Mrs Weasley sat with Hermione , Ron and Harry as they had their tea that evening.
" I dont know whats up with her at all " said Mrs Weasley to Arthur.
" I expect its Cho's death " said Hermione. " She was right there when it happened. She saw everything."
" Yes but that couldn't cause her to forget things. I'd swear I looked at her this morning and I saw anger in her eyes. Anger directed at me. I'm her Mother. I just dont understand."
" Shock causes some pretty odd things in people Molly " said Mr Weasley. " Give her a day or two and she'll be as right as rain in no time."
" She wont play Quiddich " said Fred. " She's says she has never played before and she said she had never been to Hogwarts."
" And what about Luna " said Ron. " Tell them Hermione. Tell them what you told Harry and me."
" Yes...well...I dont want to..."
" No go on Hermione " said Mr Weasley. " This may help us..."
" Well the last day Ginny and I went to meet Luna Lovegood in Diagon Alley. Luna is in Ginny's year. She helped us in our fifth year at the ministry. Well Ginny and Luna knew each other very well. The last day Ginny failed to recognise her and when I told her who it was. She said she had never met her at all. That was the day that she ran out onto the street and into London in front of the muggles."
Mr Weasley took of his glasses and rubbed the rim with his fingers. " Are you absolutly sure she did not know her?"
" Arthur if she say's she didn't , she didn't. Why would Hermione lie to us."
" Thats not what I meant Molly. Hermione I'm just making sure..."
" I understand Mr Weasley. Yes I am sure. She looked so confused and embarassed. I was frightened. I thought she was joking at first but..."
Ginny walked in. She looked around. " I know you are talking about me."
" Ginny dear."
" Dont touch me " screamed Ginny. " I dont care if you are talking about me. I dont need any of you."
She slammed the door and ran upstairs crying. Jon was waiting.
" Have they hurt you Ginny?"
She nodded and lay against his shoulder. " They were saying bad things about me. They were saying that I was losing my mind. That I have been forgetting things. I haven't Jon. Have I though. Jon am I forgetting things.? Am I mad. They are saying that I have become a different person. Have I jon. Have I gone mad."
" Of course not Ginny. They are just jealous of your happyness. They just dont want you to be happy."
She sighed and clung to him. " I dont understand Jon. I thought they loved me. Even that girl , the one with the bushy hair..."
" Hermione " said Jon.
" Is that her name? Yes thats who I mean. Even she mocks me and I dont know her."
" Dont worry Ginny. Everything will be okay. I will protect you."
