A Rebel With A Tainted Heart

I'm Only Human

Who will I belong to when the day just won't give in

And who will tell me how it ends and how it all begins

Oh, no 

Oh no

Don't ever say goodbye

I'm only human

I said I'm only human

A Rebel With A Tainted Heart: Chapter 3

The professor led them along the empty corridor to where a gilt framed portrait hung. In the portrait was a magnificent golden lion and a calm emerald snake, intertwined with each other resting against a large rock. 

"These two will be the guardians of your Deputy Heads dormitory, the password is Emered," Professor McGonagall spoke, snapping the four out of their thoughts. Ginny couldn't help but feel that the lion and snake in the portrait represented her and Blaise. She smiled a little to herself; she wanted to be friends with him.

-Friends with benefits more like! Oh my god, did I just even think-- focus Ginny, never mind!

"Maverik?" Blaise asked the snake, catching Ginny's attention.

"Ah, Mr Zabini and Mr Malfoy, it isss a pleassssure to ssssee the pair of you again. My, my how you have grown," The snake hissed as happily as it could sound.

"You know the snake?" Ginny asked surprised.

"Of course, Maverik was always in one of the portraits in the various pathways of the dungeons. He always helped us if we got lost, didn't you Mav?" Blaise grinned and the snake nodded.

"That I did. Assss I recall, Mr Malfoy never got lossssst, but you refussssed to believe he wassss going the right way and ended up bringing him the wrong way. Ssssome things never change Mr Zabini hm?" The snake smirked.

"Oh haha, Emered," Blaise sulked as the portrait swung open.

"Knew I liked that snake for a reason," Draco chuckled behind him.

Ginny was blown away as she stepped into the Common Room. The walls were a deep blue and the sofas matched, but they had a gold trim. On the left was a roaring fire in a gorgeous old-fashioned fireplace. In the middle of the room were two large sofas and a comfy looking armchair. At the other side of the room was a large table and chairs beside a kitchenette.

"Sweet! Is there nutella?" Blaise asked excitedly.

"You know what nutella is?" Hermione asked, surprised.

"Please, we may be Purebloods and forced to do what we were told but that didn't mean we didn't rebel," Blaise scoffed and Draco nodded in agreement. Professor McGonagall was amazed, she never thought that there was more to the two boys than just Pureblooded idealism.

"I believe there is nutella in there Mr Zabini!" The Professor said, a hint of a smile on her lips. Blaise made to go to the kitchen but Draco stopped him.

"Blaise, I am not sitting here for hours waiting for you to go through all the bread and nutella you have. Now go back!" Draco rolled his eyes at his friend, and the three women looked on in amusement. Blaise just muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like 'stupid best friend ganging up on me not letting me have nutella.'
