Disclaimer: I do not own HP or anything related to it. It rightfully belongs to JK Rowling. I'm just borrowing her world to take you into my twisted little world. My world has two characters that are not in the series, and there for they belong to me. Thank you. And now, back into my little world.
"Ginny, you have got to be joking. Charlie is not getting married," Ron said closing his sketchpad.
"That's what the letter said, Ron," Ginny replied. Ron shook his head incredulously.
"It's impossible! He'd never get married! That's not Charlie!" Ron said reaching for the letter. Ginny hand it over with a sigh.
"Here, read it for yourself. Maybe then you'll believe it," Ginny snapped.
"Dear Ginny,
How are you doing as of late? I am fine. It's almost hard to believe your starting your fourth year at Hogwarts. Hell, I can remember when I was starting fifth form. Anyways, enough about Hogwarts, how's life at home? Mum is doing fine, I reckon? And how's dad? His last letter to me said he might be getting a promotion. Is that true? Did he get it? I just received a letter from Percy who told me all about his new job. It sounds quite boring to me. Sitting at a desk all day, filling out papers? Thank Merlin I chose not to listen to mom when she begged me to get a job at the ministry. I might wind up like Percy…"
"Speaking of my job, we just got a new dragon. It's an Antipodean Opaleye; a female. She is quite sweet, I suppose. Well, about as sweet as a dragon can get, that is. She has taken to one trainer in particular. I can't blame her either. The trainer is the most gorgeous woman I have ever met. Her name is Patricia. She's my age, and she went to Hogwarts for a year before her family went to Bulgaria and she was sent to Durmstrang. She had about a year or auror training until she came to the colony. Unfortunately she's leaving this year to start a new job. I love her too much to lose her to another man, so I am going to propose to her tonight. I hope she says yes. Well my dear sister, I need to be going. I'm going to have to prepare myself for the question! Wish me luck!"
"Love always, Charlie"
"P.S. She said YES!!!!!! SHE'S GOING TO MARRY ME!" Ron finished. Slowly he hand the letter back to his sister, who was smug.
"Why are you two so shocked? Its just Charlie," Harry said.
"Exactly. Charlie is the family playboy. His idea of settling down is going steady with a girl for two months," Ron stated.
"She's probably got his bun in her oven," Ginny said, folding up the letter and sticking it in her trunk. Ron snickered at his sisters comment.
"Gin, where did you learn that disgusting phrase?" Harry scolded, sounding uncannily like Hermione.
"Well, I did grow up with six brothers that each gave me their rendition of the birds and the bees speech on my seventh birthday. Where do you think I picked it up from, Harry?" Ginny asked, rolling her eyes. Harry was about to answer when the compartment door opened. Harry and Ron's friend Seamus Finnegan walked in, followed by a short girl with long raven-colored hair and almond-shaped blue eyes.
"Hullo mates, how was your summer hols?" Seamus asked brightly. The little trio nodded and shrugged, not wanting to go too much into detail about their summer.
"Wonderful! My summer was brilliant, especially since my friend here came back from Japan!" the Irish boy threw an arm around the girl whom was standing by him, "Guys, This is Maggie Yokazuma. Maggie, This is Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter."
"Hullo," Maggie muttered from the side of her mouth.
"She's not much of a talker. Say, you guys better get into your robes. I expect we'll be arriving in Hogsmeade real soon. I'll see you guys at the feast," Seamus and Maggie left the compartment. They quickly got changed, and sure enough, in five minutes, the train pulled into the station.
