The Trip Back

Part 1

Ginny walked up to her room that she shared with Ron, Harry, and Bill. She was mad because she wanted to share a bedroom with Fred, George and Charlie, but her mom said it would be best to stay with Ron and Harry since they were closer to her age. She walked over to her body-length mirror that hung on the wall and blankly stared at it. She learned to live with what she saw; after all, she did pick her looks. When people called her name, she remembered that she had to respond. She even picked her own name. She had waist length blonde hair, blue eyes, and her name was Jordan Scott. Everyone was in disguise now. Ron (Chris Scott) had blonde hair, and blue eyes, and Harry (Dan Serpico) had light brown hair, and hazel eyes. Quickly, with the snap of her finger, she changed back into the regular old Ginny.

"Ginny," Mrs. Weasley (Scott) shouted up the stairs. "Come downstairs. I need to talk to you."

"Okay, one minute," Ginny shouted back. She turned out of the bedroom and galloped down the stairs. She remembered two years ago when they had been hiding in Number 12, Grimmauld Place, and galloping down the same stairs. She never thought back then that she would have to go hide there again. Ever since June of the end of her fifth year, when Voldemort had defeated Dumbledore, all of the muggle-born, and muggle-lovers had gone into hiding.

"What is it?" Ginny asked as she walked into the kitchen and sat down next to Ron, who was next to Harry.

"Well, Ron, Harry and you haven't been to school in a couple of months, and I just wanted to get you guys back into school. I want to make sure that you all guys graduate when you're supposed to, so that way you can get a good job. Moreover, with your new identities, no one will know who you are. I am going to sign you guys up for a small wizarding school in East London."

"But Mum, how come we can't go to Hogwarts again?" Ron asked annoyed.

"I don't know if it's alright to go back to that school. There are so many memories that are there. You guys would be upset if you go there. And I don't know how safe it is," Mrs. Weasley tried to persuade them.

"No we wouldn't be upset!" Ginny argued. "We want to go back. Most of our friends are still there. Well, except maybe for Hermione, and Voldemort hating kids. But we still want to go."

"Yeah, I want to go back, too," Harry added.

"Alright," Mrs. Weasley gave in. "But don't tell your father, or he will throw a fit. Got it?" The three kids nodded. "Good. Now go pack your bags and we will be leaving sharply at 10:00 tomorrow morning." Ron, Harry and Ginny all ran up the stairs to go get their backpacks.

"I can't wait till tomorrow morning," Ginny squealed.

"Yeah, too bad that we had to miss the last month or two of 6th year," Ron added.

"I think that we should be glad that we are starting 7th year, and not 6th year again," Harry interrupted.

"And, 5th year," Ginny added as she squeezed another robe into her suitcase.

"What do you think that Hogwarts will be like now that Lucius Malfoy is headmaster?" Harry asked.

"Probably the only class is Dark Arts," Ron joked.

"Hey Harry," Ginny started, "are you going to try and kill Voldemort while you are there?"

"I don't know. There are a lot of death eaters there, and he is very powerful," Harry explained.

"I wish we could defeat him," Ginny said as she climbed onto the top bunk bed that she shared with Ron.

"Yeah, me too," Harry agreed as he climbed into him own bed. "Good-night guys."

"Good-night," said Ron.

"Good-night," yawned Ginny.

***

Ginny was the first one out of bed, but it was not long before Harry and Ron were out of bed.

"Hey Ginny," Ron started as he walked into the kitchen, "Um, I mean Jordan." He had noticed that she had already changed her appearance, so he decided to change to.

"Yeah, Chris?" she asked as she broke into a fit of giggles.

"Don't make fun of my name!" Ron shouted.

"Sorry," Ginny said as she recovered. "It's just weird not calling you Ron."

"Well, anyway, are you ready to go to Hogwarts today?" Ron asked Ginny.

"Of course!" she replied. "I can't wait."

"We better go get our suitcases so when Mum gets downstairs, we can leave right away," Ron suggested.

Ginny and Ron climbed up the stairs and grabbed their suitcases. They found Harry brushing his teeth, and he grabbed his suitcase too.

"Are you ready to go?" Mrs. Weasley asked as she got out of her bedroom.

"Yeah, we're all set," Ron said with a grin.

"Where's dad?" Ginny asked. "Is he coming?"

"No, he's ill and he can't make it," Mrs. Weasley explained. "I think it is for the better that he doesn't come either," she whispered. "Now lets go down and catch a bus!"

The four of them went down to the sidewalk and caught a knight bus. The ride to platform nine and three quarters was a bumpy ride, but they all got there in one piece.

***

"Now you guys make sure that you don't change back into your own selves at ANYTIME!" Mrs. Weasley pointed out.

"We know Mum," said Ginny aggravated.

"You told us that 5 million times," explained Ron. "And we know only to use our new names, even if we are by ourselves. We know. We'll do fine."

"Well, it's almost 11:00," Mrs. Weasley concluded. "You guys better hurry it up or you'll miss the train. Ginny, I mean Jordan, you go first. Then Chris then Dan."

Ginny ran towards the wall in between platform nine and three quarters. Immediately she was surrounded by wizards and witches. She felt so happy to be around other wizards for once. She knew now what Harry had to go through each summer, when he went to the Dursley's. She turned around and saw Harry and Ron come through, but she didn't want to sit with them on the train. She was Jordan Scott. A new girl. She decided to go try to make friends with her old friends. After she gave her trolley to a caretaker, she walked over to the door where most kids were getting in.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said as she bumped into another person. As she looked it was none other than Draco Malfoy.

"No, really. It was my fault," he apologized. 'Draco apologized to me!' Ginny thought.

"Well, you're going to Hogwarts?" he asked.

"Yeah," Ginny replied in a stuttered voice.

"I've never seen you before," he mentioned.

"Well, I came from...from...um...Sweden. We moved to London because, um...well...you see...there was...uh...there were many muggle-lovers there, and my parents couldn't take it," Ginny blurted out. She couldn't believe she did that. If they really did live in Sweden, and if they really did live next to muggle-lovers, her parents would probably make quick friends with them.

"Wow, harsh," he said. "By the way, I didn't get your name."

"Gi...Jordan," Ginny replied. "Jordan Scott."

"I'm Draco Malfoy. Well, I guess I'll see you on the train."

"Yeah, see you." Ginny's heart melted. Was she actually starting to like Draco? She couldn't tell because Draco must be on some kind of drug; or at least she thought. 'He's never this nice,' Ginny thought to herself.

When Ginny got on the train, she found an empty compartment. She took a seat by the windows, and reminisced about the other times she was on the Hogwarts express. Like the one time in 2nd year and all the dementors were on the train.

Suddenly someone plopped down next to her. She was about to tell Harry and Ron to find their own compartment, when to her surprise; she found that it was Draco sitting next to her.

"Hey," he said with a brilliant smile. Ginny's inside's twisted.

"Hi," Ginny peeped out. "I thought that you would be sitting with other Slytherins." She then remembered that Draco hated Gryffindor's. 'Why an I so stupid!' Ginny thought.

"I know that you're new her, so I'll explain. The four houses are now Malfoy, Crouch, Pettigrew, and Snape. They are all named after the four people who put the most effort into helping Voldemort. I never knew that Snape was pro Voldemort. My dad told me that he knew all along, but he couldn't say anything. It's too bad that Crouch and Snape were killed. Oh, by the way," Draco started as soon as he realized he trailed off topic, "I'm in Malfoy, obviously. I think that you could be in Malfoy too."

"How do get put into the houses?" asked Ginny curiously, knowing that they would have got rid of the sorting hat.

"My father, the headmaster, puts everyone into four different houses. All I have to do is tell him that I want you in Malfoy, and that's where he'll put you."

"Why would you want me to be in Malfoy?" Ginny asked without realizing that she was another person.

"Because you're beautiful, you look like your smart, and if you're going to Hogwarts, then you must be a pure-blood. And I'm really starting to like you." Draco pushed the hair away from the side of her face and leaned towards her. Ginny leaned back, but she eventually let Draco kiss her. Just as they started kissing, Ron and Harry walked in.

"What are you doing?" Ron shouted.

Draco immediately pulled back, and Ginny sat up straight. "Nothing," she mumbled. "Oh, Draco, this is my brother Chris and his friend Dan."

Draco waved slowly. "I better get going. I'll see you later." he blew Ginny a kiss, and left the compartment.

"What was that about?" Ron asked Ginny.

"Nothing, I was just talking to Draco," she mumbled.

"First of all, if that's talking, then I don't want to see kissing. And secondly, that was Draco Malfoy. Do you know what could happen if he finds out who we are?" Ron spilled out angrily.

"I know what could happen, and trust me, he won't find out." Ginny said getting annoyed.

"Ginny, Draco has been out to torture us ever since he first saw us! Why are you doing this?"

"You shouldn't be butting into my business, Ron! I mean Chris!" Ginny and Ron didn't say a word to each other for the rest of the ride.

***

"Hey, Jordan," Draco called as she stepped off the train. "I was just talking to my dad and he said that you could come into Malfoy house. He's even letting your brother, and his friend go into our house, too."

"That's great!" Ginny said excitedly. She gave Draco a hug out of spontaneous thought. "Hey, do you guys have quidditch here?" Ginny asked as Draco led her to an empty carriage.

"Of course! That's why they still had the houses split, was so that they could have four quidditch teams. Isn't it great?"

"Yeah," Ginny agreed. "It is great." For once Ginny didn't have to worry about her disguise, because she felt that she was Jordan Scott her whole life.

"So are you ready to go to Hogwarts?"

"Yup," Ginny said pleased.

Although, she didn't know what Hogwarts was like now.

***

When all the carriages arrived at Hogwarts, they all got out and went into the Great Hall.

"Hey, Draco, what is this room called?" Ginny asked as they walked to a table along the wall. They both sat down next to each other.

"They call this the Great Hall," he said as he put his arm around Ginny's waist. "They decided to keep all of the names of the rooms the same. It was too complicated to come up with so many names."

"That's pretty cool," Ginny said. She noticed two heavy-set boys sitting across from Draco and her; only she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

"Oh, Jordan, I want you to meet my two friends, Crabbe and Goyle," Draco said. Both Crabbe and Goyle nodded. Then they got back into their deep (but pointless) conversation. "Just to warn you, they are very thick headed."

Ginny noticed Ron and Harry walk over to her.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked Ginny as he sat down on the other side of her.

"Nothing," she said as she turned towards Malfoy.

"Gi...Jordan," Harry started as he leaned over Ron, "You're making a big mistake. He's not who you think he is."

"Yes, he is," she said hotly at Harry.

"So, Draco, why did your dad become headmaster?" Ginny asked as she ignored Harry and Ron.

"Well, he was tired of all the mud-bloods coming in and all those stupid muggle-lovers," Draco explained. "I was so glad when those Weasleys left. That was the best decision."

"No!" Ginny shouted.

"What are you talking about?" Draco asked.

"Well, I think that when the mud-bloods left, was the best thing," Ginny stuttered out.

"Yeah, I guess, but those red-headed freaks had to go," Draco said with a small laugh.

"Yeah," Ginny agreed shyly.

At that moment, Pansy Parkinson walked by Draco. Unfortunately, she noticed his arm around Ginny's waist.

"Draco Malfoy!" she shouted. He immediately retreated his am against his side. Slowly he turned around and stood up.

"Listen, Pansy," he started. Pansy started arguing with him, and he argued back.

"Excuse us, while we go have a chat too," Ron said to the other people who were sitting at the table, as he grabbed Ginny's arm and dragged her out of the Great Hall.

"Why are you hanging out with Draco, Gin...Jordan!" Ron shouted.

"Because I want to!" Ginny shouted back.

"Don't you see that he's making fun of you and Ron, I mean Chris," Harry asked.

"No, Harry," Ginny started. "Draco was making fun of Ginny Weasley. Not me. Not Jordan Scott. I'm Jordan Scott!" Ginny argued.

"He doesn't like you!" Ron shouted. "He likes Jordan Scott!"

"I am Jordan Scott!" Ginny shouted again. "Carpe diem, Ron! Aren't you tired of being picked on? We have new identities, and a new start! We will have friends now!" Ginny started to cool off. "Or at least I know I will. I don't know about you." She walked back into the Great Hall. Neither Ron nor Harry followed her. As she was about to approach the table Malfoy walked up to her, grabbed her by the waist, and brought her out of the Great Hall.

"What was that about?" Ginny asked Draco.

"Come with me, and I'll explain," he said as he took her by the hand and led her down a corridor. She started to get a little nervous. He led her up a long flight of stairs, and then up a ladder. Eventually they ended up on the roof.

"This is where I always come whenever I want to think," he explained.

They both sat don on the roof and gazed up at the stars.

"Anyway, me and Pansy..."

"Pansy and I," Ginny corrected.

"Yeah, Pansy and I were dating for a couple of months, but then I told her that I wanted to break up, because she's a push-over, and she thought that I was only joking, and that we were still going out."

"Did it have to do with me?" Ginny asked sheepishly.

"Sort of, but I would rather lose her than you." Draco said as he leaned towards her. He kissed her on the lips for a long time. Then Ginny laid down, and Draco leaned over her and started to kiss her on the lips again. He put his hand on her knee, and slowly crept it up her thigh, and tried to move it up her skirt, but she resisted. Then, he un buttoned her blouse, and started to kiss her on her chest, but she sat up.

"Draco, I'm not ready to do this," she said breathing heavy.

"Okay," he said with a smile. "Not now."

Draco led Ginny down the ladder, and through the corridor.

"Um, Draco, I think I'm gonna go to the library for a few minutes. I just want to refresh my memory of spells for tomorrow."

"Okay Jordan. I'll see you later." Draco gave Ginny a long kiss. "Bye."

"Ginny started for the library thinking of all sorts of potions, and what they could do. She had a big plan in mind, and wanted to make sure no one found out.
