This is my first Harry Potter fanfic! WOOT WOOT! This takes place right before Ginny starts her sixth year, Ron Hermione and Harry are all out hunting for Horcruxes. Everything up to this point is exactly the Harry potter series, however i begin to make changes. Please Read and Review, becuase i worked really hard on this chapter.

Ginny Weasley woke up to the sound of her mother shouting at her to get up. With a grunt she rubbed her eyes and sat up. Today she would be going back to Hogwarts for her sixth year.

Getting out of bed she walked downstairs and sat down at the table waiting for the food her mother had made. Looking around she felt that hollow empty feeling she has had since the day after Bill's wedding. The day after her best friend Hermione, her brother Ron, and her first love Harry Potter left.

Nobody knows where they are, but she knew they were off trying to kill the evilest man alive, if you can even call him a man. It ate her inside knowing that she may never see them again. That at this very moment they could be dead without anyone knowing.

She shook that thought away from her head. If Harry Potter had died, Voldemort would make a field day out of it. The Daily Prophet would be filled with articles saying "The Boy who Lives….dies!" So the fact that things have been relatively quiet is her only sliver of hope.

All of a sudden she felt her hand being squeezed and she saw her mother sitting next to her. It was at that moment Ginny noticed a single tear streaming down her own face. She quickly wiped it away and her mother wrapped her arms around her only daughter.

"I miss them too Ginny, dear." She said quietly. Even though Ginny was almost seventeen years old, she felt comfort being wrapped in her mother's warm, loving arms. Ginny put her head on her mother's shoulder and let sobs overtake her.

Ginny was usually very good at hiding and storing away emotions. It was a gift she gained from having six brothers and no sisters. But right now she needed to let out her pain and sorrow. She missed having Hermione to talk about feelings with. She missed Ron simply because he was her brother and despite their bickers, she loved him.

Harry. Last year when Harry and Ginny kissed for the first time, it felt as if the world had stopped spinning for a couple of minutes, and when it started back up, the earth no longer rotated around the sun, but around Harry. He was her first true love, and she still loved him. She was slowly getting over him though, knowing it could be a very long time before she saw him again.

Molly Weasley began to cry as she watched her daughter weep in such sorrow. She had never seen her daughter this upset. She was so tough and rough around the edges. So seeing her daughter so broken, killed Mrs. Weasley inside.

The mother and daughter sat there crying for about a half hour. Ginny was first to recover herself and she tried to act as if nothing happened. To be quite honest Ginny felt so much better having released her emotions.

Mrs. Weasley jumped when she saw the time and she quickly made a couple of eggs for her daughter. Ginny ate quickly and ran upstairs for some last minute packing. Stuffing the picture of Her and her three best friends into her suitcase, and grabbing pig, the owl that Sirius gave Ron, she ran downstairs.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw her mother opening the door for Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ginny asked excitedly.

Tonks grinned and hugged Ginny tightly. "We're driving you to Kings Cross!" Tonks said.

Ginny grinned happily and went over to hug Remus. "Nice to see you Ginny " Remus said.

"Nice to see you too Professor Lupin." Ginny said in greeting.

Lupin chuckled and said "I am no longer your professor, call me Remus."

"Ok Pro-….Remus" Ginny said, still finding it weird to be calling him by his first name.

Mrs. Weasley chuckled and offered the two newcomers food. "No thanks Molly. Have you seen the time? We barely have enough time to get to the station before the train leaves." Tonks said. Mrs. Weasley looked at her watch and jumped.

"Oh dear! Let's get going then." She said quickly. They all nodded and Tonks grabbed one of Ginny's suitcases and Remus grabbed the other. Ginny still held Pig and Mrs. Weasley wrapped an arm around her daughter's waist.

They got into a car supplied by the order. Not the ministry because they were being infiltrated by Voldermort's minions. The car was much more spacious this year compared to the last. "So Ms. Quidditch team captain, how are you?" Tonks asked.

Ginny grinned and thought back to a couple weeks prior to the present.

**(Flashback begins)

Ginny woke up to the sound of tapping on her window. She growled at the noise and bleary eyed made her way to the window. There was a magnificent brown owl scratching at her window with a fancy looking envelope in its claws. She saw the large letter 'H' written on its front and all signs of tiredness left.

Yanking the window open she practically ripped the letter off of the owls leg. She pet the owl and then sent it off. Looking into the distance she could see another owl heading towards the house. Waiting for the next owl, Ginny opened up the letter she had in her hand.

Ripping open the envelope, she saw that it was her O.W.L. Scores. She held her breath as she looked down at her scores.

Charms- O

Transfiguration-E

Herbology-O

Defense Against the Dark Arts- O (Thank you Dumbledore's army)

Potions- E

Care of magical Creatures- O

Astronomy- O

Divinataion- O

She squealed in happiness. Next to Percy, she got the best grades in the family! Right as she was about to go show her parents, the owl she saw flying in the distance flew in her window. Feeling extremely giddy, she fed the new owl some treats.

Taking off the new letter she saw that this one also had an "H" on it. She realized this was the letter that had the list of supplies for the New Year. Holding the envelope in her hand, she noticed it felt a little heavier than usual.

Her curiosity made her rip open the letter and she almost dropped the little golden badge in her hand. Imprinted on the badge was a broomstick, with the initials Q.C. "MOM!" she yelled.

Mrs. Weasley came running up the stairs and worriedly said "Whats wrong Ginevra?" Ginny jumped up and shoved her O.W.L . scores at her mother. Her mouth popped open a bit and she said "Oh Ginny! Im so proud. What do you want us to buy you for a present?"

"Do you think I could have a new broomstick?" Ginny asked.

Mrs. Weasley frowned a bit and said "Broomstick's are pretty expensive, Ginevra."

Ginny held up her quidditch captain pin and said "Maybe a broom stick could be my reward for good grades and being made the Gryffindor captain."

Mrs. Weasley gasped and hugged her daughter "Im so proud of you dear. Of course ill buy you a new broomstick." Ginny grinned as she watched her mother walk out of the room.

**(Flashback ends)

Mrs. Weasley ended up buying Ginny the Comet 290. Ginny was ecstatic and when Fred and George would come home to visit they would practice together. Fred and George told Ginny they were proud to have a sister that didn't disgrace them with being an annoying gossip girl, but being quidditch captain instead.

After some talk about quidditch with everyone, they made it to Kings Cross Station. Getting out of the car they passed the muggles who were all giving the group weird looks. As Ginny was walking she couldn't help but feel hollow. Right now her brother should be entering his last year at Hogwarts and Ginny should be spending time with Hermione and Harry.

Ginny shook the feeling away when she saw her two friends Neville and Luna. Ginny ran up to them and hugged them. "why hello Ginny! Oh look on your shoulder there's a pesky nargle floating there." Ginny had to hold back a laugh and pretended to swipe away the pesky nargle. Neville rolled his eyes a bit when he heard Luna.

Ginny told her two friends that she would meet up with them in a minute, but first she wanted to say goodbye to her mum. Ginny walked over to her mother and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I love you mum." Ginny said

Mrs. Weasley looked as if she was about to burst into tears as she held her only daughter. "Be safe, and please don't be troublesome."

Ginny chuckled and said "Well I do have Fred and George as brothers…"

Mrs. Weasley patted her daughter on the cheek and sighed with a smirk on her face. "Very true…I love you ginny dear and so does your father" Ginny nodded her head and gave hugs to Remus and Tonks.

Tonks looked like she was about to burst from excitement and she asked "can I tell them now?" Remus sighed and nodded his head. Tonks squeeled and said "Im pregnant."

Ginny squealed right as the Hogwarts express gave its signal bell. So she told the couple congratulations and gave her mother one last kiss on the cheek.

Ginny walked onto the Hogwarts Express and ran into Zacharias Smith, an annoying Hufflepuff whom Ginny hexed last year on the Hogwarts express for bothering her. Ginny scowled at him and he scowled back. Right as Ginny was about to push him out of the way, Zacharias said "The Quidditch captains are meeting in the compartment next to where the prefects meet."

Ginny nodded and told him grudgingly she would be there. Ginny found the compartment where Neville and Luna were sitting, and sat her stuff down. "Hey I have to go to a quidditch captain meeting, ill meet you guys back here in a little bit." She told them.

Neville congratulated her for her success and Luna just dreamily waved at her. Ginny walked to the compartment Smith told her about and sat down. She was the first one in there. Making herself comfortable, she set her wand on the table next to her and kicked her shoes off.

She lifted her head when she heard the compartment door open. Zacharias walked in to the compartment and sat as far away from Ginny as possible. "Afraid I'll hex you again, Smith?" she asked with a sly grin. Zacharias glowered at her and looked away from her intimidating stare.

A few minutes later the door opened and in came Grant Page. A quiet ravenclaw boy in her year, who plays keeper. He walked next to Smith and sat down. We all waited for the slytherin captain to come in. After a few minutes the captain finally decided to gift them with his presence.

Ginny almost smacked her forehead when she saw the Slytherin captain, as it was she grunted. In walked Blaise Zabini, the boy who thought he was God's gift to woman. Ginny looked up into the sky and said "Just kill me now, please end it here."

Zabini smirked and sat next to Ginny. He put an arm around her shoulder and said "Aww what's wrong ginger?"

Ginny growled and said "Zabini if you would like to keep your arm I would suggest taking it off of me this instant."

Zacharias made cat hissing noises in the background and Blaise laughed and said "I like them feisty."

Zacharias smirked and said "As do I. If you ever want to get feisty with me weasel-" Nobody got to hear the rest of his remark because Ginny bounced up with wand in hand and walked over to Smith.

"If you want to get feisty with me ill show you feisty! Conjuctivi-" Ginny yelled. She was about to cast a spell that burns the victims eyes painfully when cast, when she felt an electrifying jolt in her arm. She jerked and looked at what caused it.

Zacharias was holding her arm, so that she couldn't finish the spell. "Now now, we don't want to fight do we?" Ginny shoved past him trying to ignore the tingles that were spreading all over her from his touch. She set her wand back down and crossed her arms and legs grumpily.

For the next twenty minutes they talked about quidditch and how to decide who gets the pitch and when. Ginny left in a rush and hurried back into the compartment with her friends. As they talked she couldn't help but think about the still tingling feeling in her arm. Stupid hormones.

Ginny realized that they were getting close to the school and she wasn't in her robes yet. She quickly got dressed and felt around for her wand. She panicked slightly when she couldn't find it, but sighed in relief when she remembered she left it in the compartment where she talked to the other Quidditch captains.

She walked to the compartment from earlier and jumped in surprise. Blaise Zabini was wearing only a pair of jeans, which he was about to take off. He didn't notice Ginny at first until Ginny ran into a seat while walking out. He spun around and smiled slyly at her.

"Trying to sneak a peek ginger?" Zabini asked. Ginny felt her cheeks burning but she tried to cover it up by scoffing at him.

"I left my wand in here." Ginny said as she walked over to a table and picked up her wand.

"Did you not notice that the blinds were closed that a person would most likely take as a warning that the person was changing into their school robes?" Zabini asked still grinning.

Ginny felt herself blush as she walked out of the compartment without another word to Blaise. She couldn't help but think of how embarrassed she was and also had the image of Zabini's nice six pack fresh in her mind.

Blaise, back in his compartment couldn't help but think of how great the day turned out for him.
