Hello Guys! Hope you're all well. I don't really know where I got the idea for this fanfiction and I'm not completely sure where I'm going with it, but i have a general outline and I'm looking forward to writing some more. Anyway I thought I'd take a break from all the revision all lot of A Level students are doing right now (what a hard life *sigh*) and write this first chapter. So hope you like it!
Ginny Weasley's life was pretty perfect. She was a top student at school and was head-over-heels in love with Draco Malfoy. The war had ended in Voldemort's defeat and peace ensued. Those who had missed out on vital teaching, returned to Hogwarts. The Malfoy family had gradually built up their reputation, though in some way it still remained soiled. There were new additions to the student body as well; five teenagers had joined, all eighteen years old. There were three boys and two girls. There was a girl called Christine, who was fairly tall with brown hair that just passed her shoulders and bags framed her hazel eyes. Her face was angular but still very pretty. The other was called Indiana. She had short cropped blonde hair with grey eyes and was fairly short but with a tiny frame. The boy called Steven was tall with blonde hair that swept into his green eyes. He clearly was the trouble-maker of the group, with his rebellious behaviour and cheeky grin. Rhys was also tall, with sandy-blonde 'surfer' hair and chocolate brown eyes. Those eyes crinkled when he grinned and he had a laid-back personality. Lastly there was Chase, tall with dark, spiky hair and a mature and beautiful face. His deep blue eyes were penetrating but his laugh showed off his fun side. The reason for the attendance of these students was unknown however they seemed to get on with everyone, though at times they kept to themselves, as if they held a secret no one else could know.
Draco wasn't over the moon by their presence, especially when one of them started talking to Ginny one afternoon. Draco had grumbled and complained, shooting the boy glares to which Ginny laughed.
"Who does he think he is, talking to my girlfriend?" he had muttered to himself while Ginny giggled at the green-eyed monster. Her relationship with Draco was unique. When they first got together people were very shocked. After all how could the beautiful, warm and witty Ginny Weasley be dating the cold, inconsiderate and aristocratic Draco Malfoy? Sure their personalities often clashed; Ginny liked to get on with everyone and was always warm and inviting. Draco on the other hand delved in his higher status and was, to put it plainly, a ladies man. Still the sparks that exploded when they first got together was undeniable and the arguments they had kept their relationship healthy in Ginny's view.
Quidditch practise had finished early today, so Ginny decided to make her way to Draco's Head Boy Dorm. She showered and got ready before doing so. Ginny's trademark was her blood-red hair. Long, luscious and wavy, it was a very unique shade of red. A few freckles sprinkled the bridge of her nose and her green eyes were unusual…they were rimmed by a faint orange line. She was very pretty, but in a simple and natural way.
She hummed a classical muggle tune softly. Clair De Lune was it called? Ginny couldn't remember where she had heard it, but she liked it all the same. It made her happy, just like the sunny weather did. There was a jump in each of her steps as she walked down the long corridors of Hogwarts School with the light pouring in from the windows.
"Oh no" thought Ginny. Down the end of the corridor were the five strange teenagers. They all stopped talking as Ginny approached and stared at her with interested and speculative expressions. "What is their problem" thought Ginny to herself, but she smiled softly at them to be polite which they returned and then hurried down to the dungeons to be in Draco's safe arms. She found the door to his dorm and then paused to remember the password. It was something in Greek.
"Ar - agnotos – no, that's not right" said Ginny to herself. "Why does he have to make his passwords so damn confusing" she grumbled. "It meant power – typical" she scoffed. "Oh Ambrotos!" she said as the penny dropped and the door swung open. She crept inside, trying to find Draco and surprise him. He wasn't in the living room or the kitchen, but while Ginny was there she decided to grab a glass of water and continue her search. She decided to try out his bedroom and was surprised to find the door slightly ajar. She was about to open it when she heard a female cry and then there was silence. Ginny's heart throbbed; he couldn't be sleeping with someone.
"I bet Ginny doesn't do it like this" said the female voice which sounded some what familiar. She heard Draco's taunting laughter and swung open the door with a crash. What she saw in front of her made her drop her glass, resulting in it shattering to pieces on the ground, just like her heart. Ginny couldn't say anything, she just stared, stared at the man she loved, naked in bed with her best friend Hermione Granger.
"Ginny, what are you going here?" asked Hermione, a small smirk tugging at her lips.
"The nerve of you to ask me that!" shrieked Ginny. "What the fuck are you doing in my boyfriend's bed?" demanded Ginny shaking.
"Just that…fucking him" answered Hermione while Draco just stared at Ginny with sad eyes.
"Shut up you sad whore" said Ginny in a deadly whisper. "And you" she said pointing at Draco, "I don't want anything to do with you".
"Ginny" he whispered.
"Don't you dare speak my name with those cheating lips" she shouted fuming. She would not cry in front of them, she would not give them the satisfaction.
"You weren't good enough for him Ginny" said Hermione.
"I thought I told you to shut the fuck up slut" said Ginny growling before turning her gaze back to Draco. "I gave you my heart, my body and my soul but I guess that wasn't good enough, so if you two want to be together, go on ahead, but I never want to speak to you again" she said turning her back on them.
"Ginny wait – please!" said Draco in a desperate tone.
"Goodbye Draco" she whispered, walking out slowly. When Ginny got to his door she sprinted out, fighting tears as she went. She didn't care where she was going, she just needed to run, run and never stop. The sun had suddenly disappeared, replaced by vengeful black clouds and the snapping of thunder.
When you try your best but you don't succeed,
When you get what you want but not what you need,
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep, stuck in reverse
How could he have done this to her? Didn't he love her? Ginny just couldn't understand why he would break her heart. He knew how much she loved him. She loved him like she had never loved someone before.
And the tears come streaming down your face,
When you lose something you can't replace,
When you love someone but it goes to waste, could it be worse?
He had thrown everything away, and with her good friend too. She had been betrayed and it broke her. Ginny continued sprinting down the corridors, taking her anger and hurt out as she did so.
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try, to fix you.
She burst through the entrance doors of Hogwarts and ran across the huge field as heavy rain drops fell from the sad heavens. Ginny sobbed harder, gasping for breath but still running.
And high up above or down below,
When you too soft to let it go,
But if you never try you'll never know,
Just what you're worth
Before she knew it she was in front of the Forbidden Forest, but Ginny could care less as she ran into its darkness. Draco had always been so sweet and kind to her; he had opened up to her and told her things he had never told anyone else. Ginny had listened always, wiping away all his tears and this is how he repaid her?
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try, to fix you.
It was dark now, the skies were black and Ginny was in the heart of the forest. She slumped down defeated on a large tree trunk and put her head in her hands and cried aloud. Her heart had been crushed mercilessly. She was fragile now, like a porcelain doll.
Tears stream down your face when you lose something you cannot replace,
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Ginny was thoroughly drenched now, her long hair stuck to her skin while her eyes stung with her never-ending salty tears. Darkness consumed her as the fire of her happiness died away. The silence of the forest was deafening. Her sobs gradually subsided so that she was left taking huge gulps of air and rocking back and forth. She heard a faint snap, probably of a twig and she whipped her head around. Fear trickled through her veins, replacing the sadness. It was extremely dangerous to be in the forest alone. No more sounds followed so Ginny relaxed against the trunk of the tree a little, closing her eyes. Somehow the fear was overwhelmed by her sorrow. Suddenly a hand placed itself over her mouth so she could not scream, while the other wound itself tightly around her waist. Ginny's eyes opened in terror and the last thing she saw was the fading forest around her.
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you.
Stephen King once wrote, "Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again."
