A/N: Now everybody read this only in a good mood because this is my first fic and frankly I'm pretty nervous (well not really but you know what I mean). And now you ask:" Why do we have to be in a good mood?" So I'll tell you, because being in a good mood means you'll be nice and leave a review, wont you now…

This is a Ginny/Draco story, which is really odd mind you since she is probably my least favorite character. But, the muse calls… 

And another thing (sorry) – Background information: Ginny is in her 7th year, the trio& company have just graduated (obviously).

Oh and thought are in italics.

Well, here it was, starting. Her seventh and final year. Ginny looked around the platform, this would be the last time.

But this year was going to be different, this year Ron, Harry and Hermione had already graduated.

Of course this situation had its ups and downs, Ginny mused, and at least now Draco and his lot were out of the way.

She was aware that new slytherins would be accepted to the school, but best not to dwell on that.

By her seventh year, Ginny had changed quite a lot. She was no longer a short bashful little girl. She had grown a lot over the summer.Deciding she did not want to be treated as a little girl anymore, and heavens know she had enough of that being the youngest and only girl in a house full of boys, Ginny approached her mother.

She remembered only to well the morning she told her mum she wanted a change; mum had been so pleased, finally someone to doll-up after six boys.

It wasn't that Ginny didn't have any friends, because she did bundles, but they refused to see her change and kept treating her as a little girl.

She suspected that one of the reasons that boys treated her like that was because their fear of Ron and his over-protectiveness.

But again, she thought grinning to herself, all that is going to change this year.

This morning, before coming here Ginny went over her new wardrobe choosing what to wear. Yawning now, she regretted she didn't do it the night before.

 In the end she settled on black heeled boots, used jeans that flared at the bottom, a black t-shirt, a thin black sweater and buttoned at one button.

Simple but elegant (not too much for school though). Her hair had been even more difficult to decide, if possible.

At the end she settled for putting it in a messy half bun, and leaving some hair out as lopsided bangs.

Well, not so much settled but quickly did her hair the only way she could think of when her parents kept yelling from downstairs that they were going to be late.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror and nodded a quick approval to herself before picking up her bag and rushing towards the door.

"Hey Ginny!" Someone shouted, cutting her train of thought, she turned around. "Hey I've been calling you for ages" said Laura.

Laura had been Ginny's best friend for awhile now, basically ever since her fourth year when she and Hermione had stopped hanging out so much.

This was mostly due to Hermione's relationship with Harry.

Needless to say, that had also put an end to her Harry infatuation. Nevertheless they were all still very good friends.

"How was your summer?" Laura asked excitedly "did you meet any cute guys? Were you really in Romania? Did you see anyone we know yet? And what have you done with your hair?"

Laura of course said all of this very quickly.

Typical Laura.

"Actually" Ginny said, "my summer was great, yes I went to visit Charlie, no I didn't meet anyone but the year is just starting, you're the only person I've seen yet, and my hair is basically what I managed to do in eight seconds flat. That covers it all doesn't it?"

"Well" Laura looked critically at Ginny, surveying her, "I like it."

Suddenly Laura jumped up and down "Look there's Natalie! Hey Nat! Over here!" Laura waved furiously.

"Hey Nat!" Ginny yelled as well

.

While Ginny was the sweet girl every body liked, and Laura was the clown and the girl all the boys adored, Natalie was defiantly the studious of the bunch.

"Hi!" Natalie screamed back over the crowds. "Guess what." She finally reached them, "I'm head girl"

"Oh my god! Congratulations!" They both exclaimed.

 "Group hug!" Laura declared.

And both Ginny and Laura quickly smothered Natalie between them.

~_~_~_~_~_~

Finally, after meeting everybody, they managed to get on the train.

Pretty soon Natalie left them to go to a more private compartment with Colin her steady boyfriend for almost a year now.

Yep the Creevy kid, who still took pictures by the way.

"So Ginny" said Laura after they were left alone. "What'cha planning to do this year huh?"

"Oh I don't know…I defiantly want to get a boyfriend that's for sure."

This remark sent Laura giggling uncontrollably.

"What's so funny huh?" Ginny asked defensively.

"I'm sorry, just can't imagine you with a guy, let alone a steady boyfriend"

"Well you are gonna help me change all that"

"Whad'ya mean" Laura stopped laughing suddenly, an action that sent her falling of her chair.

 "Just that, I'm sick of all the boys treating me like a little girl. I mean they don't even think of me as an option any more, just as sweet little Ginny that can help you with your homework."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Well you know… your stuff"

"You mean make up and stuff like that…" Laura looked at her carefully, trying to judge if she was joking.

"Well yea"

"This is going to be so much fun!" Laura exclaimed, delighted to have a 'project', as she started to take out boxes of make up out of her bag…

And thus the train ride went on until they reached Hogwarts.
