The Rules - According to Ginny

1) In a house where there is never ending pandemonium, *know* that free time is a luxury long-since gone.

2) When you have six older brothers, ALWAYS expect to be babied.

3) Red hair can be your biggest asset or your biggest imperfection. Use it wisely.

4) Poor family = poor chances.

5) Don't expect the same as others - you'll just be disappointed.

6) Be thankful when somebody notices you.

7) After you get bored with stalking Harry Potter, read a book - then stalk him some more.

8) Once you're over him, go out with a sulky 5th year Ravenclaws called Michael Corner. Then corner Dean Thomas.

9) After that decide who your next victim is.

10) Read - a lot. Well, it's not like you've got much else to do.

11) Never talk to (former) brother Percy Weasley again - mainly because he's EVIL!

12) Do *not* attempt to dye your hair blond - unless you *want* to look like a frizzy carrot?

13) Avoid Draco Malfoy at all costs - especially when he looks hot.

14) Aspire to be like the twins - it'll get you somewhere fast. Possibly detention.

15) Steer clear of Ron when he's mad. It could be dangerous if you didn't.

16) Love your family and friends as much as you can - you don't know how much time you have left.

17) ALWAYS follow the rules - you can't manage without them.

Rules are made to broken, but these are something I never want to shatter. They help me survive. I know this sounds silly - my rules may sound so to you - but it's just a way of keeping my mind off of the war raging outside my front door. Be it at home or at Hogwarts, I need these.

A/N I know, this is ridiculous, but it was just something I was doing and I felt like posting. So I did. Anyways, you don't have to review but you can if you want. Feather light flames accepted. Btw, I'm a red head myself, so don't bother sending me any flames about that, okay? I'll just laugh at the ones I do get. Anyway, my friend's hair's red - he dyed it blond. Big mistake. It went bright orange.
