"Hello Ginny, thanks for coming." Nick looked at Ginny and gave a weak smile. It was of course understandable. After all, it was his brother's birthday. "What is that?"
Ginny looked down at her hand, which contained the green candle and the Quidditch patch. "They were gifts from Cedric. I thought you might like this." Ginny handed Nick the patch and let a tear roll from her eye. "He would have wanted you to have it."
"Oh Ginny, thank you so much for thinking about me, but I think you should keep it. If Cedric had wanted me to have it, he would have sent it home to me. He wanted you to have it." Nick reached out embracing Ginny in hug and let go.
Ginny looked him over. He was also wearing his school robes. His candle though was different from hers but looked as if had been burned the same amount of time as hers. His candle was a pale shade of blue but had a small engraving in it. Ginny glanced at the engraving reading:
'Hello little brother, couldn't think what else you would like so here you go!
Love, your big brother, Cedric'
"That's a really nice candle Nick. When did your brother get it for you?" Ginny really hadn't needed to ask this question. She knew when Cedric had gotten it for him. She had been there. Once again her mind drifted into a sweet memory.

"Ginny, what do you think I should get Nick for his birthday?" Ginny looked up a Cedric and pondered for a moment as Cedric flipped through 'Gifts for Wizard Occasions'.
"I don't know, you're hogging the catalog. You know I am supposed to be looking for something to get my mum for her birthday!" Ginny laughed looking up at Cedric. They had become really good friends since he had made that promise to her.
"Well, your mum's birthday isn't for another month. Nick's is next week. Plus, why would your mum want something out of this." Cedric touched the top of the book Ginny was looking through trying to research something for her History of Magic class. "You are a big book worm. I swear that you and Hermione Granger are related!"
"I wish I was related to Hermione! Then I could have a sister to go to instead of my brothers! Don't read me wrong, I love my brothers. I just wish I could have a sister." Ginny looked at Cedric. He seemed to be drifting off into some sort of a daze. "Cedric…"
Ginny reached over the top of the table waving her hand in front of him. She followed his gaze but he was either looking at some sort of invisible creature or… her! "Cedric, knock it off. You're making me nervous!"
"Oh sorry Ginny." Cedric blushed when he realized he had been staring at Ginny and she had read him perfectly. "What should I get Nick. He is so hard to pick things out for! What do you think of this candle. I could have a really cool message written on it for him!"
"I think he would like that. That is really nice Cedric." Popping the book back up in front of her she started to blush thinking 'Wow, maybe Cedric really does like me."
~*~
"Ginny, are you okay?" Ginny was pulled from the memory from the familiar voice of Nick. "Are you sure you really want to come with me. Oh yeah, Cedric got this for me for my birthday."
"Yea Nick, of course I want to go!" With that Ginny began walking down the staircase to the entrance hall. She stopped and turned around looking at Nick, "You cleared this with Professor Dumbledore correct?"
Nick nodded at looked at her deeply, "Professor Dumbledore gave me the okay the week after Cedric died. After he caught me out on the Quidditch field all the time."
"Oh, alright." Ginny taking one look into the great hall saw Professor Dumbledore give her a nod as he asked everyone to raise their glasses. With that she and Nick stepped out the front doors onto the front grounds.
It was a rather nice night. A warm breeze was circling its way around the school. It was still in the beginning of autumn so it was still warm outside. As the doors closed Ginny heard the blended sound of her classmates voices 'To Cedric'.
"Okay, I'm ready." Ginny gripped the candle she was holding and followed Nick towards the Quidditch Pitch. She noticed a couple of shadows that seemed to be heading in that direction also but she really didn't think much of it.
"HEY! GINNY, NICK. WAIT FOR ME." Ginny turned around to see Hermione running towards them carrying a candle. Close of her heals were Victor, Harry, Ron, Fred, and George. Hermione stopped behind Ginny and gasped in some breaths before talking again. "I realized, when I left, it wasn't fair for me to talk to you like that. I should have been more understanding. So I'm going with you."
Hermione reached forward and gave Ginny a hug. A tear rolled down both Ginny and Hermione's cheeks. Victor was the second to reach them. "I come with Her-my-ninny." Everyone laughed and it helped to lighten everyone's moods.
"Oy, Ginny! Why didn't you ever come and talk to us about this?" Fred and George said this in unison. As the pulled Hermione away from her and gave then a big, very tight hug at the same time. Harry and Ron did the same thing. With that they headed out to the pitch, Ginny handing an extra candle that she had conjured to each the six new followers.
