Chapter 3

~Saved by the bell~

The rest of the journey was Malfoy free, at least physically, but the thoughts of Malfoy

still dwelled in Ginny's mind. However, Alison and Neville were both good friends and

apparently, both had very interesting summers, so Ginny put Malfoy aside for a few hours to

enjoy her friends company.

Ginny told them that Harry had "approached" her over the summer and they were both surprised

when she said she turned him down.

-Well, good for you Ginny, said Alison, its never good to like someone for that long; you

moved on.

-Yeah, said Neville. He gave a side glance at Alison and said: Yeah at some point we have to

move on...



Ginny knew about Neville's HUGE crush on Alison, and when she had questioned Alison about

how she felt towards Neville, Alison said that she liked him just as a friend. Ginny never

had the heart to tell Neville, but even he wasn't that slow, he had already noticed that

he didn't have a chance with Alison.

-So, who is the new guy?

-What?!-Ginny was a little surprised with this question

-What do you mean "what?!", you really expect us to believe that this change of heart wasn't

caused by someone?

Ginny didn't know what to say, when she decided to stop liking Harry she really didn't have

anyone in mind... She wondered if she should tell them about Malfoy, but decided not to,

nothing happened anyways, at least not yet...

-Humm, no, no one...But what about you Alison, you met anyone over the summer?

-Yeah, i actually did, this boy in Hufflepuff, he wants to see me once we get to the school.

Ginny was just trying to change the subject, but wished she hadn't when she saw the sad look

on Neville's face.

At that moment the train slowed down and stopped, they had arrived at Hogwarts. Thank God!!!,

Ginny thought, saved by the bell! With that she got up and went to get her stuff in the

other compatment.

Arriving in the Great Hall Ginny went to the Gryffindor table and sat down with Alison,

Neville and Hermione, Ginny and Hermione were quite good friends. Looking around Ginny

noticed that Draco sat facing her from the Slytherin Table. Bastard, what the fuck does he

want? She was pissed off!, She couldn't stop looking at him, maybe thats what he wanted.

Why would he do that though? Ginny decided to ignore him the rest of the evening, even

though it was very hard. If he wanted to annoy her, she couldn't satisfy him by doing

exactly what he wanted, or she had to at least not let him know that he had accomplished his

goal!
