A/N: This was written with the FanFic100 challenge in mind, though I haven't actually 'claimed' this pairing. Don't be surprised if they don't go in order, because I don't plan on having them in order.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize, which includes Harry and Ginny.
Fanfic100: Harry and Ginny
.001.Beginnings.
"Harry Potter! Oh, Mum, can I go on the train and see him, Mum, oh please…"
"You've already seen him, Ginny, and the poor boy isn't something you goggle at in a zoo. Is he really, Fred? How do you know?"
Ten-year-old Ginny Weasley tuned out her mother as she talked to her brothers.
I'm going to be alone this year. Not even Ron will be home, she thought. Nobody to sit around the house with, go swimming with, even de-gnome the garden with. Just mum, dad and me.
The very thought brought tears to her eyes as the whistle sounded.
"Hurry up!" yelled Molly Weasley. Fred, George and Ron climbed on board the Hogwarts Express, leaving their little sister to cry on the platform. Leaning out the window to let their mother kiss them goodbye, they noticed her tears.
"Don't, Ginny, we'll send you loads of owls."
"We'll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat."
"George!" her mother screeched. Ginny stifled a giggle, still crying.
"Only joking, Mum."
The train started moving, and she chased after it, just like she did every year. Her eyes locked with a certain black haired boy as she ran. As it grew too fast for her to keep up with it, she fell back and waved. Smiling, she saw the boy give a small wave back, and she left the platform decidedly happier.
