All in all, Ginny thought, the project went fairly quickly. She and Draco spend all of their free time working on the timeturner, and it paid off. The device worked perfectly and it was packed in a special case and sat by the fireplace in Dumbledore's office ready to leave. Ginny sat with it. Her trunk was packed and she waited in silence for Draco and Dumbledore to show up.
Working with Malfoy hadn't been as bad as she thought it would have been. There was, of course, the sarcasm, the rude comments about Harry, and the mean jokes about her family's financial situation, but over all that he could actually be decent. He started helping her with certain aspects of the project, and it almost seemed as if there were two Draco's in one. She even felt like the incident in the common room hadn't even happened.
Ginny was fiddling with the necklace around her neck when the door opened. Expecting to see Draco standing there, Ginny quickly wiped all expression off her face. She turned around to come face to face with Harry.
"Hey, Ginny. I just wanted to wish you good luck. If Malfoy does anything to bother you I'll-"
"Don't worry, Harry. He's not as bad as you, Ron, and Hermione make him out to be. Tell Kaydence that if she needs anything she's free to raid my closet."
"Will do. But are you sure about Malfoy? He's-"
"What's to be sure about, Potter. It's me." Harry turned and glared at Malfoy, but couldn't do anything, as Professor Dumbledore was standing behind him.
Harry continued to glare at Draco's smirking face. "Exactly my point." He turned to Ginny. "I'll see you Gin." He gave her a kiss on the cheek, turned, smirked at Draco and left.
"I've never been so confused in my life." Ginny's eyes were locked on the door.
"Use that to your advantage Miss Weasley. It's when people are sure of too much that they get into trouble. Let's get started." He sat down at his desk and handed Ginny and Draco separate keys. "Those are to your dorms. You will be rooming with students from other schools throughout the world. These are your schedules. They will not only tell you the time which you are to be at each spot, but they will also give you directions if you are lost."
Ginny and Draco nodded in agreement and looked back up at the headmaster. "We expect the best behavior from you two, as you are representing the whole of Hogwarts."
"Yes sir." Ginny stood up and followed Dumbledore to the fireplace where she and Draco would travel by floo powder to the magic fair.
When the whirling stopped and Draco and Ginny stepped through the fireplace they both noticed how organized everything looked. They checked in as the Hogwarts participants and then were shown to their dorms.
Draco opened the door to his room and met two boys who looked to be his own age. Ginny and their guide stood outside the door, ready to leave for down the hall to Ginny's room.
"Hi. I'm Matt and this is Tony," one boy said while pointing to another who had dark hair.
"Draco Malfoy," he responded with before he noticed that his new roommates weren't paying attention to him. He sighed and pointed to the redhead. "That's Ginny."
"Nice to meet you." Ginny smiled and shook hands. "Well I had better get settled down the hall. "See you, Draco." She left the room and was ushered down the hall.
As soon as the door closed when Ginny had left the questions had started. "Well, there's something new. Are you two friends?"
Draco was piling his clothes on his bed trying to ignore the males behind him. "No."
Matt and Tony smirked at one another and continued on their conversation about Ginny. "So, with that attitude, I'm assuming that you two aren't dating either."
"Wow, you guys are smart." His temper was rising inside them. "What's wrong with you? Don't you have girls in America?"
Tony laughed. "Oh yeah. America has girls."
Ginny closed the door to her room and met her roommates, who reminded her of Lavender and Parvatti. Needless to say, it wasn't comforting.
"Hey, I'm Nikki and this is Tina. Do you need help unpacking?"
"No thanks. I'm mostly going to leave everything in my trunk so that it'll be easier when I go home."
"Okay, well if you need help." Tina sat at a vanity brushing her hair.
"Oooh. Did you see that boy?" Tina spun around in her seat to face Nikki.
"Tina, there were lots of boys at this school today."
"No, the tall blonde one from England." There was a thud from Ginny's side of the room as the suitcase almost fell off the bed.
A smirk appeared on Nikki's face. "Yeah I saw him. How about you, Ginny. Did you see him?"
"Duh, Nikki. She was with him."
Ginny turned around and grinned sheepishly. "I'm not saying anything."
