Blue Flowers of Celestial Years

Chapter 1: "Small Changes of Life"

"Hey little Ginny!"

"Have you come to buy one of our 'Weasley Wizard Wheezes' products?"

"No thanks Fred, George. I was just told to bring you your lunches."

Ginny plopped the bagged lunches down on the counter. Fred and George just opened a "Weasley Wizard Wheezes" shop in Diagon Alley. The other good news is that they were about to open another shop in Hogsmeade village, much to the anger and frustration of Mr. Filch, the caretaker at Hogwarts.

Already, the Weasley twins have made Zonko Products second rate within a few months.

"Ah, mum still taking care of us." Fred exclaimed as the paper bag made crinkly noises as he opened it.

"And mum still forgetting we dislike meatloaf sandwiches." George said as he looked at the wrapped sandwich with a wrinkled nose in great distaste.

"You two have been rich for too long. You never complained once before!" Ginny scolded her brothers in a very Molly way.

Fred snorted, and ignored his little sister. "Oh, did you hear the good news, Ginny?" Fred asked as he carefully unwrapped the sandwich his mum had given him so he did not damage the precious meatloaf.

"That you're rich?" Ginny asked lamely while looking at the newest Weasley gag; the Fire Sucker. It looks like it tastes like cinnamon, but when someone puts the "candy" sucker in his mouth; it makes the mouth feel like it is on fire. Ginny knew one student who had to go to Madam Pomphry's hospital because blisters started popping out in his mouth and down his throat because he swallowed his saliva.

"Well, besides that." George said his mouth full of meatloaf sandwich.

"Professor 'Dumblydore' had trouble finding a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Fred informed, smirking at the headmaster's pet name.

"Not surprising, really." George said as he finished his sandwich.

"And how is that good news?" Ginny asked, picking up the brilliant-red fire sucker and examined the shinny sphere.

"Dumbledore decided to rehire Professor Lupin." Both twins informed her at the same time.

Ginny shifted her eyes from the gag treat, to her brothers in slight surprise.

"Professor Lupin?" Ginny asked.

In her second year was when Remus J. Lupin became a professor, then was sacked when Snape told everyone that Lupin is a werewolf. Still, even in her sixth year, Ginny hears how Professor Lupin was the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Hogwarts ever had. Yet Ginny could not think of a single person, nor did she try to, who deserves the job more than professor Lupin.

"Yes, Professor Lupin." Fred explained. "Which means the students are happy—"

"—parents in an uproar—," George said.

"—Dumbledore is more stubborn than usual—"

"—The Ministry blamed and stressed—"

"—And Snape having a heart attack, stroke, and a hernia."

Ginny blinked.

"What's a 'hernia?'" She said.

Ginny had no idea why Fred and George busted out laughing, their faces turned red from a lack of oxygen.

George wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Never mind, Gin; never mind." He laughed. "So, do you want to change your mind about buying a product?"

Ginny looked at the Fire Sucker, and then shook her head. She was about to walk out the door when she changed her mind, and she walked back up to the counter. She put the Fire Sucker down on the wooden counter.

"On second thought, I might need this." Ginny exclaimed as she dug in her pockets, searching for a silver sickle.

Fred finished his meatloaf sandwich, bagged the Fire Sucker in a small back that said, "Weasley Wizard Wheezes" and under that, "Fred and George Weasley."

Fred handed the bag to his baby sister, and then told her, "Don't worry about it. It's on the house."

Ginny thanked her brothers and took the bag.

"You know you're our favorite sister, right?" George asked.

Ginny rolled her brown eyes upward toward the ceiling.

"I'm your only sister!"

"Well at least you won't have competition!" both twins exclaimed at the same time.

Ginny looked at the Fire Sucker inside the bag. A very evil smirk came to her lips that can only be compared to Fred and George when they get a really good idea going in their minds.

"I might be able to use this soon." Ginny muttered to herself, and then went out of the shop.

"I do believe we corrupted her, George." Fred said.

George nodded in agreement, as a new sense of respect for their only sister filled both twins.

"But it's all good!" they laughed, talking unison.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Remus J. Lupin was surprised to say the least when Professor Dumbledore sent him an owl asking him if he would like his old job as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher back.

To Remus, Dumbledore must have been pretty desperate to rehire him, a werewolf. But Remus could not turn down the one person whom he respected the most, so he accepted.

Naturally, outraged parents sent complaints, if not threats, to both Dumbledore and the Ministry. Remus had accepted a long time ago that no one can change another person's opinions about things that just cannot be explained in this world.

Yet, what surprised Remus the most is that all his old students were highly excited to have him back as their teacher. So, Remus set out for Diagon Alley to get some teacher supplies, although he still kept his old ones.

He was a bit lost in his thoughts that he didn't see a girl with red hair headed straight towards him, although she wasn't paying any attention to where she was going either.

"I'm sorry." Both of them said at the same time when the red head collided with the man's chest.

Remus looked down at the girl. He had seen this girl somewhere....

"Professor Lupin?" the girl asked.

Then it came to him; she was the Weasley's daughter.

"Miss Weasley." Remus nodded toward the girl. "Last time I saw you—"

"—Was last month." Ginny finished for him.

Remus blinked, and then he remembered the Weasley family over at the new Order of the Phoenix headquarters. His decided his memory must have been slipping.

"Oh, that's right." He agreed, trying to cover his embarrassment for his short term memory. Maybe he was getting to old.

Ginny smiled up at her soon-to-be-Professor-once-again.

"So how have you been?" she asked.

"Since last month? Okay, I guess, just, er, stressed."

"Oh... the whole you-know-who gaining more and more power thing..."

Remus nodded. The wizard world was growing more and more threatened as the days progressed. Remus could not think of a time things were this tense except for when he was still a student at Hogwarts, playing pranks with the other Marauders. To make the tense atmosphere less overwhelming, Remus decided to bring it to a more pleasant place.

"So, you're going into your third year?" he asked.

"Sixth year." Ginny muttered as she frowned deeply, looking away.

Remus just realized he must have said something wrong.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." He said.

"It's alright, really. I don't expect anyone else to remember." Ginny said sourly.

Yet again, Remus felt the atmosphere tense again.

"That's right," he exclaimed lamely, trying to bring the conversation up once again. "Harry, Ron, and Hermione are entering their seventh and last year."

"Mmm-hmmm." Ginny said, still looking everywhere except at her professor.

Remus sensed this and decided it was time to part ways.

"Well, have a good time shopping." He said. "I'll see you at Hogwarts."

Ginny nodded, and walked passed him. It was then that Remus looked down and saw that she had dropped her "Weasley Wizard Wheezes" bag with the product inside it.

By the time he turned around, Ginny was already lost in the crowd. Remus looked down at the bag without looking at the contents. 'I'll give it to her at school.' He thought to himself and put the bag in his robe's pocket.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Where is it?!" Ginny said to herself, frantically searching through her room. "It has to be here somewhere!"

The last time Ginny saw "it" was at Diagon Alley, but after her run-in (quite literally) with Professor Lupin.

"What has to be in here somewhere?" someone asked her.

Ginny looked up and saw her short mother standing in her doorway, the door wide open. She flashed her mother a nervous smile.

"Oh nothing… I'm just looking for my diary."

Mrs. Weasley gave a small frown. The last time Ginny was frantically searching for a diary was in her first year when she was possessed by Tom Riddle.

"It's a muggle diary that came from a muggle shop, mum." Ginny explained.

Mrs. Weasley nodded, picked up the broom she had resting against the wall, and then headed back downstairs.

Ginny sighed. She actually was searching for the Fire Sucker, not her muggle diary. That was tucked away in a safe place that only she knew about. The truth is it took Ginny two years for her to even touch a diary. She finally went to muggle London with her father, and she got a blue-colored diary that day.

Ginny got a blue diary because her favorite color is blue. After her first blue diary was filled up, she got another diary, then another, and then another. She did not know why she kept all her diaries; something was just telling her to keep them because someone in the future might need to read them.

Ginny shook her head, giving up on her search for the Fire Sucker. At least it was free; then again, Fred and George let her have it for free. Oh well, that can be considered some payment for all the pranks they pulled on her.

Ginny pulled out her muggle diary, and then began to write in it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Weasley family, plus one Potter, were at the train station at 9 ¾ waiting to board the train.

"Now behave yourselves!" Mrs. Weasley warned the same warning every year.

"Yes, mum." Ron and Ginny said dully; the last two Weasleys to attend Hogwarts.

Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all boarded the train, and then looked for a compartment to claim. Ron looked back to see his sister following him and his friends.

"Sod off, Ginny!" Ron exclaimed.

Ginny huffed like a little girl, but she did not really care at that time.

"Fine! I'll just go find my boyfriend!" Ginny yelled.

"Wait! On second thought—"

But Ginny was already half way from the trio to hear the rest of what her brother was saying. Considering that Ginny hardly has any friends, she decided to really find her boyfriend, Seamus. However, she could not find him anywhere on the blasted train.

Ginny was about to go back to find her brother and his friends when she saw Draco Malfoy coming down the train's hallway. In desperation, and to avoid confrontation, she quickly opened the door to the nearest compartment, and without looking at who was inside, she jumped in, and then slammed the door shut.

Before Ginny could do anything else, she heard a voice behind her that made her jump in surprise.

"Fancy seeing you here, Miss Weasley."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
