A/N Hello again. Putting up a new chapter sooner than I expected. Hope you like. I don't own anything.
"I'll leave you two alone, so you can get to know each other a little more, alright," said Dumbledore.
"Okay," Ladon and Ginny responded at the same time.
"You want to go first, Ladon?"
"Sure. Umm where to start."
"How 'bout at the beginning," Ginny said cheekily looking in no particular direction.
"Fine. I'm 21 years old. My name is obliviously Ladon Ethelinde. My parents were killed when I was ten. I was taken under the Headmaster of Durmstang's wing so I went there. After I graduated I traveled all over the world, till I came back to London where I grew up and began to work here. Any questions?"
"Yes"
"Shoot"
"Any siblings?"
"Nope, I'm the lone Ethelinde. No relatives. No cousins. Nothing."
"Fine. Now how did you get the job with Albus if you went to Durmstang?"
"Simple. The Headmaster from Durmstang was good friends with Dumbledore, so since Headmaster was technically my caregiver, whenever he visited Hogwarts or Dumbledore visited Durmstang, I would tag along."
"I see"
"Now a little about yourself," Ladon said.
"Alright. I'm 20 years old. My name is obliviously Ginny Weasley. I went to Hogwarts. I hav... had 6 older brother, no sisters. After I graduated I just putzed around the Ministry doing odd jobs till Fudge was fired and Dumbledore hired who in turn hired me. Any questions?"
"Well, actually. I do have...," Ladon started.
"Wait, before you finish, absolutely no questions on what happened and/or how I got this way. I'm just not ready to talk about it. Fair?"
"Fair"
Ginny couldn't believe how kind this guy was. Like Albus, he didn't treat her like an idiot that couldn't do anything just because she was blind. He treated her like an equal. She figured that he would make the perfect assistant.
"Now ask away."
"What is your real name?"
"Usually people think its Virginia or just plain Ginny, but it's actually Ginerva."
"Ginerva," Ladon murmured, "white as foam."
"What did you say," Ginny exclaimed.
"Oh. Just what "Ginerva" means. White as foam."
"Yeah. My mom told me that once. I thought it was strange," Ginny answered truthfully
"Well, true, but if you think about it, it's sort of like Aphrodite- you know coming from the sea foam."
"Wow! I never really thought of it like that. But now that you know my name meaning what about yours?"
"Okay. Ladon means dragon and my last name- Ethelinde means noble serpent."
"Mmm. That's interesting."
"Yeah, I guess," conceded Ladon.
A/N Like it? Hopefully. Once again I have no idea when the next chapter will be up. Remember to review.
