Chapter One: When It All Comes Down
It was a Monday, when my lover told me,
"Never pay the reaper with love only.
What could I say to you, except, "I love you"
and "I'd give my life for yours"
Virginia Weasley was never one to do great things, and she was never expected to. She left that department up to her brother, Ron, and his best friend Harry Potter. Everyone expected nothing out of her except for her to be shy and never talk back.
Stay shy and never talk back were the two rules that Virginia lived by. And at the beginning of her sixth year, they were the first things that went into affect in her storm-washed mind.
~*~
Just keep your mouth closed Gin, She thought to herself bitterly as Ron, Hermione, and Harry piled into the compartment that she had wanted to occupy solely.
"Good thing you saved us a compartment Ginny, everyone else's is filled." Ron smiled, but quickly lost interest in her.
She started nodding, but stopped mid-nod because the three best friends were paying no attention to her.
"Hopefully Voldemort won't try anything this year..." Harry complained in an undertone to Ron and Hermione.
Oh get over yourself Harry, Ginny thought and mentally rolled her eyes. Harry Potter, her "hero". She laughed inside her mind and closed her eyes. Beneath those long eyelashes and tanned eyelids was a storm. A storm that never ended for Ginny.
It had started when she was only eight years old. Everytime she closed her eyes she would see the stormy waters of some unknown land. Amazingly, she was never frightened of these visions, they were an actual comfort to her bruised and battered mind.
"Weasley?!" Sounded a voice.
Ginny's eyes snapped open and she realized that night had fallen and they were at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She also realized that Ron, Hermione, and Harry were all gone.
She scrambled to her feet and pulled her cloak over her shoulders, and stopped as she saw the person who had woken her. Draco Malfoy.
"Ummm, thanks." Ginny mumbled, "For waking me up."
"Why would you be sleeping anyways Weasley?" Draco sneered.
"Just, for...ummm...nevermind." Ginny said dully.
"Well, I certainly hope I don't have to look at you for most of this year. You look horrendous." Draco crunched his nose up as he stared down at her.
Ginny raised her head, locking eyes with him but quickly looked down again, "O-okay."
Draco turned on his heel, and left her standing in the compartment alone. Ginny wiped to tears brimming her eyes away in a hasty manner, and headed out of the compartment and off the train. She managed to catch a ride in a buggy just in time with Neville and Seamus, who were in the last buggy to Hogwart's Castle.
~*~
Stepping into the Great Hall, Ginny saw Ron, Hermione, and Harry enjoying the feast and laughing. Of course they had forgotten to wake her on the train, they had forgotten her all together.
She took her usual seat between Seamus and Hermione, but she clearly avoided the "Dream Team". Hermione, being atleast a little considerate to Ginny noticed this.
"What's wrong Gin?" She asked, and her eyes flashed worry to Ron and Harry.
"Nothing." She replied bitterly, and bit into a piece of toast.
"Are you sure? You look quite ill." Hermione said to Ginny.
"I'm fine!" Ginny snapped.
Ron, Hermione, and Harry looked at her in shock, a long with some other Gryffindor's.
Oh no, you broke a rule, Ginny thought of her two rules she survived by.
"Oi! What's gotten into you?" Ron asked angrily, "You didn't have to go and bite Mione's head off!"
"Shut up Ron..." Ginny hissed lowly.
"What?!" Ron's voice grew angrier.
"You heard me. Shut it! I don't want to listen to you anymore!" Ginny yelled, "I'm sick of you three!"
"You have no reason to be." Hermione stated calmly.
"You can shut up too Hermione!" Ginny screamed, "I have every right to be sick of you!"
"And those rights are?" Ron's face grew redder.
"Well, for starter's you never pay attention to me! I'm your little sister and you -never- talk to me, except to thank me for saving a compartment that I wanted to keep solely to myself! You think you can just barge into everything I have and rule it! And here's another reason, who left me sleeping on the train? Who didn't bother to wake me up when we got to school?! Draco had to wake me up! And let me also tell you the reason. YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME! WELL I AM SICK OF BEING FORGOTTEN RONALD WEASLEY! YOU AND YOUR TWO BEST FRIENDS COULD FALL INTO THE LAKE AND I WOULD NOT GIVE A DAMN!YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A NAFF BASTARD RON!" Ginny screamed, and the Great Hall fell silent.
"Gin-" Harry started to stand, for Ginny had risen to a stand while yelling.
"I...I h-have to go." Ginny mumbled and grabbed her books, running from the Great Hall with tears streaming down her face.
Minutes later Ginny found herself huddled in a corner of the Astronomy Tower. Her knees were drawn to her chest, and she had her chin resting on them. Tears pooled and fell from her eyes as she realized she had lost the closest things she had ever had to friends.
So this is what it's like when it all comes down, She thought and sobbed the night away.
