Chapter 8: Ginger Has a Real Name?
December 19, 1996; Past
"Ronald! Language!" Molly I scolded.
Ron stood, gaping mouthed, as Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Arthur and Bill came skidding in. They all froze too except for Arthur and Bill, who moved to sit down.
"Dears, why don't you all sit down…? We obviously have some explaining to do."
They all sat down, albeit hesitantly. "Hello," piped a small girl with now Weasley-colored hair.
"Hello," Hermione and Ginny said politely.
"I'm sorry," Ginny said. "But who are you?"
"We," Lily started, "are from the future." She then promptly told them the made up stories they had agreed on. Ginny looked, speechless, at her mother. Molly I nodded.
"So… so you're my… my daughter? Lillian?" Ginny said hesitantly.
"I am indeed, Mum." Ginny blanched. She opened her mouth to say something just as a loud bang echoed once more through the house and someone shrieked.
James snorted. "Al, did you just shriek? Like a girl?" Albus went red and muttered something incomprehensible.
"There's nothing wrong with shrieking like a girl, Potter," a girl brushed herself off whilst standing up. She looked sort of like a Weasley with her freckles and long wavy ginger hair. Ginny's only thought was Wow the next generation is made up of a lot of hot people.
"Hey, Ginger," James smirked while a pretty brown-haired girl picked herself off the ground. "You see," he explained to everyone, "When I was a second year and Ginger was a first year, I found it absolutely appalling that a girl with such ginger hair and freckles could be in no way related to the Weasleys. So I took it upon myself to rename her something I deemed much more appropriate." Ginger rolled her eyes. "And now, everyone calls her Ginger. In fact, I don't even remember her real name."
"It's Gina Nelly Nyado," Al said. "Even I knew that." James shrugged.
"At least I knew the Nyado part."
Everyone now turned their attention to the brunette who smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Alice Loran Longbottom." This was understandable; she looked a little bit like Neville's mother but mostly looked like her own person entirely.
"Anyway," Ginger stated. "I just came to tell you that you unleashed a ripple in time and really any moment now we and our pretty little past friends could be transported back to 2019 so be pre-"
However she was going to finish that sentence, no one did find out because at that moment, the loudest bang yet echoed out as they all disappeared, leaving the Burrow abandoned.
