Pairing: Draco/Ginny *sigh*
Disclaimer: As much as I wished for my Hogwarts Letter, it never came...
J. K. Rowling owns all, 'cept my plot...
yes, she even owns Draco... :(
A/N: This is my first HP fic and therefore, my first D/G fic. I hope it doesn't suck, but you
can be the judge of that!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The platform 9 and 3/4s was full of people. Small first years clung to their parents, a
couple of older children were running around the pillars, dodging the families. Ginny's
little owl was nestled in her hair, sitting content on Ginny's shoulder, watching her cage
get thrown onto the Hogwarts Express. She bit Ginny's neck gently and waited for the
attention of Ginny's hand.
"We'll be off soon, Aleda, promise." She said softly.
Ginny returned to her mother's side, watching as Harry came onto the platform and
Ron ran to meet him. They began to talk, Ron obviously telling him about the broom.
Harry smiled as Ron drug him over, telling him that Hermione isn't here yet. Harry smiled
politely, updating Mrs. Weasley on his summer with the Dursleys, a sour expression on his
face.
"Hello Ginny." He smiled.
"Hello Harry. How are you?"
Harry shrugged, "Good, cute owl."
Ginny smiled, "Thank you."
Harry grinned at her before turning around as Hermione called them over to where she
had just come in with her muggle parents. The train blew it's whistle and students began
to stream away from the parents. Ginny said good-bye to her father, who kissed the top
of her head. She hugged her mother and hurried after Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Once
on the train she took notice of which compartment they disappeared into and slowly
made her way towards it.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She looked down at the first year she had run into. "Are you all right?"
"Y-yes." The little girl said, her lips trembling.
Ginny held out her hand, "Ginny Weasley."
"Elani Begle. What house are you in?"
"Gryffindor."
Elani smiled. She was small, her hair was blond, her eyes blue. "Really? Do you know
Harry Potter?"
Ginny laughed. "Yes. He's very nice, I'll make sure you meet him."
The train hit a slight bump as it started to move. Elani looked terrified, looking to the
nearest window. Ginny looked out, seeing, who she assumed were Mr. and Mrs. Begle.
They were waving to Elani, who waved back. She looked as if she were about to cry.
Soon, the train was pulling out of the station and her parents were gone.
"Are you scared?" Ginny asked softly.
"Yes. I've never been away from home for so long." Elani looked as if she might burst into
tears.
"Don't worry," Ginny said, "Hogwarts is wonderful..."
"As long as you look out for me."
Ginny felt the chills go down her spine. She smiled to Elani, who looked terrified and
turned around.
"Draco Malfoy." She said softly.
"Ginny Weasley," He sneered at her and looked past her to Elani. "First year?" He asked.
Elani nodded, "Y-y-yes."
"Which house are you hoping for?" Draco asked, "Slytherin, right?"
Elani was trembling, "Is that the best house?"
Draco looked at Ginny. His eyes narrowed, "By far."
Ginny looped her arm around Elani's shoulders and smiled a tight smile towards Draco.
"You'd like to think that."
"I don't think, I know." His finger was in Ginny's face. "You watch yourself little girl, I'll take
you down."
Any emotion Draco had shown in Diagon Alley was long gone. His eyes were clear and
hard, his sneer plastered on his face like old times. He ruffled Elani's hair and moved
past them, making his way to his compartment. Ginny shivered and took Elani's hand.
Elani looked up at Ginny. Her eyes were still filled with fear and she was still shaking.
Ginny smiled reassuringly,
"Why don't you come sit with me. You can meet Harry."
"Really? You wouldn't mind?"
"Not at all."
She led Elani into the compartment and introduced her to the famous three. Elani was
delighted, staring at Harry as if no one in the world was quite so wonderful. And in a
way, it was true. Last year Harry had uncovered an operation in Hogsmeade involving
some seventh years Slytherins and the death eaters. They had been moving in and out
of the school through a couple up secret passages, planning to seize the school. Harry
hadn't had a normal year his entire Hogwarts career. Ginny blushed at the thought of
how he had saved her in her first year. It still embarrassed her that she had gotten
herself into that mess in the first place.
She looked out the window, her mind wandering until the train began to slow. Elani was
asleep, her head in Ron's lap, her long blond hair spread out over his robes. Ginny
stood and slowly moved out of the compartment. She stretched her arms above her
head, the motion of the train making her wish she could just fall asleep.
"Out of my way, Weasely."
Ginny rolled her eyes and turned, "More than enough room for both of us, Malfoy."
He began to push by her, but stopped as soon as they were face to face. Ginny's heart
flipped, her back pressed against the wall. Draco was sneering, and behind him
Crabbe and Goyle watched with something like amusement all over their faces. Draco
leaned in closer to her, his blond hair falling foreword past his ears.
"That little girl will be in Slytherin, I bet 10 galleons on it."
"If I believed in gambling, I'd take that bet."
"Reckless, that could feed your family for years, couldn't it?"
"As if you care if we eat or not. As if you care about anything but yourself." Ginny bit
back.
"Your right, I don't care. Now get out of my way."
"Why?"
"Because," He was only inches from her face. "it's you and us, and I don't think Potter
would notice if you screamed."
Ginny reached over and opened the door to her compartment. Harry stood up, and
began glaring at Draco as the train began to slow. Ginny edged back in and took her
seat. The door closing behind her. The train began to squeal slightly as the train came
to a stop and she woke Elani, before following Harry and the others down the hall.
Ginny stepped off the Hogwarts Express, her heart singing to be back at school. The
students poured out of the train, some tripping over the first years as they hurried to
stand near Hagrid. Ron had told Elani all about Hagrid and so they sent her right over,
telling her they would see her at the sorting.
Ginny watched Harry, Ron and Hermione rush off, still discussing something very
important. She smiled fondly, before starting after them, being sure to keep out of sight
and out of mind. Draco glared at her, but she tried to ignored him. She kept her head
down and her eyes away from him until they entered the Great Hall. She stopped just
inside the door to look up at the candles that floated above her head. Then she made
her way to sit across from Harry, who was fighting with Ron about something involving
Quidditch. Beside her, the table was empty, waiting to be filled by first years sorted into
Gryffindor.
From over Harry's head should could see the Slytherin table. Draco was talking to a
group of sixth years that were hanging on his every word. He looked at Harry's back,
every once in a while, before continuing his story. Ginny shook her head. Some things
never change, like Draco's ability to be incredibly selfish, arrogant, and ill-tempered.
She looked around, waving to the students that she knew.
Then the doors opened and the first years came in for the sorting.
They looked around in awe, some with fear and others seeming very confident. They
lined up perfectly, and waited as the sorting began. Ginny listened to the first two
names, knowing that Elani would be called soon. Elani had caught her eye as she
entered and given Ginny a tiny wave.
"Begle, Elani."
Elani stepped forward and sat down, letting Professor McGonagall place the sorting hat
on her head. Ginny held her breath and looked over at Draco, who was sneering back
at her, waiting for the hat to scream out Slytherin. The hat then made up it's mind and
opened it's mouth to scream,
"GRYFFINDOR."
Draco frowned and Ginny smiled as Elani came to sit beside her. She hugged the small
blond, not bothering to look in Draco's direction. Elani was practically in tears of
happiness as she slid in beside Ginny and soon she was content, stuffing herself with all
sorts of foods that were making their way down the table.
Ginny looked around, wanting to etch the moment in her mind. She wished she had her
book and her 'pencils' so she could sketch the Great Hall at the very moment. She
wanted to capture Elani's delighted face as she stared up at the enchanted ceiling.
She wanted to draw Harry and Hermione who were feeding each other pie. She
wanted a picture of Malfoy sulking near the head of the Slytherin table, his prefect star
standing out on his black robes.
After what seemed like hours of food Ginny finally made her way towards the Gryffindor
common room full and happy. Her eyes were half closed, a yawn stretching to the tips
of her fingers. She didn't notice that he was there until she ran into him. She fell back,
catching herself on her elbows and hands. She lifted herself up, looking around in the
dark hallway. Her hands brushed at her robes, removing the dirt.
"Oh, sorry little weasel."
"Malfoy, how nice." She muttered to herself. To him, "What do you want with me, can't
you just leave me alone?"
He was in front of her again, voice hard. "But I'm planning to make your life miserable."
She didn't miss a beat, "How nice for you, now if you don't mind..."
She pushed him away, her hands finding purchase on his shoulders. She stalked past
him, suddenly wishing she was warm and safe by the Gryffindor fireplace with students
all around her. But Draco wasn't finished yet, he grabbed her wrist with one hand, his
cool fingers holding her tightly. He pulled her back, smiling as she attempted to pull her
wrist from his hand. She stopped suddenly, watching something flash in his eyes.
"Draco..." She whispered.
"Oh what? Are we on a first name basis, Virginia?" Her name fell off his lips like a curse.
"Your hurting me, please let me go."
"Good." His voice was barely a whisper. "You could use a little pain in your life, you don't
have enough that you have to go around mocking others?"
She thought of his face when she had seen the picture, his face on that night in the
library.
"Is that what this is about? It was just a picture of you."
"No, don't you see, that wasn't me. This is me." He pulled her up against him, his eyes full
of spite.
"You don't scare me." She whispered, even though she was trembling.
Ginny pulled her wrist against his thumb and in a instant she was free. If she had
surprised him it didn't show. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at him. Draco
smiled wickedly, shoving his hands in his pockets. Ginny walked past him slowly, finally
walking backwards, her eyes on his retreating back.
"Good night Weasley." He called over his shoulder. "Sweet dreams."
