*The First of September*
"Bye, dears," Mrs. Weasley waved at her two children boarding the Hogwarts Express.
Once inside, both Ron and Ginny sat with their friends for a moment before going to the prefects' compartment. As Ginny walked into the large cabin of the train, she was greeted by none other than Oliver Wood. "Ginny, we meet again." He grinned, she laughed at his lame line.
"Oliver, hey." She swallowed once again all the nerves that seemed to bunch up in her throat.
"Wanna sit down?" He patted the seat next to himself.
Ginny hesitated, not knowing what to say. What about her friends, she had to sit with them too. "Well. My friends..." She started, then with a sigh she gave up and sat next to him. Glancing up Ginny saw Lavender and Parvati sitting together, she winced at them, but they just smiled and waved. That eased her nerves, and Ginny felt quite comfortable next to Olivier Wood.
"So, Gin, may I call you that?" Oliver cut short his thought with a brief question out of courtesy.
"Sure," Ginny shrugged, crossing her arms, then uncrossing them and leaving them flat over her legs.
"Okay, well what's new, Gin?"
"Nothing, I'm a prefect, like everyone else though. That's all. Really boring, aren't I?" She muttered.
"No, not at all. Don't worry about being just like your brothers. You're really not much like them. Don't be concerned." Oliver placed his hand over hers. Ginny shivered internally.
"Mister Wood, may I have the *honor* of speaking to you in the teachers car?" Professor Snape called as he approached. Snape had taken over the new-teacher-initiation duties after McGonagal died.
"Of course." Oliver said to Snape, then to Ginny: "We'll talk later." Ginny smiled, and Olivier followed Snape to the car ahead of them.

Ginny practically jumped for joy when Oliver finished their little chat. Leaping out of her seat, Ginny ran over to Lavender and Parvati. "Sooooo?" The coursed, letting her into their car.
"Sooo, we talked a little in Madame Milkins, and he wants to 'see me later'." Ginny grinned and lifted her eyebrows for effect. They giggled and Ginny continued, "Plus, I'm a prefect, so more opportunities to talk to him, Right?"
"Uh! That's just too perfect Ginny!" Parvati cried.
"You're just so lucky!" Lavender agreed.
"So, when do you think I should try to talk to him next? Is tomorrow too soon?" Ginny asked excitedly.
"I would wait, see how interested he is first. If he's really interested, you'll hear from him tonight." Parvati instructed.
"Okay, sounds good. Now what about clothes wise?" Ginny continued.
"Well, you have new robes, thankfully, but hmmm, I have clothes, you know, the cute muggle stuff. Minis, good stuff." Lavender started.
"Oh, and we know every hair charm there is, so that can't be a problem. Ginny this is going to be SO great!!!" Parvati gushed.

Inside the empty teachers car, Snape summoned two coffee cups and charmed the pot to pour in the right amount. "Now," Snape started. "You realize you have to be in complete control of every situation at all times. You are solely responsible for every Gryffindors' well being while they are in their common room, in the Great Hall and in class.
Do you realize how large of a responsibility this is for someone?...." Snape continued, drawling on about privacy, passwords, pranks. Olivier caught snippets, "...Weasley-esque pranks cannot be tolerated...."
But Oliver manily thought about Ginny. What would happen to her, or him, if someone important found out? What happens if they fall in *love*? But most importantly—did she really like Oliver?
"...Do you understand me? Your password will be? Wood!" Snape hollered.
"Yes, uhm, our password, eh? Well, upon consideration of all the key factors, professor, I would say our new password, for the Gryffindor house is..." Oliver glanced around the room, staling blatantly. "Well, uh, pink paperweight!"
"Girly, and un-original," Snape snorted, picking up the very pink paperweight Oliver was looking at. "However, that's your decision. Now, onto other issues. Your prefects this year will be: from the 5th years' Ginny Weasley and..."
Finally, he thought, I can find out what exactly Ginny being a prefect means to me. Or us.
"You are required to met with each prefect, individually or in groups at your discretion, weekly, Wood."
Perfect. Absolutely perfect. And nothing Ginny's parents, teachers, or pesky brothers could say would ruin that moment for him.

"Ginny! Its gorgeous, shame you have to hide your outfit under bulky robes...." Parvati said, after dressing Ginny in her short red and gold- layered skirt and her black-jeweled top. Ginny looked stunning. And just before she slipped her robes on, Oliver walked by.
