CHAPTER ONE: THOUGHTS AND WISHES

September first came along quickly. It was a scorching summer but for many, they couldn't wait for it to be over. Platform 9 ¾ was bustling with commotion. It was almost 11:00 and the students started to board the Hogwarts Express.

"Ron, you're going to get a stomachache if you eat all those sweets!" screamed Hermione as they boarded the train.

"Sod off!" said Ron, "You're not my mum!" Stuffing yet more sweets into his mouth.

"Eh, Ron! Don't let me have to tell mum how you're behaving!" yelled Ginny. Ginny was starting her fifth year at Hogwarts while the others were starting their sixth.

Both Ginny and Hermione let out a sigh seeing as Ron paid them no attention at all. They took their seats next to Harry, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Angelina, Fred, George, Parvati, Lavender, and Ron AKA The Human Food Disposal. As they all sat and the last of the students were boarded, the train started to move. They all watched in amazement as sweet after sweet was engulfed into the endless black hole that was Ron's mouth.

"Watch out Ron! You don't want to lose that chiseled body of yours!" joked Fred.

"My own brother laughs at my pity," said Ron angrily, "You know mum kept me away from sweets because of that Doomsday Dentist visit!" Ginny just rolled her eyes upwards and thought to her self.

On the other side of the moving train, Draco Malfoy was having his own problems. He was away for the summer and decided to come home early, but that was a mistake. Not only was his father seriously abusing his mother, but also he kept on badgering him to become a death eater.

'Why can't thoughts be notebook paper, so I can rip them out and throw them away?' he thought to himself.

Crabbe and Goyle stood there like statues in the private compartment.

"Do you want something to eat?" they both asked at the same time.

"Listen you two idiotic buffoons! I don't want anything! Just go away!" He shouted.

With that, Crabbe and Goyle were gone. Draco was finally alone with his thoughts. He took out a letter his father gave him before he went to school. It read; 'Boy,
You are a Malfoy and you will act like one! If you don't become a Death Eater, there will be serious repercussions. Also, I know I can't erase what you saw me doing to your mother, but if you forget in time, there will be an increase in your bank account.
- Father'

With the letter, he received a check for Gingnott's Bank; his father had deposited a great amount of money into his account. He looked at the last word of the letter, 'Father. What type of man will call himself a father when he hurts the people he was vowed to love?' Draco thought. At that moment, his thoughts were disturbed. He turned to the door and saw that the person who entered was Pansy Parkinson. He stuffed the letter into his bag and watched as she walked towards him and sat next to him, trying to massage his neck.

"What's the matter, baby", she said trying to sound sexy.

"Listen you whore! Like I told those other buffoons, LEAVE ME ALONE!" he yelled.

With an angry huff, Pansy left. 'What a slut!' he thought. He was alone again. His thoughts drifted from his grief to his love life. He was currently with nobody. All the Slytherin girls swooned over him seeing as during the years, he had metamorphosed into some gorgeous being. His silver blonde hair glistened in the sun as he leaned his head on the window. He closed his eyes and tried to picture his perfect girl. He once again heard the compartment door open.

"I thought I told you Pansy! Leave me alone!" he yelled without opening his eyes. When he opened his eyes and looked at the door, the girl there wasn't Pansy, but it was Ginny Weasley.

"Oh I'm so very sorry," she said sheepishly, "I thought this was an empty compartment".

"That's okay Weasley", he said smirking, "Come sit, I don't bite." He looked at the red head as she came to sit next to him. She also had transformed. She was no longer the little Weasley girl that wasn't noticed but now an elegant lady with red hair. Even though she had her robe on, he could see she had a black lace top with a short red plaid skirt.

"You know I have a first name?" she asked.

"Yeah but I call your brother Weasley, why not you?" Draco asked.

"Because I am not my brother, and plus I'm not a Human Food Disposal, he's eating everything in sight!"

"Probably he should join up with Crabbe and Goyle", he said sniggering. It also made Ginny laugh. 'Wow!' he thought. 'She's very pretty, wait! That's a Weasley! What am I saying?'

Ginny looked at him and thought, 'Damn! He's hot!' He had on a black crew neck sweater and black jeans. His storm gray eyes reflected the sun and hi hair looked more silvery than blonde in the sun. There was an awkward silence. Draco saw that she had a book on her lap.

"Spinner of Dreams?" he asked.

Ginny looked confused and then looked at her lap. "Oh yeah, I've been reading it. It's Hermione's, one of her favorites even though it's Muggle", she said looking into his gaze.

At that moment, with a fling of the compartment door, came in Pansy with a rage. Her fists clenched. Draco got up and stood like she couldn't do anything.

"This is for calling me a whore, you son of a bitch!" she said furiously.

With that, she swung her arm and gave Draco one punch in his mouth knocking him to the ground. She turned, gave Ginny a sneer and left out the door.

"Oh my! Are you okay?" said Ginny with much concern. She went towards him and took out her wand. She conjured up some anesthetic to clean the wound on his lip. He cringed when she applied it to him. She gave him a napkin to hold down for a while. After, she said a spell and got rid of the wound. Draco stood up and helped Ginny get to her feet. All of a sudden the train seemed to pull of with more speed and Ginny stumbled right into Draco's arms. Draco seemed to hug her. She looked up at him, and she turned pink and ran out of the compartment and met up with the rest.

Draco just smiled and looked back at the seat. There was her book. He picked it up and saw the tasseled bookmark. He sat down and began to read it for the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts. He thought of her periodically, wishing that she would of stayed longer in his embrace, remembering her touch and smell. He continued on reading the book.
