"Come on Gin. It's time to go. Wake up." Hermione pulled the covers off and started tickling Ginny.
Ginny yelped and mumbled,
"Okay, I'm getting up." Ginny got up and stretched. Then she went into her washroom and
showered. Ginny came out in a mini Jean skirt and a green halter top shirt. Her hair was down in curls.
Ginny grabbed her satchel and went downstairs for breakfast. Surprisingly, Ron and Harry were not
downstairs eating breakfast.
"'Mione, where's Ron and Harry?" Hermione burst out laughing.
"They were stupid enough to forget to pack and so Mrs. Weasley said they can't eat without
packing first. So now they are quickly throwing stuff into their trunks so they can eat."
"Oh. I guess that is funny." Ginny finished her muffin and went upstairs. She went into her room
and sat on her trunk. 'I had the most weirdest dream last night. Their was a Dragon and a fox in the middle
of a forest. They were sitting on a clearing and a pair of gray eyes were starring at them. The dragon flew
towards it and it ran off. The dragon and fox chased after it, and the fox spotted the tail of a white wolf. I
know this necklace is the cause of this dream, but what does it mean?' Ginny studied the necklace once
again and noticed something else about it. 'It's Slytherin colors. How odd. The person who had this
necklace made must have a relative in Slytherin and in Gryffindor. Because the fox is Gold with Ruby eyes.
I find it odd on how the dragon is the one that is silver and the fox is gold. I am assuming the fox is
representing me, because naturally foxes are red, and I have red hair.' As Ginny was thinking, her owl,
Dueir, came flying in through the window. He landed on Ginny's shoulder, disrupting her thoughts.
Ginny heard yelling, and went to go see what was happening. Mrs. Weasley was standing at the bottom of
the 3rd floor stairs, yelling up at Fred and George. Ginny glanced around her, and saw one of Fred's and
George's new experiments on the bottom of the stairs. It was a slivery substance and was climbing up the
stairs. Ginny muffled her laugh, and shook her head. 'They are always getting into trouble. Mum is still sore
about them not returning to school, but it does save more money.' Ginny went back into her room to grab her
trunk. She pulled it to the door of her room and then asked Hermione if she would help carry it downstairs.
They carried it downstairs, and then they went back upstairs to get Hermione's. In the kitchen, Ginny and
Hermione dropped the trunk. Ron and Harry finished packing their trunks and came downstairs with them.
Mr. Weasley was sitting in the kitchen, reading The Daily Prophet.
"Morning 'Mione and Gin. Just place your trunks by the door. Kingsley is letting us borrow his car.
He will be here in a few minutes." Ginny and Hermione placed their trunks by the front door. Ginny got
her satchel, that was on the table, and then sat down on her trunk. Kingsley arrived and everyone loaded
their school stuff into he boot of the car. They all got in and headed off to Kings Station.
All of the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione were gathered in front of the large scarlet steam engine. The
steam engine gave a whistle, and all the prolonging students hurried aboard the train. Students said
their good-byes to their parents.
"Good-bye Gin. Have fun and don't get into trouble. Don't forget to owl me and if Ron gets into
trouble, let me know," Mrs. Weasley said, giving Ginny one last hug. Ginny nodded and ran to get
aboard the train. The Hogwarts Express took off.
Ginny headed down the train, looking for an empty compartment. Her brother, Harry and Hermione took
off and went to go sit with their friends, leaving Ginny to find somewhere to sit. Ginny continued walking
down the train. She stopped at a door and opened it. Ginny looked inside and saw no one there. She
entered the compartment and sat down on one of the plush, scarlet sofa's. Ginny placed her satchel on
the seat next to her and opened it up. She pulled out her Advanced Potion's book and started reading it.
3 hours later
"Dear would you like anything from the trolley?" Ginny looked up from her book and then nodded as
she recognized the lunch witch. Ginny pulled out some money to pay for a box of Chocolate Frogs and some
Pumpkin Pastries. Ginny settled back down into her seat and went back to reading. The door opened again
and closed, but Ginny paid no attention to it, thinking that it was a couple looking for a private compartment.
Draco walked up and down the train looking for a empty compartment. He stopped in front of one and
opened it up. 'I am in luck. No one here.' Draco had not spotted the littlest Weasley laying on a sofa,
reading. Draco walked in and sat down on one of the sofa's. He closed his eye's and went to sleep.
The large white wolf was running through the pitch black forest. It was dark and the full moon was out.
There were tree's everywhere and as the wolf kept on running, the darker it seemed to get. He came across
a clearing and looked around. He lifted his head up in the air and took a deep breath. The smell was
strange. One he did not recognize, a smell of a creature he never smelt before. The wolf followed his nose.
He walked across the clearing and through another patch of forest. He came to another small clearing and
stopped at the edge of it. In the moonlight was a large object. The object was standing 25 feet tall, and had
silver scales with emerald green eyes. The dragon stood towering over a small golden fox that had ruby red
eyes. The fox was sitting on the grass, the moon shining on it. The fox looked around and soon came to the
spot where the wolf was standing at. The fox stood and started towards the wolf. The dragon also stood but
did not walk. He spreaded his powerful wings and took flight. The wolf watched the animal with awe, for it
had never seen such a animal in it's life before, and did not know the danger of it. The fox came up to the
wolf and asked 'Who are you and why are you here?' The wolf looked at the fox and blinked. 'Can you
understand me at all? Can you here me? Do you speak animalish?' The fox asked the wolf. The wolf
looked at the fox again and then spoke. 'I can completely understand you, but I am wondering why an
animal like you, is hanging with a unknown creature. And for who I am, I am the white wolf. I dwell in
the forest and live here. My name is Kiona and I am the leader of the wolf. Who are you if I may ask?'
The fox responded, 'My name is Gingiber. I am the fox of all foxes, and my friend is Fafnir, the dragon of
the forest. He protects the forest from the evil of all.' The wolf glanced up at the sky and saw that the
dragon had not stopped it's circling.
Draco was awakened by a knock on the door. He sat up and went to open the door. Hermione stood in
front of it.
"Have you seen Ginny?" Hermione asked glancing into the compartment, trying to see if she was
in there.
"Who?" Draco asked with a confused look on his face.
"Ginny Weasley? Ron's sister?"
"Oh, her. No I haven't." Draco was about to close the door and then Hermione stopped him from
doing so.
"Well anyways if you see her, can you tell her it is time to change into her robes. I advise you to do
the same and change." Hermione said, glancing at Draco's clothing. Hermione turned on her heel and left,
continuing her quest to find the youngest Weasley. 'How odd. Malfoy didn't say anything rude to me.' Draco
closed the door after Hermione left and went over to his bag. He opened it up and pulled out his robes and
slacks.
Ginny looked up from her book the moment she heard the door open. She spotted a blond haired boy
standing at the door, talking to a girl. Ginny listend closely and then heard her name. The boy closed
the door and went over to the couch he was sitting at. She saw him reach into his bag and pull out his
school robes and slacks. Then she saw him reach around him to pull off his shirt. The boy still had his
back turned and Ginny could not figure out who was in her compartment, changing. But still she
continued watching the boy change, not wanting to continue with her book.
As soon as his shirt was off, Draco put on the white button up shirt. He pulled on his black, silver and green
tie, and tied it up into it's knot. Then Draco pulled on his gray slacks, and finally put on his Slytherin robe.
Once done changing, Draco sat back down onto the sofa, and then spotted the red head girl starring at him
with large brown eyes. Draco jumped up and then looked at Ginny again.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Draco sputtered out, very rudely.
"My name is Virginia Wealsey and I was in here first. YOU came in here after me." Draco sneered
at the name Weasley. Then he shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I guess I didn't see you in here, otherwise I wouldn't be in here. Granger was looking for you.
Just to let you know. And she said to tell you to change." Draco turned away and went to go sit back down
on his sofa. Ginny made no movement to get up and start changing. She kept on looking at Draco,
wondering, why all of a sudden this boy who hated her family, was being all nice. Well not all nice, but nicer
than before.
"What do you want? Why do you keep looking at me? Don't you need to be changing?" Draco
asked.
"Well for one, I am not going to change with you sitting in here, starring at me. And for another I
keep looking at you because you have changed. You are not your old self, and I find it very intriguing. Why
have you all of a sudden started being nice to me, and Hermione?" Ginny responded to Draco, starring him
fully in the eye.
"That is known of your buisness. And as for changing, I guess you will have to leave, because I
sure in the hell is not leaving." Ginny continued her starring at Draco. ' I heard that his dad was killed by
Lord Voldemort. He must be going through hell right now. No one giving him any respect anymore. I
bet he doesn't have a single friend. And that is why he is in my compartment.'
"Why are you in this compartment and not with your friends?" Ginny asked nicely. Draco laughed
coldly.
"What friends? I don't have any friends. Friends are people who don't desert you when your father
is killed. Friends are people who respect your descisions no matter what, and stick by you through thick and
thin. I don't have any so called friends." Ginny put a look of sympathy on her faced and said.
"Oh. I am sorry you don't have any friends. I thought Parkinson, Crabbe, and Goyle were your
friends." Draco once again laughed coldly.
"They abandoned me a long time ago. Right before the summer started. They were in the inner
circle. They knew my father was about to be killed. I have no friends and no one to talk to. I am
surprised that I am actually sitting here talking to you about my problems." Ginny smiled and looked at
Draco kindly.
"Well, it is kind of surprising, but I am a kind person, and I hold no grudges against those who
have done nothing to me. You've always have been unkind to my family, but never me personally,
well excpet for that one incident in my first year." Draco looked up and saw Ginny's smiling face. He
tried to smile but he couldn't. He was still feeling betrayed inside.
The school train came to a stop at Hogsmeade, the wizarding villiage just outside of Hogwarts. Draco
stood up and grabbed his bag. He left the compartment in a flash. Ginny sat on the sofa, still thinking
how kind Draco had been right there. She completley forgot to change into her school robes.
Hermione walked down the train, making sure all the kids were off the train. She came to the end
compartment and opened it up.
"Hello? Anyone in here?" Hermione looked inside and spotted Ginny sitting on the sofa, still in
her muggle clothing.
"Gin? Are you okay?" Ginny looked up.
"You need to change into your robes. The train has stopped." Hermione left and got off the train.
Ginny quickly out on her black robe, not caring about the rest and grabbed her satchel. There was one
carriage left and Ginny got into it. Hermione was in it, along with a 3rd year Ravenclaw, and a girl around
Ginny's age.
"You have not put on your full uniform," the girl around Ginny's age said. She was a new firl, and
had jet black hair, with gray eyes.
"My name is Kianna Jaimes. You can call me Kia. I just moved here from Africa. My dad
works for the Ministry. He is in the International department. My mama looks after my little brother,
Brendan. What's your name?" Ginny smiled and said,
"My name is Virginia Weasley. I have six older brothers, and I am the youngest of my family. My
dad and my third brother works for the Ministry as well. I am in the Gryffindor house." The carriage stopped
in front of the large castle. Ginny, Nia, Hermione, and the 3rd year Ravenclaw, got out of the carriage. They
stood in front of the large castle. The large wooden doors stood open. Piles of childern were looming in front
of the gates, all trying to get inside from the poaring rain at the same time. Ginny took her sweet time and
danced around in the rain. 'Oh how I love the rain. It is so peacefull.' Ginny soon went inside with the others
and went to the main hall. She went over to an empty seat at the Gryffindor house table and sat in it.
All the first years, and Kia stood at the main hall door. They were all soaking wet, except for Kia.
Professor McGongall walked briskly to the front and placed a stool on to the ground. On top of the stool
sat an old tattered hat, with patches in it. The hat came to life and started singing,
i am indeed a filthy hat,
but i am sure that you know that
whenever a first year puts me on,
i will tell them where they belong!
you may prefer wise ravenclaw,
whos pride of brains we do adore
or maybe our brave griffindors,
who do not have any flaws.
yet again there is hufflepuff,
who find their loyalty quite enough.
but we cannot forget our slytherins,
whom we always forgive for their sins.
so put me on,
do not be afraid,
ill tell you where you belong,
even though im quite decayed!
After the sorting hat was done with the singing, Professor McGongall opened up her parchment and let it
loose. She called out the first name, Adkins, Joanne. Soon she came to Kia's name and Kia went to the
stool. She sat on top of it and placed the hat on her head.
"Hmm...how intresting. You are a going to be a fifth year, and yet you are being sorted. You are
brave, yet cunning. Hmm...how about SLYTHERIN!" Kia jumped off of the stool and went to the house that
was on their feet appaluding loudly. She went over to an empty seat and sat down. Ginny looked over to her
and gave a look of sympathy. Soon the last person was sorted. Professor Dumbledore stood up and made
his announcements.
"A few announcements and then we will eat. First years ought to know that the forest on the
grounds are forbidden. Mr. Filch has informed me for what he say's is the four hundred and sixty-third time,
that magic is not allowed in between classes among with numerous of other things that can be found in a list
on Mr. Flich's door. I am pleased to announce that we have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Will you please welcome Professor Nicholson. I will also like to welcome back Mr. Bill Weasley, he will be
teaching about breaking charms with Professor Flitwick." Everyone applauded politely. Ron muttered to
Hermione,
"Can we eat now?" Everyone turned their heads to look at Ron. He turned a crimson red.
"I guess we shall take Mr. Weasley's advice and eat." Plates of food appeared on every table. Ron
grabbed some fried chicken and piled mashed potatoes onto his plate. Ginny grabbed some chicken as well
and put it on her plate. She grabbed some biscuits and some mashed potatoes too. Ginny ate silently, not
aware of a pair of gray eyes watching her.
Across the hall Draco was sitting on the far end of the Slytherin table, next to some first years. Kia was
sitting across from him.
"Hi my name is Kianna Jaimes. I am from Africa. What's your name?" Draco looked up at the
cheerful girl and then said,
"My name is Draco Malfory. I am a sixth year." Draco returned to eating and Kia shrugged her
shoulders.
"How come you are so silent? And why are you sitting over here and not with your friends?"
"I am sitting here because I have no friends, and I am silent because I don't feel like talking.
Now can you please leave me alone so I can eat and then leave."
"Gosh. Aren't you rude. I was only trying to be nice and all. I guess I won't." Kianna finished
her meal and waited for them to be dismissed.
Once everyone was done eating the plates cleared and Professor Dumbledore stood up again.
"A few more announcements. We have some new Prefects this year and they are Virginia Weasley
from Gryffindor, Trey McMillian from Hufflepuff, Chris Bason from Slytherin and Melissa Villari from
Ravenclaw. Please come up and get your badges." The four prefects stood up and went to the head table to
collect their badges.
"Have a good night and sleep well. Classes begin tomorrow and you will get your schedule's
tomorrow during breakfast." Everyone started to clear out of the hall.
Ginny led the new group of first year's
along with Hermione up to the Gryffindor tower. She said the password, 'Blubberworm', and entered the
tower.
"First year girls head to the staircase to the left, your trunks are already up there. First door on the
right is your room. First year boy's, head to the staircase to the right. Your room is the first door on the left.
Good night and see you all at breakfast." Ginny headed up the girl staircase and headed to the fifth door on
right side. She entered the room and went straight to her bed.
Kianna followed the two Slytherin Prefects down to the dungeons, where the Slytherin Tower was. They
were told the password, 'Wolfsbane', and entered the room. Inside the common room was four large sofa's
and three small chairs. Kianna followed the other fifth year girls up to their room and she laid down on the
last empty bed, and went to sleep.
