Yes, above you read correctly, it is 1983. I'm ready to kill that chick! Who or what the hell was she? So allow me to recap. Some nut job with green hair and green clothes and many terribly green objects told me to answer her riddles or she'd kill me. The riddles were easy and then next thing I know I'm lying on the grass surrounded by a bunch of teenage boys. I found out that they were Sirius, Remus, and some guy named Peter. But the greatest shock was seeing James Potter, OMG it's Harry's dad I just cant believe it!
Sirius, of course was his annoying self, attempting to charm anything with boobs, and Remus was so kind. I feel bad for attacking him though. And then Peter, he was so nervous looking he was almost cute. I think that I'd like to befriend him, his friends don't seem to attempt to boost his self esteem much…
So Remus being the gentleman he was escorted me to Madame Promfey which the others, not wanting to be left out also came with me. Madame Promfey was busy so her intern, a young red haired girl somewhat taller than me with green eyes, Harry's eyes, took a look at me. According to her white robe her name is Lily. When she was done she seemed to notice that not only was Remus with me, but James and Sirius as well (Peter went to lunch). She rolled her eyes and began to talk to Remus about a book she was currently reading on Goblins. But now James is acting an ass and I wish to pay full attention so I'll stop here.
Farewell.
GW
"James Potter you asshole just because you don't understand the oppression of the goblin kind doesn't mean you have to make fun of them!" Lily said, green eyes turning to slits as her fists were balled tight. "Hey all I said was that they're filthy little buggers," James said. "And you have met a goblin!" Lily demanded. "Um yeah, I believe his name is Professor Flitwick, duh" This cause a great uproar of laughter from Sirius. "Oh shut your fucking trap Black," Lily snapped at him.
"Hey you little wench you don't talk to me like that," Sirius said, his hand twitching towards his wand. Lily stepped forward. "you gonna hex me? Are you Black?" She pushed him roughly. "Gonna use an unforgivable huh? Some dark magic are you?" She nudged him again and he fell back two steps "Gonna show me something that your dear pure blood daddy showed you huh?" She said "You stupid bi-". And then SMACK. She had slapped Sirius across the face and knocked the wind out of him. And less than a second later there was a second smack and Lily was holding her face in disbelief as her right cheek turned an ugly purple.
"Oh my god Sirius hit a girl!" James exclaimed. But Sirius was still on the ground. Ginny was at full height glaring at Lily with a hate that rivaled Harry's loathing for Snape. "Don't you ever speak of purebloods in such a manner. You think you dislike oppression? You don't even have a fucking clue! Never talk to a pureblood like that you filthy mudblood!" Ginny spat at her. She then froze covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide in shock. She did a fast about face and ran.
"Oh my god I'm terrible, I just called someone a- a- mudblood," Ginny said, hands covering her face as she sat on a set of stairs near the dungeons. I cant believe I said that, she thought to herself. I don't know what came over me, it was just the way she said it, as if being pureblooded was bad, as if she were above us… I-it just happened. "Evans, Evans, Evans… tsk tsk you know it's not safe for little Gryffindor mudbloods to be in this area," came an oily voice. Ginny looked up. Tall and pale, a platinum blonde haired man clothed in black slacks and a black button up, head boy badge shining brightly stood tall with a look of amusement in his face. "Why don't you go fuck yourself?" Ginny spat at him.
He looked confused. This is not the little mudblood I'm used to… such a filthy mouth this girl has, not Evans like at all, he thought to himself. "My dear I believe I have not met you I apologize I've mistaken you for someone else. you must be muggleborn to talk to a Malfoy like that, not knowing we're above you…" He was half talking to her half talking to himself. "But that red hair, those shabby robes, no your not muggleborn, you're a traitor, that must be it yes, I believe you are a relative of the Weasleys?" Malfoy asked his eyes traveling up her body sending shivers down her spine. Ginny merely nodded. "Thought so, shouldn't you be with the Gryffyndors?" He inquired.
"I uh… I haven't been sorted," Ginny said, this was partially true; she HAD been sorted, but that would be a good 18 years from now. "I just got here, I'm a transfer," Ginny said looking at him. Malfoy looked at her with a piercing stare as if he were using legimens to see whether Ginny was telling the truth. "Actually, he said thoughtfully, "Dumbledore did warn me of a girl exchange student coming somewhat late in the year. You should be able to catch up it hasn't been that long," Malfoy said again partially to himself and partially to her. I wonder if he always does that, Ginny thought switching from talking to someone to talking to himself.
He beckoned for Ginny to follow him as he began ascending the stairs and leading her to the Headmaster's office. They came to the stone Gargoyle and he said with a roll of his eyes, "Sugar Daddy, I must warn you the Headmaster is a bit of a whack job," he said. Ginny giggled, wondering whether Dumbledore were more eccentric back in her time than now.
Malfoy knocked on the door at the top of the narrow staircase. "Enter," came Dumbledore's calm smooth voice. He opened the door. "Ah Lucius, and wonderful you've brought Ms. Weasley!" Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling pleasantly and adding a strange eeriness and contrasting greatly with his hot pink robes. "Sugar Daddy?" he offered, "A tad bit sticky for my old teeth but absolutely wonderful!" Ginny accepted one of the long caramel pops, and sucked on it enjoying the sweet goodness it had. "Please sit Ms. Weasley and you as well Lucius," Dumbledore said gesturing towards the two large comfy chairs in front of his desk. Ginny and Lucius sat down.
"Welcome Ms. Weasley, I trust you had a pleasant trip?" Dumbledore asked her politely. A look in his face told her that he already knows and there's no need to talk about it. "Yes it was very lovely. Wonderful view," Ginny said then returning to her candy. Dumbledore smiled. "Yes there are many types of scenic views that are absolutely mesmerizing aren't there Lucius?" "Huh what! Oh erm yeah," Lucius had been watching Ginny eat her candy with his mouth slightly open and had been brain dead to the world until Dumbledore mentioned his name.
This isn't the graceful asshole Malfoy that we all know and hate, Ginny thought to herself in sheer amazement. Must come along when he marries Narcissa. "So Ms. Weasley, may I call you Ginny? Lets get you sorted shall we?" He removed the old battered Purple and starred hat off of a shelf near Fawkes perch, where the magnificent bird sat singing quietly. He placed the hat on her head. There was a long moment of silence.
Oh my what a mind, what a mind, you have Gryffindor tendencies, but there are experiences you have, that only a Slytherin would have the mind to bear. Yes, very skilled as well of course Ravenclaw did always love that… And Hufflepuff oh no, no, no, you would never fit their, there's a question of you loyalty there… That definitely cancels out Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw, as skilled as you are, you're not quite rational enough for that it must be yes, it must be…
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat called out. Ginny stood stock still. Slytherin why… what- Ginny was about to ask the hat a question but the hat was already being removed off of her head by Dumbledore. "Well that settled," Dumbledore said, " Lucius will you show her to her rooms and then to the great hall for dinner?" Lucius nodded and beckoned for Ginny to yet again follow him.
They walked down many winding staircases until they were clothed in darkness. "Lumos" Ginny muttered, wand lighting the stone corridor. The continued walking. "Once you become familiar with walking down these halls you wont need wand light to move about. So far there are only a few people I know of that can navigate the whole school in the dark and that is Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore and James Potter and the prat squad," Lucius said, his voice echoing off of the moist walls. "Here we are, see the runes here, this is the entrance, the password is Hassieth Assassthi," The wall opened showing a graceful redwood door which Malfoy prodded with is wand, which then dematerialized and led into a short tunnel in which light could be seen at the end.
"What does that mean?" Ginny asked curiously. "It's something in parseltongue, we don't know, something Professor Slughorn, our head of house, had researched." Lucius shrugged and smoothed his hair back with his hand. The had entered a handsome room painted a forest green and had redwood paneling and a great redwood floor on which in the center of the triangular room lay a large carpet made of what Ginny suspected was the skin of a unicorn.
"You're room is up there," Lucius said pointing to a grand spiraling staircase with a green carpet made of crushed velvet. " The boys are over there," he pointed to a similar staircase except that this carpet had silver along it's edges. "And I'm on the Fifth floor behind the portrait of the four sprites of Magic. I'll wait for you to go see your room and change, then we can go to dinner." Ginny went up the stairs to the room that had her name and the names of a few other girls: Narcissa Black, Artimus , and Katrina Zabini. What really confused Ginny was the Artimus, how can someone have a last name of "?" ? shaking it off she entered the room, which seemed to have been decorated, instead of the dark green downstairs an odd light green that reminded Ginny of the inside of an avocado and a just as soft pink profile.
The four post bed on her far left had elegant white lace curtains and many silk covered pillows. Next to it was a large eggshell white vanity With a great mirror and many sets of silver combs and brushes of all sizes and a large container of powder.
The bed on the right of that one has black lace curtains, two pillows and a green shag comforter so dark it almost looked black. In front of it was also a vanity, made with dark wood. It had a small mirror and many odd scratches on it done with a razor blade laying on it, the inscriptions looked like odd runes of some sort. On this desk were many stacks of paper and a carton cigarettes.
The bed to the right of Ginny had lavender curtains made of a sort of velvet and a lavender and black quilt on it. The vanity in front of that was larger than either of the other vanities and had many shelves full of different makeup sorted by color, it also had several sets of brushes made of what looked to Ginny like the bone of some animal.
On the far right end, the bed which Ginny assumed was hers, had pink and white lace curtains and on the bed where many pink and white satin covered pillows and a large pink and white comforter. There was a small vanity in front of it, also pink and white which had a single set of combs and brushes and some makeup.
She then noticed 4 closets, and she went to the one labeled, GW. She pulled out a simple black dress and put it on, pinning her Slytherin badge to it and putting on a pair of silver hoop earrings and a matching necklace with a black pendant (shocked that it all fit, Ginny assumed Dumbledore had set this up for her). Switching from her sneakers into a pair of black pumps and running the brush through her hair to make a bun, she went back down stairs to meet a waiting Lucius.
