The start of school year in Hogwart's great hall seemed to be more solemn than it used to be. Room was profusely dressed with lights and every student was wearing dress suit. Houses shields hanged and presented with a proud. Friendly and full of pride Gryffindor, which sometimes reminded her feeling of loss or loneliness in a joyful crowd. Covered in yellow Hufflepuff with busy and loyal students who sometimes couldn't see the abandoned one. Clever and arranged students of Ravenclaw who hates changes. The last one, dressed in the green and introducing itself as a snake, inward-looking Slytherin.
Ginny Weasley felt little overwhelmed with atmosphere. It was going to be her one before last year in school. She couldn't find any of her friends, family members or boy, who she used to love. Question if she still love Harry as a boyfriend, not as a friend took her all holidays. She didn't even sure, but she cursed to think that she recognize Harry as an older brother, especially when he didn't have any time for her.
She left the great hall to take the air before the celebration. Hall, although it was magical, was still stuffy as it was normal, muggle-born's church. Ginger-haired girl leaned against the wall and sighed. She felt like stranger when she was surrounded with this crowd.
"Are you alright?" Someone's voice came to her from the left. She felt as sense of helplessness fill her guts but she turned to only student who showed her interest since she entered the school. With an amazement she saw one year older Slytherin, Blaise Zabini.
"What do you want?" She asked reluctantly and looked sideways. If it was anyone else she would tell him about her worries but one of Malfoy's "friends" wasn't a right person to confidences. He probably came only to mocking about her family end enjoy her pain. She clenched fists and in her brown eyes flashed fury. No one could offend her again. She won't allow it.
"Girl, stop jump to conclusions! You look like you will kill me if I say a word." He smiled. She frowned deeply. It wasn't normal Slytherin's student reaction. Maybe surprise on her face, maybe something different, caused that boy's expression changed into normal, contemptuous look. "Ginny..." He started but Weasley girl cut him off with an hostile snarl.
"You used to call me a traitor of blood." She barked. Strange situation and his cultural behavior absolutely shocked her that she didn't know how to behave. Was he really just joking?
"What are you doing with him?!" She realized that her brother, Ron, who appeared with Harry from nowhere was screaming at her. How dare him shout at her like she was a child just after left her in a crowd?! She turned to her family member with offense. He cut her off her thinking anyway.
"Not of your business." She answered simple. It probably pissed Ron off but she didn't care. Her stupid brother embarrassed her in front of people a moment ago. He opened mouth to snap back, but was ran by Zabini.
"I wanted to apologize for our argues, Ginny. If you want to talk, I'll be in Slytherin's common room." And he passed them to enter great hall.
Ron was still digesting information when his sister left them too and his best friend immersed himself in meditation about sense of his expired relationship.

It was a fact that Harry didn't have enough time for his girlfriend while holidays but he could justify himself with Sirius Black's death or meetings with Dumbledore. It was a fact but before now boy had never felt that Ginny is moving away from him more and more. Worries were poisoning his heart, when he remembered about situation in with he found his best friend's sister a moment ago. He sighed heavily and entered the Great Hall to greet a new school year. He had taken a place at the Gryffindor's table, opposite of Ron and looked around only to confirm his suspicion: Ginny was observing their opponents students from snake's house. He improved on the chair nervously and wrapped his hand under the chin. That was the longest ten minutes in his life when he was waiting for headmaster's welcome speech.
