"Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ronald, your letters are in!"

Harry lifted his envelope from Mrs. Weasley's hand, only to nearly drop it. It was extremely heavy. He opened it and two badges fell out.

One read: Prefect

The other read: D.A. (chief assistance)

Hermione gasped at her own letter, where two badges fell out.

One read: Prefect

The other read: D.A. (Advisor)

Ron waved his letter around, dancing in particularly odd motions.

"What is wrong with you, Ronald?" Hermione asked, restraining her laughter.

"I'm not prefect this year…and I didn't get one of those D.A. badges either. That means I'm a normal student in school, and I'm a normal student in the D.A. Fred! George! You guys can come back to school now! I'm not prefect anymore!"

"Is Hermione still one?" Fred yelled from the other room.

"Yeah," Ron answered.

"Nope, not yet," George answered. The three teenagers heard Mrs. Weasley mumble something as the twins yelled in shock. It was apparent they had been slapped.

"All of our school supplies are at school already?" Hermione questioned, rereading her letter.

"That's what mine says too," Harry mumbled.

"Mine doesn't say that," Ron shouted smiling, "Hah! Again, I'm normal!" He once again went into dancing fits.

Ginny, who had silently been unnoticed had sat down, a shining badge in her hand.

"What's wrong, Ginny?" Hermione asked, nudging the ginger headed girl.

"I'm a…I'm the…I'm a young member of the D.A." She said turning the badge to admire it.

"I didn't get one!" Ron shouted happily, once again dancing, "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! THEY SENT ME A PAPER BADGE THAT SAYS THAT I'M A TRAINEE! I'M NOT EVEN A MEMBER!" He threw down his letter and stalked off, huffing and puffing the whole way.

"Ronald!" Hermione shouted walking after him, waving his letter in the way.

Harry took Ginny's badge from her hand and pinned it to her shirt. Ginny smiled sadly remembering her promise, but stood up to give Harry a quick hug.

"I'm so happy," she whispered, "I can't believe Dumbledore thinks I'm good enough to be an actual member."

Two mischevious ginger head twins cleared their throats from the doorway and Ginny jerked back from Harry.

"I thought nothing happened," Fred taunted.

"That's what I thought, too," George commented.

"Nothing did!" Ginny shouted, running after the twins. Harry just smiled and leaned back against the table that was behind him.

"Good job," Mrs. Weasley said smiling, "I'm so proud of you…"

Harry looked out the window and saw his reflection. Only standing behind him in his reflection was his mother and father, their hands on his shoulders.

"I'm proud, too," his mother whispered as the sound of Mrs. Weasley's humming filled his ears. Harry reached out to the mirror to touch his mother, but when he touch it her image rippled as if he had lightly touched water, and she disappeared.

Authors Note: I know, a lot of Ginny and Harry moments, but they'll get less frequent when they get to school, which is nearing…Haha, you'll have to read to uncover my evil plan! ;) hcadored
