Note: I don't own anything to do with The Vampire Slayer concept, that's all down to Joss Wheadon, although I wish I did!!



Ginny the Vampire Slayer

Ginny Weasley threw her divination book across the Gryffindor common room in frustration. " I'm never going to get this!" she shouted to the empty room. Although considered one of the cleverest witches in her year, divination stumped her. Hermione had tried to put her mind at rest, telling her that it was all just smoke and mirrors, while Ron scoffed and told her to make it up like he and Harry did, and while she listened to them both, Ginny liked to know that she had a made an honest effort with her school work and had been up half the night trying to figure out her horoscope.

You will enter a whole new phase in your life very soon. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Now in her sixth year in Hogwarts, Ginny had tried very hard to step out of the shadows of her brothers. Fred and George had left school and now ran a successful joke shop in Hogsmead, their Canary Creams now legendary across the world, while Percy was set to be the youngest minister of magic in 600 years. Ron had played a big part in the defeat of Voldemort the previous year and had finally come into his own, showing the courage and loyalty that she always knew he had. He and Hermione, in what they to thought to be their final moments, had confessed their feelings for each other and planned to marry as soon as they and Harry finished their Auror training.

And then there was Harry. She loved him, that was the one constant in her life. She knew that even if her world were crumbling down around her, Harry would remain steadfast in her heart. He had become withdrawn after the defeat of Voldemort, never telling anyone, not even Ron and Hermione, what had happened in the final moments between he and the Dark Lord, but when the news came that his Godfather, Sirius Black had been acquitted of all charges against him after the discovery of the body of Peter Pettigrew, he seemed to get a whole new lease of life. Ginny and Harry had become friends, but not as close as she would have liked.

Ginny looked at her homework sadly. "I'm getting nowhere" she thought to herself angrily, "I'll take a walk and see if it clears my head." With that she got up and strided purposefully to the portrait hole and climbed out, heading for the kitchens.

A dark figure emerged from the shadows beside the entrance to the gryffindor common room and stared and Ginny's retreating back. "She's the one", he whispered into the darkness.
