What could I say to them. No? I don't think so? Find someone else? I've done mine? None of those phrases crossed my mind. All I could say was when do I go? And is anyone else going? I always thought that death was the end. But no, some souls have to go back again. Do the job that no one else will do. That no one else can do.

"Will I remember anything from my former life?"

"When you start over you really start over. Once you're back here you'll remember everything."

"Will I be anywhere near the others?"

"Relatively."

"What does that mean?"

"Closer than the sun but farther than next door."

"Will I see them?"

"Someday, sometime. You are drawn to each other, you will look until you find them. They will look until they find you. Only death will stop the connection."

"When?"

"They are gone, you will go soon."

I sat in the chair waiting. When would they call me. If the others were gone that meant that I would be the younger one. They've been gone a while. I hope I get good parents. Last time they were good but ...

Oh, it's my turn, my time to go. Wish me luck.

I hurt. Why do I hurt. The light is bright beyond my eyelids. People are so loud please talk quieter. What is that other sound. It's deeper and it sounds close.

"Young lady are you awake?"

There is that sound again it's almost like someone moaning in pain. Maybe it's me.

"I think she's coming around."

I really want to cover my eyes but my arm won't move.

"Don't try to move you've been hurt."

I try to ask what happened, but they say, "Don't try to talk just yet either. You were in a car accident. It's rather amazing that you're alive."

Well that's comforting, no panic here, nope I'm completely calm. And I'm a terrific liar. Because I know you can't tell that I am a bit concerned. Bordering on scared, on the precipice of panic, totally terrified out of my freaking mind. There now I feel a bit better. I have admitted my fear so I can get beyond it now… right?

Well I don't think I'm done with the whole over the edge thing yet. When someone says hey you're lucky to be alive, somehow that just doesn't settle me at all.

Sometime later I hear a voice calling me again.

"Can you hear me? If you can squeeze my fingers."

I try squeezing, she said, "Come on try to wake up and squeeze my fingers."

I'm really tired so I squeeze as hard as I can and I feel a little pressure of something pushing back.

"Good job."

Great will you leave me alone now, I really want to sleep. I like sleep, it's dark, there's no pain.

"Ok I'm going to touch you in a few places I want to you squeeze my hand if you feel anything."

I feel that touch on my leg, and that on my arm, and that on my face. So I squeezed the hand as hard as I could each time.

"Good. Now only squeeze if it hurts."

No that doesn't hurt, nor that, OW that does, squeezing the hand.

"Excellent."

What is so excellent about that, it hurt bad.

"That's enough for now get some rest."

Yes rest is good.

"Young lady, time to wake up"

Great what do they want this time.

"I want you to try and open your eyes."

Have you ever tried to force you eyes to open when they want to stay shut. You can try and order them, open I said open now. They just ignore you and stay shut. Finally I push with everything I've got and they move.

"Excellent."

The room is rather dim and the person talking to me looks like a nice person.

"Can you move your fingers?"

I comply and try to move my arm too because I'm sure that's the next question.

"One thing at a time don't rush it. Can you talk?"

"No" that sounded horrible, croaky and rough.

She laughed, "Ok, now I'm going to touch you in different places if you feel it say yes, if it hurts say ow."

"Yes… Yes... Yow…Yes."

"Excellent. You're coming along well. My name is Healer Johnson."

"Healer? Where?"

The healer said, "St. Mungos for Magical Maladies."

"Magical."

The healer said, "Yes, you're a witch, do you remember?"

"Hogwarts School."

The healer said, "Yes that's right. Well done. Can you tell me your name?"

"… Ginny, I'm named after my Great Aunt."

The healer said, "Well my name is Jane, and I'm not named after anyone I don't think." Ginny smiled and Jane said, "So can you tell me why you apparated onto a busy highway?"

Ginny said, "I was trying to go to a small mixed village called Godrics Hollow. It's in Devonshire."

Jane said, "Well you ended up in Devonshire but I've never heard of Godrics Hollow."

Ginny said, "My Aunt that I was named after lived there like three hundred years ago. I read about it in a history book and wanted to go see it. I planned on landing about a half a mile to the south of the village."

Jane said, "Well that particular highway is less than thirty years old you may have actually landed where you thought but it's just not there anymore."

Ginny said, "Maybe my maps weren't as new as I thought."

Jane said, "Well don't worry too much, you'll be out of here in a few days."

Ginny laughed, "Yes, then I'll walk there."

Jane laughed, "So what Aunt were you named for?"

Ginny said, "Many times great Aunt Ginevra Molly Weasley Potter."

Jane gaped, "No way. She was my many times Great Grandmother, were cousins."

Ginny and Jane laughed together. After a few minutes her check up was over and Jane said, "Your family is waiting to see you. Shall I send them in?"

Ginny grimaced, "You might as well, I'm never going to hear the end of this."

Jane left the room, a few moment s later the door open up and in came the whole family. One thing that hasn't changed in three hundred years was Weasley's and loads of kids. She was like her Great Aunt in many ways. She was the youngest, she still had the red hair, she loved Quidditch and she had six older brothers.

Her mother reached her and said, "I'm so glad you're ok. What were you thinking. You know how dangerous times are right now. Going off on your own wasn't very bright. If you would have asked I would have show you the newest maps and gone with you. I figured out where you had landed and rushed to the scene just in time to see the muggles load you into one of their emergency things. It took me some time to convince them that I wanted to take you to a special hospital. Lucky for us your brother's into muggle cars."

Ginny said, "Sorry Mum. I didn't mean to cause a fuss."

Merry Weasley said, "You never do dear. Just think next time."

After a while Jane came in and Ginny said, "Hey guess what, Healer Jane is a Potter side relative. We found out when I told her who I was named after. Jane, this is my mum Merry, dad Tomas and my brothers Cale, Dean, Ron, Simon, Drake and Allan."

Jane smiled, "I'm through her son James' line, I never had the surname Potter but I'm glad to finally meet the Weasleys. Now I'm sorry but visiting time is over for the day so I have to make you all go home."

Merry gave Ginny one more hug and left followed by her Dad and all her brothers. The last to leave was Ron he whispered, "Hey sis, see what you can find out about Healer Jane . I think she may be the same age but I don't remember her from Hogwarts. She's pretty I'd like to ask her out. Then maybe Mum will get off my back."

Ginny giggled and said, "I'll try."

Jane came back after a few minutes and Ginny was still laughing. She asked, "What's got you in such a good mood?"

Ginny smiled, "My brother Ron, he's twenty four. He wants me to find out about you. He thinks you're pretty a wants to go out if you're even close to his age. But he doesn't remember you from Hogwarts."

Jane smiled, "That's because I didn't go to Hogwarts, I went to Beauxbatons. My father works for the British Magical Ministry in France. We are the same age, and I'm not dating anyone. Was he the last one to leave the room?" Ginny nodded, Jane said, "Oh, yes he was the cutest one."

Ginny laughed. Her brother was in for it with this one.

The next day all her family came back, except Ron. Her Mum said he had to go to practice today. Ron just like his namesake was a quidditch fanatic. The Chudley Cannons weren't around anymore so he had picked the team with the next most horrid color scheme available. But at least they had a better record, this season they had won all seven of the games they'd played so far. This Ron had followed his dream and was the starting Keeper for the Derby Dementors. Their slogan was Because We Are Your Worst Nightmare, their colors were Black and Blue. Ron, like Ginny, had carried on the red hair. So with his blue eyes the color scheme actually worked for him.

They visited through the afternoon with her brothers giving her a hard time about apparating onto a busy freeway. A Ministry official had stopped by and she had been able to keep her license because she didn't splintch. But they did tell her to make sure of her maps next time, or perhaps take a portkey when going to a new place for the first time.

Visiting hours were over so her family started to leave, her Mum said, "Ron will be so disappointed that he missed visiting hours, he went in an hour early to try and get off early. He doesn't have practice tomorrow so he'll be here to help me get you home."

Although Ron was older by several years he was her closest brother. She thought perhaps it was because Simon, Drake and Allan were at Hogwarts with her and she never had a moments peace with them. They either didn't like her friends or boyfriends or the way she dressed or walked, whatever she did they didn't like it. They had even managed to keep her off the quidditch team until her sixth year. Luckily she was two years younger than Allan so she played her sixth year and would be captain for her seventh.

About five minutes after her family left Ginny heard a commotion. Jane had just finished checking her charts and left to check on the noise. She came in a few minutes later with Ron in tow. She didn't stay but said, "I can only give you about ten minutes then we'll have to go."

Ron gave her his best smile, "Thanks a lot, I appreciate it."

Ginny said, "How did you manage to get in after hours?"

Ron grinned, "Our cousin Jane came through, lucky for me she is not too close of a cousin. The nurse outside was telling me that visiting hours were over and I tried to say I couldn't get away from practice. All I actually got to do was open my mouth and she just ran over me saying just because you're a famous quidditch player doesn't give you the right to come in any time you want. Well Jane said, what you are saying is true but he is not here to visit anyone he is here to pick me up for our date. Now I'm running late because you didn't check Miss Weasley's chart so I had too. He is going to set in her room while I get changed. Then she grabbed my hand and you know the rest."

Ginny said, "Well you better treat her to a nice dinner for this."

Ron said, "I'd love to but she just said it to get me in for a bit. I haven't asked her out yet. By the way what did you find out about her?"

Ginny grinned, "She went to Beauxbaton's that's why you don't remember her. Her father works for the British Magical Ministry in France, or at least he did when she was in school. Her last name is Johnson and she is your age. She thinks you're the cutest of my brothers and she is not dating anyone. Now all you have to do is say your dates always make Witch Weekly, you need to go to dinner together so the nurse won't know she lied just to get you in."

Ron grinned, "Now I know why you're my favorite little sister."

Ginny grimaced, "I'm your only little sister."

Ron said, "Yes, but your still my favorite. Favorite sibling too but don't tell the others they each think they're my favorite."

They continued to visit until Jane came back with another healer, "Ginny this is Healer Baxter. This is her first night on her own." She continued to the healer, "Mary… Mary… Mary I know he's famous but you need to listen to me. Ok, good, now Ginny is his sister and she will be getting out in the morning. Everything should be quiet in here ok?"

Mary said, "Yes Healer Johnson."

Ron spoke up, "So are you ready for dinner or do you still have some rounds to make?"

Jane smiled, "One more stop, and I'll be right back."

As they were leaving they heard Mary say, "You have a date with Ron Weasley, oh I can't wait to see your picture in Witch Weekly next week. Shouldn't you be wearing a dress…"

Ginny grinned, "Mary just made your job a lot easier."

Ron grinned back, "Most of the time being famous is a pain in the… foot. But sometimes you get a little perk that makes it all worthwhile."

Ginny said, "Well just behave yourself. I don't want her to keep me extra as punishment for introducing you."

Jane came back, "Sorry I tried to drag it out as long as possible but once they found out about our 'date', they shoved me out the door."

Ron said, "So where would you like to go this evening?"

Jane smiled, "Ron you don't have too…"

Ron said, "No I insist. You got me in to see my favorite sister, I want to back up your story. Mary was right every date I have ends up in Witch Weekly, you have to be seen with me or they won't believe you. Besides, I'd like to have dinner with a beautiful kind lady for a change of pace and I'd like to get to know you."

Jane smiled, "Ok, fine, but isn't she your only sister?"

Ron laughed, "Yes, bye Ginny, I'll be by in the morning with Mum to cart you out."
