"Remember I made you promise. I wouldn't have said that if I wasn't going here," Malfoy said.
"You know I've always been thinking about you the past few years since we've met," Ginny said wiping her tears. Malfoy smiled. "We can be together now." Malfoy's smile then disappeared. "What's wrong? We can still be together right?"
"You know there's a bunch of things that I think you have to know at Hogwarts. Like you're going to be sorted in different houses," Malfoy said.
"So you mean...we might not be together?" Ginny said softly.
"We can still see each other around the halls and on weekends..." Malfoy said.
"Well at least that's better than not seeing each other at all right?" Ginny said keeping her hopes up.
"Yeah," Malfoy said. "You'd better get dress in your Hogwarts uniform." Malfoy left the compartment to let Ginny change. Ginny quickly changed. When she was done there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Ginny said. Malfoy walked in.
"I got these out of the trolley. Maybe you'd want to have a snack," Malfoy said giving her a chocolate frog.
"Were you always like this? Always pleasing girls with food," Ginny asked.
"I only do that for you. It makes you happy. I like it when I see you happy," Malfoy said. The train suddenly jerked to a stop which made Ginny slam against Malfoy.
"Sorry," Ginny said. Malfoy laughed.
"It's alright. Guess we're here," Malfoy said. They both got out of the compartments and went outside. "Make sure you don't get boat sick."
"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked looking puzzled. Malfoy then pointed at the boats by the dock.
"Later Ginny," Malfoy said as he got in a golden carriage. Ginny slowly made her way in one of the boats. She then saw a big tall man by the dock.
"Hello everybody! First thing, welcome to Hogwarts! I'm Hagrid. Please make your way slowly to the boats," Hagrid said. Ginny hopped in a boat that was near her.
"Hey watch it! Some people here can get boat sick easily," said a pale looking boy with brown hair.
"Oh sorry, my bad," Ginny muttered.
"Don't mind him. He's got issues," said a dirty blonde haired girl.
"I'm Ginny Weasley," Ginny said.
"I'm Kristen Verdant," the dirty blonde haired girl said. "And that is Collin....what's his last name.... whatever..."
"Colin Creevy," the pale brown head boy said as he glared at Kristen.
"Nice to meet you two," Ginny said.
"Okay everybody! Row your boats!" Hagrid said. Ginny and Kristen grabbed their oars and started rowing.
"You two are slow. We're behind," Collin said looking at Ginny and Kristen.
"You know you could try to help us instead of just sitting there doing absolutely nothing," Ginny said.
"Ginny's right!" Kristen said.
"Like you two can make me," Collin said as he cleaned his camera.
"Oh prepare you dunce boy," Kristen said. She pounced on Collin.
"Noooooo!!!" Ginny yelled. The boat suddenly tipped over. Ginny, Kristen, and Collin both fell in the water. Ginny got knocked out and sank deeper in the lake.
"Where's Ginny?" Kristen asked Collin.
"I don't know?!?!" Collin said trying to catch his breath. Their boat suddenly had popped out of the lake. "Aah! Something's got me!!!" Collin and Kristen both were lifted up and were set on their both gently. Ginny suddenly rose up from the lake and was set down by Kristen and Collin. Collin put his head on Ginny's chest to check if her hearts still beating. "Her hearts not pumping!"
"What do we do?" Kristen asked looking down at Ginny.
"I'll do the mouth to mouth on her," Collin said. Collin did the mouth to mouth on Ginny. (Sorry I don't know the name of that hehehehe so please spare me.)He then pressed down against her chest a few times. Suddenly water came out of Ginny's mouth and she started coughing.
"Ginny! You're okay!" Kristen said as she hugged Ginny.
"We'd better start rowing again. We're really behind now," Collin said. Collin grabbed the oar that Ginny was using and started rowing with the help of Kristen. When they reached the Hogwarts dock everyone crowded around them.
"Ahem!" said a stern voice. "I am Professor McGonagall. Everyone please follow me to the ceremony in a mannerly order." Everyone became quiet and did what Professor McGonagall said. They all walked in the castle. Everyone was looking around and seems to be amazed. They were lead in front of a tall large door. It had suddenly swung opened. Everyone was seated in four separate tables. Ginny saw Malfoy staring at her. He gave a wink at her. Ginny blushed.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts," said an old looking wizard. "As for you first years. I'd like to humbly welcome you to Hogwarts. I am Albus Dumbledore. You will be sorted into four different houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Professor McGonagall the Sorting Hat please." Professor McGonagall walked by a stool with a hat. She brought it over in the middle so that everyone could see it. The hat suddenly sang. The first years awed at the hat with amazement.
"The Sorting will now begin in alphabetical order by last name. When I call your name please come and sit down on the stool. When you are sorted please sit with the rest of you house mates," Professor McGonagall said in a loud and clear voice. "Adeline, Abigail!"
"RAVENCLAW!!!" The Sorting Hat shouted.
"I hope we'll be in the same house! If not Ginny, we'll still be friends and will be able to talk if we're in different houses still right?" Kristen whispered to Ginny. Ginny nodded.
"That's like a 90% out 10% of getting in the same house. It all depends on you're personality," Collin said squeezing between Ginny and Kristen.
"I hope we're not going to be with you," Kristen said glaring at Collin.
"Creevy, Collin!" Professor McGonagall yelled. Collin walked up slowly and sat on the stool. He then smiled at Ginny and Kristen.
"GRYFFINDOR!!!" The Sorting Hat shouted.
"Fulcra, Frey!" Professor McGonagall yelled. A strawberry blonde haired walked up and sat on the stool. He smirked as everyone watched.
"SLYTHERIN!!!" The Sorting Hat shouted.
"I heard at the train that Slytherin is where You-Know-Who was sorted in when he was at Hogwarts. It gives me the creeps just saying the name," Kristen whispered. Ginny shivered.
"Weasley, Virginia!" Professor McGonagall yelled. Ginny walked to the stool and sat on it. Everyone was eying her. She heard the Sorting Hat talking to her. Hmmm another Weasley...That'll be easy. She heard the Sorting Hat said.
"GRYFFINDOR!!!" The Sorting Hat yelled. She walked towards the Gryffindor table.
"Ginny over here," Harry said. Ginny walked over by Harry. Harry scooted over for Ginny to sit next to him. Ginny sat down. Harry bent over to Ginny and gave her a hug.
"What was that for?" Ginny asked softly blushing hotly.
"Congratulation hug for being sorted here," Harry said smiling at Ginny. Ginny smiled back.
"GINNY!! I can't believe we're in the same house!!! Whoo hoo!! Creevy was wrong with his lame mathematical equation crap!" Kristen yelled. The whole Gryffindor table stared at Kristen. "Sorry..." Kristen sat across from Ginny. The sorting was finally over.
"THE FEAST WILL NOW BEGIN!" Professor Dumbledore said. With a snap every single table was filled with glorious food.
"This I could get use to," Collin said while grabbing a chicken leg and stuffing the meat inside his mouth.
"Have you no manners Creevy?" Kristen asked Collin while looking at him with disgust.
"Shuddup. I'm ungry I habent eadin since thiz mowning!" Collin said with a mouthful of food.
"I guess your mum doesn't make you food like this," Kristen said softly giving Collin an annoyed look.
"So Ginny...what happened to you?" Harry asked Ginny while taking a bite out of bread.
"Oh uh well on the way here we had a bit of an accident. Our boat tipped over because of those two," Ginny said glaring at Kristen and Collin.
"Oh...heh....must've been exciting," Harry said smiling at Ginny.
"Have you ever noticed Harry keeps smiling at Ginny?" Kristen said to Collin. Collin then spit out his food and stood up.
"HARRY POTTER!! I'M COLLIN CREEVY!!" Collin yelled taking out his camera and started taking pictures of Harry. Kristen grabbed Collin by his cloak and pulled him down.
"You bloody git. Look what you did to me!" Kristen yelled at Collin. Collin looked at Kristen and noticed that there was food all over her.
"Nice outfit?" Collin said giving a weak smile. Kristen clenched her fist and knocked Collin off his seat.
"That should keep him quiet," Kristen said trying to wipe the food that Collin had spit all over her.
"So anyways how did your summer go with Ron?" Harry asked.
"Well as always very hectic. Every guy I started talking to always seem to walk away from me whenever Ron was near me or walking towards me. He's too over protective," Ginny said.
"I am not!" Ron yelled at her.
"Are too!" Ginny spat back sticking out her tongue at him. "Wait a minute....I didn't see you or Harry at the train. Where were you?" Ginny raised an eyebrow at Harry and Ron.
"Uh...no where!" Harry and Ron both said at once.
"Sure...." Ginny said. She then looked behind her to see Malfoy talking to two people. Ginny sighed. The Welcome feast for the students had finally ended.
"Okay! Gryffindors please follow me!" Percy snapped. Ginny followed behind. Suddenly someone had grabbed her hand. Ginny turned around to find Malfoy standing right in front of her holding her hand.
"You scared me there for a second," Ginny said softly.
"I caught you staring at me at the feast," Malfoy smirked. "I just want to congratulate you."
"Thanks," Ginny said.
"Get away from her Malfoy!" An annoyed voice said.
"Oh great it's pothead," Malfoy mumbled.
"Harry," Ginny said turning to find Harry walking towards her.
"Shouldn't you be in bed by now Malfoy?" Harry asked coldly.
"Let's see...no," Malfoy said.
"What do you think you're doing to Ginny?!?!?" Harry snapped as he took Ginny's other hand.
"Nothing, she got lost and I told her where to go," Malfoy said letting go of Ginny's hand.
"That's the biggest fib you've ever told Malfoy," Harry said. Suddenly Professor Snape came.
"What is going on here?" Professor Snape asked while looking at Malfoy and Harry.
"Uh well Potter here decided to stay up late with his girlfriend. I saw them both and well I told them to go to bed but they refused to do what I said. Well mainly Potter. Weasley didn't do anything harsh. It was Potter's idea so he should be punished," Malfoy lied.
"Oh really, thank you Mr. Malfoy, as for you Mr. Potter, detention, and 50 points off Gryffindor for disobeying one of the rules. Ms. Weasley, I'd suggest for you not to do another foolish stunt like that or you'll be in trouble. I'm letting you go because Mr. Malfoy said you didn't do anything wrong," Professor Snape said. Professor Snape then strode off.
"I'll be seeing you in class Potter," Malfoy said.
"C'mon Ginny," Harry said. Ginny glanced at Malfoy and walked away. "That bloody Malfoy. What a bastard."
"Don't say that," Ginny said softly. Harry turned and saw Ginny following him.
"Well it is true Ginny! How could you like a guy like him?!?!" Harry asked. Ginny's eyes widened.
"So you knew Draco was Malfoy..." Ginny said.
"Yeah since the day you told me the one you cared for was him. I tried hard not to believe. How could you like a selfish bastard like him?" Harry asked looking at Ginny.
"I love him for what he did for me! He made my lifeless life live again with fun! My family didn't do that to me. They didn't treat me like what he treated me," Ginny said.
"He's changed Ginny! He's not the same Malfoy you knew back then! Haven't you heard that he's assigned as a death eater since the day he was born! He's destined to be one. I don't want you to get hurt! I care for you Ginny!!" Harry said.
"A death eater...." Ginny mumbled.
"I'm sorry Ginny; I had to tell you the truth about him. He's no good for you. It's better off without him..." Harry said putting his arms around Ginny. That night Ginny couldn't sleep. There was a lot of things on her mind; all of them about Draco Malfoy. 'I don't understand...why did he act like that. He shouldn't have gotten Harry into trouble. He did nothing. He should've fest up. Why did his personality changed? It's like he turned into a different person when Harry and Professor Snape came. But when I'm with him he seems to be the same nice Draco I knew back then. The Draco I've learned to love. The Draco that had fought for me. The Draco that cared and promised we'd be together. Has he really changed? Is he no longer the Draco Malfoy I have dreamt for several years? Is it also true about what Harry said....a death eater?' Ginny thought. A gust of wind had suddenly came out of nowhere. One of Ginny's books opened up. Ginny walked towards the table to close the book. 'I don't remember getting this book' Ginny thought. She flipped the pages but all of them were blank. 'I guess mum slipped it in my trunk as a present. It must be a type of journal. I guess it doesn't hurt expressing my feeling in it. I mean I don't need it for any of my subjects.' Ginny thought. She sat down and got out her new feathered pen.
Dear Journal,
My name is Ginny Weasley. I'm an 11 year old girl who has boy trouble. There's this guy that I love ever since we had first met. We made all these childish promises. We made a promise that we'd go to Hogwarts together and be with each other. We are together. But it seems as though my love one has changed; His personality anyhow. When he's around me he's the same loving and caring guy I knew, but when he's around others he acts different...like he's being forced into doing so.
A new friend of mine told me to stop seeing the guy I love. He told me he wasn't the same person anymore. The new friend of mine told me that he doesn't want me getting hurt by my lover. He then confessed that he cared for me too. I don't know what to do anymore! It seems, that I'd rather kill myself then go on through this wretched life of mine! Everything's different! It's not like before! Why has my life changed back to what it was back then? Why now, when I have just re-united with my lover? Has this world gone upside down?
I don't know exactly how to deal with this situation. I can't do this alone....I need help.
Yours Truly, Virginia G. Weasley
Ginny just sat there and stared at her writing not knowing what to do next. Suddenly all of her writing had disappeared. 'What's going on? It's like this book absorbed my ink..." Ginny thought. Then writing had appeared on the book saying:
'Why I think I know how to solve you're wretched problems Virginia......'
