Hour Glass
Chapter Three
"Ginny... GINNY!!!! WAKE UP, DORK!!!!!!" Charlie Weasley screamed into his little sister's right ear.
"Go 'way," Ginny mumbled sleepily.
"Wake up or your going to miss the train to school!"
"What if I want to miss the train?" Ginny asked Charlie.
"Just get up, Gin," Charlie said as he walked out of her room.
Ginny laid back down and contemplated on getting up. She finally decided that she should because if she didn't go to school, then she couldn't do magic.
She went over to her walk in closet and pulled out a pair of faded blue jeans that had a rip in the left knee. She put those on and went over to her bureau and pulled out a Muggle rock band t-shirt with the name Slipknot written across the front. She wore black Adidas tennis shoes. She pulled her hair up in a messy bun and walked out of her room.
Downstairs, everyone was still eating breakfast. Ron was on his fourth helping of eggs and Harry on his second. Charlie and Bill left for work right after Charlie came and told Ginny to wake up. Her father was sitting at the head of the table, and her mother was still cooking by the stove. Ginny sat down and helped herself to a piece of toast when an owl came through the window and landed in front of her. It read:
Hey Gin!
Hope you had a great summer! Mine was boring as hell as usual! Sorry I couldn't write that much but I was busy being on vacation! I hope I see you on the train! Try to sit with me if you can!
I mean you're only my best friend you know!
Love,
Colin Creevey
"Who's the letter from?" Ron asked with his mouth full of eggs.
"Colin," Ginny answered.
"The freaky kid who is always trying to take a picture of Harry?"
"Yes, but in case you haven't noticed he hasn't taken his picture in what? 2 years, so you better watch what you say about him or else I'll kick you where it hurts."
The ride to Platform 9 3/4 was an uneventful one. They passed the barrier at King's Crosse and where now on the platform. "Bye mum. Bye dad," Ginny said as she got onto the train and went to look for Colin.
"Ginny?"
"Hello Hermione."
"What did you do to your hair? I love it," Hermione stated, awestruck.
"Thanks. I wanted to try something different. I was tired of being little mousy Ginny. I changed."
"I'm glad you changed, Ginny, if it makes you happy."
"I am happy with the way I am. Thanks for understanding. I'll talk to you later," Ginny said as she waved good-bye to Hermione and went to find Colin.
"There you are!" Colin said behind Ginny. "I've been looking all over for you. Let's go find a compartment." Colin said.
"Oh and by the way, love the new look."
The found and empty compartment near the end of the train and settled down for a long ride. They talked about what they did that summer and what made Ginny change the way she looked and how Colin had changed also. He no longer had sandy blonde hair, it was now black. He had gotten very tan when he went on vacation to the Virgin Islands and had also gotten muscular. If Ginny didn't consider him a brother she would say that he was gorgeous.
They finally arrived at the Hogsmeade station and boarded the melancholy black carriages to the school.
The Great Hall was busy with excitement and laughter as the students waited for the sorting. Ginny wasn't that excited because she always thought that the sorting was really boring and she just remembered to clap when someone started to clap beside her. The girls in her year were giggling uncontrollably for a reason unknown to Ginny. She didn't really care what they were talking about as long as it wasn't about her.
The sorting ended and the feast began. Colin kept trying to get her attention but Ginny was too lost in her thoughts to hear him trying to make conversation. Her eyes wandered the Hall in search of something interesting to look at. She looked over at the Slytherin table and noticed that about half of the majority of Slytherin students weren't there this year. "How strange," Ginny thought. Her eyes continued their path down the Slytherin table when her eyes locked with the cold, insensitive gray ones of Draco Malfoy. She looked away when someone bumped her shoulder, but couldn't help wondering what it would be like to be him. Rich, popular, smart, talented. Those were the things that Ginny wanted to be, but she didn't want to be like him in order to achieve her goal.
The Feast was over, and Dumbledore just dismissed everyone back to their commom rooms. Ginny made her way out of the Great Hall to find Colin when someone behind her said, "Hello littlest Weasley."
