Chapter 1: Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

In the deserted alley the wind was blowing and the old man lowered his hood farther.

"Never forget you have Potter blood in you and there are people who will hate you for that"

he whispered before turning around and disappearing in the unlit alley. Suddenly Virginia Longbottom saw a flash of green light before waking up with a start.

"What was that about?"wondered Virginia or Ginny as her friends called her "I am Granger and Longbottom not Potter, Anne is the Potter here not me!"

"What are you doing up so early?" asked her mother Hermione Granger as she walked into Ginny's bedroom.

"I had a weird dream"

"Well since you're up, we can go to the new zoo today."

***********************************
An hour later, Ginny and her mother were sitting in the car(it was a muggle zoo and Hermione wanted to remain conspicious) on the way to the zoo.

"Mom, do you think they have lions?Or tigers?Or bears?"

"Yes dear" answered a very tired Hermione.

"Lions and tigers and bears oh my!(a/n: I love that line)cried out Ginny repeatedly.

"Ginny"said Hermione exasperatedly "A girl of nine should know to be a bit calmer when I'm trying to drive. Oh look we're there!
"
"Cool! I can see the viewing tower! It's almost five times as high as Gramma's house."

The two got out of the car and walked towards the the ticket booth.

"Two please." Hermione said to the oddly familiar looking man in the booth. "Seamus? Seamus Finnigan?What are you doing here?" I thought you were in Ireland taking care of wild pixies."

"Well I am but every summer they hibernate, backwards little creatures they are. It's more convienient when bears hibernate in the winter. You don't freeze your butt off taming them!"

Ginny piped up in the conversation, as always wanting attention "Lions and tigers and bears oh my!"

"Well who's that?" asked Seamus. "She looks a fair bit like you? Doesn't look a bit like Neville though."

"This is Virginia Longbottom, named after Ginny Weasley."

Seamus turned away and there was a silence.

"Come now Seamus, Ginny wouldn't want us being sad, she died knowing it would be better for the rest of us. "

"Mommy, I died? When?"

"No not you darling, the person you're named after"

"Oh" was Ginny's response before letting out a shrill scream.

Are you proud of me? I wrote a long chapter! That's the longest I've written. Well anyways r/r!
