A/N: Hey, I'm back, but sadly I won't be for long. I'm going away for camp this sunday, so I'm going to try to put up another chapter before I go. Also, I've made a note to myself not to keep logged on all the time because my little sister Mel, put up something that really shouldn't have been put up. I don't own any of this, except the plot, well, not even that, so don't sue me. Enjoy and R/R.
Dinner was painful, no, torture really. The whole time, Ginny could not stop thinking about Remus. He was so cute, and the way his hair fell in his eyes, well that could make any girl fall off her chair. In fact, Ginny had already fell twice so far, and it was only the beginning of dessert!
"Are you alright?" Remus asked when she fell off her chair for the third time that night. Ginny didn't answer. Instead she sat where she was and stared at the wall.
"Ginny?"
"Aye-R-geh?" Ginny questioned. 'Shit, I can't even talk right. This is bad, real bad," Her head screamed.
"Gin?" Remus asked again as he bent down to help her back onto her chair. As he pull Ginny up, her legs buckled, and she started to fall backward into Remus's arms.
Startled by the sudden change in weight, Remus grabbed the closest thing to him. A milky white tablecloth, covered with dishes of cakes, and pies. Soon, the change of weight caused the tablecloth to give way and Remus, fell backwards onto the hard wooden floor, with Ginny in his left arm and the tablecloth grasped firmly in his right had. 'Dammit! Ginny must think I'm a klutz now!' Remus cursed himself as he lie on the cold floor.
The smack of flesh hitting the floor caused all of the dishes to start careening off the table and onto their laps. The sound of broken dishes had made all of the professors' turn around and when they saw Ginny and Remus on the floor covered in food, they stared.
The silence that filled the Great Hall was not broken until Dumbledore stood up, in his purple robes and gold rimmed moon shaped glasses, and clapped his hands twice. "Mr. Lupin, please take Miss Weasley up to the Gryffindor common room where you both can get changed." Remus, who had just gotten Ginny to her feet nodded.
"This way," Remus mumbled as he took her by the hand and led her up to the sixth floor. When they got up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, who wasn't as fat as Ginny remembered, she said," Hello Remus, dear, what in the world happened to you?"
"Oh, just a little accident," Remus laughed, but in his eyes, Ginny could see that he didn't want to talk about it.
"I should think so," The portrait smiled as she swung open and allowed them to enter.
When she had gone on the tour earlier that day, Remus hadn't taken her into the common room, he had just shown her where it was. Now that she was walking inside, Ginny didn't noticed that much of a difference between the future and the past, or was it the future and the present? She didn't know. It hurt her brain to think about it too much and so she stopped and scanned the room. It was still a dark red wine color with gold trim. On the middle of the left wall was the stairs that led to the entrance to the boys dormitories and in the center of the left wall was the golden fireplace. Behind that, hidden in the corner was the staircase that that took you to the girls dormitory. In front of the fireplace there was a small round three legged table and on top of that was a set of Wizard's Chess. Underneath the table was a throw rug, and to the sides were too small chairs that matched the walls. In the center of the room there were two couches, both the same color. And in between them was an old coffee table. Over in the far left-hand corner there was a chair and next to that chair was a small end table. A few feet to the right of the chair, was a long horizontal table that was surrounded by chairs.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Remus asked as he watched Ginny scan the room.
"Just Like I remember it to be," Ginny sighed, wishing she was back with her friends and family. "Just like you remember?" Remus asked suspiciously.
"Well, what I remember from what my dad told me about it. He used to go here when he was younger."
"Your dad when here? Wow, what's his name?"
'Shit! Now you've done it!' "Well, my mum and dad got a divorce and my mum doesn't really talk much about him. All she told me was that he was a pain in the ass and that he attended Hogwarts. Well, she told me a little bit more, but whenever I asked his name she'd say she didn't want to tell me, just incase I ever met him, I wouldn't know who he was," Ginny lied. She hated lying to him, but that's what she had to do in order to survive.
"Oh," Remus replied solemnly. "Well, I'm going to go change. I'll be back down in a second. He told her as he hurried off to the stairs.
"Um, Remus," Ginny asked shyly.
"Yeah?"
"I don't have any clothes. My trunk was stolen by some people on the platform and..."
"No, problem," Remus laughed for no reason. "The only thing is, is that my stuff is probably too big for you, but I'll see what I can find. And then, tomorrow, we can go to Diagon Alley and pick you up some new clothes and books. Okay?" Remus rambled.
"That sounds good. And don't worry about the size. I've got six older brothers, so I'm used to things not fitting." Ginny frowned as she thought of her hand me downs.
As Remus ran up the stairs, something Ginny had told him stuck in his mind. 'Six brothers, six brothers,' he repeated to himself. 'Who do I know who has six brothers?'
