It was a week later and Gretchen still had not been school shopping. She knew that when they had stuff planned something always had to come up. In this case her father had to go the America for something 'important'. Her mother offered to take her, but she wanted to go with her father. She hadn't really seen him much over the summer, ever since Voldemort was said to be back. Gretchen repeatedly asked her mother why he always had to go; she would just smile and say, "You don't need to worry about it dear. Its just ministry business." Yet it didn't just feel like 'just business' it was something more, and Gretchen knew it.
Finally the day came when she went shopping. Her father arrived home three days later and took her. They used a two-touch portkey to get there, you touch it once and it brings you to your destination, touch it again and it brings you right back. They appeared right outside the brick wall leading into Diagon ally. It was as crowded as ever, people were running around bumping into other people, and just acting very rude. Gretchen saw some kids running down the street when they ran into a tall plump old witch. She started to yell and scream at them, and ever threatened to curse them. Gretchen looked up at her father who was trying to push their way through the crowd and asked id a loud voice, "Why is everyone being so rude and pushy?"
"Oh I don't know, its it getting rather annoying thought." He answered squeezing through a group of people.
Once they got their money and left Gringotts wizard bank, they started off toward Flourish and Blotts since it looked less crowded. When they walked in Gretchen went directly over to the window where she found all of her books except The standard book of spells, by Miranda Goshawk. After about an hour of searching they found the last copy under a book called,
'Brooms get them to shine!' By Luke Linko.
When they left Flourish and Blotts they ran into Author Weasley, Gretchen's fathers friend from work.
"Tom, how're you?" He called, dragging a small girl with him.
"I'm fine, how about yourself?" he answered.
"Well I could be better. I'm swamped with work at the ministry and Molly's says I'm over working myself, but I can't help it."
"I understand how you feel Author, Carolyn is being the same way with me, she says I'm gone too much, but with my line of work I can't help it."
Gretchen turned and looked at the girl, she had bright red hair and wasn't that tall. About medium height. When she saw Gretchen looking at her, a small smile formed on her face she said, "Hi, I'm Ginny."
Gretchen smiled back and said, "Hi I'm Gretchen."
"Hey do you wanna go find my brother and his friends and finish our shopping?" said Ginny.
"Sure, it's better then standing here and listing to them all day."
Both girls laughed then asked their dads if they could, which they agreed to. So Ginny and Gretchen started on their way down Diagon ally to find Ron, Harry, and Hermione. They found them coming out of the brand new Quidditch store called, 'Black cat Quidditch Supplies.'
'Hey guys!" Ginny called waving at them.
"Hello Ginny." Said Hermione looking slightly annoyed. "You would think that these two boys would want to go and get the rest of their books before buying out that whole shop."
"Oh come on Hermione! It just opened, they had great sales." Said Ron giving her a slight nudge in the ribs playfully.
"Who's that Ginny?" asked Harry pointing to Gretchen with a curious look of his face.
"Oh hi Harry, I'm Gretchen."
"Uh…how did you know my name?" asked Harry scratching his head an looking at her with a rather curious yet not to surprised look on his face.
"I know all of your names. Your hair gives you away Ron-" she said pointing at him. "-I herd you call her Hermione, and I already knew this was Harry."
"Our dad work with hers Ron." Said Ginny sliding her hand into her pocket. Ron looked over at Gretchen and said, "So you're going to Hogwarts this year right? What year will you be in?"
"I'm gonna be in 5th year… I just transferred here from Drumstrang, and I'm kinda glad I did. I didn't like it much over there."
"Isn't that the school where they teach Dark Arts at?" Asked Harry.
"Yeah, that why I didn't like it. Plus I don't think that anyone there liked me too much either. I'm not in to the Dark Art stuff, it gives me the creeps."
"Yes, well I don't blame you Gretchen, I don't care for it to much myself." Said Hermione with a stern look on her face. "You don't care to much for a lot of things Hermione, except for school." Said Ron grinning.
"Well at least I get good grades Ron!" Said Hermione yelling back with her hands on her hips.
The rest of the day went well Ron an Hermione they argued only once more about something stupid when they finally caught up with their parents. Gretchen introduced Harry, Ron and Hermione to her dad. Then Ron asked her if she wanted to stay the rest of the summer and ride the train with them, but Gretchen declined. She wasn't looking forward to riding a train when she knew she had a one-way trip straight to the school. Since Gretchen was the great granddaughter to Albus Dumbledore she had her advantages. One thing she had a one way ride into the school, the port hold in her parents house. It was they're mainly for her father to use for 'business' but they agreed she could use it to get to school, and only to the school. Then finally day came for her to start her new school. She entered her patents study with them. Then gave them both a hug and a kiss good bye and jumped through the portal with her cat on perched her shoulder and dragging her trunk behind her.
