Star Light, Star
Bright
16-year-old
Ginny Weasley was in a good mood. Today was her birthday and her long time
crush and brother's best friend, 17 year old Harry Potter was coming to spend
the rest of the summer today before he, her brother Ron, her friend Hermione
would return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their 7th
and final year. Even though Harry had shown no more interest in her than she
would expect (she was his best friends little sister) she always tried to keep
her hopes up. She felt she had changed quite a lot physically this summer and
had bought some new clothes that her parents had protested, "it showed to much
skin". She studied herself in the mirror. Her flaming red hair came down a
little past her shoulders. Her skintight shirt proved to the world that she was
no longer a little girl but a true woman. "This is the year," she told herself.
"This is when I finally get Harry to notice me." "That's it dear," muttered the
mirror sleepily. She jumped onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling. The
summer sun pored through her window, bathing her in the light. She was going
over in her mind the things she had done over the years to try to get Harry to
notice her. In her first year she had sent him, a singing valentine by means of
a surly looking dwarf dressed up as a cupid. It seemed like the perfect idea
then but now she burst out laughing when she thought of it. Her third year
still haunted her. She had been so close to going to the Yule ball with Harry
but she had already agreed to going with Neville to the ball. In her fifth
year, she had decided to just try to become friends with him. That had worked
too but she was no closer to getting Harry to like her than to writing her
book. She was going over in her head what to do with her final chance when her
mothers voice coming from the foot of the stairs said, "Ginny, lunch!"
Upon
entering the kitchen, there was a loud "Surprise," and two small bangs. Sitting
around the kitchen table was her entire family, Harry, Hermione, and her two
best friends, Eric Shaw and Kira Takami. Eric is an American. He was tall with
brown hair. He was an exchange student from WSWW (Washington School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) near Washington D.C.
He was possibly the most envied person in all of Hogwarts because of his
Quidditch skills and the fact that part of the exchange agreement was that Eric
would still have the same rights he had in America. That included freedom of speech
and freedom of expression, so he was allowed to say whatever he wanted and the
teachers couldn't touch him. He could also use magic outside of school. He was
also somewhat of a genius. He would use spells he created to bewitch Muggle
things (it's legal in America) so he would be able to take them anywhere. He
even enchanted his pet Spider Monkey so it could talk and help Eric in whatever
he happened to feel like making. Kira was British of Japanese decent. She had
long black hair and was the same height as Ginny. She too was very bright and
just last year she became Animangus (she could turn into a cat with wings). (A/N:
Sorry to go off like that but I had to explain the characters anyway back to
the story.) It had been a while since Ginny was this happy. She had gotten
a neat Muggle contraption called a Laptop (enchanted of course so she could
bring it to Hogwarts) from Eric, a book on ancient and forgotten spells and
instructions on how to become Animangus hidden inside the book from Kira, another
book called Famous Female Quidditch Players from Hermione, and, to Ginny's
delight, a silver necklace from Harry. Her family had banded together and
gotten her a Firebolt since she was going to try out for Chaser this year and
had been asking for one ever since her second year.
After
hugging her parents and brothers many times, everyone went outside to play a
Quidditch game. Ginny's parents, Percy, and Hermione had decided to watch
rather than play so they had uneven teams. The match lasted very long
considering Harry and Charlie were seekers to rival each other but in the end
Ginny's team won (Charlie, Eric, Kira, Ron, and Ginny). By then it was very
late and Mrs. Weasley insisted that everyone go to bed. Ginny gave a farewell
to Eric and Kira who had to go home and changed into her pajamas after taking a
shower. She fell onto her bed with a wide grin on her face. She was very happy
but there was something missing. There was always something missing. It was
Harry. She loved him so much it felt like a pain in her own heart to not be
with him. She leaned out her window. She looked up at the sky and let out a
sigh.
"Star
bright, star light. I wish upon this starry night.
I
wish I may, I wish I might, that I would wish upon a star tonight.
I
wish Harry Potter would want to spend the rest of his life with me.
To
have children with me. To love me as much as I love him.
To
be together forever and beyond."
She
lay back on her bed and drifted off to sleep totally unaware of the elation and
tribulation instore for her, or the lightning that would wake her up in a few
hours time, or the great adventure of the coming year.
