Only the Beginning
Chapter one: Get acquainted
The smallest member of the Weasley clan walked up and down the train to Hogwarts, looking for an empty compartment. She was quite tired of her brother's antics and wanted nothing more than a quiet, peaceful train ride. This was a difficult thing to find however, as most of the students has already taken up residence in seemingly every compartment to be found. In the end, Virginia successfully found a compartment, but it was unfortunately at the end of the train. Compartments at the end of the train are known to be use by Slytherins, and Slytherins only. Any student not in Slytherin did their best to avoid the area. It was best not to be found on Slytherin turf, especially for a Gryffindor.
'I don't think it's wise to get a compartment at the end of the train, Virginia thought, After what happened last year when a 5th year was found there. Virginia involuntarily shuddered at the thought. But the only compartment that is not occupied is right here in the back of the train.'
In her head, she quickly weighted the pros and cons about where to sit. 'If I sit here I get to be left alone and can think my thoughts with out interruption. However, if a Slytherin walks in I would be in a big mess. On the other hand, I could go sit with the "Dream Team" and be ignored by them.'
'I rather get in trouble with the Slytherins then be ignored by your OWN brother!' At the thought of being ignored for the entire train ride, or worse yet, lectured, Virginia quickly entered the compartment. She quickly got comfortable after putting a locking charm on the door.
Unfortunately, Virginia was not aware that the compartment she chose is always claimed by the same person every year. The person that year in and year out made every Gryffindor miserable, and just happens to be the mortal enemy of her entire family. Feeling quite secure, and ignorant to this knowledge, Virginia opts to take a nap.

Draco Malfoy walked confidently to his compartment, a feeling of accomplishment on his face. He had just had a run in with the Dream Team, and had gotten Weasley riled up as always.
"Stupid prat," He muttered under his breath as he took hold of the doorknob.
Unfortunately for him, the door does not open. Slightly perturbed, Draco cast a first year unlocking spell and entered his compartment. Lying there quietly sleeping is the last person he expected to find in his compartment. Draco stood in shock for a moment, and then anger set in. How dare she? This was his compartment, not hers. Just because she was poor did not excuse her from stealing his one piece of solitude.
Draco walked over to the youngest Weasley and poked her none too playfully with his wand. She woke with a start, and Draco smirked to see the color drain from her face.
"And just what, you poor little mudblood lover, do you think you are doing in my compartment?"
