Chapter 1: Misunderstandings

"I want you." He said to her.

"Why me?" She asked, turning her scarred face away from him.

"Because you are my heart, my soul, my pride, my glory; everything that I live for."

Ginny Weasley tore the page out of her favourite romance novel, A Tainted Love.

"This is bloody trash!" She muttered angrily as she continued to rip the page up. "There is no such thing on earth as true love." She stated, spitting the words out as if it was venom. She did not know exactly why she was so angry, maybe it was seeing Harry Potter not even glance at her once for the pass six years. Or maybe it was seeing Harry Potter have a different girlfriend each week and it never being her. She didn't know, but all she knew was that she'd given up on love. No more love for Ginerva Weasley.

"Ginny-y-y-y-y!" Hermione called from outside her door, rapping on it brutally.

"Yes, Hermione?" Ginny asked, careful to sound normal with her voice.

"Ginny! Hurry up! We're gonna to miss breakfast!" She called from outside. "Are you even dressed yet?"

"Uh…yes!" Ginny replied quickly, rushing to slip her robe on.

"Quickly then! Do your hair! Remember the spell I taught you?" Hermione asked.

"Uh…yes!" Ginny answered. "Of course!" She added to make it seem true.

"Oh dear, what was it again?" Ginny murmured under her breath. "Ah well, I'll just brush it the muggle way." She added after not being able to recall the spell.

"Ginny, I don't want to be late! I was hoping I'd be able to check a book out on herbology at the end of breakfast!" Hermione complained.

Sighing, Ginny threw open the door and left without even looking in the mirror.

"Bloody hell, Ginny, what did you do to your hair!" Hermione asked, terrified.

"Um…I brushed it…" Ginny nervously told her.

"Brushed it?" Hermione asked incredulous. "Did you not use the spell?"

"No…." Ginny answered, trailing off.

Sometimes, Hermione was just to scratchy about things, like once, Ginny accidentally spilled a drop of ink on Hermione's homework, and Hermione had Ginny write it all again in a night, using Hermione's writing! A drop! And now here she was, complaining about Ginny's hair.

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Hermione, who cares! I've no one to impress!"

"I don't care! You can not walk into the great hall like that!" Hermione argued.

"I will do just that, and you can't stop me!" Ginny boldly stated, running down the stairs of the girl's dormitories so fast that she collided right into Colin Creevey, her best friend.

"Whoa!" Ginny shouted, as she lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs to the Gryffindor Common Room, pulling Colin down with her.

"Ginny-y-y-y-y-y!" Colin yelled, as he stumbled onto the floor beside Ginny.

"Ug…" Ginny groaned, laying flat on the ground.

"Here," Colin said, reaching his hand to help Ginny up.

"Thanks, Colin." She said smiling, as she was pulled to her feet.

"Let's go to breakfast, I'll walk you." Colin offered.

"Sure," Ginny said, taking Colin's hand.

"Did you see that!" Parvati asked them the moment they sat down.

"See what?" Colin asked.

"Draco Malfoy just asked Amber Friermen out!" Parvati exclaimed.

"A Slytherine and a Gryffindor?" Ginny asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Whoa, weird!" Colin added.

"The whole school is talking about it!" Parvati gushed. "Maybe he'll ask me out too!"

Ginny couldn't help but roll her eyes. That girl was pathetic, who would want a Slytherine for a boyfriend, let alone a Malfoy.

"Um…Ginny, what happened to your hair?" Parvati whispered as Ginny was reaching for some toast.

"Um…well…." Ginny started, she couldn't tell people that she brushed it like a muggle!

"Bad hair day." Colin cut in, saving Ginny from answering.

"I see. Well, I'll fix it for you in the restroom later, ok?"

Ginny nodded to Parvati and whispered a thanks to Colin.

Sighing, she started to put a bit of each food onto her plate.

"On second thought, we better fix your hair now!" Parvati whispered, pulling Ginny to the restroom and out of the great hall.

"Ok, Ginny, I'll use the spell Hermione taught me-" Parvati started once they were in the restroom.

"NO! Not the spell Hermione taught! Another! There must be another!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Ok, but I must warn you, I didn't quite get the hang of the only other hair fixing spell I know, so if it messes up…" Parvati warned.

"Don't worry, my hair is bad as it is," Ginny said, looking in the mirror at her knotted, dry, frizzy hair. "It can't possibly get worst."

"Ok, close your eyes." Parvati instructed. Ginny did so.

Gulping, Parvati performed the spell and Ginny felt her hair untangle itself and come down into soft curls at the ends.

"Um…Ginny? I don't know if you want to open your eyes, but uh…" Parvati told her, her voice trembling.

Sucking in her breath, Ginny opened her eyes and looked into the mirror.

Ginny gasped, paralysed in shock and fear. Her hair was dirty blond! Not a single red hair in sight. Ron was going to skin her alive!

"Parvati!" She screamed frantically. "Undo it!"

"Uh…I can't…" Parvati blurted, looking apologetic.

"What!" Ginny wailed.

"I better get to breakfast, uh…bye!" Parvati said as she fled the room.

"I'm not going out! I'll stay her 'til the spell wears off…" Ginny stubbornly muttered, sitting with her back against a wall.

Ginny didn't know how long she stayed in the restroom, but after a while, she heard someone banging at the door.

"Ginny-y-y-y-y!" Colin shouted. "Come out Ginny! I'm sure it's not that bad!"

"It's bloody horrific!" Ginny shouted.

"Com'on Gin," Colin comforted. "Come out! The hallway's empty! And, I'll still take pictures of you no matter what your hair looks like!"

At that, Ginny had to laugh.

"See? It's ok, just come out! Or Snape is going to kill us! We have Potions!" Colin cooed.

Sighing and biting her lip, Ginny thought it over. "Alright."

She slowly opened the door and went outside.

When Colin saw Ginny, she could've sworn that his eyes popped out.

"Wow, Parvati was right for once, you do look different!" Colin exclaimed, recovering from the shock.

"Mhmm…" Ginny said, shrugging as they walked to their next class. "Ron's going to kill me."

"Don't worry, I'll back you up, and then there's always Parvati, the suspect." Colin said.

Ginny smiled.

"And besides, you look hot! More grown up!" Colin commented.

Ginny rolled her eyes and smiled. "Thanks, Colin. I'm sure Ron will think differently."

"Or, you could get Hermione to undo the spell, since she's in seventh year, I'm sure she can."

"No, we're on non speaking terms ever since this morning." Ginny firmly stated.

"I see." Colin said. "Well, don't worry about it, 'cause as I said before, it looks bloody brilliant!"

"What in the bloody name of God did you do to your hair, Ginerva Weasley?" Ronald Weasley exclaimed once Ginny and Colin entered the great hall for lunch.

"Ron! Calm down!" Hermione scolded, pushing him back into his seat to avoid drawing attention. But it was too late, everyone in the great hall had stopped eating and was starring at Ginny and Ron.

"You better explain yourself, Ginerva!" Ron shouted, enraged.

"Well, I was having a bad hair day today, and Parvati wanted to help me fix it with a spell, but the spell didn't work and it turned like this." Ginny recited.

"Ginerva! Do not lie to your older brother!" Ron yelled.

"I'm not lying." Ginny calmly told Ron. "Even ask Colin and Parvati!"

"It is true, Ron, Ginny is telling the truth." Colin said.

"Yeah, what he said." Parvati said.

Ron took a deep breath to try and calm the anger bubbling in him down, but it didn't help, his face was as red as his hair.

"Hermione! Tell her to tell the truth!" Ron gruffly said.

"Ginny, we're not buying your story!" Hermione stated, in her usual professional tone.

"But I am not lying! I mean, I even have Colin and Parvati as witnesses!" Ginny argued as Colin and Parvati nodded in agreement.

"Your friends are just covering up for you!" Ron shouted, his gaze becoming cold. "Harry! You try and make them tell the truth!"

"Ginny, your story is not believable! At least make up a better tale!" Harry tried.

This time, Ginny could not contain her anger.

"Ronald Weasley! If you do not believe me then there is nothing more I can do or to say! Go believe what you wanna believe! That I dyed my hair! See if I care!" Ginny fired.

"Just wait till I tell Moth-" Ron started.

"I don't care if you tell Mother! She'll believe me! Unlike some people!" Ginny spit out, glaring at the dream team.

"And you, Hermione Granger have no right to tell me what to do! You are not my sister-in-law! You're not married to my brother, though you wish to!" Ginny yelled, pointing her finger at Hermione.

"And you, Harry Potter! Don't tell me what to do! For all I know, you don't give a damn about me! So stop acting like you do!" Ginny shouted, before stomping out of the great hall.

This just made Ron's insides explode with anger. "How dare she!" He said.

At the departure of Ginny, the great hall roared with applauses! Especially from the Slytherine table, it was the show of their life, seeing a Gryffindor argue with the dream team.

"I can not believe that they wouldn't believe me!" Ginny huffily said to Colin in the hallway as tears spilled from her eyes and onto Colin's shoulder.

"It's ok, Gin, I believe you." Colin comforted.

"Awwww," Ginny muffled into Colin's shoulder. "I love you."

Ginny didn't notice, but Colin hugged her tighter after hearing her words.

"I'll never have a friend better than you." Ginny stifled.

At that, Colin's body stiffened, not that Ginny noticed.

"Me too." Colin said back.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Creevey and his girlfriend…" A cold voice said.

Colin turned to see Draco Malfoy standing in the hallway with Ginny's head still buried in his shoulder.

"What's wrong, Creevey? Did I ruin your make-out session with her?" Malfoy chuckled coldly.

"Get lost, Malfoy!" Colin shouted. "And she's not my girlfriend!"

"Ah, but you want her to be! And she doesn't like you more than a friend!" Draco coldly stated.

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Colin said, trying to remain calm.

"Make me Creevey, make me." Malfoy challenged.

"I think, I will!" Colin said between gritted teeth, parting from Ginny and walking towards Malfoy.

"You can't do nothing, Creevey!" Malfoy said.

"We'll just see, won't we?" Colin retorted.

"Oh, please, stop trying to act all manly in front of your girlfriend!" Draco smartly said.

At that, Colin responded by colliding his fist against Draco's nose.

Draco reacted by giving Colin a blow on his jaw.

And that was exactly how Colin Creevey and Draco Malfoy started to fight their battle of life and death.

Seeing this, the terrified Ginny stepped away from the wall and right in between them.

"Stop it!" She yelled. Colin, seeing Ginny in between them immediately stopped to prevent her from getting injured. Yet Malfoy on the other hand striked her right over the head, causing her to faint into his arms.

"Malfoy! Let go of her!" Colin shouted, seeing Ginny unconscious in his hands.

"With pleasure." Malfoy smirked his signature smirk and dropped the lifeless Ginny from his arms.

"No! You prat!" Colin exclaimed, as Ginny made her fall to the ground.

"Gotcha!" Malfoy smirked again as he caught Ginny right before she hit the marble floor.

"Com'on! Give her to me! I must bring her to the hospital wing!" Colin said, outreaching his arms.

"I don't know so. If you bring her to Madame Pomfrey, then she'll know that there was a little….misunderstanding between us." Malfoy recited.

"Then, what do you suppose we do?" Colin glared at Malfoy.

"Hm…" Malfoy said, pretending to think. "I'll bring her to the Slytherine Common Room and you'll keep your mouth shut, or I'll see that my father gets rid of the…evidence." Malfoy concluded.

"No way. I'm not letting you bring her to the Slytherine Common Room. How do I know you won't do anything to her! And besides, it'll be suspicious that you're carrying a body around." Colin argued, worried.

"What an idiot you are, Creevey. I'm in seventh year, I can apparate." Malfoy cleverly retorted. "Then, that's what we'll do, after I make sure she's awake again, I'll send her off." Malfoy finished.

"What! No." Colin firmly stated.

"Yes, and you better keep your mouth shut about her being gone and with me, or she'll never see the daylight again. You know I don't kid about these things, Creevey! She's sick, in the Gryffindor Common Room resting." Malfoy ended, and disappeared.

This is just my first fan fic, but still give me LOTS of constructive critism and tell me what you think. And, i don't know a lot about Harry Potter, so if something's wrong or doesn't make sense, PLEASE let me know! R&R! Cheers; )
