Madam Pomfray had fussed over Ginny before she was allowed to leave the hospital wing for the second time. "Honestly madam pomfray I'm fine, I was just having a bad day, can I pleaseeeeeeee go now", Ginny pleaded.
"Oh, alright", the matron sighed then dismissed her.
Ginny left the hospital wing feeling empty, she'd felt like that most of the night, but then she had felt her angels presence once again, maybe he'd been watching over her. Then she'd heard his voice she was sure of it. After that she'd slept considerably better.
She drifted around the school, having nothing to do but think and feel; the two things that she really didn't want to have to do. Feeling was horrible and strange. she wasn't really feeling at all she was numb and not completely there, it was almost as though her soul had been ripped out along with her heart and she hated it with every fibre of her being. Just yesterday she had never felt happier and now she'd never felt emptier. Thinking was equally as bad as feeling. Her body maybe completely numb to the hurt she should be crippled with. But her mind wasn't, in fact it was buzzing with questions, unanswered.
She sighed, tiered with wondering the school searching for something. She didn't even know what she was looking for but whatever it was it wasn't easy to find.
Ginny slumped to the floor, back against the stone wall, oblivious to the stares and whispering she was causing. To her, these normal, full, happy people were part of a completely different world.
She brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head on them. She was trying to give herself some answers to these annoying unanswered questions buzzing around her head. She wasn't having much luck. Only one person would be able to answer them and she knew that, though it didn't stop her from trying. After hours of trying she gave up. She retired to her dorm room for the night; hoping sleep would stop her feeling so strange.
She walked past the people in her common room like a zombie, ignoring the questions they were asking. Questions that had nothing to do with them. How dare they be so happy and care free whilst she was feeling so lifeless.
When she walked in to her empty dorm room. Something startled her, Ginny's reflection in a body length mirror. She walked up to the mirror and placed her hands on it staring straight into the eyes of her reflection. It looked so familiar yet it still wasn't really her, it couldn't be. This girl looked so broken. Her hair was lank and dull falling around her extra pale face in straggly strands. her eyes where swollen and red reducing them to thin slits, even though she hadn't done much crying that day she still had dried tear tracks down her cheeks. some say that eyes are a gateway into people souls, maybe it was true because when Ginny looked into this girls eyes, she saw nothing but emptiness, she didn't have a soul, her eyes where the gateway to nothing.
The next day was the same, almost. She had lessons today. She didn't speak much. She felt like speaking was far too human and normal for her. Only Collin had noticed her dramatic change in personality. he of course new why she was being like this and he felt horrible and useless, there was nothing he could do except try his best to comfort her in anyway possible. Though he was finding even that difficult. She never responded to him. Most of the time she was staring into space, with a blank look on her face. She was a new person, well, not even a person at all. Just a shell of a person. A fading imprint of a Ginny he'd once known and loved, it broke his heart to have to watch her slowly loosing more life as each day passed. He had to do something; he couldn't just sit by and watch his best friend fade away until she was gone forever.
That night Collin grabbed Ginny by the hand and led her into the Gryffindor 7th year girls' dorm room. She didn't object, that would mean she'd have to talk to him.
Inside the dorm sat lavender brown, parvati patal and Hermione granger looking expectantly at Collin. "Well ladies I've decided what Ginny needs is a knew look and a new out look on life completely. So work your magic!"
"What?" Ginny croaked
"We're all sick of you being so miserable Ginny. I think that maybe if you got a new look it might help you move on". He told her "please just give it a go; I really think it'll help".
Ginny sighed and nodded.
Lavender took Ginny's hand and pulled her over to her dressing table. "Ready to see what we can do then Ginny"
Ginny gulped and nodded, maybe this change wouldn't be so bad; she then promised to be open minded.
That afternoon Ginny walked to dinner with her head held high, something she hadn't done in a while. She turned heads where ever she went. People checked twice to see if it really was Ginny.
She really had changed, on the outside at least. her hair had been cut to her shoulders and layered, lavender had done her make up, they was a lot, a fair foundation which still looked dark on her pale face and unneeded as her complexion was perfect without it and dark green eye shadow was applied expertly along with black eye liner and about 200 coats of mascara. She also had on dark red lipstick and a gloss on top. Parvati thought she didn't need blusher on as she blushes enough without it.
As for her clothes. Ginny almost had a heart attack when the girls presented her with them; tight leather red bodice top that ties up at the front showing cleavage she didn't even know she had. A black leather mini skirt and knee high black boots which tie up at the side with red laces. Her brothers gonna have a fit.
When Ginny walked into the great hall everything went quiet and people stared in awe at her, even the teachers were speechless. Ginny wasn't sure whether she liked all this attention. The last couple of days she'd felt like she wasn't part of this world. But she couldn't pretend she belonged somewhere different when everyone's attention was focused on her.
The slytherins looked shocked that such a sltherinish girl could be a Gryffindor and a weasley. It was true she looked like a bad girl, absolute trouble.
The ravenclaws also looked shocked, but ravenclaws were known for their cleverness, so most of them were shaking their heads, looking disappointed in her.
The hufflepuffs weren't the brightest bunch of kids, so they simply stared bewilderedly at her.
The Gryffindors looked ready to pounce on her. Ron first looked around trying to find the cause of the sudden quietness, when he found it his face turned red with anger.
"GINNY!!!!" he yelled.
Ginny walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down opposite Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan who were looking at her showing their obvious attraction to her by ogooling.
"Yes, dear brother of mine", she said with mock fondness.
"don't you dear brother me young lady, march right back up to your dorm and change out of those clothes immediately before I write to mum and tell her your dressing like a slut!".
Ginny hated how her brother thought her life was his business and this was the final straw. "it's not any of your business how I dress. I'm sixteen Ronald not five. Just stay out of my live". She shouted at him.
"IT BLOODY WELL IS MY BUSINESS. You're my baby sister Ginevra; I don't want boys looking at you in anyway. So put your eyes back in Seamus". He snarled. Ginny just crossed her arms and looked at him defiantly.
"Take them clothes off. NOW!!!!!" he yelled at Ginny.
"As you wish" She said. Desperate times cause for desperate measures. She took a deep breath inhaling as much air as her lungs would allow. Then she stood up from the table and started to unlace her bodess and pull it over her head, revealing a lacy black bra. She then unzipped her skirt and it fell to the floor, still around her ankles, so she kicked it of, it slid along the floor to join her discarded bodice. She then spun around for full affect.
"Happy now Ron" she asked sweetly. Everyone had gasped and sucked air when she'd started to strip only now they released they were human and needed oxygen. Every eye was on her as she stood there in only bra, thongs and knee high boots. She didn't really mind everyone looking at her practically naked, and was puzzled by that fact.
She spun around once more gave Collin a thanks-for-nothing look and stormed out of the great hall. The hall then buzzed with people muttering their disbelieve in what the youngest weasley had just done. It was definitely something that would go down in Hogwarts history along side the weasley twin's marvellous exit from the clutches of Umbridge a few years ago.
"Your sister's whack Ron, though you have to admire her, she's sure got guts". Dean told Ron.
"Never mind her guts did you see her body". Seamus said smirking, after that Ron's fist made contact with his jaw and he was knocked out cold for the rest of the day.
The rest of Ginny's day had been great. Maybe she'd strip more often. After she'd stomped up to her dorm, causing the fat lady to screech when she saw Ginny standing there almost naked and then started muttering about children and their crazy fads, she'd changed into something just as revealing; Though Ron couldn't say any thing as he'd been put in detention for punching Seamus. She was swarmed with male admirers. Offering to carry her books or buy her a drink next Hogsmeade trip Ginny politely refused the drinks but had no objections to letting them carry her books or letting them do her homework. That night she gave them each a kiss on the cheek and gave the fat lady the password. "I almost didn't recognise you wearing clothes, you crazy youth". Ginny just smiled and settled down by the fire in her common room.
"Err, Ginny?" asked a nervous voice.
"Oh, hey dean, here sit down, how are you?" she asked whilst moving over to make room for him.
"I'm good. I wanted to congratulate you on your latest stunt, that took courage gin". He said to her blushing.
"Aww, thanks dean, I just needed to prove a point to Ron. I can wear what ever I want, that includes wearing nothing". She replied and he chuckled lightly.
"I wanted to ask you something and I totally understand if you don't want to but iwaswonderingifmaybeyou'dliketogotohogsmeadewithme". He asked her not taking a breath inbetween each word.
Ginny giggled and thought for a bit this was the perfect way to get over Draco. And dean was a real gentleman he'd treat her right.
"I would love to go to hogsmeade with you dean", she said smiling warmly at him. He really was really good looking.
"Wow, really? Well great I'll meet you by the doors at nine tomorrow morning, bye Ginny". Then he'd left waving at her.
Ginny sighed. She should be glad she was going on a date with one of the schools most desirable boys. But he wasn't a patch on her angel. She'd been so preoccupied all day she'd barely had time to feel sorry for herself. She'd longed to feel the pain she should have been feeling but now she was alone that numb feeling was coming back. It was only seven o'clock but she just wanted to sleep and drift off to her own world, where everything was perfect and no one betrayed her trust. But sleeping didn't give her what she'd been hoping for instead she dreamt of Draco, his letters and the feel of his lips of hers. This brought about the pain she'd been expecting to come for days. It was like nothing she'd ever felt before, it was worse then dying, worse then any curse someone could put on her. She felt wave after wave of depression and grief wash over her. She fought against the pain but it was like a persistent child that simply refused to be over looked and ignored. She tried with all her might to push the memories of Draco from her head but had to except in the end that there weren't leaving any time soon.
