Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (of course I wish I did, but that's another story entirely) or Ginny or Draco (again, another wishful story) or Kings Cross or anything else of any deep concern. I'd also like to say I don't own the word "Wonderstruck," which I believe was invented by Taylor Swift. At least, it's pretty much her word now.

So this is actually a chapter story! I mean it! I haven't written in a while, but I decided last night while reading Thin Lines (by cuddlebear992, the best author ever) that I would try. It won't even be comparable to hers though.

It's a Ginny/Draco one (well, pretty clearly for me anyway, because they're the best couple)! I have already written Chapter 2, and I think I'll publish it soon. Maybe today. I'm not sure.

Note: The summary is an excerpt from Chapter 2.

Here it is! Please review :)


Ginny Weasley stepped off the Hogwarts Express, her red hair looking like fire in the glinting sunlight. There was the usual crowd of people there, the older mums saying hello to their older kids and the young mums asking their twelve-year-olds how they liked Hogwarts.

After a second, Ginny spotted Mrs. Weasley standing to the side. She was laughing and hugging Harry and Hermione, and didn't look up.

"Where's your mum?" someone said behind Ginny. She spun around. Draco Malfoy. Of course, that's who it would be.

She glared at him. "She's over there," Ginny snapped. "Where's yours?"

Oh, that was a very very good point. Draco looked beat for a brief shining moment. Then he just rolled his eyes. "She's preparing dinner at our house. We're having dinner with The Minister. But of course, you wouldn't understand what that's like."

"We don't have room for The Minister at our house usually," Ginny said sweetly. "Harry Potter takes up our last chair."

Draco Malfoy gave a sneer and glanced over at Harry, who was now heading to the barrier to meet his Uncle Vernon. Ginny flushed. Maybe that wasn't the best thing to say. Draco hated Harry, and Harry wasn't a celebrity to him either.

"Well, maybe you can get famous half-Giant Hagrid to eat dinner with you after Harry gets murdered," Draco said, smirking.

Ginny felt herself go white. What did he know about that? Nothing, surely. He was just trying to make her scared. He was a jerk. That's what he did. "Shut up," she snapped, managing to make get voice sound a but strong.

To her surprise, Draco didn't smirk more or making a cutting comment. He just walked away.

Ginny watched him approach Blaise. But before he did, he turned around for a second. "Hey, Weasley," he called to her. "I was just trying to scare you about Harry."

The world seemed to freeze with Ginny. Draco didn't turn around again as he started to talk to Blaise, but something felt different. What had just happened? How did Draco know how much he'd scared her? He hated her. Why did he care if she was scared? He'd meant to scare her.

"Ginny, what are you doing? Come on!" somebody was calling to her. It was distant, though.

The only thing she was aware of was Draco. He seemed to notice this, because he stepped forward and said in his usual sneering tone, "Your Mum wants you, Weasley!"

The world snapped back into place a bit. Ginny shook her head and looked up. "Oh, right," she muttered.

She stepped off the train, and came crashing down to the ground.

The fall awakened her senses. Ginny got up quickly, staggered, and straightened. She was painfully aware of the eyes that were staring at her from a directions. But she was most aware of Draco's.

Draco was laughing harder then shed ever seen him. "She can't even walk," he said in a sneering tone to Blaise, looking at her.

That was more like it. He was jerky Draco. Most likely he'd only calmed her because he thought people were watching him or something. No, he probably did it to weird her out like this. He was right if he had. Her ankle hurt, and she was humiliating. Draco was the biggest jerk she'd ever met.

"Are you all right?" Mrs. Weasley hurried forward. "Ginny!"

But Ginny just shoved forward. "I'm fine, Mum. Can we go?"

But even as they left through the barrier, Ginny wasn't okay. She was mortally humiliated. And angry. Angry at Draco Malfoy, the biggest jerk ever.


Did you like it? I hope so! Yes, even with a new chapter story we have that routine. It's just natural for me to write that I guess?

Please review! I love reviews! I read stories with tons and tons of reviews, and I wonder how anybody ever got that many? I mean, the most reviews I've ever gotten on any one story was 9, and they were just like two consistent reviewers and my sister.

Maybe I could go for a new record? Try for 10? I'll get Chapter 2 up soon, maybe that will help? I know chapter stories get more reviews, so I'm hoping for them!

Linley :)
