It all started 10 years ago when Molly and Arthur Weasley found the orphaned girl on the streets with almost no memory. They took her in and named her Virginia. She was considered "the daughter they never had." They didn't know in five years she'd be sorted into Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry breaking the Weasley chain of Griffindors.
Ginny woke up drenched in cold sweat and tears. She had a dream about her past. It was a vision of the day she had so desperately wanted to forget. They day that she saw her birth parents slaughtered before her very eyes. She was only 1 ½ at the time.
She looked out the window and saw that it was dawn. She quickly and quietly changed into some loose-fitting clothes. Reaching under her bed, she pulled out the sword she received from her classmate and friend, Pansy Parkinson, last Christmas. It bore the Parkinson family crest.
Walking down the many stairs to the living room, she headed outside. After stepping into the warm, end-of-summer air, she trained with the sword. She did this to hone her senses and add strength into her arm. She seems closer to nature when she does this. In what seemed like no time, the sun came up and she could smell Mrs. Weasley cooking pancakes in the kitchen. Sheathing the sword, she walked into the house.
"Kids! Breakfast is ready!"
"Mornin', Mum."
"Oh, did you wake up early again, Ginny? You should stop doing that."
"I'm fine. It makes me feel better when I go outside and train. I feel complete, almost."
"Well, hurry up and eat breakfast and you may be able to get a shower before we have to catch the train." Ginny sat down and ate quickly. No one in the family could understand why she liked peanut butter and syrup on her pancakes instead of butter and syrup. They all thought it a bit odd. They didn't question her though.
After finishing up she rushed up the stairs. Luckily she was able to beat all her brothers, Harry, and Hermione there. She quickly locked the door. As she figured, a series of bangs came at the door.
"Ginny! Let us in!"
"Mum said I can take a shower! The pancakes are ready on the table!" That did the trick. Instantly 8 pairs of feet were thumping down the stairs. Everyone liked Molly Weasley's pancakes.
Stripping off her clothes she caught a glimpse in the mirror. Unlike the rest of the Weasleys, she had dark auburn hair and very dark eyes. One more difference separated her from them. On her stomach above the hip, a symbol inside a circle lay quiet. When she was angry or ready to fight it would start glowing. She then quickly hopped into the shower. After using Tea Tree Oil scented scrub, shampoo, and conditioner, she put them in a sack to put in her trunk. She then brushed her hair and wrapped a towel around herself.
Walking out of the bathroom she took her brush and bath set to her room. On the way the "Dream Team" came up and blocked her path. Ron saw the symbol on her stomach and quickly blocked it from view with his body telling them to hurry up and get their stuff. The entire family knew about but didn't want people to see it because too many questions would be asked-questions they didn't have answers to.
Ginny walked into the room. She found a pair of baggy pants and a tee that showed of her mid-drift. Putting the rest of her necessities in her school trunk she quickly braided her hair. She dragged it downstairs. She looked at her family, excluding Ron. She hugged them and then went to the fireplace. After screaming "Platform 9 ¾" she took off in a frenzy of flames.
Ginny gracefully stepped on the platform. Walking onto the train, she went to the very last compartment that was known only to her, Draco, Pansy, Lykeon and the Food Trolley Lady. She quickly placed her trunk in a space and sat on the seat. In a half-hour Draco, Pansy, and Lykeon joined her. Draco took the seat next to her while the other two sat across.
"Who should be the first group we pick on this year?" Draco asked. A year ahead of her he was in his 7th and final year.
"The Ravenclaw Princesses. I had a nightmare about brainwashing Pansy's brain last week. Scared me really badly." Ginny said.
"Seems scary. Ravenclaw Princesses, it is." Lykeon said and nuzzled Pansy's neck. Draco and Ginny rolled their eyes. "I'm glad we don't act like that." Ginny said. Draco raised an eyebrow. "Really?" He then leaned over and kissed her. She pushed him away as soon as Pansy and Lykeon started whooping. "Behave, Draco. At least while other people are present." Draco raised his eyebrows. "Then do you want to meet me in my room tonight?" "Not really. Unless you want to plan an attack the Ravenclaws." He mocked pouting.
"How'd they brainwash her?"
"They had her talking about the best place to get her hair done in muggle London. It was bad. They had her in hot pink clothes and, well, lets just say everything was pink except her hair."
"Pansy in pink?! I must protect her from those girls!" Lykeon as he positioned himself to block her body. Everyone laugh.
"Hey, that ball is coming up. They said to dress in renaissance attire. Should we?" Pansy asked.
Everyone wrinkled his or her nose.
"Those dresses have to be annoying. Not to mention the corset, the bodice, the undergarments, and that fact that half the dresses back then made your breasts look about thrice the actual size. No way."
"And what about the attire for men? It's so frilly. It's just wrong." Draco said.
"I've got an idea." Ginny said.
"What?" Everyone said.
"They wanted that period, but they never said what section or class. We can all go as gypsies."
"That would be cool." Pansy said.
They all started to discuss what they should wear.
A/N: Kinda short but will get longer, I promise.
