NO, I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING; except the plot, maybe and Laurielle and Zack.

Chapter one: but you're only thirteen!

***

"Oh my gosh, Laurielle are you serious?" Ginny Weasley gasped. Her thirteen- year-old cousin nodded. "Duh, Gin! Why are you so surprised?" Ginny snorted. "You know, Lor, you're only thirteen."

Laurielle rolled her eyes. "Well is it *my* fault if I get along great with guys?" she demanded. "I guess, if you flirt a lot," Ginny muttered. Laurielle gasped. "I do NOT flirt!"

It was Ginny's turn to laugh. "Oh yeah right, Lor. If you don't flirt how did you manage to get a boyfriend so soon? Put a spell on him or something?"

Laurielle crossed her arms over her chest haughtily. "Listen, Ginny. I'm happy all right? And you would be too if you had a boyfriend of your very own."

Ginny gaped at her cousin. Laurielle was impossibly girly. "Who said I wasn't happy?" Ginny said defensively. "It's so obvious Ginny. A happy person wouldn't try and commit suicide."

"SUICIDE! ARE YOU CRAZY?" Ginny shrieked. Where would Laurielle get such a notion? Her cousin gave her a sweet smile. "I wasn't referring to you, Ginny. It was an example."

Ginny turned red. "Oh."

"So do I get to meet him? He cute?" Ginny asked. Laurielle nodded vigorously. "Yes and Yes. He's totally hot and you *will* meet him soon."

"Does he go to Hog warts?"

"Uh-huh. He's in third year too."

"What's him name?"

"Zachary but he likes to be called Zack."

"Hmm. . . Zack is such a loser's name."

"Bite your tongue!"

"Okay, okay, I'm biting!" Ginny and Laurielle exploded into fits of laughter.

**** **** **** Draco Malfoy was peacefully reading a book when his younger brother came bursting into the room. "Hey Draco! Guess what?"

"What?" Draco asked, looking warily at his hyperactive thirteen-year-old brother. "I said Guess, you dumb butt!"

Draco sighed and put the book down. "I don't know. . . you broke a window?"

"No."

"Mom bought you a dog?"

"No."

"You got your birthday money?"

"No."

"You---"

"I got myself a girlfriend!"

Draco lifted a brow and looked at his brother, hard. "Again?" he sighed. "That's the seventh time this WEEK, Zack!"

Zack smirked. "What happened to the last one?" Draco asked. Zack gave a quick sigh. "I got bored of her. Honestly, who would want to have a girlfriend who talked about our future children?"

Draco smirked. Zack was so fickle. Well---of course. Zack was hot and he knew it. He sort of acted like Draco at school except well---Draco wasn't THAT fickle. He respected girls a lot.

"Zack you are SO fickle."

"Don't I know it." Draco shook his head disapprovingly. His brother was so in a hurry to grow up. Then something struck Draco. "Zack." He said in a firm tone. "Marriage always comes first." With that, he stalked out of the room.

Zack put on a very confused look. "Where did *that* come from?"

***

"What's that?" Ginny asked as she applied some glittery pink nail polish on her cousin's perfectly shaped nail. Laurielle sighed dreamily. "Zack gave it to me." On Laurielle hung a beautiful necklace.

Ginny raised an eyebrow and whistled. "Whoa. That Zack must be loaded."

Laurielle giggled. "Uh-huh. He comes from a powerful family."

Ginny blew on Laurielle's nail to dry it. "Lucky girl," she said.

"So, what's it like being a 6th year?" Laurielle asked. Ginny wrinkled her nose. "Oh it's a ball." She said sarcastically. "I get tougher subjects and the teachers become even more terrible."

"Yup. Sounds like a blast," Laurielle replied, smirking. "Since when do you smirk?" Ginny demanded playfully. Laurielle didn't answer and continued painting her nails.

***

"ZACHARY MALFOY GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!" Draco roared. Zack came running down the stairs. "WHAT?" he yelled, alarmed.

Draco smirked. "Come on, we need to get to King's cross station if we want to make it."

"Oh. Big whoop." Zack said, rolling his eyes. Draco found his little brother very amusing.

"Now remember, kid, don't wander away from me."

"Shut up, Draco. You sound just like mom. I'm old enough to know where I want to go and what I want to do. I'll wander off if I *want* to."

"Don't be baby, Zack. Come on, we have to get a move on!" Draco pushed Zack out of the door.

"What about our bags, smarty-pants?" Zack snapped. Draco scowled. "I got that covered. Shut up and let's go."

***

Ginny twirled a strand of red hair on her index finger absent-mindedly. "So, when do I get to see him?" she asked Laurielle. "You'll see him now. I'm meeting him here. IS it okay if I go off and ride the in the same compartment with him?"

"You're mom wouldn't like it."

"You're not my mom."

"Well, *I* wouldn't like it either."

"Stop being so stubborn, Ginny!"

"I am NOT stubborn. Besides, I want to talk to him."

"He's my boyfriend."

"I'm not gonna steal him or anything."

"Alright, fine. Oh! There he is!" Ginny whirled around and saw a handsome boy about age 13 running towards them, being chased by another blond boy who seemed older.

"Hey honey!" Laurielle called out, waving to him. The boy stopped and gave a heart-stopping grin. "Hey Hun. I'd like you to meet my cousin Ginny Weasley."

Ginny extended her arm. "Nice to meet you," she said. "Likewise," the boy replied, shaking her hand.

"I'm Zack." Just then, the other blond boy who had been chasing him earlier came up and grabbed him roughly by the collar. "ZACK! I TOLD YOU NOT TO WANDER OFF!"

"Get off! I'm not a kid!"

"Next to ME you are!"

"I'm not standing next to you!"

"Draco Malfoy?" a quiet but shocked voice said. Draco turned to face a slender, red-haired girl. "Who are you?" he snarled.

The girl raised an eyebrow. "Ginny Weasley." She said. Draco looked her up and down. "You can't be. Ginny is a small, skinny stick."

Ginny frowned. "People change, Malfoy." She snapped. Draco smirked. "Indeed." He said.

"And some don't. Stop bothering Zack." Ginny said evenly. "Oh? And why should I do that when I'm responsible for my little brother?"

Ginny's jaw dropped. "Zack is a---MALFOY? LAURIELLE! How could you!"

Draco eyed Zack. "And who's this?" he demanded. Zack snaked his arm around Laurielle's waist. "This is Laurielle. She's my new girlfriend." Ginny and Draco gaped at them.

"Would you PLEASE stop acting like dead fish? It's embarrassing!" Laurielle hissed. Draco and Ginny stared at each other.

"Are you---related to this girl?" Draco asked. Ginny nodded. "Oh my gosh. ZACK! SHE'S A WEASLEY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"

Zack scowled. "So?"

"SO! Why ever would you want a weasel?"

"HEY! I RESENT THAT!" came Ginny's shrill voice. She punched Draco right in the jaw.

"OOH!" Laurielle covered her face. Zack laughed. "Good one, Ginny!"

Ginny smiled proudly. Draco rubbed his jaw. "Why'd you do that?" he growled. Ginny shrugged. "Reflex."

***

Zack and Laurielle had to literally drag Ginny and Draco into the train. The two were constantly insulting each other. Laurielle and Zack pushed them into a compartment and got in after them.

"I am NOT staying with a Malfoy!" Ginny snapped.

"And I am NOT staying with a weasel!" Draco shot back. Zack and Laurielle looked at each other warily. "Zack, do you know how to do a silencing charm?" Laurielle asked. Zack nodded.

Zack performed a silencing charm on the both of them. Draco's face turned bright red and he began lashing out at Zack. Laurielle sniggered. "What? Can't hear you!"

Ginny started screaming something but nothing came out. Zack stood up. "Now you two learn to get along!"

Laurielle pulled Zack down beside her and whispered into his ear. "They look cute together. Suppose we---have a little fun?"

Zack gave a mischievous grin. "Do tell."

"What if we set them up?"

"Ooh! I like the way you think!"

"This'll be fun!"

"How are we going to do it?"

"I have NO idea."

"I do! Why don't we . . ." Ginny and Draco looked curiously at the young couple.

Zack and Laurielle turned to them, big evil smiles plastered on their faces.
