Chapter 3

(It starts with)

One thing I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

In the End

Linkin Park


A very weird day indeed

As she dropped out of the fireplace, she dusted the ash off of her robes. She was also greeted by glares, disapproving faces, and pained ones too. She stepped a foot out of the fireplace and there, the verbal fight started.

"Ginny! How could you let him do that?" screamed Ron on the couch, or what was supposed to be a couch in the living room.

"Let who do what exactly Ron? Please tell me because I don't really understand the part where you tried to punch my friend in the jaw?!" she equally retorted.

"Don't act that way! Please everybody just calm down! We will do this the rational way!" said Mrs. Weasley tending to Ron's bruise stomach, Ron wincing like mad even though Mrs. Weasley didn't even touch him yet.

'Urgh... That's one big arse bruise' Shiver Ginny contained a laugh at the choice of her words, but prepared to defend herself knowing her brothers would say something next.

"Ginny! What happened exactly?" asked the most rational one of the family: Charlie.

"Well, this is what happened: Ron just popped out of nowhere and punched my friend straight in the-"

"No! It was so I could save you from that gits li-"

"-Face! He tried to punch Draco Malfoy in the face!"

"Well, he does deserve that!" thought Harry pondering on what he said. Hermione just slapped him up-side the head and started to run her hand through Ron's hair. They became a couple when Hermione stayed over the summer and she accidentally let that slip. Then the word got around and everyone knew.

"Well, I wouldn't have if he hadn't tried to kiss my baby sister!" With that George and Fred prepared their fists while walking towards the fireplace to floo to the Malfoy mansion, stopped as soon as Mr. Weasley came through the door and heard the whole thing.

"Arthur dear, sit down. Now, listen here Virginia dear, what Ron did was very wrong. Punching the young boy like that. Probably has a broken jaw, but you-"

"How could you stick up for that prat? You're just saying that mum because you don't know him! Right Harry?!" screamed Ron.

"Well, he didn't even pick a fight with us when we passed near Karen's shoes. Maybe, we shouldn't have done anything in the first place..." Thought Harry slowly.

'There you go! That's the way to think Harry!' Ginny said smiling as everything was going in her favor.

"Don't interrupt ME when I'M talking RONALD WEASLEY!" she glared at him fiercely. "Gin-bubble SnickerSnicker, as much as Ron did the most damage, you did some yourself dear. You shouldn't have been hanging near the shops glass windows in such a manner with young Malfoy! Mr. Malfoy would have seen you and you know how he is." said Mrs. Weasley. 'So much for being in my favor.' She thought with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Malfoy?! Where?" screamed Mr. Weasley who came out with a muggle spatula in hand. 'Yes dad, you're capable of killing Mr. Malfoy with a metal spatula.' Thought Ginny trying to contain her giggling.

"No dad, even worse, his son." said Ron.

"Oh, the young lad that I ran into this morning was Draco Malfoy? My goodness, the boy changed!" said Mr. Weasley with a look on disbelief on his face.

"Yes, you see he was still a downright ass when we talked to him!" said Ron.

"No, actually he was such a nice boy. I was walking down one of the streets of Diagon Alley and suddenly, I see an old lady walking like anyone else on their way. Then her cane broke! Out of nowhere, the cane she was holding broke!" he said explaining with plenty of movements how it all happened. He almost poked Bill's eye out with his extravagant movements.

"Dad, we saw that too!" said Fred and George still chuckling to themselves about Ginny's nickname: Gin-bubble. SnickerSnicker

"So everyone looks at her, but no one had enough balls- excuse my language darling- to help the old lady! Then a boy with silvery eyes, muggle clothing and platinum blond hair comes to the madam's rescue. Out of a whole crowd, he was the only one who helped her. Then everyone looked at the boy and had such shocked faces. I wondered why, mind you, but then everyone got even more shocked when he smiled at the old lady and left. I didn't understand why until I talked to him. Then I noticed he had the looks of Lucius, but it couldn't be his son because I heard from Ron that he was a little demon! Guess I was wrong to trust Ron's word... Ginny are you ok, you look as red as our hair!"

'Don't laugh, if only they knew it was me that broke the cane... Don't laugh.' Then out of nowhere Ginny started to laugh. Everyone in the room started to look at her with confused faces or with looks of disapproval. Yes, she admitted she was the one that broke the cane when she touched the book and all sorts of weird things started to happen around her.

"Ginny! Don't laugh at the poor old lady." said Hermione trying to contain a little giggle herself. Then George and Fred started to laugh too then everyone else started to join in. Fred and George weren't laughing about the old lady though, they were laughing at Bill's strange face when he smelt something nasty go up his nose.

"Oh, great! That's my special omelet!" screamed Mr. Weasley running into the kitchen to come back grabbing the spatula from the coffee table. He started to cook the muggle way when one night he thought about it and found out he didn't know how to cook an omelet without magic.

After that happy, but weird moment, the tension in the room dropped way down.

"Gin-bubble SnickerSnicker, your school supplies are on your bed. For now, how about I go start supper. All of you can go play quidditch or a game of chess. Arthur, come with me."

"Ginny, come on let's play quidditch!" he said begging on his two knees which were getting dirty.

"No, Ron... I'm not in the mood. I'll just watch for now." She said as she sat on a bench outside of their house.

"Please! I said I was sorry for the stupid fight!"

"I forgive you, but No."

"Pretty please!"

"No."

"Come on!"

"Nope."

"Can you say anything but no?"

"Yes"

"Say it after I say the question. 'Play with us!'"

"No..."

"You could be so bloody ANNOYING!" he said jumping up from his last position.

"I know." she said smirking.

"Oh no! I know that smirk! It's Malfoy's! I swear to Merlin's beard, that you resemble a Slytherin from time to time!" he said in disbelief at how infuriating his sister can be and how much the smirk resembled Malfoy's.

"I try my best. Now if you excuse me, I'll be in my room arranging my stuff for tomorrow. We will be going to Hogwarts and you know how I am: always ready before anyone else. Call me when Dinner's ready."

"George, it seems that our little sister has grown up!" he said wrapping one of his arms around his brother's shoulder while wiping an imaginary tear at the corner of his eye.

"That she has!"

"Oh, shush up you two! You're both giving me a headache! Just play the damn game and get over with it!"

"Now, now Hermione, just because you became head girl doesn't mean you have to be all McGonagall on us."

"I so do not resemble professor McGonagall!" she said glaring at the twins.

"Yes, you do!" said the two twins jumping around.

"No, I don't!" said Hermione now turning green.

"Yes, you do!"

"NO, I DON'T and stop jumping around it's annoying!"

"What's happening to my family? Everyone is getting hyper!" screamed Ron prepared to rip his hair off if it continues.

"Ron, stop it with that, you'll just get bald in the end! Please, can we just play? We'll never get to play a game if we keep on fighting here!" said Harry whining.

"Oh you shush Harry! We are having a great view on the fight here! It looks very important from here!" said Charlie and Bill nodding their heads, laughing on the bench Ginny was previously sitting on.

"Important? Important! We are just wasting my time!" screamed Hermione now turning a shade of pink.

"Your time? My time is wasting too! Tomorrow we have to go to Hogwarts and look at us, we're fighting because of quidditch!" said Harry who was prepared to join Ron to see who could rip their hair out the fastest.

"Oh this game is cursed I tell you!" she said waving her arms in the air.

"Hermione, please! You just don't like the game because your scared Ron might get a boo-boo!" said Fred while batting his lashes and making kissing sounds. George was still jumping except he added the laughing.

"That isn't true!" she said blushing.

"Yes it is!" said everybody except Ron, he looked like he wanted to kill himself with his hair messed up, his extremely red ears and his extremely exaggerated smile which showed far too much teeth.

For the next twenty minutes, it continued like that. Everybody bickering about weird subjects ranging from Ron's big feet to Bill's weird nose. It stopped when Harry popped open the lid of the quidditch supplies and the bludgers ran after a screaming Hermione. The game started while Charlie and Bill laughed and pointed at Hermione trying to save herself.

While all of that was happening, Upstairs in Ginny's room...

As she pushed the doors to her room open, she grabbed her bags and started to pull her things out only to fold them and place them into one of her trunks at the bottom of her bed. She put all of her new clothes in, but the trunk still wasn't full. She added a few old robes, a few big t-shirts, that her brothers gave her, and her small dictionary sized makeup kit. She closed her first trunk and opened the second one. She pushed all her school supplies in, including ink bottles, plenty of parchment, quills, muggle pens and pencils, a leather bag made especially for her (her dad bought it for her while visiting muggle Canada), and her school books. Couldn't forget those, now could we? The bag was like a shoulder bag as big as a computer screen and was black.

'Now, where did I place the books that I bought? Ah here they are!' she thought as she found them under her bed. She pulled out the book that made her recall all of the things the voice told her. She gently opened the book scared of what might happen. She started to hear her heart beats in her head and bravely opened fully to see... a blank page. 'Well, that was embarrassing.' She thought as she snorted, but once again she turned the page to find something she would never ever dream about. She saw a picture of herself, with a small description under it.

Shocked and scared she closed the book. Yet, she could still clearly see the picture as if it was right in front of her face. 'No, that couldn't be me! Oh Merlin, who am I kidding? That girl is me!' she closed her eyes thinking it was all a bad dream. Too bad it wasn't.

'Oh man! Oh man! Oh man! This isn't happening! This is just too bloody weird!' she opened the page again to see her face looking straight at her. 'Oh... this sucks!' she thought as she put her hands in front of her face only to peek at the picture again between her fingers. Then after an eternity, there was a knock on her door.

"Ginny, may I come in?" asked Hermione.

"Hold on a minute."

"Alright! Fine, not a second more!" she said playfully. She waited, but she was really counting.

Ginny grabbed the book and started to look for a place to hide it. 'Oh look at the problems you caused!' she thought glaring at the book that looked back innocently with its red and golden patterns. As she ran around her room, Hermione arrived at 10 seconds. 'Oh shoot! Please give me a place to hide it!' Her prayers were answered as an idea popped into her head. She opened her trunk, pulled out her leather bag, shoved the book inside and placed it on her bed as the door opened.

"Well, I just wanted to say that it's time to eat! Supper's ready!" she said with a big smile.

"Alright! Shall we?" Ginny said a bit flushed from running around and thinking on her feet.

"We shall!" Hermione said as she looped her arms around Ginny and started to walk out of her friend's room and down the stairs to arrive in the kitchen. 'That was too close!' she thought slightly thanking her dad for the bag.

"Look George, it wasn't my fault your foot got stuck under the darn stairs!"

"Yes it was! You pushed me and BAM I'm stuck!"

"Well, you shouldn't have provoked me with your 'Oh look mom, Charlie has a girlfriend!' trick!" he said a bit pissed.

"Well, it's not my fault you said I was fat!" said George pouting. Everybody started to laugh while Hermione and Ginny took their seats.

"Alright you guys, I have an announcement!" said Mr. Weasley in a happy voice. "Fred, George, don't even think about putting that in the turkey! Now come on, this is important!" The twins looked at everybody innocently while everybody glared. "Alright, from today on, the magical world will be now referring to me as: The New Minister of Magic!" he said clapping his hands. Everybody stopped their glaring at the twins and looked at Mr. Weasley. After a few minutes, everybody happily smiled and said 'good job'. Yes, it was a joyous, but very weird day in the Burrow. Hopefully everything will return to normal when they would all go to Hogwarts.



At the Malfoy Mansion... In Draco's room on the 3rd floor...

Draco was on his bed reading a book called: Hell and everything like it. He just kept snorting at all of the things in it. 'Number 26: the worst thing that could happen is being castrated. Yeah... that's pretty bad.' He said as he turned a little bit paler than normal, if that was possible. 'Number 27: the worst thing that could happen is turning into a Death Eater. Well, that's new.' He said smirking. 'Number 28: getting chased by a shark without being able to scream because you're drowning. That's funny, it happened to me when I was eight years old, it wasn't as bad as being in a dark room for a long period of time... Ah well. Number 29: being trapped into a dark room for a long period of time. What the heck?! Geez, that's pretty freaky.' He thought as he blinked several times rapidly.

"Um, young Master?"

"Huh?" he said turning around seeing Pokey his personal house-elf. "Big Master wants yous to be down in the study. He says yous must be there. Big Master wants yous to be there now. Pokey is sorry for disturbing yous reading time sir." He said looking a bit scared. 'Can he stop it with his yous? It's so bloody freaking annoying!"

"It's ok Pokey. I'll be right there. Thanks." He said smiling at the house- elf. 'That's one weird name. Well, he is my friend so I have to respect his name.'

"Yous welcome sir! Anytime sir!" The house-elf said smiling. He left with a click of his fingers.

With a deep breath he prepared himself. He was wondering what his father prepared for him. The last time it was a very severe punishment because he had been out too late the other day and he came home drunk. He had to spend the day shopping with Kassie McEvan. Shiver A rich snobby and whorish bitch. Her name, NO, not even her name! The thought of her brought shivers down his spine and made his skin crawl.

"I hope I never see her again." Kassie Shiver had blond hair, green eyes and had a pretty figure, but she didn't have an ounce of intelligence at all! She was probably the vilest thing in the planet, well to him. She clung to him whenever she saw him. She was like a very huge leech that stuck to you no matter the cost. 'I hope she disappears, that death eater wanna be.' She wanted to be a death eater because Draco was going, more like forced to be initiated, so knowing that he would get married a few years after the initiation, she wanted to make sure he was hers. 'What a slut! I don't even like her! Maybe for a good fuck or two, but maybe not even that! Wanting to take his mind off Kassie Shiver and wince, he thought about the other time he entered his father's study...

'Yes, the duel... hm... the guy doesn't even have guts to take me on without his wand. That bastard...' He walked towards his father's study knowing that something bad was about to happen. He stayed in front of his father's study door or what he likes to call 'the gates of hell'. 'Did I scare you? I bet you that brought shivers down your spine! It did to mine!' Taking deeps breaths before putting his hand on the doorknob, he slowly turned it.
