Disclaimer: Anything you recognize from the books isn't mine. A/N: Here's the revamped Chapter 1 I only made some minor changes
Virginia Milstone was the girl every guy wanted and all the girls envied. Yet she also was the Ice Queen at Sandstone High. She kept to herself and told her past to no one. She had, but one friend a petit fair skinned, raven-haired girl named Marcie. Marcie was the Ice Princess. Together they were the most sought after girls in the school and they were also the most unachievable. The two of them also had mysterious qualities about them.
Chapter 1: Songs and Painful Memories
It was two weeks before school ended and the day of Senor Prom. Eighteen-year-old Virginia sat in front of her vanity in a black halter dress with rhinestones making a pattern at the bottom. She had her blood red hair done in a French twist with two curls framing her face. She added a thin line of black eye liner, some white eye shadow making no difference on her pale, pale skin. She also added some black mascara and deep red lipstick. She clasped a chain with a silver snake entwined around an onyx and emerald rose. Virginia grabbed her purse and went down stairs where Marcie was waiting. Virginia grabbed her keys and went outside and climbed into her black Mustang convertible. Marcie opened the door and slid into the other seat.
Virginia and Marcie talked very little during the ten-minute drive to Sandstone. The two arrived and walked into the large cafeteria where the Prom was being held. Virginia snagged a table and was approached by over half the male student population for dance and turned every one of them down with an icy "Sod off," her British accent becoming quite apparent. Half listening to Marcie, Virginia became lost in thoughts of her past. Of the day she left her old life and the wizarding world behind.
. Flashback .
Sixteen-year-old Virginia woke up at the absence of a warm presence laying beside her. She glanced over seeing a note where the love of her life once lay. My Dearest Virginia,
I leave you this note as a final good-bye. I will not be returning for the graduation ceremony in three days. So with my deepest regrets I must leave you.
Your Forever,
Draco
Tears stained Virginia's pale cheeks as she gathered her spare clothes from Draco's room and dashed across their common room to her Head Girl's room (A/N: Ginny was moved up a year). She threw her clothes on the floor and cried her self to sleep.
. End Flashback .
Virginia was pulled out of her thoughts, by Marcie's persistent tapping her on the shoulder. Virginia gradually slipped back into conversation with Marcie who was repeatedly asking her if she was ok. "Gin are you alright?" "I'm fine Marcie" "Are you sure cause you kinda spaced out"? "I'm fine. Quit asking me the same bloody question" "Ok, Ok I'll shut up"
Virginia sat in silence her fingers clasping the necklace. It's been a while since I worn it. She tapped her heel on the floor before checking the clock. She headed towards the back door of the stage. She walked through the door and climbed the stage steps and stood in the shadows until the DJ announced her. "Now we have a special song sung by none other than one of your own classmates."
Virginia slipped her hand around the necklace and whispered, "Hear me," before walking out onto the stage as the music started. (A/N: This song belongs to S Club 7 not me.)
Everybody's got something that they had to leave behind One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time There's no use looking back or wondering How it could be now or might have been Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true Till the day I found you Even thought I pretend that I've moved on You'll always be my baby I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day And I know no matter where life takes me to A part of me will always be with you
Somewhere in my memory I've lost all sense of time And tomorrow can never be cause yesterday is all that fills my mind There's no use looking back or wondering How it should be now or might have been Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I never had a dream come true Till the day that I found you Even though I pretend that I've moved on You'll always be my baby I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day And I know no matter where life takes me to A part of me will always be with you
You'll always be the dream that fills my head Yes you will say you will you know you will oh baby You'll always be the one I know I'll never forget There's no use looking back or wondering Because love it a strange and funny thing No matter how I try I try I just can't say goodbye no, no, no, no
I never had a dream come true Till the day that I found you Even though I pretend that I've moved on You'll always be my baby I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day And I know no matter where life takes me to A part of me will always be with you A part of me will always be with you oooohhh
The room erupted in applause and whistles Virginia made a slight bow before walking off stage. She clasped her hand one again around her necklace and whispered "Finite Incantatum" to end the spell. She walked back and sat next to Marcie. The clock struck eleven and the designated announcer got on stage to announce end of the year titles. She tuned out the announcement of Prom King and Queen and soon her attention was caught by the announcement that there was an additional award this year. "This year a new award has been added. This award goes to the one girl at school who has managed to work her way into all the guys' hearts, become the envy of all the girls. It is my pleasure to announce that this years Sandstone's Most Envied Queen of Hearts is Virginia Milstone "
Virginia walked up to the stage and took her award from the guy at the microphone. She said nothing but her eyes spoke volumes about how she was feeling. Virginia had unknowingly let her usual mask down. Her eyes were filled with sadness, loneliness, pain, and oddly enough love. An hour later she was making the drive back to the small house she owned after dropping Marcie off.
. Two weeks and one day later .
Virginia sat on her twin-sized bed and looked at the suitcases she had packed. She got up and walked over to her dresser and pulled out a long slim leather case. She opened it and carefully pulled out her wand. She ran her slim delicate fingers over the smooth polished cherry wood. She pulled out the last thing left in her closet, her backpack, and shut the door. Virginia then proceeded to shrink everything so it fit into her backpack along with her portable CD player and her CD collection which was in it's own separate bag.
After checking that she had everything she dashed down the stairs and grabbed the suitcases she had taken downstairs earlier and the two duffle bags that contained all of her shrunken furniture. She dashed out the door and looked back at the small house that had been her home for two years. (A/N: She's keeping it incase she has to leave suddenly again. It's got maintenance spell cast on both the inside and the outside.). She hopped into her car and drove into the wizarding part of California. She got to the California Floo office and grabbed her things out of her car before proceeding to shrink it and tuck it into her pocket. She waited in line until it was her turn. She grabbed floo power, threw it in the flames and shouted "Ice Haven." She landed gracefully in her new house and set her stuff down. She immediately got to work setting her place up. She finally finished after four hours of unshrinking and levitating stuff around the house.
The clock on the wall read 3:00 and she decided to go out and do some shopping for groceries and other things. She grabbed her purse and her keys before heading out the door. She pulled out of the driveway and onto the street in the all wizarding neighborhood. She drove along and turned out onto the Muggle Street. She drove around according to her map and found the first muggle mall she could.
She pulled into the parking lot and made sure the top was up on her corvette. She entered the mall and looked at the map. She quickly spotted a huge department store. She wandered through the store until she came upon the junior's section. She quickly pulled several pairs if jeans off the cloths rack in the same size. She proceeded over to the shirts and pulled many different kind of shirts. She also grabbed some skirts before going into the dressing room. She tried on everything and ended up buying only a fraction of what she tried on.
She put her purchases in the car and went to a grocery store and got the essentials before returning home. She put away her groceries and went up to her bedroom and put away her new clothes leaving out a pair of hipster denim jeans and a green cap sleeved top that said "Party Gurl" written in white. She changed her clothes and flooed to Diagon Ally.
