Summary: Ginny Weasley, Avery Malfoy, and Draco Malfoy were good friends as children, but one day the Malfoy Children stopped coming to the park to play and stopped owling Ginny. Ginny hasn't spoken to them since she was six years old. Now Ginny is starting to attend Hogwarts were Avery will attend and Draco attends with Ginny's brother Ron. Ginny forgives Avery, but can she forgive Draco completely?

AN: So I haven't wrote in a while so I hope this works!

"Ginny!" Ron yelled.

"What Ron!" Ginny yelled.

"You've been in the bathroom for a half an hour! Some of us still need to use it!"

"I'm just about done just hold on! Merlin!"

I finished drying my hair and opened the door.

"There you go, sir." I said while Ron rolled his eyes.

I went downstairs for breakfast. "Morning Mum."

"Ah Good Morning Ginny dear." Mum said in a hushed tone.

"Mum you are not going to cry are you?"

"My last child is finally going to be going to Hogwarts!" My mum wailed while giving me a hug.

"Mum your squishing me!"

"I'm sorry it's just going to be so lonely here."

"You'll have Dad here and it's not like I'm going to be gone forever."

"I know, now eat up before your brothers and Harry come down to eat.

Once everyone was full from eating we all loaded into the car and head to Kings Cross. My mum and dad followed me closely all the way to the train. They were looking around a lot.

"What are you guys looking for?" I asked.

"Nothing, nothing." Dad said.

I hear my mum inhale quickly. I looked at her and then to where she was looking. That was when I saw them. No one could have missed them with their white blonde hair.

It has been five years since they stopped showing up at the park. Draco has grown up a lot and was very handsome, just like I knew he would be. Avery still had her small, short form. I was grabbed by the arm.

"Come on Ginny dear you don't want to miss the train! That would be a bad first year start!" Mum said.

I nodded. "Alright."

"I wonder where Harry and Ron went." Mum said looking around while we walked towards the train.

"They are probably with Hermione." I said.

"Oh yes. I just can't believe they didn't say goodbye. Oh well, have a good first year Ginny. Write to us and we will see you around Christmas time."

"I will, I will."

"Bye Gin-bug." My dad said giving me a hug.

"Bye." I said hugging him back.

I went onto the train and found an empty compartment. The only people I knew were people I haven't spoken to in five years, Ronald and Harry. So an empty compartment had to do, since Ron and Harry are missing.

My compartment door opened to a bushy brunette. I knew instantly that it was Hermione.

"Oh you must be Ginny! I saw the red hair and thought Ron was here."

I forced myself not to roll my eyes. "Yes, I'm Ginny. Hermione right?"

"Yes, Ron and Harry must have told you about me."

"Oh yes, but if you were wondering where they are I haven't seen them since we got to the train station sorry. Must have lost them coming through the wall."

"Oh well, they will come and find me. "

"Have you met anyone in your year yet?" She asked sitting down.

"No not yet. I know someone form when I was younger, but that's all."

"Oh and who is that?" Hermione asked.

"You wouldn't know her, maybe her brother I guess."

"Is he in my year?"

"Yeah, Ron doesn't like him though."

"Oh I see."

"Avery Malfoy is the girl and-"

"Draco Malfoy is her brother?" She sneered.

"Yeah. Do you not like him either?" I asked.

"He is extremely rude and a downright foul git!"

"That doesn't sound like the Draco I knew."

"Well that is the Draco everyone at Hogwarts knows."

"Oh well I guess I haven't seen him and talked to him in five years so I guess something changed him."

Hermione didn't really say anything after that. We sat in silence for another ten minutes before she finally spoke again.

"Well I'm going to go see if I can find Harry and Ronald." I nodded and she left.

I went back to staring out the window.

"Ginny, Ginny Weasley?" I turned to see who was saying my name.

"I thought I saw you and your parents at the train station! I haven't seen you in how long now?"

"It's been five years Avery."

"Oh right sorry. Has it been that long? It feels like it was only yesterday that we were playing together at the old park."

"Do you remember that?" Avery asked.

"Yeah I do." I whispered.

"You're mad aren't you? At Draco and I?"

"You can't expect me to not be mad! You two promised me you would show up and if you couldn't you would owl me! You never did. I wrote to you for months before my mum stated hiding the parchment!"

"You two were my best friends and you treated me like shit!" I yelled.

Avery was looking down.

"Ginny we wanted to come, we really did, but-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses." I hissed.

"If you didn't want to hang out with me just tell me."

"Ginny your acting childish. We were five, Draco was six! Do you think we had the choice of coming to the park or not?

"You used to tell me your parents didn't care what you two did as long as you took one of your stupid house elves!"

"Well I guess they did they told Draco that he had to stop acting like a child and start learning manners and start learning how to be a true Malfoy."

"What a good excuse. What's yours?"

"Ginny I'm telling you the truth! I don't have an excuse, happy?"

"I was told Weasleys shouldn't have friends like the Malfoys!"

"Why couldn't you have told me that five years ago?"

"Because we weren't allowed to talk to you anymore! Both of our parents thought we would grow out of hanging out with each other. Or we would forget about all of this."

I sighed. I knew I believe Avery. It sounded just like her parents. "What are we going to do?"

"I mean a lot has changed. My parents think that I've forgotten about you and Draco and you parents think they made you hate me."

"Our parents don't have to know about us hanging out." Avery said.

"But do you think Draco will go along with it? I know Ron won't go along with it. He hates Draco."

"Draco might not. I don't know though, he kinda turned into a Daddy's Boy."

"Well I guess we will—"

"AVERY ELIZABETH MALFOY! What do you think you are doing?"

"Catching up with an old friend. I don't see anything wrong with this. You remember Ginny, though, don't you Draco."

"We aren't suppose to talk to any Weasley's, especially Gin-Weaslette."

"Draco stop the act. Mum and Dad don't have to know we are talking to her."

"She talks to mudbloods!"

"You use to too! Remember? Before Dad brainwashed you!"

"Just because dad thinks they are blood traitors doesn't mean that we have to listen!"

"Well you go on and talk to that filth, but I'm not!" He hissed

I couldn't believe this was coming out of Draco's mouth. He never cared before about talking to muggles or muggle-borns. Maybe Ron, Harry and Hermione were right, that he did change. I turned away from Draco. I started to look out the window again. My eyes began to get blurry. I wasn't going to cry over a lost cause. It has been years, I just need to get over it. I told myself.

"All I have to say Avery is just be ready for when Father fines out. I won't tell him, but that doesn't mean anyone else won't."

"Okay brother." Avery hissed and Draco left.

The train finally got to Hogwarts. Avery and I walked with the rest of the first years to the boats with Hagrid. "Draco has told me a lot about Hogwarts, but his words don't even describe how beautiful it is." Avery said.

"I know!"

We had to wait in the hallway while the older students were seated. An older lady walked out. "Good evening first years! I'm Professor McGonagall. At this time we will proceed to the Great Hall where you will be sorted into one of the four houses. Which are: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. After you have all been sorted the feast will begin. Now follow me!"

We entered the Great Hall with all eyes on us. Avery was waving at people she knew and I was looking for Ron and Harry. They were not sitting at the Gryffindor table.

Name after, name was called. Avery was finally called.

"Wish me luck!" she whispered.

"Good Luck!"

"Ah another Malfoy." The Hat said. Avery just smiled. "Well, well, well there are two houses you would do well in Slytherin and Gryffindor."

I looked at the Slytherin table and if looks could kill Draco would have all of Hogwarts dead.

"But to make your father proud, Slytherin!" Draco's glare became a smirk and he clapped loudly.

I was the last to be sorted. "Ginny Weasley."

I walked up to the stool and sat down. Professor McGonagall put the hat on my head. "Ah the last of the Weasley's. I see a brave and powerful witch. Harder to choose than your brothers. Hmmm… I think bravery pulls through for you though so Gryffindor it is!"

I could hear Fred and George cheering loudly. Avery was also clapping loudly. To my surprise though, Draco was clapping too. The rest of Slytherin stayed quiet. I hopped down to the Gryffindor table where I was hugged and congrats. The feast began and all I could think about was how this was either going to be the best time of my life, or the worst.
