A/N: Who wants to know more about this sister that Draco never mentioned before?

Well I was rereading my 5th chapter and I caught something that it seems no one caught (at least when I wrote this, I haven't checked my reviews today).

It seems that I forgot to put in that Ron gave Harry a gift. So he actually gave Harry a color-changing quill, so if I use this in later chapters know that Ron gave it to him for his birthday.

As for Reese Jewell, she will be explained in later chapters, you'll just have to wait for that.

Oh and there is a couple of cuss words in here, but they are about April.

And now on to Chapter 6…

Chapter 6: Back to Hogwarts

It was near the end of Harry's birthday party and night had fallen whenHermione spotted Ginny leading Harry towards the orchard. She smiled, and hoped Ron didn't notice. They looked so cute together. There was only two things she was worried about. Ron and the notice of Harry's absence, it was his party after all.

"Hermione, wanna go into the orchard?" Ron asked his eyebrows doing that up and down thing.

"Uh… no, I think we should stay here, Harry will notice if we leave, he might not appreciate it on his birthday..." Hermione thought quickly.

"I guess you're right."

"Later Ron, I promise."

A/N: sorry to put this right there but for the ones who have perverted minds (no offense), Ron and Hermione have done nothing like that! i don't like to put these in the middle of text but...

"Harry, mind if I steal you for a little while?" Ginny whispered into Harry's ear.

Harry turned and looked at her, she was wearing a yellow sundress that hugged her curves just perfect. Right, Harry thought, like she even has to ask.

"Sure." Ginny took his hand and led him off to the orchard, hoping no body saw them, especially Ron. Even if Harry was his best friend, he would still go AWOL on him. Ron was going to be protective over Ginny no matter who it was that dated her.

Ginny pulled Harry to the end of the Weasley property, where she looked nervous. Harry wasn't sure why but he didn't particularly care either.

"So, is there anything you particularly wanted to talk about?" Harry asked. Ginny nodded and tucked her hair behind her ear and sighed.

"I don't know why I'm so nervous, I mean… well I have another gift for you, but I didn't want to give it to you in front of everyone, especially Ron," Ginny said at last and pulled a small wrapped package from behind a tree. She handed it to Harry who looked at her intently then slowly opened the gift. It was a royal blue picture frame it was decorated with jewels that sparkled in the moonlight. Harry looked at the picture that she had placed in it. It was a picture of Ginny at her 15th birthday party, her face was lit up and she looked as if nothing could be better in her life. He watched the picture as Ginny laughed, her hair swung forward and then gracefully fell back past her shoulders as she shook it.

Harry looked up to see Ginny waiting for his reaction to the gift. He smiled and replied to her, "Ginny, thank you. Trust me I'll treasure this."

Ginny seemed to relax at this statement. Harry was still smiling when he spoke again.

"Ginny, I think we both know how the other feels about each other…" Harry looked at Ginny, she nodded indicating that she knew what he was talking about. "Well, I guess that I want… you to be my girlfriend."

"Harry, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment! I'm so glad that you're over… April."

At this Harry laughed. "Right, it doesn't take much to get over her, she a conceited bitch. I don't know what I saw in her."

"I don't know either. But I'm glad you broke up."

Harry was about to respond when he heard his name and realized they had been away from the party for a considerable amount of time.

"We'd better get back Gin. We'll talk later, I promise." Ginny smiled and nodded. She and Harry made their way back through the trees holding hands.

Godric's Hollow (aka: Potter Manor)

At ten o'clock the next morning Harry woke up and made his way into the kitchen where his mother sat as usual reading the Daily Prophet.

"Morning Harry." Lily chirped as she poured herself some orange juice.

"Morning mum." Harry grumbled.

It was twenty minutes before his mother practically pounced on Harry.

"Okay, I've been patient enough! Where were you last night and what were you doing that none of us could find you?"

"I was in the orchard, enjoying a few minutes to myself." Harry replied. He and Ginny had split up before Harry had just appeared as Sirius had put it. He came out of the orchard unnoticed so he was able to slip into the crowd like he was there the whole time though he knew his mom would not have been fooled.

"Riiiiight…" Lily replied skeptically but didn't push the matter any further.

Platform 9 ¾

"Harry Potter! Ohmygosh! Mum! It's Harry Potter!" A raven-haired girl looking to be no more that 8 that was holding her mother's hand was screaming and pointing at Harry. He and Lily had just appeared on the platform.

"Shh! Sally, it's not nice to point."

Harry was far too used to this too care. He heaved his trunk onto the train and turned to his mother when he spotted Ron and hurried over leaving his mother to talk with the Chang's.

"Harry look." Ron pointed to the far side of the platform. There stood Draco Malfoy looking annoyed as his mother gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Wonder why he's so annoyed?" Ron pondered as he and Harry lifted Ginny's trunk up into the train.

"I don't know but by the look on his face, it has nothing to do with his mom kissing him," Harry replied thoughtfully as Hermione walked up them.

"What are you two thinking about?" she asked.

"Malfoy, he's annoyed, not smug." Harry told her nodding his head toward the blonde.

"Oh… wonder why."

The three turned to help with the rest of the trunks so they didn't notice Narcissa Malfoy kiss goodbye another blonde child.

"Ron!" Mrs. Weasley was calling him. "Ron! Get over here!"

Ron walked over a little sluggishly, making it look as if he wanted to do anything but talk to his mom (which was probably true). Ginny ran over to Harry smiling, he smiled back.

At that moment the scarlet steam engine whistled, students started making their way towards the train. Lily hurried over to Harry and gave him a hug and kiss. (what is it with mother's and giving their children kisses?) Ginny wrestled herself free of her mother who had managed to capture her after Lily came over, and appeared at Harry's elbow. The whistle sounded again and Harry took Ginny's hand and they boarded the train with Ron and Hermione following.

Harry pulled Ginny down the corridor looking for a compartment. They found one that was three away from the last compartment.

After they settled themselves in and started talking they didn't notice the pale pointed face boy and two hulky figures pass and go into the very last compartment.

o

The students clambered down out of the carriages and filed into the school.

Malfoy seemed to be extremely annoyed because he was snapping worse than ever at anybody who talked to him and he didn't bother to tease anyone the whole train ride, not even Harry. In fact, he never left his compartment.

Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were not the only ones who found this amusing. They were laughing about it as they were slowly making their way in to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They were on the steps when they spotted him. He was standing not but 10 feet from them and he completely ignored them. Ron found this quite funny and was tempted to call out but Harry stopped him. Ron shrugged and followed Hermione inside.

After finding their seats at the Gryffindor table it wasn't long before Professor McGonagall led in the first years. As usual they all looked pale and scared. All but one. She had blonde hair and a slight tan, it was hard to tell but it looked as if she had black eyes. Strangely enough she looked a lot like Draco Malfoy, except she seemed to lack the cold demeanor he carried around.

The sorting hat started to sing and the blonde girl was driven from the student's minds. When the hat finished singing the whole hall burst into applause. The hat bowed to each table and the teacher before coming still again.

McGonagall stepped forward. "This year we have one non-first year joining Hogwarts this year. She is starting her 5th year in studying magic. Now when your name is called please sit on the stool and wait to be sorted.

She unrolled the parchment she was holding.

"Malfoy, Serenity."

Harry had been holding Ginny's hand under the table dropped it along with his mouth. The blonde girl walked forward and sat on the stool. The hat was placed on her head. Her brother looked at his plate as he waited for the hat to yell out, "SLYTHERIN!"

He and the rest of the hall all got quite a huge shock when it yelled. "GRYFFINDOR!"

A/N: hehe, I'm trouble now aren't I?
