~*~cough~* Ummmmm... Hi? Please don't hurt me for being gone so long, I have really good explanation, I promise!!! I just don't wanna type it in right now, it's rather long and I'm on a time limit, here! So, I'll just put a little note here, instead. To the reviewer who thought that I'm going a bit overboard with Ginny: Thanks, now that I think of it, you're right. I'll try a bit harder to make her more real. For now, let's just put it to the idea that her description was basically how Harry sees her. Lol.

The next morning, Sakura was awoken rather unpleasantly by Tomoyo shaking her roughly. "Wha? Ugghhh... No wakey. Sleep."

"Sakura! Do you want to be late for your first day of school?"

"Wha? Ack!!!!! I'll be late!!!" With surprising speed and agility, Sakura rolled out of her bed and onto the floor. The cacophony created be Sakura's morning dash woke up the previously rock-like Ginny, who, herself, added to the noise and running when she realized that she had overslept, which was not too uncommon. Tomoyo and Sakura having been ready quicker set to getting in for breakfast. In the Great Hall, they were able to shove some toast into their mouths before the hurricane Ginny ran in and successively almost overturned the table. Sitting on the floor, Ginny glared balefully at the table, as if she could set fire to it just by willing it to be. She pushed herself off of the cold stone, and plopped unceremoniously into the seat next to Tomoyo. Stealing an orange from a first year on her other side, she mumbled through a full mouth something directed at her newfound roommates.

"I'm sorry, what?" Sakura asked in confusion.

This time, Ginny took the time to hold up a finger until she finished chewing for the moment, and asked, this time with nothing to block her words "What's your schedule?" Tomoyo dug hers out of her bag, while Sakura, having lost hers, looked over Tomoyo's shoulder.

"Mine's the same." She commented. Ginny checked it over, and then gave the girls their vital advice.

"Okay, for most of the day, you can just stick by me, and you'll be fine. You're on your own with Trelawney, I wouldn't touch that old bat with a ten foot pole; my brother educated me well in her stupidity. I'll be with you in Potions, but let me tell you now, you'll do best to remember to keep your mouth shut unless you're asked something; Snape's a bloody bastard. McGonagall, well, she's strict, but you'll be fine. Try not to squeal over how tiny Flitwick is. And in Care of Magical Creatures, we're getting new creatures today. Stand back, as far away as you possibly can. That's always a good idea when dealing with Hagrid's 'pets.'" She tightened one of her low, messy pigtails. "You'll be fine. Hold on a bit, gotta talk to my brother." She walked over to the other end of the table, where Syaoran was sitting boredly by Hermione and Ron, who were idly chatting with Harry. "Hi guys!" They jumped slightly in surprise. "Uh, yeah. Are you gonna show Syaoran here to his classes?"

"Oh! I hadn't thought to.. of course!" Hermione replied, flushing in embarrassment that she, the head girl, had forgotten about the new kid. Syaoran just rolled his eyes and grumbled. Ginny giggled at Harry's dumbstruck look. Really, that boy was just plain hopeless. Ron whacked him over the back of his head, and Hermione glared at Ron. Ginny just grinned and made sure to swing her hips as she walked away. The loud thump that followed, accompanied by her brother's angry yell assured her that she had achieved the desired effect. Rejoining Sakura and Tomoyo, she found them to be laughing hysterically. "What's so funny?"

"Oh, that was good. Girl, you have got to give that boy a break. Soon enough, he'll start passing out every time he sees you. You don't want him comatose, do you?" Sakura chortled.

"I dunno. It might have its decided advantages." At this, they all burst into peals of laughter as they made their way to their first class.
