Hello fellow Harry Potter fanfiction readers. This is the next chapter for Harry Potter and the Journey to Another World.
The next day they all met up in Ginny's room for breakfast. They were all gathered on her bed, their breakfast plates resting in their laps.
"So last night over eating these completely amazing seafood crepes for dinner, I told Josh how all of our luggage got on a wrong plane somehow and sent off to an island off the coast of Australia." Said Ginny nodding slightly to the three of them, who looked very confused. "They said that would take at least a few weeks to get them back. And that's why we don't have any clothes. And guess what? He works as a model at a clothing store in the summer, and he called his manager, and got me an interview for another modeling job promoting their summer collection for one o'clock later today. And if I get in I will get thirty percent off of all of their clothing there. Plus I get to wear out what ever I model so I can show it off and hopefully get more people to buy their clothes. How fantastic is that? I get to be a model for a day and I get to get a brand new outfit for free!" Harry rolled his eyes. He was really starting to get sick of Josh and his ideas.
"Wow isn't that great." Said Harry sarcastically venom dripping was from his every word. "While you were off chatting about clothes and eating crepes, H- Jean and I found a shop that would exchange our, ah replica galleons for money. We won them for a contest a while back. They are complete replicas of the galleons mentioned in the Harry Potter series. They have the same gold count and everything. So when we traded thirty of them in we now have three hundred two dollars and ten cents to buy clothes and anything thing else that we need." Harry was proud of himself. I mean he got solid money and what did Josh get? Oh yeah he got a chance for them to buy clothes. And Ginny might not even get the job. I mean yes she is completely drop dead gorgeous and the most beautiful woman in his eyes but it's not for Josh to pint that out.
"You do know that that is only about seventy-five dollars per person right?" asked Josh Harry hadn't thought about that. "Wow I spent more than that on one pair of low rise, dark wash, vintage denim jeans. And they were on sale and everything. But if Jenny gets the job, which I know she, will I mean look at her. She is just completely gorgeous. I have already seen the outfit, the director showed it to me the last time I had a photo shoot, and it will compliment her skin tone and eye color perfectly. But the point is she can get you all clothes at a much lower price. Trust me I have been to enough places and I know a deal when I see one. Like all the clothes that I bought with me were all purchased at that store. My cousin lives a little bit away from here and brought all my suitcases and stuff over last night. By the way, how did you get the galleons if all of your bags were all sent off to Australia?"
"I had them with me in my purse." Said Hermione "I wouldn't want anyone to steal them. They do have gold in them. My cousin left her engagement ring in her checked bag one time. It was gorgeous, had diamonds all over it. I don't even know why she took it off in the first place. And one of the baggage handlers stole it. I mean eventually they found it, but I don't put expansive stuff in my checked baggage anymore."
"Yeah I understand I was telling Jenny-" began Josh but Ron interrupted him in mid- sentence.
"Wait Jenny?" asked Ron "her name is Jennifer, right?" Ginny glared at him.
"You know my name is Jennifer. I have known you for sixteen years. If you didn't that would be really sad." Said Ginny laughing slightly. Ron nodded his head. "And Josh knows my name."
"I know her name is Jennifer, but I asked her last night if she would mind if I called her Jenny instead," Said Josh "it's just shorter and it sounds kinds like Ginny. And we all know that she looks like Ginny. I mean she has red hair and brown eyes." They heard music coming from another room. "Sorry that's my sister calling. I'll be back as soon as I can. It might take a while she can talk like nobody's business." He got put his plate on the floor and walked out of the room into his room.
"You told him that our luggage was sent to Australia?" asked Harry half shouting half whispering. He bent over closer over to Ginny and added, "Why would you do that? He could catch on. I mean who is actually going to believe that our luggage was sent to Australia?"
"I couldn't really tell him that the reason I don't have a second outfit is because we are from a different dimension could I?" asked Ginny "now I am getting a onetime modeling job with Josh I can actually get some clothes. It's onetime because I can't really keep a job if we are going to go back to our own dimension. And why are you whispering?"
"I didn't want him to hear us. And what about all of the money that Hermione and I got?" asked Harry he had to say something and not let Josh get all of the credit. "We got three hundred and two dollars."
"To split with four people." Said Ginny "and with seventy five dollars. I could get a ton of clothes for all of us. And we need to save some of our money to get other stuff. Besides Hermione and I are the same size so we can share the clothes. So we can have one hundred and fifty dollars to spend on our clothes. You should be thanking me Harry, what's up with you all of a sudden?"
"I just don't want someone coming in and messing up our friendship," Said Harry "I mean he seems like a smart guy to figure out that three hundred and two divided by four is about seventy-five. I just don't want him to discover our secret."
"Speaking of secrets, when were you going to tell us that you slept under the stairs in your aunt and uncle's house for ten years?" asked Hermione to Harry. They all looked at him then at Hermione. She added "I finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets last night. So Harry, why didn't you tell us?"
"I didn't think that it was information worth telling." Said Harry as if that cleared up the matter.
"Not information worth telling." Said Hermione disbelievingly "you were living under stairs for most of your life. In a cupboard. Harry that is borderline abusive. I used to think that monster lived in the cupboards when I was little." They all looked at her like she was delusional. She ignored all of their looks and added, "At the very least you could have told someone. You could have told Dumbledore. Or us even."
"Yeah mate why didn't you tell us?" asked Ron "we could have like, helped you and stuff."
"I didn't tell you because I had gotten my own bedroom by the time I went to Hogwarts. It didn't seem important." Said Harry then added a few seconds later, "It still isn't important."
"Harry we are your best friends you should be able to tell us anything. Seriously why didn't you tell us?" asked Hermione
"I didn't tell you or anyone else because when I came to the wizarding world, everybody expected me to grow up adored, and admired. Not neglected and resented." Said Harry "yes I should have told you but when I was at Hogwarts it was like I could pretend like I grew up a different way." they gave him sympathetic looks. "I know it sounds kind of pathetic. I just wanted to be the person that everyone thought I was." Harry looked down at his lap. Ginny walked over and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Harry was going to say something but at that exact moment Josh walked back into the room.
"Ok Jenny it's twelve thirty," said Josh "we should leave really soon if we want to make your interview. I have complete faith that you are going to get it. And if you don't I will slap some sense into him." He smiled. Ginny took her hand off of Harry's shoulder and walked up to Josh.
"Yeah lets go. I can't wait to see the outfit." Said Ginny she and Josh walked out of the room. Harry was furious.
"I hate that guy." Said Harry he got up from his seat "she was going to say something and he just blunders in and messes it all up."
"You still like her don't you?" asked Hermione Harry nodded his head. "You have to tell her. Face it Harry. You dated Cho Chang. She ran away crying. You had Ginny you pushed her away because you wanted to fight Voldemort."
"That's not the same." Said Harry "I had to break up with her. I only did it to save her life."
"You push didn't Ron and I away." Said Hermione
"That was different." Said Harry "you both offered to come."
"And she didn't?" asked Ron Harry stared at the ground. "Ginny is way more proud and strong then you think. She was the one to break up with her past boyfriends. And she had reasons too. Michael Corner was a bad loser. Dean Thomas was always trying to help her do things. As if she couldn't take care of herself. But the point is you broke up with her for no reason." Harry was about to speak but Ron interrupted him. "No I understand that it was to keep her safe but face it Harry, she went back to Hogwarts. It was under control of the Carrows. She wasn't safe there either. She had to be pulled out of school during Easter break. The thing is, you broke up with her to keep her safe. You made her feel like she needed your help. I don't think she did. And I am sure that Voldemort already knew that you two were dating. And anyone who knew Ginny just about her entire life knew that she has had a major crush on you. So your reason didn't really stand up."
"Your right." Said Harry surprisingly
"I am?" asked Ron incredulously "wow. I was just taking a long shot there but I guess it paid off."
"No but you are right." Said Harry "I did push her away. She didn't need my help. She doesn't need anyone's help. I can't lose her."
"Wait lose her where?" asked Ron
"To Josh." Said Harry as if it was the most obvious thing in the world "he got her a model job, they go out to eat, have you seen the way that they look at each other? If I'm not careful I will loose her to him." and with that harry walked out of the room.
"What do you want to do now?" asked Ron
"I would really like to finish the other five books." Said Hermione walking out of the room also. Ron walked out of Ginny's room and to his own. He went over to the bookshelf.
"Yeah like I'm really going to read seven books about stuff that already happened in my life." Said Ron sarcastically he flopped down on his bed and flipped on the TV.
