The quiet pitter-patter of footsteps is the only thing heard in the Burrow besides the loud snoring coming from Fred's room. Ron makes his way downstairs, intending to simply make some tea to wake himself up. It's quite early—Ron is the only one awake. Reaching the kitchen, he almost doesn't notice the piece of paper on the dining table. Almost. It was clearly his sister's handwriting, he'd recognize the elegant script anywhere.

Dear Mum or Ron or whoever is reading this, it read

Natalya and I are going on a post-war celebratory vacation. We'll be back before summer ends. Love you.

-G & N

Ron stopped short, his eyes widening as his eyes skimmed over the paper once more, then again, then three more times before he could finally comprehend what it said.

"... Mum!" He called, running up the stairs to wake his mother and alert her of Ginny's disappearance. It was too late though—Ginny and her best friend were gone.
