Chapter Two: The Ride to Hogwarts

As it had turn out, Sylvia too got promoted to the seventh year. When Ginny told her parents everyone was really happy for her. Mr. Weasley treated Ginny to a congratulations dinner along with Sylvia. Ginny wanted to ask if Draco could come, but she didn't want her parents to know that she and Draco are friends or else god knows what he will do to him.

Two weeks later- the night before Ginny goes to Hogwarts, Sylvia slept over so that she would go to Hogwarts with the Weasleys.

~Sleepover night~ "So Sylvia, how are you and Blaise doing?" Ginny asked.

She and Sylvia were lying on their beds talking about the things they weren't able to talk about in Diagon Alley.

"We're ok. How about you and Colin?"

Ginny shrugged, Colin had asked Ginny out before summer vacation came around and Ginny said yes, but after about a week they broke up. Colin turned out to be gay. "Colin and I broke up a while ago."

Sylvia gasped, "Why? You two made such a cute couple."

Ginny took her pillow and threw it at Sylvia's face, "First of all, you never actually saw me and Colin doing anything together because we didn't and second, he's gay."

Sylvia bursted out laughing, but when she looked over to Ginny's serious face, she stopped. "You're serious."

"Yeah."

"You went out with a gay guy!"

"Sylvia! I don't care. Colin might be gay, but he's still a really good friend."

"You like him don't you?" Sylvia teased.

"No, I did in like third year, but then I got over him."

"Oh, so who do you like now?"

Ginny sighed, "No one right now."

"Maybe you and Draco should get together."

Ginny looked over to Sylvia as if she had just sprouted an extra head. "Are you insane?! Me and one of my best friends, hell no!"

"I'm just suggesting, I mean did you see the way he looked at your chest?"

Ginny ran over to Sylvia and tackled her to the floor then when she got a good reach to her ear she shouted, "NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!" Ginny got off Sylvia and sat back down on her bed.

Sylvia got up off the floor and tackled Ginny down, "I WAS JUST SUGGESTING." She shouted in Ginny's ear.

"Oh my god!" Ron had just walked in, "This better not be what I think it is."

"No Ron, me and Sylvia were just talking." Ginny said as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right, more like shouting. What happened to Hermione?"

"Oh she's down stairs, she said that she wanted to go and do some reading."

"Oh, well mom said that you two have to go to sleep now."

"Ok. Night Ronikkins."

"Night Ron." Said Sylvia holding back her giggles.

Ron grunted and left.

An hour after Ron left, Ginny sat up and inquired, "Sylvia? Are you awake?" Sylvia didn't respond so that was Ginny's OK to do what she always did at night. Write. Ginny wrote songs, not for money or anything, just so that one day she will be able to look back at these songs and see how she used to feel. So in other words, it was kind of like Ginny's diary. Ginny usually wrote when she had strong feeling for or against something or when some big event took place.

Tonight Ginny was going to write about how she felt at Diagon Ally. Even though it happened two weeks ago, Ginny still wanted to write about it. She started to write the song the night of the incident but she never finished it, so tonight she was going to finish it.

Ginny woke up to someone shaking her and whispering, "Ginny time to wake up." Ginny groaned and sat up, still with her eyes closed. She took her pillow and threw it at the whisperer, Sylvia.

Sylvia smirked, "Oh so you want to do it that way! Fine." Sylvia took her pillow and Ginny's and hit Ginny over the head with them over and over again.

Ginny screamed and jumped out of bed, "You little fish. I'm going, I'm going!" Ginny ran to the bathroom and slammed the door.

Twenty minutes later, Ginny came out of the bathroom ready. Her hair tied back, her vest on; she changed, took a shower, and was ready to go.

Sylvia smiled, "Glad to see you're an early bird."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Ginny headed downstairs with Sylvia behind her. Their stuff was already in the car.

"Good morning girls," Said Mrs. Weasley cheerily, "Now I want you to have a good breakfast because it's going to be a long trip to Hogwarts."

"Thank you mom." Ginny and Sylvia sat down and ate the plate of food in front of them.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley."

"My pleasure."

When Ginny and Sylvia were done, The Trio ran down the stairs and into the car.

"Mom, why don't they have to eat?" Ginny asked even though she could care less.

"They already ate."

"Oh. Well ok thanks again mom. I'm going to go now. I'll see you soon." Ginny kisses Mrs. Weasley and leaves.

"Thank you again Mrs. Weasley for having me over and I'll see you when I see you." Sylvia hugs Mrs. Weasley and leaves.

Mr. Weasley is taking them the platform nine and Three Quarters.

When Sylvia got into the car with Ginny, Ginny whispered, "Goody Two Shoes."

Sylvia looked over to Ginny innocently, "Whatever do you mean?"

~Train Ride~

When everyone got to the platform they all went their own way. Sylvia and Ginny went directly towards the train to the second compartment. That's where Ginny and co. always sat since they became friends.

When they got there, Draco and Blaise were already waiting. Sylvia and Blaise automatically went and sat next to each other while Draco and Ginny sat across from them. The four talked for a while about what they were going to do now that Draco and Ginny were Head Boy and Girl.

In mid conversation, the lunch lady came. "Anything off the trolley dears?" she asked polity. Everyone bought their lunch, sat down and ate while continuing on with their conversation.

When they were finished with their lunch, the conversation ended along with it. Ginny went to go and get her favorite book to read while Draco went to use the bathroom leaving god-knows-what Blaise and Sylvia were doing.

When Ginny came back, Draco was already in the room shooting death glares at Blaise. Ginny looked at him confused, "What's the matter?"

"These two love birds are finishing each others sentences thinking that they're so close that they can read each others minds."

Ginny bursted out laughing, "Are you serious?"

Sylvia rolled her eyes, "Well Blaise and I are closer than you and Draco."

Ginny stopped, "Are you kidding me? Draco and I are best buddies, I know him, just like I know you, like the back of this book." She said holding up her book.

"Oh really, lets prove it."

"How?"

"I brought along with me my Truth or Fact Book for Couples."

Draco and Ginny looked over at each other and shrugged, "Ok."

"Ok, what we do is say I ask Draco a question, like "what is Ginny's favorite color" and he answers it. You say whether or not it's correct. If it's correct then that means you guys move on to the next level. Each level gets harder. But if you get it wrong you stay at the same level until you get it right.

We alternate on who asks the questions to who and couple. Like if I asked you Ginny and whether or not you get it right or not, you ask me something about Blaise. Get it?" She explained.

"Yup." Draco and Ginny answered.

"Ok then let the game begin." Blaise said.

"You guys can ask us first." Sylvia said.

Draco shrugged, picked up the book and read the first question to Sylvia. That means that Blaise has to answer it. "What is Sylvia's favorite color?"

"That's easy, pink." Blaise said.

Sylvia gasped, "Blaise, my favorite color is blue! How can you get that wrong?"

"Well most girls like pink so I just assumed that you did too."

Sylvia glared at him and grabbed the book from Draco and read a question to Draco. "What is Ginny's favorite color?"

"That's easy, sea green."

"Yup."

Sylvia glared, "Beginner's luck."

Draco chuckled. Sylvia handed the book to Ginny and read a question to Sylvia, "What is Blaise's favorite food?"

"Uh tacos?"

"Nope. Trickle Tarts. How could you get that wrong, I always eat those."

As the game continued, Ginny and Draco got more correct as Blaise and Sylvia stayed at the same level until there were no more questions on the first level to ask anymore. Sylvia ended up fore fitting. "This is a stupid game anyways."

Ginny and Draco slapped high fives and congratulated each other. I didn't know that I knew so much about Draco. Wow it's amazing. Ginny thought. Draco was thinking the same thing.

Draco and Ginny had been best friends for a long time. As time progressed they learned more about each other, but they didn't really notice it until just now.

"I'm going to use the bathroom." Sylvia announced.

"Well you didn't have to tell everyone that." Draco teased.

"I'm going to too." Ginny said ignoring Draco's unnecessarily comment.

Ginny and Sylvia slowly walked to the bathroom. "Look Sylvia. You and Blaise are really close, maybe not as close you two think but still close. You guys have been friends for a long time, but maybe you two need to take it a notch down and learn about each other."

Sylvia spun around, "Ginny! This isn't some school lesson! This is my relationship with my boyfriend. We don't even know each others favorite color! That is sad beyond belief." She said this as tears spilled from her eyes.

Ginny grabbed Sylvia's shoulders and pulled her into a bear hug, "Sylvia calm down. It will be fine. Just give it some time. Come on lets go clean you up."

When they were done they headed back to the compartment and changed because over the intercom the captain announced that they would be arriving at Hogwarts in 10 minutes and everyone should go and change.

Draco and Blaise changed first while Ginny and Sylvia waited outside and then they switched.

When they were done, Draco and Blaise came in and sat back in their seats. "Oh shit my book's under my seat hold on let me get it." Ginny said, she got off her seat crawled under her chair, retrieved the book and just as she was about the sit down the train came to an terrible halt. Ginny lost her balance and fell forward.

Draco stretched out his arms and caught her. Ginny looked up to the beautiful gray eyes and thanked Draco and stood up. "Thanks. Uh-lets go you guys. We want to get some good seats this year." Ginny blushed while she said this.

"Yeah, let's go." Draco responded.

They entered the Great Hall, took their seats, watched the sorting, listened to Dumbledore's speech, ate and headed for their rooms.

Draco and Ginny of course did not follow the rest of the students to their dorms because they had their own rooms which turned out to be huge. Draco's room was right next to Ginny's. Their rooms were connected by a hallway with doors at each end.

They were both too tired to take a good look around the room. They both changed and went to bed ready for the first day of school.
