Disclaimer: Again, if I owned Harry Potter I'd be beating the living hell out of the person who thought it'd be a dandy idea to make Sirius have rotted teeth in the movie. I do however own plot and the following characters: Alexis Jenkins (created from two of the names of friends at my school… highly coincidental that a name close to it belongs to a character from a fic elsewhere but for clarification I didn't steal it) whom was based on my best friend Mandy's (author of Gilded Lily) personality, Astella, Larry Delwinger, Tristen, Valerie, and Jason with the assistance of Mandy. Some conversations she also assisted with because she's a genius.
Mandy: Don't forget the stunning looks and the extremely intelligent wit.
Author: And the modesty, oh, the modesty.
"So much for summer," Ginny Weasley muttered as she stepped into the grand and unusually large library of Hogwarts. She was now a fifth year and was bored with her usual schedule of classes she could pass while sleeping through; she decided to roam in what became her favorite place, the library. Out of the corner of her eye she saw vivid browns, reds and oranges falling at a steady pace through the large window. Fall had set in. School had set. Inadvertently, chaos had set in- especially with the Quidditch rivalries.
"You know Ginny, summer was pretty dull," Commented her new friend from Beauxbatons, Alexis Jenkins. They had met over the summer after Ginny's third year and instantly clicked after agreeing that the Sweet Water All Stars were all-together better than the Fitchburg Finches for the US teams.
"Yeah but we weren't in school. That's the whole point of summer, to have fun!" Ginny replied as she read a few book titles and walked on to a different shelf.
Her flashy red hair was pulled back in a ponytail, but a few bangs crept out and shadowed her eyes as she gazed into the sea of literature.
"Oh come on Ginny! At least this way we can see more boys!" Alexis said happily as she eyed a group of seventh year Ravenclaws sitting at a near by table reading a Quidditch magazine.
"Boy nut!" Ginny said as she grabbed a book and headed for Madame Pince's desk.
Madame Pince was reading the wizards version of Romeo and Juliet.
"I'm in boy withdrawal." Alexis chirped. "So sue me."
"How far have you gotten Madame Pince?" Ginny asked as she handed the book to Madame Pince.
"I just got to the part where Romeo sees Juliet dead with the glowing fairies around her." Madame Pince sniffled as she wiped her pale cheeks with a disgustingly yellow handkerchief.
"Don't worry Madame Pince, if you get too sad, just read A Midsummer Nights Dream or something." Ginny said patting her hand.
"Bless you child." Madame Pince said as she continued reading and weeping.
Alexis and Ginny hurried to the common room as to avoid the delay of reading Witch Weekly.
"So, what's it say my friend?" Alexis asked as they both jumped on Ginny's bed and rummaged through the pages in search of articles.
"It says that blue and yellow are out and red and purple are way in." Ginny said with a sarcastic tone.
"You've got to be kidding me! Green has always been the 'it' color, that and black leather. Hint, hint." Alexis said elbowing Ginny with a smile.
"Okay, you can borrow my boots. But AFTER I make an appearance." Ginny said mischievously.
"Bout damn time but who are you expecting to show up? Some handsome Adonis?"
"Yes, I'd like to order a blonde, with spectacular eyes, muscles, a bad streak, and a good grade in transfigurations." Replied Ginny in a very horrible Southern drawl.
Alexis roared in an equally horrible Southern accent, "Cause Lord knows you're failin'!"
Both erupted in laughter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the diabolical duo themselves-! Alexis and Ginny!" The voice of Valerie, Alexis' sister, floated to the two. "So, Ginny, what are you up to now a days?" Valerie asked as she walked in and sat down in the chair next to Ginny.
"Nothing really, Val. You?" Ginny returned as she put down her monthly article. She smiled as her friend broke into details of her fascinating day of boy shopping and teen zines.
The day was rather long for the young and restless Ginny Weasley. Aside from the fact that she was still having train-lag, which was much like this muggle "jet lag" but from being on a train for an unhealthy amount of time, Ginny had spent a better part of the day staring at the cracks in the ceiling of the library. Deciding that there might be something else more meaningful for her to attend to, she got up and walked away from it all.
As she entered the Gryffindor Common Room, she overheard a conversation between her friends Astella, and Alexis. "I seriously think I am in love!" Astella screeched as she clapped her hands perkily and flashed a dazed look in Ron Weasley's direction. Ginny grimaced.
"Well, I'm just fine with Ginny's old scraps." Alexis said as she caught Ginny listening. "Harry Potter is my type of guy!" Alexis made a phone out her hand. "Hello? Boy-Hut? I'd like a brunette, with silver wire glasses, brilliant green eyes, a sun kissed tan, Quidditch-made muscles, loyal, and hung like a ..."
"ALEXIS!" Ginny shouted, disgusted at her friends behavior all the while diving to clamp her hands over the mouth about to release SERIOUSLY inappropriate context into the room.
"He is right there!" Astella whispered loudly.
Alexis ignored them and after shoving Ginny aside and straightening herself up, brought her right index finger to her glossed lips and rolled it around in her mouth. She cocked her head a little to the right and winked, bringing immediate attention from her marked victim. He grinned in reply.
"The fish has taken the bait." She said proudly after pulling out her finger. She looked at it, and said, "Works like magic."
"Good grief..." Ginny muttered as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh Ginny," Alexis said exasperatedly, rolling her eyes, "A girl must have a bit of fun sooner or later!" Alexis chirped as she skipped away.
"I love her but still… I swear she's going to be a whore." Astella said after a few minutes of silence.
Ginny shot Astella a look. "Oh come on, give her more credit than that!" Ginny paused. "She's gonna be a gold-digger."
"You're too sweet Ginny," Astella replied smiling as she shrugged. "You're right. She's too smart to be a whore. However, I just remembered that Harry Potter has a huge fortune."
The next week they went to Hogsmeade on a crisp Saturday afternoon. They fell into a line and were directly behind a group of unfamiliar boys. (Sixth years according to Alexis' radar.)
At the top of her lungs she pointed at one and screamed excitedly, "Ooo! Rich guy, rich guy, rich guy!"
Astella asked, "How can you tell?"
"That butt was made by a Firebolt!" Alexis replied.
"How can you tell?" Ginny asked, cocking her head to one side to get a better view. Once she did she whistled. "Damn!" Although Alexis would have burst into laughter upon hearing the influence she had on her normally sane friend, she couldn't hear as she was slightly detained straining herself to get a better look.
"Do you think I go to Quidditch matches for the game?" Alexis demanded. "Besides, I spent enough time looking at Harry's ass to understand the work of a Firebolt."
Ginny cocked an eyebrow. "If you're such the expert, why don't you go flirt with him right now? I bet you could get his house password before the line is small enough to actually enter Hogsmeade."
"Why, Ginny Weasley, I accept your challenge. Toodles!" And Alexis sprinted off towards the blonde beaut.
"Hey there, Firebolt butt!" Alexis commented as she slipped her arm into the nook of his.
"Glad to see someone notices my hard work." He replied with a grin as he licked his lips slowly chapping lips. Long time waiting outside of Hogsmeade.
"That's my point in life. So, you free for a quill and parchment moment in your life?" Alexis raised a slender eyebrow and tilted her head as she smiled mischievously.
"Why should I give you dedicated time out of my hard day for this 'quill and parchment moment'?" He asked raising his eyebrows and cocking his head in turn.
"Because I'm gorgeous, love Quidditch players, and I know 2000 ways to use a broom and I don't mean flying!"
"First, I need to meet the girl behind the beauty. How about you spend the afternoon with me?"
"Damn! Gin is gonna win!" Alexis muttered, stomping her foot.
"Win what?" He asked.
"Oh, this silly little bet that I could get your house password before this line was, you know, normal." Alexis waved him off.
"Well, I could give you the password and you could spend the day with me." He suggested.
"See what you could get for having a good butt? ME!" She conjured up some parchment and an inked quill. The mystery man began writing the number on her back and after he was done, Alexis waved it in the air triumphantly yelling, "I got it, Gin!"
Alexis turned back to the mystery man and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name."
"Why do you need to?"
"So I know what to scream out in the middle of the night." Alexis zinged innocently.
"I like you."
"If I had known it was this easy, I would have gone after that Firebolt butt of yours earlier!"
After the departure of Alexis the bright and vivacious, Ginny and Astella spent the most of the afternoon wandering around the stores looking for candy to get fat on and magazines to take back and brood over for hours on end analyzing exactly when-due to the astrology article- they could meet the love of your life. Returning back to the main square with a bag full chocoballs, fizzing whizbees, sugar quills, lemon drops and pumpkin pasties and another with all the most recent issues of Witch Weekly, Transfiguration Today (Ginny needed some extra notes), and a few episodes of The Adventures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle.
With seemingly a full load and quite an eventful day, they went into the Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer.
Not too much later did Alexis slide into the chair by Ginny with a hardly unnoticeable grin on her face.
"I have met the fox of the year, hottie boomaltie of the month, definitely ass of the century, well, next to Harry's... what was his name? Danny? David? Dennis? It's D-something or other."
"Describe him." Astella said as she rested her chin on her hands. Astella was amazing with remembering names, numbers, birthdays… it was dull though sometimes.
"Well, he had silvery blonde hair, the most STUNNING gray eyes, Quidditch muscles, but he wasn't a Gryffindor. Because I pay more attention to Gryffindors because they always fall for the little finger thingy," She said speeding up a bit. "I mean, look at Harry, Ron, Seamus, Dean, Justin, Colin, Neville, Dennis, Ernie.."
"Whoa, slow down, Lexi! What do you mean, Ron? You've kissed my brother?" Ginny demanded.
"Not really kissed him, I just," Alexis made rotating motions with her fluttering hands near her mouth, "Had him, you know, drooling. However, I have compared and those twins have very different styles of kissing."
"The last time they were at Hogwarts was in our fourth year!" Ginny protested. "They were seventh years!"
"Um, oops." Alexis said, ducking under the table. "I didn't mean it Gin, really, it was just so tempting."
"Tempting to WHAT?" Ginny shrieked as the image came into her head.
"Compare, experiment, you know—Oh, wait, you wouldn't. Oh, never mind. Well, let's order some butterbeer." Alexis said clapping happily and hopefully dropping the subject.
