Chapter 1

It was Ginny's fifth year at Hogwarts and it was a lovely day. They had only been at school for two weeks but Ginny new that this year was going to be another great year at Hogwarts, maybe even her best year yet. She was on her way out to Herbology when she walked past the girl's lavatory on the first floor.

She had tried to avoid this bathroom at any cost because of the incident with Tom Riddle in her first year. Today however she was in such a good mood that she completely forgot that this was the hallway it was in. Although she loathed the bathroom because of all the memories it brought back, she decided she would go in and freshen up a bit. She walked in and saw the horrible entrance to the chamber but thought, "I have to get over it" and walked in. As soon as she walked through the doorway something swooped down in front of her. It was moaning Myrtle.

"Hello Myrtle" said Ginny very pleasantly.

"GO AWAY!" shouted Myrtle and leaned her transparent face uncomfortably close to Ginny's.

"What's wrong?" asked Ginny confused and taken aback.

"Nothing that concerns you now go away!" replied Myrtle with a snooty attitude

Ginny, now curious what Myrtle was so desperate to hide, walked through her transparent form and into the bathroom. The sight she saw amazed her beyond belief. She had expected to see products from Zonko's or from her brother's shop, which were not permitted in the castle. The sight that met her eyes however, was nothing of the sort. Instead she saw a boy sitting at the far end of the bathroom with his head in his hands…crying? The sight was even odder as she got closer. The boy had slid his hands further down his head so that it was resting in a slightly different position and his hair was now showing. The platinum blond hair hung so that the boys face was still covered but Ginny now recognized who the boy was… Draco!

Ginny, now completely baffled at the fact that something could bring Draco Malfoy to tears and make him seek refuge in the girls lavatory, decided the best thing to do was get out before Draco realized she was their so she turned abruptly on her heel and quickly tiptoed out of the bathroom. She speed walked down the hallway and out of the castle hoping that Draco wasn't behind her and the moment she stepped outside the castle she sprinted as quickly as she could across the lawn to Herbology.

During Herbology today they were going to be graded on making Tarle weed change colors. They were supposed to be mixing up the proper foods for their weeds that would make them change to purple, blue, red and orange. Each different color determined what antidote the plant was best used for.

Everyone had been practicing for about ten minutes and most students had turned their plants to a slight blue or purple tint when Professor Sprout came over to Ginny and stood beside her. Ginny, now realizing that she had done nothing for the past ten minutes but stare off into space thinking about what she had just witnessed, quickly she picked up some ingredients that were in front of her and pretended to mix them together.

"Wonderful!" said Professor Sprout to Ginny "ten points for Gryffindor!"

Ginny perplexed, looked up at her plant and saw that it was a brilliant sky blue. Confused she looked around and saw that Luna Lovegood was standing to the right of her. Ginny hadn't even noticed her presence due to the state of shock she was in.

"What happened?" asked Luna in her usual dream like state. "You look like you saw Filch waltzing with Mrs. Norris, although I wouldn't put it past him."

Ginny contemplating whether or not to tell Luna what she had just witnessed decided not to and replied, "Wow you hit the nail on the head!"
