Ginny suddenly found herself in the middle of a big hug. 'Wow, my friends sure do like to hug'. Ginny could help herself from allowing a grin to spread across her face as she looked into her friend's eyes. She began to realize that she did this a lot. It probably made them feel self- conscious. Ginny felt her mind shift again and was facing another memory.

~*~

"Ginny… Ginny are you in here?" Ginny looked up at the person who had entered the library. "Oh there you are. I wandered where you went. You looked a little upset earlier this morning I wanted to make sure you were okay!"

"Yea, I'm okay. Just needed to get some studying done. You know me… always in the library." Ginny smiled and looked up a Cedric who let a smile spread across his face also.

Cedric sat down across the table from where she was sitting and pulled out a small package that was wrapped in blue wrapping paper that was enchanted to light up where someone touched it. "Here, I got this for you. Happy birthday!"

"How did you know it was my birthday?" Ginny in surprise from having received a present from Cedric forgot that he was a friend of her brothers. "Thank you so much Cedric."

Ginny took the present from Cedric and began to pull the paper off. She unwrapped it so she didn't rip any of the paper. Cedric started laughing at her and she laughed along with him. "What is so funny Cedric?"

"You know, I could have given you some of that paper!" Cedric continued laughing as Ginny just smiled.

"That would make it to easy." Ginny laughed also as she opened the box the wrapping paper had contained. Inside was a small notebook with a unicorn on it, 3 bottles of ink, and 2 new quills. "Oh Cedric, thank you so much!"

"Just wait, that isn't all." Cedric pulled out another small wrapped box. This time the paper was purple. He handed it to her and watched as Ginny once again tried not to rip the paper.

"What else could you have possibly gotten me?" Ginny stared into Cedric's eyes for a couple of minutes trying to see what he possibly thought he could get her that was better then the writing equipment.

"Goodness Ginny, Stop it. It creeps me out when you stare into my eyes like that!" Cedric looked down at the table escaping Ginny's gaze.

"Sorry Cedric, it's a habit!" Ginny opened the box, which contained a green candle and a Quidditch patch. "Oh Cedric, thank you so much! I love it."

Ginny gave Cedric a hug and they continued to sit and talk for a while before Professor McGonagall came into the library shooing Ginny back to Gryffindor tower.

Ginny felt a hand on her shoulder. Moving her head to look at its owner she saw Nick. "Are you ready now Ginny?"

Ginny nodded her head and walked out to the middle of the Quidditch field holding Nicks hand. When they reached the center Nick set his candle on the ground and lit it motioning for the others to do the same. They did creating a line of candles and stepped back. Suddenly out of the mist a figured appeared. Everyone stepped back gasping except for Ginny!

"CEDRIC!" Ginny ran forward hugging the figure, which was rather solid for being dead. "It's your dream don't you remember?"

"Of course I remember Ginny. How could I forget? I've missed you very much!" Cedric returned the hug. "How long has it been anyway?"

"Well, when you died I was a third year, now I am a fifth year, so…" Ginny was cut off by Cedric's voice.

"You're a fifth year? Really Gin? Oh hello everyone." Cedric waved to the others and Ginny turned to look at them. They were staring wide eyed at Cedric's ghostly figure.

"Yes, little Ginny Weasley is a fifth year at Hogwarts." Ginny smiled at Cedric. "Look at you Ced… you don't look a day over 17. I've missed you so much." Ginny let herself go. The tear poured out of her as Cedric hugged her again.

"It's alright Ginny, I'm fine. You can talk to me whenever you want now." Ginny looked up sniffling at her friend.

"What do you mean?" Ginny wiped her eyes as Cedric smiled.

"Well you see, they had to give me a year to get used to be a ghost, now I get to do as I please and Dumbledore is allowing me to "haunt" Hogwarts." Cedric grinned.

"That's wonderful Cedric, but what do you mean they?" Ginny looked curiously at Cedric as he continued to smile.

"The powers that be Ginny! NICK!" Cedric caught sight of his brother and smiled. "Wow, Nick, you're what? A third year now?"

"Yeah Ced. I'm a third year." Nick smiled as he walked forward giving his brother a hug. Cedric leaned down and whispered into his ear.

"Don't let Ginny get away from you Nick. She's a wonderful person, I wish I would have realized that!" Cedric smiled over at Ginny and looked at Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "So guys how are you?"

They continued to talk like this until Hagrid requested that they all head back to the castle. When they walked into the hall a gasp of shock ran its way through the students as they saw Cedric's ghost walk in.

Ginny though, smiled around at pushed her history with Cedric behind her. She didn't have to remember the rest of her second year or any of her third year to know that her friend was finally back. Though now, her mind was cluttered with other memories.
