A/N: Ginny and Ron don't go to Hogwarts or any of that in this ficcy! (Just so ya know) The Love She Found in Neverland ~*~* Chapter 1 *

*

* Ginny Weasley was gloomily walking to high school, a.k.a. hell school, with her only brother Ron. She was particularly upset today, because she had just had another argument with the people she and Ron were living with.

It was not unusual that Ginny was upset while walking to school; she was always upset when walking to school.

This was because Ginny Weasley hated her life. Actually, she hadn't always hated it. She had just hated it for the past three years.

Ginny's parents were having a lot of trouble paying their bills. Finally, they had no choice but to give up Ginny and Ron and let them live with another family, while they tried to earn some money for their family. Ginny was about 11 at the time, and she was now 14, her brother Ron 15.

Ginny's father promised her while saying good bye that one day, they were going to come back for her and her brother, but that was three long years ago.

The people the Weasleys let their children stay with had seemed very nice at the time. The keywords there are 'at the time'.

As soon as Mr. and Weasley said good bye to their children and walked out the door, Mr. and Mrs. Luftan, who offered to take care of Ron and Ginny, turned horrible. Ginny found out the only reason they were watching Ginny and Ron was because they were getting paid by an orphanage.

The Luftans treated Ron and Ginny like dogs. They never got much to eat, just a small lunch and dinner every day. They never received any gifts on Christmas or their birthday.

They were forced to stay up in the room they shared every time someone came over to the house; the Luftans didn't want their friends to find out about Ginny and Ron. To top it all off, Ron and Ginny always got punished for no reason at all.

To make matters worse for Ginny, her life at school was just as bad, if not worse. Almost all of the teachers picked on her, and she didn't have any friends. Not one.

Most of the girls kept from befriending Ginny because they were afraid that Stacy, the school snob, and her gang would make fun of them as well.

The guys wouldn't even take one look at Ginny; some probably didn't know she existed. It's not that Ginny was ugly or anything. In fact, she was really beautiful; she had beautiful, blue eyes, gorgeous red hair that curled at the end, and a nice complexion. This was why Stacy and her gang hated Ginny so much.

Ginny really quiet, too, which was probably the reason why hardly anyone but Ron noticed her. She mostly kept to herself. She never really talked to anyone but her brother; you would always find Ginny's nose in a book.

That was basically Ginny's life. The only good things about her life was that she was really close to Ron because he didn't really fit in either, and she had a really sweet neighbor, Mrs. Darling, whom Ginny and Ron both loved very much.

She was a very kind old lady with inviting eyes and a warm smile. The minute Mrs. Darling heard Ron and Ginny had moved in with the Luftans, she felt very bad for them, because she knew how awful the Luftans were. She came over and greeted them very kindly, with a home made batch of cookies.

Ron and Ginny had loved her ever since. She always invited them inside her home to have a snack after school, and Ron and Ginny would always accept; after all it was better than going back to the Luftans house.

Mrs. Darling loved reading just as much as Ginny, and always lent Ginny books every time she came over. Ginny and Ron loved going over to her house, because she always had a batch of fresh-baked cookies ready, and she always told them adventurous stories.

Ginny and Ron's favorite story was about a boy named Harry Potter. Mrs. Darling told them Harry, an orphan boy, would always fly up to her window, and take her to a place called Neverland, filled with evil pirates and friendly Indians.

Ginny got butterflies every time Mrs. Darling told her the story of Harry Potter, the brave, adventurous, handsome boy from Neverland. She never got tired of hearing the story of Harry Potter, and neither did Ron.

Now, Ginny didn't necessarily think the story was true, but every night she went to bed hoping that Harry Potter would fly to her window and whisk her away from the awful Luftans.

Ginny was snapped out of her thoughts and realized that she had walked all the way to school with Ron and didn't even notice. "Well, Gin," said Ron, "I'll see you after school."

Ginny nodded. "Alright, see ya Ron," she said quietly. Then she began heading towards her class. "Oh wait Gin I almost forgot!" said Ron grabbing her arm.

"What is it?" Ginny asked curiously. "Mrs. Darling called last night. She invited us to come over after school today, and I told her we would," Ron said.

Ginny smiled. "That was nice of her. Okay, that's great!" Ginny said excitedly, but still rather quiet. "Alright see you after classes then," said Ron, and he headed off.

Ginny reluctantly walked to her classroom. Great, just great! She was going to have to deal with a whole day of school before she could visit Mrs. Darling.

She entered the classroom and started heading towards a seat in the back. Unfortunately, she had to walk right by Stacy and her gang to get to her seat.

"Ooohhh look! It's the gross, red-headed Weasel!" said Stacy as Ginny walked by. All the girls laughed. Ginny closed her eyes, held in a breath.

She turned to face Stacy, who was sitting next to her current boy friend, Mark; Mark wasn't really paying attention to what was going on. He was talking with his friends.

"Be careful Stacy, if you talk to the Weasel, you might catch a bad case of nerdiness," said one of Stacy's friends. "Or loser," said another. The girls went into fits of giggles.

Ginny used all her power to hold in her tears as she headed towards the back of the class. She was so humiliated, but she wasn't going to let those girls see that they made her upset. She sat down in the very back seat where she remained unnoticed.

At lunch time, Ginny sat at a table alone and just worked on homework. She sat at that same table every day, where she was completely ignored by everyone around her.

Occasionally, some teachers would smile at her when they walked by, but most of the teachers just picked on her. Ginny wished that Ron had lunch at the same time she did so they could eat together, but unfortunately, he didn't.

Ginny was so sick of her life. She just wanted to run away, and had tried to do so countless times. However, Mrs. Luftan always seemed to know what she was doing; therefore, she would always get caught.

To Ginny's relief, and Ron's as well, the day finally ended. They met each other after classes and walked to Mrs. Darling's together.

"Well hello dearies!" said Mrs. Darling with a warming smile when she opened the door to find Ginny and Ron standing there.

"Come in, come in. I have a batch of cookies that just got out of the oven," said Mrs. Darling, causing Ron and Ginny to grin with delight.

They had a very nice time, and they had begged Mrs. Darling to tell the story of Harry Potter again, which she did.

Ginny smiled as she thought of all the adventures in Neverland, and how brave Harry was. She wished that she could go there forever with Harry.

Ron and Ginny left at about 6:00, and walked across the street to the Luftans. When Ron went to open the door knob, he found that it was locked.

"Aw we can't get in! It's locked! Where are they?" Ron asked Ginny. Ginny looked up and saw a note stuck to the door. It said:

Out for the night. Good luck trying to get inside.

Ron scowled. "They're horrible!" he said, "they're just cruel!" Ginny sighed. "Ron what are we going to do?" she asked. "We have nowhere to stay!"

Then Ron looked across the street to Mrs. Darling's house. Ginny understood. "Alright then," she said, "let's see if we can spend the night at Mrs. Darling's."

Mrs. Darling immediately welcomed them to spend the night. She fed them a good, tasty meal since they hadn't had a good one in a while.

Ginny was having one of the nicest nights of her life. Being here reminded her of being home back with her mom and dad. She held in a tear so as not to worry Mrs. Darling.

Ron and Mrs. Darling decided to stop their game of chess and head up to bed when they saw Ginny asleep on the couch.

"No dear, don't wake her," Mrs. Darling told Ron, smiling at the sleeping figure of Ginny. Ron carried the sleeping Ginny up the stairs into Mrs. Darling's room and helped her into her sleeping bag.

Then he climbed into his own. "Good night Mrs. Darling. Thanks so much for letting us stay here tonight. It means a lot to us both," said Ron smiling up at old Mrs. Darling.

Mrs. Darling smiled. "Anytime, dear," she said. "Now go to sleep, you need your rest." Ron nodded and within minutes, both Ron and Ginny were quiet.

Mrs. Darling stayed awake however, and sat in her rocking chair, thinking about when she was Ginny's age, and when the boy named Harry Potter took her to Neverland, changing her life forever.

She smiled back on the memory, but was interrupted from her thoughts when she saw a strange, dark figure, yet strangely familiar coming, flying, towards her window.

What in the world was that figure? It was too large to be a bird. It wasn't her imagination either, she was sure of it.

Suddenly, the windows flew open, and in flew a very, very handsome boy. A very familiar boy. Mrs. Darling gasped. "Harry?"
