Chapter 4: Oh my God it's you!

Ginny was working her way down the long list of shops in 5th Avenue. Sirius had finally nodded off to sleep and Ginny was enjoying the peace and quiet, not that there was a lot of that in New York City! She had to admit, coming here was a smart move, not that Ronald would ever hear her say that! How he was ever going to find Lavender here she didn't know! But she had a bigger problem- so far she had spent a lot of Harry's money. It was just coming up to about a thousand dollars! She decided to buy him something that would keep him quiet, so she went into a clothing store to take a look.

She looked through various shirts, ties, t-shirts and jeans but couldn't see anything special. She gave up and decided to try another shop. As she turned around with the buggy she bumped into a woman and managed to scrape her arm with a shirt hanger.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!'' said Ginny hastily apologising to the woman who was now bent over Sirius checking to see if he was hurt.

"Hey, don't worry about it! I've made the same mistake enough times with my son's old buggy!''

Ginny froze completely. She recognised that voice, even though she hadn't heard it in years. But it couldn't be, could it?

The woman seemed to be thinking along the same lines because she slowly looked up at Ginny with a dazed expression on her face.

"Ginny?'' whispered Hermione.

"Hermione?'' whispered Ginny.

They paused slightly and then screamed and hugged each other.

"I can't believe it's you! What are you doing here, I thought you were in Bulgaria!''

"It's a long story! Never mind me, what are you doing here, and who's this little one?''

"I'll tell you everything in a sec, let's get out of here and go find a coffee shop or, something!''

As they were in New York, coffee shops were not hard to come by. They found one in a secluded area and sat down. They ordered two cappuccino's and began talking.

"I can't believe that Ron managed to convince you and Harry to follow him here just so he can grovel to Lavender!''

"Well that's the reason why we came! But you still haven't said what you're doing here! Is Viktor here too?''

"Um, no actually he's not. But that's not important Ginny, Sirius is so cute! He has Harry's eyes, definitely! But what about the famous Weasley hair?''

"Good diversion Hermione, I'll get you back for that!'' said Ginny frowning slightly.

"I don't know what you're talking about! Look, where are you guys staying?''

"At the Park Lounge Hotel,'' said Ginny.

"Not anymore! You all have to come and stay with me! I have a big house and it's just me and my son Theo so you'll be ok room wise...''

"Hold it! You have a son! And you never told me!''

"It slipped my mind! He's three, four next week actually.''

"I cannot believe that you never said anything!''

"Well like I said, it's a long story. Look, let's go and get your bags. I've got my car so we can go in that, and I think Theo's old car seat it still in the boot so Sirius will be ok.''

"What about the boys, how will they know where we are?''

"We'll leave a note with my address on it.''

"Fine, you've convinced me! Let's go...''
