Chapter 2 - Grumpy Mornings and Interesting Train Rides

The sun shone through Virginia's curtain. She squeaked and pulled the covers over her head.

"VIRGINIA KATHRYN WEASLEY, GET YOUR LAZY BUTT OUT OF BED, YOU HAVE TO GO SEE YOUR MOTHER TODAY," Hermione yelled.

"Fine, I'm up, let me go have a shower. ARGH,"

Hermione just giggled.

Vi got out of bed, her hair all tangled, tore open her drawer to find some clothes. She rummaged through all her drawers only to remember that she had put her clothes on her bed. She turned around to find Hermione holding her clothes.

"Give them here Hermione, I'm not in a good mood."

"Fine, but don't be so grumpy when you come out of the shower,"

"Ok I wont be."

And with that Virginia stomped off to the girls bathroom. She slammed the door behind her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~In The Girl's Bathroom*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Virginia, still grumbling, dropped her clothes on the floor.

"Why'd she have to wake me up so early? Mruph mrea,"

Turning on the water, so it was massaging her back, she started singing.

He was always such a nice boy

The quiet one

With good intentions

He was down for his brother

Respectful to his mother

A good boy

But good don't get attention

One kid with a promise

The brightest kid in school

He's not a fool

Reading books about science and smart stuff

It's not enough, no

Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa

'Hmmm sounds like me'

He's not invisible anymore

With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse

Since he walked through that classroom door

He's all over primetime news

Mary's got the same size hands

As Marilyn Monroe

She put her fingers in the imprints

At Mann's Chinese Theatre Show

She coulda been a movie star

Never got the chance to go that far

Her life was stole

Now we'll never know

"VI YOU"RE GONNA USE ALL THE HOT WATER," one of the girls from her dorm yelled.

'Guess I better get out of the shower,' she thought, turning off the taps. As she stepped out of the shower she cast a drying spell on herself. She then picked up her clothes and got dressed. With a wave of her wand her make up was done and her hair was dry.

"How do I look?" she asked the mirror

"Very sexy dear, go get 'em"

Virginia was wearing a forest green bikini top with silver snakes twirling around her neck as the straps. She was also wearing a black mini skirt with black knee high lace up boots.

"COME ON VI WE'RE GONNA MISS BREAKFAST," Hermione yelled through the door.

"Alright, alright no need to bring the house down, screaming so much," she giggled as she opened the door, "How do I look?"

"Wow," Hermione said blushing.

"Ok well someone said something about breakfast?"

The rest of the girls giggled. The five of them linked arms and went down to breakfast.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In the Great Hall*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As the girls walked in the delicious smell of freshly toasted bread with melting butter hit them. Their stomachs grumbled simultaneously. The girls giggled, and ran off to the Gryffindor table leaving Hermione and Virginia alone.

"You ok?" Hermione asked looking towards her lover concerned.

"Yar, well I will be,"

"Good, then lets go get some food, your brother is staring at us weirdly, besides I've got a surprise for you later,"

"Ooooooo, you know how I love a good surprise,"

The girls linked arms and walked towards the table to get breakfast.

"You two certainly look cheery today, considering what is happening with our mother," Ron seethed

"Calm down, have you ever heard of a façade, brother dearest?"

Ron just looked at Virginia blankly,

"That's an obvious no, well it is a mask you put on so you don't have to show the world how you feel."

"Ohhhhhhhhh, so it's a good thing."

Hermione hit him up the back of the head, "Of course it is you dolt."

"'Mione that hurt,"

"Well brother dear, you deserved it."

Much name calling, tickle fights and giggling ensued from the Weasley clan and their extended family then.

A certain Slytherin was watching the Weasley clan with much disgust. But when he saw a certain red head he almost fell out of his chair. 'She certainly has changed, I mean her hair no longer looks like it's on fire and her skin looks like cream, her lips look like spun sugar, and god I sound like a sappy romantic, ugh'.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*In the Girls Dorm~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Now when am I going to get my surprise?" Virginia said sitting down on her bed.

"Well this is a two part surprise, here's the first part." Hermione said turning around to the dresser, and pulling out a black and sliver velvet bag. "This is a little present I made for you, something to keep you company when we are away from each other."

Virginia reached for the black bag, standing as she did so she could kiss Hermione, "What is it 'Mione?" she asked pulling a rather large hand-held mirror from the bag.

"That, my dear, is a transportation mirror, what happens is, I have the other mirror," pointing to the identical mirror in her hand, "So where ever we are we can get to each other, it's a kind of apparation spell. What you do is tap the mirror three times with your right hand index finger, and say my name, then you will be transported to wherever I am."

"Sounds easy enough, cool, so if I'm at home and you are here, I could just come through the mirror and be here with you,"

"Yes that's how it works. There is also a special room I've created inside the mirror. It is sort of like the room of requirement, you just press the flower on the handle and you will be taken there, and when you are in there whatever you wish for will be there too."

"Can we try that now?" "No not yet,"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*On the Hogwart's Express*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Virginia was sitting in a compartment by herself, wrapped in her favourite forest green cloak. She just sat there rocking back and fourth crying.

'I can't believe mom's got cancer, why didn't she tell us earlier? Why did she only want me to come home now? What am I going to do if she......, I can't even say it'.

"Anything from the trolley dear?"

"No thank you, I'm not feeling that hungry,"

"Now I heard about what happened with your mother dear," the trolley lady said sitting down beside Virginia, "It wont be that bad, I promise." She said wrapping her arm around the little girl.

"But....but what if she dies, mom is the only one who notices I'm around when we are all at home, dad's always too busy with his muggle contraptions and the boys are always off playing quidditch or something. If she goes how would I survive with no one to notice me or look after me," Virginia broke then, sobbing into the lady's shoulder.

"shhh, there there it will be ok, your mother will work something out, I promise. I used to go to Hogwarts with your mother and she always made sure everyone was looked after, I'm sure she hasn't changed."

"Thank you. I think I might buy a chocolate frog if that's ok?"

"Here dear, it's on me," the old lady left smiling gently.

Virginia just sat there nibbling on her chocolate frog when she heard the compartment door open.

"Oh I didn't realise anyone else was on the train, do you mind if I sit in here with you?" a little girl of about 6 stepped into the compartment. She had white blonde hair and sparkling grey eyes. She looked so much like a Malfoy.

"Sure, come sit over here," Virginia said patting the seat next to her, "What are you doing on the train?"

"Oh I'm here with my brother, mother sent for us, saying that we had to go home because her best friend had cancer, and that we were to help look after her. Why are you here?"

"My mother has cancer, and she sent for me to come home, because she had something to tell me."

"DAYTONA ERIS MALFOY WHEN I FIND YOU, I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER" a loud male voice rang out through the train

"Oh dear, that's my brother, can you hind me? Please?" the little girl pleaded

"Of course dear, but first tell me who your brother is?"

"Draco Malfoy of course,"

Suddenly the compartment door burst open and a flustered Draco Malfoy raced in.

"Weasley?!" Draco said quickley recovering from the shock, "Have you seen my little sister, she is about 6 yrs old and looks like me but has longer hair? Oomph"

The little Malfoy girl had tackled her brother to the ground.

"So that's where you were hiding, you little sneak. You're going to pay for that now, here comes the tickle monster. ARGH" Draco said, tickling his little sister mercilessly, "Say UNCLE,"

"Never," the little girl replied defiantely

"Say uncle,"

"NO, ahhhhhhh Drake stop it, STOP IT,"

"Say uncle,"

Virginia just sat on the seat and watched the two Malfoy children rolling around the compartment. The older one mercilessly tickling the little one, both grinning madly and laughing. This just made Virginia more homesick, it had been years since her brothers had done that to her, but she still remembered it as though it was yesterday. She sighed as Daytona finally gave up and Draco stopped tickling her. A silent tear slid down her cheek.

"Ginny what's wrong?" Daytona asked wiping the tear gently from the older girls face.

"Just seeing you two like that reminded me of my brothers that's all."

"What were they like? Do you have any pictures?"

"Here," Virginia said pulling out an album from her bag, "this is Bill and Charlie, they were always tickling me like Draco was to you just then, god I miss them."

"Where are they now?"

"Bill died fighting Voldemort, he was killed by a Death Eater, I saw the whole thing. If only I had been a little faster, I could have saved him." Another tear ran down her cheek.

"What about Charlie? Did he die too?"

"No, heavens no, Charlie lives in Romania now, he works with dragons, I spent last holidays with him, that was fun." Flipping the page to a picture of the twins and Percy. "This is Percy, he was disowned from own family because he would rather stand by Barty Crouch than his family. He just stood there and watched people die, he never did anything. Well these are the twins, Fred and George. They are such trouble makers, they opened their own joke shop in Hogsmede, it is actually quite successful, but they always tried their jokes out on me. Now this picture is of my brother Ron, and his best friends Hermione and Harry. Now Ron was my best friends before he went to school, then he forgot all about me, only caring when a guy asks me out. He's always saying I'm too young to do anything, he even stopped me from trying out for the Quidditch team this year, because he didn't want his little baby sister getting hurt. It gets rather annoying sometimes. Then there's Harry Potter. I used to like him but now I think he's a pig headed git. All his fame goes to his head, it really doe shim no good. Then there's Hermione Granger. She comes from a muggle family. I used to look up to her as a sister, but then last year we saw each other in a new light, we were a couple for a while, then Ron broke us up, he said it wasn't right, two girls together. We still make out sometimes, it also helps that we are in the same dorm room, and all the other girls in our door are like us. Its fun most of the time."

Draco just sat on the other side of the compartment listening in awe. He never realised how much this girl had changed in the past 5 years.
