Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter than I wouldn't have to make up these stories.

Harry Potter trudged through the muddy street of the camp he was assigned to. It had rained the night before so the mud was up to his ankles, leaving a mucky brown residue on his boots.

Harry, however, didn't notice. He was too busy thinking of someone.

A certain someone with fiery red hair, big blue eyes, a tall, slender build and a smile that could light up the darkest night.

Ginny Weasley.

Just the thought of her made Harry feel warm inside.

`God, I haven't seen her in forever.' He thought sadly. `And I probably won't see her for a long time.' He added, gloomily, reaching his makeshift tent.

"Having a tough day, Harry?" Harry smiled at Ron Weasley, his best friend and future brother and law.

"Yeah...I miss Ginny." Harry said, slumping in a chair. Being a General had it's advantages. He had a large tent, complete with a nice bed, a table, a plush chair, a desk and a wizard radio.

Ron sighed. "Who doesn't? She's the only Weasley child not off at war...Probably for the better. Mum would break if any of us died."

Harry nodded. "I just want to be able to see her for a bit...make sure she's alright...and that she's staying faithful."

"You think she's cheating on you?" Ron asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"No...It's just a dream I had, nothing more."

Ron nodded in a suspicious manner. "You and your dreams..." he muttered.

Harry just grinned. "Yeah, I do have a lot of them." he said.

"Too many, if you ask me." Ron said, throwing a pillow at him.

Harry was just about to launch a counter attack when Hermione Granger, his other best friend, rushed in, an excited look on her face.

"You guys! You guys! You'll never guess who just owled the Commander!"

"Why don't you save us the trouble of guessing and tell us strait out." Ron said, lounging on the small couch.

"It's from Dumbledore!" Hermione squealed.

The sound of Dumbledore's name made both Harry and Ron sit strait up.

"What does he want?" "Is something wrong?" "Is Ginny alright?" Hermione waved her hand, silencing their questions.

"If you'll be quiet, I'll read it!" she snapped.

Once they were silent, she began. "Dear Commander Brinks, I write to you on official business. Last night the Death Eaters made an attack on Hogwarts." Harry gasped and Ron paled.

"Mind you, no one was killed but they managed to get in the Great Hall before the protection spells stopped them. I now need more than spells and charms to keep the students safe. I request that you send your twenty of your best soldiers to help defend the castle. Perhaps you should send back some of the Hogwarts alum, for a family visit. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School and Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Hermione stopped reading and looked up at them with a big smile. "The Commander posted the names, right after the letter was sent." She handed them a soggy piece of paper.
