Ginny woke to the bright morning sun streaming through her bedroom window, right into her eyes.
"DAMN! What a way to wake up on the first day of school!" Grumbling, Ginny rolled out of bed and yelped as her feet touched the freezing floor. She hurriedly stuck her feet into her slippers and ran into the bathroom. Turning on the shower, she took a minute to give herself a once-over in the mirror. She ran her fingers through her limp, scraggly red hair, and deplored her height for the millionth time. She towered over all the males in her year at Hogwarts, was uncomfortably skinny, and had acne that never seemed to go away. She sighed, and stepped into the shower.
Forty-five minutes later, she heard a loud banging on the locked door of the steamy bathroom.
"Ginny Weasley! You get out of that shower right now! We are going to be late as of five minutes ago!" Molly Weasley shrieked through the door, magically turning the shower off.
"Ah! Why doesn't anyone give me some warning around here?" Ginny tumbled out of the shower, got dressed in record time, ran at breakneck speed down to the car, and jumped inside, landing on top of a very sleepy Ron.
"Geez Ginny! Watch where you plonk your bony butt!" Ron complained, rubbing his hip in mock pain while trying not to yawn.
"Ginny, dearest, please get off Ron and buckle up, I am going to have to speed a little to get to the station on time," Arthur Weasley called from the front seat, "No, don't worry Molly, I fixed the invisibility button. No one will see us," he reassured his frantic wife, "Well, got everything you two? Okay! Off to another year at jolly old Hogwarts."

Waking up to the pleasant glow of morning light coming through his curtains, Draco stretched slowly under his silk covers. He saw one of his multiple house elves hurrying out of his room through the shadows, but chose to ignore it. He gracefully sat up and got out of bed, then walked into the bathroom, his feet gliding over the warm wooden floor. His shower was already running, filling the large room with a steamy vapor.
"Master Draco!" Draco heard a small, squeaky voice call from outside the shower, "Master Draco! You are being told to get out by your mother!" The house elf cringed, as if expecting punishment for delivering this order; it knelt quickly, handing a fluffy towel to Draco as he stepped out of the shower. He took the towel without a word, and pushed the flinching house elf out the door.
Dried off, Draco dressed quickly in his crisp new clothes, magically dried his hair, and slicked it back. He stood in front of the mirror, appraising his appearance. All in all, he looked good, he was tall, about six feet, and due to using weights and other exercise equipment everyday, had grown some impressive muscles. His steel eyes flashed, and he swept out of his room.
He had passed his apparating test the previous year, so after breakfast, he apparated directly to Platform 9 3/4. He was just turning to get on the train when a large, solid object with red hair crashed right into him.
"Bloody hell!!" Draco snapped as he saw Ginny Weasley sprawled on the ground in front of him. "Watch where you're going Weasley!"
Ginny got up quickly, and brushed off her clothes, rage glinting red in her eyes, "Well I wouldn't have walked into you if you hadn't apparated directly into my path! Just in case you hadn't noticed, the apparating platform is over there." She pointed to a small platform where a group of people had just appeared.
Draco harrumphed, and pushed Ginny out of the way. He swept toward the train, his trunk floating after him. Ginny sighed, "Arrogant git," and walked after him, dragging her trunk along the ground.
"Hey Ginny!" Hermione called, "here, let me help you with that." Waving her wand, Hermione levitated Ginny's trunk along with hers, the two girls then began walking toward the train.
"Thanks Hermione," Ginny said gratefully, "Harry and Ron are already on the train, they're saving us a compartment."
Once on the train, Ginny and Hermione quickly found the two boys, who were, at the moment, being harassed by Lavender and Parvati.
"Come on Harry!" Parvati gushed, "I just know you want to take me and Lavender to Hogsmeade! It would be so fab!"
Looking disgusted, Harry pried her off his arm, "No, I don't think so Parvati. Oh! Hermione! Ginny! Here, we were saving you seats. Lavender, you're in Hermione's seat."
Lavender scowled at this not-so-subtle hint for her and Parvati to leave, then quickly straightened out her face as if afraid of wrinkles. She beckoned to Parvati, and they left the compartment with a harrumph.
