Last ChapterHarry laughed at her and put one of his arms over her shoulder pulling her into a side hug. She could feel butterflies in her stomach doing back sault after back sault and she knew that she was probably grinning from ear to ear now. Keira raised her eyebrows questioningly but said nothing. Both Ron and Harry were oblivious to everything … not that Ginny minded. She would be mortified if Ron found out and if Harry knew that would be the end of their friendship … or whatever it was that they had.
She sighed and pulled out from under Harry's strong grip. Who was she kidding? She didn't have a hope in hell of getting the boy who just would not die. He had half the Hogwarts population chasing after him. Actually probably only the Gryffindor girls cause the rest were chasing after Draco fricken Malfoy. What they saw in him she had absolutely no idea. She made some excuse to go to bed early but everyone seemed to be having to much fun to care. For some reason she just wasn't as hipped as before. The things pondering do to you.
And now for Wat u hav all bin waiting for!!!
Chapter 2.
Audience: Cheers and throw roses
They were so close now. She could practically hear their gasps for air and feel their horrid and harsh hands that would soon take the last breath from her. With every step they drew closer and with every dreaded step it hurt more and more. The stabbing pain that shot up her legs every time her feet hit the hard stone ground, the pain that came with every gasp for air, the sting every time a tear rolled down the countless unhealed gashes that had appeared over her fated journey.
They were less than 10m behind her now. Her fate was sealed! There was no way she was going to out run them and stopping to fight them was out of the question. 20 of them against 1 of her. Sure she was a good fighter but even at her peak she didn't stand a chance. They were trained to kill! She … she hadn't even been trained how to fend for herself up until a year ago let alone fight. Her train of though was suddenly distracted by the sudden pain that was submerged within every fibre of her body. She collapsed to the ground and grabbed the arrow that was imbedded deeply in her back and with one hard yank she pulled it out letting the blood flow freely from the wound.
She pulled herself up so she was on all fours and fought back the tears that were threatening to spill. She wasn't about to beg for her life but she definitely didn't want to die like this. She hadn't thought even in her wildest and craziest dreams that when she had taken on the mission she would end up like this. She thought it would just be a little bit of fun and adventure. She didn't regret it but she knew it probably wasn't the wisest of decisions she had made in her lifetime.
She could now feel their eyes on her and could picture the evil smirks that were now on their faces, longing for the taste of death again. A cold rough hand grabbed her by the neck and yanked her upwards then threw her back down so they could see her face. They were waiting! At first she thought they were waiting for the right time to kill her or even for her to speak but they didn't care about petty things like that. They didn't give a shit if they killed her in her sleep or in the middle of a church service! As long as they got to kill her they were satisfied. What were they waiting for? They didn't wait … hell even their master didn't wait! Suddenly red sparks filled the air and the disappointment on their faces confirmed her thoughts that they had been waiting for permission to kill her. They hadn't been given it.
She closed her eyes and waited until they got sick of kicking and throwing stones at her. She wasn't the type to just let people walk right over the top of her and push her around but at the moment she didn't have the strength to fight back. She had been on this mission for four months now and hadn't eaten or drank for weeks. They had been chasing her the whole time. She didn't know why it concerned them and at the time she hadn't wanted to wait until they caught up to ask. For four and a half days she had been running from them and when they finally caught her they didn't even kill her. She should have been happy that she got out of it alive and she felt incredibly guilty that she was putting her self-pity in front of the mission but the pain was to much for her to bear. Death would have to be better than this. It hurt to breathe, move, think, anything hurt. Everything hurt. She remembered when she used to read books how the author would explain the pain exactly like she was feeling. She used to scoff at the book ignorantly deeming it impossible for someone to be in so much pain. How wrong she had been! She opened her eyes and waited until they adjusted and her vision cleared up, it never happened. There was one very blurry person standing over her holding up a lot of fingers.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" he asked
The sound bounced around her reminding her of what it felt like to have a hangover but so many times worse. She closed her eyes and groaned but immediately regretted that as her groan turned into a spluttering cough. She opened her eyes again but soon regretted that as well. The sight that met her was of a pool of blood that she had coughed up.
Was she really in that bad a state? Sure she felt that bad but everyone said it was when you couldn't feel the pain anymore that you really were in trouble. She closed her eyes again and a second later she could feel strong hands picking her up delicately and she could hear his soothing voice murmuring something in her ear. And that was the last thing she remembered before drifting off into a deep sleep.
"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!" a loud bubbly voice screamed throwing a bucket of ice-cold water on her
"HOLY FRICKEN CRAP!" Ginny screamed
"GINEVRA WEASLEY!!!" she heard her mother scream from downstairs, "I WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT LANGUAGE IN MY HOUSEHOLD!!!"
"SORRY MUM!" she screamed back
Keira and Hermione both laughed and Ginny rolled her eyes. Keira had somehow managed to soften Hermione a little. She was a wonder that girl. That would have to be the first time Ginny had heard or not heard Hermione get up someone for swearing. She couldn't see the sense in staying in a soaking wet bed so she figured it was probably time to get up. Keira chucked her some clothes, "Breakfast than you me and dear old Hermes are goin … SHOPPIN!!!"
"Keira I told you not to call me that!" Hermione shrieked
"Soz Hermes it just flows off the tongue if ya know wat I mean." Keira said absent mindlessly fiddling with her hair
Hermione just rolled her eyes, "Whatever! I'm goin down to have some breakfast!"
"Soooooooo." Keira said twiddling her fingers
"Ready for the big partay that you are takin me and Colin too."
"Huh." She said, "There's a party."
"No there's no party!" Keira said shocked, "Whoever told you that?" she said looking around the room, "Unless of course you haven't told me about it!" she said raising her eyebrows, "Hmmmm. I can't believe you aren't inviting me!!! I thought we were friends!" faking hurt
"Oh shutup Keira! You said there was a party!"
"No I didn't I said there was a partay!" she said linking arms with Ginny and swinging her around, "See the difference."
"Oh! Riiiight! Partaaaaay!!!" she said nodding her head and matching Keira's grin,
"No Ron … No Harry … No Teachers or Parents."
"Big Partaaaaay with lots of alcohol and loud music!!!" Keira whispered excitedly jumping around in circles
"And dear old Colin to make sure we don't get too smashed and to get us home safely!" Ginny said joining Keira jumping around in circles
"You sure catch on quickly don't you!" Keira said winking and jumping down the last few stairs
Ginny followed her example jumping down the last few stairs and linked her arm with Keira's before walking into the kitchen. Hermione was already in a heated "discussion" with Ron while Harry was the victim of Fred and George's jokes. Bill and Mum were arguing, the ongoing argument, about his hair, Dad and Charlie were discussing how muggle artefacts could help them win the war and Tonks was … Tonks was drawing?!?! 'what the hell?' Ginny thought staring at Tonks. Did nobody else think this strange that Tonks the bubbly witch that never sat still and had absolutely no patience was drawing! Something that required a lot of patience and a lot of time sitting still. This was definitely something that Ginny needed to look into. She left Keira's side, which had joined in with Fred and George giving Harry a hard time eating his breakfast, and made some room next to Tonks.
"Soooooo." She said silkily, "What are you drawing?"
Tonks looked up startled then grinned, "Ginny. Ginny. Ginny." She said shaking her head sadly, "I most certainly am not drawing anything! I'm designing …" she said showing Ginny a picture of a group of people wearing very very odd clothing. Ginny raised her eyebrows questioningly and too the paper from Tonks, "It's for my friends rock band! Their playing at Hogwarts ball actually!" Ginny nodded impressively. The lead singer was wearing black skinny leg jeans, converse shoes, a white Singlet top with black sign writing on it, a purple and black tie, a black jacket/bolero thingy with poofy shoulders, purple eye shadow and dark black mascara. The girl had long black hair with a tint of purple in it which she had pushed forward in a poof and left the rest hang down messily. Over her shoulder the girl had a white, black and of course … purple electric guitar with dragons scattered across it. It was quite a look! And that was only the lead singer. The drummer was … of course … wearing no shirt, which enhanced his well-toned abs, faded skinny leg jeans and a black and silver tie that hung loosely around his neck. He had spiked his long blond hair up into a Mohawk type style and had a dragon tattoo across his chest. Ginny studied the rest of the band and came to the conclusion that the Professors of Hogwarts had no idea that this group was preforming at Hogwarts 'cos they sure looked way to wild to be allowed on Hogwarts grounds.
Tonks must have read her mind because she soon answered Ginny's question, "I … er … didn't actually tell Dumbledore that they were preforming." She said looking around the room awkwardly, "But he did say I was in charge of the music and they are into muggle rock!" she said defiantly, grinning at Ginny, "This is their clothes design for the dance," Tonks said waving her hand over the sheet of paper, "I'm also getting Green Day, Snow Patrol, 30 seconds to Mars, The Killers, Eskimo Joe and a few others bands to come in … so it should be a big success." Tonks said uncertainly. She looked extremely nervous. Probably about the reaction that would come form the Hogwarts professors when they saw her band choice Ginny concluded, "Music wise anyway! Professor Dumbledore said he was going to let the students design the hall and organise catering and stuff like that." Tonks said making a face, "So that could be a bit sus … especially if Hermione got landed with the job." Tonks said winking, Ginny laughed, "Don't tell her I said that though … she would kill me."
Keira waved at Ginny motioning her to hurry up and pointed at her watch on her wrist … that actually wasn't there "Do you mind if I pinch that piece of toast Tonks?" Ginny asked not waiting for a reply before taking it, "Because I have to go shopping with Keira and Herms … we are going to a partay tonight so we have to get something to wear."
"Oh thanks for inviting me." Tonks said pretending to look hurt and left out, "I really appreciate it."
"No prob's Tonks." Ginny said laughing, "Any time."
Tonks rolled her eyes, "Have fun anyway. Keep Hermione under control … don't want her to go wild on you." She said sarcastically
Ginny laughed waving her goodbye at Tonks and the others before running out of the kitchen to join Hermione and Keira in front of the fire.
"So gang." She said swinging her arms over their shoulders, "What are we waiting for?" she said stupidly, "I was under the impression that we were going shopping!"
Keira rolled her eyes, grabbed some flow powder and stepped into the fire. Hermione followed her example and then Ginny said a quick goodbye to her Mum then jumped in the fire after Hermione. She closed her eyes tightly, kept her elbows tucked in and landed safely in Diagon Alley. Hermione and Keira were already out the door heading towards the nearest fashion store excitedly.
Ginny took this time to study her friends. They were a weird bunch. Hermione went for the book nerd look (no surprises there) fairly conservative and she had a shy, timid look about her. Everyone thought she was stuck up, bossy and a complete now-it-all, Ginny thought she was lacking self-confidence and doubted herself. That was why she resorted to the one thing she knew she was good at … knowledge. That was why she studied so hard, if she lost her knowledge she would have nothing. Or that was what she thought anyway.
Keira … Keira was the complete opposite. She definitely didn't lack self-confidence; in fact she probably had enough self-confidence for half the Hogwarts population. Keira was a bubbly girl, full of life always talking … most of the time anyway. One fault Keira had was … well not exactly a fault I suppose. It's not really her fault.
Ok I'll start from the very beginning. Keira's mother, Shelly, was exactly like Keira. Beautiful, smart and full of life … except Shelly would be the centre of attention, the life of the party for a week then everything would go down hill. She would have a complete low. Sleep for hours on end, wouldn't eat, wouldn't talk then suddenly she be on a huge high again for a week then another low. It was a very unstable life Shelly led. Everyone tried to help her and guide her but she wouldn't have it. She was positive that she was fine. Then she met Tim, Keira's Dad, she got married after a few weeks after meeting the guy and halfway through her 6th year. Her family was devastated and Shelly and her mother had a huge fight, which still isn't resolved today.
Two wees after the marriage Shelly got pregnant. Now we all know that this usually is a very traumatic event even on … ok I'll just say it … even on normal woman. So evidently Shelly was on a high for about 1 week then crashed. The realisation hit … the realisation of what a baby meant. Tim told me that this was when Shelly finally realised what her sudden highs and lows meant. Before. She had her Mother to look after her when she was on a low … now that she had a child and Tim was working she had to look after herself … and a kid. Shelly couldn't cope, so Tim had to give up his job and look after both Shelly and Keira. So now you are probably thinking … But where is the income coming from? Well Tim was a pureblood wizard and had inherited a fair bit of money that they could probably survive off in two lifetimes.
"It was rough at times" Tim had said "but it was worth it. I loved Shelly and I absolutely adored Keira … but sometimes it just gets to hard and the lows never seemed to end and the sun never seemed to shine." Tim couldn't live like that … he was drowning in all the sorrow and slaving over two people that literally couldn't do anything themselves. "I could live with just the baby. But Shelly … Shelly was a handful. The constant tantrums and sudden mood changes … it was scary. One day we'd be making love in the moonlight and the next she'd have a cooks knife in my throat. It wasn't just hard … it wasn't safe. Michelle (Shelly's Mum) knew how to deal with the mood swings and the tantrums. She did warn me … but I took no notice. I was only 19 I thought I knew everything. Oh how wrong I was. Everything I said to Shelly seemed to be the wrong thing and when I did say the right things … it was at the wrong times. I just couldn't take it anymore."
That's right people Tim left Shelly. But don't call him a cold hardhearted bastard. He was only 19 at the time and the only person that could actually control Shelly was Michelle. So Tim called Michelle and asked for her help. Tim left to live on an Island near Australia with Keira and Michelle looked after Shelly. It wasn't until Keira was 14 that she moved back in with her mother. At this age they both worked together and believe it or not Shelly did eventually get better. But some things never really changed. Shelly still had mood swings, they just weren't as bad or as often and Shelly had learnt, with a lot of help, how to control her mood swings to some extent. Where the hell is this leading you are probably asking. Well … I suppose you could say that to some extent Keira was just like her mother. She had days where she couldn't control her emotions and other days she wouldn't talk, eat, sleep or do anything. She went on highs and she went on lows just like her mother. But Keira … unlike her Mother … had gotten help and the problem hadn't really changed her life that much. Sure she had a few tablets she bad to take but other than that life was the same. No body other than Ginny and Colin knew the whole story about Keira and her Mum. And other than Professor Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey Ginny and Colin were the only people that knew about the mood swings.
Ok peeps your probably thinking … Whoa … the chicks sped!!! Well she isn't ok … she is just like you and me except for … except for that. If you met her you probably wouldn't… actually I'll rephrase that … you definitely wouldn't know the difference unless she told you, which is probably why so little people actually knew. She was afraid of being judged just like you and me are afraid of being judged. Everyone is! It's a common fact of life. We judge and we get judged! Anyway Keira's Mother however … well Shelly did have a problem and it would be quite evident even if she hadn't told you. So there I told you … Keira's Mum is … well lets just say a little special.
Ginny watched Keira talking happily to Hermione but she could tell that behind the smile and laughs there really was something wrong … just like Colin had said. She didn't want to ask her in front of Hermione because … well … Hermione could be … just a little bit nosy at times. And talking to her before the party? That was out of the question. It would completely ruin the party mood and atmosphere then they both would be down and would have a crap time at the party. So … it was decided. She would have a little "dp" session with keira after the party … when they wouldn't have everyone bothering them and didn't have other things on their minds. Oh … the dilemmas of being a good friend.
"So why exactly are we shopping?" Hermione asked grabbing a very daggy blue T-Shirt snapping Ginny back into reality, "Is it for anything special?"
Keira and Ginny looked at each other and grinned, "Why yes it is. Colin is having a partay tonight and me and Gin Gin are invited." Keira explained putting the blue T-Shirt Hermione had picked up back on the shelf
"Naturally … because we are his best friends." Ginny said rolling her eyes and giving Keira a quizzical look. She knew it definitely wasn't Colin's party because there would be no way in hell that Colin's parents would let him have a party. Actually if he hadn't told them that he was staying at Keira's house he probably wouldn't even be going to the party tonight. Why was Keira lying to Hermione? Why didn't she just invite Hermione along? Then it clicked. Slytherin party. Hermione would crack if she found out if they were going to a Slytherin party. Oh … Keira really was more than just a pretty face.
"Oh … Ok … that sounds like fun!" Hermione said grabbing yet another daggy blue T-Shirt A/N: It's actually Pansy Parkinsons party that's why they didn't invite Hermione along and Ginny doesn't know that it's Pansy's party yet cos she hasn't actually read the invitation only Keira did. So they aren't being exclusive bitches … Cos Hermione would tell Mrs Weasley that it was a Slytherins partay then they wouldn't be allowed to go …
Ginny rolled her eyes grabbed the blue T-Shirt put it back on the shelf and led Hermione over to the more fashionable rack. "These Hermione would complement your body much better than those over there." 'And would open Ron's eye a little more' She said waving her hands over in the general direction to where the daggy blue t-shirts were, whacking some poor lady in the eye. Ginny looked at the old lady apologetically and tried to help her up but the old lady started screaming so without a second thought Ginny dragged Hermione over to the other side of the store, "Mad old coot!" she said a little flustered while Hermione just laughed staring over at the rack with the daggy blue T-Shirts longingly, "She was in the road … NOT me!" Hermione rolled her eyes as Ginny continued to rant and rave about the old lady.
After 5 hours of shopping the three girls were absolutely exhausted and were ready to leave Diagon Alley and head back to the ever so homely Burrow. Piled over with bags and bags of clothes and other accessories they bade their way through the crowd ready to go home and get dazzled up for the partay tonight (in Ginny and Keira's case anyway) and to do some Summer Homework (in Hermione's case.)
"That would have to be a record for me!" Keira said collapsing on her bed letting her bags fall to the ground, "I have never bought that much in my life." A/N: This reminds me of the time when my friend and I went shopping when we were 11 for an hour … only an hour … and together we spent on a total of $400. My Dad killed me … literally …… Yer I'm actually a ghost now … LOL! Anyway on with the story!
"Well I've never went shopping for clothes for more than an hour … so that definitely was a record for me!" Hermione said laughing collapsing next to Keira on the bed. Both Ginny and Keira's mouths dropped surprised. Sure they knew Hermione wasn't girliest of girls but only shopping for an hour… that was a crime. Completely unacceptable
"Are you serious?" Ginny said horrified she looked around the room disbelievingly, "Nah … your just joking with us aren't ya …" she said slapping Hermione on the back, "Knew that couldn't be true … It's like … I dunno … a crime or something"
"Ummmm … no Gin." Hermione said rolling her eyes, "I wasn't joking … There's nothing remotely funny about that."
"Whoa!!! Where the hell have you been living?"
Hermione laughed, "Just never really interested me I spose."
Never really interested her??? Yer ok … Can I just say something …WATEVA!!! How could shopping not interest you … you get to dazzle yourself up, meet lots of awesome cool hotties, socialize and … BUY CLOTHES!!! What is there not to be interested in???
"Yer … well … that really needs to change!!!" Keira said brushing her hair back into a ponytail, "Can you check the time for me Herms?"
"4 o'clock." Hermione said checking her Irish wristwatch (hahahaha … Irish wrist watch … get it … hahahaha)
"OH MY GOD!!!" Keira screamed jumping off the bed shaking Hermione wildly then proceeded to collapse to the ground (really really overdramatic … think Tom Cruise style) moaning and pulling at her hair with an exasperated expression on her face, "The partay is at 6!!!"
"ARGHH!" Ginny screamed throwing the brush at the window (obviously cracking it … for those who have the sense not to try that) emotionally, "We are never going to be ready in time!"
The two girls groaned and within 5 seconds if anyone had of looked in they would see complete and utter chaos. Two girls screaming and running around the room like two drunk hippos throwing clothes and make-up everywhere. Hermione however stood in the middle of the room looking utterly terrified. After a minute of being pushed and shoved around she turned around and made her escape. That's right folks … Hermione ran out of the room in complete hysterics. She had to be taken to St Mugo's to be given some calming potion and be put under emotional health watch 24/7. (Ok … I was just kiddin … but that would have been a nice twist to the story I think … my friend disagreed and made me change it … she should be taken to St Mugo's not Hermione (they both should. They could be Hospital partners) Anyway … that didn't happen UNFORTUNATELY cos now my story has no plot. It was all going to be based around that … but I have too think up something else. That's right folks … I only said it was gonna be D/G to get you to read it … it was actually gonna be Hermione/Dumbledore … another thing my friend said I should change. She reckoned it might scare a few people … How??? I have no idea. So I spose it will have to be G/D … no sense of adventure anymore … you guys suk … LOL just kiddin … keep on reading … you don't suk … I luv you all)
" Whose partay is this anyway?" Ginny asked slipping a blue and green dress over her head
"Ummm … I can't actually remember but I can find out for you." Keira said putting some mascara on her eyelashes, "Actually no … I couldn't be bothered getting up and getting the invitation … it's over there though. You should be able to read it yourself" She said pointing to the counter stopping putting the mascara on to laugh at her witty comment
Ginny rolled her eyes and grabbed the green invitation and guessing from the colouring it was probably a Slytherins party. She guessed right. What a coincidence.
Dear Gin,
I told you last year about how my brother had an annual party a week after school finished! Well even though he has been out of school for a few years now he still has it but it's basically mine now. It's still pretty wild … cause he and his mates still rock up! God they have no lives! LOL! Anyway it's Friday night 6 til … whenever I suppose. You could stay the night if you want!
Oh! I almost forgot. You can bring your friend Keira and that Colin guy … they seem kinda cool but Colin can't stay the night for obvious reasons. Keira can if she wants. It doesn't actually start until 7 but you have to be there early for moral support and all that crap.
Ummm other things you need to know … if you do want to stay the night … don't bother with clothes and stuff I have plenty. Parkinson Mansion … you already knew that. You don't have to pretend that you aren't a Weasley my bro and his mates aren't Death Eaters and neither are my parents.
You have to wear a mask though … and bring bikinis cause we have a pool … and obviously wear waterproof make-up. Not that muggle crap.
I think I have told you everything …If I haven't …it probably wasn't important.
Luv lots
Pansy
'Whoa … she actually invited me to that. That is unexpected. And the fact that she wants me to come over early … we must be good friends.' Ginny thought excitedly. Ginny and Pansy had only gotton to know each other because they both liked the table at the back of the library to study at and after weeks and weeks of fighting over it they both agreed to share. a.k.a Ginny on one side of the table as far away from Pansy and Pansy on the other side as far away as Ginny. Believe it or not … they actually started to converse … then they started to talk (yes there is a difference) then they started to joke then … BOOM … WHAT DO YOU KNOW … they were friends.
"Oh my God!" Ginny stared at the piece of paper, "This is like the biggest partay of the year Keira."
"I know!" she said grinning and hugged her from the other side of the pile of clothes that was in the middle of the room, "Because we were invited to this it basically means we are gonna be invited to all the other big partays as well! You rock Gin!"
"I hope she has a hot brother with hot friends." Ginny said laughing as Keira tripped over the pile of clothes
"Yer me too." Keira said laughing as she struggled to get up form under the pile of clothes
"OH MY GOD!!!" she screamed, "YOU'RE HERE!" she said grabbing Ginny in a breath-wrenching hug her face filled with excitement, "Hey Keira. Hey Colin" She said giving Keira and Colin a little hug as they weren't really that good friends, "So are you staying the night?"
"Yer we are but Colin has to go at 12 because he has some family gathering thing tomorrow or somthin like that." Ginny said following Pansy out to the partay area … the POOL
"Awww that sucks." Pansy said not really meaning it, at that stage anyway, offering them all a glass of wine
"Yer it does." Colin said surprising everyone by taking the offered glass. Colin wasn't a big drinker; actually to be honest Colin hardly ever drank. He was the one who didn't drink and just made sure Keira and Ginny didn't get completely smashed. It wasn't like Keira and Ginny forced him to do that for them, they had offered to take it in turns, but he had refused. Being the gentleman he was. Colin looked at the glass for a while before sculling the whole lot down in one hit. Pansy giggled watching Colin intently before mimicking his actions. Colin laughed grabbing another glass of wine and challenging her to a sculling match. Ginny and Keira rolled their eyes but watched and cheered anyway. It was obvious what was happening here.
"The party probably wont actually kick off until 7:30, 8 or so … but that don't matter it probably wont end until 6 or so in the morning … so it probably would be better if you stayed the night." Pansy said grabbing onto Colin tightly so she didn't fall into the pool laughing the whole time
"How much wine have you had already?" Keira asked
"Only a bottle… or two." Pansy said looking around the room sheepishly but was immediately brought back down to earth as she tripped over her own feet and fell into the pool. Ginny rolled her eyes and was about to help her out but Colin beat her to it grabbing Pansy securely around the waist and pulling her out without so much of a grimace. Colin studied Pansy for a while before pulling out a bottle of purple liquid opening the lid and giving it to Pansy to drink. Pansy, surprisingly trusting of Colin, sculled the whole lot without even asking what it was. Everyone winced as she soon spat out half of it spraying mainly over Colin who didn't look like he cared that much, "What the bloody hell is that?"
Colin rolled his eyes, "Not sure exactly." He said shrugging taking the bottle back muttering a spell under his breath which filled the bottle with more purple liquid, "Stole it from Mum … but it's supposed to neutralize the effects of alcohol. I figured you'd probably want a clean start for the party."
"Awww your so sweet." Pansy said hugging tightly
Ginny and Keira looed at each other with raised eyebrows and took that as their cue to leave. This sudden attachment had surprised Ginny. Pansy wasn't the type to be obsessed with guys and Colin wasn't the type to be obsessed with girls. (Ok I know that in the actual books Pansy is a little bit of a tart but she isn't in this one … Ok … Ok) They were both the studying type who just watched sadly as their friends got their hearts broken and had to help pick up the pieces and wipe up the tears. Ginny was happy that they could find someone who … may just be the right people for each other. She couldn't help but smile at the thought … the two of them had just clicked and they had only really really known each other for an hour. 'It would have to be an hour wouldn't it?' Ginny thought looking at her watch and sur enough it was 7 o'clock. The doorbell would start ringing any time now. The party was starting. Keira must have thought the same thing because she was now looking in the mirror fixing her hair and make-up making annoyed faces when her mascara wasn't going on the way she wanted it to and when her hair wasn't sitting in the right place. Ginny could still hear Pansy giggling from the Lounge Room and hearing it now … she wasn't so sure it was actually the alcohol that had got Pansy so hyped. Ginny wasn't able to
