A Walk on the Wild Side Chapter One ~*~Beginnings~*~

Ginny Weasley looked down at her homework. "Why do they give us so much homework don't they know we have lives to?"

"Jeez, Gin, its only the first week of holiday and you're complaining already. At least get it done so you can have the rest of the summer to do whatever you want."

" I know but still," replied Ginny. She couldn't wait to finish her the last of her homework; the last thing she had was a Potions essay three feet long. God, sometimes she hated Snape.

*Wait did I say sometimes?* Ginny thought. *I mean ALL the time.* She wanted to get her schoolwork quickly; Harry was coming in a few weeks. Ginny thought back to her last three years at Hogwarts, embarrassed. It was kind of pathetic how she had liked him since she was in first year.

Now she was a fourth year, but she couldn't help it that raven black hair she just itched to run her fingers through and those piercing emerald eyes and that body. Oh God, it was heavenly. There was only one other guy Ginny was attracted to. Draco Malfoy. He had silver blonde hair; icy gray eyes; a body to rival Harry's; and a sexy smile that could make any girl go week in the knees. He seemed to get more attractive every year.

"Ginny? Ginny? GINNY!" asked Ron loudly. "Are you awake?"

"Oh. Yeah, sorry," Ginny replied distantly.

"What were you thinking about?" A knowing smile crossed his face. "Or should I say WHO?"

The girl glared at her older brother. "None of your business."

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever." A knock came at the door. Ron looked up from his Divination essay. "Who could that be?" He got up from the table and went to the door.

Ginny turned back to her essay. Her ears perked up when she heard Ron exclaim, "Harry!" *Oh my God,* she thought, panicked. *Harry's not supposed to be here for a few days! Do I look OK?*

"Hey, Gin, look who's here," Ron began, walking back into the kitchen with Harry. The black-haired boy smiled at her.

"Hi, harry," Ginny greeted him squeakily. "What's up?"

He shrugged. "Nothing much."

She nodded. "That's cool."

There was another knock at the door. "That must be Hermione," Ron said. "Hold on a sec."

He left the kitchen, leaving Harry and Ginny alone. "So," Ginny said, thinking of something to say. "Start your homework yet, Harry?"

"Yeah," he replied, but said nothing else. They sat together in uncomfortable silence, which was blissfully interrupted when Ron came back into the kitchen with Hermione.

"Hi, Hermione," Ginny said cheerily to her older friend. *Damn!* she thought. *I thought she wasn't coming for a few days! Now, she and Harry and Ron will be all friendly, and they'll ignore me.* She snorted. *Well, what else is new?*

~*~

Ginny looked between Harry and Hermione, fuming. It had been a month since they came to the Burrow, and their eyes hadn't left each other since. Ron looked miffed at the love connection that was going on between his two best friends also.

The four of them stood just outside the Leaky Cauldron, clutching their wizard money in small velvet pouches. "I wanted to go meet some friends at Madam Malkin's, Ron. Can I go?"

Ron shrugged. "I guess. Be back here around three-ish?"

She smiled broadly at him. "Thanks, Ron." Ginny caught one last look at Harry and Hermione locking eyes as she walked away.

*This obsession with Harry has to stop,* Ginny ordered herself. *He obviously has a crush on Hermione. It's time to move on."

Outside of Madam Malkin's were her three friends, Nicole, a short, plump girl with chestnut curls and eyes the same shade; and Dawn, a tall, thin girl with long blonde hair and sharp sky-blue eyes.

"Hey, Gin," Dawn welcomed her friend. "You look gorgeous!"

"Did you get a haircut? Highlights? Looks great," Nicole told her. Ginny smiled, pleased by the compliments.

"Thanks," Ginny said happily. "Let's step inside, shall we?" The three walked into Madam Malkin's.

~*~

Draco Malfoy stepped into Madam Malkin's store. He was in need of new dress robes for Hogwarts, and this was the best place to find them.

"Ginny, those look great," he heard a girl say. He looked behind him and did a double take. A ruby-haired woman was gazing into a mirror at herself, her hands stroking her emerald-green silk dress robes. His eyes traced the seam of her dress, stretching over her rich curves, her slim waist, and up her petite chest. It was only when he reached her eyes did he realize that this girl was Ginny Weasley.

*Could that really be Weasley's little sister?* he wondered. She definitely grew up over the summer.

"Ginny," whispered Nicole to her friend. A huge grin covered her face. "Behind you. A guy's staring at you." She turned her head around and found Draco Malfoy staring at her. She didn't blush or turn away; Ginny gave him a slow, smooth smile. Draco blinked, and broke his gaze on her. He left the store without buying anything.

"Ooh," Dawn said excitedly. "Looks likes somebody's got a crush." Ginny only smiled.

"Did you have fun with your friends today, Ginny?" Ron asked her when she arrived in front of the Leaky Cauldron, holding three bags full of merchandise. She was glowing with happiness, and didn't even notice Harry and Hermione's fingers reaching to touch each other.

"Best day of my life," Ginny replied. This year was going to be different. No more being a shy wallflower, no more being a good little girl. She was taking a walk on the wild side.
