Chapter Fifteen ~ Welcome To My Team

Draco pulled Ginny outside where they immediately side-apparated, his arm gently holding hers, to an alley besides the employee entrance to the Ministry of Magic. Ginny fidgeted the entire way inside; she couldn’t help herself. She was unbelievably nervous. She was deathly afraid that she would bugger this opportunity up and she couldn’t afford for that to happen.

“Would you just relax,” Draco hissed.

“I can’t help it. I’m nervous.” She whispered as they walked through the halls towards the Auror Headquarters. As they came upon the door, Draco stopped and turned her so they were facing each other. Ginny was biting her lip nervously. He chuckled lightly as he softly ran his index finger against her bottom lip. Ginny instantly stopped biting it. She looked up at him; brown eyes met silvery – gray. Then he smiled, smiled, not smirked.

And it took her breath away.

“Good luck, Red.” He whispered as he ruffled her hair affectionately, opened the door with his left hand and pushed her in with the left. She stumbled a little and when she looked back to tell him something, Draco was gone.

Frowning, she looked both ways and noticed that the corridors were empty. He must have turned into another room, she told herself. Inhaling deeply, she closed her eyes quickly, forcing herself to relax. With that, she took a step into the Auror Headquarters and into her new life.

“When I call your name, please step forward and step behind your group leader. You will compete among each other in order to see whose skill surpasses the others yet you are still a team. If you work hard; you will succeed. If you half-arse everything, well, then you are better off just leaving now because this is serious. WE are serious here and there are people here who are serious as well. Those are the ones we want. We will be separating you into three groups. The leaders are Harry Potter, yes, yes, the Harry Potter, now shut it; John Dawlish and Ron Weasley. Now I will be calling names.” Gawain Robards, Head of Aurors, said as he stood in front of the small crowd of trainees.

Ginny groaned when she saw both her ex-boyfriend and her brother as the group leaders. She prayed to Merlin, that she wouldn’t end up in either of their groups. She straightened her robes and waited for Robards to begin calling names.

“Casey, Jasmine – Harry Potter.” The brunette girl smiled happily at Harry and Ginny couldn’t help but snort, causing a few of the other trainees to look over in her direction. When they noticed her, some of them looked between Harry and Ginny. They knew that the two had broken up; she wondered if they all were wondering if Robards was nutter enough to put Harry Potter with Ginny Weasley.

“Davidson, Erin – Ron Weasley.” A thin blonde girl nodded and made her way towards Ron.

“Devon, Emma – John Dawlish.” A tall black haired girl walked straight towards John Dawlish.

The list went on and on and finally they called her name.

“Weasley, Ginevra – John Dawlish.” Ginny almost cried with happiness. Dawlish was exactly where she wanted to be. No Harry Potter or Ron Weasley to damper her spirit. Merlin was looking down on her.

After her, Robards called a few other names and then the list ended and the group divided.

By the time the list was finished twenty-four people were separated into three groups. Ginny had three females in her group: Emma Devon, Cameron Orsdale and herself; and five males: Andrew Kirk, Iden Knox, Warrick Madison, Wyatt Prescott and Louis Stone.
