Hey guys here's the new chapter. This was originally chapter 5, but then the whole scene with Tonks came to me and I pushed this back a bit. I would like to dedicate this chapter to my Mum as she gave me the idea.:D.

Chapter 6-Finally My Sister

Even though I knew Harry, Ron and Hermione were safe, I still couldn't help but worry about them and miss them. And those are the reasons why I've settled back into the pattern I'd performed before Tonks had come.

It was announced a few weeks ago that attending Hogwarts was now compulsory for everyone. My parents weren't going to send me back but, now they have to.

September 1st was fast approaching and I was worried, although I didn't show it to any of my family members when the subject came up. Only Dad had gone to buy my school books this year. He had said Diagon Alley was almost completely deserted, and that all the streets were being patrolled by Death Eaters. I hadn't been through any of my books, especially the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies books. After looking at the titles, I was afraid of what I would find in them. Dad had also announced that there was a rumour circling that some Death Eaters would be teaching this year. I hoped not, but had a strong feeling it was true.

Bill and Fleur had come back from their honeymoon last night. Bill had flooed over to tell us they were back, and that everything had been fine.

"Ginny! Come set the table!" my Mum yelled from below. I stood up and left my room for the kitchen. Bill and Fleur were coming over for dinner tonight. I entered and found her hurrying around while pots cleaned themselves in the sink. "Oh, good. Eight plates, dear, and knives, forks and spoons," she said when she noticed I was in the room.

"Yes, mum," I replied taking out the plates. I was setting out the glasses when I heard the familiar sound of someone flooing into the house.

"Hey Gin, Mum," said Bill walking into the kitchen, Fleur right behind him. He gave me a hug and walked over to Mum.

"'Ello, Geeny," said Fleur giving me a hug. Surprisingly, I returned it. She looked at me a little stunned, before shaking it off and going to say hello to Mum.

Wait, when have I been so nice to her?

Since the moment she said 'I do' in the same loving voice as Bill.

Oh, right.

"Ginny, what are you doing? Keep setting the table!"

"What?" I said startled, looking around. Mum rolled her eyes at me and I realised that I had stopped moving while I was thinking. I shook my head, and continued setting down the glasses.

"Bill!" said a voice from the kitchen entrance. I turned and saw Charlie standing there, beaming.

"Hey Charlie!" said Bill pulling him into an embrace. I smiled. They had always been so close and it was a cute sight to witness.

"Ginny, would you mind calling the twins?" asked my Mother.

"Aren't we going to wait for Arther?" asked Fleur.

"Oh, no. The Ministry's been keeping him late these past few weeks," replied Mum, slightly agitated.

"O," said Fleur, while Bill looked solemn. I took the momentary silence to go and tell the twins that dinner was ready. I walked up the stairs and knocked on their door.

"What?" called one of them from inside.

"It's dinner time!" I called back.

"Ok!" they both called back. I made my way back down the stairs and into the kitchen to find Bill and Charlie already seated, whilst Fleur helped Mum serve out dinner. Just as I took a seat opposite them, the twins entered.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Billy-" began Fred.

"And his veela wife," ended George. "Finally decided to grace us with your presence, huh?"

"It's nice to see you both too," said Bill rolling his eyes.

"Geeny, would you like some karrots?" asked Fleur politely.

"Oh, um, yes, please," I said awkwardly. She looked at me unsure for a moment, before smiling and adding a scoop of carrots to my plate.

Ohkay, then.

"So, you two, how was it?" asked Charlie once everyone was seated and eating.

"Great. We didn't get to go outside much because of the weather, but we found ways to keep ourselves entertained," replied Bill enthusiastically.

"Mmm, shagging is very entertaining," said George conversationally and I choked on my drink.

"George!" said Mum, smacking the back of his head, then slapping my back. When I had stopped choking, I looked up to find Bill and Fleur very red in the face, whilst Charlie and Fred were trying to hide their snickers from Mum. Looking back at Bill and Fleur's expressions, I couldn't help but laugh.

"What was that?" asked my Mum a little too politely.

"Nothing," I mumbled back. We continued eating our dinner-Fred and George cracking more jokes on what Bill and Fleur spent their honeymoon doing-and they were discussing the war when we had dessert. Hearing them talk about the war made me think of Harry, and I felt saddened.

"Can I be excused, please?" I asked quietly. My Mother studied me, as did my brothers.

"Alright," she replied and I stood up and made my way to my room. Once inside, I went and lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I thought of all the time I had spent with Harry the past year. Quidditch practice, the holidays, our wonderful first kiss, our little talks, the romantic picnic we had down by the lake, our snogging sessions in the broom cupboards, Dumbledore's death, Harry breaking up with me. I had to stop for a second as tears welled up in my eyes. I had cried then, and still cried to this day over it. Before I could indulge myself in tears, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I called in a surprisingly, steady voice.

"Eet's mee!" called Fleur through the door.

What in the world is she doing here?

"Um, come in," I called back in an unsure voice. I sat up as she opened the door. She looked at me and made her way over to my bed.

"Can I seet down?" she asked me.

"Uh, sure," I replied. She sat down and looked at me.

"'Ow are you feeeling?"

"Feeling about what?" I asked her confused.

"'Arry's absence?" I sat there stunned.

"How did you-?"

"Zere was a lot of tenzion between you both," she replied.

"Oh," I replied. I couldn't believe she noticed. She stared at me with a look in her eyes. After a moment, I realised what it was. Concern. She cared about me. Guilt welled up inside of me. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" she asked confused.

"For taking so long to realise that you're a good person," she looked at me stunned for a moment, before smiling warmly.

"I knew you would come around iventually," she said grinning and I smiled. My smile faded.

"What is eet?" she asked concerned again. I sighed.

"I'm going back to Hogwarts."

"And?"

"And, I don't know how to help our side," she looked at me confused.

"What do you meen?"

"Like, I don't know how to-how to contribute to the war," I said helplessly. It was true. Everyone in my family had a role except for me. I know I had helped bring the ghoul down, but that wasn't a job that would last all year.

"Well, for starterz, you could go to 'Ogwartz."

"I have to. It's compulsory now."

"O," she said surprised.

"Yeah, they announced it while you and Bill were on your honeymoon," she nodded, understanding. We sat in silence, both thinking of something I could do.

"Well, I rimember Beel telling me of 'ow when you were little, your parents would buy you dresses, but you would never wear zem. You would walk around dressed in shorts and a top, with a satizfied smirk on your face," I smiled, remembering.

"Yeah, but I was just rebelling-" I stopped speaking as realisation hit me and Fleur smiled triumphantly. "I'll rebel," I stated quietly and she nodded enthusiastically. "Wait, aren't you not supposed to encourage me to do this?"

"Technicallee, but I just want you to do a little bit of rebelling, not too much," she replied and I smiled. I knew what I had to do. I would show those Death Eaters that they couldn't boss me around. That I wouldn't follow them and their "master". Neville and Luna would probably help me. Maybe even the remainders of the D.A. Hermione had left me the head coin. We could send a message to the others and reunite the D.A. Maybe even get a few others to join. Excitement boiled up inside me.

"Thank-you, Fleur," I said looking her in the eye.

"No problem," she replied still smiling. "Shall we go back down stairz?" I nodded and we stood up. "By ze way, zank-you for laughing back at dinner."

"What are sisters for?" I replied laughing and then I realised what I had said. Fleur was looking at me, beaming. I smiled and hugged her. Gabrielle was lucky.

"Well, if we're sisters, zere is one zing we must do," she stated.

"And what's that?" I asked her confused.

"Talk about boyz," I laughed. "But, we can do zat anozzer time."

"Anytime," I said smiling at her. We walked back down the stairs and entered the kitchen. Mum, Bill, Charlie and the twins were all looking at us with shocked expressions, but we just smiled and sat down. Eventually Bill smiled and they continued on with their previous conversation. The rest of the night was quite pleasant, especially when Dad arrived and saw that they were home. He was so relieved and happy.

When it was nearing midnight, they thought it was appropriate to head home, and I gave Fleur a big hug.

"Don't be a stranger," I said to her, smiling.

"Same to you," she replied, moving on to say goodbye to my parents.

"So, you two finally get along now?" asked Bill as he hugged me goodbye.

"Yep. She's finally my sister," I replied and he pulled away smiling.

"Good. It's about time," we laughed and Bill went first. Before leaving, Fleur smiled and waved at me, and I waved back. She was finally my sister.
