I'm really sorry that I didn't thank the reviewers of the first chapter! So the reviewers from the first chapter are Rubber-duckiesofdoom, Pussin Boots, Schatje, Emma333, and clumsyfaery. Thank you so much for reviewing!
And thanks to the reviewers of my last chapter!
Pussin Boots: Ron is not freaking out because he doesn't know yet, which I think I explain in this chapter. Hopefully.
Emma333: Hi Maddy. Thanks for reviewing. Thanks for the compliments about my story too.
Rubber-duckiesofdoom: THIS IS NOT A FANFIC WHERE GINNY FALLS IN LOVE WITH MALFOY! I hate stories like that.
Disclaimer: I had a dream that it was all mine. But, sadly, that dream is not reality and I am very pissed off about that. Because reality sucks!
On with the story!
"Very funny, Hermione."
"I'm serious! The Ministry is forcing you to marry Malfoy!"
No, they're not. They can't.
Who am I kidding? They can and they will.
The Ministry is way too powerful.
We should have that thing that Hermione once said the United States has. According to her, the U.S. has a way to make sure that the goverment doesn't become too powerful.
The Ministry needs that. Whatever it is.
Americans are so lucky.
"What are you talking about, Ginny?" asked Hermione.
Damn. I think I said that last part out loud.
"Don't swear, Ginny."
I have got to stop thinking out loud.
Hermione looked like she was going to laugh. Which I don't get. What's so funny?
"You're right, Ginny. You have to stop thinking out loud."
Damn. I did it again.
"What were you saying about the Americans?" Hermione asked.
"They are so lucky. Their goverment can't force them to marry the spawn of Satan."
Lucky me. Ron picked that moment to walk pass the room.
"Who's being forced to marry Snape?"
"Ron, Snape is Satan," I said. "We're talking about his illegitimate son, Draco Malfoy."
"What makes you think Malfoy is Snape's illegitimate son?" Hermione asked, raising an eyebrow.
I just realized that Hermione asks way too many questions. Questions that I don't have an answer for.
"Um. Malfoy looks nothing like his dad?" I said.
"Ginny, Malfoy looks exactly like his dad," Hermione said.
Dammit.
"Well, Snape is Satan. And Malfoy is the spawn of Satan. So, Malfoy has to be Snape's son!"
"Ginny, even I can tell how stupid that is," Ron said.
Bloody hell. Hermione did something to Ron. Because that's the first time he has ever insulted himself.
Or maybe he's just so stupid that he didn't realize that he said that.
"Look who's talking, Ginny."
Damn. I was thinking out loud again.
"Ginny, don't swear."
I have got to stop doing that.
"Yes, you do," said Ron.
Damn. Double damn. Is there even such a thing as a double damn?
"So, anyway, who's being forced to marry Malfoy?" Ron asked.
"You didn't tell him?" I asked Hermione.
"Well, it seemed like a good idea to tell you first. Because when he finds out..."
We all know what will happen. Ron will freak and tell all my brothers. All six of them will then threaten Malfoy with disembowlment. And then, Malfoy will find a bride with less overprotective relatives.
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
"Hermione, how do you even know this stuff?" I asked.
"Well, I woke up at four..."
Why would anyone wake up at such an ungodly hour? I mean, Voldemort could attack at four in the morning and I would sleep right through it.
"...Because I heard something at the window. It was an owl from the Ministry."
I would have ignored it and went back to sleep.
Hermione handed me a letter.
Ron stood there, staring at us, his brain working hard to figure out what was going on.
I always knew he was a bit slow.
I don't want to read the letter.
I guess I have to.
Dear Miss Ginerva Molly Weasley,
They used my full name. How could they? Don't they know how much I hate that name?
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to marry His Royal Highness, Prince Draco Lucius Malfoy. However, the marriage will only take place if His Royal Highness, Prince Draco Lucius Malfoy can not find another bride.
Why do they keep saying his full title over and over? We heard it once, we don't need to hear it again! And when did that whole 'His Royal Highness' crap ever seem like a good idea? And it's so repetative. His Royal Highness this, His Royal Highness that. When are they going to learn that I don't care?
The next time I see Malfoy, I fully intend to call him 'Ferret Face' just to mess with their heads.
'His Royal Highness, the amazing bouncing ferret' would be good, too.
His Royal Highness, Prince Draco Lucius Malfoy and His Royal Highness, Heir to the Throne, Prince Harry James Potter are holding a ball this evening.
Wait. What throne? Why didn't anybody tell me Harry is going to be king?
WHY DO WE EVEN NEED A KING?
You are required to attend the ball.
I'm required to attend the ball? This sucks.
Sincerly,
Rufus Scrimgeour
Minister of Magic
Hey, that's only one person. Why does the letter say 'we'. Scrimgeour thinks too highly of himself, if you ask me.
Oh well, I have more important things to worry about.
Like how to get Malfoy to fall in love with someone at a ball tonight.
Like where to get a dress for said ball.
Like why wishing on a star ever seemed like a good idea to me.
Well, in my world, solving everyday problems is easy. Because I have one simple rule that I live by.
When in doubt, ask Hermione.
True, this isn't an everyday problem. But, Hermione will know what to do.
Won't she?
Only one way to find out.
"Hermione, what do I do now?"
"Well, you have four opinions. You can elope with someone right now, get Malfoy to fall in love with someone else, act so replusive that Malfoy picks someone just so that he won't have to marry you, or marry Malfoy."
Ron finally understood what we were talkng about.
I'm not going to tell you what happened next. But, let's just say that it wasn't pretty.
And I thought I swore a lot.
When we got Ron calmed down, I decided to go up to my room and take a nap.
But, when I got there, someone else was sitting on my bed.
Two people, in fact.
Lily and James Potter.
PLEASE REVIEW!
Reviews will help me update quicker.
Oh, a few things before I go.
-I don't think Malfoy's middle name is actually Lucius. I just picked it because it's his dad's name. And the name Lucius comes from the name Lucifer. Lucifer is another name for the Devil. So, Malfoy's middle name being Lucius would support my whole spawn of Satan thing.
-Ginny is not crazy. Lily and James Potter are actually there. They're just not alive.
-THIS IS A HARRY/GINNY FANFIC!
Please review!
-Jessi
