Chapter 3 (Going up)
Ginny woke up the next morning before the other girls and the sun. She quickly gathered her clothes and just as she was about to get in the shower, Amy woke up.
"Butt head!" Amy said when she saw where her friend was heading. "You better not take too long!"
Ginny just shook her head and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. After her shower, Ginny quickly said a spell to dry her hair, then another one to curl it slightly. She used to wear her hair straight, but then she realized that every other girl had her hair just like that, so she curled it to be more unique.
When she finished, Ginny walked out to find Amy sitting on her bed, waiting for Ginny and attempting to scowl, but failed horribly. Amy saw her friend as she headed out of the shower and sent Ginny her pathetic attempt at a scowl. They both ended up rolling on the floor laughing, trying to stay quiet, as the other girls were still sleeping.
Amy got ready and both of the girls grabbed their bags and headed out to the common room to sit and chat for a little while, then they headed down to the Great Hall to eat breakfast.
Ginny and Amy sat down at the Gryffindor table, and a little while after they started eating, the Dream Team came in.
'Please don't see us, please don't see us,' Ginny thought. Sadly enough for her though, the Dream Team did see them and walked over and sat down across from Ginny and Amy. Ginny groaned inwardly and exchanged looks with Amy.
Soon, the post arrived with everyone's schedules. The owls supposedly carrying Amy and Ginny's schedules arrived, but they weren't carrying the two's schedules. The owls instead dropped two identical notes from Dumbledore that said the same thing:
Dear Miss Virginia Weasley,
Please meet me in my office as soon as you are finished eating. I will give you your schedule then.
Thank you,
Professor Dumbledore
They both swapped notes and read each other's, then exchanged looks, took a bite of toast, got up, and immediately left for Dumbledore's office.
As soon as they arrived at the statue guarding the entrance to Dumbledore's office, they suddenly realized they didn't have the password. Thankfully, Dumbledore came walking up the hallway towards them.
"Ah, ladies, how nice to see you!" he said. Then, turning to the statue, he said, "Hershey's kisses," and the statue jumped aside to reveal the upward-moving staircase. They all stepped on it and were taken up to Dumbledore's office. The three went inside and they all sat down in different chairs.
"Now, both of you have shown exceptionally excellent achievement in all of your subjects. You learn quickly, and are quite attentive in classes, as I have been told by your teachers. Even Professor Snape has complemented you two on your work in potions class. I had a conference with your teachers, and we have all agreed you both would be able to move up a year if you choose to. So, do you want to move up to the seventh year?" he finished.
Both of the girls exchanged looks, then asked for a quick conference between the two. Dumbledore said yes, and the two friends put their heads together (literally. They believed they could agree better that way. Weird, huh?), and quickly decided they would.
"We'll do it," Amy said. She was mainly the one who did most of the talking, while she let Ginny through most of the insults. Ginny enjoyed insulting, while Amy enjoyed talking most of the time.
"Ok. Here are your schedules. Now, I believe your first class starts soon. I will write you passes, as I see you still need to get your books. Now, off you go," he said, handing them the passes he wrote. They both left and headed up to the Gryffindor tower to get their stuff for their first class.
