Elladora: That's a good question. Why isn't Ginny freaking out? I don't think she's actually realised what it means yet!
Slytherinphoenix7: Colin is just... Colin! I have no feelings for Colin! He isn't in my "favourite characters list" (Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Harry, Hermione etc). He's not in my "I hate you please die list" (Cho, Umbridge, Bellatrix, etc). He's just... there!
Insertgoodnamehere: Le sigh. Did you read my warning at the beginning?? It's AU! It's my rewrite! Sirius doesn't die! And Fred and George... well you'll just have to see!
Padfootz: Squueeee!
Raiining: I forgot I wrote that...!!
Sunday Afternoon, clear sky with a slight breeze, sitting on a blanket overlooking the lake
Oh don't look so worried! I didn't really say that to Colin, honestly. Right now I'm picnicking with the girls, since we've hardly had time to catch up. I've been here since lunchtime and I don't plan on leaving ever again. It's really nice down here actually.
And Sophia has never been happier. She is Colin free!
Unfortunately after I managed to pry Colin away from Sophia (thankfully not with my wand... Sophia just told me something about a crowbar. Right....) he then proceeded to follow me around for the rest of the night!
He probably would have today but his brother Dennis persuaded him to do something together. Thank you Merlin for Dennis Creevey.
Honestly, I can't blame Colin from following me around. Oh wait, that came out conceited. Oops. Let me go into Humble Ginny mode.
Now, where was I? Colin and I have been friends since first year (Ron actually mentioned something to me once about a Harry Potter fan club... what?) but I don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him to sod off. I really don't know why Colin chose me (rubbish! Of course I know why!!) to follow around, but well... I would rather send him back to Sophia.
Maybe I can use Spellotape and bind the two together or something? Use Locomotor Mortis on him??
Or not.
Sunday Night, raining (typical), my four poster
On the Ron and Hermione front, things are picking up. Accidentally walked in on them snogging. Never want to see it again, but I bet you with my luck, I probably will.
Also talked to Harry at dinnertime (while Ron and Hermione were staring at each other, starry-eyed).
"I half wish we never got them together." He said gloomily. "It's not fun when your two best friends are in love. Nothing you want to see either."
"No." I said in agreement, watching Ron and Hermione.
"It's sickening is what it is." Madison said in a low voice as Hermione batted her lashes. "Has Hermione lost half her brain or something?"
"Better Ron than Goldstein." Azriel, the Ever Wise, pointed out.
"DEFINITELY." Harry and I agreed simultaneously.
Sophia, Madison and Azriel all laughed. "Wow, you two are really connected. You think the same." Madison said slyly.
"Not really." I said, raising an eyebrow at her. I knew what she was doing.
"I think so too." Sophia agrees and ever so casually, glances over at Ravenclaw table. More specifically, at Cho.
"HEY GIN!" Colin hollered from his other end of the table.
"Oh Merlin have mercy." I groaned, and slumped down out of sight.
"Colin?" Harry asked, looking amused. "Fancies you does he?"
"God I hope not."
"Thanks again Gin." Sophia said apologetically as... guess who? Colin of course, comes along.
"Hi Ginny!!"
"Hello Colin."
"How are you? I'm really sorry to hear about Michael."
I snorted. "Don't be. That was old news anyway."
"Um. Okay..."
"Yes." Sophia came to my rescue. "See you later Colin."
"Oh yes of course. Bye. Bye Ginny. Harry." He left the Great Hall.
"Thanks." I whispered.
"I owe you." Sophia said, shaking her head. "Now that I'm stalker free. Honestly, he's like Michael, but nerdier."
"And more stalkeresque. Michael just didn't stop being persistent with his letters. Colin actually approaches me more." I said. None of us realised Harry was listening, of course. We kind of forgot he was there till we noticed he was looking amused. He snickered.
"Oh shut up Harry." I said, shaking my head. "You can't honestly expect me to believe your relationship with Cho is perfect?"
Harry grinned sheepishly. "Well no relationship is perfect Gin."
"Yeah, if you say so Potter. But really, I think you're making up excuses." I informed him.
"ME? Never!!"
"Hmm well I'm full, so I guess I'll just head back to Gryffindor tower." Madison said casually.
"I'll join you."
"Yeah, me too. See you Gin."
"Huh? Oh, wait for me!" I scrambled out of my seat and followed them.
"Can you say major flirting?" Madison asked me.
"Between who? Ron and Hermione? That wasn't flirting that was just sickening. I mean, he's my brother! I shouldn't have to watch that! Speaking of which, I should touch base with Fred and George to see how they're coping."
"Yeah whatever Weasley. But really, I think you're making up excuses." Azriel smirked.
I hit her on the back of her head. And then, who should we stumble upon but a Slytherin boy picking on Colin Creevey?
"Tarantella!" Yells the Slytherin.
"Hey! Finite Incantem!" I call out. Just as Snape rounds the corner.
"Duelling I see? Right, Zabini, Weasley, to my office." Snape smiles evilly. Evil, evil potions master!!
"But-"
"No buts Ms. Weasley!! What are you staring at Ladonna, Sheera, Ms...?" Haha! Snape doesn't know Sophia's last name!
"It's To-" Sophia said, rolling here eyes.
"Nothing Sir, but Ginny didn't-" Azriel begins at the same time.
"Oh keep quiet please. I saw what I saw. Mr. Creevey, back to Gryffindor tower." Snape cuts them both off.
"But P-Professor Snape, Ginny stood up for me." Colin informed him nervously.
"Ridiculous. Ms. Weasley was duelling with Mr. Zabini. Why would Blaise be picking on you? I'm sure he has better things to do." Snape said, sneering.
"Of course Sir."
"But Professor Snape-" Azriel and Colin try to say.
"Quiet, both of you!" Snape snarls. "To my office Ms. Weasley, Mr. Zabini. Now! Mr. Creevey, Ms. Ladonna, Ms. Sheera, Ms... just get back to your common rooms!"
And yes, that is my tragic tale. Detention tomorrow night, cleaning bedpans with no magic. And typically, Blaise gets to 'help' Snape with some errands. Hmm now whatever could that be? Try, uh... NOTHING!!
At least I don't have detention on Saturday. Speaking of, Parvati and Lavendar want to make me over again. Please Merlin, no!
Monday Afternoon, cold and dark, History of Magic
And Binns waffles on and on and on and on and... oh sorry, I'm losing my mind.
Who really cares about why centaurs didn't want to be part of some ministry thing anyway? Didn't we do this last year? I'm going to ask Azriel.
Didn't we do this last year?
Um. No.
Are you sure?
Yes?
What makes you so sure?
Well I'm not really sure; I was asleep most of last year. But I think it had something to do with centaurs. Hold on. I'll ask Madison.
Azriel is writing a note to Madison now. Yes, it is true. I use my diary to write notes in. It's easy really; a quick invisibility spell on whatever I wrote before, or just turn to a fresh page. Nobody needs to know what I write in here.
She says last year we did something about witch burning.
Oh I see.
Yeah. She said that Sophia said that we should pay attention because this will be on exams.
She sounds like Hermione.
Scary, isn't it? Sophia has been replaced with Hermione, who has been replaced with, hmm I dunno. Parvati?
Why Parvati?
Not to burst your bubble, but Gin, have you seen her and Ron?
Well I try not to. It disgusts me; I don't want my brother exchanging spit right in front of me. How does this relate to Parvati?
Well you got them together in the first place. Forget Parvati.
A mistake I sorely regret and will do so for the rest of my life. No really, I'd like to know.
At least if they have kids they'll name them after you and Harry. Out of gratefulness I suppose. And FORGET PARVATI!!!!
No, because they don't know of mine and Harry's part in their little romance. Furthermore, I think mum was half passed out when she named me Ginevra. I wouldn't wish it upon any other child. Alright, Parvati is forgotten.
True. But it's better than Azriella. Thankyou.
Also true. That's like what... Ariel with a Z squished with Ella? You're welcome, by the way. Though I'd still like to know.
Please don't remind me. And you will never know.
Well girls, my mother named me Madison Belinda Sheera. I think she was on Prozac at the time.
Belinda? That's a perfectly normal name. And what's Prozac?
Oh Azriel and Madison have stopped writing. Binns glanced at us for a moment. Oh please, grow spines Azriella and Madison!!!!
This class is certainly boring. Now there's something about a centaur thing and Merpeople. What the hell? Who cares?!
Well I suppose it's moderately normal. Better then Azriella and Ginevra Molly.
Thanks.
Yeah. Nice of you.
Sorry... Sophia is glaring at me. She is throwing parchment at me. Ouch. I think I have a paper cut. She wants me to stop writing to you and write to her because she is all alone on the end of the row. Stop that Sophia!! I will not talk to you!
Cause she can so read you telling her that.
Did anyone just get that?? Some centaur joke? About the ministry?
Binns jokes? I'm sorry; I think I've gone into cardiac arrest. Excuse me while I have a coronary.
One: We have no idea what you're talking about. Two: Whatever you are talking about, you've killed it.
You buried it. You murdered it. You spat on it. You danced on its grave.
Now who killed it?
Here that blissful sound? Chatter?? People awake? Yeah, you know it. Class is over!
A/N 2: Hey my lovelies!! Hit the review button on the head and give me a review! It won't mind!! Really! Feel free to concuss it or give it head injuries.
