A/n: First Fanfic by the way. Read and review. PLZ!!! See if you can spot a quote from the Lion King.
Chapter 1
The sun was shining through the second floor window on the east wing of the manor. In the
room, was a young man sleeping on a king sized bed, beneath cotton sheets. The room was
painted black with green and silver lining. The young man had blond hair, cut short, and had a
very muscular body. There was a popping nose and a small house-elf appeared. He was
wearing something that looked like a very old tattered pillow case. The house-elf looked
over at the young master and said,
"Mmm...Master Malfoy? Your mother request's your presence in the dining room
immediately." The boy grumbled and turned over onto his stomach. The house-elf
walked over to the sleeping boy and peered over the bed. He poked the boy and Draco Malfoy
jumped out of his bed.
"Who the hell is there?" Draco shouted. The house-elf spoke again, this time quivering
with fear.
"Master Draco. Your mother is requesting that you join her for breakfast in the dining
room. She is also asking me to tell you to that you are to go shopping for school supplies."
Draco glanced down at the house-elf and sneered. He dismissed him and went to go take his
shower. After his shower, he put on a black pair of black slacks, a silver silk shirt, and his Gucci
made shoes. Draco grabbed his summer robe and then went downstairs. He descended down
the grand staircase and entered the front hall. Draco took a left and came to the kitchen. He
then went straight towards the dining room. Draco entered the dining room and spotted his
mother, Narissica Malfoy, sitting on the other end of the table. She never sat on the other end of
the table after the death of Lucius Malfoy, her husband and Draco's father. Draco walked over
to where his mother sat and bent over to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Draco, darling, sit." Mrs. Malfoy pointed to the seat next to her and Draco sat next to his
mother. The house-elves came in with their breakfast, and the Malfoy's ate their breakfast in
silence.
Meanwhile a few miles further up the road, Virginia Weasley, was being awakened by her five-
year-old niece, Emily.
"Ninny. Wakey up. Go shoppy today." Ginny groaned and rolled over onto her side.
Emily climbed upon the bed and started jumping up and down.
"Okay, okay...I'm up, I'm up." Ginny got up and Emily bounded down the stairs of their
home, The Burrow. Ginny went into her washroom and took a shower. She came out all nice
and squeaky clean. (a/n: was really tempted to say that. It was funny in my mind.) Ginny
was fully dressed in a pair of low rise jeans and a black shirt. She had on a belt that said 'Devil'.
Ginny went over to her vanity and brushed her long auburn hair. She put it up in a messy bun,
and then went downstairs. Her mother, Molly Weasley, greeted her downstairs, and said,
"Oh good your up. Go help Sam in the kitchen. She is in the midst of making waffles."
Ginny nodded, and went into the kitchen. She spotted Emily playing with her rabbit. Ginny
walked over to the stove and helped Samantha, Bill's new wife, cook breakfast. Ginny set the
table and then remembered that she had left her bedroom door open. Ginny rushed upstairs to
close the door. Ginny then went back downstairs. On her way down she bumped into Harry
Potter.
"Oh, sorry Harry. Didn't see you." Ginny went back into the kitchen leaving behind a
very bewildered Harry standing on the stairs. Ron, Ginny's youngest brother, came downstairs
and said,
"Oy Harry! Are you coming or what?" Harry came to his sense's and followed Ron
into the kitchen. They sat down at the table, and Ron started stuffing his face with food.
He had a half-chewed biscuit sticking out of his mouth. Ginny giggled, and Harry and Hermione
Granger looked at her.
"What!?" Ginny asked.
"Umm...nothing," Harry replied, blushing. Hermione on the other hand said,
"You've changed." Ginny nodded and continued her breakfast. After they
were done, Mrs. Weasley sent them upstairs to change and get ready for their trip to Diagon
Alley. Ginny went upstairs to grab her purse and then came downstairs. She went into the
living room and stood by the fireplace. Ginny waited for everyone else to arrive and then took
a pinch of floo powder. She tossed it into the fireplace, stepped into the fire and shouted,
"Diagon Alley." Ginny landed just outside of Gringotts, the wizarding bank, and dusted
herself off. She waited for the others. Once they arrived, Mrs. Weasley gave Ron and Ginny
enough money for their school supplies. Ginny had worked for muggles by babysitting their kids,
so she had extra money. She went inside Gringotts, with Hermione to exchange their muggle
money for wizarding money. They waited in line until the next Goblin was available.
"Next Please," a goblin said looking at Hermione and Ginny. They went forward and
Hermione spoke.
"May I exchange my money for wizarding money please?" The goblin held out his
hand, and Hermione placed 350 pounds into his hand. He then handed the money to
another goblin, and he went to a vault to exchange the money. The goblin at the counter
looked at Ginny and said,
"And how may I help you?" Ginny replied,
"Can I exchange my money as well?" The goblin held out his hand and Ginny placed 250
pounds into the goblins hand. When they both got their money, they headed outside and split
up. Ginny headed towards Madame Malkins Robes for All Occasions, and Hermione headed
towards Flourish and Blotts.
Ginny went inside of the store and was greeted by Madame Malkin.
"Good morning dear. Shopping for your dress robe I presume?" Ginny nodded her
head and smiled. She headed to the back of the store where all the dresses were, and looked
at them. Ginny spotted one lying beneath a pile of clothes that were on the floor. She bent over
and picked it up. The dress was emerald green and had a low neckline. Ginny went over to the
dressing room's and tried it on. While putting the dress on, she heard the small bell ring, and
someone walked in. Madame Malkin greeted them. Ginny opened the door and stepped out.
She stood in front of a tall mirror and twirled around. As she was spinning she felt a pair of eyes
watching her. Harry stood back as he watched Ginny twirl in her dress. 'How odd that she
chooses the color of slytherin. But it does look beautiful on her,' Harry thought. Ginny
stopped twirling around and started looking for the person that was watching her. Harry saw this
and moved further away. Ginny shrugged her shoulders when she couldn't find anyone. She
went back inside the dressing room and changed back into her jeans and shirt. Ginny looked for
some shoes that would match her dress. She found a pair of silver strap heels and looked for her
size. Ginny then looked for some new school robes, as her old ones were way too small for her.
She grabbed some and then headed over to the counter to pay for her stuff. Ginny exited the
store and headed for Flourish and Blotts.
Back inside Madame Malkins, Harry was hit with reality. 'She sure has changed. She has
Definitely gotten prettier, though she wasn't bad looking before, but still. She has
changed.' Harry smiled and continued looking for his robes.
Draco was with his mother in Forzieri, an expensive store. He was standing on a platform getting
his measurements taken by Mr. Poperille, his tailor. As soon as Mr. Poperille was done taking
Draco's measurements, Draco stepped down from the platform and went over to choose a
pattern for his tuxedo. Draco found one that was all black, and handed it to Mr. Poperille.
Draco's mother smiled at his choice and then told the tailor where to deliver the suit. Draco and
his mother walked out of Forzieri and headed to Flourish and Blotts to pick up his Sixth year
books.
Ginny walked down the Potion's aisle looking for her new potion's book, Advanced Potion's
by Mariotle Stewer. As she went down the aisle, she wasn't watching where she was going
and bumped into Hermione.
"Hey 'Mione. Could you help me find this book? I can't seem to find it anywhere's."
Hermione nodded and looked at the book Ginny was looking for. She gasped as she read
the title.
"How!? How did YOU get into advanced potions?" Ginny shrugged her shoulders
not really wanting to explain how she got in. Hermione looked at Ginny with a new look.
'At least one of the Weasley's has their brains in the right place,' Hermione thought as she
handed the book to Ginny. Ginny thanked her and went to go find her other books. As soon as
Ginny was done with her school supply shopping, she went to Eeylops Owl Emporium, to buy a
Owl. Ginny entered the small store and was hit with the smell of owl dung. She was greeted by
a small, cheerful wizard. He had gray hair, and was starting to bald.
"How may I help you deary," the wizard asked.
"I am just looking for now," Ginny replied. She looked around. A bunch of owl cages
were all over the place. Owls were hooting. Ginny spotted a black owl at the corner of her eye
and turned towards it. The owl had silver eyes and had red spots on the underside of its belly.
"Sir? May I take a closer look at that black one?" The wizard levitated the bird down,
and Ginny peered into the cage. The black owl was small. He glanced into Ginny's eyes and
she was enchanted by them. Ginny soon saw herself looking through the owl's eyes and asked
the wizard,
"How much?" The wizard looked at Ginny as if she was a raging lunatic asking for
directions.
"Are you sure you want this owl? They can be very dangerous, but if handled
correctly they make very loyal pets." Ginny nodded.
"Well if you are so sure, that will be 10 galleons, including the cage and some rats. The
owl will only eat live rats and snakes, and sometimes bugs as well." Ginny handed the wizard
the money and walked out of the Emporium with her new pet. She met Ron and Harry at
Quality Qudditch Supplies. They were looking at the new broom, a Silverbolt 5000. Ginny
Walked up behind them and asked,
"Is that the new broom?" Harry nodded his head, not taking his eyes off of the broom.
Hermione had walked over to them and as she watched the scene she chuckled and said,
"Boy's will always be boys." Ginny laughed and responded,
"Do you want to go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and get some ice cream? I
am in the mood for something pepperminty." Hermione nodded and watched as Ginny picked
up her parcels. Ginny slung her bags over her shoulder and then picked up her owl cage.
Hermione starred at the owl.
"Uh...Gin. You do know what kind of owl that is right?"
"Of course. Do you think that I am stupid enough to buy something that I have no
knowledge of? I am not my brother's you know. I DO have a brain," Ginny said
emphasizing the do. Hermione looked flabbergasted. 'Wow she has courage. I see why she
was put into Gryffindor.' Ginny walked away and headed towards the ice- cream parlor.
There she ordered a mint chocolate chip float and found a small table that was in a secluded
area. She wanted to be alone to think things threw. In the distance, Ginny heard a scream. A big
black panther came bounding down the alley. Woman, children and wizards were jumping out of
the big cat's way. The panther was headed right towards Ginny. Before anyone could warn her,
the panther pounced on her. Ginny fell to the ground with a thud. She opened her eye's and was
starring into silver one's. Ginny tried to get up, but the panther was sitting one her. Mentally
Ginny asked the panther, 'Can you please get off of me so I can get up?' Ginny was shocked
to see the panther comply, with a slight nod of it's head, the large cat got off and sat down next
to her and the owl. Ginny looked at her owl, who was quietly dozing, taking no notice of the
panther that happened to be sitting next to it. 'How odd.' Then she looked at the panther and
noticed the same red markings on it that the owl had. 'Very odd indeed.' Ginny held out her
hand cautiously and was about to take a step forward, when out of nowhere, Ron appeared.
He quickly pushed her out of the way, while pulling out his wand. He was about to hex the
cat, when Ginny yelled out,
"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY! DON'T YOU DARE HEX THAT PANTHER!" Ron
looked at her as if she was insane.
"Did I hear you correctly? Don't hex it? And why the Hell not?"
"I don't have to explain to you why. Just go back to you're own business and leave me
alone. That panther has done no harm to anyone nor anything." As she said this, the panther
laid down and gave a big yawn. The young witches and wizards, watching the scene, laughed.
"See, he is nothing but a big pussy cat. You just hate cats because Crookshanks bit
you." Ron's ears turned red, as everyone laughed some more. Ron did an about face, mumbling
something about getting even. Ginny went to the cat and started petting it. The watchers soon
went about their business. Ginny mentally asked the panther, 'What is your name?' The
panther responded, 'Tuebor.' Ginny smiled. 'Why did you come here?' 'Bird called me. Bird
calls, you go, say's master.' 'Who is your master?' 'You are now.' 'Oh okay. Well what
did the bird want?' The owl hooted. Ginny looked at it then apologized. 'I am sorry. I had
forgotten about you. What is your name?' 'Dueir' 'Well Dueir, why did you call Tuebor to
you?' 'So you could meet him. He is your guardian. You will have a link to him if you ever
get into trouble. He will find you and help you or go for help.' 'Oh.' Tuebor then
disappeared and Ginny collected her things. She walked to Gringotts alone. Ginny then let Dueir
our of his cage and told him to go to the Burrow after he was done hunting. The small bird took
off and Ginny was left waiting for the others alone. Mrs. Weasley came running hysterically
towards Ginny.
"Ginny dear, are you okay? Ron told me you were attacked by a panther." Mrs.
Weasley checked over Ginny, against her will and then was pulled into a gigantic hug.
Ron, Harry and Hermione arrived soon after and they all flooed back to the Burrow. Ginny
was greeted by Emily, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap. Ginny said hello and
then went upstairs. Inside her room, Ginny placed all of her school stuff onto her bed. She
set the empty owl cage on a chair. Ginny had yet to pack her trunk for school and so she
spent the rest of her time packing. She was called down for dinner. Ginny went downstairs
and was greeted by her father, Arthur Weasley, who had just arrived from the ministry.
"Why hello dear. How was your day?" Mr. Weasley asked after planting a kiss on his
daughters forehead.
"It was fun. I got a new owl." Arthur just nodded his head. He was down and piled
food up onto his plate. Ginny grabbed some food and hurriedly ate it. She still had a bunch of
packing to do. Ginny quickly finished her dinner and rushed upstairs. At the top of the stairs, she
was greeted by her twin brothers, Fred and George, or as they like to call themselves,
Gred and Forge.
"Gin, oh sweet sister of ours. How are you this fine, fine evening?" Ginny started
backing away from them, not wanting to become a Guinea pig for one of their new experiments.
"I am okay, now if you can kindly find someone else to test your atrociously stupid
experiments on, I still have a bunch of packing to do." George and Fred grinned evilly and then
lunged at Ginny. She was too quick for them. Ginny jumped out of the way and pushed them
down the stairs. She then headed to her room to finish her packing. As she was packing,
Hermione came in and chatted with Ginny.
"Done packing?" Ginny nodded and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just tired, that's all. I am going to go to bed. G' night 'Mione."
"Goodnight Gin." Hermione got up and left. Ginny changed into her nightgown
and brushed her teeth. She heard a tapping on her window and opened it up to fin her owl
waiting outside. He had a small parcel tied to his leg and a note. Ginny untied the parcel and
note, and set Dueir in his cage. 'How odd. I wasn't expecting a note or parcel from anyone.'
Ginny cautiously opened the note and read,
To whom ever bought the bird,
There is many mystery's in our world and this is only one of them. The bird chose you and you
did not choose the bird. Inside the attached parcel you will find a charmed necklace. It has a
locator for your animals. Yes you read me correctly, animals. As in a bunch. All will resemble
the bird in color and eyes as well. I cannot tell you why the bird chose you, you must figure it
out as I had to do. This is a very rare bird. Take care of it. I will meet you during the school
year. I do know who you are and everything about you. Scary, yes, but you MUST have
trust in me. Otherwise you may not survive what is to come. Oh dear, I've said too much.
I will write you in a few weeks time to see how you are coming along. Goodnight dear.
Your new best friend
Ginny folded the letter up and placed it inside her satchel. Then she looked at the small
parcel. She picked it up and opened it up. Ginny unwrapped the tissue paper and
gasped from the shock. In her hand was the most beautiful, expensivest necklace that she
had ever laid eyes on, yet own. Attached to the gold chain was a small dragon made out of
silver. Its eyes were emerald and it had a silver tongue. The dragon was laying around a small
gold fox that had ruby red eyes. The dragon looked as if it was guarding he small fox against
something. Ginny put the necklace on and felt the charm's take effect. Ginny fell asleep and
had a dream about a dragon and fox. In the middle of the night the panther returned and settled
down onto the floor at the foot of Ginny's bed.
