your heads spin!

Chapter Sixteen:
"Let me get this strait," Ron said, sitting across from Ginny, Draco, Virginia and Drake in a deserted classroom. "When our Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy went into this parallel universe Virginia Malfoy and Drake Weasley came into this one. And now Ginny and Draco are back, but Virginia and Drake are still here as well?"
All four of them nodded their heads.
"Curious." Hermione said, staring at them.
"How are we going to get this fixed?" Harry asked.
"See," Virginia Malfoy spoke up. "I knew this lot wouldn't be able to help us. They're pitiful!"
"Why don't you just shut up and let them think?" Draco Malfoy shot back.
"No one tells me to shut up!" Virginia stood up.
"Well I just did, so shut up and sit down!"
"Stop it!" Ginny yelled.
Once the tension in the room calmed down, Hermione spoke up, "Ginny, Draco, when was the last time you knew you were in the other universe?"
"Well, I had just left the common room only last night to meet Ginny by the lake." Draco said.
"And I had dropped my things off in my room and no one seemed to care that I was in the Slytherin Tower last night too."
"What did you guys do last night?"
Ginny and Draco both exchanged a look as if to ask how much they should tell. Ron seemed to have seen the look, for he clenched his fists.
"We, um, staid the night in the broom shed." Ginny admitted.
Drake Weasley's eyes shot open, Virginia Weasley snorted and Ron stood up while Harry held him back.
"I'm not sleeping with him just to get back to my world!" Virginia shouted, pointing towards Drake.
"I didn't sleep with him!" Ginny yelled.
Hermione shook her head, "Could you think of anything else you did? What you talked about?"
"I told Draco that I had informed you of our predicament." Ginny offered.
"And?" Hermione said.
"And I took it alright." Draco continued. "We just-er-shared our feelings on this whole thing. We both just wished we could go back to our original states."
"Do you remember the last time you were yourselves? Before you traveled to the parallel universe?"
"Yes!" Ginny piped up. "Fred and George had played a horrible trick on me-"
"And I wished I could be an only child with no money problems." Drake finished.
"And I had a fight with my Father and I wished that I could have a family that noticed me." Draco said.
"So, in order to get back, you just have to wish you were back."
Everyone stared at Drake and Virginia, as if waiting for them to just disappear. Drake turned his gaze towards Virginia, who was staring at her fingernails. Virginia noticed the silence and looked up.
"What?" She asked, puzzled.
"Well, don't you want to go back?" Ginny asked.
"Of course I do." Virginia said, but the stares just hardened. "Ok, ok, I think it's kind of nice to have a clean slate-not that it wouldn't stay cleaned." She began laughing. "I mean, come on, I have the whole of Hogwart's male population drooling over me, and them thinking I'm a nice girl."
"Boys don't drool over me!" Ginny shouted.
"You're so blind!" Virginia sounded exasperated. "Every guy who has a pulse knows you-me-we're beauties. They're just too scared because Ron is your brother and they think you have some silly crush on him." Virginia pointed towards Harry.
Ginny couldn't believe she never noticed this before. Was it possible that guys noticed her? She just couldn't tell because she didn't want to believe it? This brought on another thought.
"What have you been doing with my life? With my reputation?"
"Oh, well, nothing too risqué."
"What?" This time it was Ginny who stood up and was about to pummel Virginia.
The commotion was so loud that Hermione had to cast a silencing charm on everyone. Once they realized their shouts weren't being heard, they stopped.
"Well, now that you know," Virginia said, sitting back down. "I don't want to be here any more. My covers blown, might as well go back."
"Seriously?" Drake said. "You want to go back now?"
"Yes!"
Something astonishing began to happen. There were no windows in the classroom, yet a slight breeze was teasing their senses. Drake and Virginia both began to fade slowly until they finally were only a memory.

"Look, I'm sorry about this, but I wasn't myself." Ginny said to the forlorn looking boy in front of her.
That was probably the tenth time she had to say that sentence. Boys she had never even paid much attention to before had come up to her, reminiscing nights Ginny just couldn't remember. She had turned them all down, and all for a secret hope.
The boy left and Ginny was free to continue on her way. She had reached the library door and opened it wide. Searching the faces in the library she finally saw the one she wanted. She walked towards the table at the far side of the room and sat down on the opposite side of Draco. He looked up at hearing someone nearing, then leaned back in his chair.
"Enjoying your life?"
"Yes!"
There was a short pause before Ginny said, "Remember last night?" Draco nodded. "Well, I know that now we're here, in our world, you probably are thinking that it was stupid. And I just wanted to say I understand." Ginny gave a weak smile.
Draco studied Ginny from where he sat, then said, "You are such a liar!" Ginny looked shocked. "If that was true, then how come you just blew off every guy Virginia had reeled in for you?"
"How did you know that?"
"I know everything," Draco said, leaning in closer. "The fact is, I don't regret it one bit, and now that I'm here, I wouldn't mind spending another night in that broom shed."
Ginny began to blush slightly. "Well you'll have to do it alone, because it was bloody cold!"
Draco began to laugh. "I'm sure we could find some place in the castle."
"I don't think so!"
This conversation continued on the same strain for some time. The magic in the air sensed the contentment and was proud of its accomplishment, ready to move on to other people and other wishes.
