Ginny POV

I woke up to a startling bright room, the light seemed to be refracting from the pure white walls and straight into my eyes. The entire room had an unusually clean smell to it, in an unnatural way. It was obviously a hospital type of room but I could not remember why I was there. I tried to sit up, to see more of the room, but a sudden stab like pain registered in the middle of my back. I groaned slightly, closing my eyes as I slumped back down onto the too white sheet. I was the hospital wing at Hogwarts, which man had told me when I had last woken up. I must have slammed my back against something when I had fainted.

"My dear, you have finally awakened!" an old but rather pleasant voice spoke from beside her. Ginny turned to her side slowly, trying to catch a glimpse of the man that had spoken. He was sitting beside her, his arms folded lightly in his hands, a small leather bound book in between them. He was rather tall looking, with thick white hair and matching beard all the way down to his waist. He was wearing a rich purple robe with golden stars carefully sewn in, but perhaps the most captivating feature was his twinkling, warm blue eyes. In a way, they reminded me of daddy's and I knew immediately who it must be.

"Professor Dumbledore?" my voice trembled slightly and I felt a light blush creep onto my cheeks. He just smiled kindly down at me, those blue eyes twinkling merrily away as if there wasn't a care in the world, but there was something hidden behind them, locked away from even himself. Despite that, I knew I would like him, he was kindly and seemed more like a grandfather than someone that was one of the most powerful wizards in the world, but it was probably best if I didn't judge simply from looks.

"Yes, and you my dear, must be little Ginny Cullen, you father has spoken very fondly of you," I blushed again, a light pink dusting my already rosy cheeks. A completely horrid thought passed through my mind and I gasped slightly, momentarily forgetting where I was. Immediately professor Dumbledore looked down at me in alarm.

"Professor, you're not going to tell Daddy about this, you know about the whole fainting thing," I looked up at him urgently, trying to pass the message of how that would be a very bad idea. My family could get rather protective if my safety was in any compromise, and me fainting and ending up in the hospital ward for god knows how long was what they would call unsafe. Professor Dumbledore merely smiled, slightly bitterly before answering my question in his oddly pleasant tone.

"I'm afraid you might be a little late on that, my dear. I have already spoken to your father about what had happened on the night it all occurred. He and the rest of your family were very upset and worried about you." I tried my best to hold back the groan threatening to slip out of my mouth as I thought of the things that had probably been running (and might still be) through their heads as they took in the news of me already being injured. Professor Dumbledore was still staring at me and I blushed again as I realized he wanted a response. I swallowed before responding to him.

"Um… What did they say?" I was trying to keep my voice steady but by the slightly amused tone in the professor's tone, I am not sure how well my plan worked.

"Well, they were rather calm, in light of the situation and we managed to reach an understanding, more of an arrangement actually….." his voice broke off in a thoughtful silence. I tried really hard not to groan or any other sound that might worry my professor as I thought of what kind of 'arrangement' my parents could have possibly made for my staying at Hogwarts.

"They are arriving here in a week's time that should give you plenty of time to alert you're friends of such. Do not tell them that they are vampires, at least not yet." He smiled amusedly and then stood up to leave. "I must go now; Miss Granger will soon be here to escort you to the Great Hall. You will be sorted into your house there," I nodded, slightly dazed. He left and not thirty seconds passed until Hermione had walked in, fresh robes and school uniform in her arms. She smiled pleasantly at Ginny, and placed the robes at the end of her bed.

'I am glad to see your up Ginny, we were all really worried!" I felt so bad as she said that. I didn't want to make anyone worried or sad, I didn't deserve it. I smiled at her anyways and grabbed the robes, pretending not to notice the stabbing pain in my lower abdomen. I winced slightly as I stood up to change, and once it had faded away, I looked over at Hermione to see if she had noticed. She was still smiling at me so I felt safe about it. She walked out and closed the curtains around me so I could change in peace. I carefully slipped out of the hospital gown and looked down at the source of my pain.

The large scar ran along my abdomen as a permanent reminder to me. I smiled bitterly as I ran my index finger across it, ignoring the pain shooting from the touch. I was used to it. Daddy thought it was a connection to the man who did it, although he never really knew why. It was directly linked to my moods, which was even stranger. For example, if I was really angry, the pain would turn unbearable.

I snapped out of my unusually dark thoughts and quickly slipping into the uniform. If Edward were to hear my previous thoughts he would have slapped me across the back of my head and then get yelled at by Mama because I was delicate and then Daddy would lecture about how a man should never lay his hand on either woman or child. Yes, it had happened before.

I walked out and smiled, this time a true one, at Hermione. I think she could tell the difference because confusion flashed through her eyes. I giggled before grabbing her hand and dragging her along with me out of the hospital wing and towards my freedom.

"Wait Ginny! Do you even know where you're going?!?" Hermione called out loudly. I stopped running, a confused look crossing my face. I stared up at her innocently.

"No?" She rolled her eyes before taking the lead. I smiled as she didn't let go of my hand. I was starting to like the idea of my family coming and visiting, I wanted them to see the great friends I had already met.

Kinda short but it slightly enlightened Ginny's take on things. I had an interesting view brought up by EmmetRules, who Ginny should end up with. I put a poll up on my profile but incase you don't want to go all the way there I will post the choices up here. Harry (EmmetRules suggestion), or new character, you decide!
