A/N: Back in 2010 some of you will remember that I made a one-shot about Harry and Ginny, with Ginny being a Slytherin. I got a lot of positive feed back on it, and since I've been trying to come up with idea's on expanding it into a story. I had trouble, but then a friend suggested a series of One-Shots with the idea, and go from there. I've come up with some scenario's but I any of you are curious about a situation you'd like to see feel free to suggest it.
Green
For as long as she can remember, Ginny's never liked green. She pretended too though. She had to. How could she not, when her family was as well known as the Malfoy's for being in Slytherin? It's not like she didn't like the reputation. In fact, she was proud to be a pureblood witch, proud that she didn't have a speck of Muggle blood in her veins. However, she still hid the fact that she didn't like green and blamed her brothers for it.
She remembered Percy telling her of when their eldest brother, Bill, first went to Hogwarts. He was the first in the family, the first of many, many, generations of Slytherins, to not be in Slytherin. Percy told her how their mother cried, ashamed that her first born was in Gryffindor.
Then there was her other set of brothers. The Twins didn't bother hiding the fact that they hated the family for being proud and arrogant about their blood line. They made jokes towards Charlie and Percy about being Snakes, and claimed that Bill was their hero for showing that it is possible to leave the family legacy behind. When they went to Hogwarts, the family got a package from them that very night.
In it was a red and gold scarf with a letter that said, 'Finally, someone knows what our favourite colour is.'
It was that reason that Ginny had to pretend. She remembered watching her mother throw the piece of fabric into the fire, yelling and screaming about how her children were trying to tear this family apart while her father tried calming her down, though Ginny could tell that he wasn't impressed either.
Ron hadn't done anything when he became of stupid Lion, though he didn't need to. Fred and George took care of that for him by sending a similar package. The result was a Howler disowning all three of them, telling them not to bother coming back.
After that, Ginny was adamant on saying she loved green, hoping it would make her mother happy to know not all her children were against her and while it did make her mother happy, Ginny was bitter.
She hated green. She thought the colour was to weak, too bland, too…bleh. It reminded her of swaps and sludge, and while she didn't mind getting dirty, she was still a girl and had her limits. She didn't like lying but she also didn't want to disappoint her parents.
She was happy to be put into her families house. Sure, she had to endure all the mocking about her family name going down hill but after a few Bat-Bogey curses, it stopped. She even learned to tolerate all the green, though she still found it an ugly colour.
So when she ran into someone during her second at school, she was surprised that there was actually a nice shade of the colour she secretly loathed in existence.
But why did it have to be the colour of that stupid Potters eyes?
A/N:I tried to keep her in character, but still giving her qualities of a Slytherin. Don't know how well I managed it but hoped you all liked it and will stay tuned for more. Remember, if you want to request something don't hesitate to ask!
