Hermione Voldemort's Daughter

Chapter 27: Ti Amo, Ginny Weasley

Ginny and I stood in front of the snake-cladded painting.

"How do we get in?" I asked her. She looked at me in blank shock.

"I didn't think of that." she admitted. I laughed.

"Then how are we going to get Blaise to express his undenying love for you?" I wondered, looking around.

"Elddir, Weaslette, what are you doing down here?" came a voice from behind us. I spun around and saw Theodore Nott standing there crossly. I grinned.

"Brilliant!" I exclaimed, "Nott, could you do me and Ginny a fovour?"

"No." he shook his head, which I took for a yes.

"Great! Could you go in there and see if Blaise Zabini is in there? If he is, tell him to get his butt out here now." I ordered.

"Not without the magic word!" he taunted, thinking I'd never guess what it was.

"Fabricator." I smirkled at him, "Now go." He shrugged and touched the snake painting. It immediately wavered and he walked through it. I rubbed my eyes.

"Did he just-" Ginny started, looking at the painting in disbelief.

"Yes, yes I believe he did." I gawped. She hesitantly walked up to the painting, and tried to walk through it. She bumped into it and fell down onto the floor.

"How the Hufflepuff did he just do that?" she gasped.

"I have no idea." I shook my head. Ginny looked over to me and pressed her hand to the painting, still looking over to me. As she was glancing over to me, she didn't see Theodore Nott... um... blend in, so that her hand was on his chest. He cleared his throat; Ginny turned and saw her hand. She yelped in disgustion and leapt back. Everything was quiet for a moment, then I burst out laughing, to their protest.

"Mione quit it! That wasn't funny!" Ginny yelled.

"Elddir, stop laughing." Theo growled.

"Make me!" I giggled, hardly able to stop myself. He reached for his wand but before he could hex me or whatever he was going to do, Blaise stepped through the painting.

"Hey what'd you want me for?" he asked, "And why are you laughing?" I immediately stopped.

"I'm not telling you. I'll tell your BFF who can tell you it only seems fair," I replied, "Now go away, Nott, this is private."

"What's the magic word?" he smirked. I could tell by his face that he'd changed it.

"Skirting board!" Ginny exclaimed. He shook his head.

"Window!" Blaise guessed. Shake of head.

"Urgh... Beaked Beans." I sighed. Theo shrugged and walked back into the common room.

"How do you know all his magic words?" Ginny asked.

"Legicamy." I replied.

"Of course." she grinned.

"So anyway what do you want me for?" Blaise repeated.

"Okay," Ginny took a deep breath, "Doyoufancyme?" she said in a rush.

"What?" Blaise looked confused.

"I said... Do you fancy me?" Blaise turned to me.

"You told her!" he shouted, grabbing a book from the air and raising it up.

"Nu uh uh!" I waggled my finger, "You're not allowed to hit a Riddle with a book. Plus, we've already done that, like two chapters ago!" he lowered the book with a sigh.

"Tattle tale!" he hissed. I laughed.

"Zabini hurry it up and answer the question." Ginny snapped. Blaise took a breath.

"Ti amo, Ginny Weasley," he told her. I slipped away quietly, before he could translate. Ti amo was I love you in Italian.
