DISCLAIMER: J.K. owns all. I own nothing. She is rich. I am poor. The title
for the chapter comes from a song from the 80's.
Auther's Note: Umm....I have no idea where this is going at the moment. I just started typing and this is what came out. Blame my fingers for it.
"Ginny."
Virginia heard someone calling her name. She was too busy to care though. Right now, she was in the middle of being spoon fed icecream on the beach by a tall and very handsome man.
"GINNY!"
Suddenly, Virginia found herself sprawled out dazed and confused on the floor of the 5th year Gryffindor girls dormitory. Standing above her holding her blankets was Madeline, her best friend. She looked very annoyed.
"Finally. I have been trying to wake you up for the past fifteen minutes."
"Umm......Sorry.....I was......Sleeping...."
"I noticed. Now get your arse out of bed. You've already missed most of breakfast, and if you don't hurry up, you'll be late for class."
"Isn't it Sunday?" Virginia asked, still very much asleep.
Madeline sighed. "No Ginny. Yesterday was Sunday. Today is Monday and we have double Potions with the 6th year Slytherins."
Virginia groaned and crawled over to her dresser, where she proceeded to bang her head repeatedly against the hardwood drawers.
"What are you doing?" Madeline asked with her hands on her hips.
"I figure if I give myself a concussion, they can't make me go to Potions."
"Snape's an evil bastard. He'll find a way to make you go, and if he doesn't, he'll just give you twice as much homework."
Virginia sighed and continued to bang her head against the drawers.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
'Why did I have to be good at Potions?' Virginia asked herself. 'I could have excelled in Charms or Transfiguration, but noooo. I had to be all Potions happy. Now look where I am.' Virginia sighed as she set her bag, quil, and parchment next to Madeline's. She was good with Potions as well. 'At least I'm not alone..." she thought. Just then, Professor Snape walked into the room.
"Today you will be making a very complicated potion. So I want you to get into groups of two. I doubt any of you will be able to make this on your own." With a flick of his wand, the instructions appeared on the board.
"Begin."
Madeline and Virginia began setting up their cauldren and the necissary ingredients.
"Could you pass me that blue vial over there Gin?" Virginia reached for the vial. But before she could grab it, her elbow collided with a jar of powdered pixie wings. Both girls gasped and reached for the jar. Knocking over about eleven other jars/vials in the process. Afer a very loud crash and ingridients spilling everywhere, Virginia and Madeline slowly looked up into the fiery eyes of Professor Snape.
"Fifteen points from Gryffindor for your stupidity." Snape growled. "And since you two can not seem to work together without destroying half the classroom, I will be assigning you new partners." He seemed to be thinking for a moment, and then an evil smirk crossed his face.
"Malfoy, Zambini."
"Yes Professor?" The two boys choursed.
"You two will be working with our little trouble makers here. See to it that they don't cause anymore problems."
All three of them started to smirl maliciously. 'Is there some sort of Slytherin only class that teaches them how to do that?!' Virginia questioned in her mind.
"Of all the people in this entire class!" Madeline whispered angrily. "He had to choose them!"
Virginia sighed. She knew today was going to be hell. The bell sounded and class was dismissed. As they were walking towards the door, Snape stopped them.
"Where do you two think you are going?" Snape asked as he stepped in front of the door, blocking their exit.
"I'm gonna say Care Of Magical Creatures, but I'm wrong right?" Madeline asked Snape. His only response was another smirk as he pointed towards the mess they had made which was now turning a sick yellow and eating away at the desk.
"I want every drop cleaned up. No magic. I'll be sure to inform your other teachers of your where abouts."
Virginia and Madeline groaned as they handed over their wands. Today was going to be a long day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Three hours later, Virginia and Madeline walked into the Great Hall covered in yellow gunk and smelling like dead hippogriffs.
"I sware.....One of these days Snape is gonna push me too far and I'm just gonna blow his friggin' head off.....Or maybe I'll bash it in with a cauldren....Or mix up a deadly potion and watch him slowly die as his insides liquify......" Virginia sat at the end of the Gryffindor table listing out loud the number of different ways she could be rid of Snape. Unfortunately, they were all illegal.
"What's wrong Ginny?"
Virginia looked up to see Harry, Ron and Hermione staring at her with odd expressions on their faces.
Madeline answered for her. "Snape made us stay after class and clean up that giant stinking yellow mess WITHOUT any magic!"
"That's not all. He paired us up with Malfoy and Zambini for the new assignment we are doing." Virginia added.
"He WHAT?!" Ron yelled.
"I'm really sorry Gin." Harry put in as Hermione pushed Ron back into his seat and covered his mouth with her hand to stop the insults from flying out.
"Who's partnered up with who?" Hermione asked Madeline.
"I dunno....We haven't really decided yet." Virginia and Madeline glanced at eachother.
"I refuse to work with Malfoy." Madeline stated.
"Well I can't work with him! He hates my entire family!"
"He hates me more."
"Does not."
"Does too."
"DOES NOT!"
"DOES TOO!"
"CALM DOWN!" Harry yelled at them. "Just pick a number between one and ten. Loser has to be Malfoy's partner."
"Fine." Virginia thought for a moment and then chose, "Two."
"Eight."
Harry gave Virginia a look of pitty. "Sorry Gin. It was six. Madeline wins. You get Malfoy." Madeline grinned and stuck out her tongue.
"I'm so sorry for the both of you." Hermione said with a sad look on her face.
"Stop being so melodramatic 'Mione." Ron said. "It's just one potion. All they have to do is manage to go half a class without killing eachother."
"You are the last person who should be telling me not to be melodramatic!" Hermione yelled. "Besides, weren't you paying attention while Snape was explaining our next assignment yesterday?"
"...."
"We're making an invisibility draught."
"...."
Hermione gave a heavy sigh when all she recieved in response to her statement was four blank stares.
"It will take two and a half months to complete."
There was a loud "Sploosh" as Virginia's head fell into her lunch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Just as Virginia had suspected, her day only got worse. In Charms, she blew up her book bag and sent sparks flying everywhere, causing many students robes to catch fire, and their occupants to run screaming. During Divination, Professor Trelawney started shouting out that Virginia was going to die a horrible death within the next two weeks.
"Good." She mumbled to herself. "It'll save me the trouble of having to work with Malfoy for the next eternity. Maybe I'll be reincarnated as a cat next time....A big red fluffy cat."
At the moment she was in Transfiguration, trying to turn her parrot into a mouse. Although she couldn't quite imagine a situation where she would need to transform a parrot into a small rodent. She also couldn't understand why it was so friggin' hard to do.
"Come on you stupid little feathery monster from hell. Change into a mouse!"
The parrot only stared at her and said in a mocking tone, " Come on you stupid idiot! Change me into a mouse!" This pissed Virginia off. As if her day wasn't bad enough without a parrot bad mouthing her. They started to throw insults back and forth at one another. Some mighty angry words were exchanged and the bird ended up bitting down hard on Virginia's had. She countered by hitting the bird on the head with her wand while yelling, "CHANGE DAMN YOU! CHANGE!"
"Miss Weasley!" Professor Mogonogal yelled over all the laughter and squaking.
"What on Earth are you doing?!"
"The stupid bird wouldn't change." Virginia grumbled.
"It's not the parrot's job to perform the spell Miss Weasley. It's your's." Mogonogal told her in a stiff tone.
"Sorry Professor." Virginia mumbled.
"I will be seeing you in detention tonight Miss Weasley."
"Yes Professor." Virginia sighed and then growled as her parrot began to laugh manically.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"Wow Gin. Today was just not your day." Madeline and Virginia were sitting in the common room in front of the fire working on and essay for History Of Magic. Well, Virginia was working, Madeline was going on and on about how horrible today was for her.
"Yes Madeline, I know."
"I mean, first you over slept and missed breakfast." Madeline stated as she started counting off the days events on her fingers. "Then you got stuck with Malfoy. Ooooo, and you got your face all dirty at lunch. OH! And that incident in Transfiguration!"
"Bloody parrot..." Virginia mumbled.
"It doesn't stop there. There was the Charms fire, you fell off your broom in front of everyone, you tripped and slammed into that wall in History..."
"ALRIGHT!" Virginia yelled. "That's enough! I know how awful my day was. I WAS THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED! So stop reminding me of all the horrible crap I went through. In fact, don't ever remind me of anything ever again."
There was a long silence in which Virginia angrily worked on her essay, and Madeline looked as though she would explose if she didn't say something.
"Umm....Ginny...."
"Shhhhh Mad....I'm working."
"But Ginny......I really think I should say this."
"Not listening."
"But Gi-"
"La la la la la la la la!"
"GINNY!"
"Look Madeline, I just want to finish my essay, go to sleep, and forget this day ever happened." Virginia angrily told her friend.
"Ooookaaay.....But Mogonogal's gonna be pretty pissed off if you don't show up for detention."
Virginia looked at the clock to find that she was already twenty minutes late for her scheduled detention.
"SHIT MADELINE! WHY DIDN'TYOU TELL ME?!"
Madeline just sighed as she watched her friend run like hell out the common room door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Virginia collapsed in front of Mogonogal's office breathing very heavily. She felt as though she had run twelve miles in two minutes.
"I hate Mondays. I hate Mondays. I hate Mondays. I hate Mondays."
"Poor poor Weasley. Having a bad day are we?" A silky voice drawled.
Virginia turned and looked up to see the body of a tall blond Slytherin boy known to her as Malfoy.
"Shove it ferret boy."
"Ooo....Fiesty."
"What the hell are you doing here Malfoy?"
"I wanted to mkae your life miserable." He chuckled as Virginia glared at him. "Relax Weasel. I'm here because I have a detention to serve. Not everything revolves around you, you know."
"No, I suppose it revolves around you." She said sarcastically.
"Of course. You're not as stupid as you looke Weasley." Virginia rolled her eyes at him.
"Gee, thanks Malfoy." He smirked slightly at her. "Any time."
"Where's Mogonogal?"
"How should I know? The stupid old bat was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago."
Virginia sighed and remained on the ground waiting for Mogonogal to show up. She was begining to get bored, so she started searching for split ends in her hair. When she found one, she pulled it in half. She got tired of that though, and Malfoy kept making snyde remarks on how she couldn't even afford a proper shampoo. So she started counting the stains on the wall. 'Three hundred ninety four.....Three hundred ninety five.....' But soon she lost count and her mind started to drift. 'Hmmm......Sure is cold in here. Must be snowing out. I wonder how long I've been waiting. Malfoy hasn't said anything for a while. I don't think he's even moved at all.....Is he breathing?'
"What are you staring at Weasley?"
Virginia jumped. She hadn't even realized she'd been staring at all. "N- Nothing. What time is it? How long have we been waiting here?"
Malfoy sighed. "It's late, and we have been waiting for too long. I'm leaving."
"But what if Mogonogall shows up?"
"She'll get over it." Malfoy turned and began walking down the corridor back to the Slytherin common room.
"Goodnight Weasel."
Virginia sat on the ground for a few minutes longer before she too headed back to her common room for some rest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
The next morning, Virginia awoke to the sound of all the girls in her dorm talking. She immediately sat up.
"Oh no. Did I over sleep again?" Ginny cried.
Madeline rushed over to her and plopped down on her bed. "Nope. Well, yes but we don't have any classes today!"
"Is it Saturday?"
"No stupid!" Madeline rolled her eyes. "Dumbeldore announced at breakfast that all classes were to be cancelled."
"Really?!" Virginia asked happily. "Why?"
He friend shrugged. "Dunno."
"He called a meeting for all the teachers." One of her roommates, Elise, said. "I heard Flitwick and Trelawney talking this morning on my way to the Great Hall."
"I wonder what the meeting is about...." Virginia thought out loud.
"Who cares?!" A girl named Sara shouted. "As long as I don't have to do any work today."
All the girls agreed, but Virginia still couldn't help wondering if maybe something was very wrong. 'How often do classes get cancelled because of a meeting?' She thought to herself. 'I must be hanging around Ron too much. Everything has become a dark conspiracy to me.'
"What's wrong Ginny?" Madeline asked. "You looke like you're constipated."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
