Chapter 7:

Just as Ginny suspected, Diagon Alley was pretty crowded. People were shopping for their last minute Christmas presents. Ginny wandered into Flourish and Blotts, and looked around for nearly an hour. She bought a book of charms for Lily, and a new potions book for Hermione. When Ginny went to pay for the books, a flash of red hair caught her attention. Thinking it was one of her family members, she looked up. Instead, Ginny came face-to-face with the same startling green eyes as Harry and Lily. The woman looked at her. She looked exactly like Lily.

"Is something wrong?" she asked Ginny. Ginny suddenly came crashing back down to reality.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said. "You look like someone I know." Without saying anything else, Ginny left. She quickly paid for her books, and ran down to her brother's shop; which was only a few doors down.

"Fred! George! Where are you guys? I need to talk to you both!" announced Ginny as she entered their shop.

"Hey, Gin," Katie said from behind the cash register. She couldn't play Quidditch for a while, because she was six months pregnant, so she was working at the store. "What's wrong?" she asked. Sighing, Ginny placed her books on the counter.

"I just saw a woman that looks exactly like Lily," she told her sister-in-law.

"What about Lily?" George asked as he came down from upstairs.

"I just saw a woman in Flourish and Blotts that looks just like Lily, but only she's Harry's age."

Katie said, "Come to think of it, I saw a woman like that when I went to get ice cream last night."

"You know what your problems are?" asked George. Ginny rolled her yes, and leaned against the counter.

"This should be interesting," she told Katie, who nodded in agreement.

George continued, "You're." he pointed at Ginny. "Are working too hard, and thus sleep-deprived. And you…" he pointed at his wife. "Are hormonal."

"Call me 'hormonal' one more time, and you'll be sleep-deprived from sleeping on the couch until I have this baby."

"Good job, bro!" Fred called from the storage room behind the register. "Listen, Ginny, don't take this personally, I think that you're just imagining things."

Ginny sat on the counter, and spun around to the other side.

"Dammit, Fred!" she exclaimed. "Why won't you guys listen to me?" She slid to the floor, and followed her brothers into the storage room. George shoved a box into her arms.

"Make yourself useful," he said simply.

"You guys should be paying me for all the work I do here. Besides, you guys don't really own this shop."

"Of course we do," said George.

"Oh, yeah, than who made the original payment?" she asked.

Fred replied, "We did."

"With whose money?"

"Ours," both the twins said at exactly the same time.

"Who gave you the money?"

"That's a secret that we're taking to the grave," George said just before he left to unload to box he was carrying. Suddenly, he stopped in the doorway. "Um….Fred," he said. "Better apologize to our very forgiving sister and your equally forgiving wife before they hex us into the next century." Fred and Ginny joined George in the doorway. There, looking around was the young woman who looked like Lily.

A/N: Short, I know, but the next chapter is longer (didn't I say that last time, oh well). PROMISE! Lots happen in the next chapter!
