:-) Hope you guys liked the last chapter, here's number two... Oh, and we don't own HP... We'd write a cooler disclaimer but we're not up to the effort... haha...
After sending the letter to Harry, Ginny flopped back down on her bed, smashing multiple sketches and letters from friends as she did so. Picking up her diary and leafing through it with an expression of pure boredom was probably the most exciting thing she did through the next hour, so we'll move our story along to lunch time...
"Ginny, sweetie, lunch time!" her mother called. "And hurry up, the rest of the family is waiting for you!"
"Yeah, yeah..." Ginny grumbled, and stomped moodily down the stairs to join the family for an excellent lunch.
"Did you wash your hands?" her mother demanded as soon as she set foot in the kitchen.
"Um.. yes." Ginny lied, quie uunconvincingly.
"Let me see your hands then!" Molly Weasley grabbed her daughter's hands and turned them palm up. They were inkstained from the letter to Harry, which already seemed so long ago, and had small cuts along them from her multiple midnight wanderings. Tsking loudly, she sent her daughter back upstairs to wash her hands.
"But muuumm!"
"No, go wash your hands dear, then you can eat!" Molly quickly cut off her complaints and then turned to Ron. "Ron sweetie, have you heard from Harry lately? Or Hermione? To see when they're coming to visit?"
Ron mumbled something around the large amount of food in his mouth as Molly sat down and Ginny stomped back upstairs. His mum gave him THE look (-shudder-) and he swallowed quickly.
"I said that I've heard from Mione, and she'll be here in a few weeks, but I'm not sure when Harry's coming..." He repeated meekly.
"Haven't you talked to Harry at ALL?"
"Well, yes, but--"
Ginny cut him off, stepping back into the kitchen, "I have mum! He says he'll probably be here in the next few weeks, if it's alright with you of course!"
Molly beamed. Harry had always been somewhat of a son to her and Arthur, ever since they had met him getting onto Platform 9 3/4. "Of course it's alright with me dear, and I want one of you lot to send him a letter as soon as you can telling him. Now," she continued, digging into her lunch. "We can eat."
About ten minutes later, Ginny was back in her room, writing a letter to Hermione, when Griffin soared back through her open window. "There you are!" She exclaimed happily, and stroked her owl's head lovingly. "Have you got a nice letter from Harry?" she continued, taking the roll of parchment from his leg. Griffin hooted softly and flew back into his cage as soon as the letter was undone. Ginny poured him some fresh water while breaking the seal on it, and sat down at her desk to read it:
Hey Gin!
Nice to FINALLY hear from you! I feel like it's been forever since I've heard from you, when really it's only been a few weeks... You guys REALLY need to learn how to use a telephone, I mean honestly. Or should I say "fellytone"... Haha I'm just foolin with ya mate.
So we're agreed on stuffing Ron & Hermione into a closet together when I get there? ...I just got a letter from Ron saying it was alright to come this early, so I suppose I'll see you in about a week.. So anyway, we have to find a nice, SMALL closet for them... Who knows, it's actually very possible you'll be an aunt by the time we let them out... Heh. And yes, you were right, I was making very ugly faces while reading that part of your letter... Haha
I can't wait to see you all again!!! It's only been a few weeks, I know... Hmph... Well, Auntie is calling me to come help with the dishes... Ugghhh... I'll see you in a week Gin... Oh, and don't bother sending Pig or Griffin back today, I'm sure they're tired, and besides, I'm going to be stuck doing chores for the rest of the day. Sounds fun, doesn't it? Well, I'll see you in a week, and talk to you soon!
Love,
Harry
ps- What have you been sketching so much of, by the way?? I'm just curious :-)
Ginny smiled as she scanned his letter. She could always count on Harry to cheer her up... And he had signed the letter "Love" again... Sighing happily, Ginny inserted his newest letter between the pages of her diary, next to the older one. She felt a little bit stalker-ish saving his letters, but hey... She put her diary back under the mattress, and scooped up the armfulls of junk resting on her bed. She threw it all on the floor, into the rest of the clutter, and dove onto her bed, snuggling under fluffy blankets... Then realized it was only about 3:00 in the afternoon and she was already in bed. She sprang off of her comfortable mattress almost as if it had burned her, and went skipping down the hallway.
"Rrrooooonnn!!" She called in a singsong voice.
"Whaaat?" Ron stuck his head out of his bedroom door, his copper hair sticking up on one side and a very disgruntled look on his face. Ginny stopped dead and looked at him. "I'm bored." She announced, almost happily. Ron rolled his eyes and stepped back into his room, slamming his door behind him. He opened it again a second later. "Go play with that cd player thing Dad got you." And with that, her lanky brother disappeared once again back into his room.
"Cd player? Oh ... Yeah.. That actually sounds fun.." Ginny said to herself, and went back up to her room. Opening a large drawer on her desk, she pulled a small, silver, round thing out and set it on the floor. She stared at it. And poked it with her foot. She eventually started making faces at it, hoping it would od something, but then remembered what her dad said. She needed "headphones"... Digging around in her drawer a little bit more, she pulled out a silver and blue pair that would circle around the back of her head to her ears. She spent a few seconds poking the end into random holes on the little silver "CD Player" until she found one that it fit into. She examined it for a second more, thinking it looked somewhat like a torture device she had seen in a book once, before she slipped the headphones over her ears and proceeded to press buttons. When it didn't do anything, she stared at it crossly and poked it again. Finally, with a resigned sigh, she grabbed the little instruction book her dad had also given her. You know, it probably would've been smarter to do that FIRST... Oh well... she thought to herself and pressed the button that the pamphlet had designated as "Power". She gave a small jump as loud heavy metal music coursed through the headphones, and quickly turned the little knob marked "Tuner" until she found some type of music she liked. Hey, she thought to herself, THis is actually sorta fun! Grabbing it off the floor, Ginny started dancing goofily around the room with the cd player clutched in her hand. She spent a few hours like this, occassionally turning the Tuner knob to listen to something else. By the time she collapsed back onto her bed, worn out from all her jumping, she had decided she rather liked this Cd player thing. Her father had also said it connected to the radio, if you didn't have any music on disks, and she suspected that's what she had been listening to. With a bit of a giggle, Ginny took the headphones from her ears and set all of her "equipment" on her desk. "WHEEEEEEE!!" she said, twirling around her room, with a song stuck in her head.
"What are you, WASTED?!" Came a voice from her doorway. Ginny gave a small squeak, and tripped over a large pile of text books while trying t twist around to see who it was. Harry entered her room, laughing loudly. "Well, that proves it," he said, offering her a hand to help her up. "You are."
Ginny gaped at him in amazement. "I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T GONNA BE HERE TILL NEXT WEEK!" she squealed, taking his hand and hugging him enthusiastically. "Yeah well.. G-Ginny you're.. choking me.." Harry gasped out. Ginny grinned sheepishly and loosened her grip on him.
"It was sorta gonna be a surprise for you, I was coming today all along," he explained, grinning widely. Ginny smiled back, as Harry wandered over to her desk and picked up her newest object of amusement. "Ron said there had been a lot of crashes and horrible screeching noises coming from your room for a while..." He said, fighting back a smile and raising both eyebrows. "I'm guessing this is the cause?"
Ginny glared at him in mock indignation. "You are sssooooo dead Potter!" she managed to say between giggles, and chased him out of her room.
