The Old Ginny Weasley

That night Ginny Weasley was free to leave the hospital wing and she was dragged by Pansy Parkinson. When she went inside the third year dormitory, she fell into a chair and her hands and legs were tied to the chair.

"What's going on?" she asked

"Oh that's just to stop you from running away." said Astoria Greengrass

"Hi," said a girl which Ginny had missed completely in the rush. She was holding a pair of scissors.

"I'm Millicent Bulstrode and I'm going to be doing your hair." she said coming behind her. Delphine Greengrass gave her a thumbs up.

"What's about to happen?" Ginny asked

"Nothing, really, unless you count doing hair." said Millicent. She took a pair of scissors and took Ginny's hair.

"This is a mess." she said and snipped her scissors.

'Just sit back and relax." said Delphine

"I really don't think I have much of a choice." Ginny replied.

Millicent Bulstrode might look big and ready to hurt people, like her distant cousin Crabbe, but the one thing she knew to do perfectly was hair. Ginny didn't trust her with her hair, that's why so many measures had been taken to prevent her from leaving. The first thing they did was keep all the hair equipment in a tray which was held by Pansy. The next thing they did was lock the door to the dormitory. Thirdly Millicent started on Ginny's hair. She started combing it and then went with the scissors. 

Soon she felt a towel on her hair.

"Don't worry, but we just need to keep this on your hair for some time."

"Alright what did you do?" Ginny asked

"Nothing, your hair will be fabulous, just wait."

"So, before we continue, look at this." Delphine showed them the picture of Harry

Millicent and Astoria burst out laughing.

"I didn't know you were capable of this." said Millicent

"She did it all, even the red hair." said Astoria

"You know Weasley, at first glance you don't seem the pranking type but when you look again, I guess I was wrong."

"Thankyou?" said Ginny, not sure if it was a complement.

"Anyway I know the perfect way to show this, I will in large it and put it on the roof of the great hall."

"That would lead directly to me Delphine." Ginny replied grimacing

"What about instead of putting it in the great hall, we put a big version here, in the Slytherin common room so we can have that face see us for the rest of our lives." said Pansy putting a hand over her heart. Millicent shook her head.

"I don't fancy looking at Potter whenever I look up." she said frowning

"A badge." Astoria suggested

"Nope, it will still end up with me being in trouble." said Ginny

"I know, why don't we donate it to the Gryffindor common room." said Millicent

"I guess, but-" Just then their was some fizzling and Ginny could feel it in her hair.

"What did you do?" She asked

Millicent took out the towel and all the other girls stared at her in hirer. Ginny tried to get up, but she was still tied to the chair. Astoria gave her a mirror. Ginny took it, looked at herself and threw the mirror onto the other side of the room which landed neatly on Pansy's bed.

"Nice throw." she said. Ginny ignored her, instead she rotated the chair around to face Millicent. "Explain now." she said

"This is just stage one, everything will be alright." said Millicent

"My hair is blonde!" Ginny exclaimed, "Blonde!"

"I must admit blonde looks horrible on you." said Delphine. Millicent sighed turned the chair around and started working on the hair again.  Soon Ginny felt something cool come on her hair. Astoria showed her the mirror again and she sighed with relif. Her hair was red again, but slightly darker, like the picture she had of herself as a child.

"Now we just need it to dry." said Millicent, putting a shower cap on it. After some talking, Ginny's hair was finally complete. It was wavy and a bit more shorter but way better than before.

"You are a goddess." she said to Millicent

"Now that the hair is done, maybe we can go a bit extreme." said Millicent

"Oh no, what are you about to do?" 

Without knowing it, Pansy and Delphine were putting nail polish on Ginny's fingers. Millicent was doing makeup while Astoria was searching through Ginny's cloths, finding the shortest skirt possible.

"You will look beautiful." said Astoria, "But I can't find a skirt."

Ginny didn't reply, since Millicent was removing all the makeup she had put on. 

"We just need to wait for it to dry." said Pansy  alter a while and she and Delphine let go of Ginny's hands. She couldn't see what they did since their were cucumbers on her eyes. Delphine got up to let her sister look through Ginny's cloths.

"I'm telling you their is nothing, these skirts are too big. Why are you so short?" Astoria asked, disgracing a eleventh skirt.

"Let her be both of you." said Millicent

"Now you are sounding like a Granma." Pansy joked, Millicent shudder. 

"I hope not." she said, "Alright you can look." she added to Ginny

"I wish I could but my hands are tied." she said

"Right." said Millicent and removed the cucumbers. Ginny stared at herself, to stunned for words.

"That's me?" She finally managed to say. 

"Definitely." said Pansy. Ginny stared at her hands. It had green nail polish, but when you changed the angle it looked red and in another angle yellow and another one dark blue.

"How did you do this?" she asked

"Magic.' Delphine replied. Astoria shut Ginny's trunk with a loud, "Hm."

"And my face, you are a master at makeup Millicent."

"Actually that wasn't makeup, I just removed your make up you put on." 

Ginny stared at herself in the mirror for a moment and then said, "That's me!?"

"You are acting like you haven't seen yourself before." Millicent joked but little did she know that Ginny had never seen herself without makeup. It was like the old times but when had she started wearing makeup? When she saw celebrities who were flawless and that's how she started putting on makeup. She wanted to be like them.

"I can't believe it," she whispered, "that's me."


"Finally!" Astoria announced showing a small skirt. Ginny turned to face her. Astoria let go of the skirt, it fell lightly on the floor, and stared at Ginny open mouthed, "How...?" She asked. 

"Natural Beauty." Ginny replied with a small shrug.

"My parents are going to love you!" She exclaimed giving Ginny a hug which took her breath away, literally. Ginny glared at Delphine who was shaking with silent laughter.

"I think you should let her go, before she loses her breath. Then our parents can never adopt her."

"Right." said Astoria, letting go of Ginny. She took long deep breaths and then said,

"So are you going to get me out of this chair?"

The other girls exchanged looks. Ginny raised both her eyebrows, hoping that she was wrong on what was about happen

"About that, we kinda, um forgot." said Pansy.

"What?"

Thankfully, Ginny got out of the chair(you really don't want to know) and was back on her feet and in her dormitory alone. Her and Astoria were the only Slytherin girls in her year and Astoria wanted to have a word with Delphine.

Ginny was laying on her bed in the dormitory. She thought about Draco and chuckled. How was he going to react when he saw her. She really wanted to talk to him.

As if projected by her thoughts, the locket which Draco had given her began to speak.

"Ginny?" Draco said. Ginny was to shocked for words. One moment she was thinking about him and the next moment she was talking with him, or he was talking to her. Draco let out a sigh "I don't know why am I doing this, it's the middle of the night, I should really let you sleep, after all you are probably busy with Potter and chucked the locket somewhere."

Was that jealousy in his voice? Ginny laughed. She didn't know why but she laughed. Draco was startled and asked, "What?"

"Sorry, sorry but offcours I'm not busy and I'm never ever going to chuck the locket away." said Ginny. 

Was it possible to hear a smile?

"That's great then so how are you?" said Draco

"You are going to open your mouth when you see me." said Ginny, not answering the question since she wasn't sure how to feel

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, let's say a weekend with Potter can be interesting, listen closely because I'm only going to say this once..."
