Ginny's Wish

It was late September and Ginny Weasley and her friends had now settled back into the routine of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She had been the top of her year as she's had passed her OWLS with one OWL less than the head girl Hermione Granger.

She made her way back to the Gryffindor Common Room after doing her rounds with Colin Creevey, a fellow Gryffindor prefect and Ginny's best friend.

"Can you believe they made Malfoy head boy? I can't believe Dumbledore would let him, after his dad got put in Azkaban back in our fourth year! I wonder if his mum pays the school governors now since his dad was found to be a supporter of you-know-who?" Colin said all very quickly in one breath.

"It's Voldemort Colin. Fear of that bastards name gives him the power to put fear into the supporters of the light." Colin winced when Ginny said his name.

"I can't believe you call him by name, especially after what happened in our first year." Ginny just smiled and put a strand of her fiery red hair behind her ear.

"Colin that was five years ago, I really don't wanna."

"Harry get over it!" came the voice of Ginny's brother, Ron. "Cho has left. She's no longer in Hogwarts and she's now engaged to Jason Abbot." Ginny rolled her eyes at Colin as they reached the top of the staircase and the Gryffindor Golden Trio came into sight.

"But I." protested Harry.

"But nothing Harry," interrupted Hermione. "For once this prat is right," she continued, gesturing towards Ron. "You need to get on with your life. There are plenty of girls out there who'd die to have you as a boyfriend, myself not included. I believe there's one whom you consider a friend and you're the guy she's liked since she was 10!"

Ginny's heart clenched, surely Hermione wouldn't .

"Who is it?" asked Ron. Hermione rolled her eyes as Ginny and Colin walked past them, up another flight of stairs.

"Honestly, don't you know anything? It's so obvious! Ginny!"

"Hey, that's my sister 'Mione!" exclaimed Ron.

"Yeah 'Mione, it's Ginny. Ok, she's pretty and everything but I don't think."

"That's right you don't think Harry Potter! That's because you hardly even know her, other than the fact that she's Ron's little sister. Ask her to the Yule Ball Harry, there's no harm in it." Harry snorted.

"Yeah right, there's no harm in going to the Yule Ball with your best friend's sister, who has not one, not two, not even three, but six older brother's who would pound me to death if I so much as look at her in that way. Ain't that right Ron?" he said looking at his friend.

"Too right mate, you'd be dead before you could say the word 'Quidditch'." Hermione made an exasperated sigh, turned on her heels, and walked away, muttering something about 'stupid boys'. Hermione saw the girl with fiery red hair and ran to catch up with her.

"Hey Ginny," she said.

"Why did you have to say my name Hermione?" The head girl bit her lower lip nervously.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pulled your name into the conversation, it just came out."

"Don't worry about it 'Mione," said Ginny. "Sometimes I wish that Harry hadn't come into my life you know. But that's kinda hard considering he's Ron's best friend and the fact he saved my life when he was only twelve years old."

"True," she mused.

"Hey you know, that reminds me of a film I saw a couple of years ago called the Labyrinth," said Colin, for the first time since Hermione arrived.

"Yeah I know that film," replied Hermione. "It's the one with that singer David Bowie in it." Ginny, who was from a wizard family had recently taken an interest in muggle films, after spending last summer at Hermione's house and the Easter before that at Colin's house.

"What is it about?" she asked, stopping in front of a large mirror, that they hadn't noticed before.

"It's about this girl called Sarah Williams. She's into this book called the Labyrinth, that about a Princess who wishes her brother away to the Goblin King. So Sarah, is really annoyed at her step-mother for leaving her to baby-sit her half brother Toby again, and she angrily wishes that the Goblin King would take him away because he doesn't stop crying," said Colin at the speed of a million miles per hour.

"What happens?"

"Well her wish comes true, but she doesn't really want Toby turned into a goblin, so Jareth, that's the King of the Goblins, let's her run his Labyrinth. And if she makes it to his castle within thirteen hours, she can get her brother back."

"Oh."

"But that's not all," said Hermione. "Muggles actually believe that it's a true legend!"

"I think it's true," said Colin. Hermione snorted.

"You would!"

"Well I wish that the Goblin King would come and take Harry Potter away!" Ginny said, laughing. "It would make my life much easier."

"True," said Hermione. The three students began laughing as they leaned beside the mirror.

"What's so funny?" asked Harry, as he and Ron walked over to them.

"Ginny, just wished you away to the Goblin King!" laughed Hermione.

Suddenly all the torches in the corridor went out. The five friends stared around in confusion. It was pitch black and they could hear something scuttling about in the darkness and the flapping of wings. Harry let out a shout of surprise as small creatures grabbed him and dragged him through the mirror.

The four students left behind, looked around themselves to see where Harry had gone.

"This is ridiculous!" said Hermione after she's bumped into someone in the dark. "Harry come out!" She took out her wand and muttered 'lumos', to see who she'd bumped into. All four of them gawped at the tall blond- haired man with mismatched eyes. "I don't think you'll be seeing your friend 'Harry' again anytime soon," he sneered.
