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?
Someone once said, I would rather be a coward, than be brave. People hurt you when you're brave. People hurt you when you're a coward too. They see nothing wrong with kicking you when you're down. The only problem is getting back up.
******Slytherin Dorm Room******
"Hurry up she's waking up!" Ginny heard a girl whisper as she slowly opened her eyes. Looking around she saw the 4 girls who also stayed in her room at the edge of her bed.
"What do you want?" Ginny asked sitting up in bed.
"You're Skullie!" One of the girls squealed looking at her like she was some kind of god.
"What's it to you?" Ginny asked walking over to the wash basin and scrubbing her face.
"Well you're…..Skullie!" A blonde sputtered proving a point that Ginny didn't understand.
Walking over to her dresser Ginny pulled out a pair of hot pink mesh arm warmers. Digging a little farther she found a black wife beater with the words `Abandoned Children' printed in white. Opening the drawer below it she pulled out a pink plaid skirt with chains attached to it. Crawling under her bed she found the knee high leather boots and pulled them out with her.
"Why are you still staring at me?" Ginny asked as she put her hair in low curls pigtails with hot pink tips. The girls on her bed still hadn't moved.
"You're Skullie from Abandoned Children!" The brunet screamed as though Ginny didn't know her own identity.
"Yea, so?" Ginny asked clearly not seeing the point.
"They are trying to point out you are famous, which you already know. And that you are the biggest celebrity since Harry Potter," One of the girls said walking forward. She was taller than Ginny and had dirty blonde hair.
"Nunchuck, Amelia," The girl said extending her hand.
"Weasley, Ginny," Ginny said shaking Amelia's hand. He hand was soft and cold, like her mothers.
The other girls jumped up from the bed and came to introduce themselves to Ginny.
"Lara Flin," The brunet said giving Ginny a polite nod.
"Samantha Kingston," The blonde said giving a little giggle.
"Sophia Engle," The last girl with jet-black hair said extending her hand, which Ginny shook.
"Now with introductions over we need to get ready for class," Amelia said nodding her head towards the other girls.
"We will meet you in the common room down stairs in a little bit," Sophia stated guiding Ginny to the door. Giving a little shrug, she walked down the stairs and sat on one of the green couches. There was one person down there already.
It was the preppy boy from the bookstore. And he saw her.
"Hello Skullie," He said with a sneer looking at her choice of clothing.
"I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting," Ginny replied using the same tone.
"Oh I know all about you and your brothers who call them selves a band. Please I've seen house elves play better music then you guys," Draco smirked thinking he embarrassed her.
"I wouldn't say things like that if I were you," Ginny said pouting her lip and looking artificially innocent.
"I'll talk about your crappy band any time I want. Why wouldn't I?" Draco asked looking disgusted, like just talking of the band made him sick.
"You'll see why soon!" Ginny said sauntering over to the other girls who just came down the stairs. She had just reached the other girls when the sickening sound of a fist breaking a nose could be heard.
"That's why," Ginny said to Draco looking over her shoulder with a smirk seeing 5 guys try to pull Fred off of his unconscious body. Giving a shrug she followed the others out of the common room.
******Great Hall******
Ginny sat down between Amelia and Sophia. They seemed to have taken a liking to her, she hoped it wasn't only because of the fame.
She was glad to see Ron and Percy seemed to be getting along well with their house mates, she didn't expect to see Fred and George till later. George probable got in the fight after she left.
It was good to be able to rely on something.
"Skullie!" Amelia yelled waving her hand in front o Ginny's face.
"What?" She asked snapping out of her thoughts.
"What happened to Draco?" Amelia asked buttering her pancakes.
"Oh, he was making fun of my brothers so George broke his nose. Would you pass the butter?" Ginny held out her hands expecting the butter but heard a surprised gasp.
"He'll be fine don't worry!" Ginny said to the unspoken question before reaching over Amelia's plate to grab the butter.
"Fred has broke tons of guy's noses and they turned out ok!" Ginny said before slopping the butter onto her toast.
"Aren't you worried what those other guys did to your brother?" Sophia asked engrossed in the story.
"No, George most likely came down and helped him out by knock out the guys trying to take down Fred. Someone either had to stun them of get a teacher, but I doubt any one got a punch in," Ginny stated before taking a gulp of pumpkin juice.
"Gross! What is that?" Ginny asked spinning the liquid around in her goblet.
"Pumpkin juice," Sophia replied taking a hearty drink of her own.
"Do you have anything else to drink?" Ginny asked looking down the table.
"That would be a no," Amelia said pouring herself a glass. "But," she continued. "I can transfigure it into tea or water for you," She said transforming her own into tea.
"I'll have water please," Ginny said holding the goblet out to Amelia.
Ginny had just pushed away her plate when a schedule was flown in from a school owl looking down the list she read:

Ginny folded up the schedule and put it into her black backpack. Pulling out the head phones she turned on one of their older songs.
Communication is a lot like the wind,
When I speak, It's like no one understands and I'm left with empty hands,
Forever I can't speak, So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned,
Why is life such an issue in your mind,
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find, So hard to find
Don't forget to buckle when you fall,
Beneath the pressure of the seconds, when, your life becomes a screamer,
Staring at the sea, things become so small,
I want movies of my life, and pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall,
(Chorus)-
You say that I'm a dreamer,
I say you're a non believer,
Take out the light, take out the light, Start screamin',
I'm dreaming, I'm a dreamer, no one believes me,
And you don't either, So tell me what to do
Take out the light, Take out the light,
Take out the light start screamin'
Amelia and Sophia stood up to leave. Sophia offered her a hand up and they were on the way. She could already tell this was going to be one fucked up month.
