The day was soft when a girl with flaming red hair, a pale
complection, and old robes went running through platform 9 ¾ ."See you in
December Ginny" yelled Virginia Weasley's mother as Virginia (A.K.A. Ginny)
boarded the train.
"Bye mum" yelled Ginny out the window, to her fast disappearing mother. Just then the compartment door slid open.
"Well Weasley it's nice to see you,and believe me I'm sorry to say this but this is the last empty compartment on the train." Said a familiar cold voice.
"Stand then!" yelled Ginny "I don't want a Malfoy in my compartment!"
"Sorry but I just can't do that." Said Malfoy sitting down across from her." First year eh?".
"Why would you want to know?" Ginny said in a questioning tone.
"No reason Weasley just thought-."Malfoy said but Ginny interrupted him.
"I'm not my brother you know so don't even think about calling me Weasley, Weasel, or if I become a Gryffindor a Gryff for that matter, because I do have a first name." Ginny said.
"I didn't know Wea- Virginia Weasley could defend herself like that." Malfoy said smirking.
"Well I can Malfoy-." Ginny said, this time Malfoy interrupted her.
"If I have to respect the fact that you have a first name, you have to respect the fact that I have one too." Malfoy- Draco said.
"All right then Draco." Ginny said.
"So hoping to become a Gryff-?" Malfoy thought for a moment "-indor?"
Ginny smiled he had actually listened to her for a change. "Well actually, I was hoping for something a completely different than my brother's." Ginny said. I want loyalty and adventures she thought to herself I don't want to be caught up in all that potter nonsense.
Four hours had past, Draco and Ginny had great conversations. He's not as bad as my brother say's he is, she thought and he's actually kind of cute. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to land in Slytherin I could make great friend's and have wonderful adventure's, so, it's settled that's where I want to be I don't care what everyone thinks, me and my brother's are completely different.
"Virginia HELLO is anybody in there" Draco said as he shook Ginny. The trance broke she realized she'd been ignoring everything he had said.
"What?" Ginny said.
"Where do you want to be?" Draco said
"Dunno? Maybe Slytherin wouldn't be that bad." Ginny said. Then she realized Draco was gaping at her. "What I already told you I want something completely different than my brother's. I am different than them you know."
"You really don't seem like you are your brother's sister you know?" Draco said.
"haven't you listened to a word I've said me and my brother's are completely different. DUH!" Ginny said angrily.
"Oh I have I just thought you were kidding about wanting to be a Slytherin" Draco said wearing his usual smirk. "But the one thing I'm worried about is if your going to be able to stand being with me for six year's."
"If I can stand you for four hour's, I'll be able to stand you for ever." Ginny said. Al of a sudden the train pulled to a stop. "Finally we're here, see you during sorting Virginia." And with that Draco left the compartment.
As Ginny stepped off the train she heard a voice "Firs' years this way" it was a huge man with a long beard holding a lantern "Follow me firs' years" Ginny did as the man instructed. The whole lot of first years were piled into boat's and sailed across a vass black lake and walked across the front lawn to find a humongous castle. The first years were told to go into the entrance hall and they would receive further instruction's there. They all did as they were told and sure enough a witch with a pointed hat was waiting for them.
"I am professor McGonagall of transfiguration and head of Gryffindor house. You will follow me into the great hall to be sorted and then dinner will be served." Said the witch now known as Professor McGonagall. The first year's did as they were told and they walked into a great hall with four long tables the one on the far left had green, black and silver tablecloths the next one to the right had blue and then the next yellow, the last table on the right had maroon and gold, 'a hideous clash' Ginny thought. The first years were brought up to a staff table in front of the rest. There was a small stool in front of the table with an old warn hat on top of it. "When I call your name you will come forth I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses." Said Professor McGonagall. "Louise Culk." All of a sudden a girl with flowing black hair and expensive robe's pushed her way past Ginny a smile on her face.
Professor McGonagall was about one inch away from placing the sorting hat on Louise' head when the hat yelled "Slytherin!"
The compartment was silent
Not one thing was violent
You slid open the door
I felt warm to the core
We talked and had fun
Till the train ride was done
Now I know you
Better than anyone
