Then Ron had to say something like, "Mum, it's not like all of them are going to live in here," said Ron. "Why would you want a baby room for?"

"I'm expecting my sons to visit my once every week, Ronald," said Molly. "Or every day. When you have kids, you better visit me once in a while. And you will do so. Right?"

Sure, Ron is the smartest guy out there, but he knows what to say to his mum to get her off of his back. So he nodded, quickly and Molly beamed at him, the mood in her kitchen changed from eerily silence to cheerful.

— This Time … —

As soon as September 1st came nearer and nearer, everyone were waiting to go to Hogwarts, excitingly. Especially Ginny. Fortunately, Hogwarts has a vault within Gringotts, they're for anyone who doesn't have money or doesn't have enough money to buy school supplies. Arriving at Hogwarts, everyone ignored and sneered at Ginny. No one dares to do anything to her with all of the professors being in the same room as them. As soon as the Sorting Ceremony was over, food appeared on the table and Ginny piled as much food as her plate and dish can hold before digging in. She ate like she haven't eaten in two months (which she hadn't) and she ate the food with small oinking sound.

She finished her first round and was about to get seconds when two owls flew in; one Hogwarts barn owl and the other a big black owl with golden eyes. They dropped the two letters on her head; one fell on the floor and the other fell down on her plate before flying back outside. Scowling at the two stupid birds, Ginny picked up the Hogwarts letter, which was on the floor, she unrolled it, and read.

Dear Miss G. No-Name,

All of your school supplies for this year are currently in your rooms. Please find the time to sort them out before your classes tomorrow. This week's password is Wizengamot.

Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmistress Minvera McGonagall

Although, Ginny is confused; how did she get her school supplies when she never bought any because she don't have much Galleons left and she was never in Diagon Alley in the first place? Yes, she was confused, but she didn't question it. It's there and it's for her. Oh well. She's not complaining. Well, at least now she knows that her school supplies are up-to-date. Did they get her new robes too?

Picking up and looking at the second parchment, it read it; it was from the Ministry of Magic, Madam Bones to be exact.

Dear Miss G. No-Name,

In addition of your sentences by a Mr Cornelius Fudge, you will have to spend two years in Azkaban after you graduate from Hogwarts. Majority of your magic will be suppressed. You will have enough power to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You may keep your current want until you graduate Hogwarts, once you graduate from school, your wand will be taken and snapped. Once your sentence to Azkaban for two years are over, you may get a new wand, occupied with a Ministry's executive. You may live in the Wizard World or in the Muggle World, however, you may not have anything magical, except for your wand. Everything in your household must be items that are not charmed with anything in any kind. You will be under full watch of the Ministry of Magic and will be watched wherever you go. You will be monitor when you are outside of your household. It will be held against you if you do anything illegal and you will be taken in and questioned under Veritaserum.

Reading it over a couple of times, to make sure that she got it right and understand it, she clenched her hands over the letter and crushed it in her hands. Her hands turned white.

How the Hell did this happen?! screamed Ginny, angrily. Didn't Choco said that his decisions can't be overruled by anyone?! This includes any past or future Ministers of Magic?!?! Why in Merlin's grave did this Boney Bitch changed my sentences?! She can't change it! She just can't! She shuddered. Being in Azkaban didn't turn her crazy or stupid. I can't believe it! Arg! This is so not fair! She pouted.

She placed her thoughts and the Ministry of Magic deal in the back of her mind. Right now, she's starving. One thing for sure when you are shoved in a cell in Azkaban, you're stinky, starving, and skinny. Now, excuse her because she's trying to shove two months-worth of food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) in one sitting.

The school year went by, surprisingly quickly. There's still a couple of reporters that tried to sneak into the Hogwarts, all were either caught or didn't get passed the gates. Ginny No-Name was pushed/shoved, sneered at, or was plainly ignored. Students didn't bother with her a lot because many students were getting ready for the O. or their N.E. testings. Some of the younger students just talked behind her back or just did small funny pranks on her, but that's it. They don't want to do any major pranks on her and get caught. After all, Ginny No-Name is a Sixth Year. Luckily, she passed all of her classes last year with an 'Acceptable' and was able to attend classes with the other students that are her age.

Professor McGonagall was unable to find a suitable Transfiguration professor for that school year so she continued to teach the class that subject. All of the other wizards and witches doesn't know a thing about Transfiguration or just want to be a teacher in Hogwarts because of Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Ginny No-Name. All of which were promptly turned down without second thought.

Without Voldemort a.k.a Tom Riddle and You-Know-Who, this year was the best. The Slytherins opened up, a little. A little. You can't really get rid of what you were taught, punished, and pushed to learn in two months time or so, you know. It takes time. However, some Slytherins talked even studied with other students from other Houses next to their own, a couple of Mud – Muggleborns too.

Without Voldemort, everyone has no Dark Lord to worry about. Some known Death Eaters are still lurking about, but they won't dare to enter the grounds of their beloved school. Harry, without being hunted and him hunting for any Horcuxes or Voldemort, he, for once, acted like a teenager. He and Ron are the two new Marauders at Hogwarts. They played pranks on everyone. Harry found a book of pranks that was done by his dad and his friends when they were in Hogwarts. The Golden Duo played pranks on everyone, sometimes, they were joined by Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and even Neville Longbottom. Shocking. Ginny? Same old, same old with her. Our favorite characters, Hermione/Sapphire, Blade, Blaise, and Draco were quiet and very private. The only time other students and professor saw them were in the Great Hall for announcements, food, and in the morning everyday, and of course, in classes. Other than that, the four of them, including Jade, Diamond, Luke, and Daniel, spend their time in the Room of Requirement. Doing what?

All of the Ravenclaws, a couple of Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors, and Slytherins were getting ready to take their N.E. (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests). Because many of them want a job position at the Ministry of Magic, they want to pass the test. However, if they are not successful or didn't take the N.E., they can always find other jobs using their O.W.L results.

— Two Months Until Graduation —

For two weeks, not a peep (not literally) were heard from the Seventh Years. But that's only because they're taking their N.E. for two whole weeks. The first week was the writing exams. Sentences, paragraphs, lists, questions and answers, truth or false, etc. The Writing Exams. Then the second week was the performances on how well do they do the spells, potions, transfiguring items, etc. A couple of examiners were there to see and record you on how well did you do.

A lot of people took N.E.. Among the witches and wizards are Sapphire, Blade, Blaise, Draco, Harry, Ron, and a couple of other students, a few from each four House. Last year and this year, a lot of students (Pure-Bloods, Half-Bloods, and Muggleborns) took up Muggle Studies. Why? Muggle Studies are one of the essential class to get a job position at the Ministry of Magic, especially a position in anything that deals with Muggles and their artefacts. They'll get their results back on September.

— A Month Later —

The Graduation is coming nearer and nearer. The female students are all stressed out. They want the perfect dresses to near at the Graduation. They want dresses that are one-of-a-kind and no one else will wear; that would be embarrassing! Coming to the graduation and someone else has the same dress as you! Oh, the humiliation! Of course, they're going to be high heels/slippers, make-up, etc too. Hopefully, they'll all go well together. If not, white and black are always the nice and easy colors; after all, they go with every colors imaginable. Hair-do. That is a duh! And no one better have the same hair-do as them! Or else! There's going to be a lot of hair-pulling!

The Graduation party came and went. It was a special event for them all, their family were there, yes, Muggles too. Pansy Parkinson came with Marcus Flint, Lily Ghislaine went with Jeffery Dayton, Ariana LaFrenaire went with an unnamed Hufflepuff, he's a Hufflepuff for Merlin's sake! A Huff-fle-Puff! Lana Montague went with Michael Talbot, since her Drakie went with someone else and Michael Talbot is the fourth best looking guy in the Slytherin House. To no one's surprise, Harry Potter came with Luna Lovegood; they are going out, Ron Weasley went with Susan Bones; many were surprised with this and apparently, Susan could put up with his infamous Weasley temper, Lavender Brown went with her boyfriend, Seamus Finnigan, Parvati Patil went with her boyfriend, Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom went with Hannah Abbott; it turned out that the two of them are quite compatible with each other, Luke Carson sucked up his pride and fear and asked Diamond Yukimura out, and Daniel Luke went with Jade Lo.

Nothing really happens, just a lot of dancing and randomness. The most rememberable was that Lana Montague didn't look at what she was drinking. Her Butterbeer was spiked with a prank, courtesy from Fred and George Weasley. It turned the seventeen-year-old Slytherin green, her hair was horribly, bright pink, her nose were long and pointy with large boils at the end, her eyebrow were busy and it was orange, and her dress were changed from a simple, but lovely black dress to a horrible and revealing green dress with polka dots. All in all, she looked like a clown and very noticeable. Earlier, before this all happened to her, she was glaring at Hermione so much that she ignored her date. No, actually, she only danced one dance with Talbot went back to her table and went the rest of the party glaring daggers at Hermione. She never noticed that Talbot left her and danced with a Ravenclaw.

Of course, Hermione went with her three mates and it was awkward. Who will she dance first? Blade said that she should dance with the first male that comes up in the alphabet order, which was him, Blaise, and then Draco. Draco snorted and said that she should dance with the first name that comes up in the alphabet order, by surnames, which was him (DRACO), Blade, and Blaise. Who got to dance with her first? Blaise. Because he was quiet.

The adults were all so proud. Narcissa, Casey, and Jane all kissed their sons/daughter. Molly hugged Ron, Harry, and Hermione, tightly. All females were seen sniffle or crying. The men looked down at their kids proudly. Richard gave a hug to Hermione, a nod and hand-shake to the boys. The same goes with Mark and Lucius, both were stunned when their Daughter-in-Law hugged them instead of shaking their hands. Arthur gave Ron and Harry a manly pat on the back and hug.

— With Ginny —

Ginny was in the Common Room with a nasty scowl painted on her lips. Those fucking bitches looked nice. It wasn't fair. She wanted to be there. She pouted. If only someone would invited her to go with them. She wondered why too. It's not like she was undesirable or anything. She didn't get it, there should be lines of guys lining up in front of her. She's on the market now! She's single and she's hot! So where are all the hotties?! Where are all of her male 'friends'?!

I can't believe everyone is having a good time while I'm sitting here, thought Ginny, angrily. I make a couple of mistakes and everyone turns on me. I worry about myself and my looks, and get sneered at wherever I go. Causing me to land in Azkaban. That Bitchy Bone – She's downstairs! Her niece, Hannah, Susan, or Susie is graduating! I can ask her why the Hell did she put me in Azkaban when Choco Fudgy declares no one can overrule him!

With that thought and her determination, she made her way to the portrait door and opened it. Only, it wouldn't open. It was suck. It was locked. Fuck.

"Hey! Fat Lady! Open up!" shouted Ginny, banging on the door.

The Fat Lady didn't reply or open because she's not in her portrait. She decided to visit her best friend, Vi, since all of the graduated students are downstairs and the younger years are all in the Common Rooms and are not allowed to leave.

"Oh Hell," mumbled Ginny, stopping her banging for a second before she started up again.

The two Gryffindor brothers, Colin and Dennis Creevey, glared at the red-head before telling her that they are not allowed outside of the Common Room and that the door is probably charmed not to open for them unless they are in danger. So she could just shut the fuck up. Ginny, in turn, flipped them off by glaring at them, flipping her hair back with her hand with her head held up high, and stomped up the stairs to the Girls' Dormitory.
