Ginny woke up with a jolt and immediately looked over at the luminescent alarm clock next to her bed, which read 11:20. She strained her ears to try to hear some sort of noise from downstairs that indicated everyone had arrived back while she was asleep, but all she heard was the creaking of floorboards downstairs that she knew was her mother.
She rose from her bed and walked to the door. As she opened it she decided she should grab a book so she could have something to do downstairs. Looking around she spotted a red-covered book, so she grabbed it, opened the door, and went downstairs. After making it down the staircase, she turned to walk into the kitchen and saw her mom there, washing the dishes in the Muggle way. She must be worried Ginny thought, She always charms the dishes…
"Hey mum," said Ginny as she plopped down into a chair at the kitchen table. "How's everything?"
"Fine, dear. Just fine…" Molly trailed off into her thoughts and took a worried expression as Ginny turned around in her seat to face the table and looked at her book. "I'm just worried since nobody is back yet… I didn't think they would get back this late…" Molly trailed off again as she looked at the Weasley family clock and saw all the hands pointing to 'mortal peril' as usual.
Ginny continued watching her mother Resting her chin on her hand, she decided to read. Ginny never really was one for reading because it was always Hermione's job. Though Ginny wasn't necessarily in 'the trio' she still felt close to Hermione (and also Harry).
It was funny how if you hang out with someone for so long, he or she started feeling like family. If Hermione had never been friends with Ron, Ginny probably would have thought she was just weird and never become friends, but Hermione wasn't weird; she was a great person once you got to know her…
She had been reading for about fifteen minutes when she heard a noise from the back lawn. Her and Molly both looked up towards the screen back door and ran forward to see who had come.
Ginny flung open the door and caught sight of Harry and Hagrid standing in the starlight with a slightly glowing hairbrush. Harry threw the hairbrush aside and looked around. Molly hurried forward with her daughter behind her.
It was a relief to see Harry and Hagrid okay and know they were safe… she was only worried about where the others were and what happened…
* Wow. I really didn't intend for this chapter to be so short but I guess I slowly ran out of ideas for this part… I promise the next chapter will be up within an hour or less to make up for its midget-ness!! R&R *
