A/N: Woohoo! I got a review! I'm so happy… thank you bebopodiggity! It's nice to know that someone reads the story. I'm cranking these chapters out as fast as I can for others to read, so please, it would do me some good to let me know that other people are reading it. Remember that all flames shall be used to warm my new hot tub. Huzzah!

The Tiki Game Chapt.3

This was certainly turning out to be a suprising year, Ginny thought. After being chased through the train by Ron and then having to hide in a Hufflepuff compartment, while nearly forgetting her luggage, Ginny wasn't too happy with the year so far. She had NO idea that Ron would be THIS angry with her, he always forgave her after about, oh, 5 minutes. But this was very different by far. It involved MALFOY.

She sighed as she entered the Great Hall, taking her usual space at the Gryffindor table between Lavendar and Colin. Shielding her face from the dirty looks she was receiving from her brother, she instead decided to look across the room; surprised to find that Malfoy was staring at her. And not in that "hate stare" either that he usually gave her. It was more of… of… well, she couldn't place it. Maybe contempt and anger all rolled into one. She really shouldn't have led him on like that at the train station, making him believe that she was someone else. Damn, she hated that bloody prat. That bloody stupid ignorant studly handsome dashing glorious beautiful…

"GINNY! Are you listening to me?!?" Ginny pulled a full 360 in her seat as Colin yelled at her. "I was just asking whether you needed a partner for the next Hogsmeade weekend." He said in a calmer voice.

"Uhh, Colin? Hogsmeade isn't till November. This is still September," she said in a puzzled voice. " 'Sides, Ron is so mad at me right now that I don't think he'll let me go at all."

"Well, I know that it's a far ways away, but I…" Colin started but was interrupted by Professor Dumbledore.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts, my doting students. Before you can eat, there are some matters of business that I need to attend to. First of all, The Third Floor Corridor is still off limits to those who do not wish to die a painful death." A couple students groaned. "Second, Mr. Finnigan, we will not change the name of The Forbidden Forest to "The Happy Candy Cane Forest" where all students can run freely. It is still forbidden." Dumbledore said with a smile plastered onto his face. Even though he was using his angry tone, he still looked rather happy. The whole hall sent a dirty look over to Seamus.

"Well, thought that I'd try!" he commented with a sheepish grin on his face. Ginny smirked; since her brothers were gone, Seamus and Neville were trying to take the place of Fred and George as resident pranksters. They weren't doing a very good job.

"And now, I have just a couple more things to say to you. I'd like to welcome our new two charms professors, Professors Fred and George Weasley." The whole hall gasped in surprise. "Yes, well, they were always rather good at charms. Professor Flitwick just passed away recently, and we were 'forced' to take in these two as Professors. Also, we have a new DADA teacher, please welcome Professor Avernos." Ginny focused her attention onto a new teacher who looked like he could challenge Snape to a scowling contest.

"Finally, just a couple of words left: Flibertijibbit, Thorax, and Monstro. Dig in!"

The Hall sighed in relief as piles of food appeared on the table. As she was scooting in her chair, she discovered a note under her plate, addressed to "Miss Virginia Weasley". She opened the note

To Miss Virginia Weasley,

This is from the Secret Society of Hogwarts. We have considered you as a new member. Please come to the explanatory meeting on September 4th, 2004, at 2030 hours. Thank You.

The SSOH

She read over the letter once more before stashing it away in her pocket. That meant that the meeting was at… 10:30 tonight! She hurridly finished eating before running back to the Gryffindor common room; it was already 9:30! She didn't stay long enough to notice that Draco was heading back to the Slytherin Dungeons…

--------------------------------------

Next Time: The Tiki Game starts, the Council of the Tiki, some interesting classes, and the teacher from Hell.

A/N: Don't worry, the SSOH isn't what it seems, believe me ;). The students are going to have a hellofa lot of fun in the next couple of chapters, including more pranks, romance, smut, and… EMAIL! WOOHOO!!! So just keep on reading, and talking to me. Response makes the chapters come faster! BTW, Averno means Hell, so really, Professor Avernos is really "from hell" so to speak. Also, I suggest that you check out my other story, "Harry Potter and the Scroll of Layarteb", which is a bit more angsty, but really rather entertaining. Enjoy!
