Chapter One: Prologue, New Thoughts, and Brotherly Confessions

            Sun poured over Privet Drive on the 1st of June.  Sitting on a bench in the yard of Number Four was a 15 year old boy by the name of Harry Potter. 

            Harry had just arrived back from his 5th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  He had just left the place that he thought more of as home then with his Aunt and Uncle there on Privet Drive.  He sat on that bench, daydreaming about the past events of his most recent year at school. 

            It was just a year ago he was taken to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, the group of anti-Voldemort supporters, which included his best friend Ron's parents and his older siblings Bill and Charlie, plenty of Aurors, his Godfather Sirius Black, old Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and parent's friend Remus Lupin, and Albus Dumbledore himself, the Headmaster of Hogwarts and leader of the Order, along with all his supporters. The headquarters was located at Number Twelve Grimmuald Place, home to Sirius Black when he was a child.

            He dreamt back to his year at Hogwarts, which had almost not happened because he was accused of using magic outside of school.  He had used it to fight off Dementors who attacked himself and his cousin Dudley. He was taken to a wizard court and was proven innocent. 

            Along with his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, they had formed a Defense Against the Dark Arts group at school called Dumbledore's Army, or the DA for short, to help other students with charms and jinxes to help defend themselves.   Their real Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Umbridge, was a cruel woman, and was placed as High Inquisitor of Hogwarts by the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.  Fudge himself refused to believe that Voldemort had returned so articles in the Daily Prophet made Harry out to be mad.

            Harry eventually had to go deep into the Department of Mysteries, where Voldemort was looking for a Lost Prophecy.  Sirius Black had died in the battle, and was hit with the spell by his own cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, and fallen behind a veil and died.  The thought of his godfather, the only person who could possibly been like a father to him, the person who could have saved him from living with the Dursleys, was gone.  The scene of him falling was played over and over in his head, and was suddenly replaced by the figure of a girl with red hair.

            "It can't be..." Harry thought to himself.  Why was he thinking of her? "It couldn't be..."he thought again.  But he suddenly realized the truth.  It was her.  Virginia Weasley.  His best friend's little sister.  The little girl who he had watched grow up under his very nose.  But he was too thick to see it at first.  All the time he ever liked Cho Chang was a phase.  He knew in his heart the one girl he truly loved was Ginny.  He had to do something about what he felt.  But what could he do? She had a crush on him when she was a little girl, but was it possible? Could she still have feelings for him after all these years? 

            Meanwhile, a certain red-haired girl sat alone in her bedroom, dreaming of a certain green-eyed boy. 

            Ginny Weasley was flipping through a scrapbook of photos Colin Creevy, one of her best friends, had made for her.  She suddenly turned to a page to find a picture of none other then Harry Potter staring back at her, waving and smiling.

            "Remember to thank Colin for this," she told herself.

            "I really miss him," Ginny said aloud, thinking no-one would hear her.  Suddenly, she heard her brother Bill say:

            "Ok, so what boy has caught the eye of my baby sister?"

            "Hi Bill," she said sarcastically, walking over to him and giving him a hug.

            "Hey Ginny," he said, hugging his sister back.  "So who's this mystery boy?"

            "Umm...you promise not to tell?" she asked him.

            "Of course I won't say anything, Gin.  You know you can trust me," he replied.  She suddenly remembered why her older brother was so cool.

            "Um....It's.....Harry," she mumbled.

            "I KNEW IT!" Bill said in a matter-of-fact tone that sounded somewhat like Hermione.  "Do you think he likes you, Gin?"

            "NO!" she shouted.  "I wouldn't expect him to like me! I mean he's known FOREVER that I like him, but all I am to him is Ron's little sister, the annoying, ugly, tag-along."  A tear rolled down her cheek, and Bill wiped it away. 

            "C'mon, Ginny.  Don't think that way!  You're beautiful, smart, funny, all of the qualities I'm sure everyone INCLUDING Harry can see in you.  Trust me, I'm your brother.  I know these things!"

            "Thanks, Bill," she sighed as she hugged her brother. 

            "Now C'mon!  Mum's got an announcement to make!" Bill said.  He picked Ginny up off her bed and carried her down to the kitchen where their entire family was sitting, gathered around the table.
