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?

I was listening to the radio today. A song came on that made me think of him. What's forever really for it asked. I know the truth. Forever is the amount of time it takes to fall in love, and then have your heart ripped out and cast aside. That's forever.

******Band Practice Room******

"So how was your first day of school?" Percy asked Ginny as he looked at the new bass the school had supplied him with.

"It was ok," She replied. Her fingers itched to play a song on the new guitar. It was black with red accents. Like her.

Fred and George entered the room laughing about something or another, but stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of all the new equipment.

"Wow, where did," Fred started.

"This stuff come from?" George asked finishing the question.

"I dunno, it was here when we got here," Ron replied spinning the drumstick between his fingers.

"Who care where the shit came from! Are you guys ready to practice?" Ginny asked slinging the guitar on.

The others scrambled to their positions

"My Old Man!" Ron screamed clicking his sticks together for a starting beat.

I don't know much about, too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar doing himself in
I know I got that same disease, I guess I got that from him

Someday he'll wish that he made things right (made things right)
Long for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife)
Remember the days he had everything (everything)
Now he's alone and miserable again

"So what happened after I left the common room?" Ginny asked the twins as she walked over to the mini fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Oh that," Fred said letting out a snicker.

"Well I came down and helped him with the losers trying to take him down," George said nudging Fred.

"And then some really hot chick came down asking for breakfast escorts and we willingly obliged," Fred said in a frivolous bow gesture.

"But you had already left," Finished George adjusting the microphone stand.

"Oh, some girls wanted to leave so I went with them to my next class," Ginny said as the twins gave and understanding nod.

******Library******

Ginny sat with Fawn at a table in the library as the Gryffindor girl tried to teach her the transfiguration lesson.

"So do you like Colin?" Ginny asked trying , and failing, to change the book into a tea pot.

"Yea, he's a great guy a real friend," Fawn stated before grabbing Ginny's hand and twisting it into a different pattern.

"The movement is more like that," Fawn said letting go of the hand.

"Thanks, but I didn't mean if you like Colin like that. I meant like a boyfriend," Ginny stated making the book into a leather bound kettle.

"OH!" Fawn said letting out a little gasp. "Is it that obvious?" She asked, her fair skin getting a light blush.

"Only to really observant people," Ginny stated finally making a pot.

"You two should go out," She said as she watched Fawn turn the pot with all her hard work back into a book.

"Colin doesn't like me like that," Fawn said with a small smile.

"How can you be so sure?" Ginny asked successfully making a kettle on her first try.

"I don't know……. Besides I'm dating Draco!" The girl exclaimed as though the idea had just popped into her head.

"Break up with him, he's a loser any way," Ginny stated pulling out parchment and the teal ink. Fawn had convinced Ginny to do her homework in wizarding supplies. Why? The world may never know.

"I don't know. We don't even know if Colin likes me!" Fawn whispered pulling out her own parchment and hot pink ink.

"Hold on," Ginny said getting up, opposite of Fawns request, and walking over to Colin.

"Colin." Ginny said tapping the boy on the shoulder.

"What?" He snapped looking up from the thick book on his lap.

"Do you like Fawn?" She asked carefully examining his face.

"No!" He grumbled getting a little blush on his cheeks.

"You are such a bad liar," Ginny snickered walking back to Fawn.

"He likes you," She stated falling into the wooden chair.

"How do you know?" Fawn asked her eyes glistening with excitement.

"Just trust me," Ginny said changing the book and pot back and forth 6 times in repetition.

"What should I do?" Fawn asked casting a glance to Colin.

"1. Break up with Draco. 2. Go to Colin for comfort after your `evil' boyfriend breaks up with you. 3. Get asked out." Ginny said counting the steps on her fingers. Fawn just nodded her head a huge grin spreading across her face.

"I'm going to start right now!" Fawn said running out of the library. Ginny let out a small smile remembering when she was still like that.

******Flash Back******

"Daddy!" Ginny squealed running across the school playground to her father.

"Hey Skullie," He said picking her up in a huge bear hug.

"Are you ready to go home?" He asked taking her pink Strawberry Shortcake backpack.

"Yes Daddy, I'm ready," Ginny said crawling onto his back for a piggyback ride.

"Ok baby I'll take you home," Her dad said starting to walk away from the school.

"You're always going to pick me up from school daddy right?" Ginny asked snuggling into the hood of his sweatshirt.

"I'm always going to pick you up Skullie, I promise baby," Her father said walking to their apartment 3 blocks away.

******End******

Her dad didn't pick her up from school anymore. He stopped when he left them. Sometimes they lied and said her father died, but the truth was he left them and they were dead to him. Ginny walked into her dorm room to see a scroll above her bed reading `Gryffindor Lover'.

Why was there so much tension in this school?

She had just gotten into a black camisole and black plaid pants when the door slammed open.

"Weasley!" The preppy boy, Draco, came in screaming.

"You made my girlfriend break up with me!" He shouted his gray eyes flashing with anger.

"I didn't make her do anything you moron," Ginny stated looking through her trunk for her green nail polish.

"You egged her into doing it!" He spat back slamming the trunk closed to get her attention.

"I just pointed out other options she had in her love life!" Ginny shouted pushing Draco away from her stuff, "And don't touch my shit!" She screeched.

"I'll touch your shit if I want too!!!" He screamed pushing her against the wall. Putting his hands on either side of her head, he leaned in and kissed her. His lips touched hers leaving shivers of electricity when he pulled away.

"What the hell was that?" Ginny asked trying to regain her composure. She wasn't supposed to be surprised like that!

"I'll be around Skullie," Draco said walking out the door leaving a stunned Ginny behind.

************************

If I had stayed out of Fawn's business, I wouldn't have been in that position. But Draco would give me what I wanted. He would make sure I was accepted, taken care of, loved. That's all I've ever wanted in life, to have a family and be loved. But all the love gone wrong has turned my world black.
