Not everything is flowers and roses

In the days that followed, things did not go so well for little Ginny Weasley.

Already on the second day of school she had to defend herself from the attacks of some first and second year Slytherins, who did nothing but tease her for the alleged Howeler her mother had sent to Ron, imitating Mrs Weasley's voice and laughing stupidly. All, of course, led by Draco Malfoy, who crowned everything with his contemptuous jokes: Ginny tried to defend herself with the first things that crossed her mind but what she knew for sure was that the things she said were too childish to hurt someone.

Even more exasperating were her brothers, Fred and George, who threw themselves on her like vultures whenever they saw her sad or thoughtful, teasing her every time and making her scream like a crow all over the Gryffindor Tower, causing laughter from Alice Barlow and Rose Owen. These girls were even more annoying than any Slytherin: they looked at Ginny as if she was a sea snail, and all they did was mumbling incomprehensible things in each other's ears. Ginny had taken that nasty habit of estrangement from her companions, and for Colin, Demelza and Vicky, that was quite exasperating.

That Friday afternoon, after particularly boring morning lessons in History of Magic and Herbology, the Gryffindor first years headed to the dungeons for their third lesson of Potions with the Slytherins.

Ginny entered the dungeon greeted by the Slytherins with whispers and giggles.

"Sit down," Professor Snape nodded, Ginny's least-favourite teacher, entering the classroom.

Severus Snape always dressed in black, his hair black and greasy, with black eyes: he looked like a particularly overgrown bat. Everyone hated him because he was a teacher who only favoured his students, those of Slytherin, and that gave them the best of everything. Ginny had never understood why Snape had it with her more than the others... maybe because she was a 'Weasley' and her brothers had bothered him over the years? That's probably it.

That day they had to practice with a potion that would cure pimples, and Snape split them up in pairs: little Weasley went, much to Rose Owen's disappointment (she was looking at her like she wanted to incinerate her), with William Todd, a tall, curly-haired boy in her class, with eyes of pure ice.

They read the instructions together and set their cauldrons on the fire, which, when they were heated, began to emanate a steam that rose dense and spiralling: Ginny liked that chemical effect very much.

"Hey, Weasley!"

A little girl with a long nose and long brown hair that belonged to the Slytherins caught her attention with a giggle. Once again she was disturbed and she tried to stay calm, especially in Severus Snape's dungeon!

"What did your mother say? Hey, Harper, what did the mom say? "

"Um, it was almost like that: how dare you steal the car!" nastily recited the little boy named Harper, with harsh, grim features. "I'm really disappointed!"

The Slytherins burst out laughing as Ginny turned purple.

"That's enough!" she offended her.

Severus Snape, meanwhile, continued to wander furtively among the desks to see what the students were doing: they saw him throw a look of pure disgust at Colin's cauldron when he approached him, who was paired with Rose Owen, next to Demelza and Alice Barlow. Ginny thought it could not be worse than to be with Rose and Alice.

Then Snape blurted out something distracting the rest of the class and the Slytherins kept mocking Ginny.

"Weasley, guess what? I heard from Draco that a Potter's autograph is worth more than your home!"

"Harper and Astoria Greengrass," Vicky hissed in irritation, working with Ritchie next to her. William, who was watching her nervously beneath the square glasses, as if he hoped with all his heart not to see her lose control and burn everything in the basement. "Gosh ... they are unbearable nuisances!"

"Ignore them" blew Ritchie.

"Then her house is worth zero!" they continued.

"What are you saying! Less than zero, if anything: the Potter autograph is not worth even a butt!"

The girl ferociously threw four horned snails into the cauldron and was also about to add two more, rude and absent-minded, when William jerked her hand firmly: Rose nudged Alice.

"Ooh, by a hair ... do you really want me to laugh at you for a month?" he snapped. "You were seriously in danger of blowing up everything ... do you have any idea how much they would have made fun of you, those Slytherins?"

"I'm sorry..."

"But why are we sure the Weasleys live in a house, and what if she and her brother sleep in a pigpen at home?" Ginny could not stand that accusation: she turned around ignoring William and snapped like an angry fury.

"YOU ARE ALL DISGUSTING SNAKES!" she shouted angrily and immediately regretted it.

There was silence in the room, broken only by the noise of the cauldrons that simmered.

Snape looked at the little Weasley with eyes narrowed into two cracks from which threatening sparks seemed to come out. He approached her, ignoring the Slytherins who still grunted without restraint: it seemed that what Ginny had said had not hurt them at all. the girl did not expect them to be offended because everything she said was a childish accusation that would not offend even a hippogriff.

The students held their breath when Snape reached her.

"I remind you, Weasley, that I was silent when I entered the classroom," he said in a quietly hissing, disgustingly irritated voice, as Harper and Astoria pointed at her. "Just like your brother! Five points will be removed from the Gryffindor because of you"

And after a look of deep disgust, he turned away from her with a rustle of his cape while Alice gasped.

Ritchie looked at her sadly.

"I told you, you had to ignore them"

The afternoon lessons were not so bad but Ginny's mood seemed to have dug the ditch by itself and the twins did not help at all in that situation: they had pecked their sister with a funeral face and had personally taken care of getting her a bit around before Percy intervened and put an end to that show in the entrance hall, much to Ginny's disappointment that she was, for the first time in her life, grateful and in agreement with that madman of a brother's Prefectuccio.

The girl finished her homework alone in the Common Room, not far from Colin, Ritchie, Christopher and William, but the dark mood of little Weasley was at times to waver and become even more gloomy: Rose was walking the room in strides, marching towards her, followed by Alice who walked with a haughty air like a bodyguard.

"So what's up?" she asked Ginny, taking command of the situation.

"Oh well," she lied.

The two girls grimaced.

"You should not have screamed in class, you know?"

"Yes, I know ... I got angry"

The boys, who were listening not far from the three girls, immediately put their stuff in order to intervene in the conversation: Ritchie Coote, even if with a certain shyness, could not wait to say something and stared slightly at Alice.

"Snape always exaggerates, I heard," he said. "He gets angry with everyone except the Slytherins"

"Yeah, I've heard, it's unfair, is not it? Snape can not behave like that, can he?" Colin said, beginning to ask questions one after the other without ever taking a breath. "I never imagined a teacher like that. What do you think, Ritchie?"

"Yes, Colin," Christopher replied laconically and amusedly as William nodded impatiently.

"Well, anyway ... Snape took away points from Gryffindor, the points I had earned in Herbology with Professor Sprout!" said Alice and Ginny noticed a slight charge in her voice.

But did she really care about the points that the Gryffindor lost? Fred and George had lost so many points from their house, but no one had ever been offended like that and she did it in a tragic way. Did you really believe that five missing rubies would attract the attention of the boys who would have accused Ginny of hampering the path to winning the House Cup?

"I did not do it on purpose ..." the girl muttered with obviousness.

"Yes, but this is not the point" intervened Rose who finally managed to open her mouth, and looked at William with intensity. "She was about to make a real tragedy happen! She was about to blow up her partner's cauldron!"

Christopher laughed, followed by Colin.

"But it did not happen!" Ginny said in a really confusing state.

She did not really know where those two little girls were going...

"Okay, all right! What I really want is to propose an exchange: I will partner with William and she with Creevey" Rose cut short while Alice giggled softly, turning her back on the boys.

William blushed violently, Colin and Christopher laughed and Ginny and Ritchie frowned.

"There's nothing wrong!" blurted Alice taking over and crossing her arms angrily. "If Creevey and Weasley mess up, their cauldron is in a corner of the dungeon and if that bursts it will not jeopardize the lives of the other kids in the class!"

This time Colin did not hold back and laughed seriously, ignoring the fact that Alice had just offended him, along with Ginny, preferring that they die in the explosion of the cauldron rather than annoy the class. Although the class did not seem to be the problem of the two girls.

While Colin, Christopher and Ritchie replied that statement, Ginny slipped away just wanting to get away from everyone.

Rose and Alice did not care so much about the class: all those turns were for the fact that Rose wanted to stay next to William because she was liked him- honestly, and who wouldn't? Even Ginny thought he was nice but would not have made a scene in front of everyone, pretending to be worried about the class and then do a wrong to her partner. Because the two girls, jealous that the small, childish and awkward Ginny Weasley partnered with the cutest boy in their year was a crime.

They wanted to humiliate her in front of him and in front of everyone.

Ginny realized she was shaking with rage: Why did they not leave her alone?

She looked out the window and saw the wooden hut that belonged to no one but Hagrid, Ron, Harry and Hermione's friend, the friend the three of them always went to visit ... the three of them always went to find ... Harry Potter always visited him. Just what she wanted now: seeing Harry Potter will be able to raise Ginny's spirits.

Why had she not thought of it before?

He was the only person able to make her happy, and Hagrid would have gladly let her in.

Ginny raised a tiny fist and knocked three times.

"Go away Fang ... to the doghouse, go to bed!"

Hagrid opened the door and roared with joy.

"Hey Hagrid," she felt a little awkward and embarrassed at the same time.

"Ron's little sister, eh? I remember you, we met ... come in, come in!"

Ginny obeyed and entered, closing the door behind her and finding herself in the strangest house she had ever seen. In fact, it was no more a house than a hut: it had only one wooden circular room, it was messed up, from the ceiling pheasants, hams and other horrors hung like unicorn tails. There were also two windows, one that overlooked a small vegetable garden and the other that faced the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with the Hogwarts castle on the right.

It was very welcoming, just like the Burrow.

"Sit down, Ginny, sit down ...feel at home!"

Ginny looked around and sat down on a large chair before standing up and screaming with fright: Fang tried to lick her freckled face but after a couple of 'away' went into his bed to drool.

"Er ... are you alone?" the girl hesitated, even though she already knew the answer.

Harry Potter, her brother, and Hermione Granger could not be hidden under the wooden table.

"I'm alone yes," replied Hagrid suspiciously. "I was out here in the garden: look 'what I'm growing! They are pumpkins for Halloween. I know it's a little early but for the thirty-first of October they will be big"

Ginny leaned out the window and saw that the pumpkins in Hagrid's garden were gigantic, the size of a big boulder, and they were bright orange: they just seemed to come out of magic, if it was not so ...

"But how...?"

"Hog spell," the giant said proudly, swelling his chest. "With Dumbledore's order, you understand"

"You did a great job!"

"Anyway, why are you here? Not, that I do not like your visit, wouldn't miss it!"

"Oh ... I ... um ..." Ginny started stuttering embarrassed, which certainly did not escape Hagrid.

"Were you hoping to find Hermione, your brother and Harry?" he asked and in the name of Harry Potter, Ginny blushed violently.

"Of course not! I was on a walk... I passed by here and knocked" Hagrid seemed to grasp the lie and the girl swore to have seen a smile appear in the thick beard but it was very well hidden and Ginny was grateful because he did not reply and did not return to the topic 'Why are you here?' or, indirectly, on the subject of 'Harry Potter'.

They stood talking for a long time about Hogwarts, the first day, Gryffindor and all that Ginny had no problem discussing, except of course how her brothers and the snakes teased. How would Ron or Percy react if they came to discover that the twins embarrassed Ginny and that, worse still, the Slytherins made her life impossible, like Alice and Rose, on the other hand? The ruckus would have broken out.

Of that, she could only talk about it with ...

"Tom Riddle" the girl whispered quietly as Hagrid chatted away happily.

The sun was about to fall on the horizon, a sign that he had to return to the castle.

"Oooh, it's late Hagrid!" jumped up the girl.

"Goodness me, I had not noticed!" Hagrid exclaimed as she tried to open the gigantic door with an effort. He went to the rescue. "Do you want me to take you to the castle? It's dark quickly ..."

"Oh no, thank you"

"Come and see me when you like, eh!"

"Sure!"

Ginny walked toward up path, just wanting to lie down on her bed to talk to Tom Riddle.

Dear Tom, today was a pretty tough day. As they are all, on the other side.

Hey Ginny, tell me everything.

First of all, I cannot stand anymore my brothers, Fred and George, they always make fun of everything I do. Percy, the older one at Hogwarts, was very nice instead: he defended me by telling the twins to leave me alone, even if ... he's really very heavy and boring to be with. However, the days here at Hogwarts do not pass as I had hoped: my two classmates are not nice to me and so is the potions teacher. It's frustrating!

Little Ginny Weasley! Do not worry about your brothers, you will see that they will not exceed the limit: if they see you too angry or indifferent with them they will stop pursuing you. As for the days at Hogwarts, enjoy them all and do not think about anyone. Live as if it were your last chance! You will never get another first year. Swear to me that you will do it!

I swear, Tom.

I want you like that.

Ginny smiled like an idiot at the diary: Tom Riddle really knew how to talk to her, he was kind, ready to help every time. It had never happened to have such a fortune, and never in her life would she have imagined finding a little book the friend and adviser of her dreams. She thought of thanking him for the many tips that Tom gave her but it was almost midnight, and she had to go to the Astronomy Tower for their first lesson of Astronomy with Professor Sinistra.

"Ginny, are you awake?" asked the voice of Demelza.

I have to go to Astronomy class. See you tomorrow!

Good work, Ginny Weasley.

"I'm awake" the girl pulled the curtains and put on her shoes. "Even if I wish I would not be ..."

"This fact that we have to get up at midnight to study the stars is irritating," Vicky immediately replied in a manner already stale and very irritated, all swollen with sleep.

And after waiting for her to be completely awake, they set off for the Astronomy Tower.
