How One Girl Changed the World Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic

Disclaimer I own nothing. All of the characters are under the ownership of JK Rowling; I'm only borrowing them to unleash my own imagination. I'm following the books up until 6; you'll find that it's slightly AU from there. I generally keep characters in character. If they are OOC it's a very slow transition. This is a dark fic, with a dark Ginny.

Draco Malfoy stalked through of the halls of Hogwarts on his 9pm-12am Monday night patrol shift. In his 7th year he was named Head Boy, getting his very own bedroom and bathroom, only sharing a common room and personal library with the Head Girl, who was incidentally none other than the Mudblood, Hermione Granger. That meant he spent a ridiculous amount of time having to listen to her, Potter, and Weasley plotting in the common room or her bedroom. He loathed listening to their incessant chattering at all hours of the night while he was trying to sleep or study, although he did enjoy hearing their disgusted sounds when he kept very loud female company up all night. He smirked at the thought of earlier that morning when Granger actually had the nerve to ask him to keep himself and his company quiet while she was trying to sleep. Even if she did extend him the same courtesy, which she never did, he loved making his girls scream. Her face had turned as red as Weasley's hair when he told her that and she has quickly scurried out of the room trying to hide behind her pile of books in her arms. He'd never met a bigger prude. Even though he enjoyed making his jokes about who she fucked more, Weasley or Potter, he was well aware of the fact that she was still a virgin and would most likely stay that way until she was married. Perfect little Granger would never do such a dirty thing with more than one man her entire life.

Draco was just trying to figure out who she was more likely to marry when he was pulled out of his thoughts by a noise coming from Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. It sounded like someone practicing spells. It was a well known fact that ghosts could not perform any sort of magic, and the voice speaking the spells definitely did not belong to Myrtle. If it were any other girl's bathroom he would never consider entering, but in his entire Hogwarts career he had never once heard of a girl actually using Myrtle's bathroom. Draco took a moment to debate getting a female teacher or prefect to check it out or going in himself while twirling his wand in his hand. As he sighed and pushed open the door he heard a quiet feminine gasp and a thud as a book hit the floor. He rounded the corner of the bathroom to find himself face to face with none other a very shocked Ginerva Weasley.

Draco almost faltered in his steps for a moment before he smoothly recovered himself. What on earth would the little Weasley girl be doing out of bed in the middle of the night? He quickly took in his surrounding and glanced down at the large book lying on the floor between them. Unleashing Your Full Magical Potent ional the title read. The very same book resided in his families' library, in the Dark Arts section. It started out innocent enough, but last half of the book contained some very complicated and very dark magic spells and potions. It wasn't anything that belonged in the possession of a Weasley, let alone this Weasley.

"What do you think you're doing in here?" Draco demanded, snapping her out of her shock. He watched her face as she recovered and her eyes narrowed at him in what seemed like annoyance.

"What do you think someone does in the bathroom?" She retorted.

"Usually someone uses the shower or toilet but considering that it's 11:30 at night, the Gryffindor tower is quiet a few floors above us, and you were holding a Dark Arts book, I'm guessing you're not doing what someone usually does in the bathroom," he responded. "Now tell me what you're doing in here."

"What I'm doing it none of your business Malfoy," she said calmly as she leaned over to pick up her book. "Now if you'll get out of my way, I'm going back up to my dorm and going to sleep." She pushed past him heading towards the door, but Draco reached out and grabbed her arm to stop her and pulled her around to face him. Her robes fell open as they slipped off her shoulders. She was wearing a tight white t-shirt and very short pajama shorts that had been covered by her robes until that moment. He had been about to tell her off for thinking she could just walk away from him without answering his questions, but he was completely distracted now. Normally Draco was the first one to notice when a cute girl had developed into an attractive women, but he had never paid much attention to the youngest Weasley because of the very fact that she was a Weasley. This last year had done her some good. He could feel the toned muscles on her upper arm as he gripped it. Her lean legs connected to her curvaceous hips and slim waist. The school robes had definitely hidden the fact that her chest had grown as the rest of her body had developed from the skinny little girl to this stunning woman. Her carrot orange hair and toned down into a deep, dark red, her freckles had completely disappeared leaving her with lovely fair skin, and Draco found that one could almost call her beautiful. "Let me go Malfoy. Now!" Her forcefully voice brought him out of his trance.

After shooting him a glare to kill Ginny turned around and walked back into the hall. Draco made sure to listen to her footsteps until he was sure she was headed up the staircase directed to Gryffindor tower before he left the bathroom to go back to his bedroom. He should have had another 20 minutes of patrolling but he had too much to think about to finish. He needed a long relaxing shower and then a good night's sleep. Although he doubted he was going to sleep well tonight.

Ginny growled in frustration and she tried to cast the spell for the 25th time unsuccessfully. She'd never had this much trouble with one spell before, never! She'd mastered powerful hexes, slicing curses, even a few torturing spells but she couldn't seem to master this one. It was supposed to lace any liquid with Brodifacoum, a rather nasty muggle-made poison. Unleashing Your Full Magical Potential said it was easiest to start with a small amount of water, and then increasing the amount of water slowly, then move on to other liquids such as juices, and then onto alcoholic beverages. She'd plugged up one of the sink with a small amount of water to practice, but no matter how hard she cast the spell it wouldn't work. She'd been about ready to throw the book across the bathroom when she dropped it out of surprise when the bathroom door opened. It was 11:30 at night and she was in Myrtle's bathroom, who could possibly be coming in? Ginny was about to dash into the last stall and cast a cloaking charm on herself but she didn't have enough time before Draco Malfoy turned the corner coming face to face with her. He seemed to as shocked to see her as she was shocked to see him.

"What do you think you're doing in here?" he asked in what was probably his most demanding voice. She was not in a mood to deal with anyone, but Malfoy's arrogant attitude always made anything ten time worse.

"What do you think someone does in a bathroom?" she snapped back.

"What I'm doing it none of your business Malfoy," Ginny felt that was a sufficient ending their conversation and picked up her book. "Now if you'll get out of my way, I'm going back up to my dorm and going to sleep." She stepped forward and pushed her way past him before she felt his hand grab her by her upper arm and pull her back around to face him. Malfoy opened his mouth slightly to say something but stopped. It wasn't usual Malfoy behavior for him to stop himself from saying something. Ginny had the urge to use one of the slicing hexes she had mastered when she realized that her robes had slipped from her shoulders and he was standing there with his mouth partially open while he was leering at her body, but she refrained. "Let me go Malfoy. Now!" Her yelling seemed to bring him back to reality.

"Don't think you can just walk away from me like that without repercussions. You're out of bed well after hours practicing dark magic and there is no possible way for you to have a viable excuse for such activities. I have no idea what you're up to, but you'll be serving detention with me Friday night at seven and if I haven't figured it out by then I'll force it out of you. Now get back to the Gryffindor tower and go to bed." He let go of her arm and gave her a very undignified shove towards to door before he added that he was also taking ten points from Gryffindor. She gave him one of the nastiest looks she could muster at the moment and exited the bathroom to make her way back to her dorm room. She was going to have to avoid Malfoy until Friday night when she could try to actually speak to him and get him to keep quiet about her nightly activities. She could only hope he would keep his fat mouth shut until then. It would do no good for it to get around the school. Her brother would immediately send word to their mother, Potter would question her nonstop, Granger would lecture her for an hour and then she'd receive a wonderful Howler from her parents telling her how disappointed they were in her. Ginny reached Gryffindor tower without any trouble. Everyone was already in bed and sound asleep. She slipped her book under her mattress where she stored the rest of her collection before she climbed under the covers and laid her head back to sleep. Yes, she really hoped Malfoy kept her secret. If he didn't, he would ruin everything she had planned so carefully and had been training so hard for. The world wasn't yet ready for the shock she was going to give it.
