would work on this story to appease all of you poor people who suffered b/c
I couldn't write. You did suffer right? Anyway it doesn't matter.........so onto
the TANEY!!
This is not mine.........
Ginny's thoughts will be in *'s and Draco's will be in ^'s.
".........Good morning Los Angeles. Today is a balmy 84 degre- ........."Ginny's radio alarm clock blared. She cleared her eyes and wondered what the hell she was doing awake at 7:20. *oh yeah, I'm going to Taney today*. Ginny shook herself awake and rolled out of bed and walked into her bathroom to shower. Taney didn't have uniforms so the students could wear what they wanted. Ginny was ecstatic about that. They also didn't have houses at Taney. Their grade was their "house" and they were split up for classes randomly. Ginny had gotten her schedule already and she was in all of Beth and Kelly's classes and most of Erin's. Since Ginny, Kelly, and Beth were advanced students in Potions, Charms, and Transfiguration, she had those three classes with Draco.
After Ginny got out of the shower she towel dried her hair and ran a brush through it. It was naturally straight so if she let it air dry it would dry straight with lots of body. She put on a short white skirt and a dark purple tank top. Then she put on dark purple flip-flops.
When she was done she put on her make up and ran downstairs to grab breakfast. She put a bagel in the toaster and poured her juice. She was halfway through eating when Beth and Erin ran downstairs. Beth had on black pinstripe pants with a white short sleeve shirt. Erin had on a pair of blue tight track pants with orange and white stripes down the side, and "US Polo Association" across her butt. She had on a tight white tank top. The girls exchanged good mornings and sat down to eat.
"So Gin, excited for your first day?"
"More nervous than excited."
"Why's that?"
"Ok, well, I know it seems like waaaaay stupid but........."
"But?"
"In Hogwarts I was always the youngest Weasley, or Ron's little sister, or the girl who opened the Chamb-........." Ginny trailed off there.
"The girl who opened the what Gin?"
"Nothing, it's not important. The point is I was always characterized by what I was and not for being just me. I'm worried that it'll be like that at Taney too. Like I'll be 'that foreign exchange girl'."
"Oh Gin if you're characterized as anything it'll be as that gorgeous new exchange student or the hot new girl or........."
"Draco Malfoy's girlfriend," Draco said as he walked in the backdoor and gave Ginny a kiss on the cheek. "Good morning girls."
"Hey Draco," they all chorused.
"Girls," Ginny asked," where's Ben?"
"Oh he's already at school," Beth answered before turning her attention back to Draco. "Where's your host brother?"
"Oh, he's eating breakfast. I don't eat breakfast and so he asked me to come over and tell you girls that we want to be ready to leave in 20 minutes."
"20 MINUTES?!?!?!?!" Erin and Beth shrieked.
"Its okay girls," Ginny soothed, "we can do it. I'm done I just have to put on some make-up and brush my teeth. I'll help you."
"But we haven't even done our hair!!!"
"I'll do your hair okay?"
"Okay, we better get moving!" And with that the girls ran up the stairs.
"Bye Draco. I'll see you in front in 20 minutes."
"Later gorgeous."
With that Ginny rushed upstairs to help the girls. She found Beth and Erin going through their whole make-up and hair care drawer. She told them to brush their teeth and make their beds and she would be right in. She ran into her room and quickly brushed her teeth. Then she grabbed her make-up. She put on dark purple eye shadow all around her eye and black mascara. She grabbed a clear lip gloss and quickly ran it across her lips. The effect was playful.
Then she ran into the girls room to see them sitting on their beds and behaving themselves. "Okay, here's what were gonna do," she announced. "Beth, you come here and I'll do your hair, while Erin, you go and do that gold shimmery thing on your eyes that you do so well and then put on mocha colored lip gloss." She then took Beth's hair and made three loose French braids, one on the top and two on the sides. She pulled them all together at the base of her neck and tucked the ends under. "Okay, now Erin, you come here and Beth, you go and put on black eyeliner top eyelid only!, and a very little bit of white eye shadow, I said a little bit!. Then I want you to put on dark pink lip gloss." As she spoke she waved her wand and Erin's hair was twisted in little cornrow twists to about her ears. Then she took her hair and put it up in a high ponytail. "Well," she said, "we made it with two minutes to spare." The girls went downstairs and walked over to Kelly's house. The guys were sitting in the front seat of Kelly's car. Everybody piled in and they began the trip to school.
In 15 minutes they pulled up to the school. Everybody hopped out and Kelly tossed the keys to a valet. Mike ran over and gave Erin a kiss. They linked hands. Draco slid his arm around Ginny's waist and Kelly grabbed Beth's hand. They all walked into the Hall together.
"Okay guys," Beth said, "we've gotta go sit with our grades. You're supposed to stay here and be introduced."
"Will do." Ginny said.
Mike broke off from the rest of the group to head over to the sixth year's table. He turned to Draco and cocked his head towards an empty spot next to him. Draco nodded to show he understood to sit there once he was introduced and looked at Ginny.
"So Gin, you ready?"
"Yeah. No Ron to tell me what to wear, and who to date,........."
"And for me to pick on." Draco finished.
"Why do you pick on him anyway?"
"Well, he and Potter were so rude to me on the first day of school and we just never became friendly. It was kindof like our own private war. It just happened. Besides, sweetheart, even you can't tell me he's not a pain in the ass."
"Well, yeah he is. But he's still my brother so I put up with it."
"And that, my dear, is why I like you."
Before Ginny had a chance to reply a man stood up at the head table. He had brown hair that was shaggy and he looked like he was growing a goatee. He also looked like he was about 19. Ginny wondered if he was even old enough to keep the school in hand. That wondering stopped as the Hall grew quiet as he stood and waited for attention.
"Welcome back to Taney," he said, "I am pleased that you all returned and that we have some new students. In addition to our new Californians we have some exchange students. I want everyone to welcome, from Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Virginia Weasley and Draco Malfoy."
Ginny and Draco walked into the hall hand-in-hand amidst whispers such as "wow, she's gorgeous" and "he's sooo hot" and "damn, they look like they're together". Draco decided to put the "relationship" whispers and doubts aside and he walked her over to her table and said to the headmaster "Thank you for that introduction. We look forward to our year stay here at Taney Academy and we would like to extend our warmest welcome from our headmaster Albus Dumbledore." Then he bent over and kissed Ginny so passionately that there were some catcalls from the seventh years. He then pulled away and whispered "if only the Dream Team could see that." As he walked away the rest of the hall wondered what could put their new student into hysterics.
Okay so I'm done. Beth- did ya like ur hairstyle? Member when we did that at Alyssa's? Before we went to the RCC late night party? Where we met John Adam.........son? Well, w/e it doesn't matter if you do or don't remember!
So yeah, I so totally wish that my school had valet parking.........even though I don't drive. Oh well, it would be way totally mad crazy cool.
So be nice to me after I've been totally deprived from the computer since like forever and Review!!!
