Chapter Five

A few minutes before Harry and her brothers arrived, Ginny was sitting up in her room. Even though it was now about seven in the morning, Ginny hadn't slept a wink. Something had been bothering her for the past few weeks. She couldn't sleep at all. Every night she had this strange dream. It was of when she was a baby. She dreamt that she was with some stranger. A woman. The woman had put Ginny in a basket and placed a cover over her. She then began to run with Ginny, until a man stopped her. He would then try to pry Ginny out of the woman's hands and when he did, he threw Ginny into the streets, dragging a screaming and crying woman away. The screaming was never heard, though, since it was only a dream. Ginny would be left in the middle of the street in the pouring rain. A car then suddenly began to drive towards her, closer and closer. But then, before the car could reach her and send her to her shallow grave...

Ginny was then snapped out of her thoughts when a loud THUMP was heard downstairs. Ginny ran downstairs and into the kitchen, where she had heard the noise. She pulled out her wand just in case before she entered. She jumped out, wand extended. Her brothers stood froze, as well as Ginny did, until someone finally spoke. "What are you doing up so late? Besides scaring me half to death," Ginny demanded to know.

"Correction. What are you dong up so early?" Fred said, moving his index finger from side to side as he spoke.

"I heard a noise and woke up and came down."

"Oh shit. We woke you up? What if mum or dad woke up as well?" Ron asked Fred and George, like they knew.

"Don't worry, mum's not what you'd call a light sleeper, now is she?" George answered.

"I'm not, am I?" said the voice of Mrs. Weasley from behind the twins.

The twins suddenly froze and didn't move a muscle. "If we don't move... maybe she won't notice us..." Fred muttered, trying not to move an inch.

"HOW DARE YOU SNEAK OUT!? AGAIN! DIDN'T YOU LEARN THE FIRST TIME!?" Mrs. Weasley screamed at the twins and Ron. Harry just stood there, unnoticed and grateful for that at this moment.

"B-but mum! We had to go get Harry!" Ron tried reasoning with his clearly un-reasonable mother.

"WE COULD HAVE GOT HIM IN THE MORNING! WHAT IF YOU GOT LOST, OR WHAT IF YOU GOT CAUGHT BY THE MINISTRY!?"

"Mum, we wouldn't have gotten caught. We used Spin Dus-," George began, until Fred elbowed him in his gut to shut up.

"YOU USED THE SPIN DUST! I TOLD YOU IT WAS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY!"

"B-b-but..." George couldn't think of anyway to argue out of this one.

Mrs. Weasley then turned to Harry. "It's nice to see you again, dear. You know where Ron's room is. Ginny, dear, help Harry carry his things to Ron's room while I have a little talk with your brothers." Mrs. Weasley glared at Fred, George, and Ron as she spoke her last eight words. Not wanting to get her anymore angry, Harry grabbed his trunk and began upstairs, Ginny with Hedwig behind him.

A/N: Ok, I had a complaint about my chapters being a bit too short, so I tried my hardest to make this one longer. But, as you can see, I'm not as talented at writing as people say I am. Sorry this chapter took so long, tornado in town, over-flown pool in my yard, pieces of other people's houses everywhere. Huge mess and I had to help clean. Well, I'll try to update quicker and make the chapters longer.
