Chapter Two

They both looked at each other, wondering what he could be doing. "They ought to fire him! And another thing, who's going to be the new Head Master? I hope they lay off Snape. How could he! Ummm... Maybe they ought to just let Proffesor McGonagall be the head of our school. But you never know with Hogwarts, you never know." Hermione smiled.

Ginny's old portrait from when she was 12 was giggling madly at her. "What is so funny?" Ginny asked her younger self's picture. She fell to the ground. "You really are naive" the younger Ginny giggled.

Hermione and Ginny shared looks again before turning back to the picture. "I know something you don't know!" the younger Ginny was dancing wildly around. Rolling her eyes, Hermione attempted to pull the picture off the wall, but she hopped into another picture in the house.

"Honestly!" Hermione cried as she chased the girl in the pictures. "What the?" Fred and George said together as Hermione came flying past them, followed by Ginny. "I'll get her! Bloody Picture!" Ginny was trying to grab at the picture on the wall.

Mrs. Weasley was shooting questioning looks at them. Harry and Ron roared with laughter. Tonks came through the door. Sighing, she pulled out her wand, and noticed what they were doing, stunned the picture with her in it. "Stupefy!" she cried and the 12 year old girl stayed in mid-air, her mouth hanging open.

Smiling her thanks, Hermione grabbed the picture off the wall and brought her upstairs. "Ok you" she whispered, thinking the counter curse for the stunning spell. She started giggling again and then relized she couldn't move paintings.

"Hey!"

"What is so funny! Tell us!" Hermione held her wand up threatingly.

"OK OK!"

"What is it!"

"McGonagall couldn't see me, but I over heard." Young Ginny smiled and giggled again.

Hermione just poked her wand at the painting. The younger Ginny continued. "Ball again! For Christmas! And Valentines, and Halloween, and basically every other important holiday. OK! Can I leave?" Lifting her wand, Hermione glared at the portrait, but handed it to Ginny to put back up on the wall.

They sat in silence. A few minutes later, Harry came in. "Hey, Tonks brought over her cousin. Her names-" But he cut off. Looking at them, he decided not to ask. He just walked away. Hermione was smiling. "Hey, you get to go with Ron, right?." Ginnygrinned. "Maybe..."

"Let's go meet Tonk's cousin" Ginny said. Hermione got up and wandered out of their room.
