When Ginny came back in the evening , followed by several owls and shop-elves that carried around 80 parcels, she expected the vengeance of Morgana from Molly Weasley. So she pushed her chin forward and stared at her mother who waited for her in her room.
Molly opened her mouth and looked at the new and short white woolen dress that clung to her daughter as an expensive second skin. She shot her mouth again. A strange little smile appeared in the corner of her mouth and she just said:
" You could wear furred robes with this, you know?"
She turned to leave but stopped in the door and added:
" Today, Sirius told a obviously completely obscene story to Heliotrope Willis, she has fled the house and we erased her from the list.."
With an amused giggle she winked at Ginny.
" He´s in the blue parlour now with Remus, they are listening to Lady Grieve´s gruesome piano skills. You do so much better my dear darling. I am going to bed now."
And she left a thoughtful Ginny. Had her mother always been like this and she just hadn´t realized? Or had this possibly been the first time, that she had treated her daughter as an equal, an equal she liked? It was a nice feeling.
She called the houseelves and made them store her new belongings.
"I really should thank him again!" she decided and went downstairs to the blue parlour.
There was no piano playing anymore, so Lady Grieve had left the house. Ginny just wanted to open the door when she heard Remus say:
"I know you have a weak spot for redheads, - so do I ! But she´s a bit young, isn´t she?"
Ginnys hand froze on the door knob and her heart was in her mouth. Could it be? Would he..? She was so nervous, she nearly missed Sirius´answer:
" She´s of age and young only means that she can bear more children. And she´s funny, even if her breasts are a bit flat."
"Flat!", Ginny thought angrily," Everyone always told me that they are even a bit to big for me being so small!"
Remus chuckled: " On the other hand, her bum´s bigger than it should be..But honestly, Siri , don´t you think, Katie Bell would be better? Imagine, her great-grandmother was Tinker Bell! Your girls could look fairy-like!"
Ginny groaned. Now her bottom was fat and she had to compete with a part-fairy!
"I don´t care," she heard Sirius say, " the Greengrasses are direct descendants of Queen Maeve herself and therefore the most noble family of Ireland. It´s a wise decision."
Afterwards, Ginny did not know how she had managed to reach her room unheard befor she started crying.
"It´s funny," she thought before sleep finally overtook her," I should be used to this pain after Tom and Harry left me but this time it´s even worse."
The house elf that brought her morning tea the next day did not find her in a good mood and it did not get better.
When Ginny finally decided to get up, she first looked out of the window and promptly saw Sirius taking Daphne Greengrass on a ride with Buckbeat.. And she saw her red cheeks and swollen lips when they landed again after a while. Additionally, the hussy wore the same skirt from Mme. Maulkins as Ginny´s new one. Much too short for her legs she thought sourly and went ordering the flowers for the ball.
Fortunately, her day was full of work and she did not allow herself to stop and think. She bantered a bit with Remus Lupin, who complimented her on her new look and later in the afternoon, Molly informed her that Bill would come to see them. That cheered her up a bit and she took a strongly spiced egyptian bath to make him happy.
When she was ready, there was still some time left before dinner and so she went to the study and rummaged around in Sirius´bookshelves for some curses against the Irish.
She nearly screamed, when she heard an all too familiar voice behind her at her ear.
" Daphne," Sirius whispered silkily, " Did you come back for me, smelling like that? Wanted a bit more?"
His hands were gliding over her ass now and Ginny moaned. The idiot had just seen the red hair and the skirt of course. But she didn´t turn around.
He took hear moan as approval and pushed her against the shelves. She could feel his hard cock against her back through the thin fabric of her shirt.
" Your ass´s really much smaller than it looked before, you shouldn´t wear these unbecoming skirts you know," he murmured against her neck and licked her perfumed skin.
"That´s because it´s mine," Ginny thought dryly and purred.
His strong hands wandered up to her breasts now and she stretched into them like a stroked cat. Suddenly his breath caught.
In one swift movement, he swirled her around and stared appaled into her face.
" Trust Sirius Black to recognize a woman by the size of her tits." Ginny snapped dissapointed.
" Ginny!", he blurted out," I never intended to, oh. But you were feeling so - why didn´t you turn!"
" Forget it!", she hissed annoyed," We have a guest and you are expected downstairs! I will come too, after I ´ve changed that is! I suddenly don´t feel like wearing this skirt anymore!"
And she rushed out, leaving an utterly confused Black in his study.
