~Chapter 2~

Ginny stopped dead in her tracks on the staircase. She felt as if her feet were glued to the floor permanently. 'Oh this looks real good' she thought gloomily. She looked down at her feet when she heard his voice,

"Hello!" said Harry.

Even with the comforting greeting she had just received, she still was unable to speak, nonetheless move. Finally, she took in a slow and deep breath and descended the stairs towards the kitchen. Although, what she really wanted to do was run back up into her room and scream at the top of her lungs. The best thing to do, she decided, was to make small conversation.

"H…h…hi" was all Ginny could manage to say.

As Ginny was blushing, Ron looked at his friend and whispered something into his ear.

("She hasn't stopped talking about you ever since she learned your name. It's always Harry this, or Harry that." Harry smirked and whispered back, "I can't imagine what that feels like. I don't know what to say." "Then don't" Ron replied.)

To Ginny it seemed as if they were talking about her because somehow she knew they were. It was either because she knew her brother or the fact that they made sly glances towards her and smiled. Or there was another chance that she was able to read their thoughts.

'Wouldn't that be an awesome power to have. Then I would always know what everyone was thinking,' Ginny thought to herself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ginny realized her mind had wandered off into her dreams, she snapped herself back into reality. The reality of herself being in her kitchen with Harry Potter sitting at the table. She was still amazed by this and couldn't think. She moved around the small area, trying to keep her mind occupied and off of him. He always seemed to cloud her thoughts and now he was physically there. What was she to do?

Mrs. Weasly came into the kitchen not a moment too soon. Ginny immediately offered to lend a hand with anything. She needed to keep busy. Even if it meant making breakfast. At this point, she really didn't care. All Ginny really wanted to do was be as far from Harry as possible.

After breakfast, when everything was cleaned and put away, Mrs. Weasly announced that the family and Harry would be taking a trip to Diagon Alley, to get the school supplies they needed for the new school year.

All the letters were sent that morning from the Head Master Dumbledore indicating what books they would require. Harry's letter was included.

"He never misses a thing," said Percy groggily. Percy was one of the oldest and going into his sixth year at Hogwarts.

"All right, everyone go get dressed and ready. I want to leave within the hour" stated Mrs. Weasly to all of the children.

Ron led Harry to his room and Ginny just ran upstairs into hers, before she was even noticed. Although Harry did see her scurry off in a hurry.

When she reached her room she let out a great sigh of relief. Her heart was beating so fast it felt as if it would come shooting out of her chest. It frightened Ginny a little but she wasn't all too worried. She knew the reason was because of Harry. It was a secret crush that she had acquired of him since the first day she saw him. It was his mysteriousness that caught her eye. And from that moment on, he was all of her thoughts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About an hour or so later, Mrs. Weasly called to everyone in the house to get downstairs at once. Her tone was not as nice as it normally was, due to the fact that she was on edge about getting all the supplies for all of the children. Since she was doing more than she usually did. (This year she had Harry and Ginny to worry about).



"We'll be going by floo powder to make the trip shorter," said Mrs. Weasly.

"But Mum, Harry has never traveled by floo powder before" Ron stated before Harry could comment.

"Oh, well then. It's quite simple dear. All you have to do is take some of this powder like so. Drop it into the fireplace and scream where you want to go. But you want to be sure to speak very clearly otherwise you will end up in the wrong place."

"Watch me, Harry," declared Ron.



Ron took some floo powder into his hand and threw it into the empty fireplace. He shouted, "DIAGON ALLEY" and a green flame appeared as Ron disappeared. Harry was amazed. He had never seen anything like it.

"Ok Harry, now you try," stated Mrs. Weasly, passing him the bowl of floo powder.

Harry did exactly as he saw Ron do. Only when he shouted out the name, it didn't sound as it was supposed to. What they heard was "DIAGON ILLY." Mrs. Weasly looked at her other children and sighed.

"I told him to speak clearly."

Ginny looked at the empty fireplace where Harry was just standing and tried to hold back her laughter. What he said had sounded funny, but at the same time when she had arrived in Diagon Alley where Ron was, Harry was nowhere to be found.

A/N: Ok, I hope you enjoyed that. It was longer than the first chapter, but still ends with a little cliff hanger. Sorry, that's just how I am. Can't help it. Too many shows leave me disappointed that I leave you to be with a chapter without a conclusion…..Guess that's why it has chapters. Please review and tell me what you think.
