Live it Like Ginny

Chapter 1

I hate being a Weasley! I'm always getting teased about my hair colour or the fact that I'm poor. I cant help it if im born into a pathetic family, can I? I'm always being ignored because nobody notices poor Ginny Weasley. Its so unfair If I had less than half the attention Harry had I'd be happy. I guess that's life for you. Just when you think life couldn't get any worse, you get a detention with Snape or you run into Malfoy!

Don't get me started on that cocky, arrogant snob! Hes such a brat! Why cant he just get lost? It would make my life a whole lot easier! Like the last time we saw each other! He came barrelling down the corridor and knocked me over and blamed it on me! He even had the nerve to call me a 'walking, talking, ginger trash heap'! He really deserved a slap but instead I came out with 'Just shut up you stupid ferret' That shut him up! I walked straight past him and into the great hall with whatever dignity I had left. He does my head in so badly!

I didn't bother telling Ron. God knows what he would have done. Probably something that would have lost Gryffindor 250 house points and detentions up till Christmas.

Nobody knows this, but I still have nightmares about being in the chamber. But some of the times they have different endings. My favourite one is where Harry confesses his undying love for me and we all live happily ever after. I wish that would of happened!

Harry's been through so much. My crush isn't just hero worship anymore. Its real. I can tell just by looking at him! Whenever I see him my legs turn to jelly and I get a fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach. If only he knew. Maybe things would be different. He might not look at me as Ron's little sister anymore.

This morning at the breakfast table was to much to bear. I walked in and took my place next to Ron and surveyed the scene in front of me. Harry had nicked Hermione's Muggle book, I don't know why I felt like I did. It felt weird. I wanted him to pay that much attention to me. I was jealous. Come to think of it, so was Ron. I sat there, just watching,. I couldn't take it anymore. Picking up my slice of toast, I finished it and stalked out of the great hall without a word to anyone.

Walking slower now I felt someone grab my wrist and pull me round to face them. Staring into cold blue eyes I heard,

"Go to the ball with me,"

float through my mind.

"Over my dea….." I stopped when I saw Harry walk out of the doors and watch the commotion. "Sure, Malfoy, I'd love to go to the ball with you." Then with one final glance at Harry I stalked up the stairs and back to the Gryffindor tower. Thanking whoever made it Saturday, I ran up stairs into the girls dormitory and flung myself on my bed and stayed there for the rest of the day, doing transfiguration homework.

At half past five, I knew what was going to come when I heard Ron shout up the stairs,

"Ginny! Get Down Here Now!"

Groaning, I dragged myself off my bed and walked down the stairs to the common room. Reaching the bottom of the stairs I saw three faces looking at me. Two with complete shock and one with complete guilt.

"You called?" I asked, deciding to play dumb.

"Please Say You Did Not Accept Malfoy's Invitation To The Ball!"

"Sorry to disappoint you."

"Why?"

"Why not?"

"GINNY!"

"Yes?" I asked

"I'm telling mum!"

"Go ahead. Like I care."

"Oh, you know you do."

"We'll see about that, wont we?" With that last remark I turned around and walked straight back up the stairs towards the fifth year, girl's dormitories.
