Chapter 3
The New Head Girl
At the beginning of the year, Dumbledore had announced that he had not yet chosen a Head Girl, due to the fact he wasn't sure she would take the position or not. He said he would have one before the dance, as soon as she accepted this offer. People had gone around asking every seventh year girl, to see which one it was. With no luck they never found her. Days and weeks went by and still no girl had been chosen. The students began to give up thinking she had turned down the offer. That was until she was to be asked at 6 o'clock tonight.
Students were heading to their first classes of the day. First years went to transfiguration. Second years went to Defense of the Dark Arts. Third years were in Charms. Fourth years headed off to Divinations or Astrology. Fifth years were in Herbology. Sixth years were in Ancient ruins or Care of Magical Creatures. And last, seventh years were in double potions or in free study. Each Prefect walked the halls making sure, no student was late. Last to join his class was the Head boy. Walking in late to Professor Snape's class was no exception, except of course if you were his nephew and same house as the one he was head of, Slytherin. Gryffindor's hated the fact that they were always picked on, but they knew they couldn't fight back or fear of their house points would get deducted.
"See that your tardiness to my class does not happen again, Mr. Malfoy. Take a seat." Draco did as he was told and went to the front where the Slytherin's sat, hoping for a good seat, found that all of them had been taken. He looked at the Professor hoping he would move one. "Just take one in the back, I am in no mood to deal with any of you lots disobedience."
Looking back he found one single seat open, which happened to be hidden in the shades of the back corner, next to a familiar face. 'That face, where have i seen that face' He turned his head back for a second glance, when he realized it was Ginny from the train. He walked proudly back, making sure all the muggle-borns remembered their place. "What are you doing here, Weaslette?"
"Why I came to stalk you Malfoy." She smirked at him.
The dungeon door open, and before Malfoy had time to respond they both saw the wave of Becky's hair pass by them walking to where Professor Snape stood, and handed him a note and walked towards the back where Ginny sat after Snape nodded for her to go. "Zello Inny." Both girls smiled at each other and listened to Professor Snape.
"As I was saying, you will be giving a sheet of questions you must answer to get paired up with your owlpal, which will be talking place the day after the dance." Papers went around the room and people began answers the questions.

Pansy- Nymphs
These questions went on and on until they were to be paired off according to which they fell in category with. The papers were going to be put in a goblet sort of like the goblet of fire, but it was going to choose based on their compatibility.
The halls were clear of everyone, and two chatty girls whose laughter filled the empty halls were the only sound to be heard throughout it. They were discussing where they were going to go shop for dresses and who they wanted to go to the dance with. The younger girl told the other one of the headmasters request to move up to 7th year with the other girl. They began to head towards the muggle dance studio, where the two love to show the other of their talent at dancing from the heart. Soon a voice that was quiet annoying joined into their sound. The annoying poltergeist informed the older girl she was being requested by the headmaster to come to his office to speak of an important matter. He left but not before dumping cold goopy green liquid on the blonde girl. She cursed before leaving to go clean up as he left. The older red head bid her goodbye before heading to the eagle statue, which was the entrance to the headmaster's office.
"Ah, Miss Weasley it's so good you could join me," he offered lemon drops, but she declined. "Please sit. Well as you know you have been moved up to seventh year, and I know we usually move people up before they come to Hogwarts, but I knew if I had asked you during the summer, you would have declined with all your family staring down at you, especially with Ms. Granger being there. Now as you know, we also do not have a Head girl, and I was hoping that you would take up on my offer and be our Head girl. You are quiet fit for the job, and I know you would do great."
The petite girl was blanking out, not hearing what the headmaster had just asked of her. Shaking out of her shock, "You are asking of me to be Head girl, Sir I don't know I could do that though. I mean technically I'm not even been with this class for all of their seven years, and yet you want me to be their Head girl. Don't you think they will be mad?"
"Well will be at first, but I have faith in that bubbly personality of yours, and they way you can turn peoples perspectives in a different light. You know how make people listen to what you have to say, and I know you would do wonderful being Head girl."
'There is no winning, well if he thinks I can." She signed, "Well if you think I can, I'll do it."
He smiled down at the young girl who could be his granddaughter or even great granddaughter, "Oh I know you can thank you. I'll be announcing you at dinner tonight; I think you know what to do about the living corridor troubles you had with now." She got up and headed out, dinner should be starting within the hour, and she wanted to find Becky to tell her before everyone else knew.
She found Becky in the library with Blaise studying for their test in Snape's class that was coming up. Blaise wasn't really studying, more watching Becky studying, and then when Ginny walked in the room, she stopped to look up and smile at her friend. Ginny returned the smile, "Hey Becky, can I talk to for a second, sorry Blaise." He only smiled at her and nodded for Becky to leave with Ginny. "I'm Head Girl, and now you can stay in my corridors, so you don't have to deal with Pansy."
Becky didn't say anything, she only in groped her friend in to a hug, feeling at easy with how their lives where changing for the better. "Iz have zo zell you somezing, I feel like I can only zell you." Ginny nodded and listened for what she was about to tell her, knowing this was confidential. "I'm Draco's zister." Those three words hit Ginny harder then anything she ever felt, even when she almost had her life drained from her by Tom in the Chamber of Secrets. She tried to keep her breathing in sequence before she even tried to comment on what she never thought she would have known. That wasn't possible; the Malfoy's never had more than one kid, especially something other than a boy. "Inny are zou ok?"
"Yeah, I'm ok, but how is that possible?"
She told her how her mom cheated on Lucius with Severus, and that is how Draco has a sister. Lucius found out and threatened to kill Becky if Narcissa's didn't get rid of her before anyone found out, and soon she had sent Becky away right after she was born to an orphanage. Her mother came ever year before she was adopted by the McMulligan's and told her the truth and about her family. She promised her as soon as Lucius was gone, she would bring her home, but her real father didn't even know she had been born. When the McMulligan's adopted her, they loved her as their own, and just this summer, they learned of her real family, knowing she always still wanted to be a part of that family. They moved to London, to be close to her real family, but only as long she promised to never forget her other family. She would never be able to forget them. They had loved her almost as much as Narcissa's had loved her. Her mother had no idea she was in London or the fact that she was soon to be telling Draco the truth too.
"Wow, well I love you no less if you're a Malfoy or a McMulligan. I'm just glad you told me." Becky wrapped her up in a hug again, glad that her friend accepted her no matter what.
"If it isn't the beautiful French girl, Becky."
"Harry go away."
"I don't think I can, besides it's not you I want to talk to, it's your friend Becky."
"She isn't interested."
"Oh and how do you know?"
"Because she is with me, so back off Potter."
"Sod off Zabini, the girl can talk for herself."
"You heard him Potter, back off."
"I never knew you to hang around slimy gits, Gin."
"I'd watch what I say Potter, wouldn't want to end up in the hospital wing like your friend Weasel, now would you," Harry only stared after the two Slytherin's and back to the two girls that were now heading out of the library, away from the arguments. "Now stay away from her, or I'll let you join your friend." Malfoy glared at Harry who in turn glared back, before stalking away from the two boys.
Dinner was different than usual, everyone was chatting and acting like Becky didn't matter anymore. Usually they went out of their way to glare at her, but today they decided they would just go on with their day like she was just another person. The feast had just started, and when everyone began to enjoy their food, Dumbledore rose and said the Head girl has now accepted her position. "As most of you noticed, Ms. Weasley has moved up to be a seventh year." Hermione turned to Ginny who had her face down trying to not look up, and glared at the younger girl. "She has shown extraordinary talent and is way beyond her years. Today at 6 o'clock I asked her to be Head girl, she was not sure to take the position, but with a little boost of confidence, she has accepted my proposal. I am happy to introduce you to your Head girl, Miss Ginevra Weasley." Everyone stopped and stared at the red head who was trying hard to not look at her. Soon a clap was heard, and then more soon began to join in, but one person did not applaud her, Hermione Granger.
The bushy haired girl got up walking over to the where the now Head girl was sitting, "You ruin everything Ginny Weasley." She was foaming at the mouth now. When Ginny turned to look at the girl, Hermione slapped her across the face, leaving a bright red hand print on the side of Ginny's face. She stormed out heading towards the library. Ginny's eyes were swelling up with tears, but before anyone could see, she ran out of the Great Hall, no one saw which way she headed, but a pair of grey eyes who watched her every move out to the grounds.
Slipping away from dinner to follow after the crying girl, to comfort her. The same way she had always been a friend to everyone before, the person with the gray eyes knew it was finally her turn to have a shoulder to cry on.
Ok I finally told myself I was going to sit down and right the next chapter!! And here it is
