Wow- I'm glade you liked it!

Chapter 5- Verbal Assault
Squeals of joy rang threw out platform 9 ¾, many people turned to see the small blonde with shocking pink streaks run and hug a smaller redhead who was laughing at the show of joy. Stepping back, Ginny looked at her best friends attire for the day, and was glade that she wasn't the only one traveling in her sleepwear.
Jefferson Janelle Tally stood in front of Ginny, a huge grin covering the small blonde's face. She wore a pair of pink cotton sleep pants low on her hips, a small matching tank top, the words "I'm a Goddess, you're a loser, any questions?" were written across it in sparkly white letters, stopping just above her navel ring. She wore a pair of pink and white Nikes and a bright pink chocker with tiny rhinestones, her pink watch glittered from her wrist as she checked, nodding at the fact she hadn't missed the train she looked over her best friend.
Ginny also wore her sleep pants, only instead of them being bright pink, they were black, like most of Ginny's wardrobe, it was the color that looked best on her and she was rather partial to it. On the butt across the back of the pants were the words "are you feeling LUCKY?'" she also wore a matching black tank top that had a picture of a steaming mug of coffee with the words "Lucky brand, get lucky in the morning"
"Nope, you haven't changed a bit, thank god! I was hoping I wouldn't have to drag you back out of your damn shell again, one time was enough for me!" Gin laughed and thought, 'yep this was definitely Jeff, Jeff who hated silence that is.'
"How much chocolate have you had this morning?" the blonde smiled sheepishly.
"Come on! I want a compartment all to ourselves!" Jeff said, stomping her small foot. Gin nodded and levitated her black trunk and messenger bag onto the train, Jeff following close behind with her bright pink trunk and bag. Once they had found a compartment Ginny let Tiger (The cat) out of his cage, Jeff was busy trying to get her own little fur ball not to claw her to death.
"Something tells me that Midge doesn't like her cage to much." the only reply she got was a snort, telling Gin that wasn't the half of it. "So, where's Rivs and Spike?"
Finally letting the cat out of the cage, Jefferson picked it up, trying to force the pink collar back on to the angry feline. Once she was sure it wasn't coming off, she turned to Ginny. "Rivers went with Laken and her mom to visit her granny in New Orleans, she was portkeying from there. Spike left straight from Hawaii and no ones heard from him since."
They bantered lightly about Dusty and his being accepted to college, as the train started moving. Ginny looked worriedly towards the door. The weather outside had grown stormy, great gray thunder heads were rolling rapidly towards them. Suddenly feeling tired, Ginny pulled a gray blanket out of her trunk and curled up on one of the seats. Jefferson was staring out the window, her pink headphones pulled over her ears, the music full blast. All of a sudden, the door was pulled open and there stood a boy of about 6'3, his muscles rippled beneath the weight of two trunks, a dark green one and a blue one. His sandy colored hair falling into his dark green eyes, "Hey Rivers! I found them!" he called down the train. (hehehe I bet you thought it was Draco huh?)
Ginny smiled as a tall dark headed girl came threw the door, a huge smile lighting up her olive complexion. "GINBUG! Oh my god! You have no idea what I've been through today!"
"Ummm… Rivs, if you don't move your going to have a couple of trunks on your head to boot." the girl sent a death glare at the boy but moved in to let him through. He put the trunks in the appropriate place.
"So where have you two been? You're like forty-five minutes late! Poor Gin has been having conniptions worrying over you two idiots " Jeff said, she had obviously pushed pause on her magical CD player.
"Spike got us lost, then when we got here, we couldn't find the compartment with you two in it!" Rivers Lindsey James pouted. Ginny studied her other female friend, she wore a pair of light blue jeans with a dark blue baby tee shirt. Her long hair was pulled into a messy ponytail. In her arms were her dark blue messenger bag and a light blue plush jacket.
"What do you mean I got us lost? I was going by your directions!" Ginny smiled at the dark green shirt he wore it had a huge pot leaf on the front with the words "I HELPED FUND INTERNATIONAL TTERRORISM" he had on baggy jeans and his black vans. (PLEASE! No one get offended, it's just a shirt!)
"Hey! Pull up a cushion and sit!" Jefferson said, turning her music back on.
Spike grabbed his Black laptop and Rivers grabbed her diary. Ginny lifted her legs for Spike to sit, than promptly dropped them in his lap. He set his computer over them and soon the compartment was filled with the sounds of Spikes fingers flying across the key board, Jeff's music, which you could still hear faintly although she wore headphones; Rivers' pen moving across the note pad and Ginny's deep breathing.
*-*-**-**-*-**-
Ginny sat strait up at the sound of someone's cell phone screeching "What the bloody hell's going on?" she asked standing up and stretching, she could feel her back pop.
"My phone! We can't find it!" Rivers said while emptying the contents of her trunk. Rolling her eyes, Ginny walked over to the jacket that Rivers had been carrying and pulled the little silver flip phone out, she tossed it to the now blushing brunette. Ginny sat next to Spike, who had resumed playing with his laptop. She could hear Rivers talking to someone in the background, so trying hard not to be nosy she struck up a conversation with Spike.
"What you working on?" she asked, putting her head on his shoulder where she could get a good view of the screen and still be comfortable.
"I'm adding a 'dumb product labels' page to my site" he said. Obviously, he was done because he turned the computer to face her better and she read what it said:
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein
Mr. Einstein had no idea how correct he was about human stupidity but, in case you actually do need to further proof that humanity is doomed threw stupidity, here's some actual label instructions on consumer goods:
1. On Sears hairdryer:
"Do not use while sleeping."
(Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair)
2. On a bag of Fritos:
"You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."
(Evidently, the shoplifter special)
3. On a bar of Dial soap:
"Directions: Use like regular soap."
(And that would be how. . . ?)
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners:
"Serving suggestions: Defrost."
(But it's *just* a suggestion)
5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box):
"Do not turn upside down."
(oops..too late)
6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
"Product will be hot after heating."
(As night follows the day . . . .)
7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body."
(But wouldn't this save even more time?)
8. On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine:
"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
9. On Nytol Sleep Aid:
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(One would hope)
10. On most brands of Christmas lights:
"For indoor or outdoor use only."
(As opposed to what?)
11. On a Japanese food processor:
"Not to be used for the other use."
(I gotta admit, I'm curious.)
12. On Sainsbury's peanuts:
"Warning: Contains nuts."
(NEWS FLASH)
13. On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: Fly Delta.)
14. On a child's Superman costume:
"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company; I blame parents for this one.)
15. On a Swedish chain saw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Was there a chance of this happening somewhere?...Good grief)
16. On a bottle of Palmolive Dishwashing liquid:
"Do not use on food."
(Hey, Mom, we're out of syrup! It's OK honey just grab the Palmolive!)
17. On a tube of Crest Toothpaste:
"If swallowed contact poison control."
(Oh please, have you ever heard about someone dying from swallowing a little toothpaste?)
18. On a bottle of ALL laundry detergent:
"Remove clothing before distributing in washing machine."
(Hey, no more swimming in the washing machine kids)
19. On a lawnmower "WARNING WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNING- THE BLADE IS TURNING!"
There were many more dumb labels that went on down the list, but Ginny was ripped away from reading the funny material when Rivers found it necessary to scream into her phone.
"WHY YOU MOTHER-FUCKIN, COCK -SUCKIN, GOOD-FOR-NOTHIN-BASTARD!" with a frustrated screech she threw her phone into her trunk.
"Tsk, tsk. I do believe that was an oxy moron." A voice drawled lazily from the door. Ginny's head snapped around, there in her doorway stood six foot four inches of muscular Slytherin sex god (a/b-insert sigh here!). His once pale skin wasn't quite as sickly looking as it once had been, actually, it looked as if he had spent a fair amount of time in the sun, not enough to make his natural silver/blonde hair look out of place, but enough to show the boy hadn't been locked in a dark room all summer. His once long, slicked back hair was now cropped short and spiked, each spike ending with a bit of metallic baby blue. He had on a pair of baggy pants and a baby blue shirt with a picture of a little cat smoking a blunt, next to it said "mellow kitty"
"O. Its only you, Malfoy." Ginny managed to get out, although not quite sure how, considering she was wondering when he had gotten so annoyingly hot.
"Malfoy" Jefferson suddenly lit up at the name. Her pink headphones were around her neck, making it possible for the rest of the occupants of the compartment to hear "I Must Not Chase the Boys" by Play. "As in the amazing bouncing ferret? Dude! You're a fuckin legend at Silver Waters!"
Rivers seemed to be thinking on whether to add on to that or not, in the end, she did. "Yeah, Gin-N-Tonic wrote her final article about you for the school newspaper, she got astounding marks on it too." Draco lifted one perfect eyebrow at this, his silvery gray eyes darting to Gin who was still leaning against Spike, looking somewhat tired, a small frown on her otherwise pixie like face.
"And you people would be?"
"O! O! I'm Jefferson Tally, better known around as Jeff. That's Rivers James, and that devilishly handsome dude over there is Spike Anthony, don't let the Comp. Fool you, that guy's no nerd! And of course you already Know Ginny-Bean." Jefferson smiled, obviously very pleased with herself.
"This is Blaise Zambini, and Pansy Parkinson." Blaise Zambini was easily just as sexy as Draco, only half an inch shorter, his hair was cut in a similar fashion to Draco's, only instead of being tipped in the light blue, his dark brown hair was tipped with red. He had a dark complexion and deep brown eyes. He looked less intimidating than Draco, but why Ginny had no idea, he was just as muscular, and he wore the famous Slytherin smirk proudly. But his eyes weren't as cold and unfeeling as Draco's silvery ones, they were warm and friendly, and focusing mainly on Jefferson.
Pansy looked to be about the same height as Rivers, who stood at a lovely 5'7. She had shoulder length dark blonde hair and dark blue eyes, and she was looking quite bored, full red lops pursed as she looked disapprovingly at the occupants already in the cabin.
"Charmed, I'm sure." she said dryly, her eyes lingered on Spike before moving on to Ginny, in her mind Pansy tried to determine whether they were friends or lovers.
"So Weasel, what did your family have to sell to get you that shirt, I know it had to be more than that thing you call a house." Draco sneered, eyeing her clothing, but before Ginny could reply in her defense, Jefferson threw a magazine at him, Ginny groaned, she remembered that Magazine. She had modeled clothes for Seventeen, she had made the front cover, Jefferson, Rivers, and Riley had modeled too.
"You're one stupid fuck, Malfoy." Jefferson said calmly, eyeing him with a strange mix of dislike and admiration. "Every guy in Silver Waters was begging Ginny to go out with him, every girl was jealous, and here you are, being the stupidest fucking ass hole in the entire fucking world insulting her! I could think of a couple of people that would just love to knock your punk ass down! My brother included!"
"Well that's just stupid. Have you met everyone in the entire world?" Draco asked, one eyebrow rose, and looked like he wanted to laugh at the pissed off blonde.
"Once again, you're a stupid mother fucker that's going to burn in hell, and if you caught on fire I wouldn't piss on your fucked up ass!"
Blaise lifted one of his dark eyebrows, "You kiss your mum with that mouth?" he asked.
"I do a lot more than kiss my mother with this mouth." Jefferson said with a wink, Blaise's cheeks tinged pink, but he didn't comment. Jefferson pulled her headphones back on to her head, winked at Ginny and turned back to her window.
"Come on you bloody wankers, we have a whole quarter of a train to tell to get into their robes." Pansy said smiling at the two boys. Draco growled but did as the blonde told him. "And you four might want to change too, and try to keep your mate there from getting herself pummeled the first day." With that, she was gone.
"Did she just imply that we mated With Jeff?" Rivers asked, looking quite disgusted at the idea. Ginny laughed.
"It's another word for friend, Rivs, don't worry no ones accusing you of being less than straight."
