Chapter 4: Thoughts
"Nothings ever what it seems
in your life or in your dreams
it doesn't make sense what can you do
so I wont try making sense of you"
'Love Just Is', Hilary Duff
Mrs Weasley was cooking dinner, when she saw Dumbledore appear in her fireplace.
"Hello, Albus, is there anything wrong?"she asked.
"Not at all, Molly,"Dumbledore said. "I do have wonderful news to report, though."
"What is it?"
"Young Ginny Weasley is at Hogwarts,"Dumbledore replied.
Molly could have screamed in joy. Her daughter was alive and well, and at Hogwarts! Now, the next question was:
"What house is she in? Who are her friends?"she asked hurriedly.
"Calm down, Molly,"Dumbledore chuckled. "You may not like to hear this…but Ginny has been sorted into Slytherin and has made friends with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Miya Mirror and Marcus Flint."
"Ginny…in Slytherin?"Mrs Weasley asked.
"The Sorting Hat told me of her days in the orphanage…and they are not pleasant ones, Molly,"Dumbledore said grimly. "She was beaten and abused daily, and ignored. The only time she ever really had any friends was when she arrived at Platform 9 and 3/4. If I am not mistaken, I think she has a good friendship with young Mr Malfoy."
"Are you sure, Dumbledore? I mean, the Malfoy family…"
"Young Mr Malfoy isn't at all like the rest of his family, Molly. He does not wish to become a deatheater like his parents are,"Dumbledore explained to her.
"What about the rest of her friends? Wait…did you say she is friends with Ron?"
"Yes,"Dumbledore said. "He was her first friend, if I am not mistaken. He helped her onto the platform. She was the girl you met at the gate if I remember."
"That girl…that, small one, was my daughter?"
"Yes."
"But she looked really thin, it was almost as if you could see her bones,"Mrs Weasley said.
"She had a good feed at Hogwarts during the feast, and she is all ready feeling at home there,"Dumbledore said. "But…Professor Snape, her head of house, gave me some interesting and concerning news."
"Is Ginny okay?"she whispered.
"She has just woken up from a nightmare, and two of our students known as Millicent Bullstrode and Pansy Parkinson were standing above her with a knife,"Dumbledore replied, making Molly's eyes widen in fright. "She was not harmed, and ran into the Slytherin boys dormitory as fast as possible. She will be sleeping there with her friends tonight."
"When can we m-meet her, headmaster? I want to see my daughter as soon as possible,"Mrs Weasley asked.
"I believe you can see her tomorrow after her classes,"Dumbledore replied.
"Thank you, headmaster, for bringing this to me,"Mrs Weasley said.
"You are welcome, Molly. Good day."
-(Slytherin Boys Dormitory)-
Ginny and the rest of the boys were quiet in the dormitory. The headmaster had just come in to tell Ginny that she would be seeing her mother tomorrow after her classes ended. Ginny knew who her mother was, but, with her mother knowing who she was and knowing practically everything…it would be hard to come out to tell her everything that happened throughout her life. There was so much. At the orphanage, she was ignored, and when not ignored, was told to do chores and abused a lot of the time. She was afraid that when she arrived here, it would be the same. But it seems like that is not the case. She all ready made a lot of friends. Two enemies, but more friends. Her friends were Draco, Blaise, Marcus, Crabbe, Goyle, and Miya. Those were her friends in Slytherin. Harry, Ron and Hermione were her friends in Gryffindor. Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bullstrode were her enemies, and probably will be until death, knowing their attitudes. Tonight she was in the Boys dormitory because they thought it was best, seeing as how she was almost killed after waking up from a nightmare. Coincidence, isn't it? Of course, Miya Mirror, a new Slytherin and Ginny's friend, had also volunteered to stay with her, but she reasurred her that she would be fine and at the feast tomorrow morning and not to worry.
For some reason, Ginny couldn't get to sleep, even though she was tired. The blond beside her was all ready asleep with an arm draped around her waist, but she couldn't even close her eyes. Tired, yes. Excited, even more so. She had a home, where people respected her, and wanted to be friends with her. This is what she wanted her entire life. She had it…and soon she'd have a family. What more could one ask for?
Finally, after about two hours consisting of nothing but thoughts, she fell asleep.
-(Morning)-
When Ginny woke up, everyone in the Boys dorm had all ready left for the feast. She had slept in a little late. She heard a shout from down in the common room.
"Ginny, hurry up! The feast starts soon!"she couldn't mistake it, it was Miya Mirror's voice. "Come on! I wanna see who the new D.A.D.A teacher is!"
Ginny sighed and got up. After getting quickly dressed and washed, she walked to the common room and walked over to Miya. "Sorry. Slept in."
"Well, no wonder, if I was almost killed with a knife I would have too,"Miya remarked.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Why is there a new D.A.D.A teacher?"
"They have one every year,"Miya replied. They were on their way to the Great Hall. "Everyone says the class is jinxed, because nobody lasts longer than a year when teaching the class."
"Oh, isn't that kind of weird, though?"Ginny asked.
"In some sense, I suppose,"Miya replied. She looked at two large doors in front of her. "We're here."
They opened the doors and walked over to the Slytherin table. After Miya and Ginny were greeted by everyone there, she looked over at the Gryffindor table. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and two redheaded twins were waving at her. She waved back. She had a feeling the twins were more brothers. She had a feeling they were up to something as well, and she could only tell that because of the evil glint in their eyes and the mischievious grin on their faces. Of course, they always looked like that.
Ginny just groaned inwardly when she remembered. Double Divination today. Oh, well. At least it's with the Gryffindors. It might not be that bad, she thought. She had heard comments about Sybill Trelawney, the Divination teacher, none were positive comments. They were bashing comments, negative comments. Nobody seemed to like her. Not even the first years. Amusing. She'd have to find out for herself.
A tap at a goblet at the staff table was heard, and Dumbledore stood up. The houses were silent, wondering what morning message he had to say.
"Good morning, everyone,"he began. "Welcome to Hogwarts, to the first years. I hoped everyone enjoyed their first day back here. I have three new teachers to introduce you to. Your new Ancient Runes teacher, is Bill Weasley!"
Everyone clapped when their teacher stood up. Ginny grinned as she clapped. Another brother. He waved when he saw her, and she waved back.
"Our new Arithmancy teacher, Alyssa Adrienne."
A woman with long blond hair and brown eyes wearing Hogwarts robes stood up as everyone clapped. She sat back down and everyone continued.
"And last but not least, our new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher (that is long to type, so from now on, it is D.A.D.A), Remus Lupin."
Everyone clapped as he stood up. Dumbledore continued.
"Now, I must warn first years, that the Forbidden Forest is strickly forbidden to all students, which is why it is called 'The Forbidden Forest', and I wish you all to have a good term!"
The feast began as quickly as it ended, and Ginny and Miya were off to Double Divination.
-(Divination Class, 9a.m., Trelawney's Classroom)-
During Divination, Ginny had to agree with everyone. It was the most boring subject ever. Along with History of Magic. Both teachers droned on about things, and she slept throughout the classes. She learned more history in a day than in that class. And Divination, she thought she could be a better seer than Trelawney any day, if she was one. She heard Miya groan beside her and couldn't help but laugh. Miya must have heard the comments too, Ginny thought to herself.
On the way out of the classroom, she saw Ron and Harry. She walked over to them silently. "Hi, guys."
Ron jumped and Harry turned. He gave Ginny a hug. "Don't do that!"Ron exclaimed.
Ginny giggled.
"Hey, Ginny,"Harry greeted. "Sorry about Ron here, he's just being a sourpuss."
"…Whatever,"Ron said. He instantly changed the subject. "How is Malfoy treating you?"
"Just fine, Ron,"Ginny replied, trying to hide her blush. Harry noticed it and chuckled.
"Any other friends?"Harry asked. Ginny was thankful he had changed the subject from something other than Draco. Ron was a bit possessive of her when it came to him.
"The new girl Miya, Crabbe, Goyle, Marcus and Blaise,"she replied, then giggled. "Blaise is an idiot, though."
"How?"Ron asked. They were now walking out of the Divination area and onto their next class. Herbology.
"He tried to hit on me at least twice,"she giggled, trying to hold back her laughter, but failing immensley.
"That doesn't bother you?"Harry asked. Ron was fuming.
"Not really, boys at the orphanage did it daily, I've learned to deal with it,"Ginny replied, giggling at Ron's anger. "It's nothing to be mad about, Ron. I am used to it. I lived that way for eleven years."
"I don't care, that doesn't give him the right,"Ron stated.
"What are you, Minister of Magic?"Ginny asked. Harry laughed. "He can make his own choices. It's obvious he likes me."
"Only for a shag, Ginny!"Ron exclaimed.
Ginny and Harry rolled their eyes. Besides, she all ready liked someone else.
"Oh Ron, can you see clearly that I'm not interested in him?"Ginny asked.
"Yes, but with Blaise around you all the time, I cannot take chances."
"I'll see you later, Ginny!"they heard Miya call from behind them. "I gotta go to History of Magic!"
"Bye, Miya!"Ginny called back.
Then after Miya came out behind her were Millicent and Pansy. She glared at them, and they glared right back. She heard names that were unmistakably "whore" and "bitch" before they walked away. It seemed Ron and Harry heard them too. They went red with anger.
Harry suddenly seemed startled at Ginny's lack of…caring in the insults. "Don't tell me, you're used to that as well?"
Ron's eyes widened and looked at her, who nodded.
"That's the last time anyone insults my sister,"Ginny thought she heard Ron say through gritted teeth, for he was walking towards Pansy and Millicent, yelling incoherent things at them, well, from her point of view.
"Hiya, Ginny!"she heard the unmistakable voice of Blaise Zabini calling to her. She turned and he had come out with Draco. He hugged her, unaware that Ron was watching the scene.
"Hey, I'll meet you at the lunch feast, ok?"Draco whispered to Ginny, who nodded.
Suddenly, a scream was heard and Ron was sent to the floor. Pansy and Millicent were laughing their heads off, walking out of sight. Ginny and Harry ran over to him and sat on either side of him.
"What happened, Ron?"Ginny asked.
"They hexed me,"Ron said through clenched teeth. "Dammit, they hexed me."
"Any particular curse?"Harry asked in concern.
Ron nodded, suddenly feeling immense pain. "C-Crucatius…"
Harry and Ginny gasped, unnoticed by Ron, who had passed out before he heard Bill Weasley running over to them.
"Ron!"

shinywriterindarkness: Lol! Your review had me laughing. Thanks.

Bloody Corsets: Really? I have her in character? Thanks!
Bungle-In-The-Jungle: Yep, they do. Thanks for the review! I actually like replying to reviews when they have more than one word. (sweatdrop)
Authors Notes:
A/N: Thank you to all! I hope I made this chapter long enough. I took four minutes off my show to finish it for you. You should thank me!
A/N 2: I gave you a cliffhanger, just like I did in the last two or three chapters. Do you think Bill is a good choice for Ancient Runes? I don't really know what it is about but I'm thinking ancient knowledge and stuff, and since Bill WAS in Egypt, I thought it would be good, even though he WAS with Gringotts. My only other choice was Mr Weasley. XD Please review and tell me if the characters are...well, in character! Somebody told me Ginny was and thanks for that! And the songs may not fit, but I like them!
