What If…

Ginny Weasley was very happy. Truth be told she was skipping, doing flips, and jumping around. Her older brother Ron asked if anything was wrong with her. She simply said "Nope." She lay in the grass, watching the sunset. Everything was perfect. The sunlight dyed the blue sky a light orange, the grass was green, the grasshoppers were chirping, and best of all Ginny had the answer she hoped for. The day was so perfect that she decided to try and draw it using the art kit that Ron gave her for her birthday.

Harry Potter was very happy. Truth be told he hadn't argued with his sister since he got home! His mother kept asking if he was alright. He simply said "Yes." He lay on his bed watching TV. Everything was perfect. His window was open, letting some golden rays pour into his room, there was a new Friends on, and tomorrow was the annual Zero-Hour dance. Every year, before everyone went back to Hogwarts, the pavilion threw a big dance for all the students. It had been where Harry had first met Ginny. Harry smiled as he remembered.

"Lavender, for the 67th time tonight, no I will not make out with you!" "Come on Harry, I know how you feel about me and I am rather flattered." "If you knew how I felt then you sure as hell wouldn't be." Lavender gave Harry a shocked look and walked away nose held high up in the air. Seamus and Dean were talking to Hermione and another girl he didn't recognize. She had long red hair and was the prettiest girl Harry had ever seen. He began walking towards them. He didn't know what to say but instinct was driving him. He said "Hi Hermione. Enjoying vacation?" "I certainly am. But I shudder to think what my grades will become if I don't study." "O….K…. And you are?" "Gin-gin-Ginny Weasley." Stuttered the red headed girl. Harry tried to keep his cool after hearing the voice of an angel. "What's your name?" "Harry Potter." They then turned to there friends and began talking. Seamus and Dean asked why Lavender was crying but Harry's eyes kept darting towards Hermione and Ginny, who was now red as her hair and giggling like mad. He didn't see her again until the end of the dance when an eardrum-shattering scream pierced the air. Harry thought that someone had attacked Ginny, but when he got to were the scream came from he found a slytherin named Draco Malfoy lying on the ground, curled in a ball, holding his balls. "What happened?" asked a very amused Harry. "Well," said Hermione "Draco had been asking Ginny to dance all night and after the 92nd time she got a little angry and need him in the balls." Seamus and Dean were on the ground laughing there head off and Harry just stood there, hands in his pocket, eyes darting all around the room to find Ginny but no such luck.

He met up with her again at Hogwarts. Her escapades didn't stop there. She had been daring enough to roam the halls in the dead of night, and smart enough for the teachers to consider letting her skip a grade. It wasn't long before she was dubbed the 4th and final Marauder.

Harry looked at his clock. It was almost time for dinner. As he got up something hit him, "TOMORROW IS THE DANCE! OH CRAP!" Harry needed a game plan to avoided Lavender.

A/N: Sorry about this chapter but I felt it was necessary to show how the two met. Review please!
