Chapter 2

Turn it inside out so I can see

The part of you that's drifting over me

And when I wake you're, you're never there

But when I sleep you're, you're everywhere

You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far

Just tell me why you're here and who you are

'Cause every time I look

You're never there

And every time I sleep

You're always there


Everywhere

Michelle Branch


A very eventful day

As Ginny snapped out of her line of thought, she started to look for books in the old book section. She went in this section because she had enough money to buy books that were cheaper. With her 7 galleons, she also wanted to have enough money to buy sugar quills, cauldron cakes, and the new chocolate treat she wanted to try: chocolate pumpkin eyes.

As Ginny walked towards the farthest corner of the old section, which consisted of 4 rows of bookshelves, she noticed a red covered book with golden patterns that rolled around the contours of the book. It looked so new and compelling that she approached it without doubt. She didn't take notice of the key glowing around her neck. As she stood a few feet away, she felt a soft comfortable aura surround her whole body. Then without a second thought, she touched the cover of the magical book and felt a rush of power go through her. Her eyes started to turn from brown to dark red and suddenly the ground started to tremble all around her. The windows of the shop opened up and the book store was consumed with gusts of wind. The books near her started to shake, but suddenly everything stopped when Ginny pulled her hand from the book. In shock, Ginny just stared at her hand and at the book frozen in place. She snapped out of her trance, slowly, as she heard a familiar voice talking to her.

"Ginny! Are you ok? Ginny?!" Pansy started to shake her friend slowly.

"I'm fine... I'm fine. At least I think so." Ginny looked at the book and a voice started to talk to her.

"Virginia... Remember me? Yes, it's me, darling. Don't be afraid. It's me..." the voice said, comforting Ginny.

"I thought you were gone. I thought you would never talk to me again!" she said with a hint of sadness.

"Virginia dear, I'd never ever do that! Now, I came to tell you that the little earthquake you felt is normal."

"Normal?! Normal! How was that normal? I touch the book and poof, everything starts to shake!" she said with a red face. Yes, the Weasley temper started to rise.

"It's the minimum of what your power holds. More unusual happenings will be forming when you get to Hogwarts. The worst is to come young one and all will be revealed in time." the voice said a little too calmly for Ginny to handle.

"Wha... what do you mean the worst is to come?! I'm only 16! I haven't even had my first kiss! (A/n: I don't care if she did! In my story, she hasn't!) That can't be my power! I suck at defense against the dark arts, I almost failed potions last year and plus I don't even know how to... to start a fire with a stupid muggle lighter." she asked desperate to get out of this situation.

"Shhh... Listen dear, when the time is right, I will talk to you again. I promise it will be earlier than this." she said with a giggle. "Oh! Don't forget to buy this book! It's very important for the future. Remember your promise. You would protect the world no matter what! It's a wizards promise my dear, well witches... You can't break it! Now, buy this book it's only 2 galleons. I can't even remember how many years it's been on that shelf waiting for the right person to come by! Thank Merlin someone did! Well, I'm off! Oh and Ginny, you'll find your skills changing... a bit... here and there... hehe... Goodbye pumpkin! Before I go, a word of advice, don't buy cauldron cakes today! It seems roaches have gotten themselves stuck into the cake before they were going to get cooked! Ah well, tah-tah dear!"

"But... hey! Wait! No..."

"-It was so creepy! Everything started to shake and stuff! Well, I'm happy we're ok! You wanna go buy some cauldron cakes? I mean they a-"

"NO! No cauldron cake! It's bad!" Ginny said as she grabbed the book from the shelf and looked Pansy in the eye while saying that.

"Why? I thought you loved cauldron cakes!" she asked a bit confused.

"I do! But, someone told me that roaches have been hiding in the cauldron cakes these days and that they would stink up the whole place with wiz- roach spray on Saturday!" she said, making a little white lie about the bug spray.

"Eww! Now, that is so... Ew... Forget it! I lost my appetite! I'll just get something healthy for dinner... It's 11:30 and I'm starting to get hungry! Let's go eat at that new place called Wink! My aunt owns that place so we can get a discount!" she said smiling.

"It seems that there are a lot of new places and shops opening up!" Ginny said as she got interested into the conversation.

"Yeah! Come to think of it, they opened that new shop of clothing, Clothes from Joe's, the little resto-café of my aunt's also known as Wink, and there's another shop that will open at 1 called Karen's shoes. I visited that shop at 9 this morning! I had a V.I.P pass. They have great shoes!" she said with a smile as she pointed to the pairs of shoes she was wearing. It was one of those black sassy high-healed sandals you just couldn't ignore.

"Wow, those are pretty hot. Maybe I should drop by one of these days!"

"The best thing is, they have new styles every 3 weeks and they restock once a week so they can't possibly miss a shoe size. Plus, there's an extra! The shoes are pretty cheap!" she said all excited over the news. grumble grumble

"Well, how about we go grab that bite you were talking about, right after I have 5 minutes to myself and to take a look at the books in here." she said while blushing at her stomach. Giggling Pansy agreed and said she would be at the front and would wait no longer then 5 minutes before she would leave and close the shop for an hour break. She would leave Ginny in the shop until her break was over if she had too!

Ginny looked around the old section and saw a bunch of books she wanted. She looked at the prices for each book and decided she would take 4 books which were 1 galleon. She looked at the price on the red book and discovered it was 2 galleons.

"That's cheap for such a beautiful book! Anyways, it's not my loss!" she said as she took her books and went to the counter to pay. Once she was done, she was left with 2 galleons which were enough to buy 3 sacks of candy before going home.

As they left, they took a stop to buy candy and found lots of people there who wanted their money back because of the cauldron cakes. They were all screaming the same thing...

"We want our money back! We want our money back!"

The man at the front said they would get their money back if they would all stay into one line, but no one hear a word since it was a hundred people against one man. Anyways, Ginny squeezed herself through the crowd bought a sack of the new chocolate pumpkin eyes, a pouch of sugarquills and a bag of Choco-Cara-worms which was another new candy. They were gummy worms covered in frozen caramel and chocolate.

Once again, she squeezed through the crowd and paid for her candy, but not before whispering something into the ear of the boss of the shop.

"Tell them you will give them their 4 galleons back if they want but they could also have the choice of taking 6 sacks of the new chocolate pumpkin eyes or choco-cara-worms if they don't take their money back. Trust me it will help! They'll listen! No one can say no to chocolate!" Before she could take a step further the boss called her and tossed her 2 free sugarquills.

The man started to scream the proposal and suddenly the whole crowd went silent and decided that taking 6 packs of chocolate pumpkin eyes was way better. They all took 6 chocolate pumpkin eyes or/and choco-cara-worms and left the shop while tasting them. It seemed that they were big hits since children and adults had happy faces and didn't want their money back. Except a few people, who were either allergic to chocolate or people who just plainly wanted their money back.

As Pansy and Ginny walked towards the resto-café Wink, they noticed that a lot of people started to line up in front of Karen's shoes. Pansy looked at Ginny with a look that said I told you it was a good shop! Ginny just rolled her eyes and giggled a bit. When they entered, they took a boot near a window instead of the ones in the middle. Ginny looked around and notice that the place looked really cozy and that there was high chairs around a small ice cream bar in a corner. A mini-restaurant was in one of the corners of the building. It served all sorts of stuff, including Ginny's favorite muggle food: pizza and fries. True to its word, the place also had a mini café shop. It had all the morning beverages anyone could imagine!

"Do you want me to get you anything? Oh and don't forget, this place has everything you could ever want!" Pansy said.

"Yeah, um Pansy could you get me a Cesar salad, a Pepsi and something else you think I'll like."

"Alright Ginny, be right back! The line has like... 1... 3... 4... 6... 9 people waiting so it'll take a while... haha!"

Ginny looked around the room. Suddenly, her eyes drifted to the front door that had just opened. There, she saw an angel. The guy she saw had light blond hair and grey silver eyes. He was wearing a dark blue shirt that showed off his abs and black slacks. As he turned his head towards her, he smirked and started to walk her way. As Ginny realized who the blond beauty was, she totally froze. No one that mean, could look that hot!

"Virginia Weasel. You certainly have changed since the last I saw you." he said as he looked at her. Yes, he was sure she changed. Her hair was flowing down her shoulders in beautiful red waves and her curves certainly did her some good. Her beautiful brown eyes were shining in all of their glory and he was sure she held much more under those clothes.

"Well, you have changed too...ferret..." she said smirking.

"Well you have to admit, this ferret is hot." he said smirking to himself, while he looking into her eyes and starting a stare contest.

"True, true, but I've changed also! I've turned into one hot babe." she said smiling.

"True, true, but it seems your brothers haven't changed. I met them somewhere near here, they still have major problems. Especially Potter. I guess their brains will forever be damaged." he said smiling.

"Hey! I'll have you know that Hermione and Ron are perfectly sane!" she said playfully.

"...and scar face?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well... I don't know about him..." she said laughing. Draco just smiled and started playing with the salt and pepper on the table.

"Sorry to interrupt the um... conversation you're having with Mr. Pepper and Mrs. Salt. Yes... um... yeah!" she said looking at Draco like he was crazy. "Draco, you know you're hot stuff, but you don't have to flirt with every THING in sight! I mean ever since you started the rebellion thing with your father doesn't mean you could just hit on every single THING you find!" she said laughing. Ginny just smiled.

"Correction, I do have to hit on every girl and THING I see to piss my dad off! It's kind of part of my daily routine nowadays!" he said to Ginny.

"Here's your food Gin! Now, let me explain the thing with Draco. He started to rebel against his father this vacation for unknown reasons and its working. His father is starting to get really pissed at him and yet, his dad can't do anything because at birth, they signed a legal contract that entitles Draco to half of the money in the Malfoy Gringotts bank. That's already a lot. Now that Draco is holding the money in his hands, he can give it to anyone. He can spend it uselessly or give it to charities. Lucius Malfoy isn't very happy may I remind you and-"

"-And no, we usually don't spend money uselessly no matter what you think!" he said looking at Ginny.

"Like I was saying, before I got rudely interrupted... And now Lucius can't do anything. But, you know how Slytherins are: they're sly. So I bet you in no time Mr. Malfoy will find a solution to your family... problem. Aren't you happy you aren't rich Ginny? I'm happy that my mom did her will saying that I would inherit two thirds of the money in her bank! My dad would have spent it without a second glance if he had the money in his possession. Now my dad is spoiling me into giving him the money to spend it on You-Know- who's crap." she said whispering the last part.

"Too bad I don't have it." Pansy said laughing in a slytherin manner and bit into her burger.

"In other words, our lives suck. It's all about business with our parents really. But our generation of slytherins is smarter. If you know how to handle shit from your parents, you're good to go!" he said while grabbing a fry from Pansy's plate. She just glared at him and threw him a fry that was suppose to hit his face, instead he just caught it, dunked it in ketchup and smiled innocently.

"Riiiiight... So basically what you're saying is that it's better to be dead poor?" Ginny said watching the funny display. She had to admit she was jealous and so were other girls in the restaurant. She wanted to be the one throwing the little thing that went into his mouth. No, she wanted to be the thing in his mouth! 'What am I saying!? Snap out of it Gin-gal!' she said shaking her head.

"No, we're saying that our parents, mainly just our dads, are crack-pot people with nothing else to do but serve a special person in their lives. That person isn't the kid of their wives. It's someone everyone hates. Well, a few people don't." he said while eating another fry while Pansy just glared at him.

'I am not thinking about being the fry in his mouth! I am not thinking this...' she thought to herself while glaring at Draco's mouth and Pansy's fries. 'They don't deserve to be in there!' she said still glaring.

"You know, you don't have to be so mean! I bet Ginny would give me some of her fries gladly!" Draco changed place and sat next to Ginny. Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, he asked her for fries while doing exaggerated puppy eyes and batting his lashes. Ginny only looked at him in the eyes and laughed, but then her eyes drifted to his lips. 'Oh my...' Draco, also noticing that she didn't laugh anymore, stared at her lips. Bad thoughts were passing through his head. 'I barely even know her and look at me! I already want to kiss her... and more... oh heaven's buttocks! SNAP out of it BOY! Am I going insane? Ahhhh!' Their heads started to move closer to each other. But faith was not too happy with them it seems, because at that very moment, Ron, Harry and Hermione passed by the glass windows and saw their enemy's arm on Ginny's shoulders. Alarms started to ring through Pansy's head when Ron walked into the shop and approached their booth.

"Draco..."

"Not now Pansy..." he whispered as he got even closer to Ginny's lips.

"Draco!" Now, the alarms were screaming.

"Pansy, NOT now..." he was almost there...

"DRACO!" Pansy screamed getting up from the cushiony chair she was sitting on.

"WHAT?" BAM! Ron's fist collided with Draco's jaw and the fight began. Hermione tried to hold Ron back and tried convincing Harry to do the same, but he just watched with content what was happening. Pansy started to panic and begged for them to stop.

Ginny got up and realized what happened. She got really pissed and maybe, a bit flustered too. She sat up, went over to Ron and started to yell things that weren't suppose to be thought to kids before the aged of 10.

"RON! YOU DISRESPECTFUL, NO-GOOD, OVERPROTECTIVE JERK! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU LITTLE CRACK HOLE PRAT!?!?! WHAT in HEAVEN'S GLORY are you doing?!" she said with a red face.

"Getting that bastard off you that's what! He had no right to do that to you!" he said with a red face thinking he was the right one in the situation. He was acting like it was a normal to punch someone in public.

"Did it ever CROSS your MIND, I'm actually asking myself if you have ONE, that I WANTED that to HAPPEN!!!" she said while kneeling next to Draco, who with incredible speed got back up and kicked Ron in the gut. "DRACO, NO!" But, it was too late.

"What is your PROBLEM? I know you have MANY HUGE ASS PROBLEMS WEASLEY, BUT GEEZ?! Punching people out of nowhere!!!!!" he said as he was standing in front of a taller boy then himself who was now against the wall sitting on the floor in pain.

"DRACO! TWO WRONGS DOESN'T MAKE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, A RIGHT!" Ginny said while scolding him and waving her arms around wildly.

Her big brother, who was under much more pain then his enemy, kept sitting there on the cold floor of the restaurant in front of everyone who was watching. There was even a crowd of people in front of the glass windows staring intensely. Harry just glared at Draco like he started the fight. He just pointed his wand at Harry and said in a threatening voice. "Want some of this?! 'Cause there's plenty to go around!" He glared at Ron and Harry with eyes filled rage. Sadly, they thought that was his real temper. Draco knew how to control himself when he needed too. Except when he was truly pissed, then he couldn't. Those were the rare times...

As Ginny glared at Ron, Harry and Draco, she told Hermione she would be home soon and that they should leave without her. Hermione nodded and ran while 'wingardium-ed liviosa-ed' Ron to the twins shop heading to the Weasley's household. Harry, being his overprotective self, said they wouldn't leave without her. She just screamed at him to leave like Hermione did. He did leave, after the message sunk into his thick scull.

Everyone around the shop started to walk away slowly, thinking about what happened and spreading the rumor about the fight between Lucius' son, two of the Weasley children, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

"Pansy, tell your aunt that I'm sorry for ruining her new shop." she pointed to a dent on the wall Ron landed into.

"It's alright dear!" the aunt said while smiling slightly. "I haven't seen a fight in a while."

Looking strangely at Pansy's aunt, Ginny turned to Malfoy. "Um... I'm sorry for my brother overreacting. You know how the Weasley temper is!" she said embarrassed twirling her hands together.

"It's ok. I'll just heal myself with a spell and I'll be back to my good looking image." he said smirking lightly. Ginny stared at the bruise and unconsciously touched his jaw gently with her slender fingers. He winced a little when she pressed a bit too hard.

"You knew you shouldn't have punched him! You shouldn't have tried to kiss me either!" she stated.

"Well, I didn't see you pulling away from me. Besides, I wanted to." he said with a smile that made Ginny blush and turn her eyes away from his. Pansy was watching the whole moment unfold and new that they liked each other. 'Oh! I'm so playing matchmaker!' she thought giggling.

"So... yeah." Ginny said while looking at her feet.

"Yeah..." he said.

"Just KISS her already! You know you want too, boy!" said an old man who was watching the seen from outside. Laughing, Ginny looked up at him with eyes sparkling. With that, Draco put his hand beneath her chin and kissed her softly on the lips. It only lasted a few seconds for everybody in the shop found the scene cute and said "Awwwwwww!" or whistle. He whispered something into her ear for a while, then when pulled back. A blush formed on her cheeks and he left, smiling at her and waving to Pansy.

That afternoon, when she walked back to the twin's shop to get back home, she thought of the things he whispered into her ear and the kiss...

Flash back

As he leaned towards her direction, she felt a tingle down her spine. She also felt his hand on her waist. She whimpered a little bit when he pulled away but when she opened her eyes, she saw him smirking at her. His eyes were full of mischief and arrogance once she pulled away. What surprised her was when he leaned in and whispered something into her left ear.

"The next time I do that, it'll be in a more secluded place. See you at school... Weasel..." he told her. She barely heard what he said since she was caught in the feeling of his breath on her neck, not to mention the physical contact she got from his hand on her waist.

End flashback

Every time she thought about it, her stomach did flip-flops. He was everywhere! When she looked at anything silver it reminded her of him! 'Get him out! Get him out!' She knew she couldn't wait till he kissed her again, that's what confused her a little. When she would get home, she knew the moment of happiness would end. As she got into the fire place, she screamed the destination of doom.

"The Burrow!" Poof! She was gone.
