Chapter 1
Gold and Silver
" Hermione's owl is here! " exclaimed Ginny at the Burrow's breakfast table.
As the owl approached the table, the Weasleys that were present – Molly, Arthur, Ron, and Ginny – wondered what the bird was carrying. It looked like a regular letter but the envelope it came in glittered in gold and the writing on it was a shiny silver. This was obviously not a regular letter because for one, Hermione has never sent anything that looked so regal; her letters were always sent in plain white envelopes without the shine and glitter. Secondly, Hermione has not been owling the Weasleys for the past few months due to her being so busy at work.
The owl dropped its delivery in front of Ginny's plate and helped itself to a piece of toast. In fancy silver letters, written on the shimmering gold envelope was this…

" Hmm…that's strange. It's addressed to the whole family. I wonder what it is," said Mrs. Weasley as she took the envelope from Ginny. She opened it and read aloud the content of the elegant card inside.

" Oh dear, " Molly muttered.
" Malfoy?! Since when has she been with Malfoy?! " yelled Ron.
" Well, officially, since last year. But they've been hanging out and having dinner since the year before. So, to answer your question, Ron, it's been two years. " Ginny butted in.
" Bloody hell! You've known about them and you never told me?! "
" What are you yelling at me for? It's not my fault I still keep in touch with my best friend."
" But why Malfoy? Out of all people, she picks Malfoy? After how he's treated her over the years? " Ron questioned.
" Things change, Ron. You know that all too well. You have to be able to adapt to change or else you'll be left behind. When will you catch up? "
" I have no bloody idea what you are talking about. "
" Still oblivious as ever huh? Or do you intentionally dismiss what's right in front of you? " Ron couldn't believe the way his younger sister was talking to him, even though there was some truth in what she was saying.
Ginny gathered her robe, gloves, and scarf as she proceeded to the fireplace.
"Well, I'm running late. I'm supposed to meet up with Harry at Diagon Alley. Good day, Mum, Dad. DIAGON ALLEY!!! " With a bit of Floo powder, Ginny was gone just like that.
" Good day indeed, " muttered Ron under his breath as he went up the stairs to his room.
" Wait!, " exclaimed Arthur, " Should we RSVP??? "
