Authors Note: Hey guys. I'm sorry to say that on Saturday, which I think is the 14th. It's for a week but I'll try really hard to write while I'm gone. I don't own any of the characters or anything like that, so please don't sue me.

As Ginny walked into the Great Hall, she was surprised at how quickly it had been prepared for the students. Four long tables had taken the place of the several small tables. Hanging above each table was the coat of arms that represented each house.

Absent mindedly, Ginny headed toward the Gryffindor table. "How'd you know which table was Gryffindor's? Remus asked. "You didn't even look at the banners."

Ginny cursed herself under her breath. "Damn Gin, You've got to be more careful," she muttered. "I don't know. Woman's' intuition maybe?" Remus laughed and sat down next to Ginny who had already started to pile pancakes onto her plate

The rest of their meal, which existed of pancakes, eggs, waffles and bacon, went by slowly and quietly. "Geesh woman," Remus exclaimed as Ginny piled two more pancakes onto her plate. "That's going to be you're sixth pancake!"

"Eighth and ninth actually," Ginny smirked as she dug in for the eighth time. When Ginny had polished off her last two pancakes and declared that she was done, Remus stood up. "Let's go get some floo powder from Professor Dumbledore." Ginny nodded in agreement and looked up at him. For a moment they held each other's gaze.

"We should get going," Ginny said abruptly breaking both their gaze and the silence.

"You're right," Remus agreed quickly as the two left the Great Hall and headed toward Dumbledore's office. When they got to the stone gargoyle Remus said the password and they headed up to the lushes office where Dumbledore sat waiting for them.

"Come on in" their headmaster replied distractedly as he heard their knock. "What is it I can do for you?"

"We came to borrow some floo powder Professor. So I can go to Diagon Alley and buy some new robes and books," Ginny explained.

"Ah yes," Dumbledore smiled. "The floo powder is over by the fireplace," he said pointing to its general direction.

Ginny walked over to the fireplace, stopped, and turned around. "Uh, Professor?"

"Yes Ginny."

"I don't have any money," she blushed.

"Ah, Yes," Dumbledore said as he pull out a small brown pouch out of one of the many drawers in his desk.

"Thank you."

"No problem, and you may keep what's inside. It may come in handy." Dumbledore smiled.

Ginny walked back to the fireplace and took a handful of floo powder. "Diagon Alley!" she called out and soon she had disappeared in green flames. A second later, Remus had done the same.

Diagon Alley was just as Ginny had thought it would be like. The streets were filled with witches and wizards walking in and out of stores buying everything from The Great Beasts of the North by Norman Skettlemyer to Dragon Livers and Bertie Bots Every flavor jelly beans.

Ginny covered her eyes from the blazing sun as she turned to the nearest shop. Cauldrons-All sizes-Copper, Brass, Pewter, Silver-Self stirring-Collapsible, said a sign hanging over a stack of cauldrons. "I guess I'll be needing to buy everything," she sighed. "Just like I was a first year."

"It won't be that bad," Remus assured her. "By the way, how much money did he give you?

Ginny opened the small but heavy pouch. "Bloody Hell!" Ginny exclaimed as she pull out a handful of galleons and sickles. "I've never seen this much money in my life! It's like it never runs out!"

Remus leaned over her shoulder to look into the pouch. 'Too close! He's WAY too close!' Ginny's head screamed. Wow, that is a hell of a lot of money!" Ginny nodded still mesmerized by how many gold and silver coins there were. "Well, we'd better be off. We've got quite a bit of shopping to do. Again Ginny just nodded as the two of them headed for the cauldron shop. When they came out again she had a shiny new self-stirring copper cauldron. Next they headed to Eeylops Owl Emporium and bought a snowy owl, which she named Seryan. When they got back outside, the sun had disappeared behind what looked like a rain cloud and many of the wizards that had once walked the streets were now gone. Ginny and Remus stood outside the front door to Eeylops listening to the soft hoots from the owls.

In both Ginny and Remus's mind, silence was good. That way, no one could say anything that they would later regret. In Remus's mind, she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Her vibrant red hair that hung close to her middle back took his breath away, yet he couldn't figure out why. Her eyes were a dull bluish green, which he thought were the most beautiful things in the world. But little did he know, that those once dull blue eyes were bright and cheerful. They were eyes that once could light up a room, but now they were not. They were sad, and dull, as if she knew more than she should about a horror. Maybe that was why he was attracted to her. She was so different from any of the other girls. The only way Remus could describe her was mysterious and wiser beyond her years.

Ginny, on the other hand knew, she knew all about him. How he had become a werewolf, how his father had left, and how hard it was for him to live a life as a social outcast. It was on one of the many nights that Ginny had spent talking to him at Sirius's House, the name in which he called it, because he could never feel at home there, he told her about his life's story and she told him about hers. It was at that point she knew she loved him, yet, how could she tell him? He was twenty or so years older than her... but those eyes... How they sparkled when he was happy, which wasn't very often, and how they seemed to feel everyone's pain and sorrow. He was just plain sexy. There was no other way to describe his incredibly toned body, even though he was close to forty, or the way his light brown hair hung in his face. Or how he would always smile at you when you achieved a good mark on your test. She could go on forever, but in the bottom of her heart she knew that it, they could never happen, or could it? Maybe she could use this, being stuck in the sixties, or whatever year it was, to her advantage. Just maybe...

A loud squawk came from behind them, which caused them to jump, and turn around. A large Barn Owl's cage had just fallen from its hanging place on the wall. "Damn Kids!" An angry gruff voice called from inside the shop, followed by footsteps that were heading toward the door.

"We've got to get out of here! Quickly!" Remus exclaimed as he started to sprint to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions. Once inside, Ginny and Remus stopped to catch their breath. All of a sudden they heard two boys yelling at each other.

"I can't believe I have to buy new robes! Mum was about to kill me; until Dad told her I should pay for them! It's all YOUR fault!" one of them yelled loudly.

"Hey it's not my fault the bloody dungbomb went off in your hands!" the second one argued back.

"Uh oh," Remus sighed. "This can't be good." Remus headed off toward the two boys leaving Ginny to follow him. When he got to the two boys they stopped yelling and turned toward him.

"Hey ya Moony," the boy who had started the argument replied coolly.

"Hi, Prongs, Padfoot. What happened?"

"He gave me a dungbomb that had been tampered with!" the one called Prongs whined.

"I did not!" Padfoot returned as he turned and looked at Ginny. "Who's that?" he asked pointing towards her.

"It's not nice to point, so if you would like to know my name then put that finger down now." Ginny replied as coolly as James had. Sirius lowered his finger slowly looking at her a bit intimidated. Never, in his lifetime had any girl ever spoken to him like that.

"Feisty one, that one is," James laughed as he saw the look on his best friends face.

Ginny ignored James's last comment and continued. "My names Ginny."

"Ja-," James started but he didn't have any time to finish, for Ginny had already cut him off.

"James Potter, and Sirius Black, I know."

"Yeah, how did yo-"Remus started but soon the three kids were interrupted again, this time by another red head with wild emerald green eyes and a golden locket.

"Hey Potter, Your shower broken or something?" she asked icily as everyone, except James started to laugh.

"Actually, a dungbomb went off on him," Ginny put in.

"Well, he got what he deserved. By the way, my names Lilly. Lilly Evans."

"Ginny Weasley, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Weasley?" James questioned.

"Wasn't there an Arthur Weasley that graduated a few years ago?" Sirius asked finishing James's question. "Are you related to him?"

'Shit, I didn't think they'd know Dad!' Umm, I don't think so, but then again he could be my long lost fifth cousin."

"Oh,"

"Well, we've got to get to Flourish and Blotts, Remus replied quickly.

"Not a nice place for a date, now Remus. Are you even sure that she likes to read?" James teased and Lilly punched him. "Ouch!" he groaned as he rubbed his shoulder.

"It's to get her school books. She's transferring from Durmstrang, you know."

"That's cool, I've never been to Durmstrang before. You'll have to tell me about it some time."

'Well that makes two of us,' "Sure,"

"How bout you meet us at the Three Broomsticks, say in a half hour,"

"I'd love to Lilly. Remus?"

"Sure,"

"Good, half hour it is, but now I have to leave you, the two big headed freaks, and no I didn't forget you Moony, and go get a new cauldron. Mines leaking like crazy and I can't figure out how to stop it." She said quickly walking out the door.

Remus and Ginny left Sirius who was trying to get James out of what he called the "I love Lilly" trance and went to Flourish and Blotts. Twenty minutes later,Ginny and Remus came out with two high stacks of books, most of which neither of them needed. "So, I guess James was wrong. You do like to read." Remus said shyly, wondering why it was so hard to make small talk.

"Like to? I love to read. I've read Hogwarts: A history about 5 times, and well, I just love to read."

"Me too,"

"Well, let's get to the Three Broomsticks. We don't want to be late now do we?"

"No we don't," Remus agreed as he led the way to the pub.

When they got there, Ginny saw James and Sirius sitting in a booth near one of the back windows and went to sit with them, and this time Remus was left to follow. A few minutes later Lilly walked in soaking wet from the rain that was now pouring down and hitting the windows leaving a forceful sound. James was the first one to see her and he looked like he was in heaven. She shook her head and headed toward the booth where the four kids sat. There she took a seat next to Ginny. As the five of them sat together in the crowded booth drinking butterbeers, they shared school stories and expressed their feelings about starting school again next week.

For the first time, sitting there with her newfound friends, Ginny felt excepted. Yes, she did have her own friends, but not many. She figured it was because she hung around Remus so much, and who would want to be friends with a girl who hung around with a werewolf? But these, they hardly knew her, let alone her many secrets, yet they still accepted her and wanted to be her friend.

Sighing to herself, she rested her head on Remus's shoulder. He flinched, but didn't move away, and that made her even happier.
