Everything Changes

Chapter Two: Planes

ONE WEEK LATER

Yesterday I had spent most of my time packing everything I thought I might need and a few things I didn't think I could live without into a trunk. Then I put some stuff that I might need into a carry on bag. After I finished I decide to spend as much time as I could with my mom since I wouldn't be seeing much of her for a while.

My dad was always away doing Ministry work so we rarely got to spend any time together. He was normally home for Christmas and New Years and a few times here and there throughout the year but other than that he was always gone.

My mom kept told me how much fun I would have and how much I would enjoy it. I didn't think so, of course, but I had set quietly listening to her talk while I replied with a few Okays here and there.

Today was different. I woke up early this morning and got ready to leave the only place that I had ever known as a home. It felt strange when we got in the car as I watched my whole life fade away in the distance.

But now here I sit in an airport chair with my mom beside me. We have been here for about five minutes and the plane was set to board any minute. I didn't have anything to say that wasn't already said. We set in silence until we heard that my plane was now boarding. Slowly we stood up and turned to each other for a tight hug.

"Remember dear, you can always write. In a few weeks I will be sending you your muggle school material since you want to get your diploma so much. Oh, and the key I gave you, try not to lose it. It goes to a vault at Gringott's Bank. You will have to withdraw some money to get your school supplies from there. And don't worry about how much everything costs. There is plenty in there to cover it and more. And try to get a few things for yourself, ok dear?"

"I will I promise!" Sighing I hugged my mother again before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I am going to miss you."

We dropped my luggage off at the baggage place and started heading towards the boarding gate. When we got there we saw a lady taking tickets so I dug mine out of my carry on bag and handed it to her before turning back to my mom.

"I love you mom."

"I love you too."

I turned back and quickly walked down the path towards the plane before looking back at my mom waving out the big window. I waved back and turned. I boarded the plane and found my sit towards the back by the window.

This was all new to me because I had never been on a plane before now and I didn't own a broom so I have never really been off the ground. I wasn't afraid of heights but the idea of crashing into the ground from so high up was unnerving.

I felt someone sit down beside me and when I looked over I saw an old lady. She was knitting some pink yard and didn't even acknowledge me. I was thankful for this because I really didn't feel like talking to anyone.

Before I knew it I had my seatbelt buckled and we were up in the air. It wasn't that bad after a while but my ears popped when we first took off and that worried me a little bit. I slowly started looking around. A bunch of people were reading newspapers or books and few were listening to CD's. I look towards the front of the plane and say an old western movie playing on a screen.

I didn't know how boring this flight was going to be but I was glad that I decided to bring my CD player and a few CD's aboard with me. I quickly pulled everything out and slipped the headphones on my head and over my ears. It took me a while flipping through my CD's to find something I wanted to listen to, and I finally did. I pulled out a burnt CD that had most of my favorite songs on it.

I didn't take long before Carmel by City High started filling my ears...

...You can say I'm plain Jane, but it's not the same
I ain't in to big names, but I like nice things
I watch boxing matches and uh football games
I wouldn't mind being an actress, but I love to sing

Soon after that I fell into a dreamless sleep.

A woke startled from a rough bout of turbulence and then I heard a male voice saying to put my seatbelt back on again. I quickly snapped it back on and turned off my CD player. I grabbed my carry on bag and throw it and my CD's into it. While I was doing that the plane had landed in Florida.

I watched the old lady gather her stuff up and get up. It took her a few minutes to get into the aile to exit the plane. I grabbed my bag and made my way off the plane before walking to the luggage claim. I heard my next flight being called so I dropped it off again. I hurried to the lady waiting to take my ticket by my boarding gate while I dug through my bag until I found my ticket and handed it to her before walking down the lane and unto the plane.

I sat by the window again but this time no one set beside me and I was thankful for that. I buckled my seatbelt and watched the ground fade away before I turn to the front and saw that another old movie was playing so I took out my player and continue to listen to the same CD.

Soon Mindy McCready's Ten Thousand Angels filled my ears. I felt some turbulence a few times and it worried me a little so I started singing the first part of the song and I soon found myself sleeping again.

.... Speaking of the devil
Look who just walked in
He knows just where to find me
Here we go again
I can tell he's gonna ask me to dance
But that's not as far as he wants to go
I need ten thousand angels to help me tell him no

When I woke up I felt like I had been sleeping for ages and I started to get restless. I hated sitting for this long of a time. Luckily, I didn't have to wait much longer because the plane was about to land so once again I buckled up and put everything away just in time to unbuckle and get off the plane.

As soon as I got down the stairs I moved out of everyone's way and started to stretch. My legs felt heavy from not being able to move them for the past who knows how many hours and I was slight surprised that I didn't have a leg cramp after all the sitting I did. After a few moments I started walking to the baggage claim and grabbed my stuff.

A/N: Here are my replies to my reviewers...

PoxapoexjAnN – I am glad that you like my story. I will try to keep updating but only as long as I get reviews like yours!  I hope you update This Cant Be Me soon. It is funny as hell. Can I say that word? Hmm. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IT TO GET A GOOD LAUGH. It is about Draco and Ginny switching bodies. LOL!

A. Nutter (a.k.a. Thelongestnameintheworld,butican'tbebotheredtowriteitout,soishallbecalledA.Nutter) – No I haven't got the Ginevra review yet. Keyword YET? I think everyone knows what her real name is but that doesn't mean us writers have to use it. I know the feeling about being impatient with the lack of good stories. I don't know who many times I look through the Draco/Ginny stories with hopes of finding something worth wild. It rarely happens that I actually find something though. I can't wait for In The Shadows to be updated. I really do like that story. IF ANYONE READS THIS AND HASN'T READ THAT STORY YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT. IT IS LOVELY TO SAY THE LEAST. It is about Ginny being is IN THE SHADOW of her brothers.
