talking to another guy from her grade, Collin Creevey, and the doofus Neville Longbottom. However, looking over at Longbottom again Blaise couldn't help but notice the differences in him. He looked tougher somehow. His hair was a bit younger and he seemed to have matured. Not as baby faced.

Ginny laughed at something he said and Blaise suddenly remembered something. This was the boy she went to the Yule ball with in fourth year. Blaise knew he was being paranoid, knowing that Ginny was in love with 'The Chosen One', but he felt un easy at the thought of Ginny having feelings for Neville.

He shook his head and turned to Crabbe as he heard an extremely annoying voice. "There you are sweet heart! I missed you this morning!" pansy shrieked as she sat next to Blaise, almost on top of his lap. She nuzzled into his side and he made an inaudible groan of aggravation.

His eyes flashed over to the Gryffindor table and he saw Ginny looking at him out of the corner of her eye and smirking. He scowled and pushed Pansy off of him. "Cant you leave me along? Were not even dating!" he yelled at Pansy. Her eyes filled with tears and she stood up and strut over to her cow-friends.

Blaise sighed in relief and hit his head on the table with a thud. Goyle pat him on the back chuckling and Crabbe snorted. He told them to shut up as the owl post arrived. He looked up and saw his mother's sleek black owl soaring toward him. He smiled a little as he took off the letter of the majestic owl's leg.

As he was about to open it up something small and fluttery appeared before him. He laughed when he realized it was a small owl that he has seen before. It was Ginny Weasley's owl. He set down his mother's letter which was probably announcing another marriage of her's , and basically pried open the letter from Ginny.

Zabini,

Thanks for saving me last night. It was an unnatural kind thing for a Slytherin to do.

-Ginger

Zabini smiled broadly as he looked down at the letter and he even dared to look over at the Gryffindor table. Ginny was looking over at him and she gave him a quick wink before she looked away. He continued to stare at her for the rest of breakfast before heading off to class for his first class of his last year at Hogwarts.

After breakfast Ginny was in a good mood. She refused to admit it was because of Zabini's expression when he realized the letter was from her. She decided it was because of the spectacular eggs and bacon the house elf's served this morning. So as McGonagall passed out the schedules she wasn't really paying attention. So when she looked down at the schedule she was a little surprised.

"Umm, Professor, Im not in Muggle Studies, but here on my schedule it says I am." Ginny said.

McGonagall gave her a stern look and said "Well had you been listening, you would have heard me say that all students are required to take Muggle Studies this year. The headmaster believes it will be a good experience for you all."

Ginny blushed, embarrassed to be caught not listening, and nodded her head as McGonagall curtly walked off. Referring to her schedule she headed off to her first class this year, Herbology with the Hufflepuffs.

Herbology passed by quickly, as did Transfiguration and Charms. At lunch she saw a first year girl crying and her friends comforting her. Ginny quickly walked over to the girl and shooed away the other kids. The girl gasped when she saw her friends left and there was an upperclassmen standing before her with a concerned expression on her face.

Ginny put a hand on her shoulder and said "What's wrogn?"

The girl shuddered and said in a quiet voice, "I just got back from Muggle Studies with professor Carrow." Ginny frowned not sure what to expect from this. The girl took a deep breath and said "Well you see im a mu-" she frowned "Im a mud-blood."

Ginny pat the girls back and said "That is nothing to be ashamed of. My best friend was the greatest witch of her class and she was mud-blood. It is something you should be proud of." The girl smiled a bit and Ginny said "So what was wrong with the class?"

"Professor Carrow made Muggles seem like barbarian-istic freaks who are as dumb as a rock." She growled. Ginny's vision went red and she let out a hiss. So that's why Snape hired the siblings. To spread terrible prejudice lies throughout the school.

She could literally kill snape right now! She looked the girl in they eyes and said "What your name?"

"Valerie Smith." She said quietly.

"Let me tell you Valerie Smith, the new professors are wrong. They are trying to spread rumors so that their side of the war will sound like the right side. Its not. Its completely evil and terrible. I promise you Ill look after you." Then something else occurred to Ginny. "If you are a Mud-blood, then how are you at the school?"

Valerie smirked and said "My best friend at the school convinced his parents to pretend that im their child too. They are pretty high up in the ministry." Ginny grinned as she thought about doing the same thing for Hermione.

Ginny departed from Valerie, promising she would talk to her later and walked to her next class. She had potions with Slughorn and they started the class the same way he does every year. Showing the class three interesting potions such as polyjuice, and felix felices.

Her last two classes of the day were the two involving the Carrow siblings, and Ginny wasn't exactly excited for it. She walked to Muggle Studies preparing herself from the worst. The first thing she noticed was that the class was with Slytherins. Great. The second thing she noticed was that this was a combined class of sixth and seventh years.

Ginny walked over to Neville and asked "Why are you in this class?"

Neville laughed and said "Don't try and sound too upset about it Gin." He looked at the annoyed expression of Ginny's face and continued "Apparently since everyone in the school is required to take this course, everyone is starting at the same level, so it doesn't matter which grades are with which." Ginny nodded and looked over toward the Slytherins.

Blaise stood in between Crabbe and Goyle, looking just like Draco Malfoy. Crabbe and Goyle must have needed a new leader and Blaise was the next best choice. Blaise looked like he realized this too because he stood in between the two with an annoyed expression on his face. Ginny laughed and turned to sit in between Neville and Collin.

After about a minute Alecto Carrow strode her way into the room. Without a 'good afternoon' she began the lesson in a mocking cruel voice. "This is the new and revised version of Muggle Studies." Giving a rude glare around the room she said "Now, who can tell me what a muggle is."

Neville raised his hand and with a smirk playing on her face and calculating smile tainting her lips she called on him. "A muggle is a person who is non magical."

Alecto rolled her eye and sneered "And?"

Neville sat up straighter in his seat, as if challenging the professor and said "They are just like us. The only difference is they don't have magical powers."

Alecto stared at Neville without blinking and said "Fifteen points from Gryffindor!" The outraged looks from the Gryffindors seemed to feed her power as she said "A muggle is a non magical disgusting piece of filth. They are worthless beneath us and that is the point of this class."

Every single Gryffindor in the room were on the edge of their seats, prepared to blast this pig headed wart into oblivion. Ginny herself was seeing red and before she knew it she was standing up. "They cant be any worse then you are!" she yelled.

Everyone gasped and Neville looked up at her proudly and he too stood up. "Very true Ginny. They don't hold stupid prejudice's against someone who don't have the same advantages as them."

Alecto's face purpled up, looking like the way Harry described his Uncle Vernon's face to appear. Ginny looked around at the other students and their were very mixed reactions. The Gryffindor's were in awe, some of the Slytherins looked slightly impressed, while others were shocked and angered that she had spoken to Alecto like that. Blais was hitting his head on the desk thinking Merlin Ginger! Control yourself! Do you not realize what this woman is going to do you!

Alecto's face slowly turned back to its normal color and she began to walk over to the two brave Gryffindors. "I see that you too are corrupted. Judging by you red ratty hair and hand me down clothes you must be a Weasley. And you ugly round face indicated you to be Longbottom. You two will have detention tonight to teach you what Muggles really are. Filth."

Ginny was shaking with anger as she grabbed her back pack and stomped out of the room.
