Rating: K+ | Complete A/U | Ginny in Slytherin

Ginny blew a raspberry at him. He smirked and surreptitiously gave her the middle finger. Madam Hooch raised her whistle to her lips and blew.

They kicked off; Ginny grabbed the Quaffle instantly and sped towards the goals. She dodged a Bludger and performed a Sloth-Grip Roll as Gryffindor chaser Angelina Johnson made a grab for the Quaffle. Ginny caught her fellow chaser Daphne Greengrass's eye and passed the Quaffle to her. Daphne passed to Simon Briggs, who feinted left and dodged to the right past Katie Bell, then lobbed the Quaffle to the far right goal post.

Ginny swore; her brother Ron had caught the Quaffle. He tossed it to Alicia Spinnet, and Ginny leaned forward to chase her down.

"Enjoying yourself, Weasley?" came his annoying voice. Ginny gritted her teeth and ignored him. A dark mass shot above her; she looked up squinting to see him flying towards her goalposts.

"Malfoy!" Ginny yelled at her seeker. The blonde boy gave her the thumbs up and shot away after Potter.

As Ginny moved to steal the Quaffle from Alicia Spinnet, the author drifts towards a backstory. Once upon a time, you see, in a whole other universe, Ginny was a Gryffindor. Draco Malfoy wouldn't take orders from anyone shy of Snape or his parents. Harry Potter never gave anyone the middle finger.

But in that universe, there existed a villain called Voldemort. His real name was Tom Riddle, and he was an absolute horror. He killed for fun, torture amused him, and he had no capacity to love. But here, he died under suspicious circumstances as a small child, and never even knew he was a wizard.

Here also, you might notice the whole Slytherin thing. See, the prejudice between the houses that existed in that other universe was caused mostly by the influx of Death Eaters. Here, those never fluxed to begin with and so Slytherin was an okay house. Okay, I say, and was as well, because that was before Ginny Weasley came to Hogwarts. In fact, it didn't even start with her. Slytherin was an okay house until its head retired and Professor Dumbledore hired a new teacher. No, not Snape, because unfortunately he never got over Lily and even then he was a messed up kid. I say kid because he suffered a tragic accident in his mid-teens. 

No, really, it was tragic, he and his mother had run away from his father, but his dad found them and burned down the hotel they were staying in. Snape survived, but unfortunately a beam struck his spine when he was trying to haul his mother out of their room and he suffered permanent damage. His identity remained, he knew what and who he was, but his spinal cord was too damaged for him to even feel his hands. He's still alive, but he's been confined to a bed for the past twenty years. So, no, he doesn't teach. Dumbledore hired a woman by the name of Lily Potter.

Lily Potter you know quite well, and you may also know that she was a Gryffindor during school. Well, Dumbledore decided that he'd rather kill two birds with one stone and have her Head of Slytherin as well as Potions Master. She is by all standards brilliant after all, and the moment Dumbledore hired her, she laid new rules for Slytherin house and made sure they were followed. Slytherin house was no longer a house of purebloods, she said, and Muggleborns were welcomed.

Then Ginny Weasley came along, and she ruled her house from day one. Professor Potter loved her. When the time came, Ginny was made Prefect and Quidditch Captain, and so even though the entire house obeyed Ginny already, she now actually had the power to punish wrong-doers rather than making the prefects do it for her.

 Her second in commands were her best friends Daphne Greengrass and Isabelle Foster (also her roommates), and fellow prefect Draco Malfoy – whose father had passed away long ago and had been raised by his mother alone, who in the end was a rather decent person –, her main enforcers were also the beaters on the Quidditch team, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle – another note, as their family dynamic was very different without Voldemort, they were quite nice when they weren't, y'know, enforcing –, as well as another of her roommates, Millicent Bulstrode.
