"I'm Just Me": A Ginny Weasley FanFic Book 1

Chapter 43

"I'm telling you, that disgusting stuff you call Pepsi will never be as good as butter beer."

"Have you even tried Pepsi?"

"I don't need to. The name is disgusting enough, let alone having to put the stuff in my mouth!"

"Alright, alright. Enough." I held my hands up for peace and pushed Zeke and Cora away from each other.

"You two bicker like an old married couple." Rose said under her breath.
Zeke and Cora looked at her in absolute disgust.

"Him?"
"Her?"
Each of them pointed a finger at the other and looked away dramatically.

After meeting Zeke, he'd become really good friends with us.

I learned he transferred here from Ilvermorny, the American wizarding school, and that his parents were originally from here and upon hearing about Voldemort's return, moved back. His parents, Sirius and Remus were great friends with Harry's mum and dad and of course with the traitor.

They had moved to America once Voldemort had destroyed Harry's family. Even after Voldemort, Death Eaters still took their revenge in those days. But when Voldemort came back, they moved here so that Mr and Mrs. Mathers could be part of the Order.

Currently, Cora and Zeke were fighting over whether Pepsi (a type of Muggle drink; bubbles I think it's called) or butterbeer was better. I'm sure you know who picked which.

Zeke being a pure-blood and Cora muggle-born, both of them constantly competed to find better food items from each world. It was tiring.

Rose sighed and closed the textbook she had been trying to read.
"I'll never be able to study with these two around." She told me, her hand on her hip, the other one gesturing to our friends.

"They look pretty cute together don't ya think?" I nudged her, and she looked sad for a split second, before she nodded.

"Definitely. They look...perfect."

I gave her a weird look before I realized Zeke and Cora were screaming. At each other.

"My god! Would you two calm down? What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Rose screamed over their voices.

And to no avail.

Insert facepalm.

I put my wand to my throat and muttered a spell.

"FERFUCKSSAKE! SHUT IT!" I bellowed.
They stopped bickering and turned to me in surprise. Then they looked scared.

I turned around and saw Professor McGonagall looking at me sternly.

"Ah. Professor, I-I was just—,"

"Next time, Miss Weasley, do remember we have younger students running about. I do not want to expose them to such language so soon. Good day." She walked off and I just stood there with my finger pointed straight in the air and my mouth hanging open.

"I thought for sure you'd get detention." Cora groaned.

"Me too. Now, why were you calling us?" Zeke now had his arm around Cora, and she was smiling.

"Oh so now you don't want to kill each other? Wonderful. Ugh, my brain hurts."  God, their relationship is so bipolar.

"Aw Gin. It's all part of the fun." Zeke punched me in the arm playfully.
"Right Rosie?" He winked at her.

"Um. Yes. Totally." Rose blushed, but I must have imagined it. Rose doesn't blush. She only does when she likes a boy, and she doesn't.

Zeke looked at her in concern before looking at his pocket watch. He's old-fashioned in ways like that.

"Well ladies, I must go. I shall see you at dinner." He bent into a deep elegant bow, and turned walking with his head held high.

Rose giggled.

"Well, we do have exams coming up."

"Yeah. I think the fifth years are already taking their O.W.Ls now."

We walked upstairs into the common room where Fred and George were holding their brooms...wait a second. Their brooms got confiscated. How'd they get them?

"Fred..George, I know for a fact your broomsticks were confiscated. How did you get them back?" I asked slowly.

"You'll see little sis." They chorused.

"That is majorly creepy." Cora put her hands up to gesture like she usually did.

"Just wait and see."

You guys I am a horrible author. Go ahead call me any bad name. I deserve it.

On a brighter note, we see more of Zeke.

What are your opinions on Zeke? Who do you think he'll end up with?
