She had already packed, as she was intending to leave the next day. She had no intention whatsoever of obeying her mother. She was going to America and under a new identity. She was not going to let her parents find her, until she was ready. She decided that when she got to the school, she would start a new life, free of the rest of her family, and the life she had known.
She got to work that night. She used a severing charm to cut off her waist length red hair to just below her chin. She liked her hair. It was straight and thick, and a beautiful colour. She didn't worry about cutting it, as she knew that she could always use a hair growth potion on it. It would regrow in about a month.
To solve the problem of her trademark bright red hair, she dyed it that night a dark red. It wasn't as orange and bright. It was now a dark rich shade of auburn, with more red in it than brown. She admired her hadiwork.
To complete the image, Ginny decided on a new name. As she looked into the mirror, she wasn't looking at Virginia Elizabeth Weasley, anymore.
She began muttering names under her breath, trying to see if they suited her.
"Lynne... Katie... Kelly... Lilly... Anna... Jennifer... Alicia... Ashley... Mary... Rose... Bronwyn... Amanda... Amy...Amy that's it. It fits perfectly! So my name will be Amy. Last name, Amy... Amy... Amy... Wellesley, no it's too close to Weasley. I've got it. Amy Wright. I probably need a middle name. Why don't I just keep my own middle name. It'll be my small tie to my life her. Besides, Amy Elizabeth Wright sounds good. Sold! I'm now Miss Amy Elizabeth Wright."
As she gazed into the mirror, the name seemed to fit naturally. She smiled at herself, then locked her doors, placed the apparition lock on her flat, so that no one could enter while she was asleep, and went to bed.
She woke up excited the next day. It was four in the morning, but as her plane left at six, she needed to hurry. She lifted the apparition lock, and gathered her trunk, leaving a note for her family, telling them that she had gone to America. She didn't tell them where she was going in America, so that they couldn't follow her. She dressed as a Muggle in a loose summer skirt and a blouse.
Making sure she hadn't left anything, she apparated to the airport. Wizards had designated apparating areas, so as not to alarm the Muggles.
She walked to the counter, and handed the woman at the desk her ticket. She loaded her trunk onto the conveyer which would take it to the plane. It was charmed with Muggle repellent charms, so that no muggle would try to search it.
She then went through security. She handed the guard her purse, to be searched for weapons. Her wand was charmed so that when a muggle looked at it, it appeared to be a tube of lipstick.
She made it through security without a second thought. As she was walking away, she saw a flash of red and three voices called out, "Ginny, Ginny!"
Charlie, Fred and George were in the airport looking for her. She tried to walk away, but they had spotted her. Even with her changed hair, they still recognised her.
Fred called out, "Ginny, come back please, talk to us."
She whipped around and walked back through the security gates, apologising to the guard.
She approached her brothers, and looked them in the eyes. She had always been tall, built along the same lines as Ron and Percy. She was barely shorter than Fred and George.
"Talk to you?" she said calmly, her voice full of anger. "About what? I'm goin to America in half an hour, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Her brothers were momentarily distracted from the topic at hand, and were staring at her hair. "Ginny, what did you do?" Charlie asked her.
"I dyed and cut it, what does it look like? Now I have twenty minutes to get to the plane. If you will please excuse me." She tried to walk away, but the twins grabbed her arms.
"Ginny, please don't go. We love you. You're our sister."
Ginny shook herself free of them, and walked away, just before she passed once more through security, she turned. "For your information, my name is Amy Elizabeth Wright, and I am a teacher in America. I don't know who Virginia Weasley is. Goodbye."
She stalked off, leaving a stricken Fred George and Charley. Ginny had renounced her family. Mrs Weasley would be heartbroken.
They made their way back to the Burrow, where the rest of the family was waiting. Ron had paid an early visit to Ginny's flat to cheer her up, and had woken everyone when her found her note.
