A.N.1: Yes I know the last chapter was really short and I’m sorry I don’t know if this one will be longer but I’ll try. Also it’s been a while since I’ve read the books and forgive me if something is different than in the books I cant keep every word everyone says okay.

A.B.2: Oh and sorry for the cursing its just I think teenagers curse sometimes and yeah I don’t want to see hate comments I warned you okay BYE

So lets start the second chapter :D

Ginny’s P.O.V.

I woke up that morning and felt more energized than ever in my life. Today I was getting my wand! Ahhhhh!

I put my clothes on, ran out of my room to the door next to mine. I didn’t bother to knock on it and just ran in “Freddie, Georgie guess who’s getting her wand today?” I squealed “Oh my god I’m going to Hogwarts in six days AHHHHH” I couldn’t stop jumping around. “What the actual FUCK, GINNY” I heard a voice from the right side of the room, “Do you know what time it is?” another voice came from the left. I knew very well what time it was but I didn’t feel like telling them was a really good idea. “See ya later” I mumbled and toddled out of the room. I didn’t really feel bad for waking them up my mood was way too good as if something like my brothers being mad at me could demolish it. I walked downstairs and because I needed some fresh air I went outside. I didn’t feel like taking the time to put on shoes and just went outside barefoot. The feeling of my cold feet touching the even colder ground and running through the fresh, wet grass calmed me down a little, it was the first time in this whole time since Harry had been here that I was alone, all for myself and my thoughts immediately run to Harry. From that day on that I had seen him at Kings Cross nearly a year ago all I could think of has always been him. I remember so well looking into those green eyes and saying “Good Luck”. When Ron came home for summer holidays and told me he was friends with Harry Potter all I ever asked him about was Harry. I was crazy about him. But now it was different. Now, that I got to know him better, he was like a brother to me and not more. It was like a crush, like the surreal imagination of falling in love with a “celebrity” with someone who seems so unreachable.

Looking at my thoughts I realized that I’ve always talked about everything with my brothers but we actually never talked about love. I didn’t know if any of my brothers liked someone or if they ever had a girlfriend or something like that. But in the end I really didn’t care I was never really interested in that stuff. I grew up surrounded by boys; I never really acted like a girl, I never liked pink or playing with dolls and girly things like that. And actually I was very happy about it because everything I’ve heard about girls is that they are way more dramatic and whinier than boys and those are things I hate.

“Hey” I heard a familiar voice behind me. I let out a little scream and jumped around. “Oh my god Harry you scared me” I laughed realizing who the voice belonged to. “I’m sorry” he smirked  “What are you doing out here so early?” “Just getting some fresh air y’know woke up early as always. What about you?” I smiled at him and signaled him to walk back to the burrow with me. “Heard some exited and some less exited voices from the twins room. I guess I figured out who was who.” I laughed, “Yeah they weren’t too happy about my beautiful morning show” I grinned at him, “Sorry for waking you up though.” “No problem, at least now I am the one who can wake up Ron by throwing a shoe into his face” he snorted “He really did that? I would’ve thrown him out of the window” I said and couldn’t hold back laughter.

Harry opened the door and we walked into a full kitchen. Mum, Dad, Percy, Fred, George and Ron were sitting at the breakfast table. “Morning” I said and felt the excitement of today when I woke up feel rush back into me again. “You’re a little late for the shoe thing. Even though Ron still doesn’t really look like he wanted to wake up” I whispered to Harry before we sat down next to the others. He just chuckled and said: “My moment will come”

“But mum Harry has never traveled by flea powder” Ron said right after my mum told Harry to get into the chimney. “Oh then you go first, Ron” she said and winked him to her. Ron stood right into the ashes, took the flea powder, said “Diagon Alley” very clearly and threw the powder into the ashes. Green flames wrapped themselves around him and he disappeared, I turned around to look at Harry and laughed out loud. His facial expression was incredible amusing, he looked like he had seen a muggle riding a broom (A.N. I tried to create a wizard-saying like the muggle one: “he looked like he had seen a ghost”) He slowly walked over to mum, took the powder and did just the same as Ron (A.N. no in my story he doesn’t come to borgin and burkes).

“Ron and Harry could you two bring Ginny to Ollivanders while I go to buy your books with Fred and George?” Mum asked after we all got to Diagon Alley “Sure, Mrs. Weasley” “Thank you, see you here in 15 minutes” she said and walked away with the twins. “Come on” Ron pulled me with him. In front of a little shop we stopped, “Ey, look there’s Hermione!” Harry pointed into a direction where a beautiful, smiling girl came walking from. “Ginny go in we will come after you” Ron shoved me into the shop. I slowly walked into the room behind the door. I smelled thousand of different woods and something different that I couldn’t define but that combined perfectly with the other smells and gave me a sort of happiness.

Draco’s P.O.V.

I was waiting for Ollivander to return with my fixed wand when suddenly the door opened and a red haired girl walked into the shop looking around and taking deep breathes as if she could save the smell, I also liked so much, up in her lungs. With her a little breeze of fresh air and a flowery smell entered the shop and a feeling of joy filled my chest. She turned around to see me, smiled and said with a soft but strong voice. “Hi! I’m Ginny. Ginny Weasley. You? Why didn’t I recognize that before?  The old clothes, the red hair. But I didn’t feel my chest getting filled with the usual hate I felt when I saw that other Weasley friend of Potters. Her smile had something different that totally made me forget who I was. “Draco. Draco Malfoy” I said grinning. “oh. Nice to meet you” there was a tiny change in her voice something like disappointment and I knew exactly why. Her father and mine both worked in the ministry and haven’t really always had the best connection. I felt something like anger rising up in my chest against my dad for destroying my friendships before they even started. “Take a picture,” I heard her voice from somewhere that seemed like far away “it’ll last longer” I realized that, while I was thinking all of this, I was starring at her. “Thanks I’m fine.” I grinned back.

“Here’s your wand, Mister Malfoy” an old man said and handed me my wand. In the exact same moment the door opened and a tall, blonde man with cold eyes entered the shop. He walked into the Weasley but didn’t bother to say sorry. “Are you done, Draco?” he asked with a bitter voice. “Yes, I am Dad. And thank you” I said to Ollivanders and began walking to the door. Right before I opened it I turned around and faced the ginger girl. “Bye then, Weasley” “Goodbye Malfoy” she said and a petite smile danced along her lips.

Nobody’s P.O.V.

“Argh I fucking hate this Malfoy family” Ron groaned while walking into the shop with Hermione and Harry. “We all do” Harry stated and Ginny had to smile. She didn’t really feel hate against Malfoy there was something different about him but she really despised his dad. “Why do you guys even hate him so much?” she asked. “You don’t know him, he’s horrible.” Hermione said “and hi nice to meet you I’m Hermione Granger” she smiled at Ginny and before Gin could say something or give her hand out for a shake Hermione hugged her. “Ginny. Ginny Weasley” she mumbled into Hermiones curly, frizzy hair. “Yes Ginny, she’s right you don’t know him he’s terrible.”

 But little did Ron know that all of them didn’t know Draco.

Yet.

Heyo :D

Yes I made some changes from the kind of way they met and blablablablabla I don’t care it’s my story I can write what I want to okay?!

This chapter is quite longer than the first one. Should I make my chapter like this or longer or shorter???? please tell me!

I hope you guys like the meeting scene of Ginny and Draco. I know that in the first few books Ginny is shy and silent but I want to make her sassy from the beginning bcos she’s my fave when she’s sassy hehehe :D
