Chapter 10
Summer Vacation
Ok. I'm back from Lake Tahoe. This is the tenth chappie of the fic blah…blah…blah. You know the rest. I'd like to thank all of my reviewers. All that stuff. This chappie they go on summer break. It's a little before they go, but they eventually go. She's still with both Draco and Seamus. She doesn't like Seamus anymore but that doesn't matter. Also her cat turns up in this chappie. Do you all remember her cat?
A week later, Ginny sat under a tree on the lake. Tomorrow, she would have to face her mom and dad. 'Maybe I'll just go back to normal over the summer and then become myself again when I get back.' Ginny thought, 'No I couldn't do that. It's not my fault I'm myself, and I'm not afraid of mom and dad anymore. Right?' Ginny sighed; she had no idea what to do.
Just then Draco walked over to their secluded shady tree corner and motioned for her to come over. Ginny went and sat, enjoying the feel of Draco's strong arms around her.
"Summers almost here." Ginny said unhappily
"Don't worry Red, you'll live." Draco answered back to her holding her tightly
"I'll have to see you at least once." Ginny said still unhappy
"I will owl you one day during the summer and you will meet me in the Leaky Cauldron." Draco said, "If you don't come I will be forced to go to your house and capture you."
"I'll be fine with that." Ginny said, finally smiling, "I'll be waiting for your owl."
"And that owl will come, don't worry." Draco said rising, "I got to get back to Blaise, we're gonna go flying."
"Ok babe, see you later." Ginny said leaning against the trunk, she had a lot to think about. ooooooooo00000000000oooooooooooooooooooo00000000000oooooooooooooooo
The next day, Ginny woke up bright and early; she wanted to get all of her packing done before everyone else woke up so she could have some more time with Draco. Yawning she walked to the bathroom. After she took her shower she got dressed in her school skirt and shirt and her robe which she liked to keep open.
After she packed all of her stuff she walked down to the Great Hall. It was all empty except for one person sitting at the Slytherin table. Ginny walked over and sat down.
"Hey babe." Ginny said quietly, leaning over and kissing Draco on the lips.
"Hey." Draco said after they broke apart smiling slightly, "Do you and Kathleen want to sit with me and Blaise on the way to Hogwarts?" He asked after swallowing.
"Does Blaise know about, you know, us?" Ginny asked tentatively
"Of corse," Draco said, "he also kind of likes Kathleen. He wanted you to introduce him."
Ginny laughed, "Well then why not?" she said, "Me and Kathleen would be honored to sit with you and Blaise during the ride back." She stated formally.
After breakfast Ginny went for a ride on her broom. It was long and she had time to recollect all of her memories of the previous year. First the whole Harry thing, and the whole Sheryl and Kathleen thing, and Dean and Seamus. Then of corse; Draco. She didn't know what to do about Draco. He wasn't the mean, nasty, horrible person Ginny had always thought of him being. He was kind, friendly, and passionate. Neither Dean nor Seamus could compete with that, "but it will never work out." Ginny said out loud as she skimmed over the forest, "It never could." She said again. Her whole family thought that Draco would turn out just like his father. Before the war they all thought he would become a Death Eater. Ginny now knew that that was far from true, very far. Draco was kind, and he would never hurt someone willingly, 'unless they made him mad.' She reminder herself, 'Oh well. I'll think of solutions when they need to be thought of.' Ginny though, and with that she turned around and headed back to the castle. ooooooooo00000000000oooooooooooooooooooo00000000000oooooooooooooooo
The ride from Hogwarts was fun and enjoyable, Blaise and Draco made good company and Kathleen seemed to like Blaise. 'They might just get together after all.' Ginny though when they had first met. Blaise had looked stunned when Kathleen had smiled warmly and said hello. All in all the trip was way better than any of the ones that she had had with Harry, Ron and Hermione. When they got to Kings Cross Ginny had felt sad that the trip was ending, but Draco, Kathleen, and even Blaise had said they would write and Ginny had promised the same thing to each.
When Ginny stepped off of the train she walked over to her mom who she could see already saying hi to Ron, Harry, and Hermione.
"Ginny! What have you done to yourself!" He mother practically yelled at her when she saw Ginny walking over to her, "And what are you wearing?" she said when Ginny got closer looking at Ginny's tight, short, jean mini-shirt and her tight, light blue, halter.
"Nothing mum." Ginny said looking blushing but keeping her head high
"Fine." Mrs. Weasley said shortly, "Look who's spending the summer with us." She said in a cheery voice pointing towards Hermione and Harry
"Great, I get to spend my whole the summer with Him, Bookworm, and The-boy-who-refuses-to-die. This is going to be sooooooo fun." Ginny said in an obviously sarcastically happy voice.
Mrs. Weasley gasped at Ginny's names for Ron, Hermione, and Harry, "Ginny! Be nicer there practically like family now." She said to Ginny hugging Harry around the shoulders.
"Then I can hate them like I do the rest of my family." Ginny said, "Can we go?" she asked not waiting for the answer and walking toward the exit.
When they got home Ginny said, "Don't even think of going into my room unless you wanna deal with Cerri, Xena and me, and I don' think you want that." Referring to her cat, her snake, and herself. Then stormed up to her room.
After the war, the Weasleys had gotten a lot of money. Instead of moving into a new home, they fixed up the Burrow. Thy added a lot of rooms here and there, a couple of floors, and one bathroom for every bed room. Ginny was so happy to get up to her room and lay on her bed. Before she got on her bed she ran over to the glass case by the window and took out Xena. Xena was a ten-foot long twenty-pound boa and a gift from Bill.
For a while Ginny hadn't liked her snake at all, calling her, "it" instead of Xena and never taking her out. Finally, Xena had grown on her and she always missed her when she went away even if it was for a couple minutes.
Reaching into the case she pulled out Xena. Her scales were sparkly and Ginny could tell she had just shed, "Hello my sweet pet." Ginny cooed to Xena as she put her around her shoulders. Xena responded with a couple flicks of her tongue and rapping her tail around Ginny's arm.
Instead of lying on her bed Ginny decided to go downstairs and freak out Hermione and Harry, no one else in her family except for Charlie, Bill, the twins and herself like Xena.
Walking down stairs she almost ran headfirst into Harry.
"Look who it is." Ginny said nastily, "Joy it's pot-head."
"Ginny." Harry began but Ginny cut him off
"Don't you dare call me Ginny." Ginny said, "To people I don't like I'm Virginia, and that means you." She added to Harry and tried to push past him, but Harry stood still.
"I'd like to settle this dispute between us." He said, "Ron, Hermione and I aren't going to be there next year and you might need someone to talk to." He said
"Like you?" Ginny asked incredulously, "You think that I'm going to accept this apology? Is this supposed to make me say 'Oh Harry, I'm so sorry, do me now?' If you thought that then you were way too mistaken." Ginny said stepping forward so she was almost an inch away from Harry's face, "I hold grudges. I don't forget them. I will not accept you apology and I will not be calling on you of Hermione or even Ron for help, if I even need any. If you ever make me angry again, then you will meet a side of Virginia Weasley that you don't ever want to meet." Ginny said in a low malicious whisper, "And I'm not joking." She added before pushing past Harry with the arm that didn't have Xena on it and walking down stairs.
When Ginny walked into the kitchen she saw Hermione sitting at the kitchen table, "What's up." Ginny said walking to the refrigerator, "Oh and if you were wondering, I don't want an answer to that." She said as Hermione's mouth opened, "Told my brother and Pot-head yet?" Ginny asked
"No," said Hermione, "and like I said before, I'm not going to."
"They will find out eventually though." Ginny said frankly, "See ya'" she said as she walked out of the kitchen drink in hand.
When she walked into the living room she saw Fred and George sitting with their backs to her. Ginny snuck up behind them and yelled, "BOO!"
Fred and George turned around with startled looks on their faces, seeing Ginny they both stared at her
"Ginny? What did you do?" George asked
"It's the new me." Ginny said twirling
"I can see that." Fred said dryly
"Why?" asked George
"Because Pot-head, bookworm and Him are both stupid asses." Ginny said, her mood getting darker almost immediately
Fred and George both widened their eyes, "What happened?" George asked worriedly
"Pot-head cheated on me with Miss Cho Chang." Ginny said contempt in her voice, "And he thinks I'm going to accept his stupid apology."
George widened his eyes and Fred looked furious, "Damn straight you shouldn't accept his apology!" Fred stated
"Fred is right, did you tell mum?" George said
"No. But she knows something is up because I was practically stabbing Harry and Hermione and Ron with daggers just with my look and words."
"Good job Ginny!" George said with enthusiasm, "What did Hermione do?" he asked puzzled
"She told me to accept Harry's apology and try and get him back." Ginny said frankly
"Well now I get it." George said, "Can I see Xena? I haven't seen her in a long time." He asked
"Sure George." Ginny said untangling Xena and handing her to him, "You can always take her out when I'm not there," Ginny said, "She likes you enough."
"Were not home that often, but when we are I will." George said
"Oh!" Ginny said, smacking her hand to her forehead, "All of you, I would like you to meet Cerri" Ginny said formally picking Cerri up and handing her to Fred
"Where did you get her?" Fred asked petting Cerri and scratching her behind her ears
"Blaise gave her to me for Christmas" Ginny said, smiling
"Blaise?" Fred asked, "As in Blaise Zabini?"
"Yeah," Ginny said, sitting down next to George, "we've been friends since the first day of this school year."
"Well if he's nice to you then I have no problem with it." Fred said
"Fred is right, if he's nice then be friends with him." George said
"Cool, I knew you would understand" Ginny said, smiling and hugging Both of them, "I'm gonna go back upstairs and probably take a nap or something." Ginny said getting Xena from George and Cerri from Fred and heading up the stairs.
Up in her room Ginny found Shelty and two unknown owls. One of them she recognized as Kathleen's owl. Laughing, she opened the letter from Blaise first it read:
Dear Ginny,
How are you? I know it's only been an hour or so but I just wanted to see how you were surviving with Harry and his groupies. I was wondering if you wanted to have a double date with Draco and Kathleen and I? Owl me back if you do because it seems like it would be fun. We can go to muggle London, I will be fun.
From,
Blaise
After Ginny read this letter she laughed and thought it so Blaise to send her a letter an hour after she last saw him. She quickly scribbled that she would love to double date and that he should owl her the date and time. Then gave the letter to the owl that had delivered Blaise's letter.
Then she opened Kathleen's letter it read:
Dear Ginny,
Just checking up. It's only been a couple hours and I just wanted to see how you were putting up with everyone. Blaise probably already told you this but were together. It's funny how fast it happened but it just did. So were going to double date with u and Draco. Hope you stay happy.
Until our double date,
Kathy
Ginny smiled at her friends' letter, Kathleen had some charm. Just like that, she had gotten together with one of the hottest people at the school. Ginny quickly scribbled that she would see Kathy soon and for her not to worry about Harry and them because she had it under control.
Ginny looked at the last owl. It was beautifully regal, with its black feather and sharp beak. "Lets see what's next." Ginny said to Xena, picking up the letter and opening it.
Dear Red,
Hope your good. I miss you already. It's been so short of a time but it feels so long. I miss the color of your hair, seeing as I only see blond people in my manor. You have to double date with Blaise, Kathleen, and I, just so I can see you. We could also have a date by our selves. Miss you so much already.
Love,
Draco
Ginny smiled at this letter also. It was so sweet of him to write it. Ginny quickly wrote him a letter back saying that of corse she would double date with them, and single date.
After she gave the letter to the black owl she sat down on her bed feeling lonely.
Ok, that's the end of this chappie. I know the end is crappy but I'm sorry. Review, blah blah blah. All that stuff. If you didn't like it then too bad. If you did then great. I'd like to thank all of my reviewers and Gwen and Talya. Just because.
