"Oh, hey Ginny." said Timothy smoothly. "What's up?"
Ginny stood up, "Hey Timothy. Not much. I was just sending that letter to-"
"Listen, I need to ask you something." Timothy cut in. Ginny glared for a moment, coming up with a few good hexes.
"Actually, Timothy, can I ask you something? And you have to answer it, no matter what." Ginny said, still trying to be casual.
Timothy looked wary, so apparently 'casual' was over.
"Timothy, where did you used to live?" Ginny interrogated.
Timothy looked mildly surprised. "What?"
Ginny stared him down, and Timothy added, "Oh, like before Hogwarts?"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Obvioulsy."
Timothy sat down, and Ginny followed suit.
"Uh, well, my parents died last year, but before they did, we used to travel all the time."
Ginny's eyebrows rose. "Really? Oh, sorry about your parents," she added meekly.
He rose his hand and shook his head. "No, don't be. It was a while ago. Anyway, since we traveled alot, I heard alot about various people. In particular, Harry Potter. Then I wrote to Luna, 'cuz I heard that she knew him."
"What did she tell you?" Ginny asked innocently.
Timothy smiled. "Nothing. Well, besides his hair color. Figures, I ask Luna! So, I figured I will have to wait until I get to Hogwarts to meet him. And then, this year, my first year, he wasn't there." He looked disappointed.
Ginny gaped, "You're only a first year?"
He laughed, "No, but this was my first year at Hogwarts. Technically, I'm a fourth year."
Ginny blushed, seeing the pieces fitting together.
But she still had one more question...
But Timothy interupted her thoughts, "So, is this sudden interrogation done with, or do I need my lawyer?"
Ginny smiled briefly, but continued, "Why do you want to know about Neville?"
Timothy's face fell, and he quickly stood up. At first Ginny was about to hex him, but then she heard a voice at the door.
"It's ok Tim, go ahead. Otherwise she'll hex you." said Shaklebolt.
