AN: here's another chap. Enjoy!
The next morning during breakfast, the owl post came in. Owls were flying everywhere in the Great Hall. The birds would drop the mail in front of students; sometimes getting it in their food, or in Neville's case, his mouth. Some of the mail were personal letters written by loved ones, but mostly it was the morning's paper, the Daily Prophet. The boy who was sitting next to me was on of those who got the paper. Normally I wouldn't have read over his shoulder, but the headline caught my eye.
GINNY WEASLEY BACK FROM THE DEAD!
It was late last night when Molly Weasley received an owl from her daughter. Ginevra Weasley was captured two years ago by Voldemort. However when the Riddle Manor was attacked, and Voledmort defeated, there was no sign of Ginevra. The entire wizarding world believed her dead. Now Molly Weasley swears she received a letter from her daughter. Ginevra's words were simply: Don't cry Mum! Ginevra signed the letter giving her mother hope that she would see her daughter again.

I looked up from the article with a smile on my face. 'She got my latter' I thought. 'She believes'. I suddenly heard someone get up from further down the table. I looked down that end and saw Ron and Harry hurry out of the Great Hall. Then I realized everyone was leaving. Breakfast was over and it was time for class. I grabbed my bag and joined the other students in the line, waiting to get out.
I was walking down a corridor a few minutes later when I saw Ron and his friends. I walked up to my brother. "Congratulations Ron." I said.
Ron looked my way and the smile on his face melted away as soon as he saw me. "What do you want?" he asked.
It took a lot for me not to yell at him. I've only been nice to him, and all he can do is sneer at me. "To give my congrats. Your sister is alive." I told him. I walked away before he could say anything stupid. Though stupid me was thinking about how Ron could be so stupid sometimes as I was walking through the corridors. Which means I wasn't really looking where I was going. So I have no idea why it surprised me when I crashed right into Draco's chest, sending us both crashing down to the ground... with me on top.
"Get off me, Black!" He growled at me.
"Listen" I said as I got up. " I think you took me wrong the other day. I hadn't meant to upset you. I was only wondering. If you haven't noticed, I'm new here. From what I gathered Slytherins and Griffindors have always been at each other's throats." Draco was looking a little annoyed but he didn't say anything. "I mean, I don't dislike you or anything. I was just under the assumption that you would hate me just because I am a Gryffindor. The point is I'm glad you don't hate me, or at least I think you don't hate me. But I'm just a little confused as to why you don't." I finished. Draco looked less annoyed, but instead of answering me he bent down and picked up the sole book I had dropped. He gave it a look and then passed it to me. I accepted it, but still waited for him to say something. Though he didn't and just walked away.
I frowned. I was now more confused than before. It was true what I told Draco, I was confused as to why he would be civil to a Gryffindor. Though I wasn't new to the school or the students, I was new to the idea of Gryffindors and Slytherins talking to each other. Almost as new as I was to Ronald Weasley hating his sister.
Dear Mum
I figured you would want to hear from me again. Its been so long. I miss you!
I'm perfectly fine. I'm eating okay. I'm sad to say that I won't be able to see you anytime soon, but don't worry I'll see you before the end of the school year.
I can't write long, I'm sorry. I thought you should know, though, that George was brave to the very end. I saw him there, I saw many there. But I won't get into that. When the Order attacked the Riddle house an explosion let my cell door open. I escaped. I'm safe. Don't worry, I'm in good hands right now.
I've heard news from Hogwarts. Tell Ron to stop being so nasty to the new girl, Aria Black... she's been through a lot. Tell him I'm sorry about Hermione, and tell him about George.
Tell everyone I'll see them in a few months.
Love you, as always
Ginny Weasley.
AN: Review, flame, or do nothing at all. Its all good.
