The Mind of a Girl

Chapter 1 - What did you say?

It was the first day back at Hogwarts. Harry, Hermione (Mione), and Ron were relaxing the crimson and gold Gryffindor common room in the squishy armchairs in front of the fire. They had just gotten back from the feast and were all very drowsy.

The Golden Trio all jumped when they heard a load crash from behind them and a tiny "Shit!" from the same direction. They looked around and saw a red-haired Ginny lying on the floor in a great heap.

"What! I tripped!" said a slightly embarrassed Ginny. Ron sniggered at hid sister clumsiness.

"Its not funny Ron! Ginny could have gotten hurt!.Ginny are you okay?" Hermione said all of this, scolding Ron, while still being kind with Ginny.

Ginny and Hermione were best friends (girl wise) and as both were growing older they seemed to become closer, and definitely talk about boys more!

"Well I think that Ginny and I are going to go up to bed now! We'll see you guys later," said Hermione, though she had no intentions of actually going to sleep, and neither did Ginny for that matter.

"Yea, good night!" said Ginny, following the hint in Hermione's tone.

The two girls walked up into their dorm and sat on their beds, which were right next to each other. Hermione looked like she was going to explode with comments, but she kept them in, for now at least.

"So, Ginny, ....who do u like?" Hermione burst out. She couldn't help herself. They hadn't been able to talk about boys for so longs, because all summer they were around Harry and Ron.

"You know who I like Hermione," said Ginny sheepishly, "I've like the same guy for three years!"

"Oh, so you still have a thing for Harry?"

"Yea..he's my one-and-only," Ginny laughed "But did you see that blonde haired boy at the Slytherin table? Damn! He was hott!!!"

"Uh, Ginny..that was Malfoy!!!!!" said Hermione ecstatically

"You're JOKING!!! He was all muscular and I don't know if you noticed but when his eyes seem so much softer. They aren't the same cold, gray eyes, but more bluish. Its like you can see further into him." Ginny said, admiring all of his new-and-improved features.

"Er, Ginny I don't want to break up your thoughts of how sexy Malfoy is but if I am much mistaken you are getting a thing for him and, well your 'one- and-only' completely hates him!!!" stated Hermione matter-of-factly

"Oh shit! You're right! I better start thinking how sexy Harry is!" Ginny teased.

"Spare me the details, please!!" said Hermione. They both giggled, told each other good-night, shut their curtains around their bed, and drifted off to sleep.
