I decided to wait in the room while the feast was happening. I didn't just want to sit down at the Ravenclaw table. I sort of felt like I needed to earn my place at the table. I wasn't sure if Ravenclaw would accept me, but I needed to try. I wasn't that hungry anyway. I tried to think of ways I could possibly win them over. I needed to show that I wasn't the same girl from a year ago. I wasn't sure how I would do that, but there would have to be a way. I was interrupting from my thoughts by the sounds of a door opening.

"Here we are." Penelope declared. She had a girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes with her.

"Am I seeing things right now or is that Ginny Weasley?" The girl asked. I had never met her and she still knew who I was. That didn't exactly make me feel good.

"Yes, that's her." Penelope replied.

"But she can't be in here. She's in Gryffindor." The brunette argued.

"Actually, as of today, Ginny has officially transferred to Ravenclaw." Penelope explained. "Ginny, this is Mandy Brocklehurst. I'll leave you two to get to know each other."

Penelope left and I had a feeling that things were about to get awkward.

"Hi." I declared with a blush.

"I didn't know that you could change houses." She said.

"I didn't either until Penelope told me about it." I responded. I decided to see if I could find some common interests for us. "So, do you like…Quidditch?"

I couldn't believe that was the best I could come up with.

"I'd actually love to play for the Ravenclaw team, but I don't know if I'm good enough." She stated. I couldn't believe that I got lucky with that one. "So, you were under the Imperious Curse, right?"

I frowned. I supposed that I would have to talk about it. We were going to be roommates, but it still felt odd opening up to a stranger.

"I don't think so." I replied. "I think it was more of a possession. I can't explain it. I don't really want to explain it."

"Well if that happened to me, I don't even know if I would want to come back." She admitted as she put her things on one of the beds. "Is it true that it was Voldemort?"

That had to be the first time that I had ever heard someone say his name, at least without shuddering.

"Harry told me that it was a spirit of his younger self." I answered. "Can we please stop talking about this right now?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to get to know you." She told me.

"Well there is more about me than just what happened last year." I pointed out.

"Then tell me about that." Mandy replied. "What else is there to know about you?"

I realized that there actually wasn't a lot more about me. I hadn't done very much. I told her about my family and how I was the first of them in Ravenclaw. I wished that I had more to tell her.

It was a little while before Luna came into the room.

"There's only three beds in here." She commented.

"Penelope said that she had to pull some strings to make this happen." I replied.

"Oh, hi, Ginny." Luna greeted. "I see you're in Ravenclaw now."

"So, what are we the outcasts of Ravenclaw or something?" Mandy asked.

"I don't think that's what Penelope intended." I answered. I could see why she would think that about me and people did seem to think Luna was weird. "Do you think that people don't like you?"

"My father was a Death Eater." Mandy admits. "I don't like people knowing about it, but it seems people always found out. I have to work my bum off to prove that I'm not a Slytherin. I guess you could say that people don't like me."

"Well I guess it looks like we all have something to prove." I remarked. "We need to stick together. I think the three of us can show people that they're wrong about us."

At that point, my stomach rumbled. I probably shouldn't have skipped dinner.

"I don't suppose you know any spells to make me some food, do you?" I asked.

"Just tell Professor Flitwick that you weren't feeling well during the feast, bur you're hungry now." Mandy suggested. "I'm sure that you'll be able to get something to eat."

I had to admit that I was a little embarrassed, but I went down and did it. I got some food that I could take back to the common room. However, everyone was staring at me when I walked in. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to eat anymore.

"Enough of this!" Flitwick interrupted. For such a small man, he really knew how to command a room. "Miss Weasley is part of this house now and I want you all to treat her with respect. Do you understand?"

"Yes, professor." The room chorused.

I then sat down and began to eat. It was still somewhat awkward, but the majority of the people stopped looking at me. One thing that I had enjoyed about Hogwarts last year was the taste of the food and that still remained true this year. I still felt kind of odd eating alone.

After I finished eating, I quickly returned to my room where Mandy was reading one of her textbooks and Luna was reading The Quibbler.

"So, are you feeling better, Ginny?" Luna asked. "I know what happened on the train must have been terrifying,"

"What happened on the train?" Mandy questioned.

"I got attacked by a dementor…" I replied.

"Oh lord, I still can't believe that they let the dementors on the train, much less here." Mandy replied. "I understand that they're trying to find this Sirius Black, but don't they know that they're dangerous to everyone else."

"Do you think that everyone could be wrong about Sirius Black?" I questioned as I began to change into my nightdress.

"How do you mean?' Mandy asked.

"I mean if he escaped from Azkaban, why hasn't he killed anyone yet?" I questioned. "It seems like something that a murderer would do."

"Well it would depend on how methodical he was being." Mandy commented.

"Could it also be possible that he changed?" Luna interjected.

"If he changed, why would he escape?" Mandy asked. "Why not just ask the Ministry of Magic for parole instead of knowing they would go away him?"

"Maybe he didn't think that he would be paroled." Luna opined. That was a theory, but I wasn't sure if it was the right one.

"I'm going to find more about this." I announced. "Mandy, do you want to come to try out for Quidditch with me?"

"I don't think that I'm good enough for that." She stated as she put her book on the nightstand.

"But you won't know if you don't try." I declared.

"I guess I'll go with you." She agreed. "Just promise me that you won't laugh if I make a fool of myself out there.

In the morning, I went to find Ron. I knew that we needed to talk. I could tell that he wasn't supportive of me being in Ravenclaw and I needed to talk some sense into him. I wondered if Harry could convince him to stop being a git.

However, he wasn't the sibling that I found first.

"There's our sweet little sister." Fred declared.

"I must say brother, she looks quite good in blue." George added.

"And is that a smile on her face?" Fred questioned.

"Do you two know where Ron is?" I asked. Even though they occasionally made me laugh, their humor got tiring quickly.

"I think I saw him over by the fountain." George answered.

I then quickly walked away from them, lest I have to deal with any of their terrible jokes. I walked outside and found my youngest older brother.

"What are you doing out here?" I asked.

"I'm looking for Scabbers. He's keeps running away ever since Hermione got that cat." He answered before he looked at me. "So, you really did it. You really betrayed Gryffindor."

"No, I did not betray them, Ronald." I argued. "I didn't really belong in Gryffindor in the first place."

"But, you were sorted into the house, Ginevra." He pointed out. I really hated it when people used that name.

"And I made a mistake." I stated. He gasped. "Yes, the Sorting Hat was going to put me in Ravenclaw if I hadn't wanted to be in Gryffindor so bad. I was left with people that I didn't know how to connect with and it got us where we are now."

He didn't say anything.

"And by the way, your rat probably headed to the kitchen for a free meal." I stated. "I'd check there first."

He then walked away looking angry. I could see that this was driving a wedge between my brother and I, but it would go away quickly if he just stopped being a stubborn git.

I then went to class. I had a bit of a different schedule this year. It seemed like second-year Ravenclaws had Charms first with Slytherin. I was not looking forward to that at all.

"What's with the new uniform, Weasley?" Tracey Davis asked me in the hall. "They kick you out of Gryffindor?"

"No. I left of my own free will." I explained. Tracey had bullied me the year before, but now I realized that I couldn't let her push me around anymore.

"I heard that you got attacked by a dementor on the train and fainted." She replied. "Though, if you were going to change houses, why not Slytherin. You are Salazar's heir after all."

"I am not." I argued.

"Not to mention how good of a liar you are." She added. "Claiming to be possessed to avoid punishment is brilliant. I wish I had thought of it.

At that point, I felt like I was going to cry. She knew how to get under my skin.

"They always put all of the bitches in Slytherin." Mandy interrupted. "Do you really think a Ravenclaw would be dumb enough to fall your attempt to get her to attack you so we lose points?"

"When was the last time Ravenclaw won the House Cup?" Tracey challenged. "In fact, when was the last time Ravenclaw won anything?"

"Right now, when I beat you to class." Mandy retorted before she took my hand the two of headed into the classroom.

"Thanks." I told her.

"I believe it was your idea for us to stick together." She said. We then headed to the tables and we each took a seat.

I was probably a little bit behind in Charms. I knew that I might need to do some extra homework to catch up. I was confident that I would be able to catch up quickly because Luna, Mandy and I had promised to do our homework together as much as we could. There really wasn't a lot we could do outside of school since we were only second-years. Ron was going to go to Hogsmeade, but I didn't care about that since I didn't really want to go anywhere with him.

After all of my classes were done, I decided to go to the library. I still had to focus on my mission. I was still going to solve the case of Sirius Black and look for anything that the Ministry may have missed.

So, Ron and Ginny don't exactly agree on the whole changing houses thing, but he'll probably come around eventually. Plus we met Mandy who is played by Lucinda Dryzek (see Pirates of the Caribbean) and Tracey who is played Sara Bolger. Please don't forget to review.
