A/N- there really isn't much to say. I'm attempting to write, and here is my work in progress. Hope someone enjoys it!
Disclamer- I don't own anything, I just play with storylines like puppets.

"...And those are the unforgivable curses.They should never be used on anyone, because they are unforgivable, and illegal." Professor McGonnagal finished up.
"For your homework tonight, six pages of parchment on everything we have been over today.Class dismissed."
Ginny gathered her things and went to the teachers desk.
"You want homework on everything? What form are you asking? Definitions or paragraph form?" She asked intelligently.
"Definition form will do, Weasley."
"Ok." She nodded and headed off to lunch.
Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini were sitting in the Great Hall at lunchtime, holding a whispered arguement.
"It's not right... I dont wanna do it... I hate father..."
" Musn't disobey...Pretend... Hate it too... "
They rushed through their lunch so they could go to the slytherin common room to continue the conversation. They got up from the table and walked towards the Entrance Hall when they bumped into something.
"Hey! Watch where your going you muggle lover. I dont want your filth touching me." said Malfoy. Ginny looked up at him with wide eyes and hurried along to go eat. Slytherins one way, Gryffindors the other, some things will never change. Ginny sat down at the Gryffindor table, listening to Harry, Ron and Hermione talk. They did completly trust her now, but she still felt left out. They had each other, she had no one, as always. Sometimes they would speak to her, but it wasn't as though they actually cared what she thought- They were just trying to be nice, and she knew it. Usually she just read a book or sat there in silence. Today was a silent day, as she didnt have any reading to do for homework.
"And can you believe him? He fell for it! I got the book. Such a guliable teacher." Hermione fussed. Ginny knew she was talking about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Carrol.
"I guess he could tell I was a good student, and actully thought I needed to do research on vampires. As if I dont already know enough about them. Anyways, it has the clues we were looking for, here." She showed them a particular spot in the book. Ginny was tired of listening to Hermione not-so-hiddenly brag, so she cleared her spot and decided to walk the grounds.She did this often, although there was never really anything new to see, it did relax her. She took a spot by the lake under a tree and stared off into space.She wondered what to do with her life, as she was tired of being plain old Ginny. She was tired of hiding her body, tired of being "shy," tired of being Ron's little sister, tired of not having a life, or a boyfriend for that matter.It was about time she took matters into her own hands and made herself a whole new person. She wasnt sure how, but she was gonna do it.
--------------------------------------------------------
"And done!" She said to no one in particular. She looked in the mirror, and liked what she saw. She sewed things tighter, and shorter. She looked at the very least, decent. She also cut her hair to a little past her shoulders, and it had a nice wave.Shen she put on some makeup she got from her brothers, Fred and George, for Christmas. She smiled at her reflection and was happy with what she saw, so atleast she FELT better.
"Time for the big debut." She said out loud.
She walked out of her dorm, and out of the portrait hole. Down to the entrance hall she went, anticipationg the look on her brother's and "friends" faces.
"Oh My God! Ginny! You... Wow... You got a haircut! Your clothes! You look great!" said Hermione. She caught up with Ginny right before she went into the great hall.
"I like it. Did you do it yourself?" She went on.
"Yea..." Ginny started to blush, and then remembered she wasnt going to be shy anymore and said it again, more bold this time.
"Yea, I did it myself." She smiled, and it felt good. She was really proud, and hoped everyone else liked it as much as her and Hermione did.She walked in, and sat at her usual spot. She was showered with complements from all the Gryffindors.
"Wow! You look great Ginny!"
"I absolutely love your hair. Where did you get it done?"
"Ooo... Nice robes, are they new?"
Ginnys eyes were sparkling. She loved the attention. The best part was the look in Seamus' eyes... Like he liked her! She was ecstatic.Not that she liked Seamus, but she liked being liked.She awnsered everyone's questions while eating. She couldnt wait to see what other changes awaited her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She thinks she is everything now that she looks different. I always knew the Weasley's were stuck up snobs. Atleast, she is anyways. Hrrrmmph. She'll get it comming to her if she thinks she is gonna steal Seamus away from me."
Ginny heard this as she woke up and rolled over. She couldn't quite figure out who said it, but it really didn't matter.
" Oh shut up. I can't steal him anyways, not like I'd want to after you had him. And besides that, if Seamus loved you so much, he wouldn't be looking at me!" She shouted into the dorm. Everyone got silent, and she laughed. They all looked at her before she left, grabbing her stuff and going to the bathrooms to change. She prefered to surprise people with what she was wearing. Today she chose loose, black, mens shorts with lots of pockets. They went down to her knees. Then she put on a green tank top, with a low cut black sweater to show the shirt underneath. She put her robes on over that, and went to the mirror. Little bit of lip gloss, little bit of mascara, some eyeliner on the bottom, and irredescent green eyeshadow. Kinda an olive color. It made her eyes look great, and thats all that counts. She hurriedly grabbed her books and went to the Great Hall.
Ginny sat at breakfast, thinking and smirking at the guys looking at her. The Trio kept trying to ger her attention but she wasn't quite catching what they were saying to her.
" ... And now everyone is talking about you. Ginny? Ginny...? GINEVRA!" Ron shook her.
"Huh? What? Oh... Right. Yea... I agree with Harry." She nodded distractedly. She had noticed Draco Malfoy staring at her and she was trying her best to ignore him and pretend she wasn't paying attention to him but secretly it irked her, having him watch her.
"Ginny dear, we didn't ask who you agreed with. Whats wrong with you? Bloody hell you've been so odd lately. Maybe Fred and George DID Poison your lipgloss..." Ron shook his head.
"Well whatever you say Gin. Time for classes, you comming?... Ginny? Classes? ...Fine, if you're late, don't blame me." The Trio gathered their books and headed off. Ginny finally realized that no one was talking to her and she snapped back to reality as Malfoy got up and left the Hall. She grabbed her books also and ran to class, the whole way thinking that she felt good.
-----------------------------------------------
Herbology was so boring. she hated that class. The only fun part was that her partner was Colin, who was afraid of "Breaking a nail!" so they always had fun. They would goof off and have fun, but also get their work done because they both excelled in the subject. But today Colin was absent, and it was note taking day. How she loathed being alone, and taking notes. Atleast with Colin around she had someone to talk too. But noooo, he had to go land himself in the hospital wing from falling for Fred and George's Sweets. Ugh, so not fair. So she was all alone, to scribble her notes as fast as possible. As soon as she finished, she would show them to Professor Sprout and then be released. Maybe she would bring Colin his brush and mirror so he could look good while in the hospital...
"Hi Ginny." A girl in her year that she didnt know sat down next to her.
"Uh Hi." Ginny glanced at her quickly and looked back down at her notes.
"I know it's alot to ask, but could you give me a makeover like yours?" The girl asked in a rush.
"uh... I'm flattered and all, that you like my so-called makeover... But I really didn't do anything special. Sewed my clothes, cut my hair different, and decided to wear makeup. Nothing you couldn't do on your own. And I'm done with my notes now, so I gotta go!" Ginny closed her books and gathered her papers, and started for the teachers desk.
"Does this look right Professor Sprout?" She asked.
"Looks fine to me, go on ahead with your day. Oh and tell Colin I wish him well." She replied.
" Okay I Will. Good day Professor." She walked off back to her dorm and grabbed Colin's stuff for him. As she was heading out, she ran into Harry.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Bringing Colin some of his stuff?" She replied.
"Oh. I'll come with you." He joined her at her side, as she rolled her eyes thinking to herself 'He just can't get over me can he?' and shook her head.
"So how was your day?" She asked politely
"Just fine, and yours?"
"Normal. Some girl I don't even know asked me to give her a makeoover; I just kinda laughed a little and ran" She giggled.
" Nice." He laughed too.
"Yea. And since Colin was missing from class, he couldn't save me. So I decided to save him instead and bring him a brush and mirror so he can atleast feel decent while stuck with that stomach problem." They had arrived at the hospital wing by then, and she pushed open the door.
"Thanks for walking me... But Colin can only have one visitor. So I'll see you later?" She asked.
"Yea and Ginny?" He said heistantly.
"Yea?"
"I was wondering if you... Nevermind."
"Uh... Ok. Bye Harry." She turned around and walked to Colin.
"Oh. My. God. Harry Just about asked me out again. I know it." She sat down on Colin's bed.
"Well he can ask me out ANYTIME!" He winked, and they laughed together.
"I brought you your mirror and brush so you wouldn't feel too bad." She handed them over, and he put them on his bedside.
"Thanks, I Am getting released tomorrow morning though."
"Oh. Well I missed you. And Professor Sprout says Hi, and feel better."
"Thanks. I'm actually tired though, so I'm going to bed. Come back and visit after dinner okay?"
"Okay. Love ya Colin." She hugged him and walked back to her common room, colapsing on the bed, glad it was Friday.
