Chapter Two - A Strange Encounter
I know I wrote earlier today but I got an idea and wanted to write about it. Even though, nobodies read this yet...
------------------------------
Ron had broken his arm after falling down the Burrow's stairs. Ginny of course thought he was being very clumsy and Hermione was worried out of her mind. Harry on the other hand was quite calm about it and let the red head sit there while Hermione inspected the damage. Arthur was at work and so Molly flood everyone to St. Mungos for it to be fixed.
So, that was where they all were. Hermione fidgeting from worry about her boyfriend, Harry calmly sitting there with the Daily Prophet in his lap, Molly talking to a few of the others in the waiting room, and Ginny. She wasn't really doing much until she saw a trio of brunettes walk in. A man looking to be an adult, a girl she recognised as Daphne Greengrass, and a smaller girl with a giant scar up her arm.
How'd that get there, Ginny thought to herself. The second girl looked to be about a year younger than Ginny and... kinda... cute? Ginny was startled by this thought. There was no way she would be attracted to a, girl! But, she couldn't stop looking at her. Ginny counted the girls freckles and followed the scar to find it went from the back of her hand to her shoulder.
She then notice the bruises and tiny cuts on her legs. What happened to this girl? Ginny was scared of the next thought that came to mind, she noticed the older man had an annoyed look on his face. She didn't want to jump to conclusions, but she couldn't help but wonder. It was certainly weird, but the weirdest thing was the look of shame on her face and the look of fear on Daphne's face.
"Ginny!" Harry clicked his fingers in front of the young red heads face, "What were you looking at?"
"That girl," Ginny said with concern, "she's covered in cuts and bruises."
"Okay..."
"Well, her father looks annoyed, the other girl looks scared, and then she looks ashamed."
"Oh I see what you mean. Isn't that Daphne?"
"Yeah. But I don't know who the younger girl is."
"You wouldn't, she's a year younger than you."
"So, that would make her sixteen."
"Yep. Her names Astoria Greengrass. Kinda weird in my opinion."
"Why?"
"The food she eats is weird, she never goes to flying class, not to mention the constant visits to the hospital wing."
"Why do you think that is?"
"I dunno. Anyway, Ron's released we're allowed to get our school supplies now."
"Oh good!"
They went to Diagon Alley, but Ginny couldn't stop thinking about the girl in St. Mungos. It didn't help that she saw people with a similar hair colour everywhere. It wasn't until they were getting their books that she saw the family again. Astoria seemed better... but still had a bandage all around her arm. Ginny decided to go up to the girl being the brave Gryffindor she was.
"Hi! I'm Ginny, Ginny Weasley," Ginny started.
"Hi..." the young brunette looked rather shy and timid, "I'm Astoria Greengrass."
"Nice to meet you."
Astoria looked at the other girl strangely. almost as though she wanted permission to speak.
"What happened to your arm?" when Ginny asked this question the older man from earlier stepped in.
"I'm sorry but, who are you?" he drawled in a clearly annoyed voice.
"I'm Ginny Weasley sir."
"The blood traitors. Come on dear we have all we need."
"It was nice meeting you!" Astoria yelled as she was pushed out of the shop by her father with her sister trailing behind.
Ginny thought this was quite weird, seeing as the man only interrupted when Astoria's injury was mentioned. She knew she didn't have all the facts but it was quite suspicious. (Mr. Greengrass is vice president of the sus club.) How could someone so sweet and gentle be the child of such an arrogant prat!? And then there was also the no mother factor that seemed rather odd. Although, she was there without her father so it wasn't too weird.
Once the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione had finished their shopping they all went back to the Burrow. School was starting in a few days and Ginny had been elected prefect so she already had a lot on her mind. Even so, her mind kept wondering to the nice girl from earlier. She hoped they would meet again but knew she'd have to wait a while.
-------------------------------
Chapter Two is done. And if you are wondering who the president of the sus club is it is Lucius Malfoy. Just so yah know. I seem to have a thing for writing at 10 because that is the time. (-_-) Anywho, I was bored and wanted to add this. Thank you!
