* Chapter #1 The Beginning
“There is a cosmic dance of creation”
Things had not been so bad, lately. Fred and George had agreed to let her help them in their shop over the summer, and she had definitely grown a few inches. She was a little over the height of five feet six inches now and, as far as Ginny Weasley was concerned, it was more than fine.
She met the twins on her way upstairs, and noticed that they were carrying armfuls of what looked like mashed, sticky lumps of wet paper. “Mum’s in the kitchen,” she said, before they could open their mouths to ask. “Better Apparate, she’s not too happy.”
Molly Weasley would not be, of course – not when she knew half a dozen members of the Order were coming to dinner, and she had a bare half hour to cook a scrumptious meal, not only for them, but also her brood of seven kids. Not to count Harry and Hermione – both of whom had come over for the summer – and a tired Mr. Weasley.
Fred and George had other things on their mind, though. “I’m not sure if we can Apparate with all this in our arms,” Fred said, looking slightly worried. “Is she really that angry?” Ever since their shop had proved itself such a massive success, Molly Weasley had stopped trying to convince them to give up their ideas of a joke shop, and return to Hogwarts; but a spell of Molly-Weasley-bad-mood still meant that caution was required.
“More than you know,” Ginny replied, her eyes glinting as she surveyed the supplies in the twins’ arms. “What are those anyway?”
“That’s classified,” George said, looking smug. “We shall see you... later.” He turned to Fred, and there was a certain sparkle of mischief in his eyes that Ginny did not fail to notice. “Shall we give it a try then, George?”
Fred nodded. “Indeed, brother.”
There was a crack, and the two of them disappeared into thin air. Ginny shook her head, using one of the gloves in the pocket of her jeans to pick up a portion of the paper-lump that had fallen out of Fred and George’s laden arms, when they had taken to Apparition. On closer inspection, it looked like snow frozen in place, and it shimmered when she held it up to the light. A sudden urge to re-examine it later, overwhelmed her and, wrapping it in her glove, Ginny stowed it into a back pocket of her faded jeans.
It was late in the afternoon, and she was looking forward to a nap, now. Today had been her last day helping the twins with their joke shop, for tomorrow would see the Hogwarts Engine whisking her away to her second home. Her mind still on the shop, she made her way into her bedroom – it was small, made to seem smaller by a massive poster of her favourite quidditch team adorning an entire wall – and was surprised to see a tawny owl perched at the window-sill, looking slightly dazed as if it had collided with the transparent window-pane, in an effort to hop into the room.
“You poor thing!”
The owl hooted rather faintly in response. I f it had been a person, Ginny thought as she crossed the floor and opened the window, I would have thought they were drunk. The bird hopped in, tried to rub its head against her hand as she stroked it, and then held out a leg. Ginny quickly untied the envelope attached to it, and was surprised to see that it bore the Hogwarts crest. Did this mean that she was in trouble? Sure, the last thing she had done before returning home for the summer was to turn Millicent Bulstrode's hair a flaming pink but, surely, Dumbledore would not write to her parents now, now that the holidays had pretty much come to an end.
“You won’t find out if you don’t open it, you know.”
Ginny turned; the speaker was the oval-shaped mirror mounted on the wall opposite. “Thanks for the info of the century, mirror man,” she said, shaking red locks out of her eyes as, with a sparkle in them, she tore open the envelope and plunged a hand outside. Something golden and scarlet fell to the floor, something golden and scarlet and rather metallic. What followed next was an exclamation filled with clear surprise.

“Each look, each collision creates different things.”
I have to say, I luff this quote. It's very true, and I love how you use it so that it has both a figurative and literal meaning. Clever use of words, Maxo! Quote:
“You mean –”
He inclined his head.
I luved this bit! It shows his personality, his style. He's had a rich upbringing hasn't he? You toterly depict that through his actions! Quote:
“You look disturbed, Weasley. Anything the matter?”
Just look at him! What a question to ask when she's pretty much..... out-of-her-senses with sudden fear! LMAOZ! Quote:
“I know I’m exotically handsome, but I don’t date blood-traitors, Weas –”
Oh my! He's too awesome! I luv how arrogant he is..... it totally gives him a huge heap of style! Very well-written! Quote:
“You think I’m pretty?”
“SHUT IT.”
Luvvvvvin' the chemistry.  Quote:
Ginny wondered, for a second, if he was amused at her, or at the fact that he had made her blush.
Do I see the hint of ... OTHER things? Between the lines, you're building up the romance. Clever, Maxo! Very clever. I lyk that!*pets* Quote:
“Only one way to do that, isn’t there? Let’s find some humans – if they exist, and if intelligent apes aren’t what made these buildings.”
  I never thought of that! It really is a very scary prospect! 
But amazin' chapter! I luved how long it was too!
Rock on chicka! You just outdid yourself. <33333333
Love,

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] Chapter #6 A Brief History of Time
“Terrible is the unmeaning of silently falling everywhere.”
They walked on for about five minutes, during which they saw nothing but donkeys pulling carts and a few, stray kittens when, rather suddenly, they came upon a niche in a wall and the noise of conversation, the shadow of the former blocking out the cause of the latter. Recognizing English, Ginny brightened up and was about to walk forward, when Malfoy shoved her, very roughly, into the little half-cave in the wall.
“What do you think you’re doing –” she began angrily, sparks shooting out of the tip of her wand, but he clapped a hand to her mouth.
“Shut up, Weasley,” he said, keeping his voice low. “We don’t know the times we’re in, we don’t know the place we're in, you can’t just go barging into a crowd of people – if those are people, not apes.”
She shivered and suddenly pulled closer to him and, giving her a withering look, Malfoy stepped away from her. “If you touch me again I’m going to hit you,” he hissed and then, before she could snap at him, he had stepped, outside the little exedra, and into the open sunlight.
Angry though she was, curiosity got the better of her, and Ginny craned her neck very slightly to see what he saw - an open ground lay, she realized, in front of her, its edges misty in the far-off distance. It looked as if it were being used for the kind of fair older times saw - as far as she could see, stretched shaky stalls, and a noisy hustle bustle prevailed.
“Excuse me, gentlemen, can you tell me the date?”
Ginny’s mouth formed a surprised O – Malfoy’s voice had changed completely as he had said those words. It was no longer a cold drawl, but a responsible, even gentlemanly type that could win instant reliability. The two men he had addressed, though, glanced at him with suspicion. It’s his robes, Ginny realized instantly, her heartbeat quickening. They’re suspicious of his robes. -- The two men themselves wore a garb that was both much simpler [that could be explained, of course, Malfoy always worse expensive] and coarser. At least they’re human, she thought, with a sigh of relief. At least they’re not wearing leaves.
“The date?” One of the two men asked, and he exchanged a look of suspicion with his friend. “Do you not know that date, man?”
Ginny had to admire Malfoy’s knack for not showing emotion, especially fear or nerve: he smiled innocently, and nodded. “I’m afraid so,” he said. “I come from a way far off, and it has taken me a lot longer to reach than I expected.”
The men’s suspicious did not seem too lessen, though the one who had been speaking was considerable enough to reply with, “October, the thirteenth, fifteen hundred and thirty-two.” Medieval times, Ginny realized with a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. From what she had read of those, she knew the people of that age were deeply suspicious of anything out-of-the-ordinary -- and Malfoy, with his swirling black robes and expensive cologne, must seem anything but ordinary to the men he was talking to. Then she heard the second man, the one who had been quiet till now, speak again,
“Do you come to visit the fair, man?”
The fair? But if Draco was puzzled, he did not let it show. “Many come to visit this fair, do they not?” he asked, and his tones were casual/
“Of course,” said the first man, rather irritably. “It’s the most famous fair of the year, man. Your eye colour,” he went on, his eyes narrowed. “Where are you from? Up north? They have blue eyes there. Though –” and he narrowed his eyes again, this time more suspiciously – “I have not seen any with the same colour of eye as yours.”
“Up north indeed,” Malfoy agreed jovially, ignoring the man’s last remark. “I wished to sell at the fair, but I was robbed on the way.” If he had hoped this would garner sympathy from the men, it did not. They muttered, then moved away and, seconds later, Ginny pulled her head back as Malfoy returned.
“Well, that didn’t go too well,” he said, though he did not look irritated. If anything, he looked pleased that he had managed to extract some information from the two, irritable men. “But at least we know we’re medieval fodder, now.”
Ginny grimaced, and sat down. “This isn’t good, Malfoy, and it’s all your fault.”
“I thought we agreed you were going to act the whinging, little blood-traitor that you are, Weasley.”
She glared at him, and stood up again. “Do you realize what you’ve landed us into?" she asked, throwing back her hair. In the sunlight that streamed into the niche, it glinted like fire, streaked with deep aurum. "We’re in a time whose people are known in Wizarding History for their suspicion of anything unusual, a time where witches and wizards were burned at the stake.”
Malfoy grinned. “No one’s going to waste fuel burning something like you, Weasley.”
If looks could kill, Ginny’s would have sent Malfoy’s into a coma. “That’s not my point!” she snapped, and it was a wonder sparks did not shoot out of her eyes. “They’re already suspicious of your robes and eyes, Malfoy –”
“– They probably don’t want their egos wounded when their women line up to get a look at my beautiful face –”
“– and I can only imagine what an uproar my dress and hair would cause –”
“– Yeah, that jeans looks like it’s been handed down from your father –”
“– which means we can’t just walk out of this place, and into that fair - those people won’t believe it’s a coincidence that two people so different from them, are together. You’re going to be at the stake before you know it, and I’m going to follow!”
Giving the taunting a [momentary] rest, Malfoy considered this. “Jackpot, Weasley, you’re right for once in your life,” he drawled finally. “You’re going to be at the stake – of course, they’re probably going to let me go, I’m far too handsome for a fire – and that would be the end of your miserable, bitty life.” He smirked as he spoke, then yawned and sat down.
“What are you doing?” Ginny demanded angrily.
“Thinking.”
“Well, you had better come up with something soon, or I'm going to -”
Malfoy rolled his eyes. “It’s nearly evening, Weasley, it’s going to be dark in a few minutes,” he cut through, nodding towards the entrance of the deep niche, where the pale sunlight had begun to wither into rays of dark blue. “From what I get this, this fair thing is famous, so most of the population is going to be around here. Once dark falls, we can sneak out and find a spot away from all this hustle-bustle.” He stopped, but Ginny continued to look at him expectantly, so he said, rather rudely, “What?”
“Malfoy,” she began, and she suddenly had the air of a teacher explaining, to a stubborn Montessori child, that two plus two can not be five. “Are you saying we starve to death in some forest, far away from humanity? Did I mention I’m cold, and I need something warm before I die of the weather?”
“Nope to both questions,” Malfoy said, looking amused as he placed both hands behind his head and resting it against a wall. “Though if you have a better plan, I’d love to hear it, Weaselhead.” He smirked as he heard her mutter “Son of an idiot” under her breath and closed his eyes, feeling darkness descend into the niche.
Frustrated at his lack of co-operation, Ginny sat down – as far away from him as possible – and ten minutes, found herself shaking him awake.
“It’s dark,” she said grimly. “Let’s go.” |
