AN: Hey Guys! Up for another chapter to my own little Frankenstein-ish story? (As in, very disjointed and my very first experimental fic.) Alright in this chapter we'll explore more on why this story is called Ginny Oblivious alright? And I'd like to thank my first 2 reviewers! Zoot! First 2 reviews and they were nice!
BlueJeanJunkie: Aww thanks so much! I'm glad you like the start so far, I just hope I don't butcher my story to much. Oh and I promise to bring in Draco really soon!
Adoring: Yeah, I did it a once over and I did notice quite a few punctual mistakes…. Like a capital in the middle of a sentence, sorry about that. I'll try to smarten up, but Thanks for your support!
So on with the Fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter! (Jeez these things are annoying to write.)
Ginny Oblivious
Where Ginny gets her first lackey
Diagon Alley. Arguably the busiest and most lively spot in the entire Wizarding World. Including those Eskimo people in Canada and those darn Yanks who like there cell phones so overly much. Today though it seemed that Diagon Alley was an impenetrable mass of people. Hundreds of students from all over western Europe were there, including all there parents who were forced to pay for all those silly book's. At least that was Molly Weasley's opinion.
"Honestly I don't understand why they have to change the books you need every year." Molly said with a sigh, shoving a poor innocent bystander in the process of paying for owl feed. Molly sent him a dirty look that said I-don't-care-about-your-opinion-I'm-bigger-than-you-deal-with-it. The poor man just slinked away, close to tears.
"Mrs. Weasley it's only because they can't keep teaching you the same things every year. Where would we be in the future if we never taught young witches and wizards anything of sustenance?" Hermione said with a slight nod of her head. She glanced around for her best friends or maybe her friend's little sister. Ginny was always very good at distracting her mother.
"Hmm, it would still save me a lot of…" Molly was interrupted by Ron's sudden shriek of…well something. Rushing over, Molly and Hermione took in the sight of Ron in tears, Harry beaming at the same time as looking worried and Ginny jumping up and down and then dancing a small happy jig.
Molly looking panicked asked what the matter was. Ron stood up and pointed accusingly over at Ginny and roared "She won that bloody draw! She won a bloody damned gift card for Zonko's joke shop! You don't even like playing jokes on people! The damned contest was put forth by Luna's fathers magazine. And everyone knows you're Luna's best friend!" Ron looked like he was going to froth at the mouth, so Hermione went over to pat his head and talk soothingly to him. It seemed to work because Ron didn't look like he was about to erupt like Mt St Helens after that.
Ginny looking very insulted during all of this, felt that she had to set things straight. "Ron, are you saying that I had the contest fixed?" After Ron nodding his head with an indignant look on his face, Ginny continued. "You do realize that it was a draw. A draw where I just put a tiny bit of paper, which you also did not 10 minutes ago and then the draw-ers pulled out one of those itty bits of paper and then announced who won."
Ron just looked at her with that Ron-is-better-than-you look on his face. Which normally he is only aloud to do to Ginny because everyone else would beat him up. And of course this was one of those things that aggravated Virginia to no end.
So it was no surprise that Ginny was positively fuming at this point. Inside her head Tom was attempting to calm the poor thing down "Now Ginny love, I don't see what the problem is. All he did was accuse you of some idiot thing, Ronald constantly does that. You shouldn't feel too victimized" Tom felt rather proud of that little speech so he left Ginny to her own devices.
Of course that was clearly very poor judgment on Tom's part. Never ever should you leave a Weasley fuming, no matter what. You'd think that after four years trapped in the girl's head he'd realize this but clearly Tom Riddle was very naïve in that aspect of the Weasley family.
So Ginny snapped. In a very teenage girl way with plenty of arm flinging and hoping up and down and her face getting really red. Passing by you might have thought the poor girl was choking, alas no, she was having one of her famed tantrum's.
In an attempt to save her family from shame, Molly made a grab for Ginny's arm but the younger far more nimble girl hoped out of her mothers reach, opened her mouth and "You don't have a clue about me! How can you accuse me of things like that. I bet Luna doesn't even know there was a thing like this going on! I hate you! You can't tell me what to do! I hate all of you!" With that Ginny turned and ran away with her mother calling out behind her to quit acting like a child.
Deciding that the best course of action would be to go and hide somewhere, Ginny opted for one of the many pet shop's where as she was going in, ran headlong into Luna Lovegood, who had been in the middle of exiting the shop with a bag of cat food. Luna looked up and hugged her best friend. And so they began the reciting of the other's vacation and what they thought about going back to school soon and the like.
Everything was all sunshine and lollipops for the two estranged friends until Millicent Bullestrode stomped in between them and grunted "Get out of my way, you ponces!" And the two girls scuttled to the back of the store near the toad section. Millicent was on her merry to the snake section.
Luna looked at Ginny and asked in a low whisper "How are you and Tom getting along now?" Being Ginny's only confidant (except for of course Tom) to the fact that the Future dark lord shared her mind. Luna never seemed to mind, really she kind of thought it normal behavior. Of course she also thought that wearing a hat made out of papaya leaves and wearing pages from her worst subject as an outfit at the start of every winter was normal. So really that wasn't saying much.
Ginny pursed her lips. Then smiled when she caught sight of herself in a mirror, she truly was adorable when she did that, of all her qualities her nose and her lips were her favorite. "Fine, fine. He's been quite cranky as of late" then she paused "Tom says he is fine and hopes that you are also well"
Luna blushed "I'm wonderful Thomas" then she flipped her hair over her shoulder and let out a giggle. Then Ginny giggled. Soon both girls were just a mass of giggles laughing at most everything. Poor Tom though 'Never again will ever I say anything directly concerning Luna EVER again.'
After the girls were done Luna got her serious face on "What I would like to know is if you could have your future self possibly kill or mutilate her" Pointing at Millicent, who seemed to sense she was the subject of their conversation and snarled at them. "I mean that for Thomas, not you Gin"
Ginny took a moment then answered "Tom says not to be an idiot, that if he were able to make contact with" Ginny switched to a low whisper "Voldemort" Then proceeded to look around "He wouldn't be here, inside me talking about stupid juvenile girly games." Luna looked downcast for a moment then began beaming.
"Oh well, let's go to that new ice cream shop and get some double mint chocolate fudge, ok?" As the started to leave they heard something that sounded like a dying moose. Shocked they turned to see Millicent on the ground crying her eyes out and holding her left forearm. "Hmm, she looks as if she is in pain… Oh well, let the shop keeper deal with it" Luna announced and began to plod off, at least she was until Ginny grabbed her arm.
"We have to help her! She might be dying!" Dragging Luna behind her, Ginny knelt over Millicent and asked her what was wrong.
"A snake bit me! Someone has to suck the poison out" Luna snorted at that. But Ginny the ever vigilant hero grabbed Millicent's arm, found the wound and put her mouth to it. Sucking she quickly spat out whatever liquid that had touched her tongue.
Millicent's eyes were as wide as saucers. She then got up and grabbed Ginny and swung her around and kept on thanking her, over and over and over again. 'God! This girl is at least 6'1! Stupid lump of a thing had better not crush you or I may never realize my dream' Tom grunted in her head. Ginny feeling completely suffocated uttered a quiet "Amen"
When Millicent finally released her. She grinned at the pet shop owner, who just entered and explained to him what happened. He looked kind of confused and was about to open his mouth to say something when Millicent interrupted him "Ginny I thank you from the bottom of my heart" Another snort from Luna "I am in your debt, at school I will do everything in my power to make you comfortable." and with that said Millicent gave Ginny another bone crushing hug and left.
"Umm excuse me Miss?" Both girls looked up "Uh, did that young……Lady just say that she was glad you saved her life from something in this store?"
"Yes, she was bitten by a poisonous snake and I had to suck the venom out" Ginny said bashfully. She didn't want to have her face in the paper. She needed to lose another 5 pounds before she could do that.
The shop keeper laughed "Young lady, you realize that there are no poisonous snakes in my store?" Ginny looked very confused. "Yes, so you may want to tell her she doesn't owe you a wizard debt or anything else for that matter, did you really suck on her arm? Ha I'll have to tell Frank about this later" With that he went to the back of his store once again.
Before Ginny could answer Luna dragged her out onto the street. "Do you realize what just happened?" Ginny shook her head. "You just got the biggest baddest girl in school to be your lackey!" Luna looked excited "I mean, pissing you off at school is worse then messing up Malfoy's day now!"
"But didn't that guy just say that the snake wasn't poisonous, I mean -" Tom interrupted her thought 'Ginny take the offering before you or I will tell you jokes in that horrible Snape's class' Not wanting to upset Tom or Luna for that matter, Ginny answered "OK, fine"
"Wahoo! Now no one can make fun of us anymore, I mean they are all just jealous of us" Luna smiled "I mean with your brains and my looks and Millicent's brawn we will be unstoppable" She then proceeded to cackle, in a very un-Luna like way.
"But you do better in school then me. Most people do better then me. I'm only any good at care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies" Ginny looked again, very confused.
Luna looked thoughtful "Well, you can have red hair, not many people have that. Its very….memorable"
Tom just laughed and laughed as they made there way back to the central part of the alley.
AN: alright! Chapter 2 done! This one is about the same length as the last one. I'd like some more feedback though, you know so I know how not to mess up whatever good idea's I have. Oh and the prize Ginny won will come up again, you'll see! (review some more, it's a good motivator)
