The Forbidden Union

Chapter 1

Ginny Weasley pushed her trolley through the barrier of platform 9 ¾ . She was excited to start a fresh new year. This year she was starting her 5th year at Hogwarts and she was going to be a different Ginny.

She wanted to be more outgoing and try to make some friends of her own. For the previous 4 years Ginny had followed Harry Potter (The Boy Who Lived) and his two side kicks Hermione Granger ( Little Miss Know It All) and her older brother Ron Weasley around everywhere. Over the summer she had a lot of time to be by herself since her brother and his friends were avoiding her at all costs. During this time she realized it was time to let go of her dreams of being Harry's girlfriend and stop following 'the dream team' around. It was time to make her own friends. This year she was going to surprise everyone.

"Come on Ginny! Stop daydreaming. Your going to miss the train just standing here!" Her mother yelled and pulled her along by her robes towards the train.

"Alright! Stop pulling me." she sighed as she still felt her mom pulling her along. Ginny stopped dead in her tracks and looked at her mother. "I think I'm perfectly capable of getting myself on the train this year, mum."

Mrs. Weasley looked at her daughter with surprise. "Sorry Gin. Its just that…" she looked over her daughter and remembered Ginny's first time riding the train. "Your growing up so fast. Pretty soon you'll all grown up and won't need me anymore." her mother said trying to hold back the tears.

Ginny nodded trying to understand where her mother was coming from. "Its alright mum, but I better get going before the train leaves with out me. I'll owl you when I get settled into school." Ginny embraced her mother in a hug, kissed her on the cheek and started her way to the train. Before Ginny boarded the train she turned back around to where her mother was standing. "Bye mum." she waved and boarded the train.

As Ginny walked down the long corridor of the train she looked inside each compartment to find an empty one to sit in. "God I hope Ron doesn't spot me and try to invite me to sit with him again this year." she thought to herself sighing. As she passed by compartments she heard students chatting about how their summer was, who they dated and the latest gossip. She rolled her eyes as she thought about how uneventful and boring her summer had been, but smiled when she thought that maybe next summer will be more fun if all goes as planned this year. Finally, after walking down more the half the train she came across an empty compartment . She went inside, closed the door and looked out the window waiting for the train to start moving.

"Well, well, well. What have we got here." came the cold voice of none other than Draco Malfoy.

Ginny looked over to the door at the sound of his voice and rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Malfoy? Shouldn't you be off snogging that horrid girl who is always hanging on you arm?" she asked calmly. There was no way she was going to let him ruin her new year for her.

Draco let his eyes wonder over Ginny's body. She had definitely filled out in all the right places this year. To his surprise she wasn't actually all that bad looking. Noticing that he was still staring at her Draco quickly smirked at her. "Well I want you out of this compartment. All the rest are full and I don't want to be bothered."

Ginny smirked back at him with a smirk that could rival his own. "You've got to be kidding me Malfoy." she faked a laugh. "Let me get this straight. You want me to leave this compartment and go squeeze myself into an already full compartment with people I don't even know." she looked at him coldly. "Just so you can stay in here by yourself."

Draco nodded his head smiling. "Well yes. That's about the gist of it."

At this point all hope of Ginny controlling her temper just flew out the compartment. "Are you mad!" she practically yelled at him. "I'm not just going to walk out of here just because the all powerful Draco Malfoy tells me to." she stood up in front of him and poked him in the chest. "If you want so much privacy then why don't you go find a bathroom to sit in for the whole train ride, because I'm not leaving."

At that very second the dream team happened to be walking by the compartment and heard her yelling at someone. Seeing that they always have to get themselves involved in her business they took it upon themselves to come inside. "What the hell did you do to my sister you damn ferret!" Ron yelled in anger while pushing Draco up against the window.

"Stop it Ron!" Ginny yelled at him trying to pulled her brother off of Draco, but he ignored her and kept on yelled at Draco.

"If I ever see you near my sister again I'll hex you into oblivion!" he yelled and held his grip on Draco tighter.

Using all the Strength Draco had he pushed Ron off him and looked over at Ginny who was shooting her brother death glares. He then focused his attention on Ron. "I didn't do anything to your sister!" he glanced back over at Ginny then back at Ron smirking. "Like anyone would want to anyway."

After hearing that, Ginny turned around and slapped Draco across the face. "Don't you ever say anything like that about me again you ferret." She then looked over at Ron who was laughing at her outburst on Draco and Glared at him. "And you Ronald Weasley. Don't you ever do that to me again! No one asked you to come in here like a raving maniac and play Harry Potter." she yelled at him.

"I was only trying to protect you, Gin." he looked at Draco. "Who knows what this son of a death eater would have done to you."

Ginny looked back at Draco who looked like he was about to kill Ron for saying that about his father and moved aside. Within seconds Draco's fist connected with Ron jaw. "If you know what is good for you, Weasley. You will keep that big mouth of yours closed."

Ginny moved back in front of Ron and nodded at Draco's last comment. "I couldn't have said that better, Malfoy." she put her hands on her hips looked her brother in the eye. "I don't need your protection Ron. I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself. Now get out of here." She then turned her back on Ron and looked out the window trying to regain her composure again.

"But Gin…" Ron and Hermione said in unison. "He was only trying to…" Harry added in only to be cut off by Ginny's voice. "Get out!" Ginny said without even turning around to look at them.

Ron, Harry and Hermione looked at Ginny's back one last time and left the compartment closing the door behind them.

"Gin…uh, I mean Weasley." Draco said and ran his hand through his hair.

Ginny turned around and looked at him. "Don't." she said and sat back down looking out the window.

Draco sat down across from her and studied this new Ginny Weasley. "What has got into her?" he thought to himself. "This is definitely an improvement from the old Ginny. I could get used to her being like this." he smirked and wondered how the hell she was ever placed into that horrid Gryffindor house in the first place. "Must have been a mistake." he thought. "She should have been in Slytherin. Definitely in Slytherin."

Draco thought about the events that had just taken place in this compartment and smirked. "This is going to be a very interesting year." he thought to himself without taking his eyes off her. "Very interesting indeed."
