I got a letter in the mail the other day. It was a pageant application. While working on my other story, an idea hit me...what would happen, if Ginny was enrolled into a pageant? :D woo! so here's the first chapter

Draco Malfoy, and Blaise Zambini were sitting in their shared room. Due to Lord Voldemort, and the war of Hogwarts, all of those who wished to take their last year over could do so. Thus, the reason Blaise and Draco were sitting, once again, in Hogwars. Draco's mother, had owled him during lunch, and so he was just now getting to it. Brushing a stray piece of white blonde hair out of his face, he opened the letter, and took out the stationary.

'Dear Draco,

I hate to bother you at school, but I need your help. We don't have enough witches for the pageant I'm hosting. I need you to give me names as potential winners. Draco dear, don't send dogs. They don't have to be pure blooded, but they do have to have a running chance. Also, would you put their houses? Thank you so much my dear.
Love, Mum.'

Draco chewed his lip. He leaned across his bed, and into his nightstand drawer. Pulling out a quill, and parchment, he began to write to his mum.
'Mum,

I hope this helps.
Pansy Parkinson.~Slytherin
Patil twin one,~Gryffindor
Patil twin two~Ravenclaw
Cho Chang~Ravenclaw
Lydia VanDyke~Slytherin
Claudia Hacket~Gryffindor
Luna Lovegood~Ravenclaw'
Draco looked up from his parchment. "Oi! My mum is running a pageant, and needs names of girls. I've already got Pansy, the Patils, Cho, Lydia, Claudia, and Luna...who else should I put down?"
"Uhmmmm...Malinda Mavrick, Hope Lawson, Jordan Coffee, Rachel Masters...What about Hermonie Granger. She could clean up well. We all know how your mom loves a challenge..." Draco laughed as he wrote down all the names. Even Granger's. "Speaking of a challenge, mate...Why not put down Weaslette?" Blaise asked. Draco's head snapped up. His signature smirk gracing his soft pink lips. His slate eyes glimmered at the African boy. He loved torturing the Weaslette. So why not role her into something she was the polar opposite of? He grinned as he finished the list.
'Pansy Parkinson~Slytherin
the Patil Twins~Gryffindor
Cho Chang~Ravenclaw
Lydia VanDyke~Slytherin
Claudia Hacket~Grtffindor
Luna Lovegood~Ravenclaw
Malinda Macrick~Gryffindor
Hope Lawson~Slytherin
Jordan Coffee~Ravenclaw
Rachel Masters~Slytherin
Hermonie Granger~Gryffindor
Ginny Weasley~Gryffindor'
Draco smirked as he rolled and tied the parchment to the owl's leg. He watched it until it disappeared out of the window. Blaise looked at Draco. "You actually put Ginny's name down?"
"Yeah." Blaise started laughing and then so did Draco. The boys finished laughing and changed into their pajamas, and went to bed.

The next day, a sixteen year old girl, with hair the color of fire, was walking down the hall. She was wearing her robes. It was the end of a very long day for the girl. She had just finished a grueling Quidditch practice. She was covered in dirt, and grass stains. A boy with black hair and glasses came up to her and wrapped an arm around her, as two tall lanky boys with the same color hair as the girl, came up behind them. Just as the boy with black hair removed his hand from her shoulder and was putting it to his side, one of the twins smacked the girls behind, and ran off to hide behind a nearby corner. Said girl spun around, her face as red as her hair, and her eyes glowing with anger.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER! YOU SLIMY WANKER!" she screamed, and smacked Harry across the face.
"Wait! Gin! What did I do!?" Harry sighed, and watched the angry ginger girl storm off. He smacked his hands against his forehead when he heard the slam of the great double doors closing behind the girl. The twins exploded with laughter and fell to the floor. Harry turned around and glared at them.
"I'm guessing, that was your work?" The two boys rolling on the floor didn't need to answer him. The outburst of laughter stronger than before erupted from their mouths after the question was asked. The trio walked into the Great Hall and took their seats. Ginny glared at Harry from her spot, and turned away with a 'humph'. Dinner appeared in front of them, and everyone began eating. Halfway through dinner, owls began flying in through the open windows. Harry got a letter, and so did Ron. All of a sudden, there were 13 identical owls flying around the room. They all dropped a lilac envelope. One landed in front of Ginny. She snatched it from the table when Ron reached for it, and shoved it inside her robes.
"That's a crime Ronald." Hermonie said, snapping at the freckle covered boy. Dinner proceeded as normal after that, and everyone finished and left for their rooms. Ginny walked down corridors, searching for a certain wall.
'Take me to my friends. Take me to my friends'. Ginny thought. A door appeared from the wall. Ginny grinned, and opened the door. Sitting in a circle on the floor were the Patil Twins, Luna Lovegood, Hermonie Granger, and an empty green pillow reserved for Ginny. She smiled at the group and sat down. She dug out the purple envelope. "Did any of you get one of theses too?" She asked waving the lilac paper all around. Each girl took out an identical envelope. Ginny chewed her lip, wondering what was inside the confines of the sticky seal. Finally Ginny couldn't take it. She ripped open the envelope, and so did the rest of the girls. Ginny opened the papers and read through them.
'Hello girls!

Yours truly ~Narsissa Malfoy.

Ginny couldn't believe that she was enrolled in a pageant! She didn't even sign up! "What the bloody hell!?" Ginny roared. "This has to be one of Fred and George's tricks! Why would I, of all people, sign up for a beauty pageant?!" Ginny yelled, jumping to her feet. Hermonie made a face, nodding her head slowly.
"I didn't sign up for this either." she said.
"Neither did we." Parviti said touching her sisters arm.
"Well the Nargals might have signed me up... but I didn't do it myself." Luna said. Ginny's brows furrowed in annoyance. The five girls sat and talked about who it could have been that signed them up for it. Soon the clock was chiming the signal for midnight. Ginny stood up, as well did the rest of the girls. Ginny and Luna took off, first. They opened the door slowly, a ray of light filling the dark and empty hallway. They slowly made their way to the Ravenclaw common rooms. Luna gave Ginny a final hug goodbye, whispered the password, and disappeared into the common room. Ginny turned on her heal, and took off her shoes, as to not make a noise. She walked along the walls, hiding in the shadows. She was halfway to the Fat Lady, when she heard a voice that she knew all to well.
"Did you see the letters Zabini!? I didn't think my mom would go through with it!"
"Well she did Malfoy."
"What do you think the little Weaslette's reaction was to the letter. She's probably freaking out! I wish I could have seen her expression."
"Just think of what it will be when she finds out that it was you that signed her up for it."
"YOU!" Ginny screeched, drawing her wand. She shoved Draco and pinned his back against the wall with her body. She had her want pointed at his throat. "I should have known it was you. The one who loves to play these sick jokes. Thanks to you, I can't back out of this without paying 340 Galleons! You bloody rat!" She turned to Blaise. "And I know you had a part in this too." She turned her attention back to Draco. "But the thing is, you'll be paying for me. The both of you. My entry fee, my clothes, my hair, accessories, everything. I don't plan on winning. But what I do plan on, is milking this for all it's worth." Ginny said, glaring at the two boys. She looked like a warrior queen. Her hair tousled, and her eyes wild.
"What makes you think that I'm going to pay for you, Weaslette?"
"What do you think your mum would do...if she found out that one of her contestants had to drop out, but couldn't pay the fee? What would your dad say, when he found out you lied? Especially to your mum. I bet your mum is dying to change the only Weasley woman, isn't she? Change me into someone she finds suitable? Whats she gonna say to your dad? What would he do?" Ginny smiled as Draco's face paled.
"And where do I come into all of this?!" Blaise asked from across the room. Ginny laughed softly and shook her head.
"You really think I don't know about you and Padema Patil? I'm the only one who knows. Not even Parviti knows. And you really shouldn't put it past me to tell a certain pug faced Slytherin about it. And we all know that she'll spread it all around." Ginny smirked deviously.
"God Weaslette, who knew you were so cunning?" Draco said.
"Yeah," Blaise said chuckling, "if I didn't know any better, I'd have thought you were a Slytherin with that plan."
"You can put your wand down, Weaslette. We'll go along with your plan." Draco said, shoving her wand away from his throat. Ginny smiled, and put her wand in her pocket.
"Good, because tomorrow, we're going to go to Hogsmead. I have to have 220 Galleons for the entry fee, and I need to find some nicer clothes."
Draco and Blaise sighed. This was going to be a looong week.
