CHAPTER ONE: Reunions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK. 9:30 am

Ginny stepped out of the shower and put on her work clothes, (black, knee length skirt, white button down shirt) brushed her shoulder length red hair, and put on a bit of make-up.

Today was special, and it would be exciting! Harry, Ron, and Hermione were coming over today! Ginny's apartment was clean, she looked very pretty, and it was payday. Everything would be perfect today. She locked up her apartment and left for work.

Ginny had been working at a little bookstore for about 4 months now. She liked this job and her best friend Catarina worked there, too. Her boss was a nice woman in her late 30's. This place never really got crowded, except during lunch hour, since it had a small restaurant branched off. Nothing here ever really seemed like work.

About 5 hours after Ginny got there, (a/n: She works 10 am - 3 pm) her shift was over. She clocked out and told her fellow workers good-bye.

+!

Ginny decided to walk home from work that day. Her excitement grew as she neared her house because Harry, Ron, and Hermione would be waiting for her when she got home. While walking, she decided to take a short cut down a small alley she knew about. She wasn't exactly watching where she was going, so she was startled when she bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry, sir." Ginny said, without looking up.

"Well, if it isn't the little Weasel girl! You really should watch where you're going. Besides, it's not very safe for a young lady like yourself to walk alone in an alley when you're in a crowded city like this." A cold voice filled the air and a strong arm snaked around Ginny's waist, pulling her closer.

Ginny was a bit stunned. She looked up, and just as she feared, found the cold, gray eyes of Draco Malfoy staring back into her own. He pulled her a little closer, which made her feel a certain amount of fear, for some reason. Was her coming onto her? No, of course not...

'But, he sure did grow handsome over the past few years...' Ginny could've killed herself for thinking that.

"And WHY are you hear, Malfoy?" Ginny raised an eyebrow at him.

"I don't really think that's any of your concern, Weasel girl. Now, be on your way." He gave her a little push like a father would give a child when he wanted them to leave, except it was a bit too close to her butt for her to like.

She left him behind and walked home, remembering her guests. +! "HEY GINNY!" Harry opened the door and Ginny was overcome by the way he smelled when he hugged her. It was nice.

"How've you been lately, Harry?" Ginny asked, when he let her go.

"I'm good, thanks, Gin. And you?" Harry gave her one of his million dollar smiles.

Before Ginny could answer Ron walked into the room holding an apple.

"Always forgetting Ron, huh Ginny?"

END OF CHAPTER ONE! Sorry, I got tired of writing before Ron really got to talk or Hermione came in. Next chapter will be up as soon as possible. So sorry that it's this short.
