GINNY'S POV
"Okay, here you are, Kings cross station. That'll be 80 quid." the cabbie said lazily.

Arthur easily pulled out the muggle money he always kept for this occasion "Er, can you help me count this?" he asked the cabbie, after several bungled attempts. The cabbie ruled his eyes but helped him all the same, muttering "bloody foreigners" under his breath.

The Weasley gang, as the family was affectionately known by many, got off the taxi with a lot of confusion of luggage, joke products, guitars and pet rats. Ginny, after grabbing her guitar and hit pink trunk, rushed off to the platform - trying (unsuccessfully( to escape her large family.

Ginny ran to the barrier, and before sh knew it she had fallen straight I'n to platform nine and three quarters. A huge grin spread across her face.

"Ginny!" she heard a familiar voice call out. She turned around and saw one of her closest friends-Evelyn.
"Linny!" she squealed and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much!"
"Aww!" Linny laughed "I missed you too!"

Ginny

Ginny suddenly was temporarily blinded by a camera flash.

"Well hellooooo ladies!" Colin joked, putting away hid=s camera as Evelyn and Ginny enveloped him I'n a group hug. It was good to be back.

The three friends walked the the hubbub of patents and children saying their last goodbyes.
"Where's Luna?" Evelyn asked between back-to-school fits if giggles. Just then, Luna spotted them.
"Hello." she said I'n that same airy-fairy voice "it's nice to see you all again."
"nice to see you too!" Colin said happily.

"okay this is cute and all but were about to miss the train!" Ginny yelled impatiently. They all clambered on to the train and started the hint for a decent compartment.

"How about this one?"
"That's a slyhtherin compartment dimwit!"
"This one?"
"There is NO WAY I'm sitting with lavender brown!"

Finally, it was Evelyn who found the compartment.
"Ah, much better." Ginny said as she flopped on the couch. Colin, Evelyn and Luna squeezed next to her.
"How was your summer, Lyn?" Ginny asked.
"It was great! France is wonderful. It's so sunny! The food is really delicious, so-" Evelyn babbled but was cut short by Michael corner sintering I'n the compartment. "Speaking of delicious, you're looking mighty fine, Ginny!"

Ginny groaned going deep crimson and the rest of the group rolled their eyes. "Leave my alone!" Ginny said in a frustrated voice.
"I can tell by the way you're ignoring me that you want me!" Michael continued infuriatingly.

It took about half a second for Colin to stand up snd yell at Michael. "Shove off, you arse!" he shouted. Michael left the compartment, muttering furiously.
EVELYN'S POV

"Well, uh, thanks colin." Gnny said, giving him a one-armed hug.

"It was very sweet of you." Luna said softly, with a strange, longing expression in her eyes. Collin blinked at her in confusion.

"Well I think it was a bit of an over-reaction." Evelyn said frankly.

It was a strength and a weakness, her matter-of-fact-ness. She was never afraid to say her opinion, and not only say iy, but say it loud and proud. She was a fighter, it was how she survived. But it also tended to drive people away. That, and her quick temper, ability to hold a grudge, spiteful nature, know it all attitude and crushing witticisms.

Collin, Ginny and even Luna knew this, but they also knew she had many admirable qualities. She was actually very kind when you got to know her, hghly intelligent and brave. She always stood up for what she believed in. They knew everything about her, they thought.

But they didn't know her biggest secret. No-one did. And Evelyn was determined to keep it that way.
