It was just after The Battle of Hogwarts and Ginny was miserable, her mother had sent her to a small town in Ireland where there was someone
distantly related to her. Her mother's plan was for Ginny to spend four weeks here, then come back, hopefully somehow forgetting Fred was dead and
get over her hatred for Ron. Ohhh, Ron. He was SO annoying. He was the reason that Harry had stared acting so different around her, she knew it.
He probably told Harry to stay away from her. Man, he was so annoying. Well anyway Ginny was stuck in this small but beautiful farm village. It was
beautiful, but a little boring. Well at least it was until she met Annie Callahan.
Annie was lively and fun and best of all she had a niece around Ginny's age coming for a quick visit soon. Ginny spent most of her days helping Annie
with the farm and joining her for tea. Ireland was not the best place for Ginny to spend two weeks, but at least Hermione apparated over daily or wrote her letters the day she wasn't able to come, and Annie was a good friend. From Hermione she learned that she'd have to stay an extra week in
Ireland because her mom was to worried that death eaters would find their family and attack them because they supported Dumbledore and Harry.
Harry. Oh, how she missed
him. She only heard of him through Hermione and Hermione seemed guarded around the subject of Harry. What Ginny did know was that he went
to live in Grimmauld place and mostly kept to himself. Hermione didn't come right out and say it, though Ginny felt as though Harry had taken all
the deaths as his own fault and felt awful about it. Ginny wished there was something she could do for him. But, how could she? She had only
gotten one letter from him once. It was a sweet very Harry-like letter saying that they had all had a doxie-removing "party" at Grimmauld place
and that it wasn't the same without her and he hoped she was enjoying Ireland. She wrote him a response, but he never wrote back. Maybe it
got lost. Okay probably not. Harry's new owl was named Athena and was smart just like her namesake. Athena was also a snowy owl and she
highly doubted Athena would get lost. Oh, well she would deal. She must be ready to meet Annie's niece, Nita Callahan, when she arrived.
