"First years, this way. First years follow me." Hagrid's voice boomed through the station.
Just like every year! Always the same shit different year! Ok, ok so maybe not every year is the same, no… never the same at all; but the train ride is always the same… always. First it starts with Mum telling me that I need to sit with Ron and Harry, so someone can look out for me. Honestly! I'm sixteen years old! I don't need protection! I'm the top of my class, Defense against the Dark Arts, Charms and surprisingly enough Potions are my top classes. Dumbledore has offered me to move up a year, though no one knows that, and have been told by most of the teachers that I'd probably be able to out score Hermione's OWL's, but no… poor little Ginny, she needs to be looked out for blah, blah, blah.
"Ginny, come along. We're going to miss the carriages if you don't move your bloody feet." Ron shouted, not four feet in front of her. Ron… oh how I despise him when he tries and protects me! He's honestly the smartest dumb person I know. Right below him is his best friend in the entire world, and of course the hero of the world, Harry bloody Potter. Oh.. He's just as bad. That boy was denser than a bloody eight-foot thick wall! And then there's the smartest dumb person ever to be known at Hogwarts to date, Hermione Granger. The most oblivious person I know! Ron's been pinning over that one for years, and she doesn't even know it. Oh well, not my problem, but when you have to sit with them the whole train ride to Hogwarts it gets old FAST! And I-
"Gin, we really need to find an empty carriage it looks like we'll have to take one of the back ones." Hermione stated.
"We could have had one of the first ones if you'd walked faster Ginny, but noooo you had to bloody walk slow!" Ron grumbled. And I'm bloody tired of being the forth-bloody wheel in their three-person show!
"Honestly Ron, I'm not three steps behind you! It's not like I was in front of you slowing you down! Are you afraid I'll get lost from here to Hogwarts if you'd left me? I've only been going to this school for six bloody years, or have you forgotten that I'm only a year younger than you?" Oh! I bet the stupid wanker isn't going to answer but Harry-
"Don't get your knickers in a twist, Gin. We just wanted to make sure we didn't have to go looking for-" Harry was cut off by Ginny punching him in the jaw, with a well aimed right hook, complements of Charlie. He believed, with me living in a house full of boys, I should be able to defend myself.
"I'm, not in the need of people looking for me, Harry." Ginny said is a cold whisper. "I don't need protecting, nor saving, so go find someone else to 'save.' Because I don't need it." Wheeling around to face her brother, Ginny continued is her cold voice, "And you Ronald Bielus Weasley, will be backing off as well. Unless you want to be on the receiving end of my wand!" With her piece said Ginny turned and started walking in the direction of Hogwarts, but was stopped by a hand on her arm holding her back.
"Ginny, they didn't mean anything by it. You know how they are. And where are you going? All those carriages are full. Come on you can sit with us-"
"No Hermione. I wont be sitting with you. Let me be Hermione before I hit you too."
Stunned by Ginny's words, Hermione dropped her hand and watched as Ginny started to walk away from the carriages.
"Hermione? Where's she going?" Ron asked, from one of the back carriages.
"For a walk, let her be."
Stupid idiots! Why can't the see that I'm not a little girl anymore? That I actually can take care of myself, that I don't need them? Whatever, I don't need their drama! Wow, ok I have defiantly been talking to Alexia too much! Four years ago, Ginny met Alexia on the family trip to Egypt. Alexia's family was vacationing there as well, and the girl's instantly connected. Alexia's family lives in America, and she goes to school at Salem School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. They would owl each other during the school year, and during the summer spend a month at each other's homes. Though Ginny's mother didn't like her little girl going so far away, she couldn't stand in the way of Ginny's happiness.
Ginny walked for a few more minutes until finally she just stopped. Ok, I'm tired of walking… I wonder if Cayla is around…
Flashback
In Ginny's third year
Looking around, trying to find a single blade of grass out of place making sure her brother and his friends weren't following her, but finding no evidence that they were about. Ginny entered to Forbidden Forest. Ever since her first year, Ginny would go to the forest to get away, but not just the forest to a clearing not far from the edge. There is a single tree that grows in the exact middle of the fifty-foot clearing. The tree it self seems to hold a power, for there are no weeds, shrubs, or any other kind of vegetation in the clearing, except for very lush green grass. Many times, she tried to find what kind of tree it was, but never had she found the origin.
As she settled down at the base of the tree, Ginny pulled out her homework and started to work on it. The grove was a good place to work on her homework, because the common room was always too loud, and the library too full. Half way through her Transfiguration scrolls, Ginny heard branches being broken, and something or someone quickly moving towards her. Gathering her books and scrolls up quickly; she climbed the tree until the abundant green leaves covered her. As the step falls became louder, and closer, Ginny tried to see who or what was coming. Expecting her brother, or maybe a Hagrid to come through the surrounding forest, Ginny was shocked to see a unicorn stagger into the clearing, falling close to the tree. As she focused more clearly on the animal, she could make out blood pooling around its shoulder.
Making a quick decision, Ginny started to climb down the tree, branch by branch, when she was about to jump down the last branch, the unicorn let out a loud screech making Ginny pause. That paused probably saved her life, because where Ginny would have been, a gapping hole know was burned into the tree. Soon shouts were heard. Not knowing what to do, and unwilling to leave the poor animal who saved her life, Ginny jumped down by the unicorn and started to heal the wounds. As the shouting got louder, Ginny started to hear what was being said, "Unicorn…hit…got…way."
With the wounds almost healed Ginny started to panic, because the voices where growing closer with each second that passed. Think Ginny, think! How can you hide yourself, and this beautiful animal? How can you cover yourself… cover, cloaking! Ginny stopped healing the unicorn and focused all her energy on cloaking both herself and the unicorn. Ginny learned long ago that if she focused hard enough she could cloak her presence, but after she did it left her drained.
"I know I hit the Unicorn, I swear it! It got away; it has to be this way! It couldn't have gotten far." Three figures came though the clearing; Ginny held her breath, hoping and praying the cloak covered! As the men walked around the clearing, seeing no evidence of the unicorn, nor did they know of Ginny. "You will pay for your importance Wormtail, the unicorn isn't here, and it doesn't look like it ever came this way! The Master will be most displeased when he finds out." "No, p-please L-Lucius it is here, it must have turned somewhere along the way." "You're out of time, the Master is calling."
When the three figures started towards the Hogsmead. When she was sure that they wouldn't be coming back, Ginny let the cloak down, fully drained. The unicorn was almost fully healed but Ginny could still see that there was still so deep healing that needed to be done. With the last ounce of energy she had, she finished healing the animal. Once she was finished she put her wand in her pocket and passed out.
About two hours later, Ginny woke up with dark green eyes staring down at her. Ginny blinked, and the eyes where no longer looking down at her but standing a few feet away. Slowly she recalled the three men coming into the clearing to get the injured unicorn. Slowly sitting up Ginny looked at the unicorn, warily she reached out a tentative hand hoping the unicorn would come closer. When the unicorn saw her lift her hand, reaching out towards it, the unicorn walked up to the young girl and butted her hand with its nose.
Smiling Ginny pat the unicorn's nose, slowly making her way down its neck as she stood. When she was fully standing, she looked back into its dark green eyes, and felt a pull. She felt like she was falling into a never ending pit, and it scared her, but she was unable to look away. She had a feeling that the unicorn was trying to look through her, trying to find the back of her head, when her eyes started to burn the strangest sensation started to take over. Her mind seemed to still, then start again. Finally the unicorn blinked and Ginny was able to tear her eyes away. Blinking a few times, her eyes finally quit burning.
I'm sorry that it took so long, but your brain has many barriers to over come.
Ginny jumped, scared of the voice in her head.
Don't be scared. I only wished to thank you for saving my life. You didn't have to heal me, further more you didn't need to cloak me, but I thank you deeply. It isn't often that a unicorn gives this gift to humans. I believe you are actually the fourth person to ever receive this honor.
"I couldn't leave you, especially after you saved me. We're even ok. And shat did you do to me? How is it that I can hear you and understand?"
I gave you the gift to understand unicorns. We speak telepathically, and I opened your mind to ours. We have many different levels, one that we can speak with anyone; the second is one we speak to our families with. The third is one we speak with to those who we have chosen, you are on that link, only I will hear you if you call. There is also a fourth level; on in which talk to our chosen mate. As I said you are only one of four that have been given this honor, and for what you did I believe you earned it.
"I didn't do that much. I would have done what any decent person would have. But I thank you for such a wonderful gift. My name is Ginevra Molly Bella Weasley; sorry I forgot to introduce myself. What is your name? Do you have a name?"
Yes, I do, many call me Cayla. I must go now, Ginevra, before any begin to worry. I am always around if you shall have a need.
"Good bye Cayla, can I call to you the next time I come to this clearing?"
Yes. I would enjoy that.
End of Flashback
Ever since that day, Ginny and Cayla had visited at lease once a week. Opening her mind Ginny called for Cayla, Are you anywhere need the pathway leading to Hogwarts?
I can be, but why aren't you in the carriages? Aren't you supposed to ride back in those?
Well… yes Ginny thought sheepishly but the trio was being their usual selves and I didn't want to be around them. I needed to think, now I'm kind of walking to school and I'm getting bored. Do you think you could walk with me?
Of course, I will be where you are in a few minutes.
When Cayla got to Ginny, she was in view of the school. "Hello, Cayla. How was your summer?"
It was good, and yours?
"Fought with Ron, and the twins mostly. None of them will ever see me as a sixteen-year-old girl, but as their six-year-old sister. It's quite annoying. Harry and Hermione came over the last month and that was thankfully the month I went to Alexia's house. So all in all it was pretty normal."
They'll see you as you truly are soon enough. Let them keep the illusion for the time being.
"I guess. Anyways, I have to get going. The last of the carriages just pulled up. Thanks for walking with me. Goodbye Cayla."
Goodbye Ginny.
