The Other Potter

Chapter 46

"Where the hell have you been? I've been looking all over for you?" Ginny practically shrieked as she came power walking into our bedroom throwing her stuff onto her bed before coming to join me on my bed. After staying with Ritchie a small while I had left after giving him a quick kiss to the forehead.

I'd gotten to the room about twenty minutes ago and had promptly flopped onto my bed face first. Topaz had quickly scurried down and I had been stroking her softly ever since, other than that I had not moved since. "I'm sorry Ginny" I said rolling over to sit up crossed legged facing her "I wasn't up for class or really talking to anyone" I added feeling guilty.

"Harry's flipping out about you skipping class, apparently Daphne told him and Blaise that she spent most of last class with you" Ginny explained frowning slightly "Said you seemed upset but were okay" Ginny added watching me.

"I was hiding out in one of the alcoves and overheard the sixth years freaking out over Snape and Harry and Blaise both seemed worried, Daphne didn't have class so she was going to check if I was in Herbology and let them know" I started explaining to Ginny. "I didn't want her to spend her entire free class looking for me so I went and met her on her way back to the castle" I added not wanting Ginny to think I'd rather talk to Daphne than her.

"Why don't you want to talk to your brothers?" Ginny asked and I groaned even thinking about it. "There are a few ways a conversation with either of them could go and I don't really want to have any of them right now" I said with a shrug.

"The first way" I said noticing Ginny's confused look "would be about our surprise Occlumency lesson with Snape this morning" I continued lifting up my forefinger to demonstrate the number one. "The second way would be about my kiss with Draco" I said after Ginny's nod that she was following.

For a moment I let my thoughts drift to what Daphne had said earlier about Draco and Blaise getting into a punch up. I shook the thoughts off quickly before moving on. "The third would be about what happened in Charms today" I said rolling my eyes just thinking about it.

"What happened in Charms today?" Ginny asked confused and I remembered that Ginny would have no way of knowing "Oh, yeah you weren't there" I said nodding my head before taking a deep breathe to start Harry seems to think that Peter Pettigrew told 'you know who' where I was' I said playing with the comforter on my bed.

"Apparently he's the reason my family is dead" I said angrily before sighing "And Ritchie is in the hospital wing because he decided to take on a troll for me" I added causing Ginny to let out a laugh. "And you know McLaggen is probably after us after what happened down in the dungeons" I added and Ginny laughed again.

"I'd like to see him try" she said smiling "between all our angry house mates and our brothers and their friends, doubt he'd make in a few feet" Ginny added and I smiled in agreement. "Perhaps you should go talk to Dumbledore, explain the whole skipping class thing" Ginny suggested and I nodded before frowning. "I really do not want to talk to Harry or Blaise right now" I said sadly "I'm sure the second I leave this room Harry will be on me for sure" I added with a groan.

"I'll go with you" Ginny suggested before standing and stretching "Besides it's not like you can avoid dinner. I know for a fact you didn't have lunch and Colin and Jack already gave you up to Harry for not really having breakfast this morning" Ginny said before grabbing my hand and leading me out the door.

"Hermione" Ginny and I both said startled at running into her upon leaving the room to walk downstairs. "Harry sent me up, are you okay?" Hermione said looking at me "I'm fine, off to see Dumbledore actually" I said shifting uncomfortably.

I expected for Hermione to argue, tell me that I needed to speak with Harry first. "Okay" Hermione nodded in agreement of me going to speak with Dumbledore which shocked me to say the least.
