Back in Time: Ginny Style

Started: August 2, 2007

Summery:Like all other back in time stories, one of the characters goes back to the Marauders' Era and meets the four boys. Only this story is if Ginny went back.

Chapter 1

I shouldn't have stayed up all night talking with Harry. I might now be his girlfriend but I still have gotta remember that there is Charms Homework due the next day!

Ginny was racing down the Charms corridor rushing to her classroom. It was a Thursday, which meant double Charms with the Ravenclaws.

Perfect! Ginny thought I can catch up with Luna if I don't talk too loud!

Ginny got in the room just as Professor Flitwick was climbing to the top of his chair. She took her seat next to Luna and got her book out.

"I'm glad you got here," Luna whispered to Ginny, her blond hair falling in front of her eyes, "I felt a Limply Galgin swooping around. If you hadn't gotten here they would have pulled out all my hair."

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Nice to see you too Luna." This Limply Galgin must be another one of Luna's bizarre creatures that was repelled by red hair.

Charms went by rather quickly especially with Luna making odd comments about the clouds outside the window.

Luna cast a Banishing Charm on a nearby cushion they where practicing on, "So why is your homework so messy? It's usually a bit crumpled but it looks like you wrote it in ten minutes."

"Oh that," Ginny tried banishing Colin Creevey's chair but it only wiggled and made Colin glare at Ginny, "That's because I did write it in ten minutes. I slept in because I stayed up too late last night with Harry."

Luna gave Ginny a look. Ginny gave Luna a disgusted look back, "Oh no! Luna your mind is way too imaginative. We did not spend the night snogging like my brother and that bouncing thing, he calls Lavender! We where just talking!"

Luna shrugged her shoulders and let Ginny say the banishing charm again, "Branioshio," the cushion turned into a highly upholstered rabbit.

Luna giggled, "Nice bit of transfiguration."

Ginny groaned, "No! I got spells mixed up!"

Luna picked up the rabbit and petted it, "Well I have a new pet and you know you need to practise."

Ginny's next class was Ancient Runes. She had only taken it because her mother wanted her too take some extra courses. Luckily enough the Ancient Runes classroom had turned into a closet full of mice, because some one misread a translation. So until the classroom was cleared up the students had a free period which most fifth years didn't get often. So Ginny went up to her dormitory and sat on her bed with her Charms book practicing Banishing Charms.

"I'm so bored!!!" Ginny cried exasperatedly to the ceiling when she still hadn't gotten the charm right. She had been practising for 20 minutes and she still couldn't get the hang of the spell. So Ginny decided to go randomly flipping through some of the other Charms books lying around the dorm, to see if there were any tips on Banishing in them. She had already looked through two of them when she decided to go and search some of Hermione's books. Hermione was always looking up extra credit stuff so she probably had a much better Charms textbook.

Unfortunately Hermione and Ginny didn't share a dormitory but she had seen Hermione leave some of her books in the Common Room. Ginny left the dorm and went down to the common room. Thankfully lying there on the table was a pile of Hermione's books and low and behold! There was a copy of Advanced Charms and Incantations lying on the top of the pile.

Ginny reached out and took the book. She thumbed through it looking for tips on the Banishing Spell. But she soon got distracted by all the interesting spells. There was one that made flowers grow out of stone. There was one to turn shoes into squeaking thimbles and even one to change hair colour! So now that the fireplace was covered in poppies, a pair of Lavender's shoes had started squeaking and Ginny's hair now had a shimmering gold streak in it, she had reached the chapter with the much more advanced spells.

In the chapter there was the Charm that looked rather appealing. Tempus Goldius Haramo thought Ginny. I wonder what it does, it sounds like it would do something nice. The description was ripped out. It seemed that this book was fairly worn and had been borrowed by Ron for charm tips as well, as it read, 'Cudley Cannons rock!" on the corner of the page. Ginny tapped her wand to the top of her head and muttered, "Tempus Goldius Haramo…" Then all of a sudden a pale blue and gold light came from the tip of Ginny's wand and enwrapped her like fog.

"Oh no!" Ginny exclaimed. She had accidentally said the incantation while her wand was pointed at herself! She had cast the spell on herself! And an unknown one at that! The fog got thicker and thicker and soon Ginny couldn't see anything except blue and gold light. What was going to happen to her?
