Chapter 1: My Life.
Well it's a New Year at Hogwarts. I'm in sixth year now and am tired of learning. I would've left school last year but mum would've flipped, especially after what happened with Fred and George.
My name is Virginia Crystal Weasley, daughter of Molly and Arthur Weasley. I've lived all my life being called the "poor" wizard, I thought all that was going to change but, alas, my crush fell in love- with the wrong girl. That changed the way I felt to guys.
Anyway back to the year. At the moment I'm spacing in the Great Hall. I mean who cares who comes to this school; it's just a school. Most of the newbies are to scared to come up to me anyway. Some people think I'm the school equivalent to 'Slut'. Let them think what they want. I've only been out with two guys since fourth year. And just because I wear hip cloths doesn't mean I'm a slut.
I looked around and down the table. There were four new girls and six new boys. Cool.
Food was on the table. I was sitting with my brother Ron, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Ron and Harry were stuffing their faces and Hermione had her face in a book, which didn't mind me. She is Head Girl this year and is always criticising my outfits.
Just when I thought my day couldn't get worse Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement.
"Today is a special day…" He began. " This is the day we begin preparing for Halloween. Halloween is my favourite holiday because this year we will be having a masked ball. Everyone will dress up. Well, we will inform you more on that later. Proceed to your common rooms." He finished.
Great, just another thing to add to my 'Never do this again' list. I hate balls, anything that involves me dancing in front of others. I'm a very self-conscious person even though most people don't know it.
I got up and started to walk out of the Hall, but (just my luck) someone pushed me over. Just before I hit the ground a strong person grabbed me around the waist and pulled me back up he turned me around and I looked into the eyes of none other than Malfoy.
"Potter better watch out he might push a pretty young lady over." He told me.
"Harry would never do this." I said. So, I still had a few feelings for him. Who didn't these days?
I turned around to walk off and Hermione was standing there.
"I hope Harry didn't hurt you. I think he was just in a bad mood today." She said. I turned around to apologise to Malfoy but he was gone.
Damnation! He was right.
I trudged along behind Hermione, and before I knew it we were at the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Wobbly Guts" She said and we entered the Gryffindor common room. Harry and Ron were sitting by the fire. Colin was sitting over the other side of the room taking pictures of Harry. I rolled my eyes, I mean he's been at it for six years, the feeling is gone (Or should be).
I walked up to my room where my trunk was at the end of my bed. But something was wrong….
…My owl, Snowfire, was gone and I hadn't let her out of the cage.
Something made me jump. Selina, one of the girls in my year, came into the room.
"I hope you don't mind, I borrowed Snowfire so I could send a letter back to my dad."
Oh…. Right…ever since her mum died because of Voldemort (So what if I say his name) her father wants her to send a letter telling him she got here fine.
"Oh, that's ok." There I talked to her. Usually I wont talk to people I don't like. She's one of the people who has a crush on Harry it gets really annoying. (Ok, Ok so I did like him. But the key word is DID!)
She gave me a quick smile and left the room. A minute later Snowfire came in and she had a note attached to her leg. At first I thought it was Selina's dad but when I looked at the note it was addressed to "Gin" only people who know me know that I like to be called "Gin". But the handwriting was unfamiliar.
I opened it only to have a paper dove fly out and whisper "I Love You" into the air.
Who would've done that? Was all I could think of. The next thought was all the guys who I knew liked me.
No one was brave enough to do something like that.
At least that's what I think. Anyway, I usually stay up late but for some reason I couldn't keep my eyes open. So I got into my PJ's and went to bed.
The next morning I awoke at an early hour… a little too early!
I groaned and got up to take a shower. The water trickled down my back and got my brain starting.
As I got to the common room I saw Hermione sitting in one of the common room chairs. She looked up and then put her book down.
"What are you wearing Virginia?" She demanded
"What I always wear on a Weekend" Was my reply. Wrong answer. She blew her top…
"Ginny you are a young woman! You can't go around looking like that. You should do what I do and wear my robes all the time." I inwardly groaned. I did not need to be lectured about what I wear.
"That's because you are Head Girl. I'm not even a prefect-"
"That's because you don't try hard enough." She responded.
I turned around and left the tower. As I was walking along the corridors I spotted Malfoy wondering around. Great just what I needed. Another encounter with the enemy was not on my to do list.
"Weasley what are you doing wandering the halls?" he asked
"I could say the same to you."
"Just looking" He answered.
"Well I thought all scum lived in the dungeons." I should've kept my mouth shut.
"You're the one that hangs around with Mudbloods don't you reckon you're the scum…." I think he was going to say more but he looked into my eyes. I was fuming. I think he thought it was funny because he toppled over a laughed. I just stepped over him and kept on walking. I had a feeling he was watching me.
I got my timetable today. This sucks. The seventh years are doing for the first term, a teaching course and will be teaching us along with our real teachers. I got all the people I didn't want to see during class.
I got Malfoy, Granger, Potter, Weasley, Longbottom, Parkinson and a few others.
I groaned. First up on a Monday was Potions. Great Malfoy!
I went back up to the tower to find another note on my bed. This time it didn't have a charmed piece of paper but a note saying I Love You Ginny! Ok this was really freaking me out.
I had just walked down to the common room. Harry was sitting on an armchair near the fire. Well I didn't want to be anywhere near him so I left. Bad choice!
"Where do you think you are going Ginny? I saw you yesterday, you were looking into Malfoy's eyes. I don't want you near him!" Stupid brother why does he have to spoil everything? And why would I go anywhere near Malfoy?
"For your information Ron, Malfoy was only stoping me from falling on my face since Harry was being such a Bitch and didn't look where he was going. You know what? I'm sick of you harry! I'm sick of you acting all 'Look at me, Look at me' I'm over with liking you so get over it too."
"I can't get over something that could've been great." Harry told me and the rest of the common room.
"Um. Hello where have you been for the past six years? I've liked you since you first started at this school, but no, you were too up yourself to do anything about it, and I eventually got over it. End of discussion!" I walked straight out of the room and went out onto the grounds.
I had found in the library, in my second year, a book written by a girl in her seventh year. Dated not to long ago. She wrote about a secret place just out of sight of the castle where she used to go to get peace and quiet. She used to meet a stag there, (A/N: any guesses who?) I now go there although I haven't met another animal except a snowy owl. The place centres me.
Well I left and went to my 'Special Place', the owl was there waiting for me. He looked so soft and tame, yet each time I went close to him, he reels back like he is afraid. Well I haven't had the nerve to tell him any of my secrets but soon I'll just open up.
I don't take divination any more, but it doesn't take a fool to realise that my feeling are bottled up and one day I will blow.
From where I was sitting I could see the sun setting. The sky looked as red as blood, yet as black as night. It was a beautiful afternoon, but there was something missing. I started walking back to the castle and remembered, dinner started when the sun set.
I ran back to the school and made it in time to sit down at the end of the table. Unfortunately that end was closest to the Slytherin's table, and Malfoy just happened to be sitting at the end of the table.
I groaned again just what I need.
Dumbledore had stood up to make a few announcements.
"Our first Hogsmeade trip will be next week, please remember to hand in your permission slips. Classes start tomorrow please be prompt for your first lesson."
Again I groaned I had tried to forget who I had for classes but again I looked at the Slytherin table and realised Malfoy was looking straight at me. I turned to see who was behind me and when I looked back he was laughing at me. I turned red with embarrassment and fury, and then I turned my attention back to Professor Dumbledore.
He sat back down in his chair, and I thought he was looking straight at me. I shook my head and looked down at my dessert.
On second thoughts I wasn't hungry. I got up and left, there was no reason for me to stay.
It was a cold night and my roommates wouldn't leave the common room until Harry did so I had some time to write to my penpal in Bulgaria. He went to Durmstrang.
I stared at the blank parchment. Who was I kidding he hasn't sent me another letter since fourth year. He has probably left the school by now. I left my bed and got changed into my pj's. I could still hear the girls from all years giggling in the common room. I could distinctly hear Ron talking to the girls as well but they were listening and liking him.
I rolled my eyes and went to bed. Thankfully I didn't wake up to the blond bimbo's walking up the stairs.
A/N: Ok so this is my first Ginny/Draco story. WARNING before you review please remember that I haven't done one of these before, AND it will not be in the point of view of Ginny the whole story. The next chapter will be in Draco's Point of view and then it will be in a third person kind of story. Please review. I have one main event to the story but if you want to suggest event during the story feel free to tell me. And please tell me if it sucks.
Thanks.
See you soon
