A/N: Hey hey peeps! I got a new story on the road. This thought just hit me the other day and I'm like, 'Hey! Why don't I write it down!' so I did. Anyway- hope ya like it!!! R&R.
A Little Info: Ok, so Ginny is in her 6th year, making the rest of the gang and others who shall remain nameless- in their 7th. They have all come back to school after a long awaited summer holiday and are starting a new school year. (Grades stated above.)
-The Hogwarts Express-
"Bye mum! Bye dad!" Ginny called as she waved from her cabin window.
The Hogwarts Express was boarded, and just pulling away from the station at platform 9¾. Ginny sat in her compartment by herself and shut the window, as the sooty air billowed in from the train's engine. She sighed. Hermione was head girl this year and she was off in the first carriage getting a lecture from someone or other about what all her duties were. Harry and Ron on the other hand were in the carriage behind her, finding that he presence in the last cabin was too much. They had moved between the small footbridges that sat a few inches above the rail way tracks, dragging their trunks behind them. Ginny sighed again. She was all alone, staring out of the dirty window at the boring landscape that lay beside her. She turned her head briefly as she heard some squeals coming from the hallway. Most likely, a pet had been let loose in a girl filled cabin. 'How immature'- thought Ginny as she rolled her eyes, turning back to the window. There was a knock as the compartment door slid open.
"Hey Ginny!" Hermione grinned as she sat down on the seat opposite her friend.
"Hey Herms, get your badge?"
"Yup! Isn't it awesome?" Hermione grinned and handed Ginny the polished Head Girl badge.
"Wow- I must admit it is pretty good!" Ginny said, seeing her reflection in it as she studied the engravings.
"It's better then good- it's fantastic!" Hermione beamed and put the badge in her pocket. "The only bad thing is- Malfoy's head boy if you can believe?"
Ginny smirked.
"At least you'll be there to keep him in check!"
"Very funny Gin," Hermione raised an eyebrow. "And anyway- what's with the new style?"
"What do you mean?" Ginny looked at her puzzled.
"The clothes duh!"
Ginny looked down at her clothes. What was wrong with them? Ok- so they were a little different from the previous years, but she wasn't exactly a kid any more! She wore a tartan mini that was just exceptable, knee high socks, black shoes with chunky soles and a tight white boob tube.
"Oh..." she suddenly understood what Hermione meant. She kind of resembled a slut in several ways. "Well I liked the clothes, and you know you have to make a good impression at the very beginning!"
"Ginny- did you see all the heads turns as you walked by? I sware- about a million guys are going to ask you out before you even get off the train today!"
Ginny blushed slightly and flicked her hair- brushing the comment off.
"I don't think so Hermione- all the guys probably still think I'm a loser or something. I mean the stuff I wore last year was just-" she ran a finger across her neck in a kind of mimic slice. Hermione grinned.
"Ok- so the short jeans and floral t-shirts weren't exactly a hit, but come on!"
"I'm still not impressed," said Ginny, her arms folded across her chest.
"You want me to let you in on a secret?" Hermione said in a half whisper, leaning forward.
"Oh do tell," Ginny smirked.
"Mmmm- but that wouldn't be nice would it? I mean, they are one of my closest friends and telling you would be like breaking the trust bond," Hermione grinned wickedly at her friend.
"Oh come on Herms! You gotta tell me! I'm your best friends!!!" Ginny wailed.
"Fine!" she said rolling her eyes, then leaning forward again and whispering. "I happened to be walking by Harry and Ron's previous cabin when I dropped my wand. When I stopped to pick it up, I just by chance heard what they were talking about!"
"My brother was talking about something interesting?" Ginny said in mock surprise.
"No Einstein- I said it was in their cabin. Harry was talking to Seamus. Ron wasn't even there, he was saying goodbye to your mum and dad."
"I see. So anyway, what did he say?"
"Weeell... he said..." Hermione paused for dramatic effect.
Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"He said that when he first saw you walking around on the platform he didn't know who you were-"
"Soooo?"
"Ssssh! I'm not finished!" Hermione glared at her.
"Sorry," Ginny looked at her again in interest.
"He said that when he first saw you walking around on the platform he didn't know who you were and almost walked up to you to ask if you wanted to share his cabin. Of course when he realised, he got all embarrassed and fidgety when you walked past," Hermione grinned.
"So that's why he was acting funny!" Ginny said thinking. "But why didn't he want to stay in our cabin in the first place?"
"I duno- he was probably worried he'd freak you out by staring at you for the whole train ride. Anyway, don't you think Ron would get pretty agitated if he found out Harry would rather be spending time with you them him?"
"I suppose... you hear anything else?" he smiled cheekily.
"But of course!" Hermione grinned. "I heard Seamus saying that he would love to just walk up to you and kiss you."
Ginny blushed. Seamus was quite attractive, and his accent was totally dreamy. She was totally obsessed with Irish guys, and had spent many of her times in the common room secretly watching him, and listening to his laugh. She loved his laugh- it was almost as good as the taste of hot butter beer filling your stomach on a cold winters day. She smiled to herself.
"So where are all the other 6th and 7th years?" she asked, tearing her mind away from Seamus.
"In the back carriage like all the rest of the boys," Hermione rolled her eyes. "They are so immature! You should hear some of the things they're saying about Pavarti!"
"What type of things?" Ginny asked, a hint of jealousy showing in her voice.
"What they think of her, how much they'd like to get her in a room alone and other disgusting things-" She saw the look on Ginny's face and stopped. "but only the losers were talking about her. Any boy in their right mind would swoon over you! Trust me, you'll have no problem with boyfriends this year!"
Ginny laughed at Hermione's joke, feeling a bit better- the jealousy almost completely vanishing.
"Well- I'd better go check on the first years. They're probably wetting themselves up the front!" Hermione chuckled. "I'll be seeing you Gin- and don't be afraid to invite anyone into the cabin while I'm out. I'll be at least an hour or so."
"Oh trust me- I won't be!" Ginny smirked and watched as her friend left the compartment.
Ginny looked out the window again. By the looks of things, the train had only been running for about two hours- meaning there would be about five more hours of the trip. She bit her lip. Was Hermione right about what all the guys had been saying about her? If so- she couldn't wait to get to the back carriage and start flirting with some of them... especially Seamus! Ginny paused, thinking about what Harry had said. He was ok she supposed. Knowing him for all these years had brought a good friendship between them- but she didn't know if he had any other feelings for her.
Waiting about five more minutes, Ginny decided to try her luck with the boys- and managing to drag her friends Gillian and Amander along with her, they made their way to the crossing of the carriages. Butterflies raced in Ginny's stomach as she opened the door to the hall way. Some of the compartment doors were open, but most were closed. Turning to Gillian, she squeezed her hand for good luck and the three of them made their way to try and find someone that they knew.
