A/N: You know, I realized we don't really know much about Ginny and it's
time she got some real personality!
Chapter 1: The Plans
"See you next year!" Ginny called to her friends as she stepped off of the Hogwarts express.
Another year had come and gone for the young girl and she was more than ready to go home.
"Hello Ginny dear," said her Mum happily, and gave her a hug. Only something was different, Ginny could feel it. She was now taller than her Mum!
"Hi Mum. This height difference is weird," commented Ginny briefly before she took notice to her Dad.
He was about eight feet away and explaining something to Ron.
"What's going on with Ron?" asked Ginny bluntly.
"I was just about to tell you. He is going to Hermione's for the summer. You see, me and your dad won a trip to America and of course we can't be home..," explained Mrs. Weasley, clearly choosing her words carefully.
"And because Ron and I are the only ones still at home I need to go somewhere," said Ginny finishing her statement for her.
"Yes, but honey its okay. We don't have to go," said her Mum quickly.
Ginny figured she was probably just trying to not hurt her feelings. It's not that she didn't appreciate it, but she was more mature than that.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley," said a males voice from behind.
"Just call me Molly," said her Mum, so Ginny turned on the spot to see who it was.
She was thoroughly shocked at first but then remember he was innocent, it was Sirius Black. He stared at her, it made her feel a little sick after all those wanted posters she had seen. Sure, there had been a trail held, and Peter Pettigrew confessed, in which cleared his name, but all the same, his stare was just bizarre.
"Lily," he mumbled after a couple seconds of staring even though it felt like minutes.
"Excuse me?" asked Ginny just as Harry walked up beside him.
"It's nothing you just remind me of someone," said Sirius trying to brush it off as nothing.
"So how's everything at your new job?" asked Mrs. Weasley trying to change the uncomfortable subject.
That was one of the many things Ginny loved about her Mum.
"Going really well actually, all settled into the flat as well," commented Sirius.
"It'll be great to be away from the Dursleys'," added in Harry.
"Shame you can't come and visit," replied Mrs. Weasley.
"He could if he wanted to," said Sirius looking to Harry. It was clear how much he cared for him.
"Actually me and Arthur are off to visit America, as soon as we find a place for Ginny here," stated Mrs. Weasley.
Ginny blushed, this was embarrassing for her. First of all, that her parents didn't trust her alone, second that there was no place, and third that this was Harry, and she'd been trying lately to forget about him. It is hard to however with hearing his name all of the time. Why couldn't she just disappear right now?
"Why doesn't she stay with us?" offered Sirius right away.
"WHAT?!" said Harry and Ginny at the same time.
"I know you don't know me very well to be leaving your daughter, but all these years you've allowed Harry over in the summer so I should return the favor," explained Sirius making a grin in Harry's direction.
What was that suppose to mean, that grin? Her unbearable feelings towards him were no laughing matter. She counted as having real feelings too!
"Let me ask my husband, that is a good idea. As long as it's alright with Ginny," said Mrs. Weasley.
Ginny felt this was unfair to put her on the spot, in such an awkward position.
"I wouldn't mind," she said finally as her Dad walked over.
"Mind what?" he asked.
"Sirius has offered to watch over Ginny for the summer," explained Mrs. Weasley happily.
"Okay then," said Mr. Weasley.
Ginny could hardly believe this was happening.
"Why don't I take her with me and Harry, then one of you can bring by her some summer clothes?" offered Sirius.
She could tell he was trying to be nice, but in her opinion, over-doing it.
"Great!" said Mrs. Weasley giving her another hug.
"Don't forget my dresses," said Ginny as an after thought, "I have a feeling this is going to be one hot summer.
With that, she forced a smile on her face, and walked in silence while pushing her trolley along with Harry and Sirius.
"Are you a quit one?" asked Sirius as they were putting the trunks in his car after a few minutes.
It was a very different situation for her and had kept quiet the whole time, although Harry talked to Sirius a bit. This offended her that he didn't make an effort for conversation. Only then it fazed her, they had never really had a conversation.
"According to my Mum I will talk your ear off," she informed him with a grin. She got into the backseat, when he got in the front, and to her surprise Harry got in and sat beside her.
"Harry does that enough," he joked with her. She turned towards Harry just in time to see him blush. That was odd, to see him blushing.
"DO tell me what he speaks of," said Ginny with a sly grin.
This could be fun after all. Sure Harry, in her mind had been her dream guy, but after all, she realized that's just it, a dream.
"Well, he talks about this young girl, maybe almost 16, with flaming hair." started Sirius but Harry interrupted.
"Shut up," he said bluntly.
"Oh but I must say how he talks about when she walks, how her bum just moves ever so slightly." said Sirius but Harry interrupted once again.
"Can you believe how hot it is?" asked Harry rolling down his window, to avoid her seeing his red face.
Ginny smiled as they pulled into a parking lot.
"Well this is it," said Sirius as they all piled out.
It just fazed Ginny that this would be Harry's first time seeing his new home. His stuff was probably already there but to see it would be different. After what seemed like a thousand stairs they reached the top of the apartment building in Hogsmeade. After fumbling with the keys he got it open.
"Wow," was Ginny's first reaction to the site. They stepped into what must have been the living room, fully furnished with a leather sofa and chair, glass coffee table and a variety of lamps. Next into the kitchen which was large compared to what she was used to, it even had an isle in the middle. After that they saw the bathroom and finally Sirius and then Harry's bedroom.
"Make yourself at home," Harry told her noticing her nervousness.
She had an especially big fear of breaking something. She could feel Harry put his hand on hers as they went back to the living room, she just about fainted.
"Sorry," he mumbled after noticing.
She put on a small smile of comfort and sat down, knowing he hadn't done it on purpose. Maybe this summer wouldn't be too bad.
A/n: I know it sucked for a first chapter but I promise it gets better, it's just a matter of setting things up, and now that Ginny's there, let the heat wave begin!
