Ginny awoke to the sound of tapping at her window. She let out a loud irritated groan and pulled herself out of bed. 'I'm going to kill that bastard and his mother if it's the last bloody sodding thing I do!!!' Ginny cursed. Hermione was still sound asleep as Ginny snuck past and opened the window and the black eagle with the brown feathered head flew in.

"Hey Ifrit has that idiot gotten you to fly all that way again?" Ginny whispered bitterly to the mighty eagle. She patted its head and untied the letter from its leg gently.

FLASHBACK

"Fred get the door." Molly shouted from the kitchen hearing the door being knocked on.

"George get the door I'm not." Fred whined nudging George with his foot who was sitting beside him on the coach going through their sales papers of their joke shop secretly.

"Ron you get it I'm busy." George said to his brother sitting on the coach across from him talking to Harry and Hermione while kicking back Fred. Ron lifted his head up away from the conversation he was engaged in.

"Bill wake up and get the door BILL GET UP." Ron yelled at his older brother who had come at the beginning of the summer holidays sleeping in the arm chair. Ron got frustrated and chucked a pillow at Bill's face. He moaned and opened his eyes. Another knock came from the door and Bill stood only to fall back into his chair in exhaustion. Ginny came into the room in her PJ's and looked around the room.

"Goo-"She started.

"GET THE DOOR." Fred, George, Ron and Bill said in unison. Ginny rolled her eyes and walked off towards the door muttering under her breath. 'Stupid little lazy asses I just haaad to be the youngest those....' Ginny's eyes were wide open as she opened the door to the woman. 'This is Nacrissa Malfoy isn't it whaa....buuut....okay..' Ginny thought puzzled. 'What in Earth was she doing here at the burrow of all places.'

"Good morning Miss Weasley, is your mother around? I would like to speak to her if that isn't too much trouble." The pale woman said in a fragile voice. Nacrissa gave a weak tired smile to Ginny that she tried to return with out showing her excitement and curiosity.

"MUUUM IT'S uumm..." Ginny stuttered. She turned back to face the tired woman.

"Miss Black dear tell her it's Miss Black......Oh hi Molly." Narcissa said softly. Molly had walked up behind Ginny with a tea towel in her hand. She immediately dropped it to the ground and went to hug Narcissa.

"Narcissa it finally happened didn't it dear, your finally away from that...that."

"That monster. "Nacrissa finished in a sharp tone. Molly rushed her into the house and sat her down at the dining table.

"Gin please be a dear and make Miss Black some tea." Molly requested warmly. Ginny just nodded and went behind the kitchen bench in deep thought. 'That means that Miss Black had divorced that asshole Death Eater Malfoy. And her last name is Black hence meaning she is related to Sirius......Sirius why'd he have to be the one to go. This would also mean that she probably knew James and Lily Potter or at least knew about them from Sirius.'

She remembered looking at and reading the Black family tree at her time staying at Grimwald place. They had came back when Voldemort no longer possessed any threat to the Weasley's.

"Miss Weasley are you still with us?" A soft voice said snapping her back to life. Ginny looked up to see Miss Black standing on the other side of the kitchen bench. Her mother had gotten out of the room probably to inform the others. Ginny gave a small smile.

"Everybody calls me Ginny or Gin, no need for a proper addressal's Miss Black." Ginny insisted as nicely as she could. Narcissa's smile grew. 'I wonder if Malfoy smiled he would just like his mother, he does take on her steel grey eyes and.....wait shut up about Malfoy it was just a spur of the moment kiss must be the lack of school.'

"Ginny your thinking to much and your going to spill the tea everywhere, oh and you can just call me Narcissa then." She exclaimed. Ginny jumped and put the tea cup down before spilling some and let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry Narcissa it's just that it is a bit of a surprise that you came here." Ginny explained. She gave Narcissa a lop-sided smile hoping that would be enough to make the situation a little bit less awkward. Narcissa gave a soft laugh and started to explain her situation in a serious tone.

"Well I suppose I'll tell you the story from the beginning, it might clear up some of your questions. It all started at school ofcourse and I was naturally sorted in Slytherin because of my liniage and such."

"But then why was Sirius sorted in Gryffindor and not Slytherin like you?" Ginny questioned. Narcissa was silent in deep thought about it for a few moments before she started to talk again.

"Well I suppose he really wanted to be in Gryffindor and if I know my cousin he was the rebellious sort especially around his gang. Any way I knew Lucius Malfoy and Tom Riddle." Narcissa continued, Ginny had flinched at the thought of Tom. "When I met them that's when my life turned downhill. I found out my parents knew Lucius and his parents and thought he and I would make a perfect match and so they got us betrothed. Lucius was over the moon about it but I wasn't and so I started to resent Slytherin and befriended other house members. I envied the way Sirius had the time of his life in Gryffindor and that's when I met your mother and we soon became friends, good friends actually."

Ginny nodded in consideration and took all of this information in thinking it over. It did fit in all together but Ginny was surprised that her mother hadn't brought this up before.

"So what happened at the end?" Ginny asked. i 'Nice question it's pretty obvious Gin' /i

"Well after my 6th year I was banned from befriended anybody of our Slytherin and so your mother and I kind of broke contact with each other and-" Before she got to finish the door flew open and all the red headed family brigade came, Harry and Hermione. The room was soon filled with buzzing excitement and questions were being shouted.

"You were friends with a Weasley? but I thought you resented us?"

"So your staying with us for the summer holidays?"

"Do you have any gossip on Malfoy?"

"BOYS BOYS SETTLE DOWN." Molly shouted coming into the room. "Let the woman breathe!" The whole room went silent and soon the excitement dyed down. Narcissa slowly sipped on her tea with her eyebrows scrunched up in concentration. Harry's soft voice was the one to break the silence.

"You knew my godfather Sirius didn't you, he was your cousin." This time the room froze and everyone drew in their breaths. Harry NEVER talked about his death and nobody did around him and nobody wanted to all together. Narcissa put her glass down and thought about what to say.

"Yes I did know your godfather, my cousin and I can I feel the same way you do Harry, nobody wanted him to be the one to go." She said in an equally soft voice.

"Why don't we all go in the lounge and have proper chat sound good to you Narcissa?" Molly asked trying to ease the situation. Harry's face was unreadable. Narcissa's face went still then she shook her head.

"I must owl my son I promised myself and him that I would, may I borrow an owl?" Narcissa asked sternly. Molly nodded hushed everybody into the lounge again. She gave a look at Ginny and she understood.

"I'll take you Narcissa we have a useless owl called Pig hopefully he'll make the journey."Ginny explained. Narcissa gave her another smile and then both ladies walked off to find the little owl. They walked in silence, their shuffling footsteps were loud to them. They ended up in Ginny's room where they found Pig happily sleeping on her bed. Ginny sat in silence as Narcissa scribbled down on the piece of parchment anxiously. The elderly woman took her wand out and muttered something to the parchment. As soon as they sent Pig off the Narcissa broke the silence with a "Thank you".

"Look Ginny I don't bite don't worry just because "Malfoy" used to be my last name doesn't mean I'm going to set Tom Riddle on you." Narcissa snapped in a harsh tone. Ginny was wide eyed, she collapsed on her bed with her hand over her chest. 'That, that dream it was Tom Riddle!!'

"Why so you call him that? why not He-who-must-not-be-named?" Ginny questioned giving her a funny look. Narcissa rolled her eyes. 'How many personalities does this woman have.'

"Well that is his name isn't it? He doesn't deserve to be feared or respected, you can be evil to a point but crossing it isn't very respectable." Narcissa exclaimed. Ginny nodded at this and smiled.

"You know you make a good point." Ginny pointed out.

"Of course I'm Narcissa Black aren't I. You know it feels good to be free again." Narcissa sighed. Ginny didn't know how to take that so she just kept quiet thinking about the queer dream she had.

Molly walked in with a warm smile on. All three of them walked into the cozy lounge where everyone was seated. It was still morning and there was alot to talk about. Harry asked lots of questions about Sirius but Ginny just sat in silence sometimes getting lost in a world of her own. Her head pricked up when she heard her name being mentioned in a conversation.

"Hmm who said my name?" She asked.

"We just told Narcissa about your Quiditch talents." Bill answered. 'yes the whooole family knows lets tell the person who walked into our lives an hour ago.' Ginny smiled bitterly and tried to think up of an excuse to leave the room. She looked down at what she was wearing. She was still dressed in her PJs which were simply a pair of shorts and light t-shirt. Ginny quietly stood and slid past crowd of excitement.

Ginny spent the rest of the day up in her room doing whatever things she could do away from the hustle and bussle of the rest of the house. She finished off summer homework and sketched a bit. Yes Ginny Weasley liked to sketch since she was such a quiet person most of the time, she loved the hobby. She like to sketch scenery and spent many occasions just sitting outside drawing random things. She wasn't the best at drawing but she kept improving which kept her spirits up. She kept them all a secret, she didn't like much people looking at them. Ginny doesn't like to be praised it makes her feel uneasy.

Later that night she had gotten a letter from Pig and with him was a black eagle with a brown feathered head. It was fairly big and stood with much poise like a king. There was a letter with the eagle aswell. They were both unnamed and so Ginny guessed they were from Draco. She untied both to read, I mean she had the right since the letters were in HER room. She opened up the one from Pig first.

Weaslette I know it's you reading this but that's not the point. Your thing or owl, whatever you want to call it nearly got me caught out so NEVER, EVER use it AGAIN and that's why my eagle Ifrit has been sent to do the job now. The letter that he has is to be given to my mother with out opening it because you won't understand whats on the parchment. There isn't much else to say and I hope your bright enough to know that it is Draco Malfoy.

'Short and bitter.' Was all that came to Ginny's mind as she went to give the letter to Narcissa.

END OF FLASH BACK

And so it was the the third morning with Narcissa and Ginny had to say that she wasn't that bad. She was bitter at times but she had been married to Lucius for all that time so she wasn't to blame. Ginny was surprised everytime she talked to her. She had a Motherly personality at times which reminded her of her mother. Narcissa didn't dislike Ginny either by the looks of it, she always had a warm smile on everytime she talked to Ginny. She also like most of the family even though the golden trio were cautious.

Ginny took the letter and went down stairs to see if anyone was awake. In the lounge was Narcissa sitting down wrapped up in her blanket in deep thought.

"Good morning Narcissa. "Ginny said trying to get her attention. She looked up and put on the warm smile that she has on everytime.

"Good morning, I see my son has sent another owl. "She greeted looking at the letter in Ginny's hand. She nodded and handed it over to Narcissa and went to sit down in the arm chair. Narcissa took out her wand and tapped the parchment. After whispering the words her eyes were scanning through the letter. When she had finished she gave a slow nod and the parchment was engulfed with a soft blue flame that deteriorated it.

"I think today would be a good time to go to Diagon Ally don't you think Ginny. "Narcissa exclaimed. Ginny grinned and nodded.

"I think that would be a great, I've been meaning to go."
