Chapter 2: 6th year DADA
The next morning, Ginny woke up, gots dressed, and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. It hardly felt like she had a whole summer vacation with her family, Hermione, and with...with- nevermind, don't even go there.. she remembered when Harry asked her if she fancied to finding a compartment with him the day before. She remembered the great tinge of regret and guilt right after she turned around- or even started the sentence "I said I'd meet Dean," If she was alone with him in the compartment... he would put his hand around her shoulders... lean closer... close his eyes.. then-
OOMPH!
-She had blindly walked into someone with a quite large body.
"Oops...sorry," she bowed, quickly thinking that it was one of the guy professors since a kid's body wont be so big. She heard a chuckle behind her and turned around. For a split second she thought she was looking at some kind of wickedly handsome creature which sounds very corny, then she realized that it was Harry.
"You don't have to say sorry let alone bow to walls with banners on 'em Ginny," he chuckled once again, watching as she realized what she was doing and blushed in deep pink. She had this picture taking thing embedded in her brain- what did her dad tell her it was called? Oh yes, a camera!- that took mental images of Harrys and was saved safely in a section in her brain called ' Harry Potter the lovable' so she can look over them come other time only to slap herself silly to forget and delete those picture- treasures.
"Care to come to breakfast with me?" he asked brightly (A/N: Harry seems to again forget that she didn't hang out with him, Ron, and Hermione...) She turned to face him again and locked their gazes. She thought she could just melt away into Ginny Weasley the goo by staring into those deep depths of bright charming green eyes-
"Hey Ginny!"
For a moment or two, she hated that voice of Dean Thomas but was somehow glad the next because she was starting to become shaky in the legs.
"Hey Harry," Dean said a quick greeting, then turned to Ginny as if Harry wasn't there and asked or rather demanded,
"Let's go to breakfast, lil' kitty," Damn, how she hated that corny and perverted nickname! He dragged her toward the Great Hall and she thought she saw a flicker of dissapointment and disgust cross Harry's face.
At the Gryffindor table, she couldn't help but take quick glances at Harry every then seconds. She hated herself for even feeling this way still and watned to either explode or pull all of her hair out with her "bear' hands. She imagined herself exploding with madness, clothes flying everywhere (A/N: Like Timmy's dad in Fairly Odd Parents or w/e it's called) unitl Dumbledore announced that they had a new teacher.
"Good morning everyone. I hope you are having a great beginning of first day at Hogwarts. We have a new teacher for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts, Queerlord Humperdick, or Professor Dick. (the new teacher who looked a bit too clean for a guy stood up from his chair then sat back down) Let us resume our breakfast at this point. Have a nice morning everyone,"
When the food from the golden plates were replaced by dessert, Ginny heard the gasps and the noises of surprise and awe from the first years.
'I already told Hermione long time ago that I gave up on Harry and she probably told him that already.. Ugh! What am I worrying for! There's plenty of guys out there, it's not like Harry's the only guy alive! And I also got Dean...' she thought as she killed her tripple pudding with her fork.
She was half right but half worng. Firstly, there was plenty of guys for her infact, there were huge amounts of guys lined up behind her tail (she doesn't seem to know this..) and secondly, she was wrong about Harry being the only guy (apart from Ron, but she can't count him becuase he's her brother..) because it seemed most of the girls were joined in a fan club called 'Harry Potter Lovers' which they sent information about him to each other sighing "awww..," and putting their hands on their cheeks, eyes dreamy. Harry seemed very oblivious to this. I mean, how thick can boys be? Girls were flinging themselves at him and talking loudly how cute he was right behind him.Man, she would love to see them seething and breaking their wands with rage if she was his.
'What in the bloody hell am I thinking?' she banged her head on the table several times.
"Whoa! What're you doing kitty!" Dean said. She blushed as several people turned around, looked at her wierdly, then turned back again to whisper behind thir hands.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot to inform you children, for this year, we will be adding some 5th years to 6th year Defense Against the Dark Arts- his eyes twinkled toward Ginny- since there seems to be too many 5th years this year (A/N: Just pretend new kids from different schools moved to Hogwarts) and several of them who will deserve this spot should be advanced enough. 5th years who are interested to try out for 6th year Defense Against the Dark Arts, shall sign up their names in their common room whichever house they're in then meet yp in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom this evening for tryouts. However, if there isn't enough 5th years trying out, we will have to decide which ones to give the spot to by the Defense Against the Dark Arts from last year," added Dumbledore.
Ginny had a funny feeling that Dumbledore did not forget to add that in his first speech but announced after dessert in order to give it more attention. By the time Ginny was sitting in her first classroom which was Transfiguration, many or the people were bezzing about the try outs...especially the fan members of "Harry Potter Lovers' club.
"Lets tryout for the 6th year DADA! We might end up in the same class as...-sighs dreamly- him! Besides, it seems like every one else is trying out for it," said a dirty blond haired girl to her annoying looking freind, both giggling madly.
Ginny listened to several other girls' converstaions and it all seemed to the same thing. Harry...Harry...HARRY! Ginny decided shortly after listening to the conversations not to tryout for the 6th year DADA (even though she somehow wanted to) not wanting to seem like one of those Harry-obsessed perverted girls. Why not go over the things she had learned in Harry's DA?...for the whole year...again?
"Today, we are going to be transfigure...blah blah blah..," Professor McGonagall's speech sunndenly transfigured itself as "blah blah"s as Ginny's thoughts swirled into her own dreamland...
During break, when she went up to the common room of Gryffindor, she saw nearly all of the 5th years signing the tryouts for 6th year DADA, most of them girls.
"Hey Ginny, have you seen Harry?" the voice belonging to Ron Weasley asked.
"No..haven't seen him all morning. You guys and Hermione always stick together. Don't ask me, I don't hang around with you gu-"
"Hey guys!"
Ginny flinched and Ron looked surprised then said happly,
"Harry! Where've you been? I was looking all over for you mate,"
"Oh, sorry.. I went to the bathroom and then bumped into Cho..then..," his voice dropped.
Ginny felt a swoop of sadness wash over her instantly. She didn't want to find out what had happened. Maybe Cho Chang snogged him again?...She didn't want to find out.
"Are you trying out for the 6th year DADA Gin?" Harry asked.
She took a moment to answer him,
"Huh? Oh...no..um... I'm gonna goto class early.. see ya guys..," then she left the room.
"Girls...they're so wierd. Even though she's my sister, I bloody don't get how the hell her mood changes so fast. tsk," Ron clicked his toungue.
-----------------------------
That night, Ginny fell into an uneasy sleep, dreaming about Harry and that Cho Chang girl holding hands then kissing and she was falling and falling through an dark clouded eldless sky... The following morning, she felt the rays of the sun on her face so brightly- wait, her curtians were closed... she peaked a look with a slightly opened one eye only to find the sun smiling so broadly that it covered her view with white. But she came to sudden realization that shw wasn't feeling the intense warmth of the gaze the sun was giving. She sat up immediately to find a brightly shining parchment floating in front of her. It read in neat fancy letters:
Congradulations Miss Weasley,
you have passed for the sith year of Defense Against the Dark Arts! Your schedule will still be the same but remember that you are taking the sixth year Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Queerlord Humperdick
"What?" she yelled loudly waking up everyone in her dormitory.
-----------------------------------------
Well, that's it for chapter two: ) I know Ginny's suppose to be mature minded and stuff but I thought that would make the stroy a bit uninteresting so I made her more like ...um...less mature-er? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that. I live for reviews! (but I don't eat for review though. I eat for me stomach XD) Reviews are the only thing that actually keep me writing...(whispers) I will return... /vanishes into the wind dramatically again/
