Ginny now remembered those faithful words she had muttered the day her brother Ron had boarded the train to Hogwarts. That day had changed her life forever because that had been the day the Weasley family came to know Harry Potter. The words she had spoken that day drifted through her mind so clearly at the moment "Oh, Mom, can I go on the train and see him, Mom, oh please…" of course the reason was Ginny had once had a crush on Harry but he had come so close to her family in 6 years he was more of a brother. There was to much to think of today though… after all today would have been…

"Miss Weasley, may I ask exactly what you mean by that?" Ginny blinked remembering she was in Potions.

"Oh good one Ginny, now look what you did!" A sandy haired girl next to her gave her a slight elbow in the side.

"So you think my lesson is not good enough for you? Hmm… miss Weasley." Professor Snape was the most hated professor in the school.

"I'm sorry sir. What do you mean?" Ginny obviously didn't know what Snape was talking about and apparently her thought she was lying.

"Oh and your comment 'Oh please…' was a mere slip of tongue?" Snape wrinkled his crooked nose and continued to look at her.

"I'm sorry sir… I was daydreaming." Ginny looked up at Snape waiting for him to take points off a usual.

"Daydreaming… well, that's a different story. Well then lets continue." Snape looked around the room. This confused Ginny.

Once again Ginny was elbowed in the side by the sandy haired girl, "How'd you do that Ginny. He didn't take off any points!"

Ginny looked up at Snape who had continued to look around the room at the other students. Maybe he wasn't going to take points off this time. Suddenly Snape caught her eyes, "Oh and miss Weasley… 5 points from Gryffindor."

All the Gryffindor Students in the room groaned. Ginny continued to think to herself. 'Well I should have seen that one coming. Why does my head always have to wander?'

Potions ended and Ginny walked into the Great Hall seating herself in her usual chair across from Harry and diagonal to her brother Ron. Hermione was supposed to be joining her soon to help her with her Divinations work. They would have done this in the common room but Ginny decided she was always hungry after potions so they would meet in the Great Hall.

"'ello Ginny! How are you?" A tall brown haired boy came over and seated himself in front of Ginny. He wasn't a Gryffindor, in fact, he was in Ravenclaw.

"Oh hello Nick! I'm wonderful, just a little tired today. You know, just came from potions." Nick was a Ravenclaw 3rd year and had been Cedric Diggory's little brother. Ginny still couldn't believe what had happened when she was a 3rd year. She still couldn't believe Cedric was really dead.

"I'm doing alright. Umm… I was wondering Ginny… if you would umm…" Nick looked up at her and Ginny knew instantly what he wanted to say.

"Yes Nick, I will come with you to light a candle for Cedric on the Quidditch field tonight." Ginny remembered that today would have been Cedric's birthday and it only seemed fair to his memory to light a candle for him on the Quidditch field. After all that was Cedric's life… Quidditch.

"Thank you so much Ginny, I really appreciate it. I know how close you were to him before he died!" Nick stood up and walked away leaving Ginny to ponder once again.

Yes Cedric had been close to her and she had been close to him. Not in a romantic way of course. He had been her shoulder to cry on when she didn't want to go to her brothers... everything that had happened when she was a first year, he had been the first to ask her if she was okay.

"I'm sorry I'm late Ginny." Hermione came walking in and sat down by Ginny, "History of Magic ran over!"

"Oh it's alright, Nick came over and kept me company." Ginny smiled at Hermione and pulled out her Divinations book and they started to work.

About and hour later Hermione looked down at the watch she had received as a present from Harry. "Oh my goodness… come on Ginny we have to get ready for the dance tonight!"

Hermione was talking about the Cedric Diggory Remembrance dance. "Oh, I'm not going Herm!"

Hermione looked up in surprise. She also knew how close Ginny and Cedric had been. "But Gin, it's for Cedric!"

"I know Herm, but I'm going with Nick tonight to light a candle for Cedric on the Quidditch field. So I wont be going." Ginny looked at Hermione and started putting her stuff away. "I can help you get ready though."

"Alright Gin, I understand. Lets go then." With that Hermione and Ginny walked up the staircase to Gryffindor tower. Ginny kept thinking about Cedric as she said in the dorm she shared with Hermione.
