Chapter 2: Freak Show!

Disclaimer: This lady named J.K. Rowling beat me to it :/

It felt like I would never be happy again. My worst nightmares had crawled to the front of my mind and were there, as bright as day. Someone pulled out their wand and shouted "Lumos!" and everything went back to the way it was before the train stopped. It was Natalie London, my best friend and roommate. Except not everything was back to normal, Malfoy , Crabbe, and Goyle had somehow made their way into our compartment and were sprawled out on the floor, sweaty and pale. And that's hard for Draco Malfoy to be paler than he already is.

"What do you think you're in here?" Colin asked standing up letting go of my hand.

"We…we got lost! We thought that this was our compartment Creevey." retorted Malfoy with a glare in our direction. He noticed that we were holding hands and gave me a hurt look like I had punched him in the gut(which I was thinking about).

"Sure big bad Malfoy wasn't scared of the dementor?" Colin smirked.

"n...n...no."

"Whatever. Get lost Malfoy." And Colin sat back down and slipped his hand into mine again. It sent shivers through my body. I didn't know Colin thought about me that way. Malfoy stood up, brushed himself off, turned and glared at Colin one last time and walked through the door with his two cronies following closely. I was brought out of my thoughts by Natalie's voice.

"Everyone ok?" we all nodded but none of us said anything. I looked up at Natalie to see her looking at me with a puzzled facial expression.

"You ok Natalie?" I asked.

"Yeah. Hey Ginny can I talk to you outside?"

"Sure." I said as Colin let go of my hand and I walked to the door. We stepped into the hallway and headed towards the open car where they had tables. She led me over to a table in the corner and sat down. I took the seat across from her wondering what this was about.

"What's up with you and Colin, Ginny?"

I blushed slightly "I'm not really sure Nat. All I know is that he took my hand when it went dark and didn't let go of it until I came out here with you."

"Well he wrote me a lot over the summer asking me about you and advice on how to ask you out."

"What?"

"Yeah Gin. He's liked you since the end of last year but didn't think he had a chance because you were still obsessed with Harry then."

"I never knew he thought of me like that...but I'm not sure I want anything more than a friendship."

"I'm just warning you so that you won't be completely unprepared when he asks you."

"Thanks Nat." we stood, hugged, and headed back towards our compartment to change into our robes. I had decide that I didn't need to worry Natalie with Draco.. I mean Malfoy yet. I'm sure it was nothing. I mean he cant like me, can he? His Father had tried to kill me last year just to being back You-Know-Who. And a Malfoy like a Weasley? Unheard of. Oh well I'll think about it later. Entering the compartment I sat back down next to Colin and acted like nothing had happened. We all changed into our robes and had just sat back down when the train pulled into Hogsmede Station. We were home.
