Can True Love Stand the Test of Time?
Chapter Three
In Which the Characters Learn More about Angel and Ginny's Adventure!
Fred and George woke up smiling! Harry, Ron, Percy (OMG! Percy took time of his work to play Quidditch! Will wonders ever cease!!) Charlie, Bill, and of course themselves were going to an abandoned lot and were going to play Quidditch!!! Being typical boys they kind of forgot that the girls never said anything about playing!! Typical guys! For once the girls didn't object, none of them really keen on playing Quidditch for 6 hours straight!
They had decided that they would have a girls' day and get
better acquainted or otherwise known as gossip. I know that you think that Hermione wouldn't gossip and normally she is wholeheartedly against it, but being stuck around guys without many close girlfriends, she got the urge to have a girls' day complete with
gossip. They were going to make the day as cool as possible and no one was going to stop them not even Mrs. Weasely who actually volunteered to take them to
Diagon Alley or Muggle London to window shop if they wanted!! They had graciously accepted making plans to go around 4:00 so that they could spend the rest of
the day talking! Waking up at 8:30, Hermione and Angel walked downstairs amazed to find the boys already gone for their precious quidditch game.
"Wow! Hermione, i thought you said that the guys always slept in!" asked Angel amazed.
"Normally that's the case except for one huge exception! Quidditch! Guys go gaga over it! Literally, they play in any conditions even if it was snowing!! They do anything to win at Quidditch and are always talking about it!! I am so glad that you are in our year! You can talk with me when those two (meaning Harry and Ron who else??????) are talking about some dumb quidditch game!!" replied Hermione.
"Tell me about it! At least you didn't have to grow up with brothers who only knew how to talk about it so that's all they did!!!" said a new voice from across the living room.
"Ginny! You are awake!" exclaimed Hermione and Angel.
"I got up long ago, I was kind of behind on some work" said Ginny with a smile.
"Work? Do you need help with any of the homework?" asked as usual thoughtful Hermione.
"No, it's not homework. It's chores and I have been doing some programming for a couple of wizarding companies because they just don't know how to use computers! Quite easy, I think!" replied Ginny.
"Computers! How do you know how to use computers, Ginny??" asked Hermione.
"Computers are those really cool muggle things where you can talk to other people and play games with right?" asked Angel.
"Yeah! They are so awesome!! Really cool!!" replied Ginny.
"How do you know, Ginny?" asked Hermione again growing more curious by second.
"I'll tell you all about it after breakfast! It's quite a story, if I do say so myself! Shall we go to breakfast; Mom's going to be yelling any second now"
With that the girls headed to breakfast only to be met by Mrs. Weasley just about to yell for them to come down. After a wonderful breakfast, the girls went up to Ginny's room to talk.
"Well, Ginny aren't you going to tell us how you know about computers? You didn't mention them when I talked to you!" asked Hermione growing impatient.
" Yeah, well I have a shocker of a story to tell you about how I found out about computers and did I mention that Draco Malfoy is in my story too?" said Ginny with a grin.
"WHAT!" yelled Hermione.
"Who is this Draco Malfoy?" asked Angel. "He is this bad boy from our school, everyone knows that he is the son of a Death Eater." replied Herm.
"No! That's where you have gotten it wrong! Mione, just because he is the son of scum doesn't mean he is scum!" exclaimed Ginny. (A/n: I just want to mention that I will refer to Hermione as Herm or Mione through out the story just like Ginny will become Gin or Ninny curtsey of the twins! ^_^ Angel will stay Angel or become Ang! Poor girl she doesn't have a good name for nicknames!)
"What! What happened so that you are standing up for Draco Malfoy who is the enemy of your whole family and Harry, your hero?"
"Okay, okay calm down Herm. Let me tell you the whole story. It all started with these cool new computer classes...
(A/n: We go into story mode her with Ginny as the narrator. This is kind of a side story that doesn't have to do much with the main story. Sorry, it kept bugging me and I don't have time to write another story so I decided to incorporate it into my existing story. I don't know if it is going to be Ginny/Draco, but it might be. I have a open mind for unusual romances! One more thing, anything in parentheses and quotes is people talking while Ginny is telling her story. I don't put names in of who is saying what, but you can pretty much tell!)
It was a Saturday morning and Dad had brought home a muggle newspaper as a treat for us, but none of us ever like to read muggle newspapers so it became a treat for him! ("Your dad likes muggle stuff?" "Yeah he goes wacko over muggle things")
I picked it up cause I was bored and started flipping through it! There was a lot of war news and boring articles, but then I saw it! ("War?" "Yeah, muggles are having a war in the Iraq area." "Stop showing off Hermione!" "Hey, I wasn't showing off" *scuffle,
thud, yelp!* "Yeesh, I was just joking!! Can I continue now?" "Go ahead! No one is stopping you!")
Yeah, like I was saying ... I saw it! It wasn't very big or glamorous, but it said, "Don't know anything about computers? Come meet new friends, learn how to use a computer, chat on the internet, and much more! Don't miss out on your golden opportunity to learn about the fascinating world of magic that is computers!!!!" I was naturally interested!
They said Magic! Come on, how often do you hear muggles talk about magic, but I had no idea what computers were so I asked dad. Dad told me what he knew about them and I showed him the ad. He said that he thought this was a perfect opportunity for me to learn about muggles and their devices! I really wanted to go.
Computers sounded like cool things, so I asked my dad to send me. He almost said yes but then he said that as much as he loved to send me, we just didn't have the money. ("You could have asked me, I would have given you a private tutoring lesson on computers!" "I didn't think of it")
Then he asked exactly how much it was, not an approximate. I checked the ad and found out it was 200 American dollars a.k.a 20 galleons. After I told him the exact price, my dad looked at me curiously and asked if I had any money saved up. I had about 15
gaellons saved up after careful hoarding of birthday money and Christmas money. I told him that and he looked almost ecstatic.
"Honey, your mother and I had saved some money to buy you something, but if you want you can go to these classes if you pay half the price out of your money" said my dad.
I thought about it and told him that I really wanted to learn about these computer things and that I would pay the money! My dad smiled and then told me to start finding books on computers so that I could act like an ignorant teenager when I went to these classes. I didn't want to stick out so I rushed off to the library to find some books about computers while my dad talked to my mom and got me enrolled in these classes.
A week later, my dad told me that he had enrolled me and that the first class was in a week at a muggle college near by. I swear that week seemed like an year before it was Saturday and time for class. I got ready nervously; I had some idea of what muggle teens
where, but not too good of an idea. I put on my new muggle pants. I think they are called low-rise genes or something like that. ("Jeans! Where did you get them, Gin?") and this cute tight t-shirt I found in Gap. It said "Daddy's Little Princess" on it in baby pink and was black. I had used the other five gaellons that I had left over to buy this outfit and a couple more shirts……….
"GINNY! HERMIONE! ANGEL! ARE YOU READY TO GO??" yelled out Mrs. Weasely.
"Oh my god, it is already 4:00! I can't believe that time just rushed by! I haven't gotten to the good part yet!" pouted Ginny.
"It's okay, Gin. You can tell us some more when we get back from shopping! While we are shopping, you must tell me more about the people at your school and this Draco Malfoy." said Angel with an indulgent smile. Even though Angel had only known the Weaselys, Hermione, and Harry for a couple of days, she had immediately become one of them. She was another older sister type of person for Ginny who before meeting her had only Hermione to confide in.
"Yeah, come on Ginny let's go shopping!!!!"
