MUCH better... keep it up on the reviews... Glad you felt like "She's ending it there???" Okay, so on with chapter 4!
Chapter 4: Tonks: Dedication: All my reviewers who revied since the last chapter. It really means a lot to me. If you have never ever written a story, you wouldn't know how good it feels to get a good review. And next dedication will be to whoever invites me to join a C2 community. (Shamelessly hinting.)
This is longer than the other chapters, so enjoy, and tell me if I need to improve on anything.
I was dying to put this up. It was over a while ago, and as soon as I got a review from The Soaring Falcon, I put it up. Tell me if I need to improve on anything, and take a look at my C2 Community.
"Tonks!" Ginny gave her a great big hug and stepped back to look at her. It had been more than a year since she last saw her, and Tonks looked different. She didn't have the carefree eyes she used too have... she seemed...older...different.
Tonks too, must have been looking Ginny over, because she said, "You have grown so much!"
Ginny smiled. It was great to see Tonks again. "So," she began , "What's with the oh so elegant entrance?
Tonks looked down, "I'm not really supposed to be here with the exams going on," she paused as if looking for the right words, "I just wanted to tell you..." Her voice trailed off.
Ginny immediately knew something was up. What a great observation, right. It should be an inspiration for detectives everywhere. Just so that you know, this bold faced print is stupid me rambling. It's Saturday 9 in the night as I right this...And I'm listening to Come Clean on the radio. It's nothing compared to 'Let's get it Started', chants go BlackEyed Peas! , but those two songs aren't compatible anyways...
Make a note about the financial problems, and as for Tonks, I know what she did last summer. Now, I'm gonna shut up and go on with the story.
"It's about Mom and Dad, right?" she looked at Tonks hard , "Does Dad still have the job?"
Ginny knew that her family was having some problems with the Ministry. Percy was still mad at the family, (for what, though...being right?)", and that didn't help there appearance. Fudge still wasn't going to cope with Mr. Weasley. He probably would have been fired after Last June, if it weren't for Dumbledore.
"Know, it's not that, he's still got it," Ginny breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing." Tonks smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. "I'm coming back to the community, for good."
"Oh that's great, but why did you leave?" Ginny asked, "What happened?"
"It happened last summer, (Ginny: What happened last summer?), I just couldn't cope," Tonks shook her head, "I just knew, I can't run away from it."
"Can't run away from what?" Ginny was itching to ask, but she could tell Tonks didn't wan't to talk about it.
"So like I said, You didn't think to tell Auntie Tonks that you were becoming a singer?" Tonks asked.
Ginny stared. "TELL YOU?" she quickly lowered her voice as Tonk's gaze darted outside, "How in the world was I supposed to tell you?"
"Well, I can't argue with that," Tonks said grinning ever so slightly.
"And it's not going pop. We just sing and do whatever we want to, and how did you know?" Tonks raised an eyebrow.
"Who do you think it was who sent you the confirmation sheet?" Tonks pointed both her thumbs to herself. "Little old Moi."
"Oh yeah..." Ginny had gotten the form on that Christmas a few months ago.
Now, let's go back to that Christmas everyone. Time for a flash back! :
The Weasley family minus Percy, Harry, and Lupin were spending Christmas in the Burrow for the first time that year. (Hermione was with her parents.)
It was a hard time for the Weasleys, harder than usual in the money life but everyone was laughing, talking and hugs and kisses were in the air. Ginny had gotten a box of Droobles best blowing gum, and a sweater from her family. Fred and George gave her a couple extendable ears which Ginny graciously accepted, though she wasn't sure where she would use it. Harry had given her a something he called a CD player. They were hanging out and talking about music. She figured that was where he got the idea. It didn't work at Hogwarts and couple other places, but she could use it in the burrow. Hermione's gift to Ginny was a Quick Quotes Quill. Lupin gave her a set of books about handy spells to clean up her room and other stuff like that.
She was putting her gifts away when Mrs. Weasley came up to her. She looked at Ginny with a helpless expression. "I know it's not much, the sweater-"
"Mom!" Ginny jumped up and held her mothers hands in hers. They were the hands of a hard working woman, "This is the best Christmas ever! Us, at the burrow." Mrs. Weasley just shook her head, her head bent low, "Really Mom."
After a while, Molly seemed to almost lose her tears, and Ginny went over to Harry and Ron.
"You staying home for the rest of the day?" she asked.
"Er, no," Ron said.
"We're going out to the Holiday Season Village," Harry said.
"Oh..." Ginny said. She hoped Ron realized that he couldn't get anything.
"Wanna come?" Harry asked. He smiled, and Ginny knew that he wasn't asking to be nice. She would've said yes if she didn't notice Ron glaring daggers at Harry who didn't seem to notice.
"That's okay," she said, "Have a good time!"
Ginny went upstairs to her room, carrying her presents. She found a letter addressed to her.
Dear Ginny,
I thought that this might interest you. I sent one to Alex and I know that she will be there.
With love,
Tonks
Attached was a flyer telling about the record deal. It was for that day, and ended in 3 hours.
She ran downstairs. "Ron!" It took place in the Holiday Season Village, and she needed a ride there. She supposed that they were taking a car, since their flew network was out and they didn't have any brooms at the time being.
She arrived there right when the car was driving away, too far for to see Harry and Ron in there, but it looked like there were about 6 people in the car. She wanted to give her parents a chance to relax, so she took her own broom, (she had hers, even though they didn't have theirs), and went outside.
She knew the way to go, without being spotted by muggles, but it was hard and Ginny hadn't used in a while.
She took her broom out and stared at the sky overhead. It was gray, but the excitement of what she was going to go for made it glow. She took a deep breath, and kicked off from the ground. It was a wonderful feeling, a feeling that she hadn't felt in ages. She dropped off the quidditch team at the beginning of the year, since she couldn't juggle that and Professor Slyvie's voice lessons, wich she had been getting since the beginning of her 3rd year.
She was entering an area of forest with many trees, with there leaves off. Still, the evergreens under her were fairly green, and she could hear the faint sound of a stream. She kept on flying, and slowly, another sound, a guy's voice was there.
It wasn't very deep or rich, but it was good enough. She lowered her elevation, and kept on flying, till she could hear the voice very clearly.
End of Flashback, for this chappie but I'm gonna continue it next chapter, so we're back in the girl's dorms, But only mentally, okay guys.
"Yeah, that was probably the best thing that happened to me," Ginny gave Tonks another hug as she started getting out of the window, "Bye."
"Yeah, cya darlin'," she winked and Ginny saw a bit of life from the old Tonks. "Wotcher Ginny," she said. And the she jumped out.
It's not a cliffhanger, but remember the flash back. Don't you wanna know who the singer dude is? I'm gonna wiggle a song into the next chapter. Not sure wich though. Hey, you know the song Ocean Avenue? I was listening to it very carefully and in the part where he talks about letting the girl go, I felt like crying... I know I'm weird.
And REVIEW if you want the next chapter. You don't want the same thing that happened last chapter with the major cliffy again do you? I need 5 more before I put it up. I have reviews from 9 different people, so 5 reviews for another chapter isn't a lot, right? But I'm losing my non registered users... I wish you guys would review more! Till next time,
Thepunkprincess
