Chapter 3

Rating-R

Thanks to everyone who reviewed I really appreciate it, also I don't know whether Ginny's name should be Virginia or Ginevra, anyone who reviews can tell me what name and I'll take the one with the higher majority! Thanx!

Disclaimer- I own no one except for Natalie and Sara

Ginny concentrated hard she imagined every part of her body changing she first imagined all her hands and feet, next her stomach and back, and finally she imagined her head. McGonagall gasped and Ginny opened her eyes. McGonagall looked stunned because standing in the place of Ginny Weasley was a Nundu.

~~~~

Ginny kept replaying the events of the week as she sat at the dinner table; it was one of the best days of her life. It was a little strange to her how she was able to transform so quickly, but none the less she was ecstatic, and the look on Professor McGonagall's face was priceless. She picked up her fork, "Yum mashed potatoes my favorite!" she said.

Ginny got up from the table when she was done and went to sit by the lake; it was her favorite thinking place. She knew it was weird that she was able to transform that quickly, even with the help of McGonagall. She wondered if she had some extra help with it. She shrugged it off and decided to transform to see if it were really her doing it or not. She imagined herself changing and this time it happened instantly. Ginny looked down and realized she transformed and decided that she would take a little walk inside the castle. She knew it maybe stupid but Nundu's move silently so it was unlikely anyone would see her.

And so Ginny made her way into the cast le moving in the shadows when she heard something.

"Draco" whined Pansy "please?"

"No" he sighed "I won't do it!"

"I bet Blaise would!" Pansy said challenging him.

"So go ask Blaise!" he cried

"I already did" Pansy huffed "and he said no."

Draco snorted "Apparently Blaise wouldn't."

"Shut up Draco!"

Draco just smirked at her "Go away Pansy, just because you have a crush on Weasley (A/N I'm not sure if they'll end up together, I may do him and Luna…) doesn't mean I'm going to date you to get him jealous! Why would he be jealous, I mean it isn't as if you were ever dating…right Pansy?" He asked.

"No! But I wish we were, dating I mean" she sighed.

"Ugh, whatever" he said in disgust "go back to the common room, if other prefects see you they'll start taking off house points.

Ginny transformed back, "crap" she said to herself she had midnight shift!

Ginny patrolled the hall until midnight, and thank god no one tried to sneak out.

She went into bed and fell asleep.

~~~

She woke up the next morning and thanked god that it was Sunday. She looked at her Calendar and realized that Christmas was in a month, and that Hogsmeade was today.

She got up and got dressed and got her money out of her secret compartment, then went to breakfast.

Ginny started to put eggs on her plate when Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement.

"Students, good morning, good morning, as you all probably know Christmas is in a month and we have decided to throw a Christmas ball, we know that boys always have trouble asking the girls out so this year the girls will form a line and pick out of a hat so girls please start the line, every boys name is in here and the girls when they are done picking the boys name they will show that piece of paper with the name on it to Professor McGonagall and she will say it out loud. You must go with the person you have chosen there will be no repacks or trading, Professor McGonagall will write your name and the name of your partner down. So girls please form the line.'

All the girls scrambled to get to the front of the line.

Ginny was somewhere in the middle standing right in front of Hermione.

Soon it was Ginny's turn she stuck her hand into the basket and pulled out a name:

Draco Malfoy

Ginny gasped there had to be a mistake, but no how could there be she was stuck with Draco Malfoy. She showed the piece of paper to McGonagall.

"Draco Malfoy is Ms. Weasley's escort" she said.

Ron jumped up "what?" He bellowed "NO! My little sister is not going to the ball with some Slytherin shi-"

"Mr. Weasley" cried Professor McGonagall "do be quite and sit down, you sister chose the paper and now she is going to the ball with Mr. Malfoy" she said with a note of finality in her voice.

Ron grumbled and sat down as Ginny walked off the stage with a weird expression.

Hermione was next and she got Neville.

Luna Lovegood got Ron, and Lavender Brown got Harry.

As Ginny was walking out of the Great Hall to get on the carriages to Hogsmeade Malfoy walked up to her "I hear I'm taking you to the Yule ball" he sneered down at her.

She looked up at him "what's your point?" she asked.

"Listen Weasley you better look nice at Christmas because I have an image, and don't expect me to pay for your dress and things" he said

"I wasn't expecting it" she answered "only a gentleman would do that."

He glared at her, turned on his heel and walked away.

Ginny just smiled, score one for me she thought.

When she got into Hogsmeade Ginny went straight into Madame Malkins, she would be able to buy a nice dress this year because she made A LOT of money at her summer job.

She walked into the store and started browsing through dresses.

A woman walked up to her "Hello, can I help you?" she asked.

"Yes" Ginny said "I'm looking for a dress to wear to the Christmas ball."

"And who are you going with?" the woman asked.

"Me" came a voice from behind Ginny she turned around and there was Draco.

"Hello Mr. Malfoy" the saleslady said.

"Hello Sara" he replied "let the girl buy whatever she wants and just charge it to me." He said

"Yes sir" she said.

"I don't need your charity" Ginny hissed at him.

"I'm not giving it to you Weasley, as you said a gentleman pays for what his lady buys" he smirked then left her going on to look at the robes for men.

Ginny glared at his back.

"Miss" the woman called "would you like the old fashioned robe or the newer ones?"

"What's the difference?" Ginny asked.

"The old fashioned ones are just dress robes the newer ones would be like muggle prom dresses, and most girls like the newer ones better."

"Oh" Ginny said "I'll have the newer ones please."

"I think green would match the best as a color it goes with your hair, and possibly a silver trim because your dates in Slytherin, yes I like that idea" said the woman very quickly.

She kept throwing dresses at Ginny and once Ginny had at least 10 she told her to start trying them on. Ginny went into the dressing room and tried one on; she stepped out of the dressing room. Sara shook her head.

"No, I don't like that one so much choose another!"

After about 5 more dresses Ginny found the perfect one.

It was a forest green with long bell sleeves it was tight on her upper body but then when it reached the hips it flowed out. There was a slit to mid-thigh so it wasn't that revealing but the neck line was a little low but it showed just the right amount of cleavage. On the sleeves there was a little silver making it perfect Slytherin colors. Ginny in other words looked like a Slytherin goddess. Beauty was almost radiating off her as Natalie was shaking her head yes fervently.

"I'll take this one please "she said

Sara nodded "A wise choice, shall I wrap it for you?"

"Yes please" Ginny answered.

"Tell Mr. Malfoy that the cost came out to 112 galleons" she said.

Ginny nodded. 112 galleons was a lot of money she hoped he wouldn't get upset but then again he is a Malfoy.

She took her package thanked the woman and left the store.

"Now for Christmas presents" she said to herself

"Ginny" called out Natalie, Ginny's roommate and best friend. "I've been looking for you all day" she said.

"I was getting my dress" Ginny said happily.

"Oh!" Natalie exclaimed "can I see it? Please?" she asked

Ginny laughed "When we get back to Gryffindor tower, calm down" she said happily.

Natalie smiled "Did you buy presents yet" she asked?

Ginny liked to get the shopping done early, Natalie was more of a last minute person.

"Not yet I'm doing it now" she answered.

Very soon Ginny was done getting presents for everyone, she was debating about getting Malfoy a present for the dress.

"Maybe I should" she said to Natalie "after all he did by me the dress."

"Yes" Natalie replied "but you sort of forced him into doing that." She said.

"Yes but he still did it" she said.

"Oh fine" Natalie huffed "get the git a present.

Ginny laughed at her friends' expression. They went into Glassina's Glassware and Glass.

They were looking around when all of a sudden something in the far back corner of the room caught Ginny's eye. It was a small glass sculpture of a Dragon about the size of her hand. Its eyes were made from ruby's and its wings were outstretched as if readying itself to rise into the air, it was beautiful. Ginny looked at the price tag.

"Wow!" she said 224 galleons that was all she made from her job, she was lucky she still had that money left (She used the money her mother gave her on the presents) Ginny stared at the Dragon, she didn't know why but she was compelled to by it for Draco, and so she did.

They got back to Hogwarts and Ginny sat down next to Natalie to eat dinner talking about the Christmas ball. Natalie got Blaise Zabini who was not as handsome as Draco but still drool worthy.

That night both girls went to bed dreaming of the Christmas ball and two handsome Slytherin boys.

When Ginny woke up she was told that Dumbledore wanted to see her.

"How many times does he want to see me?" she grumbled quietly.

She walked to his statue said the password and this time she knocked before she went in.

"Come in" the old man called.

Ginny walked in looked around and there were Draco and Harry sitting on opposites sides of the room from each other. Ginny took a seat.

"Ah now that all of us are here we can begin" said the headmaster.

"As you all have found out you are in the prophecy so you all must learn how to cast stronger spells and be physically stronger, and when you are done all three of you will join the order."

"How do you know I'm not a death eater? Draco asked him a smirk on his face.

"I don't" said Dumbledore "but I will trust you anyway."

"Now" he said "I would like you all to meet your new instructor in the things I have just mentioned: Sirius Black

Harry's head snapped up "W-w h-how, that's impossible, Sirius, Sirius is dead isn't?" he said disbelievingly.

Sirius smiled down at his godson "no, I'm alive."

"How?" Harry asked again, "how are you here?"

And so Sirius told them.

"When I fell through that barrier" he started "I fell through blackness, it felt as if I was falling forever when all of a sudden I saw light I got closer and closer and then my mind went blank. But I remember something was pushing me back, it was giving me life again my time was not yet over it said, it said that my time had just begun, and so this time I fell but this time I fell through light, through music and beauty and at the end of all the light there was grass. I wandered for months looking for Hogwarts but trying not to be seen so I went into dog form, and finally two weeks ago I found Hogwarts. And that is how I am here today" he finished.

Ginny started at him and then smiled.

"Welcome Professor Black" she said.

He smiled back at her "Thank you Ms. Weasley" he answered.

And so that day began their training.
