I dont own any of this... wish I could say I was J.K. Rowling's but I'm not. I only own my idea...

Chapter 1

In the Weasley's forest, sitting in a tall oak tree, sits a beautiful, young, woman with long wavy bloody red hair, heart shaped face, full pink lips and the most mysterious eyes. At first glance many would think she has dull brown eyes, but at closer glance they are honey brown with silver and green specks honed in her bottomless eyes. There in the tree sits none other than Ginerva Weasley. I love this place... it's so free… I'm going to miss this place when I go to Hogwarts. Oh I can't believe I'm starting my last year! When Ron finds out I'm taking 7th year with him, he's going to throw a fit! Serves him right, god he can be infuriating! One of these times I'm going to-

Ginny was broke out of mid-rant by a stag and yearling coming into the clearing just below. Instinctively Ginny grabbed her necklace…


-Flashback-
Lying in bed Ginny started up that the ceiling counting down the seconds before she turns 9. Three… two… one Happy Birthday to ME! With a grin on her young face she drifted off to sleep thinking of all the gifts she will receive in the morning.

Walking in a forest, much like the one at the Weasley house. Ginny follows a trail unsure as to where it goes, but knows there's something she needs at the end. Coming to a clearing Ginny sees a beautiful woman, who smiles and waves Ginny forward.

"Come my child, I have a gift for you." beckons the mysterious woman.

Going near Ginny stops. Mum always said not to talk to strangers. But she has a gift for me; it would be rude not to take it. "Who are you?"

"I am a friend, come to me Diana."

Only two feet away from the mysterious woman, Ginny goes to her. The unknown woman put a single necklace around Ginny's neck and whispers, "Never take this off, it will protect you."


-End of Flashback-
Looking down at pure silver bow and arrow necklace Ginny wonders the thoughts that are always running through her mind. Who was she? Why did she give this to me? Why did she call me Diana? Why? Oh bloody hell! I give up trying to figure it out! Just then the sun shown in Ginny's eyes reminding her she needs to get back to the Burrow before everyone wakes up. Trying not to spook the stag and yearling, slowly she climbs down the tree and works her way out of the clearing. Working her way through the thick forest bed, Ginny faintly hears her mum yelling for her to come in. Breaking into a run she makes her way out of the forest.

Mrs. Weasley sees Ginny come out of the forest goes back into the house to finish breakfast. I know why she goes into that forest but I'll never understand how she can go there everyday and never get bored… but she's always so happy there. I wonder if she knows… I don't think I can ever tell her!

"Mum, is breakfast ready?" questions a slightly breathless Ginny.

"In a few minutes dear. Harry and Hermione just arrived, remember they will be joining us at Diagonally."

"Yes, I remember. I'm going to go get washed up, alright mum."

"Alright dear, but hurry you know your brothers."

Ginny smiles and leaves the kitchen. She was immediately greeted by all the Weasley boys, Harry and Hermione at the dining room table waiting for the food to be served.

"Oi! Gin, where were ya?" chimes Ron

"Honestly Ron, where does she always go in the morning?" chases Charlie

"You were in the forest again, buggar, are you ever going to grow out of that?"

Ginny grins, her secret and knowing grin, at her brother, "Hey Harry, Hermione. I'm so glad to see you both," hugging each in turn. "Well I'll be right back down in a few."

Running up to the loo, Ginny decides to take a quick shower.

Feeling the warm water cascading down her back Gin remembers the meeting she had with Dumbledore at the end of her 5th year.


-Flashback-
Ginny sits in Dumbledore's office waiting for him to show. Professor McGonagall told her the headmaster would like a word with her, so now she sits here waiting, for more than half an hour. Just when she was ready to leave the doors open and in walks the headmaster.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting my dear, but I had to get a few signatures. I'm sure you understand. Lemondrop?" asks Dumbledore with the all too familiar twinkle in his eyes.

"No thank you sir, but I don't understand why I am here." Ginny pushes a little trying to keep him on track.

"Didn't Minerva tell you?" After seeing Ginny's look of bewilderment, Dumbledore grins and the twinkle in his eyes brighten, for he gets to be the one to tell her the good news. "Ginny you are going to be transferred into 7th year next term. Your O.W.L.'s were so impressive, and your grades were far ahead of any 5th year we've had at Hogwarts. Because of that every single one of the professors and myself have decided to have you transferred. That is alright with you isn't?"

Ginny knows it really isn't a question more of a statement but she nods anyways. "Wait, does that mean I did better than Hermione?" I couldn't do better than the know-it-all could I?

"Yes, you where quit a few marks higher than our Ms. Granger." Smiled Dumbledore knowingly. "All I need is your signature here, and next term you will be joining the 7th years."


-End of Flashback-
Deciding that maybe she should get downstairs, Ginny turns the water off and quickly gets dressed. When Ginny arrives in the dinning room, breakfast was just being.

"Geez Gin, take long enough?" asks Bill as Gin sits in her usual place between him and Charlie.

"Mum wouldn't let us start 'til you got down here!" states Charlie with a grin on his face.

Ginny pokes her tongue out at her oldest brothers.

Charlie drawls "Very mature."

"I try, I really do," grins Ginny as she started pilling food onto her plate.

Everyone's chattering about the upcoming term, and Quidditch. Soon enough Pig flies in with the mail.

"Alright you lot here's your letters," shouts Mr. Weasley over all the chatter.

"Oi, Harry look at this Snape's makin' us get new cauldrons," exclaims Ron.

"Honestly Ronald, do shut up. Oh look, I made Head Girl," exclaims Hermione, even though everyone already knew she would make it.

"Good on ya Hermione, besides we knew you'd get it, always going on about 'you two need to study if your ever going to become Auras," says Ron trying to imitate Hermione, but failing horribly.

Harry rolls his eyes at the argument that was about to start, but honestly Snape was making them get a new cauldron that's down right outrageous, and two at that… Honestly we already new Hermione was going to get Head Girl, she was the only one who didn't.

Ginny laughs at the trio's faces at seeing the new list of things they'd need. Ginny hasn't opened her letter yet, because she know what already written inside. Suddenly Charlie grabs her letter and opens it.

"Oi, give that back!" yells Ginny, making a grab for the letter.

"Why's your so much thicker than theirs?" the twins asks in perfect unison.

Charlie opens it and a small bag fell out, Ginny grabs it before anyone else notices. Wide eyed Charlie states, "Gin's been transferred to 7th year! Bloody Hell Gin how'd ya do that?"

At the mention of Ginny transferring to 7th year everyone at the table stops talking and crowds round Charlie to get a better look at the letter.

"Well, Dumbledore said I had higher marks on my O.W.L.'s than anyone's ever had at Hogwarts so it was a unanimous decision to have me transferred. Besides I was in all the advance class as it was," whispers Ginny, pretending she wasn't trying to brag, inside though she was shouting Ha! Take that, you stupid know-it-all, I'm smarter than you! And you my family, you always thought me 'little Ginny' well I've grown up! It's about time you see it! I so need a camera, the looks on all your faces…oh it's priceless!

"Ginny, we're so proud of you!" shouts Mrs. Weasley as she hugs her only daughter.

Soon everyone was hugging her, except Hermione who was looking at her, all the while trying to figure out something.

"What's wrong Hermione?" asks Harry softly, "You look like your trying to figure out some deep dark secret."

Probably just hit her that she's not the smartest student at Hogwarts anymore…

"How? I mean your marks couldn't really be that high. In Hogwarts A History the highest marks you could get were only 13 marks higher than mine. No one's ever got that close. Before me was Tom Riddle who was 6 marks lower than myself. How did you do it Gin? You never study!" asks a very confused and jealous Hermione

"Yea Gin, how'd ya do it?" Ron beams with pride. Maybe I could get her to do my homework for me! I am after all family…

"Well Hermione looks like you're not the smartest girl at Hogwarts anymore, beside if you really paid attention you'd know that you're not the only one who surpassed Tom Riddle this last year. Draco Malfoy was only two marks below you, so you really should shut your mouth. Besides I've never needed to study, I only need to hear a spell once, or do a potion once, and be able to remember it. Hermione you're not the only one who's smart in this room, let alone world, you really should remember that." With that, Ginny leaves the room and goes to the fireplace with the letter from Hogwarts and the money the Headmaster sent in the envelope in hand, "Mum, I'm going to Diagonally, I'll meet you at Flourish and Blott's in an hour."

"Ginny, dear will be leaving soon, are you sure you don't want to wait for us," Mrs. Weasley asks still in shock that her little girl had defiantly growing up in the last year.

"No mum! I'm going. Diagonally!" And she was gone.


The rest of the Weasley household is still in a state of shock. Their 'little Ginny' could first of all was smarter than Hermione, and second that she's being transferred to 7th year, and the main thought running through everyone's mind was, When did she grow up?

Hermione was the first to snap out of it. "Ok… well we best be off, shouldn't we Mrs. Weasley?"

"Hermione, are you alright?" asked Ron a little worried. This isn't the Hermione we all know… she looks so defeated, and enraged all at the same time. She's really quit pretty when she's like that…

"I'm fine Ron, lets just go," I don't believe it. How? I still don't understand how she can do that! It's not fair, I should be happy for her, but I'm not. Stupid Ginny! I will figure out how she does that if it's the last thing I do!

"Quit right you all, we really have a lot to do and not much time to do it. Alright you lot lets go." Mrs. Weasley ushers the trio out of the dining room to the fireplace. I hope Ginny cools down by the time we get there…
