"Ginny dear! Hurry Up! We'll be late for the train!"

Virginia Weasley heard the faint voice of her mom calling her. She was doing some last minute packing for her 7th and final year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. She was excited. After this year, she would be free. Free from this poor family of her. Free from her over-protective brothers. Of course, Ginny loved her family. Especially her mom and dad, but sometimes they would just annoy her. Her twin brothers, Fred and George were the worst. What with their practical jokes and all. What she loved best about this year was that the school would be rid of Draco Malfoy. The most disgusting human being (if you can even call him that) to walk the halls of Hogwart's. He teased Ginny from her first year, all the way through her sixth. Evil bastard.

By the time she got downstairs, her Mom, Dad and brother Ron were waiting by the front door, impatiently tapping their feet. She smiled to herself as she saw them waiting there for her. They'll never know I took so long on purpose, she thought.

"Through the barrier dear. Quickly now." her father said.

It was 10:58. They made it through the barrier in time to see teary-eyed mothers(of first years of course) waving to their children as the train was about to depart. She said a quick goodbye to her family, and boarded the train. As soon as she got her trunk put away, she set off in search of her best friend Jess. After looking, unsuccessfully, for 10 minutes, Ginny decided to settle down in her own compartment and wait for Jess to find her. 20 minutes later, the door opened with a bang. Thinking it was her friend, Ginny paid no mind. After a couple of minutes of silence, she looked up, a shocked expression over taking her face.

"Weasley," a familiar cold voice drawled.
