Disclaimer: The usual blah blah I don't own Harry Potter stuff... must I repeat it yet again?

A/N: aaahhh! I'm sorry that it took me so long with this, I don't really have any excuses as I've had this chapter written for about a week and yet I hadn't posted it yet, I've just been busy. You'd better appreciate the fact that I wrote these while on vacation at the beach and on hotel napkins and paper, etc... Anyway, hope you like it, replies are at the bottom.

When all that you wanted
And all that you have don't seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
Hold on

Jet: Hold On
Chapter Seven: Everything Else in My Life Just Might be Wrong


"Bill, I cannot believe that you dragged me out here! I told you that I didn't want to come."

Her brother turned around and walked back to Ginny where she had stopped in front of Florean Fortescue's.

"Gin, you've locked yourself up in my house for a week now, it's time you got some fresh air. Besides, as I've already explained to you, I'm taking you to this club opening tonight and you need something to wear!"

Ginny sighed in exasperation. "Why can't I just wear something I already have?"

"Because my dear sister, tonight will be special." Bill didn't bother to explain why it would be special and stopped in front of a brick wall, taking out his wand from the pocket of his jeans. "Which is why we're going shopping in Muggle London."
An hour later Ginny and Bill walked back into The Leaky Cauldron, shopping bags in both of Ginny's hands. Bill stopped near the fireplace.

"Ginny, will you be OK to go ahead and floo back home? I've got a few people I need to find."

Ginny laughed. "It's all right, Fang. If you wanna go sneak off with Karen, you don't have to make excuses."

Bill started sputtering but Ginny ignored him and grabbed a pinch of floo powder from the free pot and threw it into the flames. "Haringey!" she shouted, and then disappeared. Bill shook his head and strode over to a table in the far corner where he was greeted by three wizards.

"Bill, mate!" said the tallest one. He had dark hair and piercing blue eyes. "Is she coming tonight?"

Bill looked over to the man sitting across from him.

"She'll be there, don't worry."
OK, OK, so it was incredibly short but it had to be. The next chapter is the last, yes that's right, the last, and I'll try and post it tomorrow or Monday but I can't be sure cuz I'm going out with a friend tomorrow. I'll try though.

Oh, and a little side note... Haringey is a real place in London, not that anyone probably cares...

Alright, favor time... I'm trying to decide which fic I wanna post next so do me a favor and tell me which one of these would you most like to read:

1. Haven: DG, post-Hogwarts for Draco, Ginny is in her 7th year. During an attack on the school, Ginny gets stuck with the most unlikely of protectors.
OR
2. Globes & Maps: DG, spoilers up to the 3rd book, After an attack on the Weasleys, Ginny is sit into hiding in America where nothing-and no one- is what it seems.

Reviews make me write faster...
