This story takes place after Ginny's first year.

Ginny stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her skin was still pale, her hair limp around her narrow face. Frowning she pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail. She glared when the hairstyle change didn't seem to help. Sighing, she looked away from the mirror. She still hadn't quite recovered from last year.

"This year will be different, will be better," she promised herself. Giving the mirror one last glare, she grabbed her bag and headed downstairs for breakfast.
