The Forgotten Prophecy
Written By: Jeeths
Chapter 11: Surprise!Ginny walked downstairs and entered the kitchen once more only to be greeted by, surprise surprise, Ron and Harry. She sat down in a chair and picked up a piece of toast from the leftovers on the table. When the piece of toast was halfway to her mouth, she noticed her brother gawking at her.
"What?" she asked through a mouthful of toast. Weasleys always spoke with their mouths full, at least the boys do. Ginny had learned from watching. She believed Molly to be the one who ate weird, along with all the other students at Hogwarts whom she had observed.
"What's that?" he asked.
"What's what?" she asked, downing her orange juice.
"Don't act like you don't know!" Ron yelled, getting frustrated rather easily.
"Ron, I don't have to act, because I have no clue what you're talking about."
"Is that an engagement ring!" he asked. Ginny looked completely bewildered for a moment, then realization dawned upon her as she glanced down at the ring on her finger which was currently wrapped around the empty glass. She then struggled to keep a straight face.
"Is it?" Harry interrogated. 'Why on earth would you care?' Ginny thought to herself.
"And if it is?" Ginny questioned.
"GINEVRA WEASLEY! WHO THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU ENGAGED TO!"
"Ron, don't get your knickers in a twist. Plus, it's none of your business, so stay out of it. You stay out of this too Harry." Ginny replied, taking a bite out of her sausage. Ginny's favorite meal of the day was breakfast. With the yummiest foods available, who wouldn't love it? She always ate her fill in the morning and ate less throughout the day. It seemed sensible to her.
"You know it's my business! You're my baby sister!" Ron said with a growl and Harry nodded with approval.
"Regardless of whether or not I'm your sister, it's still not any of your business. How can relation make it your business? You don't control my life and the decisions I make for it. And how can you possibly believe that I'm a baby? When was the last time I was baby-ish around you? I TURNED FIFTEEN ON THE ELEVENTH AND YOU ALL BLOODY FORGOT! WHAT, AM I SUPPOSED TO STAY ELEVEN FOREVER!" her voice steadily rising along with her temper. She stormed out of the kitchen to the backyard. Her appetite was now completely diminished. She then hopped the fence and continued walking down the path to a little stream only she knew of. She would often come here as a little girl to get away from the daily ruckus of the Weasley household. She sat down by the stream and plunged her feet in the cool water. She now made a new resolve canceling out the one she made at the end of her fourth year. 'I'm going on that exchange program whether they like it or not.'
As she walked back up towards the house, she noticed her mother bustling about the kitchen. She had stayed near the stream till around dinner time, skipping lunch save the one reddish apple she picked from a tree near the stream. 'I bet they didn't even notice I was gone for so long...' She made her way to the back door. She heard muffled sounds coming from the doorway and wondered vaguely if the twins were home. 'Hmmm...when did all the lights turn off? What are those two up to this time?' She quickly opened the door to have the lights turned on. She was greeted by the five Weasleys (her mother, father, Ron, Fred, and George who came on short notice from their flat above their shop in Diagon Alley.) and Harry.
"SURPRISE!" they all yelled enthusiastically.
"Er...for what exactly? Are you waiting for someone else?" she asked, noting the banner displaying the words 'Happy Birthday' across the kitchen ceiling. She took a quick glance behind her shoulder making sure that the person they were really waiting for didn't glimpse the surprise party being thrown.
"Silly Gin, this is for you!" Fred said in a bad imitation of a muggle Trix cereal commercial.
George wrapped an arm around Ginny. "It's not everyday our youngest sister turns fourteen!"
Ginny glared at her brother, "I turned fifteen!"
George rounded on his other half, "You told me it was fourteen!"
"That's what THIS dimwit said!" pointing an accusatory finger at Ron.
Ginny stalked up to her youngest brother "You'd think he'd know how old I was considering I'm only a year younger than him, but I'd guess not. You'd also think Potter would keep him up to date," moving her glare towards Harry, causing him to flinch as her voice was directed at him, "but I'd guess not. And you'd also think that if they couldn't accomplish that simple task, then listening to me rant about how old I was this morning would be sufficient enough to joggle their memory, but I'd guess not. And you'd also think that both of them weren't so slow as to make a surprise party after a person's birthday was belated by two weeks, but I'd guess not. Too late." She spat, running up the stairs and slamming the door, leaving five gaping Weasleys and one stunned Potter next to a birthday cake whose candles quit emitting sparks.

Review Please!
A/N: I apologize for taking much longer than I intended to, but I also only got 8 reviews for the last chapter! I didn't work for about a week because I didn't get many reviews, but then after a while, I slowly got a couple of more bringing it up to eight! C'mon you guys! You can't expect me to update sooner if you don't give me reviews! I didn't mean to hold out for a month...
Thank you so much for the reviewers that gave me SOME reviews for this chapter! You are much appreciated and if you did not review at all, then I would have scrapped this story! I'm already working on the next chapter, and I hope for it to be up today or tomorrow! BUT REVIEW, or it wont!
IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE: I NEED A BETA READER AND A FRENCH TRANSLATOR! I'm taking French 1 this year, but I only know a few things so far, and the online French translators just translate words, not full phrases! So please, please, please, someone email me about that! If you don't, then I'll just use a French online translator, and you can't berate me about it not being true French! And if I get a French translator after that, then I'll go and change the past chapters with proper French afterwards! Plus when I go and read over what I've written after I've updated, then I see a few careless mistakes! So I NEED a BETA reader! Please contact me by my email, or my AIM screen name! THANKS!
