The rest of the holidays continued without a hitch. Virginia kept her secret from her family with the help of Bill and Charlie, who had become like Virginia's bodyguards, treating her like a famous celebrity.
Then that happy day came, September the 1st. The crew from the Burrow were all up and ready by 8am, determined not to be late this time. Virginia had decided to wear some of her new clothes to the station and to Hogwarts to show Monique. "Speaking of Nique" Virginia thought, "She is really going to get it when I see her next." Rubbing her hands together and chuckling gleefully Virginia set of downstairs wearing her black hipster jeans with the whiskers and a red halter top along with a dragon belly ring she had bought from a shop in Diagon Alley. Getting to the bottom step she was stopped by Bill who came rushing out as soon as he had seen her to stop her from showing her new clothes to her parents. "Get upstairs and get your robes on before mum and dad sees you" he hissed.
Realizing her problem Virginia cursed and sprinted up to her room to grab her robe before she was seen by anyone from her family.
Re-emerging back downstairs Virginia was ambushed by her mother who was forcing toast and eggs on her.
"Oh but you're so skinny darling" her mother gushed, "your not becoming anorexic are you?"
Virginia just shook her head.
"I'm getting very worried about you darling. You haven't spoken a word since the holidays ended."
Virginia shot a look at Bill and Charlie that plainly said 'Help!' but they decided to stay silent so all Virginia could do was shrug her shoulders.
"Fine, ignore your mother, become one of those withdrawn teenagers who eventually commit suicide because they hate the world. See if I care." Her mother sobbed.
Ron, Harry and Hermione had to stifle a giggle while Virginia rolled her eyes. Virginia was about to blow her cover and speak when Ron spoke up and said, "Mum, can we leave now." And everyone walked out the door.
Once they had made it to Kings Cross Virginia escaped her family and went to find Monique. She was hanging around in one of the compartments near the back of the train.
"Nia!!!!!" she screamed, "Oh my god! Its been so long!"
"So long since when? You ditched me after I got my tongue pierced?"
"Oh aren't you over that yet? Come on that was so 2 weeks ago."
Virginia nodded and smiled but the twinkle in her eyes meant she wasn't over it, not by a long shot.
Monique had persuaded Virginia to remove her cloak until they got to school. Because they were arriving on a Friday night this year there was no need to change into their school robes. Leaning back on one of he bench seats Monique shot a look at Virginia who was lying sprawled on the floor, her hair splayed around her head like a fiery mane and asked, "How did your parents handle the ring?"
Virginia shot her a look of pure hatred and sighed.
"Oh my god!" Monique laughed, "You haven't told them yet. Does any of your brothers know?"
"Yeh" she nodded, "Bill and Charlie, they helped me cover it up all summer."
"Ha ha, wait until your other brothers find out!"
The compartment door slid open, "Find out what?"
