Chapter 4: Dinner Talk
Author's Note: I feel this chapter is a little forced. Review and criticize all you want. It would be most helpful.

When she got up, it was almost night time. She got up, took a bath, brushed her teeth, got dressed and joined her family at dinner. In truth, there were only her father and mother since Bill was back in Romania, Fred and George were at the joke shop (she doubted they would show their faces after what happened earlier), and Ron was with Harry and Hermione, God knows facing what kind of dangers. The first thing she noticed upon arriving was her parents' somber faces.
"Ginny we need to talk to you." Her mother started sobbing quietly when her father said this. Ginny pretended she had not noticed.
"About what Daddy?" She tried to keep her voice as innocent as possible while inserting a spoonful of mash potatoes into her mouth.
"Well you know that Harry, Ron, and Hermione left earlier this morning to try and defeat 'He who must not be named'. They did not tell us this, but it is fairly obvious, like the fact that they told you where they went." Mr. Weasley looked at her gravely. Truth was she did not know since she had had no time to read Harry's letter. The letter, she now remembered it! How could she have forgotten? But as to the trio's whereabouts she had a mild suspicion they were at Godric's Hollow.
"I can honestly say that I don't know…for sure…yet."
"Well when you do, we are not asking you to betray their trust, but if you suspect they are in any kind of trouble, if they need our help, we beg you to please come to us." She looked into her father's eyes and then at her sobbing mother. It nearly broke her heart.
"Of course Daddy, I'm not stupid." She kissed her father's cheek and hugged her mother.
"I'm going to bed now. I'm not hungry anymore." She ran to her room and landed on her bed, crying. She eventually fell asleep again. She had been quite the sleepyhead today.
