Ok. This is my second fanfiction that I've attempted. Please read and review.
Disclaimer: Nope not JK Rowling's underwear, so I must not be her. Therefore, I don't own Harry Potter either. I do, however, have some comfy pink linen pants.
Chapter 1
As the Hogwarts Express pulled out of the station, Ginny was already furious with Ron and Harry. At least at the Burrow she had her own room, but here, she was stuck in a 6ft.x 4ft. compartment for more hours than she wanted to think about.
"Chudley Cannons have way better uniforms than Puddlemere United!" Ron exclaimed.
"Do not!" Harry responded.
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Will you two idiots shove it up your arses? I am so sick of having to listen to this mindless drivel and if I don't get away from you this instant, I may have to hex off your manhood!"
Ginny jumped up and stormed out. As the door was closing behind her she heard Harry sat, "Ron, I think Ginny's knickers are in a twist because she knows Puddlemere United has better uniforms." She banged her head on the wall behind her as she pondered why she had to admit she even knew The-Boy-Who-Lived-To-Be-A-Nuisance and her git of a brother.
"Good idea to beat all the clambles out of your hair," a dreamy voice said. "Luna!" Ginny ran up to her best friend and hugged her tightly. "Where are your pants?" She asked perplexed.
"Oh, I'm making them in my compartment. Come on, you can help."
"Uh, ok." Ginny followed Luna down the hallway into a compartment that was empty. Empty except for a huge jar of olives, that is.
"I'm making a skirt out of olive pits. Start eating," she instructed. Ginny didn't need telling twice because olives just happened to be her favorite food. She ate the fleshy meat and gave Luna the pits. Luna was sewing the pits together. As Ginny swallowed her 27th olive, she asked, "Why are you making a skirt out of olive pits anyway?" She adored Luna but had to admit she was a little unusual.
"To keep the Blue-Winged Warbles away, of course." She sighed happily. When the train arrived at Hogsmeade station, Ginny and Luna, in her new skirt, exited and walked over to the waiting carriages. They climbed into an empty one and waited for it to go when the carriage door opened again.
"There's room in this one, Mate." The dark haired boy climbed in and sat down next to Luna. He didn't even notice the girls staring at him. Ginny looked at Luna and mouthed silently, "Hubba Hubba!" The girls both burst out laughing and the dark haired boy turned and looked at them for the first time. Luna gazed into his blue eyes and stopped laughing. "Hubba Hubba," she said out loud. Just then a platinum blond head poked in the door. "There you are, you stupid git!" he exclaimed climbing in and settling himself next to Ginny.
Ginny couldn't believe it. Malfoy was sitting next to her. She reached into her pocket for her wand, just in case. "What are you doing here, Ferret?" She asked him.
"Oh, I see the little Weasel has a backbone. When did that grow?" Malfoy sneered at her. "Right after I gave you that lovely bat-bogey hex two years ago, you vile prat!"
Draco smiled. A real, genuine smile. And he laughed. A real, genuine laugh. Was he just trying to mess with her head? Malfoy's don't smile. They leer, or sneer or smirk. They definitely don't smile, but there it is. "You may want to pick your chin up now, Weaslette. You amuse me, but why aren't you with Potty and the bigger Weasel?"
"Well, Ferretface, as much as I hate to make you privy to this little piece of information, they are complete idiots and my tolerance level for them was used up about 5 minutes into summer holiday. So, I was just enjoying the company of my best friend, here, before you two decided to intrude."
Malfoy couldn't hide his surprise but he tried his best. So, the little weasel, what was her name?, was not following the Dream Team like a little puppy any more. Interesting. How could this work to his advantage?
Hmmm, Malfoy is actually almost human. How can I use this to my advantage? It would be fun to use him to mess with Harry and Ron's heads. This will require some careful consideration.
Draco and Ginny were both pulled out of their scheming thoughts by Luna. She was explaining her outfit to Blaise it seemed. "So, I made it out of olive pits to protect from Blue-Winged Warbles. You are familiar with them, right? I mean, how could you not be? Anyone who's anyone has heard of the terror they caused during the last Fairy Revolution."
Blaise and Draco both shot Ginny confused looks, but she just shrugged her shoulders. She whispered, "Just smile and nod," so that's what they did. The carriage drew up in front of the castle and the boys exited it and turned to offer Ginny and Luna a hand getting down. If this surprised the girls, they hid it well. Then, the unlikely group headed up to the castle doors together.
