Meanwhile, Ginny Weasly and Cho Chang sat out on the miniscule, dusty porch outside by the green door, painting their toenails with sparkly pink nail polish. The smoke in Brooklyn was thick in the air, and although it may have perturbed others, Ginny and Cho inhaled it like it was the most amazing thing. "Who would had ever thought," Ginny musing, glopping a river of pink onto her big toe, "that Muggle air is so different! It's even slightly gray!" Had they been spotted from the streets, surely someone would have snickered about tourists.
They were seen, in fact, and it was not until quite a few minutes later that Ginny warily lifted her eyes and met the stranger's eyes. He wasn't tall nor short, with crumpled blonde hair and brown eyes that held her gaze fiercely. "Hello!" he called from the littered sidewalk. "Are you a friend of Wally's?"
"Yes," Cho spoke up, but Ginny couldn't help but think that the question was meant for her, "we're staying with him for a little. Who might you be?" Cho batted her long, dark eyelashes and Ginny immediately resented that. She hated how Cho had to always be the flirt, the beautiful one that all the guys adored. When Ginny had liked Harry, Cho had been the object of his affections. When Ginny had desired Cedric Diggory for her date, Cho had swept him off his feet.* Ginny was getting sick of being shafted. It had to stop.
"Hello!" she exclaimed, jumping up and leaning against the rail. "I'm Virginia. Who might you be?"
The guy chuckled. "I'm Jason!" he shouted, cupping his hand to his mouth. "It's nice to meet you, fair Juliet!" Ginny blushed, realizing he was making an inference to the scene in Romeo and Juliet when Romeo spoke to Juliet on the balcony. The dusty, dilapidated porch was so royal balcony, but it would do just fine. "Is Wally home?"
"No!" Ginny replied. Cho had returned to painting her nails and blowing on them to dry them. "He went to work just a minute ago!"
"Rats!" the guy scowled, but good-naturedly, for he smiled. "I was hoping I'd catch him!"
"I'm sorry!" she shouted. He nodded, and started to walk away. She caught her breath, knowing that decisions are made in one second. "Wait!" Jason turned and stopped, looking toward the redhead expectantly. "Let me walk you home!"
"Are you sure? I'd love the company, but I live six blocks over."
"No, not at all!" She caught up with him after almost falling down the staircase. Blushing at her clumsiness, she regained her composure and fell in stride beside Jason.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Inside, Harry and Ron (he, Hermione, and Draco had just returned. Hermione was napping and Draco had taken a walk) tried to zap themselves more Muggle clothes. "It's not working!" Ron sighed and threw his already beaten wand to the ground in frustration. "Why can't I get a t-shirt?"
Harry shrugged. "I guess wands aren't meant to make Muggle things," he inferred, setting his own wand down delicately. "You know what we have to do now."
"And what's that?" Ron plopped onto the bed in exasperation.
"Buy Muggle clothes; Wally did lend us the money for clothes, as well as gas and hotels, right?"
"I guess," Ron relented, "but I don't know the first thing about their size charts. That's your department, Harry."
Harry looked at him dryly. "Ron—Small, Medium, Large—it's not difficult."
Ron blushed. "Ok, let's just go!" He didn't need any further embarrassment. They gathered the money and opened the green door to the porch.
"Ouch!" a high-pitched voice exclaimed. Cho was wincing, holding up the foot she had yet to paint.
"Oh, sorry Cho!" Ron apologized, being the one to open the door. She muttered something that he was sure he didn't want to hear and the guys quickly left the scene of the crime.
It took about a half hour until they reached a mall. The frigid air conditioning relieved their humid faces, and they were extremely grateful for it. A few yards forward revealed a large teenage clothing store named "Gemini." They approached with caution.
Loud, fast music blared on the loudspeakers unlike anything they had heard before. Harry had never heard music other than oldies and country (the Dursleys had horrible taste!) in his Muggle home. Flashy but awfully cute girls' clothing was set up on the racks in the left side of the store, and the boys' attire was on the right. The boys quickly headed right and began searching the racks for suitable Muggle clothes.
"Everything says Gemini on it!" Ron expressed, noticing that is was a brand name. He found a few random shirts and told Harry he'd meet him in the dressing room.
Harry searched a little deeper, settling on a long-sleeve navy shirt that said "Gemini's Leading Man" and an orange short sleeve saying "Gemini 4Ever." He wasn't choosy and didn't really care how they looked so he quickly paid and waited outside by a fountain for his friend.
" 'Arry?" Harry turned, half-expecting to see Fleur, but instead a very small boy stood behind him timidly.
"Er, yes?" Harry replied, completely confused. "Can I help you?"
"Don't you remember me!" the boy spat bitterly, taking Harry aback with surprise.
"Should I?" Harry shook his head. The boy had dark, sloppy hair and bright green eyes, along with glasses much too big for his head.
"Should you not?" the boy hissed, pushing up his curly bangs to display a…
Scar??? A lightning-shaped scar! Harry jumped. "You're… you're…"
The boy disappeared, not like an apparating effect. He just… was gone, like had never been there.
"…me."

*I know he died, let's pretend Ginny wanted him to ask her to the Yule Ball even tho she liked Harry then but he asked Cho. K? Good.
