Chapter 4:
The rest of the summer went by fast. Before Harry knew it, it was time to return to school. It was just after diner and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were in Ron's room playing Exploding Snap. Suddenly an owl flew through the open window and landed on Ginny's lap.
"Hey, that looks like a school owl!"
"Yeah, it does," said Ginny taking the letter from it before it flew back out the window. "But what would a school owl be doing coming here with one day left of summer?"
"Who cares, Gin, open the letter," urged Ron.
Ginny opened the parchment, and a small badge fell out. Ron grabbed the badge and studied it as Ginny read the letter.
"I made prefect," Ginny said handing the letter to Ron.
"Apparently," Ron said taking the letter and giving her the badge.
Harry and Hermione read over his shoulder:
Dear Miss Weasley,
I am delighted to tell you, you have been selected for Gryffindor
prefect. I apologize for the delay, as there was some controversy in
choosing the prefects this year. On the first of September, please
report to the prefect's car at 11:00 am on the Hogwarts Express for
further instruction.

"Congratulations, Ginny, your mum'll be so proud," Hermione said.
"Yeah, I'm going to go tell her now. I suppose she would want to know," Ginny replied leaving the room.
Five minutes later they heard a yelp, "Guess she's happy. I wonder what she will get Ginny."
Just then Ginny walked back in, "Hermione, will you go with me to Diagon Alley tomorrow. I want to pick up something, and I need help finding something really nice."
"Sure, Ginny, I'd be happy to go with you. We'll go first thing in the morning."
"Thanks. Oh, and Mum says its time for bed."
They bid each other goodnight Harry did not sleep easily that night. He tossed and turned the whole time.
The next morning Hermione and Ginny left immediately after breakfast. Ginny had twenty galleons in her pocket and had strict instructions to only spend what she needed. They walked down Diagon Alley, talking about the new school year when Ginny came to a sudden halt.
"Oh, Hermione, look at this, isn't it gorgeous?" Ginny squealed pointing at a forest green, velvet cloak.
"Come one, let's get it," Hermione said, pulling her into the shop.
Soon, they walked out of the shop. Ginny had the cloak wrapped up under her arm, "Well, that was a quick trip. I guess it's time to go home then."
"Not so fast. We aren't done yet. You need something to go with that cloak of you're."
"But, I don't have the money," protested Ginny.
"I know. Come one," said Hermione.
Hermione took Ginny into muggle London, despite her protests. She pulled her into a small shop, about three blocks from the Leaky Cauldron. In the back of the shop, a midnight blue shirt hung. Next to it, there was a black skirt.
Hermione took them off the rack and pushed them towards Ginny, "Try them on."
"Hermione, I couldn't."
"Yes, you can," Hermione said shoving Ginny towards the fitting room.
Ten minutes later Ginny stepped out of the room. Hermione looked her up and down. The shirt came off her shoulders a bit and was low enough to show some skin, but not too much. It hugged her body perfectly. The skirt hung three inches above her knees, showing off her long, slender legs.
"Perfect. Just one slight adjustment."
"And what would that be?" asked Ginny. "You'll see," Hermione said. "Now go change so I can pay for this.
"WHAT!?!" Ginny yelled. "I can't, Mum will kill me!"
Hermione put her hand on her hips, and pointed at fitting room. Reluctantly, Ginny changed. When she finished, she handed the cloths to Hermione. She paid for the outfit along with a pair of black, heeled sandals.
Without a word, Hermione left the shop, followed closely by Ginny, The walked down the street to another shop. Inside, Ginny realized, was a jewelry store. Hermione insisted on her getting jewelry. So, when they left, Ginny had a pair of heart-shaped, sapphire earrings and a matching necklace.
"Hermione, you shouldn't have done this. I didn't need it."
"Nonsense, you deserve it. Besides, there's got to be someone at school you want to impress."
'Well, there is one person," Ginny blushed.
"See, I knew it! Why do you think I did this for you?" Hermione said.
When they got home, they found Harry and Ron playing wizard's chess, "have you two done anything today?"
"Of course we have," said Harry.
"Oh really? What have you done?" Hermione asked.
"We played eight games of wizard's chess," said Ron.
"Oh, how productive," Hermione said sarcastically. "Come one Ginny, let's go pack. I suggest you two do the same."
Hermione, Ginny, Harry, and Ron spent the rest of the afternoon packing. After dinner, they all went out in the back yard. They decided to spend their last night just relaxing.
At eleven o'clock, Mrs. Weasley told them all to go to bed. "Goodnight Harry, Ron. See you in the morning," Hermione said giving them each a hug.
"'Night," Harry and Ron said together.
