Chapter 1: An Unexpected Admirer

On the morning of August 20th, a young 16-year-old girl awoke with a start. Then, her bedroom door opened and Nathaniel McGinnis poked his head in and said, " Jamie sweety, get up! Come on, your mother's made breakfast, and today's the day you go to Ronald's house to spend the rest of the summer with him and Harry!" Jamie jumped up from the bed and said ,in a soft Irish accent, " Okay, I'm up! Good mornin', da!" He grinned and shut the door, and Jamie ran into her bathroom, took a shower, brushed her teeth and came out. She opened her wardrobe and stared at her reflection in the mirror. A very pretty face with almond shaped eyes that were a hypnotic, electric blue looked back at her. She rifled through her clothes and finally decided on a pair of faded blue jeans and a black sleeveless tank top. She looked in her mirror, tousled her long, silky black hair one last time, and went downstairs to eat. The truth was, Jamison Erin McGinnis was no ordinary girl. She was a witch, and she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland.

She was the smartest witch of her age, but she didn't like to flaunt it. She ran into the kitchen, skidded to a stop, greeted her mother, Ariella, then sat down to eat. While she was eating, the lock on the kitchen door clicked, a mess of jet-black hair appeared, and Harry Potter, dragging his trunk and owl's cage under his arm, came into Jamie's kitchen. Jamie squealed, jumped up, ran over to him and literally jumped on Harry, so her legs were wrapped around his waist. Harry, laughing and hugging her back, said, " I'm happy to see you, too, Jamie, but, can we go now?" She let go of him and said, "Yeah, we should be going." They all walked into the living room and Ariella and Nathaniel hugged Jamie and Harry and said goodbye, and Ariella said to them, "Go ahead, I'll Floo your things over to Ronald's. Have a great term, you two!"

Harry and Jamie Flooed over to Ron's house, and, after greeting Ron and Ginny, the 4 Weasleys, Jamie and Harry ate outside and caught up with each other. Then, Harry and Ginny went in the house, leaving Ron and Jamie by themselves. Ron was opening and closing his mouth, and he looked awkward.

Jamie said, "Is there something you wanted to say, Ronald?" He started and said, "Oh, uh...yeah." He then turned, grabbed Jamie's hands and said, "Look, I'm just going to say this before I give up and lose my nerve completely. Jamie, I love you. I've loved you for the longest time."

Jamie looked extremely uncomfortable, and she said, grimacing, "Oh. I hoped you wouldn't say that." She pulled her hands out of his, and Ron frowned and said, "Why'd you say that?" Jamie sighed and turned towards Ron, saying, "Look, Ronnie, I am flattered, I really am, but...I just don't feel that way about you. I'm sorry." Ron looked forlorn for a minute, then he sighed and said, "Well, I guess it's for the best, yeah? We argue way too much to be an actual couple; I'm positive we would've killed each other a week into the relationship." Jamie laughed and ruffled his hair affectionately, and Harry and Ginny came back outside, and the four laid on the grass and watched the stars, thinking about how their next term would be at Hogwarts.

The next day, as Jamie, Harry, Ron and Ginny walked along the platform to get on the train, Jamie noticed that her new look was turning a few heads. As she went to get on the trrain, it felt like someone….special was staring at her. She turned and came face-to-face with ferret boy himself, Draco Malfoy. He spat at her, "What are you looking at , McGinnis?" Jamie spat back, "You thought I was looking at you? Hmph! Someone's full of himself this morning!"

Draco's P.O.V.

I was about to get on the train, but this really hot girl was standing in front of me. She was hot from the back, anyway. So, I went to introduce myself when she turned around. 'Holy shit!' I thought to myself. It was McGinnis! Now, I always thought that McGinnis was hot( If you tell anyone, I will deny it!), but just then, she was so hot that she almost seemed….unreal, like she was a goddess that had come down from Mt. Olypus (and yes, I read Greek Mythology! Got a problem with it? Didn't think so. Anyways..)

. I threw a comment at her, and she threw it right back in my face! How dare she? When I had gotten on the train and I was sitting with Crabbe, Goyle, Zabini and Parkinson(who was all over me), I realized that I wanted her! I wanted Jamie! I had always admired her, her brains, beauty, and the fact that she didn't like to show off her knowledge of everything. 'I'd like to teach her a few things myself!', I found myself thinking, though oddly, I wasn't disgusted. Silently, at that moment, I vowed to myself that this would be the year I seduce Jamie McGinnis and make her my girlfriend!

Oh, yeah………this is gonna be an interesting year!
