Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter or get money from this..yada yada yada..let's get on with the story!
Ginny Weasley was having the time of her life. She was blissfully unaware of the chaos that what happening downstairs. She was warm with snuggled up with her favorite item, her stuffed dragon Charlie got for her when she was three. She was smiling and occasionally giggling. She was asleep.
"GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY!" Ginny just made a sound resembling an injured cow and buried her head deeper into her thick fluffy comforter. Ron her brother, which was only one year older than her, burst into the room. "Get up Gin! We're going to be late!" Ron yelled exasperated.
Ginny managed a "Go 'way..." surprisingly from under her burrow of blankets. Ron just sighed. He left the room intending to return in a couple of minutes. Ginny was dead tired. She was up late doing the rest of her summer homework before her return to the prestigious Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ginny was slowly slipping back into euphoria when the door opened again. She waited for the sound of her mother yelling for her to get up, but nothing came. She decided it was nothing so she let down her guard. Little did little Gin know, Ron returned with his own little army to wake up their youngest and only sister.
The Weasley twins slipped inside with identical mischievous grins. They stood by Ginny's large collection of stuffed animals. Ron and Harry, the Weasley's "adopted" son, followed suit, but instead stood in front of Ginny's bed.
"On the count of three," Ron whispered to Harry. Ron silently counted off his fingers. "One...two...three, NOW!" The duo jump on top of Ginny's tiny twin bed.
"OOF," came out of the blankets. Right as her head popped out of the pile of blankets the twins pelted her with their supply of stuffed animals perturbing from the far corner of Ginny's room.
"OKAY...okay. I'll get up!" sighed a defeated groggy Ginny.
"Good, you better," sad Ron poking her leg.
"I will, once u two GET OFF ME!" cried Ginny a little flustered from having her old crush and her brother practically sitting on her. Harry gave her a nervous laugh and got off, while Ron just gave her a sheepish grin and pulled her out of bed. She laid there for a while sprawled across her floor while her brothers just looked at her.
"Erm..Can you boys leave so I can change?!" Said Ginny who was trying to keep her cool, but failing miserably. She was most definitely NOT a morning person. Ginny got another round of sheepish grins as her brothers exited her room. She slowly got up and piled her blankets onto her bed. She worked quietly while fixing her sheets and arranging her dolls and stuffed animals that her older brothers had thrown at her. Oh, she was going to get them back. They should know by now not to mess with Ginny in the morning. She was plotting in her head while she picked out her outfit for the day.
"I'm going to stick fake spiders charmed to wriggle into Ron's bed....Hmm...Pink or red shirt?...Oh..And Harry! Oooh, I'm going to get him soo bad, don't know how yet, but I will!..Skirt or Capri?" Ginny finally had her outfit planned out. She decided on a pink top with a single red heart on the right sleeve and a pair of faded blue jeans. She had packed the night before after she finished her homework. Ginny grabbed one of Charlie's old jumpers and headed downstairs. She liked the colors of Charlie's jumper rather than hers. Charlie's jumper was a deep royal blue with an embroidered with golden letters spelling "Charlie" above the single left breast pocket. Versus her tacky pink jumper with a large white "G" in the front. She stuffed it in her trunk for sentimental purposes anyway.
Everyone was sitting at the table trying to get down some food before the whole day of traveling. Ginny sat down in her usual spot between the twins. Since the twins "graduated" last year, or rather they ran out while their former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Umbridge they looked calm and collected while eating their breakfast while Ron and Harry practically inhaled their foods. Ginny finished her bowl of cereal and waited patiently for the others to finish. She excused herself to the living room where Harry, Ron, as well as Ginny's trunk sat. She sat in one of the old, overstuffed couches. She took in the other objects that were also there. Three cages and three brooms. It was Ginny's fifth year and she was made a prefect. For her reward for becoming a prefect she asked her parents for new robes that actually FIT her. Charlie got her a new owl and the twins got her a new broom with their small fortune from the grand opening of the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes for when she tries out for the Gryffindor quidditch team. Ron had a jealous fit after he saw Ginny's new Nimbus 2001, but hey, she's the baby of the family, the ONLY girl. Of course she was going to be spoiled by her loving older brothers.
Everyone finished their breakfast and piled into the living room. They were going to take a portkey because the ministry didn't trust Arthur Weasley with anything anymore, they wouldn't even lend them one ministry car.
"Alright Weasleys, On the count of three touch the portkey." came the low voice of the head of the Weasley Clan. The portkey was a little dingy teakettle.
"One....Two...Three" Ginny didn't take portkeys often and well, she didn't like too. She closed her eyes as she touched they portkey, there was a peculiar feeling of a rope tied around her waist near her navel and someone was on the other end tugging her towards them. Once she felt solid ground under her feet, she knew that it was safe to open her eyes. The sight in front of her brought a smile to her face. The scarlet engine that would bring her to her second home. Ginny missed her friends dearly; she never got to see them over the summer because her mother wanted all her children close to her at a time when Lord Voldemort was running around.
She bent down to pick up one end of her trunk, but was beaten by Fred who grabbed the handle while holding her new broom over his shoulder. George picked up the other side of the trunk and held on to Artemis, Ginny's black baby eagle owl. She was glad for once that her brothers were babying her.
Once she got inside, she changed into her new freshly stitch robes and pinned her prefects badge to the front of it. She admired herself in the window for a while until she realized she had to sit in front of the train for prefects meeting. She passed by compartments and compartments when someone caught her eye. Ginny had never seen the girl before. She looked to be around Ginny's age so she decided to introduce herself.
"Hi! I haven't seen you at Hogwarts before, are you new?" Ginny was admiring her long black hair. She wished that her hair would just be thick and straight instead of fat curls at the ends of her hair. The strange new girl looked up and smiled
"Oh, I'm an exchange student from Durmstrang." Ginny smiled and stuck out her hand for her to shake it.
"My name is Ginny Weasley" The exchange student took and her hand and shook it.
"My name is Calista Snape" She said as she retracted her hand "Oh that's a nice name-WHAT?!"
