TIME WARPED FACTS ALERT!
Ron gawked at Ginny, surprised that his fourteen year old sister was addressing their seventeen year old brother. Part of the bewildered crowd around them turned and faced Ginny and George. They looked just as surprised as George looked.
Fred and Lee Jordan had turned around, too. Fred stared at George and said, "This isn't about what happened over the summer at that cinema, is it George? Because that seems an awful long time ago…"
"Of course-" George started, but was cut off by Ron. George stormed off.
"Why? What happened when Ginny went to see that American movie 'Charlie's Angels'? Did you guys follow her or something?" Ron asked energetically.
"Nah," Fred replied, "George decided to go later, but I was busy that day, so George dragged Alicia Spinnett into town and they went and saw Charlie's Angels."
"You live by Alicia? And what were you busy doing?" Hermione asked.
"That is besides the point, Hermione. Alicia moved down the road from us over the summer. She was born into a Muggle family who wanted to move into the country, so they did. Go on, Fred." Ron looked at Fred expectantly.
"Okay. Well, anyways, George and Alicia got to the cinema, and they had to sit in the back row because Alicia doesn't like sitting in the middle or the front. Halfway into the show, they started eating each other's faces and didn't stop till the movie ended. Ginny was walking out with her friends and she caught them.
"Alicia and George got really embarrassed, so they went out of the cinema the other way. George dropped Alicia off at her house, then came home. Once he got home, he went straight into Ginny's room and made her promise not to tell anyone. Obviously, she did, but you know how Ginny is, and she had to come tell me the next day. I made fun of George later that day, and he got so ticked off that he left the house and didn't come back till really late. Then he got in trouble, and he and Ginny gave each other the cold shoulder the rest of the summer. George also met Alicia a few times other than that over the summer, and Ginny caught them kissing behind the gazebo a few times more than once." Fred finally finished his story, but by now only Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Lee Jordan were listening.
"Wow," Ron breathed. "George is in love with Alicia Spinnett?"
"I think he is," Lee added, "because I caught them in an empty classroom the other day. They seemed a little surprised when I said 'hi'."
"It's kind of funny, actually," Harry finally said. "They've seen each other every day in class, during meals, in the common room, and at Quidditch matches for like the last seven years. You'd think they'd have fallen for each other a bit earlier."
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed. "That's rather rude."
"Guess so," Harry replied, shrugging.
"Listen, I'm going to go find Ginny before the new students arrive."
"No need," Ginny said from behind Harry. They all turned around to see her.
"Ginny!" Hermione gasped. "How long were you standing there?"
"Long enough to hear enough." She looked at Fred. "Is it all true?"
"To the extent of my knowledge. Why?" Fred replied.
"I just wanted to know. I think I'm going to lose the cold shoulder. It's ruining my whole life. Oh Harry; I'm so sorry about the whole crying thing…" Ginny trailed off and looked at her feet.
"Nah, it was nothing. My robe's fine. It's all good," Harry muttered.
"Whatever," Lee and Ron said, grinning.
"Hey, look!" Hermione suddenly said and pointed to the entrance. Everyone looked in that direction.
"What is it? [How did they get here?]" Ron asked, but no one heard him.
Coming through the door was a tall girl with extremely long light brown hair that had been dyed blonde and curled at the ends. Harry figured that this was the new fifth year student, and he also thought she was rather pretty.
Next to the girl was a boy with blond hair that was as tall as the girl's shoulder. He looked wary but assertive as he looked at the crowds on either side of him. Harry looked sideways at Ginny, who seemed to be studying the blond haired boy. Ron caught Harry's eye, quickly glanced at Ginny, and chuckled silently. Harry grinned back. He decided that this was the little brother.
Behind the girl and her brother was a tall American boy with light brown hair that had been dyed blond on top and peaked up at the forehead. He whispered into the girl's ear, and they both giggled. The little brother tugged the girl's hair and said something to her. She shook her head and looked around. Her eyes traveled to the bright flash of red hair around Harry that consisted of the four Weasley siblings. She closed her eyes and blinked a few times.
All of a sudden, she looked at Harry. Her eyes grew wide and her eyebrows went up. Out of the blue, a smile appeared on her face. Harry smiled back. He knew that this new girl would become a friend of his rather quickly. Maybe a bit more, he hoped. But that was exactly what it was. A hope. A rather vast hope.
