Feeling Different
Chapter 1 (Unhappy train ride)
All of London lay quite in a deep slumber as dawn approached the up and coming day. The day Harry Potter started his last year at Hogwarts.
"Harry, wake up" whispered a voice at the side of his bed "you to Ron!"
"Ginny this is getting us no where, we've been at it for ten minutes straight!" Hermione sighed
"Oh well you two just stand aside, I'll take care of it!"
"NO, Blair not like that!" Hermione shrieked
Moments later Harry and Ron where thrown into a tub filled with cold water. The two were a frit. They looked as though they were icebergs in to middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Good morning dear" she smiled
"M-morning Blair" Ron chattered
"I'm sorry Harry, we tried to stop her." Ginny sympathized
"Ha, you couldn't stop her if you tired." Harry spat while rolling his eyes
"You two had best get your asses downstairs in five minutes" Blair yelled "or we're leaving with out you!"
Hermione and Ginny both nodded and with that they all stormed out of the room slamming the door behind them.
"And you fancy that girl?" Harry asked pointing at the door.
"I know right. I must be out of my bloody mind." Ron laughed
By Blair's word the boys were down stairs within there short time frame. The girls were waiting in the car with Fred and George as they walked out of the burrow. Ron through his and Harry's trunks in the back of the car then joined Blair in the back seat of the car.
"Harry I saved to a seat" Ginny gestured to her left.
"No, Gin that's alright. I think- I think I'll sit in the front with Fred and George." he said while opening the passenger door and getting in. Ginny looked over towards Hermione and Blair and flashed them a strange look as though she was just slapped in the face. She sat their quietly not really knowing how to react as George started the engine and they sped off towards King's Cross.
George pulled into the station parking lot and everyone got out of the car going straight for the trunk.
"Now don't tell me we have to walk widdle Ronniekins to the platform" teased Fred as he handed Hermione her trunk.
"Yeah I think he's just about ready to make that big step and finally leave us the hell alone" laughed George
"Shut up!" barked Ron
"Just ignore them!" snorted Hermione
"Oh god you two are so uptight, it's obvious they're joking" Blair said annoyed with the two.
"Come on lets go get some trolleys" Harry said quickly before Ron and Blair started to argue.
Ginny gave her twin brothers a hug before she left the parking lot with the others.
The five collected their trolleys and headed for platform 9 and 3 quarters. Hermione felt a tug on her sleeve. She turned around to see that Ginny had stopped.
"Ginny we don't have time for dawdling, what is it?"
"Have you noticed that Harry's been acting strangely?"
"What?"
"Ever since last night!"
"Ginny this is neither the time nor the place to be talking about that type of stuff. We're going to miss the train." Hermione puffed "Come on!"
"Hey slow pokes; let's get a move on it!" Blair called at the platform before entering it.
Hermione grabbed a hold of her trolley and ran towards the platform leaving Ginny alone to her thoughts.
"Ginerva Molly Weasley!" Ron's voice roared down the station "Don't make me come down there!"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "I'm coming, gees!"
As Ginny passed through the platform her mind traced back to Harry and his behavior towards her in car... he was avoiding her. The Hogwarts express was the first thing she saw. She smiled and sighed. It was her first time seeing it as a sixth year. That's right she was sixteen now and hardly recognizable, well if it wasn't for her fiery red hair. She had certainly grown into her body over this summer though she couldn't help but feel sad. Sure she had grown up and even nabbed Harry Potter, but she knew it wouldn't last. She already saw the relationship falling apart.
The trains whistle blew signaling all passengers still on the platform to hurry and aboard the train. Ginny snapped out of her dreamlike state and lugged her trunk onto the train and went looking for Harry.
She dodged through compartments with no luck in finding him when her eyes caught a hold of Blair.
"Blair!"
"Hm?" she turned around to the voice "oh Ginny. I've been looking for you"
"Yeah, same here. Do you know where Harry's gone?" said Ginny "cause I can't find him."
"Of course, he's in my compartment" Blair grabbed a hold of Ginny's hand and directed her towards that compartment. "Look who I've found" stated Blair clamping her hand on Ginny's shoulder. They all looked at her.
"Ginny is that you?" said Seamus astonished causing her to blush.
Ginny looked up and nodded. Ron noticed Neville, Dean, and Seamus checking out his not so little, little sister.
"Alright, alright already stop staring, okay. So she grew. Get over it. Besides she already taken." Ron said half annoyed
"By Harry I presume?" questioned Neville.
Ron nodded while crossing his arms.
"You lucky bastard!" Dean grinned patting him on the back.
"Yeah, lucky" he said a little too plain
"Well that sounded convincing Harry" Blair said bluntly.
Hermione now noticed what Ginny was trying to tell her at the station.
"I think I'd better go find another compartment" Ginny said not much higher than a whisper.
"Gin?"
"No, Ron I can see when I'm not wanted and besides the compartment is all full"
"But Hermione and I will be leaving for-"
"Forget it!" she shouted slamming the compartment door closed and running down the hall with tears in her eyes.
"What the bloody hell was that about?"
"It's none of your business Ron"
"You better believe it's my business!" Ron said standing up "My sister is upset and you're the cause of it. Now I wanna know what's going on."
"Leave it Ron. It's between her and me!" Harry said raising his voice.
"Ron you know he's right. It's not our concern." Hermione said butting in "besides we have to head over to the perfect cart, come on."
"Humph, fine. Later." Ron sorta grunted
Meanwhile Ginny had stopped crying and was wondering aimlessly to find an empty compartment or at least one with few people in it, when finally at the back of the last cart she found a compartment all to herself. She sighed in relied that she could be alone. Ginny put her trunk in the storage overhead then sat down on one of the cushion seats closing her eyes. Not even a minute after Ginny had sat down the door opened again. A very tall, slender boy stood there he's pale gray eyes upon her. It took Ginny a few seconds to figure out who this boy was, and then it suddenly clicked 'Draco Malfoy'.
"Do you mind if I share this compartment with you?" he asked
Ginny was at a loss for words. Did Draco Malfoy just ask her a Weasley, if he could share this compartment with her?!"
"Could I sh-"
"No, I got that part." She said cutting him off "I wanna know why?" Ginny asked confused
"Because the rest are full" he stated with a laugh
"You must not remember me Malfoy or else you got a new personality."
"I beg your pardon?" Draco asked cocking a brow "I refuse to allow a complete stranger to pass judgment on me!"
"Why not? You do it to my family all the time" Ginny snapped
"I doubt I wound forget the face of an enemy." He said while examining her.
"Ah, never mind" she bickered "I'd rather sleep in the hallway then spend one more second in a room alone with you."
Ginny got up, collected her trunk and headed for the door when Draco grabbed her by the forearm causing her to drop her trunk.
"You can't talk to me like that!" he said shoving her back to her seat.
"Why, because I'm a witch?" she paused "and I could never amount to anything because I'm a female?"
"Uh, no. that's not what I was gonna say." Draco stumbled
"No? Are you quite sure? Because I know for a fact that that's what you were thinking"
"Who are you" he asked amazed
"You still don't know?" she asked suspired.
He shook his head. Ginny rolled her eyes while brushing her hand through her hair.
"I'm Ginny Weasley"
Draco froze for a moment. "The little Weaslette? Know shit!" he said looking her up and down.
Ginny crossed her arms over her chest and gave Draco a dirty look.
"Sorry I can't help but check out her merchandise, they weren't as... large the last time I saw you" he grin
Ginny's cheeks turned a light shade of pink. She had never been so embarrassed around Harry, so why of all people Draco? Well maybe it was because Draco was paying attention to her.
"Shouldn't you be in the prefect cart?" she asked annoyed
"Well if you must know I've already been. That's why I was looking for a compartment just now. And that's head boy" he declared tapping the badge.
"Humph, head boy huh? I don't even know why Dumbledore made you a perfect in the first place" she said more to herself than him "Now Hermione on the other hand. She deserves it."
"That filthy mudblood?"
"Hey, watch it!"
"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it little Weaslette?" laughed Draco
"I'll um... I'll hex you!" she reached for her wand in her back pocket. "I've done it before remember." she smiled while pointing her wand at his chest. "I could easily do it again."
Draco held his hands up in the air as if surrendering. "Don't do anything stupid now. Remember I'm head boy I could get you in a lot of trouble for attacking a student"
Ginny hesitated, she sighed while rolling her eyes "Fine, but if you're gonna stay, then stay. Don't speak to me though understand?" she ordered while putting her wand back in her pocket.
"Yeah I understand" Draco said as he sat down opposite from her not making another sound.
A few hours passed but finally the train began to slow down as it approached Hogwarts. Ginny stood up to stretch. Draco couldn't help but examine her newer and more likeable body.
"Stop it you pervert!" Ginny shrieked while turning around.
Draco tilted his head. "Hm, not bad"
Ginny quickly sat back down with her arms crossed. "You're disgusting!" she said angrily
Draco laughed, and then cleared his throat. "What, I didn't do anything. It's not like I was feeling you up." he explained.
"Didn't your mother ever teach you to treat girls with respect?"
"Hm, no she didn't come to think of it"
"You're such a jerk" she said hotly getting her stuff and leaving Draco alone in the compartment.
Ginny headed back towards the compartment Harry and the others were occupying, but once she got there it was completely empty.
Ginny sighed "no one waited for me"
She looked down the hallway and saw Draco emerge from the compartment she had left not even a minute ago. There eyes locked for a moment until Ginny turned in the opposite direction leaving the train.
While stepping onto the platform she looked through the hundreds of students for a familiar face. Ginny gasped when she felt a hand clamp onto her shoulder, she whirled around to see Harry smiling down at her.
"Harry!" Ginny said extremely surprised "but, you- I- I mean-" she stumbled
"Look Gin, I'm sorry about earlier. I was thinking too much about last night and-"
"I understand" she said cutting him off.
Harry placed his arm around her shoulder. "I just wasn't exactly sure how to face you. So after a whole train ride to think about it I've put it passed me."
Ginny smiled. "I'm glad"
Harry gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Mm, Draco" she whispered
Harry pulled her away from him. "Excuse me?!" he said appalled
"Huh? No, Draco- I mean Malfoy, he- ah, he came into my compartment and was giving me a hard time" she said quickly
"Did he?"
Ginny nodded vigorously
"Don't worry about him. Ron and I will take care of it" he said with an evil grin on his face.
Ginny lifted a brow. "O...kay?"
Harry locked hands with Ginny and the two of them went looking for the others.
