Chapter Two – Forgotten One
Broken dreams broken home nowhere to go
Shattered life left
without a reason why
Void inside no one there to hear your cries
Alone and cold no one there for you to hold... for you to hold
Forgotten one the time has come
To take control join with
those forgotten too
In this place a sense of worth is finally
gained
Take my hand together we'll forget the past
Take the
stand together we can change our lives... change our lives
Forgotten
one the time has come
You... me... us
The time has come to
take control
"Are you going to stand there staring all day, Marlow? I know I'm quite the male specimen but do control yourself it's rather embarrassing."
Ginny realised her mouth must be open and she quickly shut it, tossing her hair back over her shoulder and raising her face to the light haughtily.
"Hardly Malfoy, I was merely observing how these harsh lights are very unflattering to the blemishes on your skin."
Malfoy cocked an eyebrow at her but otherwise his expression didn't change as he surveyed her from across the room.
"You wound me with untruths."
Ginny rolled her sparkling eyes that glittered with amusement as she turned her back on him and pulled off her top, draping it lazily across a black chair that was simply half a sphere with the centre cut out, as she passed.
Her black lace bra contrasted with her milky white skin but it was covered as fast as it was bared as she pulled on a black vest top, the dog-tags her 'father' had given to her jingling as she lifted them out from under the top.
"Hurry up, there ain't that much make-up in the world and we do have the joys of dance class first."
Ginny nearly tripped over but managed to catch herself before he noticed as she fastened her hair behind her head into a tight bun and pulled on her flat dance shoes. Imagining Draco Malfoy at a dance class was definitely not the best way to keep from laughing and revealing herself so she kept her face perfectly blank as she slipped into her loose black sweat-pants and headed over to him.
"Tell me something, why did you come here, oh great Malfoy?"
Draco fixed his gaze on her in silence for so long she was positive she had slipped up already until he shrugged his shoulders elegantly under his rather tight black t-shirt and pushed himself off from the doorframe.
"What better way to put my father's perfectly straight nose out of joint than by joining a college he hasn't approved of and by taking lessons he'd cringe at the thought of?"
Ginny rolled her eyes again and grabbed her bag which she had been filling with all her books and a change of clothes while he spoke.
"Let's not keep Professor Sear waiting in case she interprets our tardiness as a reason to give you detention."
Draco pulled open the door for her then closed it carefully behind him where it locked itself with a loud click as they headed down the darkly panelled corridor.
"And spend the whole time rejecting her advances again." He sighed. "Still I can't help it if she's attracted to me, it must just be my charm and witty intelligence."
Ginny smirked as they rounded a corner to where a small crowd of people were gathered around a heavy oak door chatting idly and entirely in black. Most of them greeted Draco and Ginny guardedly and Ginny recognised the awed looks on their faces when they addressed the former from his days at Hogwarts.
Remembering she was meant to be the confident sassy Crystianna Marlow Ginny smirked at the group but didn't bother nodding hugging or air-kissing any of them as she did with her own friends.
"Sorry sorry sorry, I got stuck in a meeting with the Head, but we're all here now with music, spirit and energy so let the fireworks began!"
Ginny once more had to control herself and stop from laughing when her new professor darted into the midst of the crowd looking like a teenager straight from the Eighties in fluorescent pink leggings, baby blue legwarmers and a neon printed thong-backed body stocking. She flushed when she passed Draco and almost walked into the door when he smirked his most heartbreaking grin at Ginny.
Ginny grinned at him and stalked into the room after him, well aware every female behind her was eyeing Draco's backside with a hungry look on their face. Ginny shoved her bag down on the floor next to Draco's who was now warming up in front of the opposite wall entirely covered by mirrors, the female half of the room practically came on the spot when he leant over to touch his toes.
Ginny simply rolled her eyes towards the ceiling and leant all the way back, grabbing her ankles before easing back up to find Draco looking at her in amusement.
"When did learn to do that?"
Ginny shrugged, her eyes taking on a wicked glint as she jumped at him and wrapped her legs around his waist tightly. Her feet locked at the small of his back as she leant back down and twisted through his legs, her hands gripping his ankles as he twisted his head to look down at her smirking up at him from between his legs.
"These kinds of skills can come in useful."
Draco was spared answering when Professor Sear clapped her hands sharply for order and the group assembled into a single line across the room before her.
"All I really want to concentrate on today is the tightening up of the 'Night Fever' routine. So if you'll just split into your groups I'll perform the Separating Spell on the room and you can adjust the music to match your speed."
Ginny rolled her eyes at Draco, mouthing the ending to their Professor's speech which each student knew only too well. Once the speech was over and their Professor was casting the spell on the room to separate the atmosphere into small blocks with their own Silencing Charm placed on it.
Ginny and Draco were joined by another pair, both of whom had been Slytherins in the same year as Draco and Ginny felt a momentary flinch of uneasiness as they surveyed her, but it disappeared the moment they smirked at her with as much friendliness as someone from their ex-house could muster.
"Hey Crys, we're having a sleepover tonight, coming?"
Ginny froze for a second then nodded, smirking at the girl as Draco invited himself along as well.
"Come on guys we need to get this stupid routine perfect or else she'll never let us out of here."
The girls jumped slightly before grinning at each other and turning back to the rest of their group who were both already doing a serious of flashy stretches ready for the routine. Draco flicked his wand at the ceiling and 'Night Fever' pounded out of their square patch of the beige panelling.

Ginny was aching from head to foot and thanking every god she could name several times over that she had taken gymnastics since she was seven and was more flexible than most. She wriggled into her jeans with the badges scattered over the pockets and tugged on a plain white shirt and a black sleeveless sweater over the top.
"Come on Crys."
Ginny grabbed her bag and ran to the door where Vanessa was waiting for her with an impatient look on her face and a disgusted look for any ex-Gryffindor that passed.
"Ready Nessa, let's go."
The two girls stalked through the crowds and were almost immediately joined by Draco and Elijah who draped a protective arm around Vanessa's shoulders as they set off down the corridor.
"Hey Crys!"
Ginny froze making Draco walk slap into her and she shot him an irritated look before smoothing down her hair and turning to Carmen who was looking very dodgy.
"There's another thing I didn't quite get around to telling you."
Ginny was immediately wary, eyeing Carmen as she gazed blandly up at her not looking the least bit guilty about the bombshell she now dropped on the redhead before her.
"What the fuck?! The hell am I a secret bloody agent."
Ginny's furious hissing whisper didn't even faze Carmen as she hazarded a quick glance around the now deserted corridors.
"Erm yes I think you'll find you are, why do you think Crystianna needs to know martial arts? Fun? She has a job and while you're her it's your responsibility."
Ginny felt faint, she had been eager to learn to fight properly with just her body and her already flexible body had made it much easier to learn along with the spell that copied all relevant memories and tweaks of her new personality into her old one. But she couldn't do this; she had never gotten into a fight never mind done it for a living.
"So what am I supposed to do?"
Carmen surveyed her for a moment and pulled her further into the corner as a gang of girls passed by giggling.
"Its simple, Draco's your partner and you know all about your boss from Crys, so just do what you're told to do."
Ginny swallowed and hitched her superior smirk back onto her face to face the world as Crystianna once again.
"Merlin could you take any longer with your bloody gossiping?!"
Ginny suppressed her jump and raised her eyebrows at Draco as he pushed off from where he leaned against the wall in the shadows.
"I could if you wanted, shall I just find Nessa and start on the entire grapevine?"
Draco rolled his eyes and unfolded his arms before gripping her wrist and heading down the corridor towards the canteen. Ginny had to confess she was liking Draco a lot more since she had returned to England as Crystianna; he was a lot nicer to be around when he had known you since birth, or at least thought he had.
And she was forced to admit, walking into the Dining Hall practically holding hands with the most wanted guy in the college was definitely an experience not to be missed.
