Okay! I just want to say that I'm sorry that I made the mistake with the whole Hades and Persephone story! But if you look back, you'll see that I've edited it at once. I only changed it a bit so that Ares still thought up the idea of the pomegranate that bound Persephone to the underworld.

Sorry though!

Chapter 6

"Sorry mum, it's just that..."

"Don't you go and making up excuses! In the house, NOW" Molly roared. Ginny scrambled in. Quickly, she chucked her bag in the closet without her mother seeing. She sped in the living room, where she noticed her brothers (except Percy, Charlie and Bill), Harry and Hermione sitting at the dinner table. (Dad always came in later) They all looked up when they saw her speeding in. Molly stomped in soon after.

"Upstairs!" One word...was good enough. Everyone except Molly or Ginny left the living room. (Ginny knew that did not mean that they went upstairs. She just knew that they were listening in)

"And you young Lady" Molly said, wagging her finger in front to Ginny. "Are going to tell me EXACTLY what you have done, today"

Okay...keep it cool Gin...what's a good excuse?...

"I'm waiting" Molly said, impatiently.

Fight fire with fire!

"I DON'T have to explain anything! I am old enough to make my own decisions! You don't want to be that kind of mum that always tries to control their children's lives, do you? Now YOU are going to stop pestering me about this and respect me for what I'm capable of"

Molly looked taken aback. She hadn't expected her daughter to be mad at her and yell at her in that oh-so-Weasley-way.

"I've taught you well, dear" Molly grinned, patting her head and walked of to the kitchen. As soon as the kitchen door closed, the rest came back in.

"Ginny! How did you do that?" Ron said in awe.

"Now that's the little weasley that- "

"we've taught you to be" Fred and George said.

"Teach me how to do it!" Ron urged.

"Sorry! It's a Weasley-women thing"

Everyone saw a lost cause when they saw it and returned to their seats at the dinner table. Ginny followed and sat next to Hermione.

"Hey Hermione! Maybe I could teach you sometimes, when you...fill the bill" As a Weasley woman Ginny thought.

Hermione understood what Ginny meant and blushed, but said nothing.

After dinner, Ginny ran to the closet, grabbed her bag and went upstairs. When she was in the safety of her room, she immediately locked the door. Two cracks from downstairs signaled that Fred and George had gone away. One crack again, let Ginny know that her dad had arrived. Here mum was certainly going to be downstairs feeding dad. And then she waited for...footsteps.

imagine hearing footsteps right about...now!

Ah...there they are...a little later then expected though Ginny though as she heard footsteps of three persons walking up.

3...2...1...

Sounds were heard of somebody trying to open up the door (unsuccessfully, If I may add) and of course, none of them would even think of knocking before entering instead of trying to burst in.

"Ginny, can you open this door?" Hermione asked.

Ginny contemplated this. If she didn't open up, there was going to be a screaming contest and eventually they'd go away, but...they would stalk her for as long as they needed to get her cornered.

"Fine" She muttered. "let's get this show on the road"

The Trio walked in.

"Ginny where did you go today?" Ron questioned.

"Out"

"That's not what he meant, Ginny" Harry remarked. Ginny raised her eyebrow at Harry.

"And why do you assume that I didn't know that...Harry?"

He blushed. He only misses the red hair, but otherwise...a weasley to boot.

"Please Ginny...we were worried about you"

Ginny inwardly smirked. Now Hermione knows how to play it! (guess this is just a general woman-thing)

"I know, but I'm fine. I didn't do anything dangerous...now get out" Ginny said calmly. Ron was about to protest, but Ginny glared. She mouthed a word to him. Ron paled and immediately dragged Harry and Hermione with him out of the room.

Bat Bogey hex Ginny thought. Still works like a charm to get Ron out of my way

With them gone, Ginny thought back to the information she had found in London. She withdrew the piece of parchment out of her bag and read it once more.

Could this really be what happened to Draco? But we didn't get a pomegranate...could the rose be an improved pomegranate?

Wait a minute...didn't Rosie from the otherworld say that the Rose was rare in my world? That she wasn't even sure if they existed here anymore?

If that rose is something special Ginny thought. then there has to be some information about it she reasoned.

And...if it was indeed a rose that takes you to the underworld, wouldn't it be considered dark? That would mean that there could be a chance that the information of the rose is in the library of the Department of Mysteries.

Hope began to bubble inside of her. Maybe she could get Draco back soon!

With that she fell into a dreamless sleep. Only to be awoken by her mother.

"GINNY!"

Ginny shot up, groggily.

"WHAT" She yelled back, disgruntled.

"PANSY AND BLAISE ARE HERE, SO GET YOUR LAZY BUM DOWN!"

Ginny looked at her clock. 7 o'clock and SHE was being lazy? Finally she dragged her 'lazy bum' out of bed, showered and dressed. She didn't feel like dressing up, so just some faded jeans and a weasley jumper would have to do. She trudged downstairs and saw Pansy and Blaise. They were being tortured by her mum to drink more tea then their bladders could hold.

"hi" Pansy and Blaise looked up at Ginny's disgruntled hello.

"Well hello to you too Sunshine" Blaise commented.

"Well you should come over an hour earlier and you'll see some blinding rays of sunshine!" Ginny replied.

Pansy grinned. "Told ya, she'd like it if we were early"

"Ah yes comebacks are always sharper at 7:30 in the morning with our Gin-gin here"

"Why are you two here" Ginny said, grabbing some toast.

"We're going to take you out today!…How does Italy sound?" Pansy exclaimed.

"Sounds like: No way, I don't feel like it!" Ginny said. She wasn't up for it. She felt like moping around today. There's nothing like a good moping around every once in a while.

"We'll have none of it, you're coming with" Blaise stated.

"Like you are able to make me" Ginny dared.

"catch!" Pansy said and threw something at her. Startled, she brought her hands up and caught it. She looked at it. It was a...toothbrush.

Everything started spinning. She just saw Blaise waving at her.

"See ya in a few secs...in Italy"

"Have fun dear" She heard her mother.

Her vision started to blur.

A portkey...damn my reflexes...Oh well...Italy here I come!

R&R!...plzz...
