Aphrodite\'s Daughter

I dont own anything, I make no money, this is fanfiction.

Weeks in to the new term Hermione was finding that life in Slytherin wasn't all that different from Gryffindor, sure people studied more then in Gryffindor but all in all the joking, picking on each other, and sneaking food from the kitchen was all the same. Time went by too fast in this house though, and soon they were looking forward to Halloween this was a time that she missed Harry and Ron...stealing candy from first years, playing pranks on others, she missed talking with Ginny and asking her advise on everything from fashon or make up.
On the Saturday morning before the huge Halloween party; Hermione found herself practically being runover by Blaise and Draco, the latter was laughing his ass off, but Blaise looked nervous. He kept pushing his dark curls out of his light brown eyes, and pulling his full lower lip between his ultra-white teeth, he was cracking his knuckles and twisting his fingers together. When he decided to speak he had keep stopping then starting again.
"Hermione" He said "I was wondering if you could help me"
"With what?" Hermione was almost afraid to ask.
"I want to ask someone to the dance" He said
"You're Blaise Zabini, what problems could you have?"
"I want to ask out Ginerva Weasley" He said, looking down.
"Oh" Hermione said, understandingly behind Blaise, Draco was laughing
"I told him this was pointless, but he was hell-bent on getting your help" Draco explained "By the way, my father has given over his wizarding card and my mother wants to take us out to get customes for the dance"
"Whatever. Blaise I will see what I can do" Hermione said, she left after that.
While walking she went over what Draco had told her, Lucius was giving them money to go shopping. Some part of her was happy that she would be able to buy some awsome new clothes and that the were going to be nice and expensive. While walking she found herself going past the Gryffindor common room door, the fat lady was sitting there with a glass of wine and the smile that Hermione hadn't realized she missed until she was looking at it again. She was heading over to talk to her but as she drew closer, she saw the portrait was already talking to someone, trying to stop that someone from crying. When Hermione got about five feet from them she saw that red hair and wimpering of Ginny Weasley.
"Ginny?" Hermione asked, remembering how mad the other girl had been at her before.
"Oh" She sniffed, trying to dry her eyes quickly "Hermione, I didn't hear you coming...what do you want?"
"Are you okay?" Hermione moved to the stairs, and sat next to the younger girl
"I'm fine" Ginny answered, just as a sob caught her throat and she was started to cry all over again.
"What happened?" Hermione asked, carefully putting her arm around Ginny.
"I asked Harry what he wanted to go as for the Halloween dance, and he told me..." She hiccuped
"He told you?" Hermione prompted
"He told me that he was going to the dance with Parvati Patil" Ginny fell in to another round of sobs. Hermione held her friend for a long time, she would whisper to her sometimes, and then just not say anything at points, just letting her cry.
"Why are you being nice to me" Ginny asked.
"We're friends" Hermione answered without hesitation
"But I was so horrible" Ginny said
"You were angry" Hermione offered
"I was jealous" Ginny said angrily "And yet here you are talking to me, making me feel better"
"Like I said, we are friends no matter what happens to either of us"
"Miss Weasley...Miss Malfoy. What is going on here?" Came a very clipped and scottish voice "Miss Weasley are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine now, Professor McGonnagall. Hermione has been talking to me and making feel better....it was stupid boyfriend crap" Ginny explained
"As long as everyone is okay" She said, and then turned and walked off.
"OH, Hermione, I don't think that I will be able to go back in there. Harry basically told me to screw off in front of everyone and I made myself look stupid and pathetic because I was crying and snotting all over myself begging in him to 'please take me back'" Ginny said, looking at the door fearfully.
"Well, let's go see Professor Snape" Hermione said, standing up.
"Why, you think that he will make Harry's life even worse for me?" Ginny asked.
"Probably, but I was going to ask if you could spend the night in Slytherin house, then you could talk about how cool it is there and how guys hit on you and how you didn't think of Harry once" Hermione explained.
"Sounds awsome to me, let's go" Ginny stood and followed Hermione.
As the girls walked to the potion master office, Ginny told Hermione all about what was going on to whom in the classes. Turns out that Luna and Neville were dating, which was not that hard to believe and everyone found out that Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnagan were dating (Ginny had known for ages). Hermione told Ginny a few things about Slytherin and how it was different and alike at the same time, she told her some funny things about Pansy and Draco and even some about Blaise, though she kept it pretty light considering she was going to try to get them together.
"Come in" Snape said, when they knocked on the door.
"Professor Snape?" Hermione said, peeking around the door, the minute her eyes landed on him, she felt herself get hot all over, she wanted him to throw her on his desk and fuck the life out of her. She didn't even care if Ginny watched...hell she could join.
"Yes Miss Malfoy?" He asked, setting his quill down and leaning back.
"Professor Snape, I was wondering if Ginny Weasley could spend the night in the Slytherin house tonight" Hermione stated.
"Why?" He asked
"Well, she is my friend, and on top of that she is going through a hard time and could use some change" Hermione reported.
"Just don't let her know the password, and I don't see a problem with it, if that is all Miss Malfoy...goodnight" He said, picking up his pen and going back to grading.
They got all of her stuff and went to Hermione's common room. She had to make Ginny cover her ears as she could say the password (Gryffin Love) then they went in. Draco and Blaise were sitting on the couch debating over something stupid and both stopped when they walked in, Draco looked angry but Blaise looked like he was about to throw up...mixed with the fear that he might have a booger hanging out but didn't want to draw attention to it by wiping it away.
"Hey you guy's know Ginny Weasley, she is going to be staying here tonight" Hermione announced
"Why?" Snapped Draco
"Because I said so!" Hermione said, with equal venom.
"Why" Asked Blaise, smiling and standing up slowly.
"Because she needs to be around people with brains" Hermione answered, and winked at him.
"Well, ah...do you need help bringing stuff upstairs?" Blaise asked, rushing forward to Ginny with her stuff and tripping slightly, having to catch his balance on the back of the couch.
"You're allowed to go in to the girls dorm in this house?" Ginny asked him.
"Ah, no...no we arn't allowed to go in there" Blaise answered, his face actually getting darker with a blush that was forming there.
"Come on, Gin let's bring your junk up" Hermione said, grinning at Draco. When they arrived at the dorm room it was empty and Hermione thought it would be the best time to tell Ginny about Blaise liking her. Hermione had been worried that maybe he just wanted her because she was pretty and he wanted to fuck her. But after watching him make an idiot of himself trying to help her, she was pretty sure that he was being pretty honest.
"Ginny, I wanted to tell you something" Hermione said, moving to sit on the bed and motioning for Ginny to do the same.
"What is it?" Ginny asked
"There is someone who...ah likes you...wants to ask you to the dance" "Who?" Ginny asked grinning.
"Blaise Zabini" Hermione answered.
"Was that why he was tripping all over himself?" Ginny asked, face turning pink.
"Yes"
"Well, why don't we see what the boy's want to do tonight...maybe he will ask tonight" Ginny said giggling.
