Ginny walked down the aisle of the Hogwarts engine searching for her friends. If this was any other year, she would be running by now. But since she was a prefect now, she had to walk which delayed her whopping 10 seconds. Of course she had to uphold the prefect title, she was also deathly afraid of Hermione.
Ginny was running quite fast. She wasn't thinking about where she was going and ended up at the end of the train. Ginny made a huffing sound and ran back up the train, this time slower and actually looking for her friends. She was too preoccupied to look in front of her. There was a startled yelp, until BAM Ginny was on top of some poor unsuspecting student. A scream escaped her mouth when she saw who it was. (A.N. as if u people don't already know who it is…) She looked down into pools of gray. They sort of reminded her of the unicorn's blood that Snape showed her. "Why am I thinking of unicorns blood at a time like this? I'm on top of Draco Malfoy!"
"Excuse me Red, Would you be so kind as to get off? I personally would like to breathe and with you sitting on top of me like that its getting kind of hard." Voiced Draco, with his lazy drawl. Ginny suddenly realized the compromising position she was in. During Draco's little speech, she had sat up and was now straddling his stomach.
There was a little cough from somewhere in front of her. Her flaming head shifted up to see who it was. Her mouth dropped open when she saw who it was.
"I'm not even going to ask.-" Vocalized Ron "-Maybe if I sort out what I have just seen, I'll throw you into your room and never let you out, but right now I'm just-no-not even going to ask." He passed by with a smiling Hermione, who was trying very hard to contain her laughing and the snickering boy-who-lived who said to her as he passes by "I'm just going to pretend that you were in the middle of punching him."
"Well, this sure has been fun, but next time you want to sit on top of me, make sure you ask first." Draco lifted Ginny of him and set her beside him. He stood up, straightened his robes and walked off without a second glance. Ginny glared at his retreating back, but it somehow faded. "There is something different about him. He hasn't insulted my family and he didn't even make a comment to Ron when he was standing right behind him." Ginny got up and continued looking for her friends. They were only a compartment away, "how lucky," she thought.
Right as she opened the door, she was bombarded with hugs all around. She was covered from head-to-toe. Not even her fiery hair was in sight. After everyone calmed down, they took their seats and continued their conversation as if Ginny had been there the whole time.
After half an hour of just talking Ginny got bored of the conversation and let her mind wander. She saw herself running through the meadows she saw outside, with he arms outstretched waiting for her lovers embrace. It was like a scene from a cheesy muggle movie. What she didn't expect was the person she was running to. He had beautiful blonde hair, almost white, and pale skin, but he didn't look sickly. He was quite handsome with gorgeous gray eyes. "DEAR MERLIN!" shrieked Ginny. Everyone stopped to look at her and continued with what they were doing. They were used to her sudden out bursts. She gave a nervous giggle and told her friends that she was going to go find her brother. "see you later" chorused the compartment.
The flaming haired girl left in search of her brother. "Oh lord, is that what I really think about Dr-Malfoy? C'mon he's not that good looking, well maybe he is, but that's not the point! I need to stop imagining Malfoy like that." She was shaken out of her thoughts when she saw a familiar figure. Calista sat in the corner of her compartment reading one of her school books. Ginny noted that the book was for her year. She opened up the compartment and walked in. Calista greeted her with a warm smile and put away her book. Ginny sat down across from her and she started asking questions about her, trying to get to know her better.
Ginny found out that Calista's parents had just recently died and now she is living with her brother and uncle. Her brother is just a year older than her, but was at St. Mungo's for treatment from a faulty potion that he had made. He was going to come to Hogwarts in one week.
"Um...Calista, can I ask you a question?" asked the red-head. Calista giggled. "If its about my uncle, then yes, he is professor Snape."
"Oh, wow. I didn't know old Snapey had a niece, or even a family. I just thought he was created by a potion-gone wrong.
Calista laughed at her last comment. "Does he actually let you call him that?"
"Hah! No" Ginny giggled as she remembered the last conversation she and Snape had.
::::Flashback:::::
Snape was busy making a potion, as usual while Ginny helped him.
"Hey Snape, since we're "friends" and all can I give you a nickname?"
"No"
"Awe, C'mon"
"No"
"How 'bout Mr. S"
"No"
"Snaperoo?"
"Definitely not" Said Snape, clearly aggravated
"Joe?"
"…"
"I GOT IT! Snapey!"
"Ginevra, when school comes around would you like me to drop your grades?"
"You can't do that!"
"I'm Snapey, I can do anything"
::::End Flash back::::
It was getting dark out side; they were getting really close to the school. Ginny told Calista it was time to change and she remembered it was time to go around the train and remind students to change. She bid Calista farewell and left the compartment.
Authors Notes: This was a longer chapter, hopefully it was better….right, right? The plot thickens the later woot woot!!
