A/N: This is my first fanfiction so be gentle. lol

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I also used a quote from Alanis Morsette's 'Mary Jane.'

In the Morning

Ginny Weasley woke up early on her first day of her sixth year. It was quiet in the Burrow because everyone else was still asleep. Se liked the quiet it suited her. No matter what her family thought, Ginny wasn't a little girl anymore. She dated and tied her very own shoes. She and Harry had been dating for awhile, but he broke it off after Dumbledore was killed. He was going to go after Voldemort, unfortunately the Ministry demanded he finish school.

They also insisted that Draco Malfoy be allowed back to Hogwarts to complete his seventh and final year. Ginny was afraid to how Harry was going to deal with Malfoy. Harry may have broken her heart, but she still cared for him. All she knew was they had to put Malfoy in separate classes than the "Dream Team" if they want him to remain in one piece.

She decided to go downstairs to get some breakfast. While she was walking down the stairs she was listening to her discman that Hermione gave to her for her birthday last week. Mione charmed the player so it would work at Hogwarts.

"What's the matter Mary Jane, had a hard day? So place the 'Don't Disturb' sign on the door." she sang along with the cd. She than ran into her father at the bottom of the stairs.

"Good morning Daddy. Have you got Ministry cars to take us to the Station?" she asked.

"Yes I have Gin-bug!" Arthur replied happily. He had no idea that his only daughter hated the horrid nickname he gave her. She just grinned and bared it. "Are you excited about going back to school?"

"Not really. It won't be the same without Dumbledore. I can't believe they're letting Draco Malfoy back into the school! Are they crazy? Do they want another Death Eater attack?" Ginny asked her father.

"Since his father went to Azkaban last month Malfoy has been very helpful to the Aurors. Plus he was cleared of the charge for Dumbledore's murder. You should try to understand that Draco has been trying to make up for his part in letting the Death Eaters into Hogwarts last term. That boy is destined to do great things." after that last sentence Arthur clamed up.

"What do you mean he's destined for great things? All that boy is destined for is having the Dark Mark burned into his skin!" Ginny said as she was walking toward the kitchen. She missed the look of relief on her father's face. He didn't want her to know the true meaning of his words until she was ready. He gladly let the subject drop.
