A/N - This is a teaser chapter to indulge the seven darling reviewers who wrote! A special "Thank you" to ddu, gothictheatrevampire, silver, sara, lady of scarlet darkness, lorelei malfoy, and narcissus. Now, to answer her question: no this is NOT a Harry/Ginny 'ship by any means. It is Fire & Ice through and through. There is a reason that Harry gave her the tempshere and that Ginny and he share a birthday: July 20th. Just trust me on this for now. (Wink, wink, wink.)

Dear Mum and Dad,
Dranoeltians is fine, although the other girls would not shut up during our Elurtnais Hall meeting last night. My House sorting was quite simple.no hat or anything. They said to check what colour my name is when I leave for breakfast. I felt so out of place and spilt pumpkin juice on myself. Madame Marshall introduced me as being from America which, truthfully, has helped in many ways since I didn't correct her. There are so many customs I've never seen before so being foreign is a nice excuse. Anyways, I must be off to breakfast,
Much love,
Ginny

Ginny stuck her quill in her hair, a trick she had picked up from Luna, and bounded down the stairs to the owlery portkeys. In the front hall, she crashed headlong into Madame Marshall. Seeing who it was she had collided with, Ginny's heart nearly flew out of her mouth. She tried gulping praying she wouldn't be expelled as she helped the house mother to her feet.

"Ginny," she beamed looking up at the girl, "I was just about to see if you'd gotten up yet!" Ginny's heart, which had firmly lodged itself inside her throat, melted. She found herself telling Madame Marshall about how awkward she had felt the night before, though left out the incident where she spilt butter-beer down her front. Ginny explained about Hogwarts and about the partnership the Head Boy & Girl, along with the prefects, shared with the professors.

Much, to Ginny's bewilderment, Madame Marshall told her that she would be the Community Service Representative and on the House Committee. She swept into her office, leaving a dazed Ginny in the front hall. Looking over at the enchanted boards, she saw that her name was a rich green shade. Posted on the message board, she saw a sign that read "New Students." Large script caught her eye; "Miss Virginia Elizabeth Weasly - House of Nymm. First team meeting is to be held tomorrow evening in the Elurtnias Drawing Room."

*Uhh! Why, of all colours, GREEN? Ick!* Ginny scuffed her feet as she stormed into the empty room and reopened her letter. Pulling the quill from her hair, she mused that the only proper shades of green were Harry's eyes and Ron's jealousy and the twins dragon skin tailored jackets Tonks's hair.

P.S. Merlin, I hate green! New house colour you know. I'm in Nymm, whatever that means. Tlai and Jessot are two other houses but I forget the fourth. Humbug.

She decided that she didn't have time to get breakfast but headed instead out the front door, glowering at the glittering green plaque that slid to "ON CAMPUS" as she headed for the auditorium. She paused only a few seconds to check her reflection in the robes of stained glass wizard before hurrying on towards the quad with the rest of the students.
