A/N: Unlike I have stated previously, this fic may last a little longer than I thought. Sorry. Please forgivith me.

July 13th
2:57 PM; Ginny's Apartment
Ginny stared into the mirror she'd confiscated from the wizard production of Beauty and the Beast.
"Show me my mother!" she screamed into the mirror's cracked glass surface.
Mrs. Weasley sat at the end of a long table, five cards in her hands. Drops of sweat ran down her face.
"Open mouth," Ginny muttered crossly, slamming the mirror on the floor. "Insert foot."
July 13th
9:00 PM; Ginny's Flat
Ginny threw the rest of her clothes in her suitcase. She pocketed all of her money and stared around at her flat. She loved her apartment. She hated to leave it. But she had to go. Already the Nightly Prophet had mentioned that Michael Corner had been murdered suddenly with the Curse of Death. Already the ministry had sent in a team of Forensic Wizards from the hit TV show CSI (how do you think they can find all that evidence and seem to always know exactly where to go? Magic. Duh). Already were they finding Ginny Weasley's fingerprints.
The government knew too much. And they would go to Ginny's home first.
She wasn't going to go to Azkaban. Or, at least, she wouldn't allow herself to be taken there. Quietly or silently.
July 13th
Midnight; Harry Potter's House
Harry Potter opened the fridge and pulled out a few blocks of cheddar cheese and a couple of pickles. He walked over to the pantry and grabbed the crackers.
He began to sing as he prepared his snack:
"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will loose heartaches
Whatever you wish you keep
"Have faith in your dreams and some day
Your rainbow will come shinin' through
No matter how your heart is grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream you wish will come true
"Have faith in your dreams and some day
Your rainbow will come shinin' through
No matter how your heart is grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream you wish will come true"
"Wotcher, Harry," Tonks called from the living room. "Done yet?"
"Yeah, Tonks!" Harry called back. He had invited the newlyweds, Remus and Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin, for dinner.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast aslee-"
Someone knocked on the front door, knocking Harry out of his snack-making stupor. "Who is it?" He called to the tune of 'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes'. He walked over to the door and peered through the eyehole.
"Ginny!" he cried happily as the redhead and he embraced the moment he opened the door. "Ginny, what is wrong?" he asked when he saw her tear-streaked face.
"I killed Michael Corner, Harry!" Ginny cried into his chest. "But only because he tried to kill me first..."
