Chapter Three-First Day

Two hours after the plane had taken off, Ginny again looked at the man sleeping beside him. She can't seem to remember meeting a man that looked like him. She thought that it's quite impossible since she rarely meets Muggles and she thought that this man was one. Still confused, she took a book from her bag and opened it. Four more hours, she thought.

Standing in front of the door of the house she will be living in for the next days, Ginny can't seem to open it. It was not because she was not used at opening doorknobs, it was just because she still had doubts of making the right decision. Taking a deep breath, she touched the knob and entered the house.

Entering the mansion, her mouth fell open. Walls painted all white, a pair of grand staircase in front of her, the décor was just superb. The floor was glistening beige and all that she saw was just grand. A grip holding her luggage, she started to walk. Wondering where she should go first, she heard some voices in the living room.

She went over there and saw that there were eleven ladies seated (some were standing) talking and smiles painted on their faces. The moment she was to be seen, a group looked at her and came up and introduced themselves to her. She was glad of being well accepted by the other women. But what struck her attention was that a woman dressed in a red outfit looked familiar. It was the woman she had bumped into in the airport.

Seeing her, Ginny smiled at the thought that there was an English woman with her. Her thoughts were cut when a man dressed in a tuxedo entered the room. Seeing him, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

"Good evening, ladies. You know why you're here. Competing for his heart, capture it and you'll win him. But there is more in the bag. Get chosen and you'll have it," he paused for a moment then continued, "a million dollars," he said, hands together in front of him. The moment the 'million dollars' phrase was said, all the ladies smiled even wider.

"But for now, get to know each other and you'll meet the man tomorrow," he continued, a smile formed in his mouth, "Good night ladies, have a good sleep and good luck," he ended and then departed.

The ladies smiled at each other, excited on what was going to happen tomorrow. And Ginny can't believe it but she was one of them. Walking upstairs with her things, she entered one of the rooms and found out that she was sharing it with two other women. And one of them is the woman in the red dress.

"Hi," the woman said as she approached Ginny who was fixing her things on her bed, "um, you probably don't remember me but I kind of met you in the airport, remember?" she asked in a gentle voice. Ginny smiled at her.

"Yeah, I kind of bumped into you, sorry about that. I'm Ginevra Weasley by the way, but you can call me Ginny for short," Ginny said thinking that her newfound friend seems to be really nice.

"Alicia James here. Nice meeting you, Ginny," Alicia replied, her hand out shaking Ginny's right. She was a tall brunette with round eyes and thin lips. In short, Ginny found her appealing and not to mention that she seems to be really congenial.

Meeting the other person they would be sharing the bedroom with, Ginny also found her very friendly. After some minutes, Alicia came over Ginny's place and smiled.

"You're a Weasley? I have never heard anyone who have a last name like that," she said nicely. Ginny didn't know what to say to that. She felt nervous because she doesn't have any explanation. So what she did was smile. Alicia saw that Ginny was kind of tensed.

"Not at least in the Muggle World," she connected. Ginny looked at her with pure surprise and shock. Ginny's mouth was quite open when she heard Alicia say 'muggle'. They just looked at each other. Alicia winked at Ginny then went back to her things. That wink had explained everything.

Ginny tossed and turned and can't seem to fall asleep. Feeling that insomnia was again attacking her system, she looked at the ceiling above her and then to the ladies who are deep in slumber on the other side of the big bedroom. Thinking that a good glass milk would do her good, she stood up and walked as quietly as she can until she was down the stairs.

Walking wearing a nightdress beneath her white robe, Ginny looked around her and found that no one was awake. She went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She got the milk and poured a small amount to the glass she was holding.

Thinking that it would do her no harm to walk and explore the house, Ginny, instead of sitting at the dining room, went. She learned that there was a swimming pool, a tennis court at the back of the house. When she returned inside and closed the door, she almost choked when she saw a portrait of a man beside the billiard table.

She looked at it and found it quite familiar. Still staring at the picture, Ginny tried to recall where could she have seen the man. Then, like being struck by some lightning, her eyes went even wider than usual.

It was the man she bumped in the airport. It was the man beside her in the airplane. Those eyes…

You don't remember me, do you? she remembered the man saying.

It was the same man she avoided in school.

"Draco Malfoy," she whispered, eyes wide.
