I dont own any of this... wish I could say I was J.K. Rowling's but I'm not. I only own my idea...
Chapter 2
Stepping out of the fireplace, Ginny dusted the soot off her robes. I can't believe Hermione! I knew that stupid twit would be jealous but honestly accusing me of lying. Now that's below her! She'll learn how smart I really am when term starts… I'll make sure of it! Thinking of ways to get back at Hermione, Ginny made her way down Diagonally. Deciding that she needed to calm down before she bought her school supplies. Ginny heads for Madam Stone's Pet Shop; to see what new animals they have in stock. Maybe ill have enough left over to actually get a familiar this year. Maybe an owl likes Harry's… Broken out of thought by running into something hard, Ginny falls backwards… "Shit!" but nothing happens; slowly Ginny registers two strong arms around her middle holding her up.
"So the Weaslette's got a mouth on her has she." came an amused drawl of none other than Draco Malfoy.
Shit! Shit, shit, shit, shit! Of all people to run into I had to run into him!
"Im going to have to burn these robes now because they have poor germs all over them," Draco sneered. Who still had his hands around Ginny's waste, his arms unwilling to let go no matter how many times he tried.
Oh no you didn't! "Get your discussing Malfuric hands off me! Arh! Don't you ever watch where you're going?" demanded a very livid Ginny.
"Excuse me Weaslette but-"
"Your excused, now move out of my way!" Ginny pushed passed a very shocked Draco, who was for once speechless.
How the hell did that happen? How'd she get the last word? Malfoy's always get the last word! Debating on weather or not to go after her, Draco decided just to follow her.
I wonder what Malfoy thought about that! I really shouldn't have taken my frustration out on him, but it was too easy. Besides now he'll know that I'll fight back. I wont be pushed around this year! All right, now what to do now… Best get my shipping done… With that thought in her mind Ginny started buying everything she needed for the next year.
After watching Ginny for little over half an hour, Draco comes to two conclusions one Ginny was shopping alone. Secondly she defiantly grew up over the summer. Deciding to have another conversation with the fiery redhead, Draco follows her into the pet shop.
With everything bought Ginny has exactly 1 gallon, 12 sickles and 3 knuts left. That should be enough to get a pet… With a smile that had been void for the last hour gracing her face Ginny heads to the pet shop. As Ginny walked into the shop, the doorbell chimed signaling someone's entrance, an average height woman looked up.
"Hello. My name is Madam Stone, how can I be of service?" The blonde haired woman asked from behind the counter.
"I'm just looking for a familiar Ma'ma. If I need anything I'll let you know." Just as Ginny rounded the corner to look at the owls, the door chimed and Ginny faintly heard Madam Stone if she could help him…
Making her way through the owls, Ginny looks at them each in turn but doesn't feel a connection with any of them. With a small sign Ginny moves onto the feline section. Where she goes through the same process, and again finds nothing. Getting a little discouraged, sure there were lots of animals here, but Ginny didn't just want a familiar she wanted a friend as well. With only the exotic pet section left Ginny walks in hoping to find the special animal. Seeing very beautiful and wild birds to extremely small frogs, Ginny still wasn't finding what she wanted. With a defeated sign she starts to walk back to the door, leaving all hopes of getting a familiar this year dashed. Hearing a crash stopped Ginny in her tracks. She had just left the exotic pet section but went back to see what had caused the ruckus. Upon entering it looked like no one was there, but Ginny knew better. Going over where she thought the crash happened she saw a little crate that was tipped over. I don't remember this being here… curiosity getting the better of her she picked up the crate, and inside was the smallest, most frighten kitten she's ever seen. Ginny felt the instant connection she had been searching for. The kitten wasn't anything special by any terms; it was a dirty white color with a chunk missing out of its left ear. It looked like it need a bath horribly and seemed to be very skinny and unhealthy, but Ginny knew better. Something inside told her the kitten was perfectly fine. "Your perfect, aren't you. You poor thing, don't worry I'm going to take you home with me. Would you like that?" she cooed to the kitten.
As she finished the kitten looked strait at her and meowed, and Ginny swore she heard the kitten say, "yes." Ginny walked up the counter where Madam Stone was, "How much for this little kitten?" Ginny asked as politely as she could muster.
"Oh my, this is a very rare kitten you have here, she is a Singapura. This kitten won't get any bigger than you hand. Usually she would go for 5 gallons, but she is very ill. I can't really sell her to you, because that would be selling an unhealthy animal to you. Is there any other you would like?" after seeing Ginny shake her head no, Madam Stone sign, "Very well, as you seem to have your heart set on this, you may have her. No one else would want and unhealthy kitten, so you may have her. Thank you for coming to Madam Stone's Pet Shop, good luck."
"Thank you ma'ma," after giving Madam Stone a quick smile, Ginny left deciding to go to Flourish and Blott's.
Draco watched as Ginny looked over the owls, she seemed to be trying to decide what color and species she wanted when she turned her back on them and went to the feline section. Again she looked through them and still didn't pick anything. For a Weasley she sure is a picky thing…what's she doing? It's like she doesn't know what she wants… Wait a bleeding minute, why do I care? Why am I doing this? Why am I Draco Malfoy watching a Weasley? Snap out of it Draco! Turning around, ready to walk away his robe caught on a small crate, sending it crashing down. Looking around he saw the Weaslette looking around for the cause of the crash. Draco decided now was a perfect time to taunt her, but he needed to be behind her, so he quickly left the area. Just as he was about out of the section he heard the strangest thing… he could have swore he heard her meowing to the cage, almost like she was talking to whatever was inside. That's it shes defiantly mental, not that she wants before, because she is a dirt poor Weasley but this was defiantly more. What is going on with her? Im going to find your secret out Weaslette no one has secrets from a Malfoy when he wants to know something. Expectially you, I'll figure it out, if it's the last thing I do. With a new determination to find out what was going on with Ginny Weasley, he watched as she left the shop.
