Hermione's Diary
It has been exactly one week since Ginny was released from the hospital wing, a very hectic week. I honestly have no idea where that girl gets her energy, for goodness sake; she jumps on everyone as a 'greeting'! It's been even worse for the past two days because her family is coming today. She has apparently never been away from her family for more than the required eight hours for her old school. It's rather odd; Ginny doesn't act as an eleven year old. I mean she's really attached and dependent on her family, it's almost like she's six or something. I wonder what made her act that way, but then again she always acts younger than she really is. She runs around, jumps on everyone, and even plays pranks on everyone, even the Weasley twins. The only thing that convinces me that she is eleven is her remarkable intelligence. She knows as much as me in magical and non-magical subjects! Oh, Ginny's coming, got to go!
Hermione Granger
"Mione!" a girlish voice cried out, followed by a tiny red-head with penetrating green eyes. Hermione took in her friend's child like appearance. It was Saturday so they were allowed to wear whatever they wanted. She was wearing a white spaghetti strapped shirt with red flowers and a red bow tied around, with white Capri pants. Her hair was down, like always, and was usually in natural ringlets, not curls but ringlets, but not today. She had charmed Fred and George's hair green and silver and so that had made her straight and put black streaks in, right in time for her family's visit. Her sparkling green eyes landed on Hermione lying down on her stomach and her face broke into a wide smile. Hermione recognized that smile a little too late and before she could stop her, Ginny tackled her.
"Ginny!" Hermione cried out in exasperation, "Don't you know any better ways to greet someone!" Ginny merely laughed as she rolled off of her, grabbing her hand and running down the stairs, yelling at her to hurry up. Hermione would have asked why they had run all the way down to the common room but couldn't find her voice. Professor Dumbledore stood in the middle of the common room, Harry, Ron, and Ginny already by his side.
"What's going on?" she asked tentatively. They hadn't done anything against the rules or laws yet so what was wrong? Dumbledore smiled and told them to follow him to his office. Ginny followed happily enough, practically skipping out of the room but the others were a little more cautious. After all, they were asked to go to the headmaster's office, something even the twin's avoided.
"Sherbet Lemon," professor Dumbledore calmly stated towards the stone gargoyle, as if it were a perfectly normal matter. Harry was ready for it, but Hermione and Ron gave a quick start when the gargoyle jumped out of the way to reveal a long spiraling staircase.
"After you my dears," Dumbledore smiled pleasantly, allowing the children to make their way to the staircase before moving himself, allowing the gargoyle to jump back into place. Ginny skipped happily along, closely followed by Harry, Ron, Hermione, and then finally Dumbledore, all following at a noticeably slower pace.
Ginny came to the large oak door and promptly stopped, looking back to Dumbledore in an expectant way. She had been obviously raised to allow elders to enter first. Dumbledore smiled and stepped forward, lightly twisting the handle. The door opened up slowly, revealing ten extremely dazzling faces, all staring expectantly at the door.
Sorry it's so late and soo short! I had a lot of things to do and not a lot of time on the computer. Lame excuse but I will try to make the next chapter really long and interesting!
