Dragon Rod

Hogwarts express

"Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Harry, Fred, George, and Percy, wake up now or you'll be late for school or work." Molly yelled from the bottom of the steps. Percy was head of magical creatures department; Fred and George were working in a joke shop in Diagon alley, until they got enough money to open up their own shop. All the sleepy faces sat at the table, barley awake, when a very well rested happy Percy strode into the room.

"Morning mom. Can't stay long, want to get a new start." Percy said as he grabbed some breakfast and apparated to work. Mr. Weasley left earlier, some trouble with the Creatures department.

"Bye Percy, have a good day." Molly called after him, "Now I want you to bring your trunks down and put them into the cars, we need to leave in ten minutes if you don't want to miss the train." All the kids ran upstairs to get ready. Ginny put on some flared genes and a blue tee shirt. Hermione put on her black ¾ length skirt and orange sweater. Ginny took her hair out of the French braid and put it in a loose ponytail on the back of her neck. Hermione left her hair down and brushed it to its normally poofy stage. The girls came down stairs with their trunks and got into the car.  Ginny sat up front with her mother and the three sat in the back.

"Draco, honey wake up." Narcissa called. Draco climbed out of bed and got dressed. He put on a black silk shirt with black slacks. He slicked back his hair and went down for breakfast.

"Oh, you look so handsome. Hurry up and eat the car is waiting out side for us." Narcissa said and left the room. Draco finished his food and went outside to the car, he sat inside and his mother told the driver to take them to the station.

"Mom, what's a dragon rod?" Draco asked, disturbing the silence.

"What do you mean?" She asked trying to avoid the subject, which Draco noticed.

"That's exactly what I mean, I know you know so please tell me."

"Alright, but you have to promise me, not to say a word about this to you father, he would not have wanted me to tell you."

"I promise."

"Well it all started with an old legend…" Narcissa told the whole story that miss. Weasley told last night. The story ended up taking the whole trip. Draco listened intently and took in every word. His dream was now making sense to him, well more than it did when he had it.

As the car pulled into the station Draco and his mother got out, she got him a trolley and left him.

"I'll see you at Christmas."

"Bye." Draco replied. Then he walked onto the platform. Draco took his trunk and got onto the train, he walked down the isle to the very last cart and sat down in it, and changed into his Hogwarts uniform opened his books that he got last night and started reading.

Ginny lugged her Trunk onto the train and looked for an empty compartment, none were to be found so she went into the last one. Ginny wanted to be alone and think about the dream she had had. Ginny threw her trunk inside and looked around, it looked empty so she climbed in.

"What are you doing Weasley?" Drawled a familiar voice. Ginny jumped at the sound of it.

"Nothing." Ginny said timidly, she had always been afraid of Draco and he was scaring her right now. His cold gray eyes always looked like they were piercing into some ones soul.

"Get out, this is my compartment." Draco said, noticing that he was scaring the little girl. Her hair was so red and when it flickered in the light you could see glimmers of gold in it. Her eyes were brown with fire creeping in all around it, very pretty. Draco noted. The Weasley had grown into quite a natural beauty, stop it Draco, you do not think she's pretty.

"I cant." Ginny stammered. He had beautiful slicked back blond hair with glimmers of icy blue in it when the light touched it. His eyes were gray and mysterious with icicles creeping into it around in circles much like Ginny's but colder.

"Why not?"

"Because, there is nowhere else to go."

"Whatever just be quiet." Draco said and turned to his book.

"Um, can you turn around?" Ginny piped up.

"What?" Draco asked in surprise.

"I need to change into my robes can you turn around." Ginny said gaining more confidence.

"Ugh." Draco replied and turned around. Ginny changed as fast as she could.

"I'm finished." Ginny said and Draco turned around.

"Humph, do you always change in the presence of men?"

"No." Ginny replied. Draco was going to make some snide remark when the door swung open.

"HI, my name it Morag MacDougal. Are you Ginny Weasley?"

"Yyyyes." Ginny replied.

"Good, I am a year older than you and I am in Ravenclaw house. Oh your Draco Malfoy." Morag said just noticing him.

"Yes, and what are you doing here?"

"Oh, well this puts a damper on my spirits, I was going to ask Ginny out, but um I see. Well I'll leave you two then."

"Us two?" Draco snarled

"Yes, you're a couple aren't you?"

"NO!" both Draco and Ginny said.

"Good," Morag said happily "Ginny will you go out with me?"

"Um, well I don't even know you." Ginny replied earnestly.

"You could get to know me, and I've liked you for a long time now."

"Ugh." Draco replied, both Ginny and Morag glared at him.

"What do you say?"

"Ummm, well I guess." Ginny replied.

"Great," Morag said and kissed her cheek "come with me." With that they both left the compartment.

"Bout time they left, I was getting sick with all that lovey dovey mushy stuff.  I was almost even jealous of that stupid MacDougal. Me jealous over a Weasley. I must be sick. I wonder, if she really did have the same dream as me?"

*          *          *

Ginny and Morag left and went into a compartment where Harry and Hannah Abbott were hand in hand, and Ron was with Hermione.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Ginny whispered to her self.

"Look Ron," Morag said. "I'm going out with Ginny, nice girl she is." Ron grumbled but seemed to approve, a little. They sat in there and talked for a while, played exploding snap and some wizards Chess until they reached Hogsmade. Then the sis all got a carriage to themselves. It was a little cramped but the fit for the most part. Ginny was starting to like Morag; he was ever so nice to her. She bent her head down on his shoulder and rested there for a while.

A/N: sorry this chapter is so short the next one will be longer.
