When They First Got Their Letters
By: Obession
Chapter 6: Ginny
(A/N: Hello! I'm sorry this took that long, because I had the biggest case of writer's block. I told you I was out of ideas. Anyways…
kool: Thanks for the complement and answering my question!
Chocolat Elf: Thanks for the review, and yes, I think you're hyper.
abigfan: Thanks for your review! What does idk mean? Just wondering! I'll try to work with the ideas, thanks!
…and sadly, that's all the reviews that I got. Hopefully more for this chapter. Anyways, my "daily" question, it's just a repeat though. What, or who, is a beta reader? Answer please! In a review! I need reviews! AHHHHHH!!! *seizure* Sorry, I'll calm down, but don't forget to review!
I almost forgot the disclaimer! I don't want to get sued! I'm getting tired of disclaimers, They get the idea when I say it one time, don't they? Well, in case they're blind, no offense, I don't own these wonderful characters, if I do, I wouldn't even be here right now, and I would have a British accent, which I don't, but would like to have. See that run-on? That's not Harry Potter books material, so no; I'm not the amazing J. K. Rowling. Sorry to disappoint you!)
Ginny Weasley just woke up from her reoccurring dream, er-, fantasy. "It'll never come true," she thought out loud. She tried to fall back to sleep, for the sun has barely risen yet, but failing to do so. Instead she went downstairs, where her parents are sitting at the kitchen table.
"Good morning, Mum. Good morning, Dad," Ginny said.
"Good morning, Ginny, dear. Here. It's your letter from school," Mrs. Weasley said, grinning widely as her youngest child and only daughter opens her first letter from Hogwarts,

"Mum," Ginny said, "How are we going to manage?"
"Oh, Ginny, we'll have to get a lot of your things second handed," Mrs. Weasley said sadly. It doesn't bother Ginny, for she expected it.
"Here Ginny," Mr. Weasley said, breaking the silence, "breakfast."
"Thanks Dad," Ginny said, as she started eating her porridge.
A while later, as the sun shined brilliantly outside, Ginny hears footsteps from the stairs. Then Harry and Ron's face came into view, and Ginny accidentally knocked her porridge bowl to the floor. Smooth Ginny, she thought, as she dived under the table to get the bowl, how embarrassing. She feels herself blushing as she emerged from the table and taking her seat again.
After the others discovered the book problem, Harry asked Ginny, "Oh, are you starting at Hogwarts this year?"
All she could do was nod and blush. She then changes position and accidentally put her elbow in the butter dish. Oops, she thought, as she took it out and began cleaning it with a napkin, hopefully no one saw that, especially not Harry. She felt embarrassed enough for one day.
(A/N: Hope you liked it! I know, I added a lot of Ginny's crush stuff in it, but if I don't, then it would be a really short chapter. Hope you liked that part too. Flame if you must, I don't care. I shall use it in my training of ignoring. Anyways, the book list was a combo of Harry's first book list with the Gilderoy Lockhart books mentioned in book 2. Just letting you know! Okay, people who is bothering to read this, I seriously ran out of ideas after this one. HELP!!!!! Thank you for reading!)
