Plot Summary: Ginny Weasley is in her 5th year at Hogwarts. Two months into term she begins receiving anonymous love letters.
Chapter one: Back to Hogwarts.
"Ginny! Hurry up dear, Ron's already ready, which is a first. And if you don't hurry you and your brother will miss the train!" Mrs. Weasley yelled upstairs at Ginny.
"Coming, Mother!" Ginny replied.
Ginny Weasley was 15 years old and ready for a new term at Hogwarts.
Taking a final glance in the mirror and seeing, somewhat to her surprise, someone beautiful. Ginny had filled out nicely over the summer. Her hair had grown and was now midway down her back and still a deep red. She was still a little shorter that most of the girls in her year, other than that she liked what she saw, except for two things, her eyes and her tan. She had brown eyes right now, but she wanted green eyes like Amy Lee of Evanescence (her favorite band on WWN). And her tan… non-existent. She had white skin like a porcelain doll. And someone would probably mistake her for one if she stood still long enough.
"GINNY! NOW!" Her mother was getting pissed. Not a good thing.
"Moving mum." Ginny picked up her trunk and went downstairs as fast as she could.
"Good, you look lovely dear," her mother gave her a big hug. "Now off to platform 9 & 3/4."
(On the Hogwarts Express.)
"Ginny! Hey hon!" Her best friend Katrina Murphy was calling from a compartment she was sharing with their friend Colin Creevy and Kat's boyfriend, Brendan Tyler.
"Hey guys!" Ginny entered the compartment and sat down next to her friend.
Kat was a normal girl except for the fact that she was originally from America, she ran away to escape the abuse and neglect she got when she was back home opting to live at her favorite aunt's house in Hounslow with her maternal Grandmother who was awesome. Kat's parents had changed since she had moved six years ago, they even invited her back to thestates. But she loved her friends and boyfriend too much.
She had an accent she said was from Baltimore, things like "hon", "y'all" and "haul ass" were used frequently to show she was different. Kat had the most amazing eyes Ginny had ever seen before. They were green with specks of orange and the color of the Caribbean waters all in one.
Kat also had a strong personality. She thought it had to do with Kat maturing at an early age to have the strength to fly to another country to get away from her family. Her aunt's family was in the Order and her cousin, who was like a brother to her, was killed fighting against Voldemort over the summer. Kat didn't show it but Ginny knew that she was depressed because there was less of a sparkle in her eyes but they still had a certain fire in them.
"So, Ginny, what books have you read this summer?" Kat was always interested in what happened over her friend's summers being the biggest gossip in all of Hogwarts.
"Ooh! I've read some good ones!" Ginny was an avid bookworm. More so than Hermione, this was hard to do. But there was a dark side to the reading. This summer she had read a book about a boy a year older than her who was from an evil family. They were powerful and rich, but horrible, mean, cruel people. And she had fallen in love with the main character, who was a great person, rebelling quietly against his father and setting his mother free, who had been trapped under his father's rule. Ginny hated this feeling. She liked being in love but hated who she was in love with. And deep down she knew whose family this reminded her of, and she shuddered just thinking about it.
"And the plot of this one was really emotional, unlike any of the one's I had read recently and…"
A dark haired dark eyed girl came into their compartment. "Sorry to interrupt. I was doing… something. Anyway, what did I miss?"
"Hey Rebecca! We were just talking about what I had read over the summer. Speaking of hobbies, how's ABBA coming along?"
(A/N: everyone is in Gryffindor btw. :-p)
"Its grood. I requested some songs to be played on WWN this summer and guess what?" Asked Beccs.
"What?" Asked everybody at the same time, an ability they had perfected since second year.
"They actually played Waterloo and Ring, Ring!" Beccs was absolutely giddy with joy.
"That's great Beccs! I still like Gimme, Gimme, Gimme better though." Said Ginny.
(At the back to school Hogwarts feast.)
Hermione and Ron were making out at dinner, again, and Harry was silently pining over Cho, again.
Well anyway, the fab five were all chatting about their adventures over the summer, except for Kat and Brendan who were making out…again. Over all most couples were making out at dinner except for the few different house relationships like Beccs and her boyfriend Richard McMullen in Ravenclaw.
"Ahem!" Dumbledore stood up and got everyone's attention after a few seconds. "As all of you know, the ministry has openly admitted to Voldemort coming to power again." The crowd flinched a little. "Some of you students were not around the last time this happened and consider yourselves lucky. But I warn you all, do not go out looking for him." He gave a warning glance at the Gryffindor table.
"On a happier note, we are awarding a prize to the people with the highest grades of their year, house and gender. For the Girls it is 5th year Gryffindor. And for the boys it is 6th year Slytherin. You will each receive your own
rooms this term. Congratulations and keep up the good work. With that I say goodnight and may this year be a great and safe year."
"How the bloody hell did Malfoy and his lot get good enough grades to get their own rooms?" Ron exclaimed as they all made their way up to Gryffindor Tower.
"Except for Crabbe and Goyle, the Slytherin boys are almost as smart as me. Not quite, but almost. As for you two… the only reason you're not failing is because I hound you two about studying and homework." Hermione said coolly.
"Yeah… whatever." Harry was still upset about Cho.
"Look Harry, we know you are still upset about Cho. But she's just a girl. And if you haven't noticed, there are many of us out there who are good looking and still single who would drop everything to go out with you! So quit being such a drama queen." Scolded Hermione.
"Aww… is poor little Potter having girl problems again?" Malfoy sneered as they passed him.
"Shove it Malfoy. It's none of your fucking business anyway so leave us alone!" Ron yelled.
"Is this your new job Weasel? Fighting Potters battles for him? Does this mean your family can afford to eat now?"
"Malfoy, why are you such an ass?" Ginny was getting involved in the battle now but really didn't want to for reasons she didn't know.
"You might get some new robes now mini-Weasel. Since you are sticking up for ickle Potter now too."
"Hey Malfoy! Want to become the amazing bouncing wonder ferret again? I can make you that if you are so hell bound on pissing me off." Now it was
getting ugly. Kat never gets into battles. She loathes them.
"I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Or is that phrase too big for your American brain to understand?"
"I know what it means, ferret boy. And you didn't make that up on your own. It's from a muggle movie!" Katrina was getting pissed. You did not want to make fun of where she was from. Ever.
"What crawled up your ass and died Malfoy?" Ginny was getting more embarrassed and she could not for the life of her figure out why.
"Hmm… another muggle saying correct? I bet you got that one from mudblood Granger as well?" Malfoy started smirking and Ron was getting out of Harry and Hermione's grip on him when all of a sudden…
"That's IT!" There was a loud pop and a flash of blue light and Malfoy was yet again the silvery blonde amazing bouncing wonder ferret again, sailing through the air at Kat's control.
"Yay Kat!"
There were many shouts of W00t! W00t! and Yes! Coming out through the roar of laughter.
"I think that's enough Kat." Said Ginny. She still didn't know why she wasn't laughing.
"But Gin, it's just getting good!" And Kat sent Malfoy bouncing over the chandelier with great ease.
"Kat do you want to get in trouble? I am serious. If Snape catches you are his for the taking!" That got Kat's attention. Kat was scared of Snape, more than Neville was. She said Snape reminded her of her father.
"Done." Kat cast the reversal spell and Malfoy was back to normal lying on his back on the stone floor looking up at Kat with such loathing.
"You're lucky that I'm in a good mood today." And with that he stormed off towards the dungeons.
Next on Letters to Ginny…
"Hey Gin? What's that?"
A black owl swooped down in front of her during breakfast and giving her a note.
"Dunno."
I'll try to make it more of a D/G romance next time kk?
