NOTE: Draco may seem nice than he is in the Harry Potter series, but that's how he is developing as a character in this fiction. Rate it, don't flame it, please. I apologize for a mistake in the first chapter, where it states that Ginny was finishing her sixth year. It was supposed to be fifth. I'll fix it in the near future.

"Sabrina!" Ginny called. But it was too late. Sabrina had already left, and she was probably flying in the flames, traveling by Floo Powder. She had ruined everything. Ginny was ready to sit down, and cry.

But suddenly, a new attitude overcame her. She simply stood up and said "Whatever. It's time for dinner

anyway. Ugh." And she headed downstairs.

"Virginia Weasley! What have you done to your beautiful hair...?" Mr. Weasley gasped.

"HELLO! This is so much more fashionable. I mean, like, you can't expect me to go around with that grotesque red hair."

"Ginny..." Ron gaped at her younger sister.

"Whatever."

That was pretty much her attitude throughout the entire summer. Most of her time was spent up in her room practicing curses to show off to Draco. She sighed dreamily. Surely, this was worth it, she thought.

The day before it was time to go to Hogwarts, Ginny packed all her neccessities, and spent hours making sure her hair would look just right. It was time, she thought.

On September 1, Ginny Weasley boarded the Hogwarts express. She puposefully found a compartment directly behind Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. Draco went around the other compartments, smirking at the other students. It wasn't long before Draco stopped by her compartment. She smiled slyly, and Draco was shocked.

"G-Ginny W-Weasley, right?"

"Actually, I go by Virginia now." She said in a conceited tone.

"Oh, right." Draco rushed out quickly, before his face turned beet red. Ginny smiled. She had done it. Draco noticed her. Now it was only a matter of days before he started to like her.

During the first week at Hogwarts, Ginny smirked at first years, joked and cursed Hufflepuffs, and was downright mean. Ron could do nothing but gape, and Harry started to miss the days when she goggled at him...she was so much nicer back then. Fred and George regularly joked about Virgina, and how much she had changed. Gryffindors weren't the only ones noticing...

Draco Malfoy relaxed in a black leather arm chair in the Slytherin common room. The room was empty; Crabbe and Goyle were still pigging out in the Great Hall.

"That Virginia girl is quite a character. That black hair. It's so...unlike her." Draco said to himself, in a barely audible voice. "Maybe I underestimated her."

Draco knew that he was starting to like Ginny. He tried to push it out of his mind, but it kept returning to him. How could he like Ginny? Or, Virgina, rather. He was in his seventh year, and graduating from Hogwarts. It was his turn to go out into the world. Where was he to go? Was he really in love with Ginny? Draco knew the truth. Draco also realized that Ginny didn't have to change. Why had she changed?

"Ginny. Come here." Sabrina yelled from under the Beech Tree one Saturday.

"Oh, Sabrina. You jest." Ginny replied.

"Well, well, well. Why don't you come over and see?" Sabrina knew how to combat this problem.

"Oh, fine."

"What'd you know? It's the flirtacious little jerk to can't seem to live her life with her own personality. Dear me, aren't we just so popular! Isn't it so much fun to demean little first years, and joke on Hufflepuffs? Yes, I bet it is. All because you're boy-crazy. Does ickle Ginny-kins have a ickle problem with being Ginny? Aww, yes, I bet she does. Well, I thought you were better than that Virginia Weasley. I don't even know why I became your friend. Oh, yes, now I remember. BECAUSE I CARED! And I care now! I care about how you are throwing your life away over a boy. Oh, sure it's love. It's always love. But love can only blossom from a true heart. Virginia Weasley, your heart is all but true." Sabrina Couton walked away, leaving Ginny to wallow in her own sorrow. It was then that Ginny realized that Draco can only truly love her if she is Ginny. Not Virginia. Ginny Weasley.
