Chapter 14: Not Again

"Oh, not again!" Trinity said as her, Luna and Ginny appeared as ghosts in a somewhat familiar place.

"This is not happening!" Ginny groaned.

Luna, ever the peaceful one, just smiled, "This should be interesting. Look, it's one of our other lives. We were reborn a few times before now."

They turned to the people now talking - them reincarnate, and then sat down on the ground to watch everything unfold.

"So, Miss Holland," a raven-black haired man spoke, "how was your trip to France?"

A black haired woman smiled politely, "Quite lovely, Mr. Schoonmaker. Have you ever visited there?"

"No, I cannot say I have. I would like to, sometime in the near future." Mr. Schoonmaker said as he lead her along a path in the park.

Miss Holland looked over at a platinum blond girl sitting on a nearby bench and scowled. The blond girl tried hard to cover up her laughter as she mouthed something to Miss Holland. Another girl, with golden blond hair, looked up from her book and whispered something to the first.

"Mr. Schoonmaker, will you excuse me for a moment? I believe my sister and our friend are over there, and I have news of most importance to convey to them."

"Of course."

Miss Holland walked briskly, though dignifiedly, over to the two blonds, "Diana, Penelope, I'm so glad that you are here!"

The golden blond girl laughed, "Penelope and I figured you could use some support. Lord knows that though he is quite handsome, Henry Schoonmaker is not a man to be alone with. Didn't Mother assign you a chaperone, or something?"

"Diana," Penelope began, "everyone knows Elizabeth is too proper to sneak off with anyone - even her own fiancé - and do un-lady-like things."

Diana snickered, "Unless it's a coachman by the name of William Fisher."

Elizabeth flushed, "Oh!"

"What? Did you think we did not know of your affair?" whispered Penelope, "Lizzie, we have known for quite some time now, and I honestly cannot blame you for it. William Fisher, though poor, is most likely one of the handsomest men I've met."

"Well, this is interesting." Trinity snickered, "Wait until Dray finds out he was poor in a past life while we were quite rich."

Ginny smiled, "Yes, but your life wasn't involved in an affair! I'm engaged, yet sleeping with him."

"How come you sleep with him when it's against all decorum, but when there are no rules against it you don't?" Luna asked.

Ginny glared.

"Miss Holland?" Mr. Schoonmaker (who the girls identified as Harry in his past life) approached. He bowed slightly upon reaching them, "Miss Hayes. Miss Diana. Always a pleasure."

"Quite," Penelope said with false politeness. "Lizzie, do you not have something to ask of Mr. Schoonmaker?"

"No- Oh! Yes, of course." Elizabeth smiled, "Do you think it may be possible for me to leave with Penelope? She has a quite an ordeal to tell me, and I do not wish to bore you by making you wait, sir."

He looked almost happy, "Of course, Miss Holland, but, if you wish, I shall escort Miss Hayes and your sister home with you."

"We shall be perfectly all right, Mr. Schoonmaker," Diana smiled, "with our coachman."

"I can't really say I believe that after the display he put on before."

"Oh, that is just Will being Will," Penelope waved her hand dismissally, "He has been warned not to do it too often by Lady Holland, but it is to give us ladies a bit more adventure."

"Then, if Lady Holland approves," he said, doubting it, "I shall leave you in your coachman's care. Good-bye, Miss Hayes, Misses Holland." He walked off through the park, and Diana lead the way back to their carriage.

"Miss Elizabeth," the blond coachman bowed slightly, "Miss Penelope, Miss Diana."

"Hello, Will," Penelope smiled, "You can drop the act. Henry Schoonmaker is gone."

Will smiled, "Yet, we are still in public, and the public has eyes." He helped, first, Penelope into the carriage, then Diana, and finally Elizabeth. As he helped her in, he pushed a note into her hand before kissing it.

Elizabeth blushed as Penelope watched and Diana giggled. When Will closed the carriage door and it started moving, Diana squealed, "Open it, Lizzie!"

"Do open it, Lizzie!" Penelope whispered excitedly.

Elizabeth opened the note and quietly started reading, " Lizzie, I shan't believe that you don't love me unless you don't follow me. I am moving westward tomorrow, on the train to Chicago, and I am praying for you to come. I know of your duties to your family, but I know you do not wish to marry Schoonmaker. I'll see you tonight in the loft, and hopefully it won't be the last time. Will." She looked up at Diana and Penelope with wide eyes, "Westward? To Chicago?"

"Tomorrow?!" Diana grabbed the letter from Elizabeth's limp hands, "He can not leave, Lizzie! He loves you too much to leave you alone during this!"

"Lizzie? Are you unwell?" Penelope grabbed her friend's hand, "Oh, if only you had told me sooner of your family's financial trouble, I would have gotten Mother and Father to help!"

"Stop the carriage!" Elizabeth suddenly yelled. Before the carriage stopped, she jumped down from it and ran towards the front. Luckily, they were in the wooded part of the Holland land, and away from prying eyes, "Will, how could you? You know I shan't be able to come!"

Will sighed, "You can, Lizzie! You can leave with me, so can Diana. You have other sisters who can help your mother gain financial aid." He grabbed Elizabeth's hands, "Please, come with me."

"Will," she whispered before kissing him slightly, "I shall think about it."

________________________________________________________________________

When their vision became clear again, Ginny, Luna, and Trinity found themselves in their separate rooms with a couple friends around their beds.

Ginny sat up and launched herself at Draco, "You're such an annoying ass!"

He looked surprised, as did Voldemort, Alecto, Pansy, Narcissa, and Bellatrix.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked.

"I can't believe you forced me to make that decision!"

"Though, it was really sweet at the end!" Trinity said dreamily as she walked in.

Luna followed, "And quite hilarious, too, during the time at the park. Harry -or Henry as he was called then - was quite funny to see."

Everyone looked at the three girls weird before saying simultaneously, "Not even going to ask." and the adults left.

A/N: Hey, guys! Hope you liked it!

Ginny: Me too! Don't forget me! *pouts*

Blaise: *chuckles* I doubt anyone could forget you, Gin, since you're the main character.
