Once they were on platfrom nine and three quaters they were waiting in line to get on the
train, and Luna came up and said "Ginny is that you under all that blonde and makeup"
"Yes," Ginny said with a weak smile."Do you like it"
"Yes, you look amazing, you so got to teach me to do my makeup like that." Luna said
smiling. Harry agreed that Ginny looked amazing. He had to focus his eyes on something else to
keep them from dropping down to her backside. Malfoy and his two shadows Crabbe and Goyle stood
farthr back in the line, unable to hear the conversation going on in front of them. Draco said
"Damn, that blonde chick looks good. She must have transfered from another school, because she
looks way too good to be a first year, and she doesn't carry herself timidly either." Neither
Crabbe and Goyle could say a word, they were too busy drooling. Ginny and the gang was next to
board the train. Draco saw Harry help Ginny with her trunk and said "There is no way in hell, I
will let potter take this girl from me."
Once they were on the train Draco went from compartment to compartment looking for the
pretty blonde girl. Finally he found her sitting with Harry and the rest of the gang and he
walked in and introduced himself to her. Everyone laughed as they shook hands, and then Ginny
shook her head and said "Malfoy, is your brain compacity so small you forget people you hate"
"Weasley?" Draco said shocked. "Weasley, thats you? You look that good?"
Everyone laughed at Draco's mistake, as he forced his feet to move he went and found
Crabbe and Goyle. "So, she comin'?"Asked Goyle stupidly.
"No,and I don't want to talk about it." Draco said snobbishly.
"Why, did she reject you for Potter?" Crabbe laughed elbowing Goyle who joined in on the
laughing.
"No, If you must know everything you dumb witted pratts" Draco said totally annoyed with
Crabbe's not so funny joke."That pretty blonde we saw was no other than Ginny Weasley"
Both Crabbe and Goyle's mouths dropped open.
Once they got to Hogwarts, Ginny turned all heads. HErmione and Luna felt insuperior to
her beauty. The both held their heads down and walked a few paces behind her whispering to each
other. After the begining of school feast everyone went up to their dormitories. Once she was in
her dormitory , her room mates started shooting questions at her like "Why'd you dye your hair?
Did you want an excuse to be dumb?" and comments such as "If that skirt was any shorter it would
be belt, are you too poor to buy, a whole skirt you have to buy a minature one"
Ginny ignored these comments, as she changed into her pajamas. Abi had warned her other
females would be jalous of her and crack rude jokes and comments. As she laid down in her bed
she didn't fall to sleep, instead she laid awake late into the night, listening to her rude room-
mates' snores. Her stomched growled she didn't even eat a plate at the feast. Once more Ginny
wondered if this was the right thing to do, if she really wanted Devon's love this much, and
then decided maybe she didn't need Devon's love, but she did want a boy friend and the only way
she could, or would ever get one would be to keep up her new self.As much as she hated it she had
no other choice. That friday evening she was laying out near the lake in a pair of cut-off blue
jean shorts,and a t-shirt. Draco saw her and walked up and sat down beside her. "Hello." He said
rasing his eyebrows. He wasn't sure why he was talking to Ginny, but her new appearence made him
long for her.
"Yea?" She said looking up from her book,no sign of the slightest interest in her face.
"What's up?" Draco said looking at her.She arched an eyebrow and said "Whats wrong,Draco"
Did you mates abandon you after they found out you had a crush on me?" She smirked.
"No, I just wanted to tell you look very good, and to invite you to hang out with me
later on tonight." He said giving her a sexy smile.
She laughed and said "Me a Gryffindor hangout with you and your friends?" She laughed
again. Draco stood up and said "Well, if you change your mind meet me in the room of requirement,
later on tonight. Whenever will be fine I'll be there all night." Ginny kept laughing as he
walked away. Anyway she had her Luna and Ginny talking about sneaking into the kitchen and
having like a catered slumber party. She was going to join them.
Later that night she walked into the kitchen wearing the black dress she had tried on
that night after shopping. The girl's mouths dropped open. There was wishpered adn then Hermione
stood up and said "Gin, sorry, but this is for natural beauty, and anyway it was invitation only"
Ginny's mouth dropped open and she opened her mouth to say something, but instead truned
around and walked out holding back tears and thinking to herself "You look good, thats why their
jalous. SHe wondered the halls thinking "It's still early what am I going to do now?" Then she
remembered Draco's invitaion. She turned around and headed for the room of requirement, she tried
to open the door,but it was locked. So she knocked.Draco opened the door and kissed her on the
cheek, he expected her to pull away but she didn't. She welcomed the attention after people who
had been her best friends for years had basically just disowned her.
He said "I'm glad you could make it, Ginny" She smiled at him and followed him in. He
lead her by the arm. Their was rock music playing, the room was smokey. She was starting to
regret coming. She looked on the table there was white powder stuff on a mirror she assumed it
was sometype of muggle drug, she wasn't sure. People everywhere were holding beers.
Draco turned down the music and stood up on a near by table and said "QUITE!" Everyone
went silent then he said "Ginny Weasley, has been so nice to bless us with her lovely presence
tonight. I want everyone of you to treat her like a regular, she is my special guest"
Ginny blushed as Draco ushered her to a near sofa. He offered her a beer. She shook her head no.
"Have you ever had it before?" Draco asked her. His icey blue eyes looking into hers.
"No." She said quitely looking down at her lap.
"Then you should try one. What can one do? Just one to taste it." Draco said looking at
her.
"No, thank you." Ginny said remembering the promise she made to her mother long ago, not
to drink, smoke, or ever do drugs. She was going to keep this promise at all costs, even if it
meant she would be friendless.
"Well, then have a wine cooler it has very little achool in it"
Ginny finally backed down and took the wine cooler. She opened it and took a sip of it.
She liked it. She couldn't taste anything in it but fruit, so how could something made from fruit
be bad? By the end of the night she was leaning on Draco shoulder with her feet popped up smoking
a ciggerete. She knew her parents would be disappointed, but as so many people in her life had
told her she had to live her life her way, and make mistakes to learn from them. No matte how bad
she felt about drinking and smoking, she was very proud of herself, she did no drugs that night,
and she didn't ever plan on doiong them. She snuck back into her dormitory around five in the
morning, and fell asleep. With the thought how much fun Saturday night was going to be in her
head. She never thought she would ever have any friends in slytherin, but now she was falling for
Draco. She knew she didn't need Devon's admiration, approval, or love to be happy. SHe needed
Draco's. She had Draco wrapped around her little finger, and was very happy with it. And she had
found a new circle of friends to replace those who rejected her because they were envious of her.
She went to sleep with a smile on her face.
While she was sleeping Ron was hearing from Draco the past night's events. HE didn't
believe a word Draco said, but he did plan on asking Ginny about it. HE looked around and didn't
see Ginny. HE figured she stayed up half the night crying about her friends rejecting her and was
now catching up on sleep.
