"Ouch!" Draco said.
"What is it this time Malfoy?"
"My ears keep popping and it hurts. Remind me to never go on an airplane again."
Ginny just rolled her eyes and turned towards Dominick.
"Hey Dock?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah, Ginny?"
"How long is the flight to the US?"
"About 5 hours."
"What?! That's way too long," Draco complained.
A stewardess came out from behind a curtain and called for everybody's attention. "Thank you all for choosing to fly British Air. If you haven't noticed there are mini TVs above most of your heads. We will be starting the movie Cruel Intentions in a few moments. Thank you."
The movie came up on the screen with a flash and Draco and Ginny tried not to look surprised.
"It's called a television. They are rather interesting if you ask me," Dock whispered to them.
They couldn't help but overhear a conversation by two American teenage girls that were sitting in front of them.
"I'm telling you, Ben Affleck is so much cuter than Ryan Phillipe," one of the girls said.
"No he's not. Just look at how hot Ryan is in this movie. He's just so… sinister looking. Have you seen him smile? I think not if you say Ben is hotter than him. Who cares if he played some war hero in the movie Pearl Harbor, so did Josh Hartnett."
"Josh is an overall hottie, but Ben is just drop dead gorgeous."
"Who are they talking about?" Draco whispered to Ginny.
"I don't know who Ben and Josh are, but Ryan is the cute guy from this movie," Ginny replied.
"Oh."
Draco was currently having a debate in his mind about Ginny.
How can she say that he's cute? What about me?
She doesn't even like you!
Shut up! I bet she does like me. Who couldn't? I have looks to kill, (Yeah he does) I'm smart, and I'm very charming.
A little self-confident are we? Does she even know that you've liked her since you were in your fourth year?
1 How could I? Do you not remember that she's a Weasley and I'm a Malfoy? Family rivalry is the key words here. I don't even know why father would let Dumbledore and the other teachers send me to a muggle school. What would mother say?
2 Mother was the one to convince father to let you do this, remember?
3 "Draco are you okay?" Ginny snapped him out of his thoughts.
"What? Yeah I'm fine."
"Really? I was trying to tell you that the plane will be landing in a couple of minutes like the stewardess just said."
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking."
"You were making all these weird faces like somebody was insulting you or something."
"Or something."

"So that's how muggles travel. Got any questions?" Dock asked.
"Where are we?" Draco said.
"We're in Malibu, California. Any other questions?"
"How long is the trip to your home?" Ginny questioned.
"About ten minutes if you'll follow me," he answered.
"You live right next to the airport?"
"Actually about 70 miles away if you want to drive, but I have my own way of transportation. Follow me through here." He said pointing to a door.
They stepped through and about 8 men came up to them. Dock addressed a man that was wearing a long black trench coat.
"Charles, please escort Draco and Ginny to the helipad. I will be there in a minute."
"Right this way," Charles said.
"What's a helipad?" Draco whispered to Ginny.
"I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see," Ginny replied back.
They followed Charles through two big steel double doors.
"Your transportation awaits you. Mr. Parker will join you in a moment. Have a nice day."
They were outside on a big stretch of pavement with the letter H on it.
"You think it means Hogwarts?" Ginny asked.
"Actually it means helicopter. It's a muggle way of flying. Comes in quite useful."
Dock was standing right behind them.
"This big piece of pavement flies?"
"No, that flies." He pointed up into the air where a metal object was coming towards them. It landed in front of them, blowing their hair in all different directions.
"Mr. Parker sir, your carriage has arrived," a man from the helicopter said.
"Well than Bart my friend, take us home."
They climbed on board and put their luggage in back of the seats (it's a very spacious helicopter) and looked out the window and took in their surroundings.
"If you look out the right window, you'll see where you'll be staying those many months."
Ginny leaned over Draco and looked out the window. There was a very large house that had to be at least four stories tall. It sat on a cliff right next to the ocean. Waves were crashing up against the cliff wall.
"We're going to live there?" Ginny croaked out.
"I know it's kind of small compared to Malfoy Manor but… it's all I got," Dock said.
"I think its great," Ginny replied.
"It is," Draco agreed.
The helicopter landed and they got out and brought their luggage up to the house.
"Now the pool is in there," he pointed to a building right next to the house. " The tennis court is out by the gardens, along with the basket ball court. And that right there", he pointed to a 70 ft high building, "is your indoor quidditch pitch. It has all the latest brooms, clubs, safety gear, and outfits galore. Now lets go inside and get something to eat."
…At the dinner table …
"I'm sorry I'm late but I… shit! Oh, sorry for my language, I forgot that you were coming. I'm Anita Parker, but call me Anne."
"It's nice to meet you Anne," Draco and Ginny said, shaking her hand.
"Now I want to have a discussion with you two about going to school tomorrow. When the other people there ask you where you went to school before moving here, tell them that you went to London Private School for intellectual extraordinaires. Do you got that? Good, now off to bed with you. Go down that hall and take a right. At the end of that hallway there should be two doors right across from each other with your names on it. There's a bathroom down there too. Have a good nights rest."
"G' Night Dock, G' Night Anne." Draco and Ginny said.
"Well Draco it's been a long day and I think that when I lay down I'm not going to get up for a couple of months," Ginny joked.
Draco smiled and said, "Goodnight Gin, sleep tight and don't let the manticores bite." He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Ginny walked into her room and was surprised by what she saw. There was a king size four-poster bed and a huge terrarium with her snake in it.
"Goodnight everybody," she whispered to nobody.
Everybody knew Ginny as the sweet little girl who opened the Chamber of Secrets because Tom Riddle took over her body and mind. They say that the snake did all the killing because that's what it was trained to do. They were wrong. Ginny was the one who told it to do attack those people. Tom Riddle made her do that, but did you ever wonder why Lucius Malfoy gave her the diary? It's because she already knew how to speak to snakes.
