The flame-haired angel

"Er... Tom? Have you ever been in love?"

" Why you ask Gin?"

" Curiosity. I always talk about my problems and how my life is miserable: I must annoy you so much, hee!"

" No, I am not annoyed."

" Then?"

" Then what?"

"* sigh* Have you ever been in love?"

" Only once, she was most beautiful girl that I have ever seen, a little bit weird, but beautiful. I remember the first time I have her meet: the school was began since about a week and I was going in library when I have seen this heap of black lace and pink damasked silk fall down the stairs. The thing that hit me immediately was her back: two small angel wings were drawn on her shoulders and her flaming hair was picked in a messy bun. She got up and after have massaged her.... er.... back, she began to swear and threaten Peeves, a so unladylike behavior, he-e! Then I approached to help her and when she turned around, I felt my heart melt in her eyes as blue as the sky after the rain. They called her Vy. If she hasn't disappeared... never mind. "

Prologue: never trust a poltergeist!

Virginia Weasley waked up with a start, her breath was difficult and sweat drops flowed on her forehead: a nightmare, or better, a memory of her first year at Hogwards had wakened her up. Also after five years -within nearly a month she would have turned sixteen- the diary of Tom Riddle and the Chamber of Secrets memories tormented her. Oddly, this time the things were different: she had dreamed one of the few times that the old Tom had spoken about him, and in the specific case about his love life.

Shaking her head, Ginny looked at her clock: 07: 15 AM. Her roommates were still sleeping. < Good! So I could have the bath all for myself! > She thought with a smile and she closed the dream in a secluded drawer of her mind. After a good-awakening shower, Ginny admired her body with pride: she wasn't anymore the little, untidy and shy Ginny Weasley with freckles and red braids, but Virginia "Vy" Weasley, one of the most beautiful, sexy and wanted girls of the whole student body. A malicious smile curved her fleshy lips knowing that a good part of the masculine population dreamed about her breathtaking curves, her back-length red and smooth hair and her long legs and that their noses bled for her. It had stayed sufficient a whole summer in Egypt with Bill, and not only her body was completely in bloom, but also her style: various piercing bejeweled her delicate earlobes and her navel while two cherub's wings were tattooed on her back. After a last content glance, Ginny dried herself and began to dress: regular garments in all and for all except for the underwear and the shoes, she was particularly affectionate to her stringed Victorian black boots -she had baby-sited for the whole summer and she had buy them with her first pay. After an accurate make-up and have put the necessary books in her bag, Virginia Weasley was ready for a new scholastic day.

As every year, Main Hall was decorated for the Halloween party and the students awaited that evening's ball with anxiety. Ginny was so excited that she ate little and during the lessons she think nothing but to what would have happened. < If only the others knows what Dumbledore's surprise is.... > she thought regardless of the explanation of the Professor De Savoir's lecture about some Dark spells -and DADA was one of her favorite subjects! After lunch, outside the potions class, she crossed two boys: one of the two, a Slytherin with black eyes and hair, he signed her to wait with them.

" Hao Evan, Att..."

" Hi Vy! Ready for the great event?"

Att the Ravenclaw asked winking.

" Yeah, and I can't wait this evening!"

" Me too. I still can't believe that Dumbledore has given us the permission!"

Evan sighed. Little after two Hufflepuff, Xavier and Adrienne Nortmann reached them: the other students watched with suspect and incredulity the strange group, astonished that a Griffyndor and a Slytherin could have a civil conversation. Evan Zabini threw a spiteful glance to a group of second year while Ginny said with nonchalance.

" See us later, same place, same time: I want to define the last details and do a general rehearsal."

" We have rehearsed each day, Vy." Attilius Labour exclaimed painfully," My hands are aching only at the thought!"

" Would you want that this evening's performance is a disaster, Att?"

" Sis is right." Xavier hissed imitating his twin," we must be sure of ourselves."

" Well, see you in two hours and not forgets anything. Come on Att, Minnie is waiting us."

The five teenagers were said goodbye and parted.

Just the last year, Ginny and Evan had discovered casually to have a thing in common: the love for rock. Evan had found a Ginny's poetry which spoke about Tom Riddle -"Ol' freackin' Tom"- and he had composed a melody on the words: after a stormy beginning, they had decided to form a rock band, but some essential elements were missing. So the two of them left an announcement on the Message Board that since the half of the preceding year did nice show of itself in the Main Hall: in two weeks Attilius and Xavier and Adrienne were added. Ginny was the vocalist, Evan at the guitar, Xavier at the bass, Attilius at the keyboards and Adrienne at the drums: the "Phalangers" were born, and quite during the Halloween party of their sixth year at Hogwards, the "Phalangers" would have made their debut thanks to Dumbledore.

The lessons passed in hurry, and so the rehearsals: soon the five teenagers went back at their dorms and get ready for their debut. While she completed her make-up, Ginny hummed the chorus of her favored song:

Oh ol' freakin' Tom

Everyone hates you

But no-one as

I hate you!

I really hope

A Dementor would kiss you

But it's impossible 'cause

You'd beat the shit out of it!

She had written those verses with much feeling and she didn't care much if there were some rude words into. At 08:30 PM she was in front of the library with Adrienne and Xavier. Adrienne wore combat boots, a black miniskirt, a transparent shirt tied under her breast and a long her hide coat; her curly hair were gelled and held back by a bandana and her make-up had the intensity and the colors of traffic lights - red lips and yellow and green eye shadow. Xavier was completely dressed with old, worn-out, torn and dusty-like jeans and he wear nothing under his jacket. The Hufflepuff noticed the Gryffindor and a gush of blood got out his nose, but his sister noticed the reaction and handed him a handkerchief.

" Pig! Clean and behave! God Vy, you're gorgeous: how many hearts to you want break this evening?"

Adrienne teased winking. Ginny curved her garnet red lips in a malicious smile and arched an well-drew eyebrow: she was wearing her slightly puffy, calf-length, black lace and tulle skirt, her pale pink damasked silk corset which gave the impression that /everything/ is about to spill out -maybe the corset was too narrow, maybe she had too much flesh there, or maybe both- and her hair were tight in a messy knot, showing her tattooed cherub's wings in show; finally there was her trademarks: the Victorian boots, the ankh hanging at her neck and the Egyptian-like make-up. Soon also Evan and Attilius came: the Slytherin wore black pants and a high-necked jacket lined with dark green silk and his usual uniform shoes; the Ravenclaw, instead, a Hawaiian dust blue and white shirt, basket shoes the gray calf-length pants. The two boys had Xavier's same reaction seeing Vy, but Evan slipped a piece of haemostatic cotton in his nose so quickly that nobody noticed his bleeding. Att was studying the girl when he noticed a silver chain hanging at her waist.

" Vy, what's that?"

" Oh, this? Only some things that I always bring with me." she said pulling out her pocket a small box tied at the chain, "my diary, my 'Lindt excellence noir 80% extra fin 100% cacaos du Ghana,' my time-turner, some books, my kick-boxing set and then..."

" Practically you reduced your trunk."

Adrienne puffed with nonchalance. The five teenagers looked at each other and nodded: the moment of their debut had come!

They had to went down one last stair and they would have come in the Main Hall, but after a couple of steps they stumbled and tumbled down: they heard Peeves's laughter echoing clearly in the hallway. Everything became a blur until they land on the floor. Massaging her bruised bottom, Vy got up imitated painfully by the others: Evan, Adrienne, Attilius and Xavier were well conscious of what was going to happen and they took a safe distance from the Gryffindor.

" PEEEEVEES! YOU BASTARD, STUPID EXCUSE OF A POLTERGIEST!! WAITS THAT I PUT MY HANDS ON YOU AND YOU'LL BE DEAD MEAT!! "

Vy would have continued her curses if a hand didn't lay on her shoulder. Furious she turned and looked amazed the hand's owner.

" Er... may I help you, miss?"

Perhaps my Ginny's version could have taken you by surprise, but whoever has read my precedents stories knows that I like characterize the characters in an unexpected way. In the fanfic I've read, Virginia Weasley is described like a weak, innocent and shy girl: well, take off your head these ideas if you want to read my story: P
