Chapter Seven

The New Care of Magical Creatures Professor

I waved down Colin Creevey and his brother. As usual they embraced me and began rattling on about something. I laughed and turned in a way that I knew would cause the light to catch on my new badge.

Both boys stopped and stared for a moment.

"Ginny? Are you the Head Girl?"

I looked down at my chest in mock surprise. "So I am." I laughed again.

"And quite proud is her family, I can assure you." Came a familiar voice.

I turned and gasped to see my big brother Charlie.

"Charlie!" I shrieked and flung myself at him. I wasn't that tall, though someone once told me that the youngest child was supposed to be the tallest. Infact, I was about three inches shy of Charlie who was among the smallest of us.

Charlie laughed an caught me, spinning me around. I don't know what it is about my big brothers, but Bill and Charlie could always cheer me up no matter my mood. And since I'd been thinking about Harry and Draco alot lately, I needed the distraction.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, releasing him.

"Well, baby sister, since you can't stay out of trouble for more than a month on your own, and since Hagrid was injured..."

He trailed off and spread his arms wide. So my big brother was going to be my teacher. I was suddenly glad I hadn't dropped the class. Not that Hagrid wasn't good, but sometimes he got a little off subject.

As Charlie helped me get my trunk on the train, I thought I saw a glimspe of Draco's pale blonde hair, but when I turned to look, there was nothing.

I put it out of my head and headed toward the Prefect's cabin.
