Loving You Secretly
Chapter 1: Wizavision
Before I begin the story, there are some necessary things to note in order for readers to understand the story, I may add some more:
Durmstrang is an all boys wizard school. Beauxbaton is an all girls wizard school. Hogwarts is a mixed gender wizard school.
Voldemort and his death eaters do not exist at all
Harry and Draco are best friends, they attend Durmstrang, and they play quidditch
Ron and Hermione attends Hogwarts, and are together. Ron plays quidditch
Weasleys (including Ron and Ginny) do not know who is Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy.
Bill and Charlie are working in their respective countries as in the actual series.
This is a story about love, power, prejudice and discrimination.
In my story, they only begin wizarding school at 16, and it last till they're 20
Ginny is 15 going on 16. Harry, Draco, Ron and Hermione are 16 going on 17
10.) I just fitting HP characters into my actual story, so please don't flame me. And
just follow the story, I promise to make it nice and simple to understand.
"Weasleys, come and take a look at what I've got from work?" Arthur Weasley called out to his family.
"What, Dad? Not one of those muggle devices again?" Ron Weasley muttered as he descended the stairs, "I was trying to owl Hermione"
"What's it this time, Dad? Is it something really cool?" Ginny Weasley asked as she emerged from the kitchen with flour powdered across her nose.
"I'd bet it's a rubber duck" Fred chorused
"And I'd bet it squirts water" George sang along.
"Honestly, Ginny, you've really got to learn to take care of yourself, you'd be off to school next September and look at yourself, you look a mess." Arthur chided, "This Weasleys, is a Wizavision. It shows events that are happening all around the wizarding world at the moment. There are a hundred over channels to tune to. You kids can tune in to the schools channel, where events and news updates of the various wizarding schools are shown"
"Wicked. That means I can know what's going on in the world just by looking into this box?" Ron exclaimed.
"Yeah, wicked. I can get to see what Hogwarts look like from inside out, and just imagine, all the quidditch matches I can watch" Ginny shrieked.
"Back off little sis, you're suppose to be helping mum with dinner. Go along now, shoo" said Ron. Ginny knew she had to help her mother and couldn't challenge her brother, so she dropped her head in defeat and headed back into the kitchen.
"Tonight's special event, we have clips of Quidditch matches from the various wizarding schools and our special reports on the star teams" boomed the wizavision.
"Ooh...that's me, I'll be in it. Gryffindor's Quidditch team is the strongest in all ages" Ron yelled as he attempted to chew on his chicken.
"Stop talking with your mouth full, Ron" Molly Weasley chided. Ginny gave a little laugh and turned her attention to the wizavision.
"Yeah, you'd better stop it, Ron. Or they'd have to replace you with Neville as Keeper next year and it'd be the end of the Gryffindor team" said Fred.
"Durmstrang as produced the strongest teams of quidditch players the century has ever seen. This season, the Eagles from Durmstrang have recruited the strongest, swiftest and most agile players in the history of Quidditch. Harry Potter, the new keeper of the Eagles, he never misses a quaffle. Draco Malfoy, the successor of Victor Krum, Eagles best seeker so far, his fast moves proves that he may one day surpass the star player himself" the wizavision went on and on.
Ginny watched as images of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were flashed across the scene. Following every move of the blonde seeker as he dived and swooped, as swiftly as the eagle, wondering how good he looked and how wonderful it would be to be able to study with him, play on his team. Then, a crazy idea formed in her mind.
"Ginny, Ginny, GINNY!" Molly yelled.
"Mum, you scared me" Ginny jumped.
"You were spacing out, dear. Something bothering you?" Molly asked, concerned.
"Well, actually, yes. I was thinking, about whether I should follow all my brothers and enter Hogwarts" Ginny asked.
"Why not? Hogwarts has taught your brothers well, dear. Is there somewhere else you wish to enroll in? Beauxbaton? I'm fine with that as long as your dad agrees" Molly replied.
"No, mum. This might sound crazy, but I wish to enter Durmstrang. I want to play quidditch with the Eagles" Ginny blurted out.
"I knew it. I knew it. I shouldn't have let you play too much quidditch with those brothers of yours. Now you're addicted. Pray tell, how are you going to get yourself into Durmstrang? You are a girl, for Merlin's sake" Molly exclaimed.
"If nobody disagrees, I wouldn't mind dressing up as a boy. I'd be really careful, mum. Please" Ginny pleaded.
"I am in no place to decide. Ask your father" Molly shook her head as she returned to wash her dishes.
"Dad" Ginny said as she sat down beside her father on the couch.
"Yes, my little princess?" Arthur asked.
"Dad, I know this might sound really crazy, but I wish to study magic in Durmstrang and play on the Eagles team. Please let me go" Ginny mustered all her courage and spoke.
"I don't know, my sweetheart. It is a pretty absurd idea. You'd have to dress up as a boy and act like a boy and it's really dangerous too. Why the sudden idea?" Arthur asked completely puzzled.
"I was watching the Eagles play on the wizavision and I figured I'd really love to play on such a wonderful team. I'd be really careful, dad. I promise" Ginny pleaded.
"Well, if your mother has nothing to say about it, I will say nothing as well. I'd be very proud to see my daughter being featured as one of the best players in quidditch history. Just be careful" Arthur smiled at Ginny.
"You what?" Ron yelled.
"I'm attending Durmstrang. I might be playing against you in the upcoming interschools quidditch championship" Ginny repeated herself.
"I know, I heard you, but....but...you're a girl, you can't just walk into Durmstrang, that's a boy's school, besides it's the top wizarding school in the wizarding world, it's not easy to enter" Ron stammered.
"Just because my dear brothers weren't good enough to enter Durmstrang, doesn't mean your dear little sister, that's me, can't enter as well. Don't forget, I learnt to fly the broom when I was a wee 2 year old toddler, even Bill and Charlie only picked it up at 5, you got it at 6, Percy 8 and even Fred and George only managed it at 4. If anyone was the wizarding genius in our house, it's me" Ginny said as she poked her brother on his chest.
"I am going to sit for the Durmstrang entrance examination and enter Durmstrang, and none of you can stop me" Ginny said firmly before she exited her brother's room, leaving the latter totally dumbfounded and rooted on the spot.
"Mum, I need a boy's name in order to sit for Durmstrang's entrance examination. Do you think you can come up with a nice one?" Ginny asked her mother as she filled in the application form for Durmstrang.
"That's an easy task" Molly said with a smile, prompting Ginny to look at her.
"Well you see, my dear. While I was having you, I half expected you were a boy, so I thought of a really nice name for you. But when I realized you were a girl, I had it changed to Ginevra" Molly explained.
"So, what was my name supposed to be, mum?" Ginny asked with a grin.
"Xavier Weasley" Molly grinned.
"Xavier. Sounds really unique. How did it come about, mum? What does it mean?" Ginny asked.
"Xavier is and Arabic word, it means Bright one. You see, my dear, my first two babies were Bill and Charlie, almost starting off the alphabets with their B and C, then I had Percy, who was a P. Then Fred and George with F and G, and finally Ronald with R. So I figured I wanted a name that starts with a letter that almost ends the alphabets because you are the last of my little ones. So X for Xavier it is" Molly explained.
"Xavier Weasley" Ginny muttered as she wrote it in her application form.
Dear Mr Weasley
We are please to inform you that you have passed our entrance examination and have been enrolled into Durmstrang School of Magic. Please note that we have attached a list of the required schoolbooks, apparatus and stationery, as well as uniforms, which can be found at Diagon Alley, and your portkey number for our reference when you arrive at Bramble Woods on 1st of September at 10 o'clock sharp in the morning. We look forward to seeing you in our school.
Lucius Malfoy
Headmaster
Durmstrang School of Magic
"That's it? You got in? Just like that? Merlin, my sister's in the top wizarding school" Ron exclaimed.
"Calm down big brother. I've got lots of things to do, and I need your help" Ginny said with a smile.
"Shoot. I'm all ears" Ron said as he saluted his sister.
"Stop treating me like I'm Merlin himself. First, I need to get rid of my long hair, then I'd need to do something about my figure," Ginny paused to survey herself in the mirror, "then, I'd need to learn how to act like boys"
"You'd better get mum to do your hair, she always does ours. About your figure, you could wear something tight to cover your growth spurt, that you'd have to do it yourself. As for the last thing, I could help" Ron grinned.
So for the next few days, Ginny spent her time getting clothes from her brothers and altering them to fit her. She also bought several tight vests to hide her figure, and spent countless hours trying to act like a boy with her brothers to supervise her.
1st September came too soon for Ginny. She'd barely learnt how to strut like a boy. Well, maybe not that bad, but she was still feeling rather nervous. Her hair was a little long for a boy and she had the look of the fragile boy who could break with just a little touch. But nevertheless, she was well trained enough to hide that fact that she wasn't a boy.
Stepping into Bramble Woods with her mother (her father had taken her brothers to King's Cross Station), she saw boys heading towards the various trees and disappearing into them. Craning her neck, she managed to catch a glimpse of Draco Malfoy laughing with Harry Potter at one corner, before entering their respective trees.
"I'll be off then, mum. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself" Ginny said as she headed off to her tree.
"Bye, sweety. Take care" Molly called out as she watched her youngest daughter, I mean, son, Xavier Weasley disappear through the portkey.
That is how Ginny Weasley, or should I say Xavier Weasley entered Durmstrang School of Magic.
