Chapter 2: Mouse
A rough shaking woke Ginny up. Immediately she started panicking, were her bare arms under the blankets? Who was this? Did they know? Her eyes flew open - it was Molly.
"Its time to get up, we're leaving in two hours! I washed your robes they're right here…" A pause in her mothers talking worried Ginny, but she made herself keep her arms in the relative safety of her covers.
Next time you're sleeping in a sweatshirt! she thought to herself.
"Ginny…"
"What mum, I'm up!"
"What is this?"
She bit her lip, hoping desperately that it would be a misplaced shirt or one of the twins' infernal candies, "what's what?"
"On your carpet, it looks like blood!"
Molly was squatting down, touching the stain that must have come from last night.
"Oh mum, your ridiculous." Ginny said in a shaking voice, "remember when I bought that muggle cranberry juice?" She hoped the excuse would work.
"Oh…yes, of course." Molly murmured before walking out, "remember two hours!"
Ginny refused to let her mothers quick acceptance of the lie bother her. Instead she reminded herself how bloody lucky she was and shook the thoughts from her mind.
She quickly stood and hurried to the shower. She knew her mother had woken her up first, she always did. So she was pleased, though not surprised when the hot water was in full supply. After her shower she dried herself as well as she could in the humid bathroom. She always dressed in the bathroom rather than risking a walk to her bedroom. Her paranoia told her if she left the safety of this room while her cuts were in plain view they would be seen. She pulled her dark skinny jeans and a red tank top on, followed by a fluorescent yellow thick bunny hug. Only once she was sure no separated skin could be seen she opened the door, only to see Ron, his hand held up as if he were about to knock.
"Well about time! Merlin, what takes you so long? get dressed in your bloody bedroom!" he ranted before shoving her out of the way and closing the bathroom door behind him.
She didn't take his words personally, Ron was not a morning person and she knew it.
She went back to her room where she dried her hair as well as possible without magic, then covered her bare feet in mismatched socks. Looking in the mirror she was disappointed in what she saw. She wished she were skinner, wished her skin wasn't so marred by freckles, she wished her lips weren't quite so plump, wished that her face didn't look so young. Really she wished she were someone else. She continued getting ready, and then once she was certain she had not forgotten anything, she pulled her trunk down the flight of steps and set it right by the door. A monstrous pile of toast sat buttered on the table. She grabbed a piece, knowing that her mother would make her take one anyways and nibbled on the crust. After swallowing her mouse bite she headed outdoors. She threw the toast as far as she could, which was quite far considering she was a chaser in Quiditch. She stood outside for a few moments, revelling in the warm familiar air of her home. But when she heard her mother calling she turned heel to head indoors,
"Ginny, here, have some toast!" Molly exclaimed once she saw her daughter, but Ginny shook her head.
"I've had a slice already Mum, and I'm not hungry." She lied and her mother turned away to pawn toast off on somebody else.

The kitchen was full and loud and the trunks had piled quickly by the door. Ron was yelling red faced, because he had somehow managed to let Pig out of his cage and now he was hooting shrilly and refusing to come back down. Fred and George has their wands pulled out and were pointing at Pig and yelling fake spells, much to the dismay of Molly who really wanted that bloody owl to disappear. Pig made people realise just how awesome Errol was. As usual the morning was loud and chaotic, but everything was ready and too soon they were driving away from the burrow and had arrived at the train station. Everybody knew the drill, and one by one they ran through the brick wall into Platform 9 ¾.
Inside was louder than even the burrow could be. The train was whistling, and Molly - among other parents - was trying to hug and kiss everybody good by all while shouting instructions over the noise.
"Fred, George - You behave! Watch over them, don't get in trouble! Ron, do your work and, Harry dear please don't try to save the world again!" She gave a relieved smile to Hermione, "I know you can keep them on task!" She said briskly, and then with a giant wave and a few tears she let them get onto the train. Everybody disbanded almost immediately. Ron, Harry and Hermione gave Ginny an apologetic smile before hurrying to find a compartment, where no doubt they would be plotting their next great adventure.
George winked and Fred smiled and then they too left, in search of somebody to sell something to surely. This left Ginny standing alone, and she quickly began to walk with fake purpose, not wanting to look as lonely as she felt.
