All Who Wander

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The characters are JK Rowling's and the song is Good Charlotte's. Happy reading!

Description: AU Ginny just wanted to play with the band and get her family back together. Can a simple tour in Europe make things worse then they already are? She wanders, but is she really lost?

Don't think of me. Don't judge me. Don't label me. I am but an entity with in your consciousness that there is no title for.

I am but me, and that is all I know how to be.

Ginny walked back to the Slytherin common room still humming the song footloose in her head. Since they came to this stupid school her and Ron hadn't been able to spend much time together with all their stupid house rivalries.

"Ginerva," A voice called out her name sounding more like a purr than anything else.

"Who is there?" Ginny asked in a bored tone. All their ghosts and talking animals were beginning to wear on her.

Out of the darkness stepped Amelia Nunchuck her hair shimmering in the poor torch light.

"Now now Amelia, I am very sure that I would be very entertained with whatever meaningless banter you would produce with that gaping hole of yours, however I am very tired and want to sleep," Ginny started walking again but Amelia's arm shot out and stopped her.

"I don't know who you think you are Ginerva, but you are treading on dangerous territory here. Draco is mine and if you make any more moves on him , well then you will be how you Americans put it, 'sleeping with the fishes'. Got it?" Ginny gave a curt nod of her head but anger was rolling off her in waves. As soon as Amelia put her arm down she was doomed.

Ginny slammed Amelia into the wall behind them and held the struggling girl up with one arm as she pounded the other one into her face.

"I don't know who you think you are Nunchuck, but I don't want any of your pathetic British boys. I would think by now you get the picture to not mess with me," Ginny dropped her arms and Amelia crumpled to the floor. Walking away she heard the other girl's half hearted sniffles and inwardly she smiled. Yes pounding on someone was always a good way to release anger.

"Miss Weasley I assure you your deeds will not go unpunished. I understand that Miss Nunchuck started the confrontation, but that gives you no lee way to beat her to a bloody pulp," Ginny sat behind Dumbledore's desk listening to the speech she heard every time she got in trouble.

"Madame Pomfrey is doing her absolute best to fix Miss Nunchuck's face and you are lucky it is fixable. Next time you might give someone permanent damage…"

Boo Hoo Ginny thought slowly going through the cords of the new song in her head.

"Miss Weasley!" Dubledore's strict voice entered into her thoughts making her look up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Could you repeat that?" Ginny gave her best smile which still fell short. Letting out a small sigh Dumbledore repeated what he said.

"I have heard from other Slytherins that you are not exactly transitioning well into your new environment. Therefore I am offering you an opportunity to get your own room to help ease the transition," A sudden image popped into Ginny's head of Ron spending the night to stop his frequent fights with Potty.

"Where do I sign up?" The eager girl asked with a small smile.

"You do not need to sign up or a separate room, they are awarded to special circumstances," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Your new common room is just outside of this office behind the tapestry of the original village of Hogsmeade. Say the phrase "I need my peace," and the tapestry will swing open. Then just look around the common room until you see a door with your name on it," The older man watched with a small smile as the girl scrambled out of his office an to her new room. If only she knew the amazing destiny that was to await her.

Ginny walked into the lavishly furnished, yet empty, common room. With a small shrug she sat on the couch and dazed at the fire. Next thing she knew she was standing next to the twins playing a song she never heard before.

"Hello Hogwarts! I've loved my stay here and as a way to say good bye we wanted to play you one of our brand new songs," George set the microphone down and music started to play. Soon he began to sing into the microphone.

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are
Creeping about
These people are
Freaking me out (these days)

I just wanna live

"Now I think Skullie had something to say to a certain someone," George passed the microphone to her and whispered a quick good luck.

"Well, this is a strange thing for me to say, but I think I'm in love, but I'm afraid of this feeling because I can't control it. I want to know if this person feels the same way about me. If they do, will he please some to the stage?" The audience held their breath as she said this and suddenly parted as Draco Malfoy began walking towards the stage.

Ginny woke up on the floor of the common room not remembering anything of her dream.

I can yet be saved. Not everything is in despair. My knight in shining armor shall rescue me from my blank, sunlit prison, but he can't… not yet…

AN- PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!!!
