Previously in Chapter two;
"Ginny where were you?"
"We all missed you Ginny?"
"How's Harry?"
"You look freezing Ginny!"
"OMG, Ginny. What's that on your hand?"
One of her friends had spotted the beautiful engagement ring that laid so delicately on her small hand, and had quickly grabbed her hand and was examining the ring, while giving her involuntary thoughts about what the ring was like. All her other friends had also joined in on telling a Ginny what they thought.
"Oh it's just beautiful!"
"I wish I had a man like Harry!"
"So, is it an engagement ring?"
"When's the big day?"
"Oh, it's just gorgeous!"
Ginny's head was ringing with the voices of everybody and she was starting to get a headache. She stormed off to the dinner hall, much to her friends disappointments and found that she was yet again the centre of attention. I hope telling my family won't be this annoying, she thought!
It was very early on Saturday morning when Ginny Weasley decided to get ready for the day ahead of her. She was lying in bed, tired from a restless nights sleep, when she realised that sleep would no longer come to her. She reached over her bedside table, checked the alarm clock that read 5:00am and groaned. She had been awake all night thinking about her future with Harry. She was once again plunged into thought about her future when she stood and started to dress for the day. She pulled on a slim pair of jeans and a purple, comfortable looking jumper. She sat on the bottom of her bed and tied the laces of her trainers, while still thinking about Harry. She racked a comb through her beautiful, long flowing hair and tied it up into a high pony-tail. She grabbed her coat, headed out of the door and ran down the the stair case leading into the gryffindor common room were the fire was blazing happily. She pushed open the portrait hole absentmindedly and stepped through it, emerging into the stones castles corridors. She walked into the entrance hall and through to the great hall, as it was now 6:30am and sat down to eat breakfast, Harry still playing on her mind. She was quickly brought out of her mind palace, when a voice shouted to her across the great hall.
"Hey, Ginny!" It was Luna Lovegood. She had just stood up from the Ravenclaw table and was now approaching the Gryffindor table, sporting a beautifully coloured shell and pasta, homemade necklace and bracelet. She had now sat down next to Ginny and was taking a piece of toast. "How are you today Ginny?" She said in her mystical airy voice. Ginny had not noticed Luna had spoke again, due to her mind racing with different complicated thoughts and she didn't notice again until Luna shook her a little.
"What? Oh sorry Luna. What did you say?" Ginny replied, trying to look remotely interested.
"You must really have something big on your mind today, Ginny! I've never seen you so in thought. It's kinda like me when I think about the Crumple-Horned Snorkack. We've recently gathered even more information about -" But Ginny did not hear the rest as Luna's voice was over powered by a nearby Syltherin's, who was laughing and sniggering with her friends.
"Hey Weasley!" She shouted, her giggles escaping from her mouth, "I overheard some of your friends talking last night. They reckon your engaged to Harry Potter! Harry Potter? As if!" She turned back towards her friends and started giggling again, as Ginny turned as red as her hair. That's when Luna decided to talk again.
"I would just ignore them if I was you," She said dreamily, staring into her glass of pumpkin juice, "Congratulations by the way. Send my best to Harry when ever you see him again!" And with that, she stood up, skipped away and left through the great hall's main door. Ginny started eating her toast again, in a now depressing mood and sipped at her glass of pumpkin juice. She looked down at her watch, noticed it was now 7:00am and looked expectantly up at the ceiling, waiting for the owl post to arrive. Right on cue, only a couple of owls, due to the time in the morning, swooped down and delivered their letters to their recipients. A brown tawny old flew down and perched at the side of Ginny, a small parchment attacked to its leg. She removed the parchment, petted the owl and watched as it flew away into the distance. She opened the seal on the paper and saw the familiar scrawl of Harry's writing. This suddenly made a big grin appear over her face, and she began to read.
Sweetheart -
I'm coming to get you this morning at 9:30am. I'm flooing into Professor McGonagall's office. Shall we meet in the Gryffindor common room at the time above? I'm missing you Gin.
From Your Love,
Harry xx
Ginny smiled at the use of Sweetheart and folded the letter and placed it into the back pocket of her jeans. She finished her toast and pumpkin juice and was shortly joined by the group of her friends that had decided to sleep in as it was a weekend. She smiled to them as they sat down and started a conversation with them about their plans for the following day. Her friends agreed to come along with her to meet Harry so they could say goodbye to her. They laughed and talked and Ginny watched as they ate their breakfast, occasionally joining into the conversation they were currently having about N.E. . After breakfast they made their way back to the Gryiffindor common room and sat down to a game of exploding snap, while Ginny and her friend Helena finished off their homeworks, as their were both leaving to see their families this weekend. Ginny looked down at her watch, it was now 9:00am. Harry would be here in half an hour. She was so excited to see him. She looked back at her homework and began to write about the improper uses of wormweed in potions. She had already wrote a parchment and a half, and by the time she finished, she had wrote a whole two parchments. It was now ten minutes until Harry would be here.
"I don't understand why Professor would give us this much homework!" Her friend Helena complained, banging the table in frustration. Ginny smiled, she two didn't understand the need for this much homework, even if it was their N.E. year.
"Especially since potions isn't even remotely interesting!" Ginny said laughing, imitating her friends frustrated bang of the table. Helena joined in with Ginny's giggles and played a frustrated look on their faces. This made Ginny laugh even more and she complained again in a mock like manner, "Potions is a completely boring subject that makes my head hurt!" Helena laughed even more than before.
"So why did you pick it this year, Gin?" It was Harry's voice. He was early. This made Ginny smile and she leapt up from her chair and ran into Harry's arms, still laughing from Helena's jokes. She grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him into the spare chair next to her and Helena. Everyone in the common room was staring and even her friends were blushing from the fact that Harry Potter was in their common room. Everyone except Helena, as she had meet him before.
"Hello Harry!" She greeted, smiling nicely.
"Hello Helena," He replied, smiling equally nicely, "How are you?"
"Fine thank you, Harry. And you?" Everyone was staring at how Helena was easily talking to Harry Potter. Ginny was smiling at the fact that her best friend and her fiancée got on so easily. All three of them went on to talk about their weekends ahead and Ginny moved onto her next piece of homework, Care of Magical Creatures. This was Ginny's least favourite subject and she never really understood anything about it. Her face scrunched up in concentration and her mind went blank with the thought of thestrals, after all, she could not even see them, which she supposed was a good thing, as you could only see them if you had seen death. She worked on drawing out a copy of a thestral from a study book. She was just drawing the wings when Harry pointed out something.
"The wings are more flat shaped at the bottom." Ginny looked at him in confusion. "Look, come here." He said sweetly and took the pencil from Ginny's hand a traced over the already drawn wing.
"Thank you hunny." Ginny said, smiling sweetly back at him. Harry could see the thestrals, as he had seen his parents, Lily and James Potter and his Godfather, Sirius Black die. Helena made a confused look at Ginny's drawing compared to her own, obviously thinking that hers was not accurate enough and Harry kindly drew out the thestral on her piece parchment as well.
"Thanks." She said, smiling at him.
"No problem." He replied. He passed the parchment back over to Helena. All her other friends on looked the conversation, trying to look as if they didn't care. Having noticed this, Ginny began to speak.
"Harry these are my other friends, Sian, Lilian, Gabriella, Hannah and Heather." She said, taking it in turns to point at each different person. They all smiled at Harry when Ginny pointed at them and Harry smiled back, saying hello to them one by one. They all said hello back. Ginny looked down at her watch again, it was now 9:55am.
"I've finished my homework Harry!" She said, tucking her parchment back into her bag. "I'll just go and pop it up stairs and I'll be back down and ready to go!" Harry replied with a quick "OK", and Ginny ran up the dormitory stairs, put her homework away and ran back down.
"Well it was nice meeting you all." Harry said to Ginny's friends once Ginny had returned from upstairs. "And it was nice to see you again Helena." He said, taking Ginny's hand in his own.
"See you tomorrow!" Ginny said to all her friends. They all replied with a mer "see you tomorrow", and with that Harry and Ginny left the common room, hand in hand and walked up to Professor McGonagall's office.
