(A/N: ok, people, I'm apologizing once again for my lack of updates… there is really no excuse other than my writers block… but that's not much of an excuse either… ah well! Ok, I am FAST approaching the spot where I will need to start writing the story more. I've been typing up what I wrote in sixth grade… so you've probably noticed that it's not very good right now… ah well. Ok, well, ON with the update!)
Chapter 4
OH NOES!
"MOOGLE!" Ganatnat blurted out.
"Shut up! Silencio!" Hermione yelled.
Ganatnat's mouth continued to move but no sound emerged.
"THANK YOU HERMIONE!" everyone exclaimed.
BAM!
"YOU FREAKING IDIOT! YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT!" a girl's voice screamed.
"I KNOW THAT VOICE! AMBAH!" Nat yelled.
"Yeah, it's me, you damn idiot! Will you come in here and help me!" Amber yelled.
"Everyone went into the living room and saw a very humorous sight. Amber was stuck in a fire-poker bin and Michael was trying desperately to get her out.
"OMG AMBER! HAHAHA!" Kevin laughed.
"Oh, you just wait until I get out! I'll kick your ass! And what is up with Ganatnat?" Amber asked.
"She got annoying so I silenced her," Hermione answered.
"No, I figured that, but she's signing something. G-I-V-E-M-E-M-Y-V-O-I-C-E-B-A-C-K. Give me my voice back. GIVE IT BACK YOU DAMN WITCH!"
"Fine then, no need to get snappish!" Hermione flicked her wand and Ganatnat's voice returned.
"I SEE A TIME TURNER!" Ganatnat lunged forward and grabbed a small gold hourglass off of the table.
"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Hermione screamed, but it was too late. Time started going backwards and, when it stopped, they were all standing on a bare piece of grass.
"Ummm… WHOOPS!" Ganatnat said.
Before Hermione could round on her again, a girl's voice out of nowhere inquired, "Where the heck am I and what am I doing here?"
"How the hell did she get here?" Mari asked
"Ginny must've gotten looped in the time circle. I don't know how, though," Hermione explained.
"Where am I?" Ginny repeated.
"Umm, you're probably twenty-ish years in the past where The Burrow will be," Hermione said.
"Umm, peoples, where is Natie?" Ganatnat asked.
Natalie Miles was, indeed, nowhere to be seen.
