Chapter 2
Draco quickly recovered after the little shock Ginny had given everyone. He resumed his trade mark smirk and commented on her little outburst
" Wow, the little mouse roars and a rather loud one at that." "Like I said before Malfoy, SHUT UP!" was Ginny's come back.
This time instead of the gasping everyone was at rapt attention, waiting what was soon to come. Malfoy thought " This time I won't be so easy on her and it will be even sweeter knowing her brother is right there watching." Malfoy was ready to throw some more verbal trash at her, but Ginny struck first. She hit him hard in the stomach, he fell to his knees and all the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and especially the Gryffindors started to point and laugh. Totally Humiliation! Then the whole fight was over, but before everyone had cleared Ginny said,
" I told you I could fight my own fight."
The next day all people could talk about was the fight that had happened the day before. Everyone came up to Ginny and congratulated her (except the Slytherins) on of course standing up to Malfoy and most of all showing that she wasn't some shy little girl anymore. Her friends, Georgia and Arwen, told Ginny how proud they were of her for standing up to Malfoy all on her own. (okay I know it's cheesy, but bare with me). The original trio even congratulated Ginny. When she entered the Great Hall that morning she realized how many people were happy that she stood up to Malfoy, because most of the students (almost all minus the Slytherins) were giving her a standing notation. Up on the teachers table, most of the teachers looked befuddled, only Professor Dumbledore seemed to know what was happening because he had a soft twinkle in his eyes. Once all the students had quieted down, Ginny was finally able to get a seat at the Gryffindor table. Mail soon arrived and along with it was her new class schedule and her wand too. She looked at it and groaned she had double potions with the Slytherins today.
" No doubt the Slytherins will give me a hard time, and not only that Malfoy's in my class, since I moved up," She thought. Then she realized that she didn't tell Ron about her moving up in potions. " Great he'll probably giver me an even harder time then the Slytherins," she whispered to herself. Her friends noticed that she seemed a little down in the dumps this morning. They asked her why and she told them everything that was on her mind. All they could reply was Oh. Since only Ginny was moved up, they couldn't be there to comfort her if things went wrong.
With a sigh she got up and started making her way down toward the dungeons where potions were held. She thought to herself, "Let me see if I can catch up to Ron and tell him that I moved up so that way I might have an easier time in potions." She spotted him about thirty feet away already going down the stairwell. She called out his name, but he was already to far to hear her quiet voice. She started to jog towards the stairs when a group of overexcited 1st years grouped around her. They all wanted to hear a story from her about the fight and after that they were looking for an autograph. She had no time for this, she had to find Ron and tell him. N o matter how many times she tried to push through the 1st years they always kept getting in her way. Now instead of trying to find Ron in time, her worries turned to being on time for class. If she was late for potions, Snape was bound to give her detention for a week and she had the start of new quidditch season practices to attend to. (In case I forgot to tell you Ginny and her to friends are on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Ginny plays chaser with her two best friends, Georgia and Arwen. Harry is Captain and seeker, Ron is a beater and Colin Creevey is the other beater. Even though she was scared at first Hermione has now become a great keeper for the team.)
Finally the 1st years noticed that they would be late for class if they didn't hurry up. Ginny was now finally rid of the kids and soon going to be late for her first potions class. She ran as fast as she could to the dungeon, bumping into like a million people along the way. When she finally reached the classroom, she was all out of breath. Luckily for her the door was closed, otherwise she would have gotten some funny looks from the Slytherins. When she caught her breath she slowly creaked open the door and.
