September 3rd, 1998
Dear Harry,
I got here all right. Classes started today…We had DADA, Care of Magical Creatures, and Potions. DADA was with a bloke called Professor Goodman. He's okay, much better than some of the other teachers we've had. Care of Magical Creatures was taught by Hagrid, of course, and the first thing he said to me was "How's Harry?" He's a sweet man, really. Potions was taught by Professor Westlake. According to an anonymous source (Lavender), Slughorn died from the shock of the war. I told her that you had just seen him, and he was very much alive, and she got all dreamy-eyed and started talking about how wonderful you were. You'd be happy to know that I resisted the urge to punch her.
How are things at home? Hermione's seriously depressed without you and Ron. She spends the whole day in the library, reading, studying, you name it.
Anyway, give everyone my love, and ask Mum if she could send me my blue jumper. Tell her I left it on the kitchen table.
Love, Ginny.

Ginny-
Interesting teachers. Slughorn decided to retire. After all, he's really old. You can tell that to Lavender. Also tell her that I'm your boyfriend. Good job with the non-violent tactics.
Tell Hermione to get out of the library. It's unhealthy. Dust inhalation and all that. Teach her to ride a broom, or something. If you are brave enough to teach her to ride a broom, send me some pictures. I'm sure that that will a good laugh.
Speaking of brooms, are you playing Quidditch?
Anyway, your mum said she already sent it to you and for Merlin's sake, be a little more efficient.
Love, Harry.
P.S. Forgive me?

Harry-
I made the team. I'm Chaser, of course. They wanted me to play Seeker, but I much prefer Chaser, to be honest. The Seeker is this bloke named Patrick Clove. Never heard of him before. Have you?
I tried getting Hermione out of the library, I honestly did. Then she threatened to hex me, and I decided it was best to leave her alone.
Love, Ginny.
P.S. No.

Ginny-
That's great! Congratulations! And no, I don't remember a Patrick Clove.
Good try with Hermione.

P.S. What about now?

I won't forgive you.

Why not?
-Harry
P.S. Did Hermione get the birthday present I sent her?
X.x.X.x.X
September 25th,
Harry-
She got the present. You made her so happy. A book! Wow. You know just the thing for everyone.
I won't forgive you because if I do, I lose some leverage I have against you. Plus, this is kind of funny.
-Ginny.

October 12th,
Ginny-
Sorry about the lack of letters. It's really hectic over here. The Aurors caught a bunch of Death Eaters, and some people they thought might've confided in Voldemort when he was still around. I've had to testify against them all.
How are classes going? Hermione wrote me and said Hagrid's doing really well this year.
Picking out Hermione's present wasn't that hard. I went to Flourish and Blotts and asked them which books Hermione hadn't bought yet. There were only about a dozen. Plus, she loves Arithmacy.
-Harry.
P.S. Forgive me now?

November 1st,
Harry-
It's been busy around here, too. Lots of classes. That means lots of homework.
They have a list of Hermione's purchases? That's…not right.
We have a match tonight. Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor.
-Ginny.
P.S. That's a negative.

November 5th,
Ginny-
Did you win?
-Harry
P.S. Forgive me?
X.x.X.x.X
November 21st,
Harry-
Yes we won. 260-120.
-Ginny
P.S. No.

November 30th,
Ginny-
Good job.
-Harry.
P.S. I'll make you forgive me someday.

December 21st,
Harry-
Heading home now.
-Ginny.
P.S. 5 sickles say that by the end of the holidays, you still won't have my forgiveness.

When Ginny got on the train back to Hogwarts, she was five sickles richer, and a whole lot happier.
A/N: Review! I don't like this one as much, but I needed something to bridge the gap between start of school to Christmas. I may or may not do a Christmas one. It depends if I'm feeling festive. Review please! Suggestions, criticism, whatever!
