A/N: I don't own Harry Potter.

"GINNY! WAKE UP!"

Ginny felt herself being pulled back into consciousness as the voices retreated to the back of her mind. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the lights had turned back on. She realized that she was on the floor with Neville and Lupin staring at her. She slowly stood up and sat back in her seat shaking. She didn't say anything as she looked around the compartment, Ginny saw that Harry was also on the ground and was regaining consciousness.

Ron and Hermione helped Harry sit back in his seat, and told him what had happened. Harry kept saying that he heard a woman screaming for her life before he passed out. Ginny was busy looking out the window when she noticed that Lupin was offering her a large piece of chocolate. She took the chocolate and bit into it as Lupin left the compartment. Ginny left the compartment to change into her robes as Ron and Hermione explained to Harry what had happened.

As she walked towards the restroom to change she could feel stares from the people in the compartments. She grabbed Eleni and darted into the bathroom quickly as the train began to slow down. Ginny made it out of the bathroom in time to catch one of the carriages. When they arrived at the castle she was pulled aside by McGonagall, Harry, and Hermione. They headed to McGonagall's classroom where Madam Pomfrey was already waiting for them. McGonagall talked to Hermione privately in her office while Pomfrey looked over Harry and Ginny.

Pomfrey told McGonagall that Harry could attend the feast, but that Ginny would have to stay overnight. Ginny followed Pomfrey to the Hospital Wing without complaint as Harry, Hermione, and McGonagall headed to the Feast. As soon as she was in bed she was immediately given a Dreamless Sleeping Potion. The next day when she woke up Pomfrey gave her a tray loaded with breakfast, and a large slab of chocolate that she had to finish if she wanted to leave the Hospital Wing. Ginny quickly finished her breakfast and headed to Gryffindor Tower to change into her uniform.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize that the Fat Lady hadn't asked for the password and simply let her in. She quickly changed her clothes and ran to Potions class, arriving as just as Snape was entering the classroom. Throughout the class she ignored the stares from everyone and worked on her potion. As she got up to leave Snape called her to wait. She had developed a special bond with Snape the previous year after the Chamber. Snape waited for all the students to leave before he approached her.

"Ms. Weasley," said Snape standing in front of her desk. "Your parents have informed the Headmaster and the teachers that you have not spoken at all ever since the end of last year. If you ever feel the need to talk to someone remember that my door is always open if you wish to talk."

Ginny nodded her head in understanding and managed to give him a small smile. She pulled out a parchment and a quill and wrote something on the paper. She handed him the paper and waited for his response.

Is it possible for me to take the exams, that we were suppose to take last year? I want to take them to see if I could skip second year and be promoted to third year? Would I be able to be resorted if I did skip?

"It is possible for you to take the exams from last year," answered Snape. "I could talk to Dumbledore and McGonagall about letting you take these tests. But, I'm curious why would you want to be resorted?"

Ginny took the paper back and wrote: I'm not suppose to be in Gryffindor. The hat gave the choice to choose from any of the houses. I choose Gryffindor because I thought that's what I wanted, and I didn't want to disappoint my parents. Also I've come to realize that the Gryffindors are not the most attentive people in the world. Some of the Slytherins even began to ask me if I was ill way long before any of my brothers noticed anything.

To say that Snape was shocked was an understatement. Flabbergasted would have been a better word. He was doing a perfect imitation of a gold-fish, and this sent Ginny in a fit of giggles.

"Well Ms. Weasley you continue to astound me," smiled Snape. "I will talk to Minevra as soon as I can. Here's a note that you can give to Professor Binns to excuse you from being late."

"Thank you Professor," grinned Ginny speaking for the first time in three months. She left the classroom laughing at the look on Snape's face. All of the teachers noticed a difference in Ginny's behavior by dinner time. What surprised them even more was that Ginny had opted to sit with the Slytherins instead of with the Gryffindors. What astounded them even more was that the Slytherins actually welcomed her.

This was short lived because the trio had just decided to walk into the Great Hall, and saw Ginny talking and laughing with Draco Malfoy.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU"RE DOING GINNY!" roared Ron approaching them. "STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER MALFOY!" By now Ron's face had passed red and was turning a purple color.

"What does it look like Ronald," replied Ginny calmly. "It's just two friends that are talking and laughing together."

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

"Why should she Weasel?" asked Blaise. "They're just talking. That is was friends do or family what family does."

"SHUT UP ZABINI!"

"I suggest that you and your friends leave me and my friends alone Ronald," said Ginny coldly. "You lost the right to interfere in my life last year."

"What do you mean?" asked Ron nervously.

"Well I remember something along the lines of you saying this to me last year," said Ginny glaring at him. "Go away. You are an embarrassment to me. Can't you make your own friends? Any of these things ring a bell dear brother of mine?"

"YOU SAID THESE THINGS TO GINNY!" yelled Fred and George, who had approached the Slytherin table when Ron started yelling.

"Amongst other things," responded Ginny glaring at Ron. "Now if you could do me a favor Fred get this moron away from me before I do something that I may regret."

Fred and George nodded at Ginny and Grabbed Ron by the arms to drag him away from Ginny. "Let's go have a brotherly chat Ron."

"Let go of me!" yelled Ron struggling to get away from the twins. "Why are you listening to her anyway she's just a silly little girl"

It was pretty obivious to everyone in the Hall that Ron should not have said that because at that moment all the in the Great Hall shattered. As the glass shattered the sky also turned stormy, the foundation of Hogwarts started shaking, the flames from the candles flared, and an unnatural wind blew. The students also noticed that Ginny's eyes grew darker in rage, and Ron immediately began to cower away from Ginny. In a blink of an eye, Ginny had Ron by his throat dangling a few inches off the ground.

"If you ever call me that again," whispered Ginny, in a deadly voice that sent shivers up everyone's spine, while holding her wand between his eyes. "I will make sure that you never have children and wish that you had never been born. I am no longer a Gryffindor and never was suppose to be one in the beginning. I am now a Slytherin so you best watch what you say or you WILL regret it."

Ginny let him go and walked out of the Hall without so much as a backwards glance. Everyone in the Hall was more surprised at the fact that a girl as tiny as Ginny was able to left someone Ron's size without magic; than at the fact that sweet, innocent, little Ginny was now a Slytherin and not a Gryffindor. At the Great Table it was a different story, Dumbledore was gazing at Ginny with a look that most would have associated with a collector that was looking at a rare item. Snape with admiration, and McGonagall with sadness to see that such a talented young witch was no longer in her House but in Snape's.

A:N I will try to update every week but there are no promises that they will happen. Thank you to all that have read this story. I have the entire story outlined but it just needs to be typed. The reason why Ginny refused to speak in the beginning will soon be revealed, a new character will be introduced, and an explanation of the things that happened after Ron called Ginny a "silly little girl."
