With a faint pop, the Ginny appeared with a faint pop where the girls agreed to meet, behind a sleepy, cozy building that was tucked into a corner of the city. Because it was a Muggle town, she couldn't Apparate in or around the particular bar Tessa had her heart set on singing in.
"C'mon, lets go before all the spots are taken!" Tessa, already waiting because she didn't have her license, said excitedly, grabbing Ginny's wrist and started sprinting to the heart of the city, where Knotty Nick Australian Pub was located.
"Tes.hey.slow down!" Ginny screamed, losing her footing every so often and trying pull her skirt down before it rode up further.
"Huh?" "Stop!" "Oh, sorry." Tessa paced herself and took a deep breath.
"What's wrong?" she asked, looking at her best friend and crossed her arms.
"Nothing's wrong, but I'm wearing heels and not used to having my arm pulled off!"
Giggling, the other girl look warmly hugged Ginny, then drew back to look into her green eyes. "I'm just so excited. Once I get out of school myself, I want to be known. This is the only talent I have, you know? I want to show it off." she smiled and looked at her feet sheepishly.
Sometimes Ginny felt 50 years older then the younger girl instead of only 15 months. "Go on with you, then. I'll meet you there."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, hurry up." Tessa began running again and in a few moments, disappeared from view.
Ginny started at a slower pace and reflected on how much her best friend meant to her. They had met at Hogwarts when she was 14 because each 4th year student willing was assigned a 3rd year to show them Hogsmeade. Tessa Mourning was a Ravenclaw but not enough of their upper-class men signed up so instead she was paired with a Gryffindor, which turned out great because the girls fitted together better than expected. Both made high marks, both were cursed with older brothers, and both were from poor wizarding families. That's where their similarities ended. Ginny's personality was mature, soft and quiet while Tessa was always center of attention, wild and even a little ditzy at times. Ginny's beautiful, sharp looks made Tessa's physical features seem calm. Her curly, long, dark brown hair held highlights of blonde, caramel, and autumn red. She curved softly in the right places and was really no taller than the reporter, but the thing that attracted the most complements were her stunning eyes. They were a mix of deep blue and emerald green, which could be hidden by long, curled eyelashes.
"What the.?" Ginny wondered, snapping out of her thoughts and realized she had turned somewhere and was now in a dark alleyway. Knowing she wasn't allowed to, she pulled out her wand and whispered, "Lumos."
Shadows from other people scrambled to hide and there was a mummer of voices asking questions. She looked behind her and noticed the entrance was close enough so she had a chance to escape. She took a step back, then another, before a male voice yelled, "Get her!"
Ginny was smart enough to know what a man would do to a young woman standing in a dark alley alone, and took off, beginning a chase toward the entrance. Hearing them closing in behind her, she pointed her wand back and stared screaming all the hexes she could remember.
Scooping up her heels, she sprinted to safety on the street and left. Lost, but too scared to stop, she crashed into a man with a great build and the most handsome face she had ever seen. She clung to him and began to sob, not caring if she was in public and whom she had attached herself to.
"Please, help! They are chasing me?"
"Who is?" the guy asked gently.
"Men.in the alley.didn't mean to walk in," she tried to explain through her hic-ups.
"The alley?" the man became stern and pulled her away to look into her eyes.
"Y-Yes," she responded.
"This way, men! Thank you, ma'am. You've been a great help," and dashed off, leaving her alone with his face still pictured in her mind.
She felt her heart flip and her stomach drop. The attraction toward this stranger was more then any thing she had felt before.except the crush she had on Harry Potter, the one boy who treated her well and the only man that didn't seem to care for her the way she cared for him. But this stranger was obviously the man she wanted now and she knew one thing about him. He was an Auror and what ever she had to do to see him again, she'd do.
