Chapter 4: Everything's not as bad as it seems or is it?
Ginny sat in her new dorm room as the last 24 hours flashed in her head
*~*~*~* FlAsHbAcK*~*~*~
"I want all of you with all of your things in your trunk down here in half and hour. Do NOT bring your cauldrons, textbooks or broom sticks, just cloths and toiletries. Bring your wands to me and I will keep them in a safe place. " Ginny ran to the portrait "slimyskittles" " I honestly don't know who comes up with these things" said the fat lady. She then swung open and let Ginny pass through. All Ginny really had to do was take her things out of the washroom and put them into her trunk. She then emptied her backpack and placed inside her diary, her ball point pens and her stuffed dog.
*****************
As they loaded their stuff into the ministry car, Snap took their wands and put them in a little - wooden box. He put an anti –accacio spell on it and locked it. As they drove, the countryside got thinner and thinner. Ginny started to get bored so she pulled out her diary and pens. She started to write when she felt someone staring at her. She looked over her shoulder to see one of the boys she didn't know studying her. She turned around and said" Hallo, I'm Ginny Weasly. What's your name?" " Hallo, I'm Brent. Nice to meet you. Are you nervous about our 'project' ? " " No, I have a friend who's parents are muggles and I stayed with them for a week." "So this should be old hat for you I guess." " Hahaha! No way! Every time I went to go and do something, I reached for my wand, but it wasn't there. It got really annoying after a few times." = Hey! This guy's cute and funny. My semester isn't entirely doomed =
******************
They arrived at a nicely sized condominium in a suburb of London called Sherwood. Draco, Blaise, Brent and Joel lifted their trunks easily out of the back of the car, but Ginny had trouble, she just couldn't get it over the little lip on the front of the (car) trunk. Draco, Blaise and Brent walked right by her. Joel stopped and put his down to help her. " O, thanks a bunch …….." "Joel, and your welcome. Do you need any more help, because I'd be glad to….." "O, no thank-you I got it form here." = Hmmm…. He's pretty hot to……=. Once every one was inside, Prof. Oxford told everyone where to go. "Everyone, follow me. " They followed him up a flight of stairs to a single medium sized bedroom. " We're all sleeping in here!?" Draco asked with scorn in his voice. No, this is Miss. Weasly's room. You're rooms are in here. " He opened a closet. " We're sleeping in a closet?!" Draco asked again. "Wrong again Mr. Malfoy. Ruggy Jitterbuggy." The back wall of the closet disappeared and 3 low steps followed. "Right this way gentlemen. You to Miss. Weasly. This is where the boys will be sleeping. A raised platform had four beds placed nicely spread apart upon it. " There is another room on the other side of the closet with 2 bathrooms for the boys and a TV/ Rec. room for you all. The password for it is 'entertainment tonight please' . Enjoy your stay. Another thing, "he handed them each a note book " I want you to write about your week , every week, in this book. I will collect it every Friday. O, and Miss. Wealsly, if I may have a moment." "Yes of course professor." She followed him back into her room and the wall of the closet reappeared, leaving the boys' room invisible. " Living with four 17 yr. old boys isn't easy. Are you up to the challenge? " "Professor, I don't know if you know this or not, but I have 6 brothers ranging from the ages of 25 down to 17. I think I can handle my self." "Alright, I'm just saying because Mr. Malfoy is in charge because he is a prefect and Prof. Snape lives in a separate house with the rest of the staff. If you run into any trouble, please, let one of us know immediately." "Don't worry professor, I will."

As she snuggled beneath the covers she murmured to her self "I can handle 'em" Little did she know what was happening behind the walls……. " All right lads, we are stuck in a house muggle style for an entire semester. What can we do to make it more interesting?" Brent asked everybody. Joel leaned back on his pillows and thought. " Who here thinks that …. What's her name… Ginny. is extremely sexy?" Draco and Blaise were pretending not to listen so the only one who said me was Brent. "O…K….then that gives me and idea…… Lets make a little wager shall we? 4 galleons goes to the first guy who gets Ginny to a) like him, b) go out with him and c) get to third base. Sound good? " "Sounds excellent. C'mon mates, don't you want a piece of the action?" " Us, cavorting with a Weasly, I think not!" Blaise scoffed. "Why would we want her when we can have just about any girl in the school?" Draco added. " Pft! I'll believe that when I see it!" exclaimed Joel. "Fine then. We'll enter in your little "contest" and I add a second wager. Another 4 galleons says that Blaise and I will be the last two standing. What do you say Blaise? " "Sounds good to me. You guys don't have a chance." " Again, I'll believe it when I see it." "So, its all settled." Brent got up and found a sheet of paper. He wrote down the guidelines and had everybody sign it. " There, the contest starts tomorrow." They all shook hands, to keep it fair and went to bed.
