tulzdavampslayer: Again, I am sorry about the chapter length. And as to the 'views', I'm not sure yet. I'm either going to have to be VERY discreet, or rate this fic a PG-13. I haven't decided yet...))

Ginny stepped out into the corridor of the Hogwarts Express, turning towards the row of compartments to her right. As she peered in each one, she noticed Silver attempting to climb out of her bag. Smiling, she leaned against the wall for a moment, lifting him free of the bag, then placed him on her shoulder. She felt him tense a moment in surprise, then he relaxed, keeping his balance as they moved off again.
"Come on, Silver," she told him with a smile, tucking the bag absently in a pocket. Continuing down the row, she finally saw what she was looking for.

From the moment, almost a week ago now, when he had admitted to himself that Ginny was beautiful, other inconvenient thoughts had begun to spring to Draco's mind at times. Currently, the one he was attempting to force out of his head was the thought that he was quite enjoying being this close to her. It came as little surprise, then, caught up as he was in arguing with himself, that he was very nearly flung off her shoulder when she suddenly stopped. With a -he was embarrassed to admit- panicked squeak, he struggled to regain his footing. With a startled cry, Ginny threw up her free hand to keep him in place. He let himself lean against it gratefully for a moment, then quickly straightened. As Ginny sighed in relief, he slowly became aware of another sound. He turned his head, and in the compartment to his left, saw the source of the badly stifled giggles. Ginny noticed them then as well, and walked into the compartment with a wide grin.
"Ginny! There you are!" called one of the occupants, a tall girl with long black hair.
"Characteristic entrance, huh, Gin?" asked another with a chuckle. Ginny turned to the girl who had spoken.
"Blame him, not me!" she replied, pointing jokingly at Draco. He stiffened slightly under the sudden scrutiny of three pairs of eyes, but managed to keep his defiant look in place as Ginny flopped down next to the first girl.
"So who might this be?" inquired the third, flicking back a strand of brown hair. "I didn't know you had a ferret, Ginny."
"I just got Silver over the summer," she explained. Looking over at Silver, she nodded at each of her friends in turn, naming them as she did. The black-haired girl was Rose Engle, of Gryffindor. The one who had asked about him was Rita Davis, from Ravenclaw, and the other, also a Ravenclaw, was Ann Rivers.

Note to everyone else, I've just been sifting through my reviews when I need new character names. If you're not in here, I either haven't gotten to you yet, or your name won't work. Dracos Gal, for example...:(Sorry.))
