I AM SOOOOO SORRY THAT I LEFT YOU GUYS ON THAT CLIFFY! I had to have my friend over to work on Econ. hw which was pretty much math (YUCK!). Yeah and we finished with only a half an hour left over and I usally spend about an hour typing all that stuff up for just one chapter….SOOoo…..yeah anywho, oh! And there is a chance I might not be updating as much cause I might end up as a tennis manager! I'm excited! 'cause I really am only gonna miss going to the out of town games, cause that's when I getta talk to my friends the most(4 hours on a bus. 2 hours each way…but that means I can get the story written sooner)! But yeah, and the coach cut all of the non-returning seniors and juniors cause he wants the team to be new or whatever. That really sucks! Ok and with this chapter let me add that I was convienced that Ginny was an animagus cat. That was before the sixth book came out though, because in the fifth book there were at least 2 times that JKR described her actions as cat like. Oh and thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! Also once again I am so sorry for leaving you on that big of a cliff hanger! And check my profile as always to see when I'm gonna update next, cause I put on there I couldn't! Oh and send my prayers out to all of you that are we're in Katrina's way! Oh and i seriously just got another review probably with in the last hour (thank you!) and no, sorry I don't think there is a way for me to type any faster. I am sooo sorry, cause i wish i could too!
Hmmm….I think I will do another Crambo quote….just because they are hilarious, and just to tell you they weren't drunk when they did this one…..and I didn't spell o'clock wrong…that is what it sounds like with a Scottish accent! And 'Chuckle' is actually pronounced 'trickle'.
"One a'clock, two a'clock, three a'clock rock, four a'clock, five a'clock, seven a'clock Chuckle! Eight a'clock, nine a'clock, ten a'clock. We're gonna rock until ten a'clock, then we're gonna have to go home, cause it's kinda late and have to go to bed, and eat, no drink some hot chocolate, and eat some waffles. Cakes! And I want Cake!" – Paul Kelly (I think or it's Gregor Mckay again…not sure, all the same it is from Crambo)
Alyssa gasped. She knew she had good hearing but –
"It's only a cat?"
Harry snorted. "Not just any cat, your brother is going to kill you." Alyssa gave him a confused look and then looked back at the cat.
"Ginny?"
"What do you mean 'it's only a cat?'" She said dusting off her black robes and smiling at Alyssa then saying, "Nice to meet you."
"You too, but this is getting really weird now."
"You have really good hearing."
"Erm…thanks I guess."
"Come on, we still have to get you home," Harry said grabbing Alyssa's arm and dragging her forward.
"Okay, Okay!"
They walked on for a while longer then Alyssa stopped suddenly.
"I hear something," she whispered. Harry gave her a questioning look and she pointed to the next yard. Ginny turned into her cat form and ran ahead into the next yard.
"Hey kitty! You lost?"
"It's Katie," Alyssa whispered so they both started walking again.
"Alyssa! I thought you had a football game!" Katie said as Alyssa and Harry walked into her range of view.
"I did, but it's a really long story," Alyssa looked at Ginny in Katie's arms purring.
"I see you've found my cat!" Harry said from next to Alyssa smiling.
"Yeah, she's real sweet! What's her name?"
Harry tried to think of a name quickly, but Alyssa bet him to it.
"Oh, her name is Chandra, it means 'moon like.'"
"Aw, how nice!" Katie said still petting her. Harry was getting nervous.
"Well we need to go before her parents start worrying," he said taking Ginny out of Katie's arms.
"Bye Katie!"
"Bye!"
There were no other problems on the way home, but when they got to the house, something seemed to be wrong. Alyssa unlocked the door and Ginny went into check in cat form, but ended up being chased out by Skittles and Scamper. Alyssa caught Skittles and picked her up while Harry caught Scamper. Tonks came out of the house following the dogs.
"Where are Ron and Hermione?" she said almost hysterically as Ginny changed back.
""They're not here?" Harry said looking surprised.
"NO!"
"Ok, Ginny stay here. Harry come with me!"
"But!"
"Remember? No magic!" he said pointing to Alyssa who muttered "At least I can see through invisibility cloaks."
Harry put Scamper down and then he and Tonks apparated.
"Soooo…I'm guessing you're the future Ginny?" Alyssa said as they walked in her house and closed the door.
"Yep – wait! You can see through invisibility cloaks?"
"Yep, so how long are you staying, cause there isn't much more room in this house." She said laughing, but the laughter not quite reaching her eyes.
"I honestly don't have any idea," Ginny replied not really paying attention to the conversation. "I really don't want to just sit here helpless."
"Me either, then again I do it all the time since I'm only a muggle," Alyssa said and rolled her eyes. She went to the couch and laid down on it with Skittles.
"That must be tough."
"The whole being able to hear things helps though."
"I wouldn't mind that, I think my mom has it, I mean whenever I try to sneak some food out of the kitchen some food out of the kitchen – BANG! There she is yelling at me to put it back."
"Poor Fred and George."
"Yes, they do have it kind of hard, but I help them a lot. You're their age aren't you?" Ginny asked sitting on the coffee table next to the couch.
"Hmm…I guess so, never thought about it. I wouldn't mind meeting the rest of your family though, but I doubt I will need that much protection," she rolled her eyes, "So if I ask you why you all are protecting me, will I get an answer?" she asked sitting up and looking at Ginny.
"They haven't told you!" she asked looking genuinely surprised.
"Erm…no?"
"Ok well I'd love to tell you but its not my place."
"Figures, wanna play a prank on them or something? That should get our minds off everything hopefully."
"Okay, what do you want to do?"
