Disclaimer: like I've said before I own nothing.

A/N: I'm really sorry about all the spelling errors. Remember, I'm only fourteen and I do have a life. So I have very little time to write this stuff, and when I do I'm usually tired and generally tend to ignore spelling errors. I'll try to do better about that.

Over the next two weeks Ginny had grown quite fond of all of them, with the exception of Peter, who actually wasn't such a bad guy yet. She was excelling in her new classes, due to having taken them all once before. Dumbledore still hadn't been able to come up with the slightest clue as to how to get her home. So she decided day one to enjoy here time in the past.

"Dru, get over here!!!" Sirius called from downstairs in the common room.

Ginny shook her head. What did that boy want now? Everytime he called her over nothing good would come of it. Generally it was to discuss his plans for causing more mayhem, which Ginny wanted no part of. Although most of his ideas were really quite clever, she had no intentions of getting expelled for school before her own time.

She trotted down the stairs and met all three faces with a smile. James, Sirius, and Remus were standing in line with their hands fiddling with something. James played with a snitch. Sirius held a box of Bertie Botts. While Remus clutched a quill.

As she reached the bottom she stared at all of them wearily. Something was going on. Ginny wasn't positive that there was something mischievous was going on, but she was almost positive. She looked at them fiddling with objects, a little twitchy, while smiling with almost convincing angelic faces.

"Ok, before you all tell me what's going on I want nothing to do with any trouble you three may be plotting. I shall hear none of it! I've told you boys before I cannot, under any circumstances allow myself to participate in these games that might cause my expulsion. Do you understand?" She gave a warning glare at them all.

"Look, we're not in the business of causing trouble of any sort at the moment. Actually we called you to ask you for some assistance in the educational area." James carefully worded his statement.

"Translation?" Ginny shrugged.

"We need you to tutor us." Remus sighed as if he were ashamed.

"Why can't you tutor them?" Ginny asked him, knowing fully that he was one of his years's smartest.

"Well, I tried, but they weren't exactly getting anywhere. And to tell the truth, I can't teach them much when I'm not fully aware of the whole concept of this stuff myself." Remus looked down at his feet.

"Ok, I'll help you." Ginny decided.

"See Remus, I told you." Sirius tried to whack him upside the head but the boy ducked and his hand hit nothing but air.

"But only with a few conditions." Ginny raised an eyebrow evilly.

"And what might these conditions be?" James asked mockingly.

"I will help you for anywhere from one to two hours a day. You will all meet me here at eight every weekday night, and come prepared with all homework assignments, quills, parchment, books, and anything else you may need. I demand that you be serious about this stuff too. If you all goof off while I'm trying to teach you I'll leave and our little tutoring sessions will be over. Do you understand?" Ginny smirked.

"I guess." Sirius made a pouty face.

"That's it?" James arched an eyebrow.

"Wait a minute, I wasn't finished. Did you really think I was doing this all for nothing? Honestly, I thought you would know better! For ten minutes a day you are to do my bidding. Whatever I say." She grinned.

"You mean like your slaves?" Sirius seemed appalled.

"Exactly! It's only ten minutes. I'm sure you can spare ten measly minutes." Ginny laughed.

"What would you have us do?" Remus looked at her skeptically.

"Not much. Read to me, feed me cherries, massage me, pamper me. Just little things like that." She shrugged.

"I'm in." James nodded.

"Me too I guess." Remus added.

Then they all stared at Sirius and wondered what he was doing. He glared at Ginny as if she were the meanest creature on earth. She was half- sure he was going to turn around and leave, but he didn't. He sighed and nodded too, letting her know he too agreed.

"Well then gentlemen, it's been a pleasure talking to you, but I really must get back to my room. I have um. . . things. . . to do at the moment. I expect to se you all here at eight." She blew a kiss down to them as she climbed up the stairs.

When Ginny returned to her room she sighed and closed the door. She was once again alone. The other girls were very nice to her, but they didn't seem to bond very much. She seemed to get along better with the boys and often took advantage of her alone time when the girls were all out and about.

She flopped down onto her bed and sighed. She imagined Harry in her mind, although she had been around someone almost exactly alike him, she missed Harry. She loved his green eyes and the way they lit up when he smiled. He loved the way his hair was always messy, even when he tried to fix it. Yet she was finding it hard to remember much of him now. Many memories of Harry, Ron, and Hermione were being replaced by newer memories of James, Sirius, and Remus.

Carefully she got up and went into her closet and pulled out her wallet. Inside of it she had kept pictures of Harry, Ron, Hermione, her parents, her other brothers, and a few pictures of other various people.

She had to keep it hidden at all times. People could not see these pictures. If they did terrible things could happen. Like for instance if Lily saw the picture of Harry she might not immediately get that it was James' son not James himself and might take it the wrong way. Or if she did realize it was his son, whom might she guess as the mother? Certain things were meant to happen in a certain order, and Ginny had no intentions of messing up that order.

"Ginny, are you in here?" Remus cracked the door.

"Yeah, over here." Ginny quickly stashed the wallet away.

"Are you ok? You've been awfully quiet today. Is something up?" He asked with concern as he sat down on her bed.

"I'm fine. I'm just thinking." She sat beside him and let herself fall onto the bed.

He turned to look at her and was quiet for a moment. Ginny could see his eyes upon her, but it was one of those times here you can see them looking at you, but they're not concentrating. Like when your mind and body are two different places at once. She stared at him and noted how different he was from in his future. In the future his face shown many years of stress and loneliness. Right now he only showed signs of a boy. Just a regular teenage boy, with very few cares. Ginny wondered when it all changed.

He sat there for a few minutes and then his expression changed. He looked puzzled and confused and his eyes were staring at the floor. She wondered what was going on in his mind. What was he thinking?

She sat up and waved a hand in front of his face and he gave no signs of recognition. Whatever was going on he seemed angry now. It was starting to scare and worry Ginny. She wasn't sure if she should snap him out of it or leave him. So she carefully scooted closer and let out a sigh.

"Remus? Remus?" She whispered.

"Hmm?" He shook his head and realized that he had zoned out.

"Are you ok? You looked upset?" Ginny stood up so that they could leave the room.

"I'm fine. I just thought of something." He still seemed distressed.

"Is everything all right?" She wondered.

"I think so. I'm sorry, let's go eat. You're probably hungry by now." He got up and followed her out.

The rest of the night was fine. They all ate as much as usual and went back to the common room where they stayed for hours swapping embarrassing stories. Ginny was the only one not to have told anything.

"So then I froze when she said my name because I had no clue she even knew I existed. She called me over to her table to ask for help and on my way there one of the Sytherins dropped a banana peel and I hadn't noticed. I slipped and fell face first. All my papers went flying everywhere and my book hit her friends drink and it spilled all over her robes. I was so humiliated." Remus blushed as Sirius and James laughed.

However Ginny didn't find it so funny. She had had experience in making a fool of herself in front of her crush. She had done stupid things in front of Harry so many times she could hardly count.

"What about you Ginny?" James smiled.

"Well, I've done so many stupid things. There was this one particular time that has always stood out in my mind. My father took all my brothers and this guy I liked, we'll call him Henry for now, to a big Quidditch game. I had to stay home. I figured the guys would be gone a couple of days and so this one morning I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen in my pajamas, which was just my underwear and a spaghetti strap at the time. As it turned out the match had only lasted a few hours and they came home early. They all saw me and for a few minutes I had no idea they were even there. They had all turned away and my mother entered and just gasped. Dropped the bowl she was carrying and screamed 'What on earth are you doing child?' Two of my brothers were then in hysterics as I turned around and saw Henry sitting right behind me. I ran upstairs and locked myself in my room for the next forty eight hours refusing to come out." Ginny covered her face.

"That tops them all!!!" Sirius laughed.

"I don't know why I even told you people this. You're going to use this against me until the day I . . ." She normally would have said die, but she would eventually be leaving this place.

They all grew quiet. Ginny looked down at the floor. She realized that for the first time she felt like she really fit in. She wasn't being forced anywhere, and she wasn't in the way either. And these people truly wanted to be around her. Ginny suddenly realized, she didn't want to go back.

A/N: I have the next chapter all ready finished. I'll post it soon. I really enjoyed writing the next chapter. Probably because I'm such a loser. Oh well, please review. I really appreciate those of you who are reviewing. It really does help.
