Chapter 1 Heading to Hogwarts
Ginny Weasley was lying in her bed staring up at the ceiling. It was 5:30am when she had awoke in a cold sweat. She knew she was having a nightmare but couldn't remember anything other than the face of Voldemort laughing. She would be going back to Hogwarts today to start her 6th year. She looked up at the clock that now read 6:15am. "Ginny dear its time to get up." she heard her mother say from right outside her room.
Her mother seemed almost afraid of Ginny these days. Ever since her sweet 16 party, where everyone was admiring 'the boy who lived' instead of her, she changed. That night after the party she decided that she wasn't going to let herself be ignored any longer. She snuck out that night and went to muggle London to go shopping, with money she had been saving for Christmas. Spending all of her money on her new look; she went home to a very angry Mother. After an hour of lecturing she went upstairs to try out her new look. Half an hour later she reappeared in the kitchen with a black mini skirt with chains looping around it, knee high hooker boots, a black tube top, a black gem cross necklace, with heavy black make-up. Her mother looked at her without saying a word while Ron on the other hand yelled about her tramping around like some kind of whore.
Now her family was used to her new look, even though every time she passed Ron she was sure she heard him mumble about proper clothing. She got off her bed and grabbed some clothes from her dresser. Heading to the bathroom she heard a commotion down stairs. Setting her clothes in the bathroom she walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "Albus I can't make any promises, but we'll talk to her," her father said.
"Maybe we should just wait, Let me talk to her after the feast tonight," Dumbledore said. "Meet us in my office at 8:00pm tonight, and we can all sit down and talk to her with Mr. Malfoy."
At these words she turned and ran silently back up the stairs. Very confused about the conversation she had just over heard she took a shower. It was 9:45 by the time she was finally done getting ready and packed. She rushed down stairs to eat some breakfast before they had to go catch the train. "Mom your letting her go to school looking like that?" Yelled Ron.
"Its her body Ronald she can show it off however she wants," Mrs. Weasley said with a tint of disappointment in her voice. Mr. Weasley came in the kitchen followed by Harry and Hermione.
"Let's go everyone. If we don't leave now you'll miss the train" Mr. Weasley said.
"How are we getting there sir?" asked Harry.
"Oh, the ministry's letting us use a car again." Mr. Weasley responded. They were all ushered out of the house and into the black ministry car. Once the arrived at the station Mr. Weasley and the driver got some luggage carriers and they all loaded up there luggage. As they were walking to the wall between platforms 9 and 10 Hedwig started screeching loudly at Pig. Ron grabbed Pig and went through first followed by Harry, Hermione, and Ginny. She followed the dream team to an empty compartment but when she reached it Ron blocked her way in.
"I don't want a slut for a sister!" He yelled as he slammed the compartment door shut in her face. She wasn't going to let him see the hurt that his words caused. She held her head high and walked away from the compartment. Finding an abandoned compartment at the end of the train she put her luggage on the rack and sat down. 15 minutes later the door to the compartment slide open revealing a girl about her age with long white/blonde hair who had her lip pierced, heavy black makeup and wore a white top with a black skull on it with black pants that had chains hanging down.
"Do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else if full?" she asked.
"Not at all."
"I'm Angelique Malfoy. I just transferred here from Durmstrang." the girl said holding out her hand.
"I'm Ginny Weasley. um are you related to Draco Malfoy by any chance?"
"We're cousins. His dad is my mom's brother."
"What year are you?"
"I'm starting my 6th year, you?"
"Cool I'm in 6th year too. Do you know what house you'll be in?"
"Professor Dumbledore said I would be sorted before the 1st years, but Draco says I'll end up in Slytherin because I'm a Malfoy."
The rest of the ride they talked about everything from classes and teachers at Hogwarts, to cute guys. Before they knew it the train was slowing down at the Hogsmeade Station.
They quickly changed into their Hogwarts robes and joined the group getting off the train. Angelique was confused whether she should go with the first years or stay with the other students. She asked Ginny but she wasn't sure either. Seeing Draco walking with some fellow Slytherin's she decided to ask him. "Draco, hey Draco" she yelled. He looked and finally spotted her.
"What?" he asked
"Do I go with the first years since I'm new or stick with you guys?" she asked. He gave her a puzzled look.
"I'm not sure but as prefect we guess I can help you find out" he said leading her away.
Ginny was amazed. Draco Malfoy just walked past her and didn't say anything.
Ginny got into one of the last carriages by herself. Soon the door opened and Draco stepped in. "Angelique went with the first years to be sorted." He said taking a seat across from Ginny. The rest of the ride up to the school was silent.
