Chapter 1: Bad Luck
"Well, if this isn't the littlest Weasley." Draco Malfoy sneered at the girl in front of him. He had just been on his way down from the owlery followed closely by his two ever-present companions Crabbe and Goyle when the blonde boy had spied the little redhead on her way up the stairs and decided to have a little bit fun with her. 'There's nothing more entertaining to let mudblood lovers know their place in society.'
The younger girl stopped short at the haughty voice she would recognize everywhere. "Malfoy." Ginny Weasley sighed more than she actually spat the name back at his pointy face accompanied by a glare.
The youngest Weasley had had so far the most tiring day of her fourth school year and all she wanted was to get that bloody letter posted off. "Why don't you just save your breath and go annoy my dearest brother? And if you're already at it please be so kind to include Ms. I-know-it-all and Mr. I'm-going-to-save-the-world in your self-righteous litany."
By now, the poor letter was crushed in her fist as the day replayed in her head. It was very tiring to be the youngest of seven children, even more tiring to deal with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger not to mind her mother and what she thought was best for her only daughter. Having lived through their meddling the entire day just because of one letter - well, you could say Ginny Weasley was beyond putting up with Draco Malfoy's I'm-better-than-you-attitude.
"My, my, little Weasel. What's with that attitude? A little more respect for your superiors if you please. And while we're at it, a bit more care for your appearance would do my eyes very good. You look like you crawled right out of a trashcan." Draco Malfoy glanced with disdain at the ruined school robe and wrinkled his nose. His two Slytherin friends loomed behind him laughing silently over her poor state of dress.
A blush crept up Ginny's cheeks. 'If they had been through what I have they wouldn't dare laughing about me' ,the girl thought furiously. "You stop laughing right this instance." She seethed and spat the words at their surprised faces.
The Malfoy boy raised his eyebrow. "You, a Weasley, giving me, a Malfoy, orders!" The boy's features looked like granite now as he stepped closer to intimidate her. Ginny's hair stood on end as Draco Malfoy came almost nose to nose with her. She looked directly into his grey eyes and hate welled up at those familiar eyes. Like father like son.
"You can't threaten me. You're just a puppet. Sooner or later you will figure it out but then it will be too late for you and your Slytherin scum." She glowered at him and his two goons.
Draco Malfoy was about to retaliate when his two friends growled at her spite against their house and pushed forward. Unfortunately, there was only so much space on a narrow spiral staircase. It went all very fast. Crabbe and Goyle pushed forward into their blonde leader who fell against the Weasley girl. In a moment of utter disgust, Draco pushed her away from himself and managed to get a hold on the walls.
However, not so Ginny Weasley. As soon as Malfoy pushed her away from him she keeled backwards, her fall to fast to hold onto the walls. In a matter of seconds, the three boys stood immobilized as the redheaded girl fell down the entire staircase. Nobody dared to breathe as the noise suddenly stopped. Crabbe had his eyes wide open and clutched hard at Malfoy's shoulders. The blood drained from Draco Malfoy's face as a thought crossed his mind. Goyle spoke it aloud what they all thought.
"We killed her."
