Chapter 2 – Unexpected

Soon, came the day when Ginny, Ron, Harry and Hermione had to go back to Hogwarts. In fact, Ginny could hardly wait to get there. She had spent the worst summer ever, having to watch Harry and Hermione flirting and kissing all the time. No, she was no longer head over heels for Harry, she had over come that... But it still made her jealous to see them together, looking so happy. Ginny truly wished some day she would have someone to love her.

'In fact, I already have someone! I have you, Angel...' the girl said, kissing the kitty's head.

'Ginny, drop Angel and push your luggage car! I'm not your employee!' Ron said, looking furious, while he pushed both their luggage cars towards Platform 9 and ¾.

'Oh, fine! Angel, stay still ok? And don't disappear!' Ginny warned the kitty, placing her on top of her trunk, and took control of the car, going through the barrier. 'Angel, this is the Hogwarts Express... Isn't it beautiful?'

Ginny stopped in front of the engine, to admire it. It was of a wonderful scarlet colour, and was releasing steam, getting ready to leave. It looked like the engine was as ansious as Ginny to go back home: to Hogwarts. Starting to walk again, Ginny gathered with her family in the middle of the crowd, getting ready to say their goodbyes.

'Ginny, please stay out of troubles, and make sure your brother behaves himself... Don't forget to feed Angel and give her the love she needs... And, most of all, write me a lot, because I'm going to miss you so much!' Mrs. Weasley warned, hugging her only daughter as if her life depended on it.

'Ok, mommy! Make sure you send me some cookies, ok? I need to eat out of hours, sometimes!' Ginny agreed, kissing her mother's cheek, and then hugging her father. 'Bye, Daddy!'

'Goodbye, Ginny... I want to tell you to be strong and face everything with your head high! Don't let your self go down... Always fight to become stronger, ok, sweetie?'

'Ok... I guess! You're sounding weird, Daddy!' she said, suspicious of something going on.

'I know I am, Ginny! Now, go on! Go to the train!' he said, pushing her towards the engine.

'Wait a minute! Where's Angel? Angel? ANGEL?' Ginny called, starting to get desperate. Her kitty was nowhere in sight, and the crowd was too compact! They could even smash her with the cars wheels... Oh Merlin, she had to find Angel.

Going on fours, Ginny crawled through the maze of legs, calling for Angel, but the kitty was nowhere in sight. When Ginny was about to stand up, a pair of polished black shoes appeared in front of her.

'Trying to get as filthy as your Mudblood friend, Weasley?' a male voice said, with sarcasm.

"Malfoy!" Ginny recognized the owner of the voice. 'Please, leave me alone!'

'Why should I?' he asked, laughing coldly. 'You are no one to tell me what to do!'

Ginny stood up, and looked him right in his grey eyes.

'My cat ran away, and I'm trying to find her before the train leaves! So, get out of my way, you stupid blond ferret!' she yelled, getting furious.

'Well, Weasley, I've got news for you! I know where your kitty is, but I won't tell you!' he sneered, watching her clench and unclench her fists.

'Where is Angel, you bastard?!' she said, menacingly.

'You see, Weasel, I won't tell you until you start showing some respect to the Head Boy! You have to say: "Oh greatest Hogwarts' Head Boy of all time, can you please, please tell me where my kitty is? I would be most thankful if you helped me!" Say it and I'll tell you!' Malfoy said, his eyes shining with laughter.

'Angel? Here kitty! Come to me, sweetie!' Ginny called, looking all around her, trying to find the kitty.

'That won't work!' he said, with a know-it-all voice. 'Say it!'

'I would rather die right here, right now, than say all those lies to you! Now, please, tell me where Angel is! The train is starting to move!' she ordered, going red all over her face with the effort of yelling to him.

'Fine... You have two options: one, you tell me what I told you to say; two, you will do something for me...' he said, watching her with attention.

'What do you want?' she asked, suspicious.

'I'll tell you soon! Here, take you damn cat and keep an eye on her! This is not a good place for little kitties!' he sneered, taking the cat from under his cloak, and handing her to Ginny.

'Why, you stupid asshole! You had her and you still blackmailed me?' she yelled, running to get into the train, following him. 'No wonder you're soon of your father! The two of you are made of the same death-eater stuff!'

The two students were now in the middle of a corridor of the moving train, fighting like two cats.

'I'm not a Death-Eater, so shut your mouth before you even say those things to me! You don't know me and I don't want you to... Keep yourself away from me, Weasel, or you'll wish you had never met me!' he menaced, going down the corridor with his black robes dancing behind him, due to the wind.

'Looks like I've hit a soft spot, don't you agree Angel? Please, don't you ever run away, again!' she said, smiling softly to her little friend, before going to the last compartment, where her brother, Harry and Hermione used to travel.

'Hello Ginny! Where were you? You disappeared at the platform! Is everything ok? You are so red...' Hermione asked, curious, looking at her friend.

'I'm fine... So, what are you guys doing?' she asked, sitting next to her brother, and in front of Harry and Hermione.

'Exploding Snap... That's all they can do, unfortunately...' Hermione complained, rolling her eyes with boredom.

And, boy, was she right?! Ginny and Hermione spent two hours watching both boys playing the game without even looking at the people who came to greet them... Having had enough, Ginny decided to take a walk with Angel in her robe's pocket.

'Well, well, well... What have we got here? I conclude that she's a Weasley, because of the red hair, but, Merlin, isn't she looking good?' a male voice, said behind her, scaring her to death. Turning around, Ginny found the greatest Slytherin git, after Malfoy, of course.

'What do you want, Zabini?' she asked, preparing herself for his insults about her family.

'Nothing, Weasley, just wanted to take a good look at you... Uh, uh, you really improved this summer, didn't you?' he said, eyeing her body from head to toes, making her feel naked and disgusted. 'I wouldn't mind having a piece of that...'

'Zabini, go back to your compartment, now!' a voice said, behind Ginny.

'Oh, come one, Malfoy! I just want to have some fun! Don't you agree with me? The little Weasley really looks good... Sexier than Pansy, uh?' Zabini said, grinning evilly. 'What do you think about sharing her? It would be fun!'

'I'm not a piece of meat to be shared, you git! If you are so hungry, I'm sure Pansy Parkinson has her legs open all day and night...' she said, disgusted, before she turned to walk on the direction she was heading before being interrupted. Now, in front of her, was Draco Malfoy, again... And boy, did he look furious.

'Zabini! Go to your compartment, or I'll take points from Slytherin!' he menaced, watching the other boy take another lusty look at Ginny, before he obeyed.

'Thank you, Malfoy!' Ginny said, smiling weakly.

'I want you to go to your compartment as well!' he ordered coldly, not giving a damn to her apologizes.

'I don't want to... It's really boring over there, and I want to take a walk, before my butt becomes flat of being sit for so long!' she complained.

'I'm sure your cute butt will stay as it is... Now, go to your compartment!' he said, smiling softly.

"WOW! What a change! He looks really good when he smiles... When he really truly smiles! Nice teeth... Nice lips... Nice face... Nice body... Awful temper!" Ginny thought, looking at him from head to toes, like Zabini had done to her a few minutes before.

'Ok... I'm going, Mr. Head Boy! Thank you for saving me from Zabini, the Womaniser!' she joked, standing on her toes, and grabbing his neck, lowering his face to hers. 'You were a darling...' she said, before touching his lips with hers for a brief soft kiss.

Breaking the short kiss, Ginny turned around and went back to her compartment, leaving a stunned Malfoy behind her.

"Oh, my! I can't believe I did that! A few hours ago I was yelling with him, and now I kiss him and think of him as if he was a Greek God? Am I going nuts? I must be..." she thought, petting Angel's head, that was coming out of her robe's pocket. 'Oh, Angel, I think I really did it, this time... Mommy told me to stay away from troubles two hours ago, and I'm already getting on Malfoy's black list!'

'Mrow...' the kitty responded, licking her hand.

'Yes, love, I'm glad you're here with me... Let's go back to the Exploding Snap game, shall we?!' Ginny laughed, trying to calm her red face, before facing her brother and his two friends.

Hello, and yes, I know this story is similar to The Weasel and the Kneazel, but the inspiration to this story came from that one...

On future chapters you'll see how different they are... I have many readers how told me that the stories were very similar, but now they are happy with the turn I gave to my ff, and they are enjoying it.

Hope you enjoy it as well, but until then, the stories will be very identical.

Love, Carina
