Chapter 1

The Next Day

Dumbledore walked into the Burrow early that morning just a few hours after Ginny sent her urgent letter. Expecting to take her outside and listen to her reason, only to already find her outside in a bundled heap on the front of the house. He walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I suppose you want to go back to Hogwarts early for a reason. Why don't you go get your stuff Miss Weasley and we'll head off after your goodbyes," Dumbledore said kindly towards the mess in front of him. Ginny looked up to find her Headmaster smiling down at her as he reached out a hand to help her to her feet.

"Yes, sir."

The two walked into the Burrow to find everyone sitting down at the kitchen table for their morning breakfast.

"Professor!" exclaimed Molly Weasley as she noticed him in the doorway with Ginny. Wiping her hands on her apron she asked, "What brings you here?"

"I'm here to retrieve Miss Weasley. Apparently, Professor Snape has decided he wants to work with her before school starts so that she can be place in the Advanced course. She has great potential for a potions job Molly," Dumbledore replied as he stepped through the doorway.

"Well, why don't you sit down and have some breakfast?" Molly motioned towards a chair for the older wizard.

"No thank you. But, I'll take some of that tea you make so well," he told Molly as he sat down in the chair at the table. Turning to Ginny he added, "Now go get your things Miss Weasley, we have to leave soon if you are to get a head start on next year's level."

"NEXT YEAR'S LEVEL!" Ron stood up and yelled. "How could she get NEXT YEAR'S LEVEL!?!"

"Calm down Ronald Weasley and eat your breakfast!" Molly yelled at her youngest boy.

"Yes, mum," sighing in defeat he slumped back down and began to finish eating his food.

"Like I said before Mr. Weasley, she has great talent," Dumbledore said to Ron as he smiled. Finding Ron's temper amusing as he sipped on his tea. Soon after the loud outburst, Ginny came downstairs with her trunk following in pursuit. "Ah, Miss Weasley there you are. Are you ready?" Ginny gave a slight nod. "Alright, well, from what I understand, you will be sorted into a new house as soon as the new year starts."

"What!?" Molly exclaimed. "Is that even possible?"

"The Sorting Hat seems to think so and I have to trust it's judgment Molly," he replied casually. Turning to head out the door he turned to see if Ginny was behind him, only to realized she was still standing at the end of the staircase looking at him in confusion. "Come on Ginevra."

When she finally overcame her state, she quickly followed her Headmaster out of the door. Watching as he pulled something out from his pocket.

"What's that Professor?" Ginny asked, confusion clearly evident in her voice etched in with some curiosity.

"A portkey Miss Weasley, now grab onto it," he said as he pulled out an old muggle book. "It's destined to take us to Hogwarts in one minute." With that said Ginny reached forward and took the book in her hand. "Ready?"

"Yes, sir." And with that they took off.

--------------------------------------------------

As soon as their feet hit the ground outside of the castle, Ginny looked around to find her favorite house elf, Dobby, standing at the entrance waiting for their arrival. Ginny smiled at Dobby and gave him a slight wave. "Hey, Dobby."

"Hello, Miss Ginny. How is you today?"

"I'm fine Dobby. You?"

"Me is fine, did Miss get Dobby's socks? I sent Miss socks for your birthday," Dobby exclaimed, beaming with pride.

"Yes, Dobby I received your socks, and thank you so much," Ginny replied as she raised up her pants leg to show off her new socks. At this gesture Dobby squealed with delight and clapped his hands together.

"Give your trunk to Dobby and he'll take it to your new room as soon as we figure out your new house is." Dumbledore interrupted after he deemed it safe that the conversation was over. "Let's go to my office now to discuss your new living conditions until the year starts."

Dumbledore and Ginny walked up to the portrait leading to his office. "Lemon Drops," he told the portrait allowing them both access to go in. " Sit down Miss Weasley."

Ginny sat down on one of the chairs across from his desk. Feeling slightly uncomfortable being alone. As if reading her thoughts Dumbledore spoke up.

"So I see that you are doing better after your unfortunate accident."

Ginny looked up at her Headmaster in astonishment. 'Could he know?' she thought to herself.

"Yes I know what happened Miss Weasley. Fortunately, I Saw what happened through the help of your family's owl," pain and concern etched in his voice as he looked at Ginny. "Which is why I chose to arrive and gather you up myself. I only hope that with some time you might be able to overcome your newfound fear. With a nod from Ginny, he continued. " Now, I have your schedule here," he said as he reached over and handed her a piece of parchment. "All of your books for your new classes are in your room. And, your lessons will start after lunch with Professor Snape."

"Thank you Professor."

"Dobby," as Dobby appeared at the foot of his desk he asked, "will you please show Miss Ginevra to her room?"

"Yes, sir. Dobby be happy to help," Dobby said as he slipped into a low bow.

"Thank you Dobby."

--------------------------------------------------

"Ginny be proud of room?" Dobby asked nervously as they entered her new chambers for the rest of the summer.

"Yes Dobby, it's lovely," Ginny exclaimed as she stared in awe of the magnificent room before her.

There was a bed along one whole wall of the room, the frame was made from dark ash wood and the mattress was decorated with purple silk sheets. On the far right side of the room, there was a dresser with a mirror attached to the top made of the same wood as the bed frame. Next to the dresser was a walk-in closet big enough to be a whole other room. On the same wall as the doorway to enter the room was another door that lead to the bathroom. In the middle was a rounded bathtub 3 feet deep and 10 feet wide topped with a purple shower curtain that encircled the tub for privacy surrounded by a white tiled floor and a white sink and toilet off to the left.

"This is just your room. There guest rooms over there," Professor Dumbledore said from the doorway, pointing to the left of the room. "Right now there is only one room. But, you can add up to ten more if you like. And the back door entrance to the kitchen is through that door in front of the spare room."

Ginny smiled and nodded. "Thank you Professor. This room is beautiful!"

"Well, then, it's all yours for the rest of the year Miss Weasley."

"Really?!" Ginny squealed as Professor Dumbledore nodded his head in agreement and smiled. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't believe it!"

"Your welcome. Are you ready for lunch?" he asked as he turned to leave.

"Yes, sir!"

"Good, now follow me."
