A/N: I apologize for such a short prologue, the chapters will hopefully be much longer than this. You will find out the speaker and the listener during the story (chapter 10-ish on my calendar) as well as what she's talking about. If the beginning or any part of this seems like FFX(Final Fantasy 10), that's because I wrote almost the whole thing with the prologue song stuck in my head.

*Dedicated to the incredibly cute Elissa, my beta.*

            The room was starch white, rid of any human emotion that might have once been held there. The only color at all was the vivid red hair of a petite fifth year girl.

            "Sit down. Thank you very much for coming. I guess you want to know why I asked you here, don't you? Well actually, the reason is quite interesting. Well no, not really, but it is quite long, and relatively important for you to know. I guess I'll have to start from the beginning." the girl heaved a big sigh and continued. "The beginning. Always a great place to start, don't you think? Especially in this story, because of, well . . . you'll find out in the end. It all started in my lack of confidence.

            "Sometimes I think I'm the epitome of average.

            "It's the worst feeling in the world, knowing you're nothing but ordinary. Ordinary friends, ordinary grades, ordinary talent at Quidditch, you name it, it's something ordinary about me.

            "I guess the only thing extraordinary thing about me is my family. My family is anything but ordinary: my dad is the nutcase, my mom is the sweetheart, Bill is the cool one, Charlie is the daring one, Percy is the smart one, Fred and George are the goofballs, and Ron, well Ron is the best friend of Harry Potter.

            "And I'm just Ginny. Ginny Weasley, 'The Youngest Weasley', 'The Weasley Girl', That Short Redhead', 'Ron's sister', 'Oh, isn't she the one that got possessed by You-Know-Who?'. Just Ginny. Little Ginny Weasley with a crush on Harry Potter.

            "Oh my goodness, that stupid crush. Thinking back on it, I'm still embarrassed. How could I have wasted all my time on him like that? I never thought he would ever like me. And in 3rd year, I gave up on him. Michael Corner asked me out and I said yes, hoping it would help me get over him.

            "And I guess it worked, because I dated Michael for about a year, and then went out with Dean for a bit, but in the back of my mind, I always dreamt about what it would have been like to have Harry Potter like me. It certainly would have made me something special.

            "I guess you could say Michael and Dean were like my drugs. Taken to dull the pain I felt with my feelings for Harry, but could never really take them away. And of course, like drugs, after a while the pain relief goes away and the drug doesn't work anymore. Which was what happened with Harry.

            "And then Draco came. So arrogant. So sarcastic. So hauntingly beautiful. His eyes belying his age.

            "They came into my life in such a way I couldn't imagine. Two polar opposites-one so dark, the other so fair, one a hero, another a villain. One Gryffindor, one Slytherin. Or so I thought. They taught me about life's hardships, about destiny, about love, and about myself. They taught me that life wasn't all black and white. Or good vs. evil. That there was always a gray area in between.

            "When I was in fifth year, my life changed forever. I fell in love. No, this isn't some sappy love story, it's just a fact. I fell in love with two very different boys. Or perhaps two boys that were very alike. Too bad it only takes two to tango.

            "This is my story. We don't have much time left now. It's a story about love, pain, suffering, and how much your one completely ordinary life can change by befriending two exceptional boys. It's not just my story, but Harry's and Draco's too. And yours. Only you don't know how or why yet . . ."
