DnG4eVeR: Thanks for coming back again! I love that! And yes, I made Ginny very different from how she was. And I love that there are people out there like her! Lol!
Ginny continued her day, quite uneventfully, making her way through Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. But after her and Draco's little scene in Potion's, she was on the receiving end of a lot of glares from her Gryffindor housemates. Now, with ten minutes left of Arithmancy, she was counting down the seconds until dinner. At the moment, she had just finished up her homework and was idly staring at the clock and buffing her fingernails alternatively, while Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati were glaring at her over their homework. She rolled her eyes and went back to her nails, until she heard the bell ring.
"Finally!" Ginny exclaimed under her breath. She picked up her book bag, throwing it over her shoulder and walked down to the Great Hall. Right outside the door, she spotted Madison, walking with Pansy.
"Oi! Madison!" Ginny said, waving her arm above the student's heads. Madison stopped and waved her over, giving her a smile. Ginny pushed her way through the students and walked up the two.
"Hey everyone!" She said, pushing hair out of her eyes. Madison gave her a quick hug and Pansy smiled.
Madison looked Ginny over. "You look like you've had a rough day."
Pansy nodded in agreement. "Well, what can you expect, she was with Gryffs!"
Then as an afterthought she added, "No offense!"
Ginny waved it off and smiled. "None taken. I don't even like them. I don't belong in that house anyways."
Pansy smirked. Pansy then added, "Gin, you want to come and sit at our table for dinner? Unless, of course, you want to sit by the Dream Team..."
Ginny cut her off. "No, no, I don't... That sounds great."
She nodded and they entered the Great Hall. Ginny took a quick look to the Gryffindor table and noted in delight that Ron wasn't back yet. She smirked in spite of herself, remembering all to well the scene. That added scene was excellent, if I have to say so myself. Ron fainted! But somehow, she found her mind wandering back to the kiss. His lips were so soft and warm...Oh! I could have kissed him all day! Then she popped out of her thoughts. Gin! Snap out it! It was just for show... But still... She sat down next to Madison and Pansy and set down her bookbag. It was then she noticed the silence in the Great Hall. She looked around her to find every single head in the Great Hall turned on her, including the teachers. She gave Madison a knowing look and took a spoonful of mashed potatoes on her plate. They still stared. Then, Draco and Blaise entered the hall. The entire hall shifted its sights to Draco. He smirked smugly and went to sit down across from the girls with Blaise. Now half the hall was staring at Ginny, the other half on Draco, and some were staring alternatively at the two. Ginny scowled and turned around, facing the majority of the hall.
"Yes?" She asked, right as Draco asked the same thing. The students, not unlike what happened in Potions, suddenly all turned away and started talking amongst themselves about what had happened in the 7th Year Advanced Potions class.
"Well, I guess news travels fast," Ginny said to Madison, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise. They nodded. Then Ginny noted that the Slytherins still hadn't said anything. She suddenly felt very uncomfortable until...
"Way cool Ginny!"
"What a brilliant idea!"
"Didn't know you had it in you!"
"Are you sure you don't belong in Slytherin?"
Ginny felt a blush crawl up on her cheeks as the Slytherins got back to eating their food. She turned back to Madison, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise. "So..."
Draco smirked. "Well, I guess we have a fan club, eh?"
Ginny blushed a little deeper. Normally, she would have said something more cutting-edge, but now, slightly embarrassed, she simply answered, "It seems so..."
She quickly regained composure. "So what's new?"
Pansy, not willing to let her live it down yet, answered, "The biggest thing now is what happened it Potion's class..."
Ginny smiled. She looked at Draco and retorted, "This worked out better than I thought it would."
He smirked and answered, "Oh I knew it would work out this well. Part of why I agreed to it."
She laughed. "Have you noticed Ron isn't back yet?"
"Yeah, I noticed. First thing I looked for coming in here," he answered, the corner of his mouth twitching up. She laughed again, looking up to his eyes. Not again, those sexy eyes will be the death of me... Wait... Sexy? Ginny shook her head to clear her thoughts. The rest of dinner ran smoothly and the five conversed merrily until the last of the desserts were wiped from their plates.
"Well, I need to go back to my common room unfortunately. I hate those bloody girls," Ginny grumbled. "I'll see you all tomorrow..."
Ginny waved goodbye to Madison, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise and headed off to her dorm. She walked silently over to the Gryffindor entrance and mumbled the password to the Fat Lady. The portrait swung open and Ginny climbed through. Immediately, as she stepped inside, she groaned.
"VIRGINIA WEASLEY!" Ron roared as soon as she came through. Ginny let out a sigh and watched as he stormed over to where she was standing, towering over her by a good ½ foot. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN POTIONS TODAY?"
Ginny decided she wasn't going to play nice anymore. "Let's see, I argued with you, made friends with Pansy, and then I got assigned to Draco for partners for the rest of the year. Then what? Oh yeah! I decided that Draco Malfoy is one sexy man and kissed him passionately in front of you all?"
Ron fumed. IF smoke could have been steaming out of his ears now, it would have. "PRECISELY! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
Ginny grinned and answered, "Honestly Ron, listen up. I already told that I thought Draco was a sexy..."
She started before he cut her off. "SO YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE?"
Ginny looked him straight in the eye and answered, "Most definitely."
Ron burst out then. "GINNY! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE WEASLEY NAME AND THE GRYFFINDOR HOUSE! YOU NOT ONLY HAVE BEEN A BITCH BUT YOU KISSED DRACO MALFOY, THAT DEATH EATER SCUM WHO SHOULDN'T EVEN..."
But Ron never finished his statement. Ginny picked up her hand and fiercely slapped Ron in the face. Now Ginny stood, her hand still raised in the air. She told him a deadly hiss, "It's true. I kissed Draco Malfoy and never regretted a minute of it. But he is better than you, so perhaps you should back off the name calling and grow up. And maybe I am a disgrace to the Gryffindor name, but that would make you dirt, Ron. I never belonged in this house anyways. After all, look at the people who represent it."
With that, Ginny spun around and exited out of the portrait hole. She was furious, it was true. How dare he call Draco names? She turned the corner down the hall and suddenly realized something. I have just defended Draco Malfoy. Oh, Gin, you've got it bad... She finally arrived in front of the stone gargoyle. Whispering the password under her breath, she ran up the spiral staircase, trying to calm down. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Professor Dumbledore's office.
"Come in," his raspy voice said from behind the door. She entered, closing the door behind her. "Ah Ms. Weasley. How may I help you?"
"Good evening Professor," Ginny started. Dumbledore motioned for her to take a seat and she did. "I know this may sound rash and not well thought out, but I can assure you, I have had this on my mind for quite some time. I'd like to be re-sorted sir."
Draco meanwhile had said goodbye to Pansy and Blaise as he turned the corner, heading to his private rooms. His father had requested private rooms for Draco in his third year as a birthday gift to Draco for his 13th birthday. He lived there all alone, something he very much enjoyed. His rooms actually connected to Pansy's and Blaise's through a door in his library. He had been offered the Head rooms, but with Hermione Granger being Head Girl, he most definitely would not share. And he had seen the Head rooms. His were better anyways. He walked up to a picture of a beautiful woman. She had long brown hair, curled in coils and had silver eyes like Draco. She wore a deep blue evening gown and had the name of Lady Cassandra.
"Good evening Draco," she said pleasantly. Draco gave a small smile.
"And to you my Lady," he replied politely. "Donec ferus amor."
She smiled pleasantly and opened up. Draco stepped into his private rooms, glad to be back by himself. He climbed up the stairs to his bedroom and bath. He pulled off his clothes, until he was left only in his black silk boxers (A/N: Drool....). He went into his bathroom and rinsed his face off with warm water, before going back into his bedroom. He laid down in his bed, willing himself to go to sleep, but couldn't. His mind was invaded with thoughts of caramel-colored eyes and dark red hair.
"Re-sorted you say?" Dumbledore asked as he lifted his bushy gray eyebrows. Ginny nodded and explained.
"Sir, when I was sorted in my first year, I had the choice of whether to go to Gryffindor or Slytherin. At that age, I was stupid, eager to please, and my soul concern was of what people thought of me, so I chose Gryffindor. And don't get me wrong sir; I don't think Gryffindor is a bad house at all. I just have high doubts on some of the people sorted into it. As of late, I have come to realize, I am not one of them. With other housemates and situations, I feel that I would have enjoyed Gryffindor much more," Ginny ended, looking up at Dumbledore. She was very serious about all of this, but she hoped that the Headmaster wouldn't hate her now, because she liked the man a great deal.
"I understand Ms. Weasley. I can see that you and several members of your house don't get along very well, and that would be most difficult to live with," he answered. "As it is your wish to be re-sorted, we shall resort you tomorrow at breakfast. You were a wonderful addition to the Gryffindor house and I feel that you will always carry the Gryffindor qualities in your heart."
Ginny nodded and stood up. "Thank you sir. This means a great deal."
She stood there for a second and then walked toward the door. But right as she opened the door, she heard Dumbledore call out to her.
"And Ginny, I don't hate you. I never could," he said, with a twinkle in his eye. Ginny beamed and shut the door.
She walked back to the Gryffindor tower in good spirits. Even when Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender started giving her evil glares in the dorm. She simply ignored them all and put on her pajamas. She climbed into bed and fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, Ginny woke up very groggily, until she remembered the events of last night. Finally she was going to be free of the idiotic people who surrounded her! She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom, past the three annoying girls who were primping. She stepped in the shower, letting the hot water wash her body and soothe her muscles. She washed up and shampooed her hair, finally stepping out in only a towel. The girls stopped what they were doing and looked her up and down. I have a great body and you don't... Get over it! She thought to herself. But when they wouldn't stop staring, she couldn't resist.
"Jealous?" Ginny asked smirking. The girls immediately stopped staring and went back to their makeup. Thought so...
Ginny went over to her trunk that she still hadn't unpacked. Probably a good thing now that I'm relocating anyways! She thought happily. She looked through her clothes and pulled out a pair of blue low-rise jeans she had picked up in muggle London, a red t-shirt that had "I love me" printed on it, and a pair of sneakers. She pulled on some undergarments and then dressed in her clothes. Finally, she did a spell to dry her hair and another to put it in curled coils. Finally, she added some lip gloss and a dash of mascara before running out the door, leaving her roommates to attempt beauty.
Draco sat up sleepily in his bed, glaring at his alarm clock. With a groan, he rolled out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, letting warm water run down his toned muscles. After about ten minutes, he got out with a towel hanging loosely on his hips (A/N once again, DROOL!), running a towel through his hair. He searched through his closet, digging out a pair of black trousers and a black t-shirt. He pulled on his boxers (A/N Red this time...Lol...) and pulled on his pants. He then quickly dried his hair and put his shirt on, which defined his muscular chest. He then grabbed his book bag and ran down the stairs and out of his rooms. Around the corner, he found Pansy, Madison, and Blaise waiting.
"Ready?" Blaise asked. Draco nodded and they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Ginny walked alone down the hall, finally coming upon the Great Hall. She looked over to the Gryffindor table to find nearly everyone there glaring at her and she smiled in spite of it. The she looked over to the Slytherin table where Pansy was waving her over. She trooped over to the Slytherin table and took a seat next to Pansy.
"Hey you guys," Ginny said, cheerfully. Pansy smiled, Madison waved, Blaise nodded his head, and Draco winked at her. Hold on, did Draco just wink at me? I must be dreaming...
"You seem happier than yesterday," Pansy noted. "What's up?"
"Oh, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough..." Ginny answered right as Dumbledore stood up.
"It isn't often that I address you all at breakfast, but today, something rather important is about to happen. For the first time in Hogwarts history, a student has asked to be re-sorted," he stated. Around Ginny, Pansy and Madison were murmuring, wondering who it could be. If they only knew... Dumbledore gave a brief look in Ginny's direction and continued. "Now, to be re-sorted into a house other than Gryffindor, Ms. Virginia Weasley."
The entire hall was silent. Madison looked at Ginny with her jaw dropped and Pansy looked rather amused. Blaise looked confused and Draco looked a little shocked. Ginny looked over at Ron as she stood up and walked over to the Hat. He looked furious. Oh well... She went up to the stool and took a seat where Madison had seat just a few nights ago. Dumbledore dropped the hat over her head.
Ah, Ms. Weasley again. Yes, I knew you were never going to finish Hogwarts as a Gryffindor. Well, I suspect you already know where you are going to be put, if you remember what I said. You possess power, Virginia. Great power that is not your own. Slytherin will do you well. But beware; you will suffer many trials before you graduate. So here goes... Slytherin!
A collective gasp was heard from the Gryffindor as they all stared at Ginny in anger and shock. Ginny smirked and pulled the hat off her head, placing it on the stool. She nodded to the teachers before facing the school once again. Silence hung in the Great Hall. But suddenly, the Slytherin table erupted in cheers. Ginny smiled and walked over to the Slytherin table were she was received warmly. She took her seat again and found both Pansy and Madison hugging her.
Pansy pulled away first. "Unbelievable. I always knew you weren't like your stupid brother," Pansy said, beaming. "Oh Merlin! This is going to be so much fun!"
Then Madison pulled away. "Oh my God Gin! This is so wicked! Oh I am so glad you are here!"
Ginny laughed. "So am I..."
She looked up the table at the Slytherins who were still clapping. She blushed a little and looked over at the other tables. The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables had started to clap, though they looked very confused. But the Gryffindor table sat in shock. Hermione and Harry looked dumbstruck and Ron looked furious. But Ginny didn't care anymore. She turned back to her new table and looked at her new house mates. They had gradually stopped clapping now and she caught the eye of Draco Malfoy, one of the last to stop clapping.
"Welcome to Slytherin," he said, ending with a smirk. Ginny laughed and gave him a smile. She watched him for a second longer before turning to Pansy and Madison.

But after her and Draco's little scene in Potion's, she was on the receiving end of a lot of glares from her Gryffindor housemates.

"VIRGINIA WEASLEY!" Ron roared as soon as she came through. Ginny let out a sigh and watched as he stormed over to where she was standing, towering over her by a good ½ foot. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN POTIONS TODAY?"
Ginny decided she wasn't going to play nice anymore. "Let's see, I argued with you, made friends with Pansy, and then I got assigned to Draco for partners for the rest of the year. Then what? Oh yeah! I decided that Draco Malfoy is one sexy man and kissed him passionately in front of you all?"

But Ron never finished his statement. Ginny picked up her hand and fiercely slapped Ron in the face. Now Ginny stood, her hand still raised in the air. She told him a deadly hiss, "It's true.

She pulled on some undergarments and then dressed in her clothes. Finally, she did a spell to dry her hair and another to put it in curled coils. Finally, she added some lip gloss and a dash of mascara before running out the door, leaving her roommates to attempt beauty.
Draco sat up sleepily in his bed, glaring at his alarm clock. With a groan, he rolled out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, letting warm water run down his toned muscles. After about ten minutes, he got out with a towel hanging loosely on his hips (A/N once again, DROOL!), running a towel through his hair. He searched through his closet, digging out a pair of black trousers and a black t-shirt. He pulled on his boxers (A/N Red this time...Lol...) and pulled on his pants.

"Now, to be re-sorted into a house other than Gryffindor, Ms. Virginia Weasley."
The entire hall was silent. Madison looked at Ginny with her jaw dropped and Pansy looked rather amused. Blaise looked confused and Draco looked a little shocked. Ginny looked over at Ron as she stood up and walked over to the Hat. He looked furious. Oh well... She went up to the stool and took a seat where Madison had seat just a few nights ago. Dumbledore dropped the hat over her head.
Ah, Ms. Weasley again. Yes, I knew you were never going to finish Hogwarts as a Gryffindor. Well, I suspect you already know where you are going to be put, if you remember what I said. You possess power, Virginia. Great power that is not your own. Slytherin will do you well. But beware; you will suffer many trials before you graduate. So here goes... Slytherin!
A collective gasp was heard from the Gryffindor as they all stared at Ginny in anger and shock. Ginny smirked and pulled the hat off her head, placing it on the stool. She nodded to the teachers before facing the school once again. Silence hung in the Great Hall. But suddenly, the Slytherin table erupted in cheers. Ginny smiled and walked over to the Slytherin table were she was received warmly. She took her seat again and found both Pansy and Madison hugging her.
Pansy pulled away first. "Unbelievable. I always knew you weren't like your stupid brother," Pansy said, beaming. "Oh Merlin! This is going to be so much fun!"
Then Madison pulled away. "Oh my God Gin! This is so wicked! Oh I am so glad you are here!"
Ginny laughed. "So am I..."
She looked up the table at the Slytherins who were still clapping. She blushed a little and looked over at the other tables. The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables had started to clap, though they looked very confused. But the Gryffindor table sat in shock. Hermione and Harry looked dumbstruck and Ron looked furious. But Ginny didn't care anymore. She turned back to her new table and looked at her new house mates. They had gradually stopped clapping now and she caught the eye of Draco Malfoy, one of the last to stop clapping.
"Welcome to Slytherin," he said, ending with a smirk. Ginny laughed and gave him a smile. She watched him for a second longer before turning to Pansy and Madison.
