A/N: sorry for the wait. I am going to, at some point be adding in things I skip, so you may wish to re-read the first chapters once in a while.

"Hello Professor Slughorn," Chorused Ginny and Lily together.

"Hello miss winters, Miss Evans. Glad you could make it to my start of term party." Boomed Slughorn.

"Why did you invite us and nobody else?" Asked Ginny.

"Well, Miss Winters, you two did the best on the potion today. Those particularly gifted get invited to my parties. I have excellent connections and so I help my more gifted students in later life. I have recommended a quarter of the ministry of magic to their jobs." Said Slughorn. "Why don't you do talk to the other students"

"Ginny!" came a voice from behind them, and they both turned.

"Hi Molly," Said Ginny. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you two. Molly, this is Lily."

"Hi," They both said.

"The party any good?" Ginny asked.

"Not bad, wish Arthur was here though. Slughorn doesn't really favor him. I take it you both did well on the first potion?" Molly asked.

"Yeah, it was a easy potion, easiest in the book," Lily replied.

"I know, the second easiest potion was the potion to cure burns, I suspect you will be doing that one soon," said Molly. Before Lily and Molly both launched into a conversation about potions.

Ginny wandered off into the rest of the party, before seeing a boy they had met earlier; he was standing off to the side, looking nervous.

"Hi," Said Ginny as she walked up to him. "Remus Lupin right?"

He nodded.

"What are you doing over here by yourself?" Ginny asked.

"I'm new, and I don't make friends easily," He replied quietly.

"I don't see why; you seem very nice," said Ginny.

Remus smiled at the compliment, "So what is your name?"

"Ginny," She replied.


"Muggle lover!" sneered the tall seventh year slytherrin.

"Mudblood!" Shouted another slytherrin.

"Shut up!" Shouted Ginny in return. They were standing on the grounds on a cloudy day, the amount of light suggested it would rain soon.

"Mudbloods and Muggle lovers are not welcome here!"

Ginny said nothing, as her anger built up, nobody noticed her hair and robes starting to blow, at some point the wind effected them too, the sky darkened and a streak of lightning shot out of the sky, mere feet from the tall seventh year slytherrin.

Several people gasped, including Lily. Ginny just stood there, unblinking, her eyes had glazed over and her hair was blowing more than anyone else's.

Lily noticed her friend's strange behavior and put her hand on Ginny's shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Instantly the wind died down and the sky lightened somewhat, but nobody took any notice.

"I'm fine," Said Ginny uncertainly, 'Did I just do that?' she thought.

"Come on, let's get inside," Lily said before leading Ginny inside.


"Are you okay? You have been kind of distant…" Said Lily at dinner.

"I'm fine… I just remembered some… err… studying that I need to do in the library! See you!" Ginny said quickly.

"O-" Started Lily but Ginny was already out the door, "Kay."

When Ginny got to the library she searched the dusty library, even after hours of searching, she found nothing.


A/N: I had planned more info for this chapter before I realized how boring it would be to find out the plot in only the 5th chapter. I had the inspo for the final chapter, so I have that locked away in my computer. I have no earthly idea how long it will take to finish this fanfic, but it will be however long it takes to get to that chapter.
