Chapter One

Sitting at her mirror the young lady of 16 fastened her brand new robes. They were dark purple with silver lining. She loved the feeling of new robes for the last month she'd been able to do and buy the things she has always wanted. At the beginning of the summer she received a parcel from her muggle grandfather, her mother's stepfather he asked for her to go and stay with for a week because he was leaving for America. She had never really spent much time with him and was really exited about going. He lived in the Scottish highlands, in a castle.

She had an excellent time with him there. They went to huge balls every night and met a lot of people and her grandfather kept introducing her to a lot of young men her own age. Her grandfather seemed to be the happiest anyone around him has seen him in a long time.

 The day she left was a very sad affair. Everyone cried and made her promise she'd return. And she of coarse said she would most likely return next summer. She might even stay longer next as well. Just before she left her grandfather pulled her aside and gave her an envelope  "Virginia I want you to put this away, this is for you only, understand?" he said in a mere whisper "I have already sent a letter to your parents explaining that this is only for you" as of yet she had still not opened it she went to but he insisted she wait until she got out of sight of the castle. He kissed for forehead and guided her into the carriage that would bring her to the train station. She said goodbye, waving until the castle was out of sight. She sat back and opened the envelope there were two pieces of what seemed to be very expensive stationary. The first was a letter that read

Dearest Virginia

Thank you so very much for the time you spent with me.  I must say they were some of the happiest days of my life. I am extremely sorry but I feel I must tell you the reason I wanted so much to get to know you. It's just that my days on this earth are numbered and I wanted to spend time with you before my time was up. I hope you understand that telling you this pains me immensely.  You are so full of life and very generous to have shared this past week with me. Thank you again. Now, I have made a few changes to my estate and I wish for you to take a piece for yourself. I'm waiting until you leave to give this to you because I have a feeling you will refuse it, so with that I finish

With love always,

Your grandfather and friend

Ronald H. Davidson

She sat back in the carriage, took a deep breathe. What did he mean his days were numbered? He can't die she had promised to return the next summer and he seemed thrilled. Why wouldn't he have shown any emotion at that point in time?

She took another breathe and opened the second piece of paper it was a check for an obscene amount of money that Ginny never even imagined possible to belong to one person and it was addresses to her, Virginia Weasley. She couldn't believe it. He had said it was only a piece in his letter, She then realized that her grandfather must have been more powerful than she thought him to be, but why would he give this to her. She did have six brothers why not one of them?

She then thought of something he had said about her being a mirror image of her grandmother, his late wife. When he first met her and lost her to his best friend, while he still attended Hogwarts. He said that he had missed his chance to show her how he felt back then but gained her friendship and after the death of her first husband he was there to console her and then their friendship turned into something much deeper. She was his life. And now Ginny was a very strong reminder of her. Could that be why he entrusted this to her alone?  She would have to ask him at the first opportunity she got. She took another look at the amount on the check and drifted off thinking of the amazing time she had in Scotland, and the positive things she could do with the money. Without so much as a thought about what he had said about dying. She believed he would live a lot longer than he granted himself.

The sun emerged from behind some clouds as if saying it would be clear sailing from here on. Life would be different, very different.
