Ginny was never one to cry and when she did, you knew it was for a good reason. As Ginny clung to the woman next to her, a sharp pain filled her heart. Pulling away from Remus's mother, Ginny closed her eyes and cleared all thoughts out of her head. As she sat there, not speaking, nor breathing, Ginny came to a conclusion. She was going to have to be strong for this woman. Pulling her into a hug, Ginny rested her head onto her shoulder. "It's going to be alright. Everything is going to be fine.
Little did she know though, Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore were standing right outside the Hospital Wing.
"Everything is not alright! How could they be gone?" a harsh whisper from McGonagall came through the door.
"I don't know myself, Minerva. I just don't know."
Hearing those words come from the headmaster's mouth, gave Ginny the chills. How could he not know what was happening? He was the headmaster! He knew everything. As Ginny thought about this, a voice interrupted her. "What's happening?" she whispered. "Why are you doing this to me?" Turning around, Ginny saw Remus's mum standing, arms wide open, staring at the ceiling. Standing up, Ginny moved toward her, but Mrs. Lupin stopped her. "Who are you? What have you done!?" she cried aloud.
At the sound of the outburst, the door opened to reveal both Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. As Dumbledore walked past Ginny and over to Mrs. Lupin, he put his hand on her shoulder and led her to an empty chair. McGonagall, on the other hand started to make her way to Ginny. As she came closer, Ginny dropped to the floor, covering her ears.
As Ginny lie on the floor, visions and voices filled her head. "Your Kingdom will fall, little one. Come to me, join your friend on the journey!"
"Don't Listen to him!" Ginny then heard. This new voice was coming from Remus.
"REMUS!?" Ginny cried out. Everyone around her stared.
"Silly boy, doesn't know what's best for him," the voice laughed. "Come to me. I will teach you, train you, empty your mind."
Another new voice. "Gin! Don't listen to him...." Lily cried as her voice trailed off.
"Stop! Let 'em go!" Ginny cried, now rolling around on the floor, her red hair flailing around her.
Now, she heard softer voices. Further away voices. "We've got to pick her up," Dumbledore said.
Confused and not knowing what to believe, Ginny willed herself to where Remus and the others did not want her to go.
Opening her eyes, she couldn't see much, but she heard someone. "Bloody hell, Gin. We told you not to come here," It was James Potter.
"Shut up, FOOL!" the voice roared as he telekinetically threw James into a nearby wall. "Your kingdom has just fallen, Ariadne, or shall I say Princess Ariadne."
Confused, Ginny sat up and took in her surroundings. She was in what seemed to be the dungeon of an Ancient castle. Looking around her, she also could see the extremely baffled looks of her new friends. As if by instinct, Ginny spoke. "Only you of all people Typhon, would do such a thing." The demon laughed, turned and left the dark, musty chamber.
Once Typhon was gone, James got back up off the ground and sat by his friends. "So, you're a princess, then." James said in discust.
Before Ginny could answer, Lily spoke up. "Give her a chance to explain herself."
"Why should we?" Remus retorted. "She lied and that's the end of it,"
"Will you at least give me a chance?" Ginny pleaded, but no one listened to her. Slowly, Ginny stood up and walked to the back corner of the dungeon. Wiping away the cobwebs, she sat down and conjured up a blanket from thin air. For a moment, Ginny wondered how she did it, but after she thought about it, she didn't really care. Curling up with her blanket, Ginny fell asleep, while everyone else watched her, whispering.
Ginny woke from her sleep with a start. Wiping the sweat from her face, she sat up breathing hard. "What a nightmare," she sighed looking around. What she saw, brought worry to her face as a thought came to her. "It wasn't a dream after all."
Getting up, Ginny made a round to each of her friends, or atleast she still hoped they were friends. Conjuring up a blanket for each of them, Ginny lay it on them softly. When she came to James, she was surprised to see that he was awake. "I don't want one," he grumbled
Ginny nodded and left it next to him. Then she retreated back to her corner. "I'm really sorry. I had absolutely had no idea whatsoever."
James snorted. "Yeah, right. How could you NOT know you're a princess?"
"I haven't been completely honest with you."
"No shit Sherlock."
"I didn't even think Muggles knew who Sherlock was."
"Most don't. I read."
"Me too. Listen, I'm not who you think I am. I'm not Ginny Weasley the Third and I'm defiantly not a Princess." Ginny waited for a response and when none came, she continued on. "First of all, there is only one Ginny Weasley, and that's me. Ginerva Molly Weasley and I'm from the future."
At the statement, James's head popped up. "What?"
"My name's Ginerva Molly Weasley and I'm from the future.1996 to be exact. I can't tell you much about it but you do have a wonderful son, named Harry, who is an exceptional wizard. Back in your time, Remus is lying in what I think Muggles call a coma . He's unresponsive and Professor Dumbledore doesn't know if he'll ever wake again."
A look of worry appeared on James's face. "How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"I know you're one of the Marauders. Your nickname is Prongs, because your animgagi form is a stag. Remus's nickname is Moony because he's a werewolf, Sirius's name is Padfoot, because he turns into a dog, and Peter, your other friend's nickname is Wormtail, whom turns into a rat. You have a huge crush on Lily and you've got an Invisibility Cloak that makes it's way to your son."
"What about you?" James asked. "Why is he calling you Princess if you're not a princess?"
"Listen, in my time, my father, Arthur Weasley, heads the Muggle Dept. of the Ministry of Magic. We don't have much money and having 6 brothers doesn't help. I'm a sixth year and I'm good friends with Harry, whom is good friends with my brother Ron. I'm the furthest thing from a princess that could possibly be. I have absolutely no idea what is going on, other than I'm here and I don't know how to get out."
James nodded. "I believe you, but will the others."
"I don't know. You could persuade them though."
Again, James nodded. "Out of curiosity, what's with you and Moony?" Smiling and Blushing, Ginny lowered her head below the blanket. "There's nothing wrong with liking him you know. He's a good guy.... Or is it because he's a werewolf?"
Ginny's head popped out from under the blanket. "Of course NOT!" Ginny said outraged.
"Calm down, Gin. Its just most people despise werewolves."
"I know. It's just... In the future... He's kind of my Defense Against the Dark Art's Professor."
James laughed loudly. "Ginny, Ginny, Ginny," he shook his head.
"Shut up! You're gunna wake everyone up!" Ginny whispered as she conjured a SpongeBob doll and threw it at him.
"You're right, "he smiled. "But where did you get this thing?"
Ginny shook her head. "It's a Muggle toy."
At that, they both laughed and fell asleep.
Upon waking, Lily noticed James was cuddled up with something. Not knowing what it was, she went over to him and poked him in the head. Moaning, James rolled around pulling Spongebob closer to him. "Aww, what a cute little baby boy," Lily laughed sarcastically. "So cute when he's not being a bigheaded git!" For unknown reasons, Lily squeezed herself in between James and his beloved SpongeBob doll.
