Chapter 5: Ginny

Ginny was fiddling with her straw while staring at the wall of the fast food joint she was currently in. It didn't have the answers she sought though. Hermione had just gone to the bathroom and, while the redhead said she'd wanted to finish her drink first, the truth was she needed some time to think. Think about the mess she'd gotten herself into. And what a mess it was.

Listening to Hermione talk about how they always had magic before made it really hit home that Ginny herself was currently powerless. It wasn't a feeling that she liked.

If that weren't enough, getting home and getting her power back relied on her ability to woo a vampire into sleeping with her and, while she was confident in her ability to do just that, there was still the pesky problem of not dying in the process… Her parents had already lost one child, as much as it pained her to think about Fred, she didn't want them to lose another.

Sighing, she stirred her drink, which was now pretty watered down by ice, with her straw. Ginny knew that they could change the movie even without their powers because the two of them were smart and determined enough to do it. But, really, why did her drunken self think it was a clever idea to add onto that? Taking a sip of her drink and cursing her luck as well as her taste in guys, she glanced over at the bathroom.

"Hermione sure is taking her sweet time…"

And now she was talking to herself her mind supplied sarcastically, before she started feeling restless and took out the straw to chug the rest of the drink. After finishing that Ginny made her way to the women's restroom.

Pushing open the door, she was surprised to not see anyone at the sinks. That only left the three stalls, one of which was open, so Ginny turned her attention to the other two, "Hermione?"

Hearing no response, she walked up to the closest one and knocked only to have it open. No one in there. Now she was worried. Shoving the door beside that one lead to the same outcome, no one was in it.

Hermione wasn't in there.

She was alone.

Ginny was close to panicking at this point.

"Calm down. I must have just missed her. She's probably back at the table." Having told herself that she left the bathroom and found that she wasn't at the table nor in the rest of the small fast food place. It didn't take more than five minutes to search everywhere it had to offer.

"Okay think Ginny," she whispered to herself.

She wouldn't have just left without her, not of her own accord. If someone tried to force her to go with them… that couldn't happen. There was no way she would've left quietly.

What other options did that leave?

Ginny decided to give the washroom another look. The second time the redhead noticed something she hadn't before. Splattered next to the sink was a small amount of blood and upon taking a closer look it seemed to be next to a piece of glass. The amount of blood wasn't worrisome, but it was her only clue. Grabbing some paper towels, she picked it up.

It was fresh obviously, and the place was almost dead tonight so it was likely Hermione's blood. But what did it have to do with her disappearance?

Even if they were no longer in their world Hermione was still Hermione and to leave her blood just laying around somewhere wasn't like her, even if it couldn't be used in potions or spells-

"Wait… That's it! Maybe..."

Well, it was worth a try. After all this was a vampire movie so it was possible but even if her blood held magic, using it was a whole different story.

Ginny never read up on blood magic and while it seemed like something Hermione would at least know a little something about she would have never expected the older girl to try it out by herself. No, if this did work then the other witch probably did it by accident. At least Ginny hoped so because, if not, she was so going to hex her… Later, when she was sure that she could.

Magic experiments weren't really her thing but a voice that sounded suspiciously like Fred taunted her over her hesitation. She wasn't too keen on cutting herself especially with something that already had blood on it but well... Rinsing it off might not be a good idea if Hermione's blood could somehow lead her to the other girl.

"Aw, screw it."

She picked up the shard and pressed down enough to break her own skin, but nothing happened.

"Damn… didn't work." Staring at it, she frowned. "Guess I was over thinking things. Even if blood magic did work here there's no way this would lead me to Hermione."

Sighing, she put the shard of glass back into the paper towels and tossed it into the trash bin nearby before grabbing a new paper towel to stop her finger from bleeding, "Now how do I find Hermione?"

Next thing she knew the familiar sensation of apparition zinged throughout her body.

And just like that Ginny was back on the ground. A very uneven ground she noticed as she nearly took a tumble before coming to the conclusion that, no she was not on the ground but in fact on a- "What the hell am I doing on a roof?"

Still trying to find her balance after appearing here somehow, a mental part of her felt like cheering because she had done magic. Another part, however, wondered if that was something to be cheerful about given where said magic just made her land.

A second later, Ginny realized she was not alone, and her unhappy face brightened up, somewhat forcefully, at locating Hermione. Yes, she was glad to have found her but she was still ticked off at having to find her in the first place. Smiling at Hermione despite that, she placed her hands on her hips and decided it was showtime because for some reason unknown to her, she and Hermione were in the presences of the Santa Carla vampires.

"Why wasn't I invited?"

"Gin?" Hermione seemed to be in disbelief at her arrival. That'd make two of them. Oh right, her finger had blood on it and she dropped the paper towel during apparition… Not sure how her magic was supposed to fix the small cut, she decided to keep her hand balled up into a fist on her hips and play it cool.

Seeing Hermione's look, Ginny mouthed 'later' like was done to her previously by her fellow witch.

"Well since I'm here now let's get this party started!"

Marko spoke then, "You're a witch too? How many are there?"

Ginny giggled and replied, "How many vampires are there?"

David joined the conversation, "How did you find us?"

The redhead looked towards Hermione. "I was looking for her not you, that's just a bonus," she winked which annoyed the brunette witch.

"Can you make spiders appear out of thin air too?" The baby-faced vampire questioned.

"Spiders?" Looking over at Hermione for confirmation, the other girl blushed slightly.

Just then Paul and Dwayne also appeared on the rooftop which was slowly getting to be more crowded. Hopefully no one noticed she thought before realizing that most were still busy dealing with whatever nightmare the boys left with them while the few lucky ones were asleep still.

Ginny caught on pretty quickly and found it funny that miss Hogwarts prefect Hermione Granger was playing such pranks or any pranks really. The boys would be so jealous or at least Ron would.

"Really Hermione, spiders?" The other girl shrugged. "Come on you're more creative than that." This caused the witch to raise her eyebrows in question and Ginny smirked and replied with three words, "Skeeter and Umbridge."

The boys were watching and listening silently to the two witches in front of them, all but Marko who opened his mouth to ask a question only to be stopped by Dwayne's hand before a word could be uttered.

Hermione's eyes widened at the names mentioned and, forgetting her audience, asked, "How do you know about that?"

The how was apparent she realized as soon as she asked. Ginny simply answered with the obvious, "Ron."

"It figures…" Still, that was a completely different story, so she said as much, "That's different, though. They deserved it."

Ginny laughed, "They definitely did but I know you don't have to be feeling vindictive to get creative."

Before she could respond to that David hummed, reminding the two girls of their company, "Vindictive. She doesn't seem like the type."

It was directed towards Ginny but his eyes were on Hermione. "Yeah well, she's not easily pissed off but when she is watch out cause she's scary."

It was said seriously for the most part with only a little bit of teasing thrown in which almost made Hermione roll her eyes. Now that she was once again aware of her surroundings she didn't.

"Says the one whose brilliant at casting hexes."

Ginny smiled at that, "I have brothers. It's a necessity that I had to teach myself." That was her defense and she was sticking to it.

Paul laughed, "Sounds like we've met some pretty scary chicks tonight."

The redhead turned her attention to the vampire she has to woo and smiled, "I'm not scary. As sweet as pie really." She winked at him and grinned while she brought her hand-the one that wasn't cut up, to greet them, "Oh right where are my manners? I'm Ginny."

Instead of grabbing the hand she had extended towards him, Paul grabbed the other one surprising her before he brought it up to his mouth and kissed. He also quickly licked her cut finger.

This caused her to tense but only slightly. Hermione, however, was suddenly extremely on guard and had to hold herself back from snatching her friend's hand away. David narrowed his eyes before glancing at Dwayne. Yeah, the redhead knew what they were as well. That much was obvious.

"You're right. You are sweet. I'm Paul." With that, he dropped her hand and backed up a bit. The redheaded witch did her best to appear unaffected while being slightly flustered in truth. She managed well enough on the outside, but the accelerated heartbeat was something that the boys had picked up on.

Marko brought his hand up to bite his gloved thumb to hide his grin. He was very good at telling the difference between fear and arousal and it was mostly the latter. And from the look on Paul's face, the smaller vampire knew that he knew it too. The impish 'teen' was even pretty sure that Hermione, despite not being able to hear heartbeats, could read her friend's reaction too given how tense she still was and how she was eyeing the two of them. He thought she could be fun if she unwound a bit more.

To lighten things up he introduced himself next, "I'm Marko!"

That seemed to open up the floodgates as Dwayne and David introduced themselves as well.

"Nice to meet you all. So since Hermione's here I'm guessing this isn't a boys only night and now that you've scared some helpless mug-er people what's next on the agenda?"

If they noticed her slip they didn't say anything about it. David smirked.

"How about a contest?"

The two girls look at each other. Ginny was intrigued while Hermione was more wary but seeing Marko jumping up and down in excitement like some kinda puppy dog vampire hybrid made her loosen up some.

"What kind of a contest?" Hermione asked.

"You'll see." After saying that David leapt down from the rooftops and the other boys followed.

"Um, Hermione how do we get down from here?"

The other witch sighed, "Very slowly."

"You want me to climb down? In these shoes? With this dress?" Ginny's hands motioned at her outfit as if the other witch needed help seeing it clearly.

Hermione chuckled, "Better you than me. Besides aren't you always bragging about how athletic you are?"

Suddenly Ginny was jealous of the flats her friend was wearing but she wouldn't admit it. Instead, the ginger flipped her off before taking off her shoes and tossing them over the side.

"Ow! What the hell? Why did you throw shoes at me?" Marko's annoyed voice reached them.

"Hehe. Oops sorry," she called down before grinning over her shoulder at the other witch. Hermione shook her head knowing she was not sorry at all. Really, her friend was sometimes way too Gryffindor. No sense of danger.

Hermione marveled at the other girl as she easily climbed her way down in a knee-length dress. At least she had on leggings, but even if she didn't it wouldn't have stopped her. For Hermione, even wearing pants she knew that it would take longer for her to get down. She might as well get started.

Only before she could, David was suddenly back on the roof and, without asking, lifted her up and jumped down causing her arms to wrap around his neck as her eyes scrunched closed. Though, once on the ground, the witch knew in the future she shouldn't close her eyes around him as it wouldn't do to keep letting her guard down. Not if she didn't want to end up dead.

As he set her down she glared at him and his smirking face, "We don't have all night. Well okay we do, but I'm not going to waste it waiting for you."

Looking over at her friend who had just gotten down and was being handed her shoes by Paul she huffed and crossed her arms while asking, "What makes you think that I couldn't get down just as fast as Ginny?"

"If you could you already would have."

She nodded, "Okay fair point..." Her voice trailed off as her eyes continued to keep an eye on Paul and Ginny. Was this a good thing or something to worry about? Before she could decide, David drew her attention back to him by blocking her view and offering her a cigarette.

"No thanks, I don't smoke."

He tilted his head in an approximation of a nod, "Suit yourself."

"So are we walking now?" Hermione heard Ginny question and Paul answered her, "Nah, we're going to ride but we left our bikes parked up a ways a bit."

"Bikes? You mean those motorbike things? Awesome! I've never been on one of those before!"

Paul laughed and offered to let her ride with him before Marko cut in telling her how unsafe it was for someone that's never ridden to ride with Paul due to his crazy driving. That just seemed to make her more excited to ride with him.

All in all, Marko thought she was nuts. But then again she seemed to like Paul so something would have had to be loose in her head to begin with.

Hermione listened to the three of them talk, never noticing that the other two vampires were observing the interaction as well as her. Dwayne was cautious but trusted David's judgment, while said leader was waiting to make his final verdict on the girls; on these witches that had suddenly appeared in their lives.

Well, whatever the outcome, it was sure to be interesting.
