Note From Hannah: Hey guys. I am SOOOOO flippin sorry! I'm making this one ALAP (as long as possible) though it's still not up to some of the other standards around here!
I just now realized that since in the 6th book, Ginny and Harry start going out, and this is the 7th year for Ginny, its totally wrong, so lets pretend 6th year didn't happen and we just live with my little world for now, eh?

An extremely loud knocking woke Ginny the next morning.
Dragging herself out of bed, the tired girl blearily opened the first door she saw, finding a bathroom. Not what she wanted.
She looked around as the knocking grew louder and more insistent. "I'm coming!" she called. Locating the correct door, she pulled it open to find a tall girl of about 17. Her short brown hair was spiked like a boy's and she wore heavy eye-liner around her grey-blue eyes.
"Oh my God," The girl gasped. "You could be her twin."
"Who's twin?" confused for merely a second, Ginny's brain finally registered what was going on. "Oh! Lily's twin." The name left a strange, almost sad, taste on her tounge.
Ginny noticed that the tall girl's eyes were wet for a moment, but all traces of tears were swept away with an eye roll. "Yeah, duh. Lily." Her tone was just barely nonchalant. "Anyway, I'm Katie Jones." A rainbow fingertipped hand was offered.
"Ginny Weasley." Ginny's dark blue nail polish mixed right in with the many colors on Katie's nails.
"Dumbledore's already told me everything. Everything.You're to be Lily's replacement. My new best friend." Katie's voice changed from informing to flat in record time. Obviously Lily was a touchy subject.
'Well, duh.' Ginny thought. 'She just died.' Out loud she replied carefully, "In that case, I suppose you ought to teach me everything I need to know to be her." In a softer voice she added, "Talking about the person who died helps to get over their death and move on." She looked away.
"A relative?" The voice was now respectful.
"My neice," Sweet Gianna had been only one when she was attacked at the park in Hogsmeade by Death Eaters. It had been her first time to Hogsmeade and her mother and father, Ginny's brother Bill and his wife Fleur had both been there. Bill had fought off the Death Eaters until he was knocked out and Fleur had been hit by a foreign curse and they'd almost lost her. Gia hadn't stood a chance.
"Well let me in then! Let's make you into Lily, shall we?"

Nearly three hours later, the two girls sat on Ginny's bed, gossiping and giggling like the best of friends.
"--- and then, James had the nerve to say that if she'd go out with him, he'd put the greaseball down!" Laughter echoed throughout the room.
"After all that," Ginny began once they'd calmed down, "How did I wake up tohim kissing me?"
"Oh, they started going out months ago." Katie waved her hand in dismissal. "Kind of sad, really. After all that, he finally stops asking her out and she goes and falls for him."
After reminising some more on Katie's part, and learning more about the woman who Ginny had come to idolize, they were ready to face the school.

She was dressed in a pair of formerly old-fashioned, now hip-hugging and tattered jeans, which seemed a bit modern for this time, but had been altered by Katie and a black sweatshirt which had been charmed to read Gryffindor in -What else?- red and gold.
She was armed with her wand, her temper, and her new best friend.
Ginny was in the Gryffindor House common room, and the innocent students there had no idea of what they were in for.
Looking around and locating a familiar head of messy black hair, Ginny slowly tip-toed towards James, a smirk on her face. Katie watched, bewildered.
