Disclaimer - I own nada except for my o.c.
A.N. - quite a few people said I was a bit, okay, very cruel to Ron but I wanted Ginny to make a bang. I may have not made it very clear that in this fic, Ron has been VERY cruel to Ginny ALL her life. However the worst Ron bashing is over. And a few of you also said something like how Ginny could become confident/outspoken/ect without being so bitchy. I have the same answer, I really wanted Ginny's comeback to make a bang, in the future, she will not be so bitchy- I promise! I didn't like it either but that was how it turned out. I am also aware that it may seem like a bit of a cliché - sorry about that, I'm really trying to not make it one.
And just quickly - Luvhp224: Harry doesn't like her YET, he is just very stunned and surprised and seeing her in a new light. I would NEVER make Harry that superficial! It will just take some time for Harry to realize that not only is this girl pretty, but she has the most wonderful personality to match. But that will come later, please forgive me if my characters are out of character. Also - don't worry, I think the bitchy Ginny is gone because the comeback bang is over, and now it will be the Quidditch bang coming up in the next chapter after this. Its time for the witty and confident Ginny to show now.
Ch 7 - First Phase Complete
"That was tres amusing!" Louise giggled as she and Ginny ran up the stairs and into the common room.
Ginny threw her head back and laughed as she collapsed on the couch, holding her stomach.
"Did you see the look on his face?" Ginny asked.
"The whole school did ma chere (my dear)!" Louise answered, still giggling.
"When he comes up here, he is going to expect me to be all sorry and regretful. I usually do after I try and take revenge on him, but it never really works because he gets the twins to punish me and then I beg his forgiveness." Ginny said softly in a sad remembering tone.
"Not this time! He has to know he can't stomp all over you all the time," Louise said strongly, looking at Ginny with a fierce expression on her face.
Ginny looked up with unreadable expression on her face. "You're right Lou, he can't."
"But you know what I can do?" Ginny added as if in an afterthought.
"What?" asked Louise, puzzled.
"Win at pillow wars with you."
Louise had no time to duck as one of the couch cushions came flying at her. She was knocked backwards of the couch.
"I'm going to get you for that Ginny Weasley! I am the master of pillow wars!" Louise shouted, grabbing the cushion.
Ginny shrieked and dived over the couch, knocking over the lamp. Louise dived off after her, pelting her with cushions.
Ginny cornered her by the fireplace, and got Louise smack in the face with a cushion. Louise dived on top of her, attacking her again with the same cushion.
"I give up! I give up!" Ginny yelled, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
"See, I am the queen of pillow wars, all surrender before me," Louise said jokingly, lying on her back panting.
Ginny shook her head, what would she do without this girl?
The door to the common room swung open, and many feet were heard stomping in. Ginny and Louise were hidden from view behind the couch, and they listened silently to who had come in,
"Where is she? She is not going to get away with this! Ginny, get down here now!" Ron's angry voice was heard.
Ginny looked at Louise, a grin playing on her lips. Ron was expecting her to come down and apologize, well he expected wrong.
Ginny stood up and leaned against the wall, Louise beside her.
"Looking for someone Ron?" she said in a bored voice.
Ron spun around instantly, his facial expression very angry. I'll have to do this more often thought Ginny, its not often he glares at me like I'm a rival. Everyone else in the room (basically every single Gryffindor, Ginny noticed) had turned as well. She noticed Harry and Hermione standing behind Ron. She also noted that everyone seemed to be grinning, but not at her. At Ron.
"Yeah I am! Ginny, you are so dead! I can't believe you told that story in front of all those people, you said you would never te-" Ron yelled at her.
"Gee, this sounds familiar. I remember something like this happened today. Except it was the other way round," interrupted Ginny calmly.
"That was completely different! You ha-"
"Oh?" Ginny interrupted again, "How was it completely different?"
"Well, it was, because, uh, it was different, because," Ron stammered, totally lost for words.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. Next time you try and win an argument, make sure you have one in the first place," Ginny said scathingly.
Ron went red for the third time that evening.
Hermione started first. She slowly started clapping, followed by some of her friends. Then everyone started clapping and cheering. Ginny looked at Harry, he was watching her like she was something that puzzled yet intrigued him. Then, with a grin on his face, he started clapping enthusiastically, cheering as well.
Ginny bowed to everyone dramatically, winking at Louise who was clapping harder than anyone else. Except maybe for Hermione, Ginny noticed with pleasure.
"Well goodnight everyone," Ginny said, smiling as she waded through the crowd. Hermione put a hand on her shoulder as she went by and whispered,
"I always knew you could do it."
Ginny and Louise ran up the stairs and into the dorm and jumped onto Louise's bed.
"Okay phase one of revenge complete," Louise said in an announcer's voice, making a face.
"And I love it!" Ginny shouted, lying on her back and smiling at the ceiling. The look on Harry's face when she had verbally bashed Ron was priceless. Maybe things would start to change now, in her favor.
The door opened and all the 5th year girls came pouring in. They stopped abruptly when they saw Ginny and Louise. Bree Warren walked up to Ginny and smiled winningly.
"Ginny darling," she purred, "You look absolutely gorgeous, I'd like to thank you for the entertaining show you put on for us tonight."
"Well, you're not welcome, because the 'show' wasn't for you, it was for myself," Ginny purred back, flicking her hair.
Bree gaped, no one had ever spoken back to her like that, especially not Ginny Weasley.
"Well, someone's being a bit catty," Bree replied, glaring at Ginny.
"Someone had a right to," Ginny said, throwing a look at Louise that plainly said, let's get out of here.
"Excuse me girls," Ginny said pushing roughly through Bree's group, "But I have more important things to do than chat with you. Come to think of it, more interesting things to do too."
~*~*~*~*~*
"Ginny," Louise said seriously when they walked out into the hallway, "I think you should try out for Chaser on the Gryffindor team, I bet you would get the spot."
Ginny blushed for the first time that day, "Really? But you've never seen me play," she protested.
"I often catch you staring at people training through the window, with an expression of longing on you're face," Louise smiled, "Plus you've got the willpower and confidence to at least try you're best. Well, now you've got the confidence, but I know you've always had the willpower," she said thoughtfully.
"Thanks," Ginny said, surprised. "But I don't want people to think I have a big head now that I've changed, they'll think that I think that I'm better than them.
But she knew what Louise said was true, she had practiced Quidditch non- stop until she could pass and catch the Quaffle in her sleep. The problem was, she had been too afraid to try out because she was afraid of being ridiculed.
"Ginny, I never understood why you tried so hard to fit in and be normal, when you were born to stand out," Louise said gently, looking at her seriously. (Yes, I know that is a line from the movie 'What A Girl Wants', but I really love that line and wanted to include it in my story)
Ginny nodded, she would do it. This would complete Ron's humiliation if she got the place.
"I'll do it."
~~Teehee, Ron just doesn't get it does he? Actually no one does, but I think in the next few chapters, they're going to begin to.~~
