Chapter one : Old Memories
Ginny Weasley sat up in her bed. She hadn't been sleeping but looking through scrapbooks of her old days at school. She sighed, remembering everything. Hogwarts was so much fun, I miss it so much, she thought to herself. She opened a book labeled 3rd Year in School. Immediately she saw a picture of her and her fellow Gryffindor friends. As usual the pictures were moving. Hermione was smiling and waving, Ron was looking very sheepish, and his cheeks were a very lovely shade of pink. She laughed slightly as she remembered how much Ron cared for Hermione. Neville Longbottom was sitting next to Hermione waving at Ginny from the picture. Then, in the right of the picture, she saw Harry Potter and herself, Harry's arm was draped on her shoulder and Ginny's around his waist. They were laughing and being silly. Ginny blushed in the darkness of her bedroom. She suddenly remembered everything of her third year at Hogwarts. She was always fond of Harry, although he was a year older and was her brother Ron's best friend, Ginny was taken with him from day one.
She sighed again as she remembered his striking green eyes, and messy jet black hair. She was always in love with his looks, and his attitude all together. If anything he had made an excellent Gryffindor.
She tried to remember everything about Harry, but found she couldn't remember where he was living at the moment. She recalled how he had worked so hard to become an aurorer, receiving decent grades in all his classes and then going off to training. Tomorrow she would be visiting Hermione she would ask her about Harry then. She closed the book and took it to its shelf. She checked her clock and saw that it was very early, nearly 6 in the morning! She was meeting Hermione for lunch at 12. She ran for the bathroom and turned the shower on, allowing the water to run a bit so it would be hot. She glanced at herself in the mirror and noticed her own facial features. She frowned to herself. She had dark marks under her eyes from lack of sleep. She would definitely have to use some of Hermione's Cover-up Magic Make-up. She had gotten it a year before and hadn't had a good reason to use until now. She then, striped out of her pajamas and jumped into her shower.
By 12-o-clock Ginny looked well enough to meet her friend. They were going to lunch at a new place in Diagon Alley called Laurence's. Ginny locked the door to her flat and with a loud "pop" she apparated to Diagon Alley. When she arrived, she spotted Hermione, who was, very well dressed in very fashionable clothes. They screamed and ran to each other. They hugged and laughed.
"Ginny oh it's so good to see you! I've missed you so much!" Hermione exclaimed in happiness.
"Hermione you look great! Good lord, what size is that skirt! You look so thin! You'll have to tell me your secret over lunch!" Ginny squealed. The two walked into the new restaurant arm in arm to be waited upon by the hostess.
As soon as they sat down and had ordered their food, Hermione's treat, the two began their conversation. "So Hermione, tell me everything. What's new with you?" Ginny questioned. "Oh well, I want to show you something, it's really gorgeous, and I love it," Hermione said grinning. She leaned forward and put her hands in Ginny's. At first Ginny didn't understand until her eyes fell on Hermione's left hand. Her eyes nearly popped out, gleaming in the light of the restaurant's lamps was a very beautiful diamond, set in a band of white gold. The one middle diamond which had to have been at least 2 karats was surrounded on the sides with about 4 others that were smaller. Ginny squealed with excitement, "HERMIONE! Oh my lord, that is beautiful! Oh my-wow! Oh Hermione I'm so happy for you! Who's the lucky guy?" Hermione grinned, and then stopped. Her brain was working on a good answer. "Gin, well, I know you won't ever believe this, I couldn't believe it when we started dating, but Gin, Draco proposed about a month ago!" Ginny was absolutely speechless. "Malfoy, DRACO MALFOY?" She was shocked. "When did you two start dating?" Hermione was relieved that Ginny wasn't upset. "Well, after school I was out in the market shopping. Well who should I happen to run into but Draco. We decided to meet up later at the Leaky Cauldron, Just to catch up on old times, and that's when the sparks flew. We have been dating ever since and he just proposed! Oh Gin, please say you're happy!" Hermione smiled at Ginny. "All I have to say is, when's the wedding! Oh how could I not be happy for you! It is a bit odd though, I mean, you and..and….Malfoy but I'll accept it." Ginny replied. Hermione practically flew over the table just to hug Ginny. The girls hugged and then their food arrived. They ate happily just catching up on old times when Ginny remembered what she wanted to talk about.
"Oh! Hermione, do you still keep in touch with Harry?" She inquired. Hermione stopped moving, but then took a bite of asparagus. "Well Gin, of course I do, we were best friends in school. Why do you ask?"
Ginny blushed slightly. "Well, I'd been wondering where he went off to, and how his life is going. I was going to plan a get together for the four of us. So we could, you know, catch up on old times and clear up the new." Hermione smiled, and took another bite of food. "Gin, what got you started on Harry? If you want I'll write his address out, you could owl him if you want." Hermione stared quizzically at Ginny. "Oh well of course I want it! I was just wanting to see him and the group back together again." Hermione took a quill from her purse and a napkin from the table. She quickly scribbled out Harry's name and address and passed the napkin to Ginny. Ginny smiled and nodded and put it in her back pocket. The two ate the rest of their lunch talking of Hermione's wedding.
As soon as the girls had finished lunch, they walked outside into busy street of Diagon Alley. They promised to write and schedule another lunch, in which of course, Draco would be accompanying Hermione. They hugged once more, and then, the youngest Weasley apparated back to her flat, to find an owl waiting at her window. But this was no ordinary owl, it was snow white with larger amber eyes.
