The Rose

Chapter 1
Ginny got out of bed and walked over to the mirror attached to the
back of her bedroom door. She stood gazing at her self, taking in her
appearance. She had gone through a lot of changes over the summer
her hair was almost blonde now with dark red streaks through it and
she had developed curves in all the right places.
Satisfied with what she saw in the mirror she walked across the hall
to the bathroom which she shared with her two older brothers, Fred and
George. She entered the bathroom with caution, because you never knew
what you might find in Fred and George's bathroom.
After she determined that it was safe, she stepped into the shower
with a sigh. She always loved taking a hot shower, seeing as how she
rarely got one with eight other people living in the house.
After finishing her shower she went back to her room and picked out a
black skirt and green and silver shirt that said across the front, 'My
brother went to the Slytherin dorm and came back with this shirt and a
bloody nose.' She put her hair up in a ponytail, put a little lip
gloss on and went down stairs, thinking, If they only knew my
secret...but they'll find out soon enough.
Draco stepped out of the car and onto the pavement. He had been
waiting for this year to come - he was now a 7th year student and the
king of Slytherin.
He pushed his cart toward the platform when he spotted a girl wearing
a black skirt and green and silver shirt. Something was written
across the front of the shirt that he couldn't quite make out.
"Potter, if you touch me one more time, I will take your broom and
shove it up your arse" yelled the girl.
Draco looked at the girl with lust and interest. After boarding the
train he dropped off his trunk with Crabbe and Goyle and went
searching for the mystery girl. Draco had almost given up on finding
her when he came to the last compartment. He opened it and found the
dream team and the girl.
"What do you want, Malfoy" Harry asked hostilely.
"Well, I was just wondering if that girl would like to come and sit
with me and my friends" Draco asked with ease.
The girl stood languorously before Harry could answer. "I suppose I
will" she said thoughtfully"I need to speak with you anyway,
Draco."
Draco was a bit confused, seeing as she appeared to know perfectly
well who he was and he had never met her before. Never one to turn
down a pretty girl, Draco nodded and beckoned for her to follow him.
When she and Draco got to an empty compartment, Draco sat down across from her.
"Ok Draco" she said abruptly"I have changed over the summer and I
need some help. I need a boyfriend and I think you can help me there."
Draco was now very confused and asked"Who are you? Besides, even if
I knew you, what makes you think I would be your boyfriend? I don't do
anything for free, you know."
His mystery girl smiled and replied"I know. And I think there are
several reasons why you are going to say yes."
Draco smirked"Fire away."
She held up a finger"One" Ron. Watching him explode because you're
dating his sister would be quite enough for you. Two" "another
finger"Harry. He seems to have finally realized what he gave up and
I think you would like very dearly to have something he wants. And
three, you."
"Me" asked Draco, astonished.
She nodded"I see more than you think. You were looking at me on the Platform."
Flushing slightly Draco said"You can't be Ginny Weasley. She
wouldn't do this."
Ginny shrugged"Like I said, I have changed. I need you to complete
my image. Also, I requested a Re-Sorting. It should go well."
With that, Ginny stood up, walked over to Draco, and sat down on his
Lap. Looking mischievously into his confused silver eyes, she grinned
and said"A preview."
Then, much to Draco's shock, she began kissing his neck.
He pushed her away with a great deal of willpower and said"Only if
you make it into Slytherin."
Ginny smirked and stood looking down at him for a moment. Draco felt
vaguely bereft. "Deal"she said striding out of the compartment,
leaving Draco alone in the compartment for the rest of the ride. He
put his head in his hands and wonder what on earth he had gotten
himself into.
