Next day. Career Advice Day.

October 31st-Halloween

Ginny woke up that Monday feeling quite better. The pain had subsided and only gave a twitch. She'd have to use some more of the cream so the twitch would be gone by afternoon.

Sitting up on her bed, she noticed her roommates were still asleep and used the opportunity to enjoy the bathroom alone without annoying giggles, frog voices and squeals.

When she was done, she put on her uniform and put her hair in a high ponytail, with strands framing her delicate face.

She put some lip gloss on her lips and mascara on her lashes to make them even more longer and she left the room with her bag, deciding to stay in the common room since it was still early. She had no idea why she woke that early but she would use the opportunity to study her Occlumency. The book did say that when she was getting accustomed to the meditation, she would sleep better and wake up at early hours easier.

She settled on a sofa next to the fireplace and read for the next 30 minutes, watching some students go out the door.

She soon followed as well, waving at Colin and Neville.

She got to the great hall and sat down for a sport of breakfast when a giddy Luna sat next to her beaming.

"Well someone's excited this morning, looking forward to the career talk?"

Ginny asked Luna who nodded.

"Why yes I am, but that isn't why I'm this happy Ginny. Where have you been, I've been waiting for you… anyways, I met with Draco last night and he asked me to be his girlfriend!"

She squealed lowly and I gasp.

"WHAT?!"

I bellowed out and people turned to stare at us but I ignore them still in shock.

Luna shhed me.

"shh! No one knows yet, it'll be quite fun for them to see us together won't it?"

She giggled.

"how did it happen?!"

"oh well he was really concerned about what happened yesterday and a lot of things were said and he admitted his feelings and before you know it, he asked me out"

"wow"

"right? I'm really glad. And if it hadn't been for you it wouldn't have happened this fast, or even ever! So thanks bestie"

She hugged me sideways and I smiled a bit before hesitating.

"Luna, you do know that whatever's between Blaise and I isn't real, right?"

Ginny said down heartened and Luna smiled a bit, holding her hand.

"for now, maybe. But I just have a feeling that you guys are good for each other, and even if it isn't the truth, you never know what kind of friendship would blossom from it"

I nodded at her words. They spoke the truth after all. And with that, she thanked Luna and they continued on their breakfast.

Soon they were trotted off for their career talk. The 4 heads of house not having any class that morning and so they used their class which was connected to their office.

McGonagall using the transfiguration class, Snape using his potions lab, Flitwick using his charms class and Sprout using her herbology theory class.

The Gryffindor students entered into the transfiguration class and was told to settle down.

"Morning students. As you know this is your career talk session. The last one we'll be having with you before NEWTs. We might have another with you all after if there's an opportunity. Every student will have exactly 5-10 minutes with me and will be called in alphabetically. You'll have your sessions today and whatever career you have in mind will determine the NEWTs you've all decided to take, if you can take them and if the career is also in line with your OWLs result bear in mind. Okay, we'll start with—"

The talk started and Ginny brought out her Wandless magic book to read. As she looked around as students were called in, she saw the golden trio together, Hermione gushing about something, she saw Dean flirting with Dora Martins who giggled and Ginny rolled her eyes. Isn't he dating that Ravenclaw girl Li Su?

She turned to see Colin chatting with Stephanie and smiled. Good to see they were still talking and she wasn't following that bitch Nancy's advice.

Neville was talking with Seamus, Lavender and Parvati.

Ginny chose the seat at the back so no one would disturb her. She wanted a bit of quiet from the dramas that had been happening in her life.

Soon, McGonagall had reached alphabet 'T'. It had been past an hour now and students had left. Hermione decided to wait for Ron while Harry had hurriedly left. No doubt to go look for that bitch, Chang.

The class had thinned out and she knew the talk was ending by 12 so they could have lunch and continue with classes. She wasn't having a class after lunch but had her Ancient Runes club instead.

She yawned, bored as more names were called.

Wandless magic is more of the intent. Clearing one's mind and focusing on what you want to do. It doesn't have to do with the words we speak when trying to cast with wands. Its more to do with intent, I want this book to come to me, will it come? You have to free your mind, be focused on what you want to do. That's why Occlumency Is needed. At the same time, just because you are adept at Occlumency doesn't mean you will be adept at wandless magic. You have to strive for it, not want to give up. You'll force your core to adapt. Stretch like you're about to die. That's why not much people decide to learn it. Notable people who are known to have some ability of wandless magic are; Merlin, Nicholas Flamel, Albus Dumbledore, Baek Lee Yung, Adrian Alfonsi amongst others.

"Weasley Ginevra"

Ginny looked up from her book as she was called in by McGonagall. She quickly backed her bag, holding her book and walking in.

"Settle down miss Weasley, and I hope you haven't been getting into any fights lately as well"

She asked sternly and Ginny smiled.

"no professor, I've been a model student!"

McGonagall snorted under her breathe and mumbled something like 'just like the twins'

"Indeed. Now, how have your classes been?"

"they've been great professor, no setbacks whatsoever"

McGonagall nodded in approval.

"good to hear. Now, during your 5th year, you expressed interest in quidditch being the career you want to focus on?"

"yes, but I've actually changed my mind professor"

McGonagall looked at her curiously.

"Indeed? Explain Miss Weasley"

"I'm actually focusing on Curse Breaking right now. I've always been interested in ancient runes and arithmancy and my grades are a proof of that. Adding also that I joined the ancient runes club in my 4th year. I've gotten in touch with Bill and he's sent the necessary books for me to learn introductorily from. It was actually one of my main careers before quidditch to be honest"

McGonagall stared at her in mild surprise then approval and gave her a small smile.

"A wise decision on your side Miss Weasley. I look forward to hearing great things about you. I checked your courses for NEWTs and they are a reasonable choice as well, keep up the good work and if you have any questions, you're welcome to my office any time"

Ginny smiled gratefully at her.

"Thank you professor."
