"Promise?" her muffled voice appeared from the deep folds of his robes.
"I promise." He looked down at her sunset colored hair, wondering why he was saying, and doing, what he was. Shouldn't he be out there talking to her parents with the others?
Almost as if she heard his thoughts, she said, "Please don't leave me alone."
Even though he knew he shouldn't, Severus tightened his grip on her. He was perched on the edge of the bed, leaning over her, and she had her head tucked under his chin.
"What do you think you're doing?"
They jerked apart at the angry female's voice.
"Hi, Mum."
Virginia looked up at her mother, who was followed by her father and a nineteen year old Percy.
"Don't you 'hi, Mum' me! What's the meaning of us getting called down to the school? You know your father and Percy have to be at work! That's more important than your fainting over nothing!" Upon sending Virginia a last, potent glare, Molly Weasely turned to the Headmaster. "If anything else happens to her, don't bother sending an owl. We don't have the time."
Nodding her head to the professors, she grabbed her husband's arm, and dragged him out the door. Percy paused, walked back and handed Virginia a note with a cold look.
"Give this to whom it needs to go to."
"W-What?"she looked at her older brother like he was insane.
"This is the information that allows you to stay somewhere else for any holidays, breaks, etc." he pushed his glasses further back on the bridge of his nose, then turned and hurried out the door, following in his parent's footsteps.
Virginia looked at the note, handed it to Dumbledore, and curled into herself one more, as salty tears slid down her face.
A/N- Well? At the moment, I'm lost. I don't know what's going to happen next! The last three chapters, I had planned out. If any of you have ANY ideas, PLEASE send them to me. PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
