Ginny smiled as she and Jon walked through the garden. She drank a flask of juice that she and Jon had brought. She offered him some but he declined. Hermione ran down after them and caught up.

" Hi Ginny. Hi Jon."

" Hey...ah...wait I know...I cant think of your... Do you want to walk with us to the lake?"

" Ginny it's me Hermione."

" Sure. Is that okay Jon? Can she come with us to the lake?"

" Very well " said Jon impatiently. " Vee can discuss eet later Ginny."

" Discuss what? " asked Ginny. Hermione sighed. She knew she was not wanted.

" Ginny I have news. Luna Lovegood reached me. Apparently Hogwarts is thinking of setting up a school paper. Well as you know Luna's dad is an editor. I thought she could help us with the running of it. I recommended your name. Now I know you are going to France. But I thought you could help us with the first issue. We can start it before you go back."

" Okay " said Ginny. " Yeah that sounds cool."

" Great " beamed Hermione. " I'll arrange a meeting with Luna."

That evening Hermione brought Ginny into Diagon Alley to meet Luna. They arrived in the Leaky Cauldron and sat down. Luna arrived wearing , bright pink robes , streaks of purple in her long blonde hair and two cat earings dangling from her ears.

" Good evening " she said brightly as she sat down. " This is the week of the gooblegosh " she told Hermione. Looking at Hermiones perplexed face she continued. " The gooblegosh is a demon that you cant see , by wearing bright colours you protect yourself from its deadly posions."

" Of course " said Hermione. " I'll warn everyone when I get back."

" Hello Ginny " said Luna. " Long time no see."

Ginny looked at Luna confused. Hermione smiled. " Are you alright Ginny."

" Ah it's just I dont have any idea who you are " said Ginny to Luna. Luna nodded seriously.

" The gobblegosh has leaked into your blood Ginny. I did warn you last year about it."

Hermione sighed and faced Ginny. " Whats going on Gin. Are you playing games with me?"

" Hermione I have never seen this girl before."

" Ginny we discussed this topic this morning. You agreed when I said we would meet Luna."

" I dont remember discussing anything Hermione. Why are we here?. Are we meeting Mum and Dad?"

Ginny looked pale and she got off her seat. " I want to go home." She ran out the door and looked frantically around. Trying to avoid getting lost among the cluster of people , she pushed her way through Diagon Alley and out into Muggle London. Her breathing increased as she ran through the city. She saw a shop across the road. She raced across the road when a car came speeding in her direction. She looked suddenly and screamed. A hand grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back. Ginny looked up into her fathers strong and reassuring eyes.

" I didn't know how to get home " she cried. " Why did I come this way. I always knew the way home."
