A/N: This is just something I started a year or two ago, and I happened to come across it while cleaning my room. I think I remember where I was going with this, but let me know if you'd like it if I continued.

BIRTHDAY WISH

Full Summary:

Ginny makes a wish on her 16th birthday. And in the wizarding world, a wish made on their 16th birthday comes true. Almost nobody remembers, but for Ginny, it's an incredibly good thing that she did.

Ginny was staring out at the scenery when she heard the compartment door open.

"So how did you distract Pansy?" she asked without turning away from the window.

"I didn't, but Creevey sure did," an icy voice said.

Ginny turned sharply, "Who welcomed you into my compartment Malfoy?"

"It's not yours, it doesn't have your name on it," he retorted.

"Yes well it has my body in it, which means I claimed it for myself."

"Hmm, well that could be fixed," he replied with a smirk. And before she knew what he was doing, she found herself lifted out of the compartment.

"Malfoy!" she yelled, "Let go of me!"

"Why? I'm just doing what I need to do to make the compartment mine," he smirked, and shut the door in her face when she was out in the corridor.

Ginny kicked at the door strongly at first, but soon gave up when she realized he wouldn't open it. She sat down in defeat and leaned against it, closing her eyes. How in Merlin is my wish going to come true with scum like Malfoy in the school? she thought.

Colin came down the corridor whistling. That was one escapade he was never going to forget. He stopped when he came across Ginny sitting on the floor.

"Who are you and what do you want?" she asked tiredly, not opening her eyes.

"My name is Gregory and I'm going to steal you away to be my personal slave," he said, imitating Goyle's stupid voice.

"What!" Ginny opened her eyes in surprise. "Oh its you Colin."

"Yes its me my dear," he replied, "Would you kindly explain why you are in the hall and not the compartment?"

Just then the door opened a little and Draco poked his head out.

"Well that certainly explains it," Colin said in a light voice.

"Creevey, stop making so much noise and leave."

"I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request," Colin replied.

"Yeah whatever."

"It means no."

"I'm not stupid Creevey."

"Well it sure seemed like it," Ginny jumped in.

"The helpless mouse has spoken up," Malfoy said with a smirk.

"I'm not a helpless mouse!" Ginny retorted.

"No? Then how come I was able to cart you off like one?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you're stronger than I am?"

"This could go on all day, but unfortunately we haven't the time," Colin interrupted.

"Oh really? I was under the impression that we had a whole lifetime to do this kind of thing," Draco smirked.

"Well perhaps you do, but other wizards have to work for a living because we don't have filthy rich conniving fathers like you do," Ginny said spitefully.

"Yes well at least my father doesn't dabble around in Muggle junk and actually attempts to make money."

"Well at least mine loves me!" Ginny replied angrily, hurt that the only thing her father was known for was being interested in Muggle items. At least he had an interest, instead of following around some dark lord like an obedient dog.

Draco didn't say anything, and Colin looked over at him curiously. For the merest second, he could have sworn he saw something like sadness in Malfoy's eyes. He turned back to Ginny, "C'mon, let's go find another compartment."

"Will you at least let me get my things?" Ginny asked Malfoy harshly, "Or do you plan on claiming those too?"

"Just keep the whole compartment, I don't care," he answered neutrally, and swept away.

The line "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request," is of course from Pirates of the Caribbean.
