A/n: sorry it's taken so long to write anything. I'm not going to quit writing this, but I've been in quite and artistic block for a while….I haven't been able to draw or write anything! It's kinda depressing…but I guess I just have to see what comes out. I'm sorry if this chapter sucks….like I said, I'm currently in a writers block. But someone reviewed this story recently, and I have been meaning to update for a while….so here goes. Sorry about the long delay…I hope the next chapter comes out quickly, but I'm in the process of moving….so I don't think that'll happen…x.x sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own it.
Ginny's POV
Waking up is such a hassle…Why do we have to get up anyways? It's not like it's a school day…Oh shoot! It's Monday! Gin-girl, you're late! Hurry up and stop day dreaming! Those grey eyes can wait! My mind wandered as I hurried to get to class on time. Thank goodness it's Care of Magical Creatures…Hagrid isn't too harsh on late students. I'll just explain that I've had a rough night and I'll be fine.
I ran down the stairs as fast as I could, skipping over breakfast and hurrying to Hagrid's hut. Only then did I take a look at the time. Ten minutes to spare….at least I'm not late…though I'm going to regret skipping breakfast all together…
"Ginny, yer early! Would you like to help me set up?" Hagrid asked, smiling.
"Sure Hagrid. I'll help set up. What are we doing today anyways?" I replied, looking around.
"I have a special treat for you today! We're going into the Forest to see an old friend of mine!" Hagrid replied. "O' course, I asked him to come alone and without his family…they tend to get a bit excited around people."
"then what do we need to set up for?" I asked, looking around. "I mean, if we're going into the forest, why do we need to set something up?"
"Oh, well, we need some lamps. It's better not to use wands. It tends to spook him a bit." Hagrid replied, pointing out lamps.
The two of us got to work on lighting the lamps as the other students slowly made their way out to the hut.
Draco's POV
Well, Draco old boy, it's time to get going. You have to look good to try tempting that Weasley girl….Did I just think that?! No, you're still trying to find the girl from the dream. Focus! I shook my head as I started to get dressed. Since I have potions, it wont matter if I'm late or not. Snape wont punish me…at least, not in front of anyone. He'll wait to talk to me later.
Walking to potions, I couldn't help but wonder what Weaslette was doing….or how she handled her brother.
"Malfoy! How DARE you touch my sister!" Weasley yelled, being held back by Potter and the Mudblood.
"She didn't seem to mind…" I replied, putting my usual smirk on and taking satisfaction from his anger as his face turned brighter and brighter shades of red.
"Ron! Don't, he's not worth it." The mudblood said, as Weasley tried to break free even more than he had been before.
"awwww, need a mudblood to tell you what to do, Weasel? Too bad you can't think for yourself." I said, goading him on to see how red he'd get before he snapped.
He broke away from his friends and attacked, quite wildly. I stepped to the side, tripping him on my way.
"Too bad you can't even afford to buy yourself a little bit of brain, Weasley. It might help you to graduate. We all know you'll be stuck here forever, the rate you fail things." I said as I walked off and to potions, hearing the mudblood and Potter trying to console Weasley.
A good start to hopefully a good day…now about those doe-like eyes…..
Pansy's POV
Well, Drakie seems to be doing better…he even stopped to fight with the mudblood loving Weasley…maybe it was just a temporary problem. He seems over it. I guess I'll report back to the fan club that he's back to himself. I thought, as I walked into potions.
"Hi, Drakie-kins. You seem to be happy this morning." I said, fluttering my eyes. After all, what guy can resist a woman's charm?
"I was….until you came and bothered me. What do you want, Parkinson?" He asked, speaking coldly.
"How can you be so cold? I take this class and have been sitting by you all year…" I said, making sure to pout in a sexy expression. No man can resist my charm!
"Stop annoying me, Parkinson. Don't talk to me the rest of the day." Draco replied.
He's not back to himself yet. He must be thinking about something important…My father did mention that he's due to be initiated as a Death Eater this holiday break….maybe that's what he's worried about? Well, I'll have to see what the other girls could come up with.
Ron's POV
"That's it! Ginny is going to explain everything, from beginning to end! It's time she learns to be responsible and tell the truth!" I growled to Herm and Harry. After all, they should understand.
"Ron, you're over reacting. You know that if Ginny was being bothered, she'd tell us. Just because Malfoy said that she enjoyed that kiss, it doesn't mean she did. Why can't you trust her? She's nearly an adult." Herm replied, seeming annoyed and angry.
"Herm! She's just a little girl. She doesn't know how guys think! It's time that I had a talk with her about boys. She just doesn't seem to understand that I want what's best for her." I replied, with an exasperated sigh.
"Ron, she's NOT a little girl any more. She hasn't been for the past two or three YEARS. She's only a year younger than you. Stop treating her like a child!" Herm said before stomping off.
"I think she's angry, Ron…." Harry said, staring after Herm in a bit of shock. "But she does have a point…Ginny isn't a child anymore."
"Not you too, Harry. She's still a little girl. She should really go to an all girl's school. That would ensure that she didn't get into trouble…maybe I should talk to Mum about it…" I replied, smiling at my genius.
"Ron…she's 17. What were you doing at 17?" Harry asked.
"Last year…? I was studying." I replied.
"Ron, be serious. We both know that you were dating Herm and trying to stop Vol-I mean, He Who Must Not Be Named, with me." Harry replied. "She was with us when we found out about the prophesy."
"I know, Harry…it's just so hard to let my sister grow up. I suppose I should talk to her….and Herm. I guess I'm not that great of a big brother…locking her up like I've been. But she still needs to stay away from Malfoy." I replied, with a sigh.
Ginny's POV
Well, classes are over for the day…at least that's a plus….or it would be, if I didn't have to write 6 scrolls tonight. Honestly, all the teachers have to assign long projects on the same days. And I have potions tomorrow too…so that three scrolls has to be finished. At least I don't have Herbology or Transfiguration tomorrow…..I don't have to have the other three scrolls for another day.
So, I'm in the library, looking up the effects of Newts liver with mixed with dragon scale in powdered form. I would be able to write the whole thing off the top of my head if I knew that part of it…it's a good thing I know most of the effects of the ingredients when mixed….
"Need help, Weaslette?" I heard a voice drawl out as I reached for a book.
"What do you want, Malfoy? I'm kind of busy." I replied while grabbing the book and turning to glare at him.
"Do you need help or not, Weaslette?" he replied, grey eyes staring right into mine.
"I'm fine, Malfoy. I'm a big girl, I can do my own homework and everything." I replied while turning on my heel and heading off to work on the three scrolls.
"Funny, you're brother doesn't seem to think you're a big girl…." He replied, smirking and leaning against a book shelf.
"Don't talk about something you don't understand." I replied before turning my attention to the scrolls and ignoring him. He talked for a while, though I wasn't paying attention, before leaving.
It's going to be a long night…better check the book out and head for your dorm, Gin-girl….the library is going to close for the night soon….
In my dorm, I sighed. Only a few sentences left….then I'm for bed. Double potions tomorrow with Snape…hopefully it'll go by quickly….And DONE!
Climbing into bed, I fell asleep quickly. To have another of those weird dreams….
The girl sighed, getting tired of the other children shunning her. What right did they have, to treat her like she was a freak? It's not like they have the pressure of six older brothers. Not to mention their families aren't worrying about if they're a squib.
Sighing, the little girl played in a corner of the park by herself as the sun went down. The other children soon left with their respective adults. Of course, there were no parents with the little girl…They didn't even notice that she was missing.
The little girl looked around as everyone left, sighing sadly. Even if she seemed to be so happy…she was so lonely…nobody would play with her….and now they all left.
Except…the boy. Going over to the boy, the girl smiled. He seemed so different, but so much the same. He seemed so lonely…but he was always watching her. Always protecting her….somehow. Holding out a hand, she beckoned to him. The boy never replied to her beckons, usually he stayed out of her way, just watching. But today, something seemed different….maybe the fact that she came over to him and beckoned, not from a distance…
The boy hesitated before coming with her, the setting sun behind him making him seem almost angelic, especially with the light blonde, nearly white, hair. But he wore all black. Something that seemed odd for a child no older than eight.
As he walked with the girl, and came to where she could see him more clearly…she noticed the amazing, grey eyes…..
Ginny woke with a start, the grey eyes….seemed so familiar….
A/n: well, I'm leaving it here….I don't like the beginning of the chapter…it kinda sucked. Sorry about that! But I like the dream part. At least that was kinda interesting…? Tell me what you think! And sorry about the delay…like I said, I'm not writing well lately…x.x
