Okay , I decided to rewrite my story so the characters are more like themselves (thanks for pointing that out to me Kav)

Summary: Ginny and Draco never got along. But somehow in Draco's final year at Hogwarts that all changes. Going against all his father taught him, Draco tries to make Ginny his. D/G some RHr. R&R!

Something's Gotta Give - Chapter One- Ginny

Ginny Weasley was an average 16 year old girl with average grades and an average life. Well, it was average for a witch.

It was the day before the new school year started for Hogwarts. Ginny was going into her 6th year at Hogwarts while your older brother Ron and his friends were going into his 7th.

Finally, it was the last year Ginny would be at school along with the rest of the "Golden Trio", comprised of Ginny's prat of an older brother, Hermione Granger, and Voldemort's Chosen One himself.

Ginny had waited what seemed like forever for them to graduate. Maybe, just maybe, once they were gone, no one would call her "Ron's little sister" anymore.

"Ginny!" her mother's voice shrieked up the stairs. "Time to go!"

Ginny sighed, picked up an ordinary Muggle notebook and the handle to her unbelievably heavy trunk. Dragging it out of the room and down the stairs, she made her way outside.

"Finally Ginny." Ron said stuffily. "We've been waiting, like, an hour."

"Shut up, Ron." Ginny replied. "You weren't even awake an hour ago. The only reason you're ready early is because Mum packed your bags." Ron, taken aback, stormed away silently.

Just like every year, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny went to King's Cross Station, walked through the barrier to platform 9 3/4 and got on the Hogwarts Express. Here they would go find their friends, then meet up again in the compartment on the train.

While the Terrific Three sat and talked about their summer, Ginny sat looking out the window wondering how different this year was going to be, and hoping, like she did always, that it would be NOTHING like her first year. That would be allshe needed, another fun meeting with evil.

'Helped Dark Lord return to power' would look bloody stunning on her resume.

This train ride was no different than it had been the five years prior. Within a half-hour of the ride, Malfoy and his minions stalked in, as was their custom.

"Hey Potter, how's that scar?" Malfoy smirked. Ginny frowned, and waited for Harry to answer. When he didn't, Malfoy continued. "How's your good old pal Voldemort? Huh?"

Well then. Ginny would be damned if she had to become reacquainted with Voldemort's name this early into the year. And anyway, Harry didn't seemed to be fending for himself very much on his own, so Ginny, being the Gryffindor she was, was seized by an impulse of loyalty to her house and stood quickly.

Ginny stood up, "Bloody step off, Malfoy," she demanded as she pushed him.

Malfoy looked surprised, but he adjusted relatively quickly, she had to admit. "Oh yeah? What are you going to do then?"

Ginny played the ultimate trump card she possessed.

"I would like to know," she began sweetly, "how it feels to know that your father is STILL in prison. Didn't you say he would get out somehow?" she smirked at him, in a almost perfect imitation of his sneer. "And it seems you don't call him the "Dark Lord" anymore. Not worried your father will hear anymore? I can see why. I guess it's pretty hard to keep tabs on your kids when you're under high-security clearance in Askaban. Wouldn't you agree?"

Malfoy tried vainly to respond, but the rapid pinking of his ears and his open-mouthed gaze indicated that no words would come.

Choosing instead to retreat, Malfoy got up and walked out, with Crabbe and Goyle trailing him. Ginny sat back down in her seat, and turned to see the trio staring at her.

"What?" she demanded? When none of them answered, she smirked. "He pisses me off!"

She smiled, and continued to stare out the window.

I think they are more in character now. Let me know how you like it! REVIEW! I NEED REVIEWS!
