            Everyone reached forward and grabbed part of the branch. A few moments later, they went hurtling to the Burrow.

            Harry and Ron landed on their feet beside Mr. Weasley while Sarah tumbled onto the cold ground of the front lawn. She looked up to see the Burrow, leaning over her.

            "Wow, that's a huge house!" she whispered. Harry leaned over to help her up. She paused as Harry held onto her hand and they stared at each other dearly. Ron cleared his throat loudly and Harry let go of Sarah's hand. As they all started to walk to the front door of the Burrow, Ron leaned over and whispered to Harry, "Sorry mate."

            Once they were inside, all the Weasley family, including a scowling Hermione, greeted them and Ginny's tear streaked face. Harry felt a twinge of guilt and tried to smile at them. Ginny's lip quivered and she ran upstairs with Hermione in quick pursuit. But not before Hermione could give Harry the most horrible glare she could muster. Mrs. Weasley then stepped in between Harry and the stairs and engulfed him in a huge hug.

            "Harry, oh Harry! We're so glad you're safe! When we didn't get any letters, I got so worried about you!"

            "Uhh…Mrs. Weasley?" Harry gasped.

            "Yes dear?" She grinned at him.

            Harry took as much of a breath as he could, "I can't breathe!"

            "Oh!" Mrs. Weasley blushed and let go of Harry, "Who's this?" she asked as she turned to Sarah.

            "This is Sarah Mum. She's going to Hogwarts early this year," Ron explained.

            "No need for that dear. I'll owl your Gran and Prof. Dumbledore and you'll be able to stay here for the rest of summer. It's no bother for me," Mrs. Weasley grinned at the thought of another child to take care of, "Now, why don't you go upstairs with Ron and Harry and we'll get you settled in a room."

            "Th-thank yo-you," Sarah stuttered. Mr. Weasley cast a levitating spell on the trunks and followed the kids up the stairs.

            Ron knocked on Ginny and Hermione's door. "GO AWAY!" Ginny screamed. Ron backed up.

            "There's an extra room don't worry," Ron said as they continued down the hallway, "Percy doesn't leave here anymore so you can use his room."

            Mr. Weasley dropped his wand, causing the trunks to hit the ground with a loud thud.

            "Sorry Dad," Ron blushed. Mr. Weasley quickly got his composure back and levitated the trunks again. Soon, they were at Percy's door. Ron turned to Sarah; "No one's been in here since last year so it might be a little dirty and stuffy. We'll help you clean it in a bit though ok?" Sarah nodded and dragged her trunk into the small room.

            "Thank you all so much," she smiled and turned to her trunk to unpack. Mr. Weasley shut the door quietly.

            "I'm sure you boys can handle taking this trunk up to Ron's room by yourselves right?" Ron and Harry nodded, "Good. Then I'm off. See you boys later." Mr. Weasley made his way down the stairs as the two teen-age boys carried Harry's belongings to Ron's room. They quickly shoved the trunk into a clean corner by Harry's cot and went back to Ginny's room. Harry knocked this time a bit quieter. Hermione's face appeared in between the door and the wall.

            "What do you want?" she hissed.

            Ron and Harry were taken aback. "Look I want to apologize to Ginny," Harry whispered. Hermione nodded and let the boys in. Their mouths dropped open as they saw the floor. On it was every picture with Harry in it, only Harry was ripped out of the picture or burnt out of it. As Harry's eyes found Ginny sitting in a chair by her window, he noticed she was dressed in all black with a thick band of black eyeliner under both of her eyes and black lipstick. Her hair was midnight black. Harry gasped as he saw it.

            "Ginny! Your hair…what happened?" Harry cried out, causing Ron to look and scream like a little girl.

            Ginny looked up and glared at Harry. In her hand was a portrait picture of Harry and in the other hand was a lighter. "Sorry, jerk said what to me?" She flicked the lighter and Harry's picture caught fire. She waved it to put out the flame before she tossed it onto the floor. Harry flinched slightly. He couldn't believe how much he hurt Ginny. He stepped forward.

            "Ginny…look…I'm sorry. Please forgive me?" Harry asked meekly. Ginny looked up and glared at him.

            "That was the WORST apology I have ever heard! And, by the way, I won't forgive you! Now get out off my room…NOW!!" She stood up and pushed the "play" button on her CD player. "Love Bites" blasted loudly from the speakers. Harry and Ron backed up until they were at the entrance of Ginny's room and Ginny slammed the door in their faces.

            "Think she's mad Harry?" Ron asked timidly. Harry groaned.

            "Let's just go unpack Ron," Harry muttered. The two boys walked slowly up to Ron's room.

            Soon, they had unpacked Harry's trunk but Harry couldn't stop thinking about Ginny gone Gothic. Why did this happen? Was it his entire fault? What was her family going to say? Would they throw Harry out? Harry bit his lip just thinking about it. Something tapped him on the shoulder just then, making him jump. He looked up to see Sarah and Ron looking at him. They both looked really worried.

            "Ummm…Harry?" Ron whispered. Harry just nodded, "Ginny…Ginny…"

            "Ginny ran away Harry," Sarah finished, "Hermione had to go get her stuff from the front and when she came back there was this note pinned to the door and Ginny's room was cold and all of her stuff was gone. Do you have any idea where she could of gone?"

            Harry took the note from Sarah's out-stretched hand and read it three times over. It was written really fast in Ginny's pretty cursive. It said, "Dear Family, Hermione and our guests,

            "Due to the fact that I'm really mad at someone, and they know who they are, I have decided to take leave and go visit my dear brother in London, Percy. Don't worry Mum and Dad, I'll be ok. And no one else worry either or come after me. I promise to stay away from strange people here, I'll write soon, and I'll make it to the Hogwarts Express. I already sent a letter off to Percy so he'll be expecting me anyways. I promise to keep safe. Love you all lots and see you soon, hopefully.

                                    "Love, Ginny."

            Harry sank down onto Ron's bed after he finished reading the letter.

            "Oh my gosh…" he whispered, "It's all my fault that Ginny's gone…isn't it?" Harry asked Ron and Sarah.

            " 'Course not mate," Ron said helpfully, "No one's to blame."

            Just then Hermione stormed in and pointed an excusing finger at Harry, "It's all your fault!" she screeched, "Ginny wouldn't have left if you hadn't broken her heart so!" Hermione ran out of the room, dramatically. Ron stared after her.

            "How long do you think it took her to practice that?!?" Ron asked, totally confused. Harry sighed and stood up. He strod to his side of the room and picked up his broom and took out his bag. He stuffed his wand, money, and his broom-kit. He draped the Invisibility cloak over him and walked towards the window.

            "Hold up!" Ron said, grabbing Harry's broom. Harry stopped for a moment, "She said not to go after her. What are you doing?"

            Harry turned and smiled, "Going after her." With that, he kicked open the window and mounted his broom. He kicked off into the inky sky.

            Once he had gotten high enough, Harry made sure his bag was completely concealed, as was the rest of him and him broom by the cloak. He took out his compass and started to direct himself to London.

            Ginny stood by the street corner with her wand up, trying to flag down the Knight Bus. The giant, purple mass skidded to a halt and Ginny climbed up the stairs and paid her fee. She sat tiredly on the bed at the very back, hoping no one she knew got on. Soon that didn't matter as she fell into a deep sleep and only awoke when the conductor yelled, "Last stop for London!" in her ear. She bolted up right and snatched her belongings and darted out the door. Percy's happy face welcomed her home. He was grinning ear to ear.

            "I'm so glad you came to visit me Ginny. Oh, I have a surprise for you. It's back in my flat. Come on!" Percy grabbed Ginny's hand and dragged her to his flat. They ran up the stairs and Percy unlocked his door. He covered Ginny's eyes with his hands and guided her down the hall.

            "OK, now turn to your right. Open your eyes," he said as he lifted his hands from her eyes. Ginny mouth fell open and she grinned ear-to-ear.

            "Perce…you're the best!" Ginny whispered as she hugged her older brother.

            He smiled and said, "Anything for my baby sister. Now, how about you get yourself settled and then I'll take you down to the salon and get the horrible stuff out of your hair and then I'll take you shopping! No cash limits!"

            Ginny couldn't believe it. Her brother had never been this happy before, "Oh well," she thought, "This is the greatest thing to happen to me ever!" She looked at the room that Percy had made for her. It was periwinkle blue with a white canopy bed, wardrobe, dresser, vanity table, desk and white shag carpet. There was a window seat with white and light blue velvet pillows and there were flowers, white and blue of course, everywhere! The canopy on her bed was flowing, transparent white silk and there were light blue ribbons placed and curled tastefully, hanging down. The walls were decorated with black and white pictures of couples and lakes and forests. Lots of books sat on her desk, along with two complete pen sets and a jar with roll of parchment. Ginny rushed to the wardrobe and threw open it's doors. Inside was three dress robes- one in light blue silk, one in cream velvet with light blue swirls embroidered in it, and one in a deep, rich purple, like the colour that only royalty wear. On her shelves in the wardrobe were three pairs of beautiful shoes- one pair was white with thin heals and tie-up laces, one pair was black and pointy with lots of buttons, and the last pair was clear crystal with flowers and swirls engraved in the heels. Ginny closed the doors and rushed to her dresser. In each of the seven drawers there was a packet of lavender and a velvet pouch with 10 Galleons in each. Ginny had never had 70 Galleons before! She was totally speechless. She unpacked her trunk and Percy came in quietly.

            "Did you look in your drawers and wardrobe?" he smiled. Ginny nodded.

            "Oh Percy! This is perfect! I never knew you loved me so much!" Ginny was almost in tears of gratitude.

            "Don't cry sugar," came a sweet, Tennessee voice from her doorway. Ginny looked up and saw the prettiest woman she had ever met! "I'm Isabelle sugar and you must be Ginny. Percy's told me oh so much about you darling. So when I heard that you were coming down for a visit I knew a girl as special as you needed her own room. Do you like it sugar?"

            Ginny smiled and said, "Yes ma'am! It's really nice…how do you and Percy know each other by the way?"

            Percy and Isabelle looked at each other fondly, "Well, you see, Percy's my boyfriend," Isabelle smiled sweetly. Ginny smiled back, "So how about we get that horrible make-up off of you sugar?" Ginny stood up and sat on her vanity table's velvet chair. Isabelle took out her wand and cast a spell Ginny had never heard of before. She picked up a mirror and smiled as she saw she had her natural hair back and all that black stuff was off her face! She put the mirror down and said, "So are we going shopping now?" Isabelle and Percy grinned.

            "Of course we are sugar. First it's to the salon to get you all your beauty essentials and a makeover. Then it's to the malls to get you a new wardrobe. And last, but not least, it's to Diagon Alley to get you all new books and replace everything that you've had to use second-hand," Isabelle grinned and took Ginny's hand and led her down the stairs with Percy. Ginny had always wished this would happen to her but she couldn't help but wonder how Percy and Isabelle were getting this money. Of course, since this was the first, and probably last, time this had ever happened to Ginny, she didn't question it.
