Alright, well here is the second chapter people.

I would like to thank demonlover11 for reviewing. I did go back and attempt to fix that first paragraph. As for the rumors that's all you get to hear... for now of course.

She took a deep breath and as gathered up every ounce of her Gryffindor courage and knocked on the heavy door ever so lightly. Almost hoping that the girl wouldn't hear so she could hastily trot back down the stairs. What if some of the rumors where true.

Before she could turn around and run back down the stairs to sit back down on that couch, which all of a sudden seemed very inviting to her at the moment, a rather annoyed, "yeah?" sounded from the other side of the door. Well, she couldn't turn back now.

Ginny bit her lip before she spoke. "Uh, it's me Ginny. You don't know me but I just wanted to say sorry for what you had to hear back there and I was wondering if you wanted to... you know hang out or something?"

Her answer came in the form of the rustling of papers at first then the door was opened about half ways. At this time Ginny finely got her first view of the other girl from less than ten-feet away. The first thing she noticed was not her striking red hair this time, but how greatly her pail, her almost ivory skin, contrasted with her black Hogwarts robes.

"Is this some sort of joke?" Asked the slim girl, who was just an inch or two taller then Ginny herself.

Ginny quickly shook her head both, to say no and to shake out the cobwebs that had formed in her head. "No. I really am sorry and I really would like to get to know you." She gave a small smile as the other girl studied her carefully as if she expected Ginny to suddenly burst out laughing.

Finally the other girl answered. "Okay, I guess... what do you want to do?"

Ginny looked around for a moment. "Can I come in?"

The other girl hesitated but moved to the side, letting Ginny into the room. It was just like any other room except for the fact that there was only one bed on the entire expanse of the floor instead of the usual four, along with a singular desk. After looking around for a while longer Ginny noticed one other thing, unlike most of the rooms there was no window. She shrugged it off not thinking anything of it.

Devon watched as Ginny looked around her room and sighed. "So?"

The slightly shorter girl quickly turned her gaze from Devon's room to the girl herself. "Sorry I just... you have your own room lucky, how did you manage that any way?"

The Durmstrang girl shrugged. "I was transferred after the rooms were assigned so they didn't want to change things around. I kind of like it... more time to myself."

Ginny nodded. "Cool... so you like to read don't you?" She stated upon noticing quite a large collection of books in one corner on a small shelf, most of the covers black or another dark colour unlike the light colored books she had seen Hermione reading time and time again.

"Yeah I do. It's a way to escape from this place... to be someone else for a bit." Devon looked at Ginny for a moment as she nodded her agreement and then the taller girl sat down on her bed. "So, what do you want to do?"

Ginny paused for a moment then shrugged. "I don't know... oh hey are you going on the Hogsmade trip on Saturday?" She asked upon realizing she didn't have anyone to go with, unless she went with her brother and his friends. Hanging out with her brother and his friends was no longer her idea of a good time, lately Ron had become a little over protective. She was well aware that her body had changed from the days that she had had a crush on 'the great Harry Potter' but as far as she was concerned it was for the better. Except of course for the fact that Ron now nearly bit off the head of any guy that dared look at her.

"No, I wasn't planning on it." Said Devon, looking up at Ginny. "Why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go with me, might be fun you know." Ginny said looking hopeful.

The pail skinned girl looked at Ginny like she was crazy for a moment, but soon a small smile formed on her lips. "Sure. I guess that sounds okay."

Ginny grinned. "Okay cool." She looked at the clock on Devon's desk. "Oh, it's getting late and I have double potions tomorrow... I'm going to go and get some sleep." She walked slowly towards the door. "G'night see you... in potions I guess."

Devon nodded. "Night."

At that Ginny gave her a small wave and then headed to her own room, closing Devon's door when she left. Grinning to herself she made her way down the hall towards her own room.
