Chapter 1~ The List
Ginny sat with her group at lunchtime. It was so pleasant sitting out on the green grass surrounded by beauty and watching the glass-like stillness of the lake.
She had only been back at Hogwarts for a month and, in that month, she had become a member of the 'in crowd'. (It was pretty easy for her as she had been out with so many guys at her school.) Over the past few weeks, her group had been playing a very scandalous game of 'truth or dare'. They never were allowed to pick 'truth' because it was too simple and so, everyone had to do a dare. The rules were simple. If you completed the dare, you were safe. If you didn't fulfil the requirements of the dare, you were kicked out of the group.
Ginny was quite nervous at this point because she was about to receive her first dare for the year. She hoped that Nancy Phillips wouldn't make it too hard. Nancy Phillips was the ringleader of her group and the most popular girl in their grade (she was in Ravenclaw). Ginny was second to Nancy and so, Nancy was constantly trying to find ways to get her kicked out of the group because she simply did not want the competition around.
Ginny sat, fidgeting with her hands as the group quietly discussed her dare. Finally, they erupted into a fit of giggles and came closer to Ginny once more.
'Alright,' Nancy said, a huge grin on her face. 'We've decided what you're going to do. We are going to come up with a list of ten guys' names from either our grade or the year above. You will have to go out with all ten guys and break up with them. You're going to have three weeks to do it in.'
'Three weeks!' Ginny protested. That's like. hook him on the first day and then break up with him the next!'
'Fine, you can have four weeks then,' Nancy said, a little annoyed by her protest.
'But people are going to think that I'm a slut!' Ginny said angrily, turning a light shade of pink.
'You know the rules Ginny,' Nancy said calmly. 'Either do the dare or get out. It's not bad at all. It's not like you have to go out with all of them simultaneously or anything'
Ginny sighed. 'Alright, I'll do it, only if I get to choose the next dare for a person of my choice.'
'Agreed,' Nancy smirked.
# Yeah, just you wait. I'm going to make the worst dare for you little Miss Nancy#
'We'll give you the list at the end of the day. Meet us in the Entrance Hall before dinner.'
'C'mon Danielle. Let's get to Herbology,' Ginny said. Danielle got up quietly. Ginny really liked Danielle. She was the kindest and most caring person in the group. She was in Hufflepuff so she was always very loyal to all of her friends. The only person she didn't really like in the group was Nancy. The truth was that no one in the group really liked Nancy, but since she seemed to 'get a lot of the guys', everyone just wanted to hang around her and was too scared to say anything.
'I can't believe Nancy gave me a dare like that,' Ginny said through clenched teeth. 'I mean, ten guys in four weeks. I'll be known as the sixth grade slut!'
'I'm sure she'll downsize the list. Surely she won't be that cold hearted,' Danielle said, trying to comfort Ginny.
'If that's what you think then you don't know Nancy. She just wants me out of the group, I know it. I heard her talking to Lizzy. Oh, why did I have to get the worst dare?'
'Hey, mine was pretty bad,' Danielle cut in. 'I mean c'mon. Flirting with that oily Professor Snape! He gave me detention for a week for "not concentrating hard enough on my work" (or so he said).'
'Yeah, I guess that was pretty bad,' Ginny laughed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The rest of the day seemed to whiz by and, in no time at all, Ginny was meeting Nancy in the Entrance Hall before dinner. 'Here's the list,' Nancy said, her blue eyes sparkling maliciously. Ginny skimmed over the names
Dean Thomas # crap I've already been out with him! # Terry Boot George Grayson Collin Creevy Neville Longbottom Harry Potter
'Harry!' Ginny exclaimed. I can't go out with him, I just can't.
'Why not? He's a boy just like anyone else in this school,' Nancy said coolly.
'But I.it's not. Please Nancy, can't you replace him with somebody else?'
'That's the dare Ginny. Either accept it or you can move your butt into another group. Or you can sit by yourself like a 'Nigel', either one,' Nancy walked away after the last line. Ginny looked at her enviously. Her hair was a dark brown and she was just as skinny as Ginny except that she had a few more 'curves' to her body (which all the guys seemed to go for) And all of her school uniforms hugged her on her hips and the other assets she had. Ginny only had two small uniforms, and the rest fitted her loosely. The reason for this was because he mother was only able to buy three new dresses that year and she had said that she would buy Ginny two more that fitted her better the next year.
Ginny continued to read the other names on the list.
Seamus Finnagan Blaise Gibbson Justin Finch-Fletchy Draco Malfoy
'What!' Ginny shouted. The students in the hall looked at her. She knew that she should have felt embarrassed, but right now, she was so angry that she couldn't have cared less. 'Oh stop sticky-beaking!' she snapped at the students who were still eyeing her with interest.
# Oh shit. This can't be happening to me, it just can't be happening. Most of them I don't mind, but Harry and Malfoy? How the hell am I going to pull this off? Oh c'mon, think Ginny think. Alright, this is the plan. I'll go out with Harry first and I'll go out with Draco last. Maybe if I do it that way, I might be able to get them to cut him off the list. Oh fuck, here comes Harry. #
'Hi Harry,' Ginny said more confidently than she felt.
'Oh, hi Ginny,' he grinned.
'Do you mind if I sit next to you at dinner? I need to tell Ron something anyway,' Ginny said lamely.
'Ah no, that'd be great,' Harry said a little confused.
'Good,' Ginny replied. She grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him through the crowd towards the Griffindor table. When everyone was seated, the food appeared at the tables and everyone began to enjoy the feast, well, everyone except for Ginny. She sat quietly trying to think of what to do next.
'Um, so what did you have to tell Ron?' Harry asked, trying to make conversation.
'Well I.' Ginny began as Ron looked up at her. 'I was wondering if you had seen my special quill. You know? The one that mom gave me on my birthday? I left it down in the common room last night and, when I remember this morning, its was gone.'
'Nope, sorry, haven't seen it,' Ron managed to say through his mouthful of chicken.
As Hermione, Ron and Harry chatted merrily together, Ginny felt more and more like she was going to be sick.
'Sorry, I think I should probably get an early night. I'm not feeling that well. Can I meet you for a minute at lunch tomorrow Harry?'
'Er, ok,' Harry said, an unsure sound to his voice.
'Great, see you all later.' In the Entrance Hall, Ginny saw Nancy.
'Saw that you've already hooked Potter in there,' Nancy said, her expression blank and unreadable.
'Yeah. I'm gonna meet with him tomorrow at lunch and then break it off the next day.'
'You're pretty good. Maybe one day you'll even be as good as me.'
#Yeah like I'd ever want to be like you, you slut #
'What are you doing out here anyway?'
'I don't eat much. I'm trying to keep my girlish figure,' Nancy laughed. Ginny put on a fake smile and walked away muttering under her breath.
She lay down on the couch in the Griffindor common room by the fire and closed her eyes in thought. About twenty minutes later, the rest of the Grinffindors filed into the common room as well. Harry, Ron and Hermione came and sat down in chairs surrounding Ginny. She really didn't really feel like talking so she kept her eyes closed, pretending that she was asleep.
As the minutes ticked on, Ginny noted that the babble of talking in the common room died off bit by bit until it was only Ginny and the other three left in the room.
Hermione must have gathered that Harry wanted to be alone with Ginny because she said, 'My Ron, look at the time. We should probably head off to bed.'
'Yeah, you're right. Coming Harry?'
'Nah, I'll stay down here a little bit longer.'
'Are you sure, I don't think that Ginny would make good conversation, I mean, she asleep.'
'Ok, Ron. Up we go now,' Hermione said, practically dragging Ron up the stairs.
Once they were gone, Harry gently shook Ginny. She opened her eyes and blinked at him.
'How about we look for your quill?' Harry said with a smile.
'Harry, that's very nice of you, but I'm kind of a little tired right now,' Ginny said, with a feigned yawn.
'Alright, why don't you go upstairs to bed and I'll look for it?' Harry replied.
# He's so sweet. I don't wanna break his heart. What should I tell him? #
'That's sweet Harry, but I already looked when I came up from dinner. No luck. Besides I really can't be bothered.'
'Did you want me to carry you up then?' Harry smile widened.
'Oh I wouldn't mind,' Ginny laughed.
'Alright. It's a deal.'
# Oh no! He's actually serious. #
'Hang on, I'll just get rid of this quickly,' he said, picking up a piece oh parchment thinking that it was a scrap piece of parchment.
'Oh that's mine,' Ginny said quickly making a grab for it.
# I left it on the table? Fuck! If there was a prize for being the most stupid person in the world I have no doubt that I would win it. Please don't turn it over, please don't turn it over. #
But, to Ginny's dismay, Harry turned it over. Ginny was silent as he read her list.
'So, this is yours?' he asked quietly. The smile had completely vanished from his face.
'Yes.'
'And what is it exactly?'
'Look Harry. There is this total bitch of a girl in my group called Nancy and we have all been playing truth or dare. So Nancy gave me this dare that I would have to go out and then break up with the ten guys on that list within four weeks and if I don't do it they're gonna throw me out of the group and I'll be left to basically face total humiliation,' Ginny said, her eyes downcast.
'I see. So is the only reason you wanted me to meet with you tomorrow?'
Ginny didn't answer. She couldn't and even if she did have something to say, she probably wouldn't have said it.
'Ginny, I really like you. I'm not sure if you haven noticed that by now but.well. I'll meet with you tomorrow. But do you think that after all this is over we could go out for real?'
Ginny was totally shocked. Before she even realised it, she had jumped up, thrown her arms around his neck and was kissing him.
# First just parted mouth, then a little tongue#
She quickly pulled back. I'll see you tomorrow Harry. I'm really sorry about all this.'
'You know, you really shouldn't have to do all this just to stay in a group,' Harry said gently.
'I know,' Ginny said as she caressed his hair. 'But you don't know what it's like Harry. You really have to be a girl to understand these kind of things.'
'Alright,' Harry said.
Ginny kissed him once more. And then they both went up to their dormitories separately.
# Oh my gosh. I'm actually falling for Harry now. I mean, I haven't had like a crush on him since second grade! He's just so sweet and understanding. I hope I don't fall for someone else on this list. Oh for goodness sake. I'm being silly. As if I could fall for any of those guys on the list besides Harry. #
And with that last thought, Ginny fell asleep.
