Just a Small Town Girl (A Ginny/Draco Story) Part 1
It was the first day of school, again. How I kept looking forward to Hogwarts before my first year, I don't know. It was always the same, classes, drama- well, a bit here and there. I glanced at Beth, my best friend in the world since first year. She had always comforted me while I was worry about my brother and his best friend, Harry. Little did I know they weren't far behind from the train, in Dad's Ford Angela. I smiled at the thought of how, since then, Beth and I have been inseparable.
"Two more years and we are OUT!" Beth said. Normally she was extremely shy, but she only opened up around Brooke and me.
"I know! I can't believe that we are almost out of here! Two more years of this magic hell-hole and then we get to see the world … and the guys that live there!" Giggled Brooke. Brooke is one of the biggest flirts in all of Hufflepuff. I swear, I didn't know how many guys one girl could make out with in one night, but Brooke knows what she wants and if she wants it, she gets it. But, ever since her pregnancy scare in 3rd year she was hated by all her so called "best friends". Since then you could say that Brooke and Beth are like the sisters that I never had.
I turned to look at her and raised my eyebrows "What about Knox? You two are nearly at a month and you are already looking for a new guy?" Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw Beth blush, when I said Malcolm's name, but I must have been a trick of the light, Beth doesn't date, especially not Slytherins.
And that's when I saw him, the one person that could dampen my mood, Draco. As usual he was harassing someone, hitting on a poor first year, the girl looked lost and desperate for help, so of course I had to help her. I walked over to Mr. loud-mouth himself and told him that he could stick his wand up his ass, because that's the most action he'll ever get. The first year gave me a gracious look and ran down the aisle tripping on her way down.
"What the bloody 'ell is your problem Weasley? I almost had her wrapped around my finger." Draco's green eyes held accusations and desire. That's when I realized that all I had on was my black tank top and mini skirt. I almost forgot to change into my house uniform.
"Do you flirt with anything that has boobs? Oh wait, you flirt with anything that has a pulse." I smirked, all the while blushing at the way his ears turn red when he's embarrassed and-
WAIT! What the hell am I thinking? This is Draco we're talking about, the one that has been making fun of me since my first year and the one I hate.
"Stop gawking at me Weasley. I know I'm out right gorgeous, but at least don't drool, take a picture it'll last longer."
"Well, Malfoy, if I took a picture, the lens would either break or, get fogged up from all those nasty hair products you use. I mean seriously, the "I haven't showered in weeks look" was never in." I say as I walk back to my compartment to get changed.
"They should change that to the Hogwarts uniform!" Malfoy called after me.
"Choke on your tongue. Or better, Parkinson's!" I called over my shoulder. Fortunately, he didn't bother me for the rest of the train ride.
Later That Day At Hogwarts
Here we are at the sorting. Again. It's only exciting the first three times. Then it gets just a little repetitive. And that bloody school song. 'Pick your favorite tune?' God, just set a tune already. After four years it still sounds the same: like a bunch of dying tone deaf cats. I uttered a sigh and shared an exasperated look with Beth, as we saw Hermione Granger, the unrealized love of my brother's life, humming happily along to her own cheerfully offbeat tune. We chuckled and craned our heads to find Brooke. She was looking right back at us, with that look that said she wished she was over here.
It was then, we realized, that she wasn't looking at us but at her two older twin sisters, Ashley and Nicole. They gave her disappointed glares and went back to their song. Brooke, with tears in her eyes ran awkwardly out of the Great Hall. Everyone, too caught up in their renditions of that stupid song didn't even notice her leave. The one person who noticed her run out was the one person who I wished hadn't. Draco Malfoy. He watched her leave, with a smirk on his face that seemed to say, "their will be some nasty rumors at your expense". I looked back to my full plate in disgust and suddenly didn't feel so hungry anymore. I told Beth that I wasn't feeling so hot, and I was going to go check on Brooke. Beth argued to come along, but I reckoned that she stay and see what house Jennifer(Brooke's younger sister.) had gotten into. After 5 minutes of pointless banter, she finally agreed. I glared at Draco one last time, and strode out of the hall just as the first years were coming in.
