Turmoil at Hogwarts



Chapter 4-Floo Powder



On December 22 at 7:00 in the morning Ginny said goodbye to her brothers Fred, George, and Ron, and Harry and Hermione. As far as they knew they wouldn't be seeing each other until January 22.

"I'll see you in a month. Have fun Ginny," Fred said.

"I'll try. Don't get into too much trouble, Fred." Ginny said, giving her older brother a big smile. Then she shifted her gaze towards his twin and then said slyly, "Don't you get into any trouble either George."



"I would never get in trouble," George said. "But you need to worry about Fred. He's the troublemaker. I'm completely innocent."

"Innocent is probably the word that least describes you, George," Hermione said smiling but then her smile faded. "I'm going to miss you guys, except for you, Fred, I have to put up with you every single day."

"And you're glad that I'm in your group. Admit it Hermione," Fred teased.

"Alright, I guess I would miss you if you weren't in my group. And if you and Alicia Spinett weren't in my group I'd probably go crazy," Hermione said.

"See I told you Herm, you know you love me." Fred said teasingly.

"I wouldn't say that I love you. I would say... that I could tolerate you." Hermione said jokingly to Fred.

"Why do you have to be like that, Hermione?" Fred asked. "That was just plain cruel."

"I hate to break up you two fighting, but I've got to go." Ginny said then gave all of her friends and family big hugs goodbye.

"Well, I'll see you in exactly one month.""Bye Ginny!" They all said.

"See you guys later," Ginny said then picked up her bags and walked out the door. When she arrived at the fireplace in the Transfigurations room that she was supposed to be leaving from, all of the other members of her group were there, along with Professor McGonagall.

"Now that all of you students have arrived I want to talk to you. If we hear of any of you students misbehaving, then that student or students will be punished not only by Mrs. Gallagher, the witch in charge of your group, but you will also be serving detention when you are back at Hogwarts. I want you students to treat each other with respect and I want you to learn to get along with each other. While in Ireland you will be representing Hogwarts, so you are to be on your best behavior. Do you understand?" Professor McGonagall said looking at all of the students in the room.

They all shook their heads up and down, signaling that they understood.

"Good. Now, are you sure that you have everything that was on the list?" Professor McGonagall asked.

A girl named Susan Bones asked, "Am I allowed to bring my cat?"

"Yes you can bring it. Do you have it with you?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"No, can I please go get her, Professor?" Susan Bones asked.

"Yes, but do hurry." Professor McGonagall said impatiently. While Susan was gone Ginny talked to her brothers George and Fred's best friend, Lee Jordan. "Hi Lee," she said.

"Hi Ginny," Lee said. "Are you excited about going to Ireland.

"I don't know, I guess I'm a little bit excited. It'll just be weird being away from my brothers and Harry and Hermione. I'm used to somebody always watching over me and being there for me to talk to," Ginny said.

"It won't be too different. I'll be here," Lee said reassuringly.

"I know but, it's just different not having them around," Ginny said.

"Don't worry about it, kid. I'll take care of you," Lee said putting an arm around her.

"Thanks Lee," Ginny said even though she felt like he was treating her like she was only four years old.

"Fred and George asked me if I'd look out for you and make sure that Malfoy doesn't give you any shit. They are kind of worried about you. I think that it's going to be weird for them to not have you around to protect." Lee said to Ginny.

"I can take care of myself. I am almost 15 years old." Ginny said with just a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Lee didn't notice that she was getting annoyed with him and said, "You're not too old to have someone looking out for you and I don't mind making sure that nobody messes with you." Lee smiled at her until he heard someone laughing at him. He turned around and saw that Draco Malfoy was the person who was laughing.

"What are you laughing at, Malfoy?" Lee asked him.

"Oh nothing," Draco said with a smirk on his face. He had obviously caught the annoyance in Ginny's voice and also the reply that she got from Lee. "I was just laughing at how stupid you are."

Lee balled up his fists and was ready to use them on Draco when Ginny put her hand on his shoulders and pulled him back and said, "Don't worry about him Lee, he's not worth it."

"You right Ginny," Lee said and gave her a one armed hug.

Draco's smirk had faded into a scowl as he heard Ginny's remark and then watched Lee giver her a hug.

Susan Bones then rushed into the room with a white kitten in her hands.

"Okay students, are you ready to leave now?" Professor McGonagall asked.

All of the students said yes, so Professor McGonagall pulled out a pouch that was filled with floo powder then said,"Scatter the floo powder into the fire and then say the Gallagher house. Does everyone understand?"

The students all shook their heads so Professor McGonagall said, "Terry, why don't you go first."

Terry walked over to the fire, took some of the floo powder and threw it into the flames of the fire. When he stepped into the fire he said, "Gallager house" and disappeared.

Lavender Brown went after Terry, then came Seamus Finnagin, Susan Bones and then Lee Jordan. Before he stepped into the fire he said, "See you in a couple of minutes when we're both in Ireland." Then he waved to her and stepped into the fire. When Lee was gone Draco said, "Yes, see you soon, kid" then gave her a smirk and then disappeared.

Before Ginny stepped into the fire she took a deep breath and thought, "Well, in a few minutes I'll be in Ireland not at Hogwarts. I sure hope I have fun in Ireland. Then Ginny threw up her floo powder and stepped into the fire.



A/N-I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, so I hope that you had as much fun reading it. I think that it's starting to become a little more exciting. I don't know when I'll have time to update this story because my week is going to be really busy. I won't be home at all this weekend and that's when I usually have time to write. If I posted another chapter on any of my stories it would be on Sarah Grant, because I have that story written about 5 chapters ahead. All I have to do is type not write up the whole thing. Anyway, I'm not in too good of a mood right now because my favorite football team, the Green Bay Packers, are losing. I was really depressed until I checked on this story and saw that I had new reviews. Thanks everybody for reviewing. I love you all.



Now to all of my wonderful reviewers



Thank you Bunny. I'm going to try to make these upcoming chapters sort of funny. I think that humor is part of what makes a story interesting.



Thank you kekeke. I guess you'll just have to keep reading to find out what happens next! I will finish this story, I have no idea when, but it'll happen eventually.



Thank you Summer Thyme. You reviewed my story again! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!! You just might have come up with something when you talked about Seamus. But I'm not going to give anything away.



Thank you Aurora Riddle. You reviewed my story again too! I guess I'm going to have to thank you a bunch too. So, here goes. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!! This chapter isn't as long as the last one, but I'm trying to write more, just for you!

Thank you MoodyIrishBabe. Do you live in Ireland, cuz I've always wanted to go there. That's why I decided to make Ginny's group live in Ireland. Is Ireland really the most beautiful place on earth? I'm really curious. I guess I'll find if I ever get the chance to go on vacation there.



Thank you Nari. Of course I can write the next chapter. I'm having tons of fun writing on this story. I wouldn't stop now, that would be just plain mean to all of my wonderful reviewers!!



Thank you True Words. Of course it's okay if you reviewed all of the chapters, that made my day when I saw that you felt the need to review them all. I liked it when Ginny punched Draco too. That's something I wish that I had the guts to do!



Thank you LilyAyl. I would have emailed you but my computers not doing the best right now, and I can't get into my email. I don't know why though. Oh, well. Thanks for reviewing my story, and I posted more so I hope you're reading this.
