Chapter 3.
The story of Ginny embarrassing Malfoy in front of the entire school was spreading like wildfire. The students who loathed Malfoy gave Ginny thumbs up when she passed them through the corridors whereas the Slytherins would just crack their knuckles and give her threatening looks, which she chose to ignore.
Ginny was still quite nervous of what Malfoy might do in her next meeting with him. She was getting confused in her own thoughts when a large crowd of students gathering around the notice board distracted her. She started walking towards the huge mass of people when she noticed Natalie making her way out with Colin and one of her Ravenclaw friends, Sydney. Their faces wore the most excited expressions that she had never seen before.
Natalie was prancing up and down the corridor like a ferret as Ginny went up to them and asked, "What's up? Why is there such a huge crowd by the notice board? Anything special?"
"Special?! Gin, the Weird Sisters are in concert!" replied Sydney.
"Yup," Colin added.
" They holding the concert in Hogsmeade." but before he could finish Natalie cut him off.
" And luckily the concert is held up the same day as our next, next Hogsmeade visit which is a few days before Halloween. Dumbledore might tell us more about it during dinner. Isn't it exciting?"
" Yeah. I guess so" Ginny replied in a bored and gloomy tone.
" Ginny you can't just say that. I thought you were crazy about the Weird Sisters" Sydney said as if Ginny has lost her mind.
" Yes. I still am crazy about them. But I'll have to ask for some more money from my family because I didn't bring much with me this year." Ginny said feeling even more depressed. Her friends knew that her family had some financial problems.
But there was still some hope, she could get some money to spend in Hogsmeade for Halloween and her elder brothers Fred and George who now owned a joke shop could also help her.
" Oh Gin, don't worry. Everything will be fine. I'm sure something will come up that will make things a lot easier for you." Colin said assuring her placing a comforting arm around her shoulders and giving her a small hug.
"Yeah. Don't worry about it Weasley. I'm sure Creevey will think of something to oblige you." A voice full of sarcasm came up behind Ginny that made all the four jump and turn around and face the sneering Draco Malfoy. He was accompanied with his goons, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. All the three Slytherins had the familiar evil grins spreading across their faces.
" Poor little weasel, too weak and helpless to do anything herself. She needs others to support her."
" Oh just sod off Malfoy!" Natalie shot back at him with hatred and venom in her voice.
" Who asked you to open your filthy mouth? No one asked you to interrupt while I am talking to someone else" Malfoy said giving her a dangerous glare that shut her up. Natalie looked quite hurt.
Ginny was getting angry all over again she didn't notice how quiet the entire corridor had gone. Everyone's eyes were now on Ginny to see her reaction. Everyone knew that Ginny got upset very quickly when anyone mentioned about her family problems but were still unsure of what Ginny might do or say.
Ginny was trying her best to control her temper and replied back furiously, "Malfoy why don't you just get lost. Because no one asked you to open YOUR FILTHY mouth and pass FILTHY comments."
Malfoy looked quite outraged and was just about to say something but closed his mouth again because he spotted Professor McGonagall step into the corridor.
" What's going on in here? Why aren't you all in your classes? The bell just went a few minutes ago!" She asked in a strict voice with her eyes darting over students especially near Draco and Ginny.
" Weasley had just put beautiful show on and was trying to entertain everyone Professor." Malfoy said in a snotty voice giving Ginny a mocking look as he pushed past her and Sydney disappearing around the corner. Crabbe and Goyle hurried after him. All the students were also going into their classroom a bit disappointed with Professor McGonagall arrival.
" Is everything alright Miss Weasley?" Professor McGonagall asked in a concerned voice when she saw Natalie's hurt expression.
All Ginny could do was just nod because she didn't want any teachers or relatives getting involved. She wanted to sort her problem against Malfoy all by herself. Professor McGonagall didn't think that she could ask any more so she said in a stern voice, " Well then you'd better hurry to your next class. You are already y ten minutes late."
Natalie confirmed the others that she was all right as soon as the Professor had left them all by themselves. They then starting heading towards their Charms classroom soon forgetting about Malfoy.
