Dedication: thepunkprincess for being such a good friend in Hopkins.
A/N: School has started! gasps oh, no! I've got a ton of homework, so don't expect updates anytime soon. I will try to update once a week, though. A note to thepinkprincess : if you have Young for math, look out cuz he's now giving double hw.
September 1st was a clear, blue day and the Weasleys were saying goodbye to each other."Bye mum," Ginny hugged her mum. "Don't worry too much about me."
"Good luck with your joke shop, Fred and George," Ginny waved to her twin brothers.
"Yeah, we'll send you lot's of Skiving Snackboxes," Fred winked at her.
"As well as other stuff to deal with your enemies," George smirked. "But for ikki ronikins, we think he can handle this year fine without our help."
"Head Boys don't need anything from us," Fred grinned. "Not as if we want to offer anything."
"Just because I'm Head Boy, doesn't mean you have to be so rude!" Ron said, annoyed at the twin's teasing.
"Relax, Ron," Harry patted Ron on the shoulder.
"Just ignore them," Hermione shot the twins evil looks.
"Yeah, ignore them," Ginny said half-heartedly, with a wink at Fred and George. They were the only one's in the family who treated her like a friend and not a little sister.
The train honked and Ginny climbed on the Hogwarts Express with the trio at her heels.
"Bye Ron!" Mrs.Weasley shouted out. "Ginny, dear! Don't forget to take good care of yourself! Dress warmly! Get good grades! Don't forget to write daily! Okay, goodbye my baby girl!"
Ginny's face flushed and she gave a her mom a cold look. When Mrs.Weasley disappeared from sight, she stormed into the first compartment she came to.
Inside, she met a girl. Embarrassed, Ginny sat down and muttered a soft hello.
"Bonjour," The girl said warmly with a French accent. "I'm Selene. Selene Tirips."
Ginny looked at the girl. She was pretty with dark brown hair that was pulled into a messy bun. Her eyes were a mysterious blue. Ginny was astonished by Selene's skin, which was pale and freckle free. Her clothes were simple, just a blue tank top and jeans.
"Oh, hey," Ginny gave her a smile. "I'm Ginevra Weasley, but people call me Ginny."
"Bonjour Ginny," Selena said. "I'm an exchange student from Beauxbatons. I'm staying for this year. I hope we'll be good friends."
"Me too," Ginny replied. " So, how was your summer?"
"Oh, it was okay," Selene said lightly. "Just days on the beach and shopping. France is quite nice in the summer."
" Cool!" Ginny smiled. " Sounds better than mine. All I did was get bossed around by my brothers. And do loads of homework. Did you go by yourself or with your parents?''
"Oh, my parents" Selene paused. "They aren't reallyâhere. Not exactly."
"Oh, I see," Ginny was surprised but didn't pursue the topic.
The two friends chatted for awhile until the door opened.
"Well, look who's here," Said the drawling voice of Draco Malfoy. "The weasel actually has a friend. What, were you tired of the perfect three? Or maybe Ron treated you like a little kid too much"
"Get out, Malfoy!" Ginny's face was red. How did he know?
"Oh, but I'm interesting in your friend, Ginevra," Malfoy smirked. "I don't believe we've met before. What's your name?''
Selene's eyes flashed as she stood up. "why should I tell you?" She said coldly. "Please go out or I'll make you."
"Make me,'' Malfoy said.
Selene stood up to face Malfoy and with quick twists of her hand, a bright blue light flashed from her hands. It blasted Malfoy out into the hallway. With a simple wave of her hand, the door slammed shut. After this was done, Selene sat down calmly and took out an edition of Seventeen. Ignoring Ginny's shocked and admiring looks, she started to read.
"Wow!" Ginny was shocked. " That was amazing. Where did you learn it?"
"Oh, it was something I picked up here and there," Selene said off-handedly, flipping a page. " That guy was tres annoying, was he not?
"yes, I totally agree. Boy, I wish I could pick up magic as fast as you do," Ginny joked.
"Is that so?''Selene said absent-mindedly.
Soon, the train arrived at Hogwarts. The magical ceiling and how the food appeared astounded Selene. Ginny showed her the way to the Gryffindor common room, and with a quick goodnight; Selene disappeared into her private room. In my story, exchange students get their own room
Ginny stared after her. She wondered why her new friend seemed so mysterious. She shrugged and went to bed.
