My Little Secret (Ginny Weasley x Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 3

*On the Hogwarts Express

I sat down in a compartment with some other first years.

 One girl said her name was Luna. She is nice but kinda weird. 

I also sat with a boy named Collin Creevy. 

He is okay I guess. Energetic and a Crazy Harry Potter fan. He asked me all kinds of questions like "What's Harry Like?" and "Do you think he will let me take his picture?"

I didn't know how to respond to that. 

Maybe I should go sit with Ron and his friends. No, No Ginny, you're fine. I thought.

I end up deciding to leave so I get up and say I'm going to the bathroom. When in reality I am looking for my brother. 

I'm walking by, looking in the train carts for my brother when... I walk past a cart full of second-year Slytherins. 

There is a blond-haired tall, VERY handsome, guy in there. 

I tensed up when I saw him and had to go back for a second look. 

Yup. He exists. Sitting right there. 

Oh wow, he is hot. He looks like an angel. What year is he? Second? That's not a huge age gap. Slytherin though... that will be hard to explain to my parents...

Our eyes catch.

 Oh no. 

Then he flashes a polite smile at me and turns away to continue talking to his friends.

 I blink and few times and keep walking. Then the reality of the situation hits me like a cold stone.

A Slytherin! I can't fall in love with a Slytherin!!! The Weasley family has been Gryffindor for generation after generation! I can't break that now!

I push the stressful thoughts aside and keep walking. 

I finally stumble across the right cart...

Or so I thought. 

I walk in and two Gryffindor students who look to be in their second year are sitting very still, looking quite worried. 

"Umm, would either of you know Ronald Weasley?" 

They both look at me with hopeful eyes. Like I'm the bearer of good fortune. 

"You know where they are?!!" 

The girl said excitedly. 

While the boy just sat there, looking hopeful at me.

"Uhh no sorry.." 

at that they both sat down and looked just as they did before, sad and worried.

 "...Ron is my brother. I'm Ginny. His younger sister. You haven't seen him?" 

"Oh my!" 

Said the girl quite animatedly. 

"I'm Hermione Granger. I'm one of Ron's good friends. "

I almost laugh out loud at that. I know who she is because Ron would not shut up about her all summer. 

 Hermione gestures to the guy sitting across from her.

 "This is Neville long-bottom." Neville waves at me. "Ron and Harry haven't shown up. They never boarded the Hogwarts Express." 

The shock of the new information made my knees go weak. 

They haven't boarded? Where are they? Will they even make it to Hogwarts this year?

"The-They haven't boarded?"

 I said just as a set of tears welled up in my eyes. 

The thought of that nice-looking Slytherin boy was long gone. 

The only thing left was the intense worry that my brother was in great danger. 

I hope you are enjoying it so far! Please leave notes and comments! I would love feedback as this is my first fan fiction! 

Thanks again
