A/N: hi, this is not my first ff, I have another account, but people bash me on that one, so yeah. I own nothing, I'm poor and hopeless. Anyone.

Harry didn't go to sleep until one in the morning. He was to worried about Ginny; she still hadn't come home.

He walked into their bedroom and fell onto the bed, thinking of where she was. He fell into an uneasy sleep.

He woke up the next day to find that Ginny still hadn't come home. He was really worried now.

Four years later, she still hadn't come home. In fact, she left the country, she was now in America. California to be exact. She hadn't talked to her family or Harry for four whole years, and it was killing her. But she wanted to forget, she wanted to be away from the wizarding world and all of its inhabitants. She wanted to forget what happened that night. That night when she didn't come home.

BEEP BEEP BEEP! The alarm clock rang out in the silent room. Ginny Weasley took her hand out from under her pillow and hit the clock. It shut off immediately. She got out of bed and took a shower.

She got out of the shower twenty minutes later and dragged herself back into her bedroom. She opened her closet and picked out some nice muggle clothes. She put them on and looked in the mirror. The dark blue jeans clung to her skin and the red tank top showed her curves perfectly.

Satisfied, she went into her son's room to wake him up.

"James, get up. I have to go to work." She kissed the three year- old's forehead and went over to his closet. She picked out his favorite play clothes and went back over to his bed. "Come on, up" he finally got up and sat on his bed while his mother took of his pajamas and put on his play clothes. She picked him up and carried him into the kitchen. She sat him in his "special" seat at the counter and gave him a bowl of cereal.

Twenty minutes later, they were out the door and on their way to the mall to drop him off at Gymboree while she works at Barnes and Noble.

They got out of the car and Ginny slipped the green B&N shirt over her head. They went into Starbucks and got a drink; James a chocolate milk, Ginny a vinnilla latte. Ginny dropped James off at Gymboree and went to work. It wasn't a very stable job, but it was all she had. Well, she did work at a restraunt at night, but that wasn't very stable either.

Ginny was putting some new books on the shelves when some one with a famillar voice asked her a question.

"Excuse me miss, but I was wondering where I could find a book"

"Sorry, we don't carry books here" she said sarcastically and turnned around. "Hi Tom" she smiled and kissed him.

"Where's James?" asked Tom, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Gymboree" she replied and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"How 'bout I take you and James out for lunch on your break?"

"Sounds great" she kissed him again. "I gotta get back to work, see you soon."

"Bye" he kissed her then walked out of the store.

"Wow, I still wanna know how you got so lucky. I mean, come on, he's Tom Han, the hottest guy in the whole city" Ginny's friend Melony asked.

"I don't know." Ginny laughed. "Help me with these books, wont you?"

After lunch, Ginny kept James with her; she didn't want to spend a lot of money. So she sat James at a table in the kids' section and gave him a truck book to look at while she put some new American Girl books on a shelf near by.

It was almost time to go when Ginny saw some one from her past. Some one from the past that she tried so hard to forget.

"Come on, James, let's go" she hurried.

"But I want truck book!" James held up the book.

"I told you, not today." She could tell a tantrum was coming on; he was in his terrible threes. She took the book out of his hands and picked him up. She started to walk towards the door when the person from the past stopped her.

"Excuse me, miss, but you forgot your- Ginny?"

"I don't know who Ginny is" she faked.

"Gin, it's on your name tag, don't play stupid, I know you to well."

"Correction, you KNEW me, Harry, you don't know me anymore." She headed for the door again. "Bye Mel" she called to her friend.

"Bye, Ginny, James!" Ginny walked out the door and to her car. She buckled James into his car seat and put the keys in the car. She took out her cell phone and called Mike, one of her best friends.

"Hi, Mike, I can't work today, something came up. Can you cover for me? Thanks, love ya, bye" she hung up and drove away.
