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?

He told me that he loved me and no one else mattered. But that was just a lie. He told me that he loved me as I was. But that was a lie too. He wanted me to conform to his standards and be normal. That was just too big of a risk for me.

******Ireland, Dublin******

The security guard escorted Ginny up to her hotel room. It was adjoined to Ron's, like they had requested. In 10 hours was their first international performance.

Ron came into Ginny's room via the side door. He saw her sitting on the plush window seat staring at the crowds below.

"What are you looking at Skullie?" Ron asked as he pulled a chair up to the window.

"Look at them," Ginny replied gesturing towards the crowd of fans.

"What about them?" Ron asked looking puzzled. They had seen plenty of fans.

"They are here to see us, and this is the first time I have ever set foot in Europe," Ginny answered with a rare small smile.

She stopped smiling when her Dad left. It's funny he left for a better life and ended up alone, depressed, and addicted to alcohol. He had always said she was his favorite; it hit her hard when he left.

Ron wrapped Ginny in a brotherly hug as they just stared out the window and watched the admiring fans.

***5 hours later***

Ginny pulled on a cut up and pinned together tank top of the Irish flag. She was mostly Irish, as many could tell from her family's notoriously red hair. Picking out a pair of baggy black trip pants she put on the out fit. Her hair was left down and her makeup reasonably dark. Walking down the hallway she came to Percy's room. Using the key to open the door she found him using a little gel to put his hair in place.

His outfit was to the effect of corporate meeting discovering a wild blender. A loosely sewn tie was strewn on his neck over a black and white button down shirt. He wore baggy black pants weighed down by chains.

"Skullie are you ready?" He asked seeing her in the background of the mirror.

"When am I not ready?" She sarcastically asked walking over and messing up his hair. He began to re-fix the spikes and she was left to do what she came for.

"I was wondering if tonight we could sing Hey Dad, I was thinking about him today and just got this feeling…….." she trailed off locking eyes with him in the mirror.

"Ok," he whispered as she turned to leave.

"You don't need him," he said to her turned back.

"I no," She replied. "And that's what scares me." She exited and wiped the fallen tear from her eye.

Walking down the hall a little, she entered the twins' room. They had decided to share a room, like they had done all their lives.

Opening the door she was greeted by the sounds of their first CD being blasted. They had obviously placed a silencing charm on the door.

George had his hair up in a Mohawk, where Fred's head was covered with a beanie. George wore a wife beater and baggie jeans and Fred had on a zip down red and black vest with black boy shorts. They looked perfect in her mind.

"Are you nervous?!" George screamed over the blaring music.

Ginny shook her head no and her hair madly whipped around.

"Good! We don't want you puking on stage!" Fred yelled while he applied his eyeliner.

"I'm going to see Ron!" She shouted right before she exited the room. Walking back towards her suite, she stopped a door early and walked into Ron's room.

He was already in a button down blue /black shirt and black pants. He was playing chess against himself.

The room was unearthly silent as she walked up and tapped him on the back. She burst out laughing when he jumped from the touch.

"Oh! I didn't see you there Skull," He said rubbing the spot she just touched.

"You don't have to worry," She said between giggles. "I'm not contagious." Ron tried his hardest to look mad but ended up laughing too.

Percy came in the room followed by the twins.

"Three hours till show time, want to go set up?" Percy asked eyeing the two of them suspiciously. Usually they didn't laugh.

"Sure why not?" Ginny asked following the others down to the limo. Soon they would be playing their first international show.

***3 hours later***

"Hello Ireland!!" George screamed into the microphone over the wild cheers from `Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous'.

"Believe me that I speak for the whole band when I say THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!" Wild cheers greeted the statement and George continued his speech.

"This is our first international tour, and hell it's our first time off of US soil. We hope you enjoy this concert and here's your next song, Hey Dad," Cheers faded as the instruments started and George began to sing into the microphone.

Hey Dad, where you been for so long?
Why won't you look at me?
Is there something wrong?

How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
Hey Dad

The crowd started cheering the second the song ended and yells of `Abandoned Children rule!' was shouted through the stadium.

That show was the first of many which occurred in England, France, Italy, Poland, and Germany. Little did they know that their last show would be most important.

I was so caught up in the fame that I let my guard down. I became weak, and weakness was never good. People hurt you when you're weak. Look what my father did……..

AN: Sorry these first two chapters are short and boring, but necessary for the rest of the story. In case you didn't catch it the name of the band is Abandoned Children. (AC) Thank you to ginnymalfoy21 my ONLY reviewer. Please review this chapter, it might inspire me to put up the next one faster.
