Chapter Six

Ginny decides to head to the Common Room instead of the library, thinking it would be nice to be alone for a little while and there would probably be someone to bother her in the library, Madam Pince, for instance. Little does she know that someone is following her every move.

I'm not stalking her. I'm not. Why am I doing this then? Is it because I like her? I don't know. But I'm not stalking her. Just… following… to see if I can get any information. Yes. Sirius is just a few steps behind her, being very quiet for once, so she won't catch him. Where is she going? Ginny turns down the corridor toward the common room instead of the library. I'm not going to be able to follow her into the common room… Oh well… not like I'm trying to stalk her or anything. I'm not… I'm just concerned… for her well being. He nods. Well, better go another way. He turns at a hallway on the left, to take a short cut to the common room.

Ginny hears footsteps fading away. "Who was that?" She turns around, but doesn't see anyone. "Oh well. Cornish Pixies."  The portrait opens and Ginny walks in. She, seeing there is no one in the room, flops down on the couch.  Sirius is sitting just beyond the bend in the stair well that goes up to the dorms.

Ginny grabs her diary and a pen and starts to read aloud as she's writing. "Lily is nice. Remus reminds me of Hermione, and Sirius is wonderful. But I miss Ron, Hermione, and Harry. It's not the same without them."

Again this "Harry" guy. Sirius thinks. Wait- am I jealous? Of a girl? That's a first…. She does look cute sitting down there, though.

Ginny looks up at the wall. "What if I can't fix this? It hardly sounds possible…. But I never pictured myself in the seventies, did I? Why was I sent here? Harry could have done this better. He was his godson, after all. He knew him best…. Poor guy…. He's so happy now.  Why would anyone want to take that away from him?" She looks out the window. She can see Lily and co. and three Marauders. "Where is he?" I do like him, don't I? He could be hurt… or… She shakes her head. "Man, I'm obsessed. I think I need to go bang my head against a wall or something." She looks out there again. "Still not there…" Come on… he's just a guy. She lies back down on the couch. "Yeah, a cute one." She whispers.

Sirius creeps up to his dorm, making sure to skip the steps that might creak. Who was she looking for? Me? Nah… He walks down the stairs as if he had gone up to his dorm to get something.

"Hey, Gin." He says, smiling.

She jumps. "How long have you been standing there?"

He notices that her eyes are watery, like she is about to cry. "I just walked down a second ago. What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. I'm just really stressed at the moment." She blinks her eyes several times to get her tears to go away.

"I can fix that. Sit down." She complies. He sits down next to her. "Now, tell me what's bothering you."

She looks at him skeptically.

"I promise it will make you feel better."

"Yes…" She says sarcastically. "I'll just spill my whole story out to someone I barely know, who would probably turn around and tell everyone else. I don't think so."

"I won't tell anyone."

"Really?"

"You have my word as a Marauder."

 "Why do you care so much all of the sudden?" He shrugs. She sighs. "I miss my friends back home. I'm never going to see them again." If I do, they won't recognize me….

"Why?"

"Because they aren't here. They're at home."

"You're being too vague. Where's home?"

"Far away."

"Can't you see them over the holidays? They're only a couple of weeks away."

"No. I can't go back home."

She's opening up to me. He asks, "Were you close to your friends?"

"Yes. There were four of them, one being my brother, Ron. Hermione, who Ron asked out a couple of weeks before I left, is just like Remus, actually."

"Bookworm?" He asks, smiling.

"Yeah." She smiles. "Harry is Ron's best friend. He's sweet, but he can get annoying sometimes."

Good. She wasn't with him then. "What about the other?"

She sighs. "I didn't know him very well. He was really nice to me. But he…" She stops.

 "He what?"

She looks at him, but looks away quickly. She shakes her head. "He died." That was weird…. I can't really take it seriously because he's sitting right next to me. That's the first time I've actually said he died. Never really believed it, I suppose…..

He sees the pain on her face. "I'm sorry."

She doesn't look at him. "It's ok. It's not your fault…"

He can't think of a reply. "I'm going to go find James, alright? I'll talk to you later." She nods. "Listen, if you ever need someone to talk to, you can trust me, ok?"

She smiles. "Thank you, Sirius." He returns the smile, and then walks out. "Funny," She says to the now closed portrait hole, "You said the same thing to me at number 12 Grimmauld Place last Christmas."
