The day before the Hogwarts express was to depart. There was much activity in The Burrow as Weasleys, Potter, and Granger alike were packing their trunks for the year to come. Harry was focused on getting his socks matched, then decided to do the smart thing and throw all his clothes in the trunk randomly. All of a sudden, a knock sounded at his door and Ginny's voice came floating by, "Oh Harry, would you like to see my underwear?" Potter stood straight up and asked, "C-come again?" Ginny looked rather bored and replied, "I said, 'Can you help me find my teddy bear?' I've been looking all over for it and just don't know where he is." Harry: "O-ohh, okay, hold on a sec."
Huh. Harry is so adorable, I've always thought so, but was he nervous around me just now? Ginny was wondering as she waited outside his room, waiting for him to finish 'packing'. Nah, it can't be. Harry Potter, nervous around the little Weasley girl? No way. "All set, now let's go find that teddy." Ginny heard right near her ear. Laughing at the silly remark, she joined Potter in the search for her bear, then found him, of all places, in the sink being brushed by the broom. "FRED! GEORGE! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" After threatening her brothers with extra painful bat-bogey hexes, Ginny proceeded to cuddle her bear until she felt he was all right.
The residents of the Burrow were all packed and ready to leave for the King's Cross-station. Arriving at platform 9 ¾, Harry's eyes never left Ginny. Goodness, her long flowing hair, her gorgeous face, that body! Oh, he just wanted to…No, no, restrain was necessary! Biding farewell to Molly and Arthur Weasley, the Hogwarts students boarded the train headed for school. Just as the train started to move Harry, Ron and Hermione found an empty car. The friends settled down and not soon after, Ginny came by with a few other girls. "Uh, Ron, these are my friends Leena, Norelle, and Maggie." Respectively the girls were short and freckled, lanky and pale, and slim and tan. Actually, Maggie was making eyes at Harry as Ginny spoke. "Is it alright if I go to school with them? I'll visit you at supper." Ron okayed the request, Harry trying to look elsewhere when the flaunty girl approached him and said, "Ooh, you're Harry Potter, aren't you? I know all about you. He's quite the hot one, isn't he, Gin?" "Yeah, sure, whatever, let's go!" At this Potter's face burned red, he looked away in confusion and hurt. Hermione was the only one who knew the whole story.
Outside the car, Maggie turned to Ginny and asked, "Hey, that Harry is a real hottie. Why didn't you tell us he was that good looking up close?" "I dunno, must have slipped my mind…" "Oh, since you obviously don't care about him, d'you mind if I ask him out? He was ogling me back there, I know there's something!" No one saw Ginny turn red and get angry for a split second, not even Ginny. "Sure, whatever." She waved away the fact that her supposed friend was hitting on her first love
