Disclaimer: Yeah.

A/n: More inspiration! Woo! I like reviews! If you all review quickly, then I might update sooner! That is unless I get the feared writer's block..... *shudders from saying name of dreaded disease* So, ya think Remus talked too much last chapter? Hehehehehe.

Chapter Four

Ginny walked through the hallway to Dumbledore's office. She walked up to the stone gargoyle. "Dr.Pepper Jellybeans." The stairs move to show the stair case, which she climbs up. 'His passwords get weirder every year.' She thought, as she knocked on the door.

"Come in Miss Weasley." She walks in. She sits down.

"Professor, you already know what I'm going to say, more than likely." She looks hopeful.

He smiles. "No, you don't have to take any classes this year either. I do have a little project for you though." His eyes have that familiar twinkle in them as he points toward a manila envelope.

"What's in there?" She asks as she picks it up.

"You'll see. Don't open it until classes start tomorrow morning. Don't tell anyone about it, students anyway. You may work wherever you please, just try not to disturb any classes." He's grinning.

"You're really proud of yourself over this, aren't you?" She runs her fingers over the edge of the envelope. "And what do I tell the other students I'm doing? They're going to want to know where I am. Believe me."

Dumbledore shrugs. "You are a very intelligent girl. You used to work with the marauders. You figure it out."

Ginny smiles. "See you later professor." She walks out of the room to her dorm.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning at breakfast, Ginny opens the envelope. She reads the writing on it, and smiles. Harry sees her smile.

"I haven't seen you that happy in awhile, Gin. What's that?"

She grins. "Nothing important, to you at least."

He grabs for it, but she gets up and runs up to Dumbledore and throws her arms around his neck. "I'll do it! I promise!"

He smiles. "I'm sure you will."

Remus looks over. "Do what?"

Ginny ignores him. "Well, I'm off to the library. How long do I have?"

"Until the first of July. That's the day."

Ginny nods and walks off.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A week or so later, Hermione is standing outside Lupin's door ready to go in and ask him a question about her homework. She hears voices, and decides to eavesdrop. One of the voices is Ginny's and the other is undoubtedly Lupin's. She turns so she can see through the barely open door a little. Ginny has a dreamy kind of look on her face.

"We were outside. It was probably the night of that New Year's party we had. There was a clear sky, and we were looking at the stars. I looked over at him, and he moved in to kiss me and then," She stops.

"And then, what?"

"I woke up." She looks at the floor.

"It's over, Ginny. Forget him."

"I can't do that! He's innocent! I swear! He'd never do that..."

Outside the door, Hermione looks very confused, to say the least.

"I miss him.... And I-"

Hermione knocks on the door.

Lupin says, "Come in." Ginny goes to look out the window.

Hermione walks in slowly. She walks up to Lupin, who's sitting at his desk. Ginny turns around. "I'll see ya later, professor." 'I need to get out of here before Hermione can catch up with me and ask me a question. I know she heard us talking.....' Ginny walks out of the door.

"Yes, Hermione?"

Hermione looks at the door where Ginny left. "Actually, would you believe it, I forgot. I'll come back later if I remember."

Remus smiles. "Alright." Hermione runs out the door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ginny! Wait up!"

Ginny sighs. 'Great.... Not that I don't like her or anything, I just don't want to answer the question she's about to ask....' She stops walking.

"Hey Hermione."

"Hey." They walk together for a couple of seconds, then, "What's been going on with you lately? Are you ok? I... heard you and professor Lupin talking. Who's this guy?" She looks her, not wanting to wait for an answer.

Ginny sighs. "I don't really want to talk about it."

"You know you can trust me with anything."

"I know. It's a long story, really. Let's just say it involves that little project that Dumbledore gave me."

"What do you have to do?"

"You'll find out when the time comes."

"I'm just concerned...."

Ginny smiles. "I know. Thanks. I can take care of myself though. Don't worry, Voldemort's not involved."

Hermione looks surprised that Ginny said his name and she's still smiling. They're standing outside the library door.

"Now, if you don't mind, I need to do a little work in here and you are going to be late to your next class if you don't hurry."

Hermione nods. "See you later. Remember, you can tell me anything."

Ginny nods and walks into the library. She pulls out her book bag, and gets to work.
