Chapter 3 Head Boy and Head Girl Quarters

Ginny and Collin stayed behind and waited for Granger to tell them their duties. Hermione came towards them and they stood quickly. "It's all right guys." Hermione waved the formalities away. "As you know you are to be the new Heads. I have placed Professor Malfoy in charge of your keeping. If you have any questions about your duties he will answer them for you. I hope that you three will get along and show me that the choice I have made is the right one." At this she looked Ginny in the eyes. Ginny and Collin both nodded their understanding. "Good. Now that that has been settled I will leave Professor Malfoy to show you to your rooms. Goodnight." She walked away and Malfoy walked over.

"Follow me." Malfoy strode from the hall. He led them to the third floor. They had changed the rooms. The room where they had kept the Sorcerers Stone in Harry's first year had been transformed into dormitories for the Heads. The deep cavern was a beautiful sitting room with two doors leading off to their respective rooms. "Ms. Weasley your room will be to the right. Mr. Creevey to the left. The kitchen and dining area are back down the hall along with Mr. Creeveys dark room and Ms. Weasleys study room. The first room on the left is the room where you will hold the meetings with the other prefects and where you all will arrange any and all events that you will be put in charge of. The password for the door leading here is Snitch. The teachers and the two of you are the only people who know the password. We ask that you keep it that way. If you would like to have guests that is fine as long as the password is kept from them. You may each set the passwords for your own individual bedchambers which only you and those of your choosing will know. The bathroom is off the hall to the right. Enjoy yourselves and goodnight." Malfoy bowed slightly and walked back down the hall and out of the door.

Ginny and Collin explored their new living quarters. It was decorated in black and gold which they both agreed looked good. The bathroom was enormous holding two showers, two lavatories, and a bath the size of the lake on the grounds. They had both been given their own sinks with enough counter space to make a grade a model happy. All of their things were in the perfect place and the over all effect was lovely.

Collin went off to explore his dark room and Ginny went to find out exactly what Malfoy had meant by 'study room'. As she opened the door a gasp escaped her. Her art work had been set up. Her paintings hung from the walls along with photographs that she had taken since Collin had taught her how to use a camera. She walked around looking at all of them. Most were of Harry, Ron, and Mione, but there were pictures of Harry, Ron, and her practicing Quidditch over the summer. She smiled at the memories. She stopped in front of a painting of Harry sitting outside of the Burrow watching the sun set. That was when they were together for a short while. He had agreed to let her paint him and she had made him sit in the same position for hours with him grumbling all the while.

Her easel was set in front of one of the windows with a fresh canvas on it and her paints set out on a shelf nearby. In front of the other window was a desk. The right side of the desk contained her sketches and materials and the let side contained her laptop and reference books. There was a small door to the left of the desk that opened into her own little dark room. Shelves lined most of the walls in her room and they were all covered in the books that had inspired her, her sketch pencils, her pastels, her extra paints, fresh canvases, paintbrushes, and one bookshelf was dedicated to nothing but music. She wandered closer and began to flip through the Cd's that were filed away neatly. She was shocked. No one knew that she listened to muggle music except Harry, and he wouldn't do anything like this for her. Would he? She looked through all of the titles with an enormous smile on her face. Three Days Grace, Edwin McCain, Godsmack, Metallica, Ataris, Eminem, Kid Rock, Story of The Year, Sister Hazel, Sum 41, Switchfoot, The Sex Pistols, Dashboard Confessionals, Tim McGraw, Tracy Lawrence, Toby Keith, Train, Good Charlotte, Yellowcard, Working Title, Vertical Horizon, Papa Roach, Ryan Cabrera, Sevendust, and albums from muggle movies that she had loved. She couldn't believe it.

She pulled the Ataris CD off of the shelf and slipped it into the CD player. As the music flowed out and surrounded her she felt like she was at peace. That was when she saw the letter. She picked it up and walked to the stool that was set up next to her easel. She opened it hastily and read:

Dearest Ginny,
I wanted to welcome you back to Hogwarts in a really special way. I remembered that you like to listen to muggle music while you write, paint, or sketch so... I hope that you like my selections. There should be a few in there that you haven't heard yet, but I think that you'll like them. Enjoy and welcome back.
Love From,
Harry

Ginny smiled as she folded the letter back up. Harry had done this for her. How sweet was that! Ginny's heart jumped. Maybe he still had feelings for her. No. Ginny shook her head. He had said that it was all over and he just wanted to be friends. This was just a show of friendship. She smiled and tucked the letter into her bag. That was when she noticed another letter sitting on her easel. She opened it slowly.

Hey lil sis!
Hermione and I hope that you like what we've done with the place. Harry wouldn't let us in there for the last two weeks because he said that he wanted to do something for you on his own. Hope he didn't screw it up. Anyways Welcome Back!!!! Hope you have a great year, I know I will. See you at Quidditch.
Your Big Brother,
Ron
P.S. Hermione says 'hi' and she loves you.

Ginny smiled as she put this letter in her bag along with the one from Harry. She walked out of the room and at the last second turned to the door. She leaned down and whispered, "Can I set a password to this door?" The doorknob yawned and blinked up at her. "Of course, if you want to." Ginny smiled "All right please set the password to 'Secrets'. Thanks." The doorknob went back to sleep and she went to the kitchen to fix herself some hot chocolate. She carried it into the sitting room and sank into the armchair to stare at the fire. After a while Collin walked in and sat in the armchair next to hers. They sat there together watching the fire for a while.

Collin turned to Ginny "So have you checked out your room yet?"

Ginny looked up. "No. I knew I was forgetting something. Be right back." She set her mug down on the coffee table and walked off to her room. The sight that greeted her was stunning. Her bedroom was done completely in jewel tones. It looked like an Indian princess lived here. The bed was enormous covered in dark maroon, with throw pillows in emerald, sapphire, gold, and other colors thrown haphazardly everywhere. The canopy was a thin gold silk that you could see right through. All of the wood was done in cherry and the floors were covered in throw rugs. Instead of armchairs by the fire there were enormous pillows around a Japanese coffee table. She loved it. The fireplace was was dark brick and taller than she was. The ceiling was enchanted just like the ceiling in the Great Hall. She changed into a pair of sleep pants that hung low on her hips and a spaghetti strap tank top, both done in dark emerald silk. She sighed and pulled her hair out of the ponytail that it had been in. She slipped her feet into matching slippers and grabbed a gold silk robe. She walked back into the sitting room and whispered her password to the door. "Genie"

She and Collin exchanged the passwords to their rooms in case of an emergency then they sat up in front of the fire talking into the early hours of the morning. When they realized that it was well past one they said their good nights and turned in.

Sorry that this chapter was so short and that it took me so long to update. Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks Bria

harrypotterchick4ever-- Thanks for the review. I'm glad that you're enjoying it so far. Hope you stick with me to the end of this.

Dracoginnylover24-- I kind of agree with you on the Ginny/ Neville thing. I never really could see them as a couple, but I can handle it if they aren't the main couple of the story. Like if it's a Hermione/ Harry or Hermione/ Draco then I'm alright with it. NEwayz... thanks for the review and the luck. lol.
