The Phoenix and His Basilisk (Completed)

Slate Streets for Timeless Neutrality

Ginny slipped into the kitchen, where chefs were preparing the dishes, tiredly. They worked nonstop to be able to make enough food for the entire school.

She pushed one into his soup, uncaring of the pain she caused him.

After all, it's not like he would be able to do anything against her once she was queen!

Ginny smirked as she poured the pink, silvery potion inside a cauldron cake.

The chefs grumbled as she strutted through the kitchen as if she owned it.

They could do nothing, of course, so they could only glare at her from behind.

After completing her mission, she marched out.

Harry would soon fall in love with her, as he should've done so before!

Ginny stared at her prince from across the table.

He talked with his brothers and she enviously glared at them.

Fred and George had nothing on her!

Harry's green eyes brightened in laughter, and he grinned at the twins, his smile immediately brightening up her day.

His wings were sleek and they were folded against his back, and her own twitched with the thought of entwining them together.

Finally, one of the servants unhappily handed Harry a plate of her cauldron cake.

Harry blinked, and asked something.

The servant didn't answer, and then left.

Ron, who was next to her, snarfed down his chicken. "Ish he gowen woo eath ith?" (Is he going to eat it?)

Ginny wrinkled her nose.

Hermione glared at him. "Be patient, Ron! We just have to wait. He'll eat it for sure."

Ginny didn't notice a plate of cauldron cake being placed in front of Ron. He snatched it up and hobbled it down, just as Harry took a bite of his own.

Ginny's eyes widened and she grinned. Harry looked at her and she waited for him to jump up and race to her open arms, yet he just turned back to the little black haired brat that often followed the other red haired boy.

Ginny stared in disbelief.

She was sure it was going to work.

Then, she felt arms wrapped around her.

She screamed.

Soon enough, she would find that the chef actually switched the cauldron cakes. Ron got the amortentia-drugged one while Harry received the regular one.

Ginny was feeling rather hopeless, and could only think of one thing.

Getting revenge.

Romelia skipped through the hallways. She smiled as she clutched her book.

She couldn't wait to see Julio again!

Suddenly, she saw a cat walk past her.

Romelia smiled. "Hello!"

The kneazle looked at her. It had an ugly, smooshed face with orange fur and dark stripes.

She bent down to pet him. He meowed and allowed it, but then continued walking. He turned, as if to beckon her to follow.

She followed curiously. "Mr. Cat, where are you leading me?"
