"Hey Gin, how do you feel?" Hermione stood next to Ginny peering down the hallway watching Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall walk down the hall next to the ghost of Cedric Diggory. It was amazing. Ginny had gotten a friend back, whether he was a ghost or not. At least he was back for a while.
"Wonderful! Cedric is back. Well, he is a ghost… but he's back." Ginny turned to look a Cho Chang who was very misty eyed. She walked over to her and gave her a hug. Sure Cho was two years ahead of her but she still appreciated the hug. "It'll be okay Cho!"
Cho smiled and headed off in the direction of where her table was. Ginny looked down realizing she was wearing her school robes and they were at a dance. Ginny turned around as stood face to face with her friend Nick.
"Um, Ginny, I was wondering…" Nick trailed off the sentence trying to see if Ginny could read his eyes. She always seemed to be able to read anyone's eyes if she stared at the in a certain way. Obviously she had because she let a big smile spread across her face.
"Sure Nick. I would be please… just let me change into my dress robes." Ginny ran for the marble stairs with Hermione close on her heals. "Hermione, isn't Viktor waiting for you?" Ginny stopped and turned around looking at Hermione.
"Well, Gin. I have to help you get ready! What else are friends for." Hermione and Ginny giggled and continued up the stairs to the portrait of the fat lady.
"Well, good evening ladies. Password?" The fat lady smiled at the two girls.
"Thank you, and might I add you are looking lovely this evening." Hermione smiled and turned to Ginny winking a little. She turned around to look back at the fat lady who was blushing. "Draconis." The fat lady swung to the side allowing Hermione and Ginny to pass through the portrait hole and into the common room.
Ginny led the way into the dorm room that she shared with Hermione. It had been hard. Professor McGonagall had said that first years and second years were not allowed to share a dorm but they had convinced her and had been dorm mates since then.
Ginny opened her trunk and began searching for her dress robes. Her family still hadn't come into a lot of money but Fred and George had opened their joke shop and would sent their little sister gold to go shopping in Hogsmeade. So the last time they had made the visit last year she had bought herself a new set of dress robes. She finally found them. Pulling them out they shimmered the color purple.
"Wow Ginny, when did you get those." Ginny looked up at the smiling Hermione Granger and giggled a bit more. "They are beautiful!"
"Last year when Fred sent me that owl… he put in 40 Galleons! When went to Hogsmeade that weekend I bought it. I thought it was really pretty." Ginny smiled and moved into the dressing area of their dorm emerging in her sparkling purple dress robes. The occupants of the dorm had attached a full length mirror the door of the dressing area. Ginny looked at herself in it as a memory flashed into her mind.

"Mail is here!" Ginny looked up at the owls as they circled the great hall looking for the recipient of the message they carried. Harry had noticed it and was searching the owls for Hedwig. He was really expecting anything. You could see it in his eyes.
Ginny looked down from the owls flying overhead. She shouldn't be getting anything. Mum and dad always sent the mail to Ron now. Ron would give her hers. Sure enough the owl dropped two letters and a box on Ron's lap. "'Ere you are Ginny. It's yours." Ginny took the letter and read it silently. Every once in a while letting a smile show on her face. "Wow, they sent us chocolate!" Ron was surprised by the amount of chocolate in the box, mum normally never sent anything like it.
No longer than two seconds later a black and gray owl swooped down and landed in front of Ginny holding a small bag and a letter. Ginny read the nameplate that had been attached to it, "Archimedes, Fred and George Weasley's Joke Shop." Ginny glanced at her brother who just shrugged not knowing what it was about.
"Come on Gin, open the letter." Hermione nudged Ginny is the side and watched as she reached for the note attached to the Owl. It sat there waiting for the bag to be taken off also.
Ginny unfolded the parchment and reading it out loud:
Hey Ginny! How's our favorite little sister, wait, your our only little sister… Oy, George stop it, I'm being serious here. All right, just give me a chance.
Ginny paused here giving a little giggle at her brothers writing… she assumed they had forgotten how to rewrite now that they were out of school. She looked as Harry and Ron tried to hide a chuckle as Hermione freely let out a giggle herself. Ginny continued on.
We just thought that you might like to buy yourself something nice. Well, it was my idea. GEORGE I SAID STOP! Okay, so we attached some gold to Archimedes here for you. No, I attached some gold for you. GEORGE! Okay, I'll stop. Good. We hope you enjoy the end of the year exams!
Love,
Fred and George (He means George and Fred)
GEORGE! Okay, sorry! Love you Gin!
With that the letter ended and Ginny started to laugh uncontrollably along with Hermione. Drawing attention to them. Hermione put a shoulder on Ginny's arm trying stop herself from laughing to hard. "So Ginny… what are you going to do with the gold?"
Ginny smiled and took the bag of gold off Archimedes and watched as he look off flying out of one of the windows in the great hall. "I don't know… maybe I'll buy myself some new dress robes."
Ron crinkled his nose at his sister and frowned. "There is no way you are going to be able to get dress robes with the little they sent you. You going to need about 15 Galleons for anything remotely good!"
"Ron, don't talk to your sister like that." Hermione frowned at looked at Ginny again. "How much did they send you Ginny?'
Ginny looked up shocked and answered. "They sent me 50 Galleons!" Ginny started laughing again until she caught a glimpse of Ron's face. "Oh Ron, Stop it! What's wrong anyway?"
Ron just put his hands on the table and got up walking out of the Great Hall. Hermione chasing after him yelling what sound like, "Ron you big git! Be nicer to your sister…" Her voice got quieter as the drifted up the stairs.
Ginny and Harry just sat and laughed as Hermione's voice drifted away up the stairs.
~*~
Ginny listened to Hermione's voice pierce her ears. "What is so funny Ginny?" Ginny walked out from the dressing room and looked over at Hermione.
"I was just remembering the day Fred and George sent me the gold for this and how Ron reacted." Ginny smiled as Hermione walked over and helped her with her hair. Finally Ginny was ready for the dance. They walked out of the dorm, through the common room, and out through the portrait whole heading to the great hall.
