Chapter 3
Back in Diagon Ally, things were as normal as they were year after year. People hustled and bustled in and out of each of the shops; many were Hogwarts students as well.
Ginny, Harry, and all the rest of her family searched for the spell books, and objects they needed this year.
In the bookshop, they split up. Fred and George had gone to look for a book called "Mischievous Makeovers", and their parents, with annoyed looks on their eyes followed them.
Ginny, Harry, and Ron had gone over to look at some books they would need this year.
"Aw, look Crabbe, Goyle, seems like we've run into the "Golden Trio" once again. Sure you've got enough money, Weasley, to buy that book there?" And all to familiar force filled with sarcasm, and smirks spoke.
They turned and saw Draco Malfoy pointing to a book that was barely one centimeter wide, and two centimeters long. Its title was too small to see.
"I sure as well have enough money to buy it Malfoy. But I bet you don't have the brains to read it." Ron stated.
Hermione, Ginny, and Harry stared at Ron. His joke had slightly backfired on him.
Crabbe, Goyle, and Malfoy walked away laughing loudly while making fun of Ron's hair.
"Hey Herm? Hasn't Malfoy gotten more handsome over the years?" Ginny said while looking at Malfoy's shiny blond hair that fell above his eyes. (Which, by they way was a very beautiful smoky silver.) Hermione and Ginny laughed and giggled like girls normally do.
Then, Ron poked Ginny in the stomach, really hard.
"Ouch! Ron, what was that for?" Ginny said, frustrated as she rubbed the place Ron had just smacked.
"Don't go falling for Draco Gin! He's bad stuff that one!" Ron looked at her with fire in his eyes.
"I wasn't!" Ginny said slightly blushing. "I was just kidding!" Ginny tried to cover herself up.
Harry rolled his eyes, and Ron looked at her once more before they both walked out of the store.
Ginny turned to Hermoine and whispered, "I was just stating the obvious!" Ginny and Hermione giggled. Malfoy was handsome, but neither of them would ever fall for him. He had treated them both like ashes in a fireplace ever since they had met him.
The rest of the family walked out of the store, heading towards Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

The Hogwarts Express let out a breath of steam, and blew its horn, warning its passengers that it was nearing ten o'clock.
"Goodbye mum." Ginny hugged her mother, trying hard to breathe as her mother squeezed tightly.
"Take care of yourself Ginny. Don't go getting into trouble. And please, if you need us don't fret to send Jasmine with a letter." Her mum bent down to whisper something in Ginny's ear.
"If those nightmares of yours get to be too much, please, Ginny, tell someone! I don't want you to spend the year a dreadful mess!" Her mother looked a Ginny with pleading eyes.
Ginny noticed that everyone else had already boarded the train, and she sighed, as she remembered she was once again the fourth wheel.
"Alright mum. I promise." Ginny tried to smile, so her mother would let her go.
As Ginny stepped onto the train, she waved to her mother and father, one final time.
She looked around for Hermione, Ron and Harry, to see which bunk they had sat in. She saw a flash of fluffy brown hair, and naturally thinking it was Hermione, she followed the girl and opened the door.
"Weasel? What are you doing here? Get out, before I—."
To her complete disgust, and utter surprise Ginny had accidentally stumbled into Malfoy's bunk. It was Pansy (Malfoy's girlfriend, also a Slytherin. She was a very ugly girl with large eyebrows, and very dark eyes hidden beneath them) that Ginny had followed, not Hermione.
"Stuff it Malfoy. I was looking for Ron's bunk, not yours. Now, I'll gladly leave you be." She left Malfoy staring daggers at her and slammed the door loudly.
Ginny walked past a few doors, and finally heard Ron's giddy laugh. She opened the door to see Hermione, Harry and of course Ron, all smiling and looking up at her.
"What's so funny?" Ginny paused for a moment, and then continued on when she got no answer.
"I can't believe you left me all alone back there! You wont believe whose trunk I stumbled into--." But before she could finish Ron cut her off and began to speak.
"So, Harry, do you know what kind of job your going to do? You know, after Hogwarts and all?" Ron looked at him, not realizing he had stopped Ginny mid sentence.
Ginny tried to talk to Hermione instead.
"Anyways, Herm! You wont believe who it was! I followed a girl thinking it was you and--." Ginny was cut off again, sadly by Hermione herself.
"I think I would like to be a teacher. That's the profession I could see myself doing, and enjoying the most. It's simply a matter of what kind of teacher." Hermione also didn't realize that Ginny was talking.
Ginny slid towards the window, pretending to be very interested in something outside. She had forgotten that fourth wheels never get a say in anything.
@uthors note: whew! *wipes forehead* I know that wasn't a long chapter, and no excitement or anything, but I'm completely drained of physical energy! School has taken its toll, and it's only the first day back after spring break! Hope you liked this one, and the next will be action packed, I promise! (and hope)
come on you guys! 2 reviews! I was hoping for at least 5!!...
