XxXOn with the storyXxX
By the time the train pulled up to the village, Ginny was feeling better and managed to climb into a carriage with Hermione, James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily. Peter had ran off after the battle and the group hadn't heard a word from him since.
Sirius still had his arm wrapped around Ginny's waist in case anything happened. James and Remus exchanged a look and grinned.
"So," Lily started, "how did you two know the train was under attack? I mean I would have thought the train simply broke down or something."
"We're in a war Lils," she said softly. "And growing up where all you know is war, things as meaningless as a train breaking down is not normal."
Hermione squeezed Ginny's hand and gave her a reassuring smile, knowing exactly what the girl was alluding to. After all, she was the one who helped the girl through the chambers incident.
Lily looked contemplative before nodding in understanding.
Deciding to change the subject James turned to Ginny and Hermione and asked, "Do you play Quidditch?"

Once the carriages arrived at Hogwarts the two girls excused themselves and walked up to the Great Hall. After spotting the Headmaster they walked up to him and waited for him to finish his conversation with a professor they didn't know.
"Excuse me sir, but we need to talk in private please," Hermione said politely.
"Of course," Albus said as he stood up. He motioned for them to follow him into the antechambers off to the side of the Great Hall.
Once they were all in the room Ginny cast a privacy charm on the room.
Hermione looked at the Headmaster and sighed. "Sir, we have something we need to tell you. We can't tell you everything but we'll tell you as much as we can," she started. She didn't know how to tell him they were from the future without it sounding like a corny muggle film, so she just decided to say what she was thinking.
"We're from the future. We were sent back in time to help people out in this time and to get help in return."
Albus looked at the two young witches critically. He tried to use legilimens to find out if they were telling the truth. When he could not enter either girls' minds he stopped trying.
"Sir, if you do not believe us, I will be willing to take veriteserum on one condition, Hermione will have to approve of any questions asked so as to keep the future safe," Ginny told the old man.
Albus looked at the two witches and slowly nodded. "I will get some brought up right now," he said.
There was a soft pop and a small house elf stood there in a little tea cozy. "How may Pilie helps you?" she asked.
"Can you bring me a vial of veriteserum from Prof. Slughorn's stock?"
"Of course." Two soft pops later Pilie handed him a vial of veriteserum.
"Now, three drops should do, I think," Dumbledore said as he took the stopper out of the vial. "Please open your mouth young lady," he instructed.
Ginny did as she was told and waited until all three drops hit her tongue before swallowing the tasteless potion.
"What is your full name?"
"Ginevra Molly Weasley"
"Are you related to Arthur and Molly Weasley?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"They're my parents."
"What is your birthday?"
"August 12, 1982."
"Who sent you back in time?"
"Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"What is your cover story for showing up so late in your schooling education?"
"Our family was murdered during the summer by an attack from Voldemort. Our mother was your daughter, thus making us your granddaughters, but people are not to know that besides from the Mauraders and Lily Evans"
"Why are they to know you two are my granddaughters?"
"Because you told us to trust them with this, and because Sirius and Remus remembered us from the past as your granddaughters."
"I think that is enough," Hermione cut in, flicking her wand, cancelling the effects of the truth serum. "You know who we are, you know that we were sent here on your orders, and you know our cover story. If you need more proof, then I'm sorry to say we cannot give it to you for risk of altering the timeline too much."
Albus looked at the two girls and smiled. "I understand my dears, it just comes as a shock when two mysterious people show up claiming to be from the future, especially in these desperate times. One can't be too careful, don't you think?"
"We couldn't agree with you more," the two girls said in unison.

"Ginevra Dubois!" called Professor McGonagall.
Ginny sauntered up to the stool and sat down and felt the sorting hat placed on her head.
"Hello Finius, it's a pleasure to talk to you once again," she said to it.
"Likewise Miss Weasley, did I not tell you the last time that we would talk again?" he asked.
"You did," she answered. "So, what House am I going to be in this time?"
"Hush child, don't rush things. Are you ready to finally accept your true lineage?"
"Finius, what are you going on about? What do you mean 'accept my true lineage'?" she questioned him.
"All in due time my child, all in due time. For now let's get you sorted. GRYFFINDOR!"
Ginny smiled as she stood up, placed the Sorting Hat back on the stool, and walked over to the Gryffindor table.
"Congratulations Ginny," Remus said.
"Welcome to the noble house of Gryffindor," James added with an exaggerated wink, causing Ginny to roll her eyes.
"I'm glad you're here, luv," Sirius whispered in her ear.
Ginny gave him a small smile before turning her attention back to where Hermione was being sorted.
XxX
"Good evening Finius," Hermione told him.
"Good evening child, now do you believe me?" he teased.
"Yes my friend, I believe you," she answered.
"While I would love to stay and chat I must sort you now. GRYFFINDOR!"
Hermione grinned and walked over to where er sister was sitting, slipping into the seat next to her. "I told you I had an inkling on what House we would get Sorted into" she told the boys with a smirk.
"Well now the whole gangs together!" Sirius joked.
Everyone laughed as they watched the rest of the Sorting finish up.
"Welcome to all," Dumbledore greeted. "I have a few things I would like to say, but for now let's eat. Tuck in!"
The two girls grinned as they started eating their food.
"Le même vieil Albus," Ginny giggled, (Same old Albus)
Hermione smiled and nodded as she continued eating.

Dinner passed uneventfully. Dumbledore had introduced the woman that he was talking to earlier as Professor Callaghan, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"So Ginny, Hermione, would you care to join us in the Head Common room?" asked James.
Ginny and Hermione looked at each other and shrugged.
"As long as Lily's there," Hermione answered.
"Oi! Evans! You want to join us all in the Head Common room once you're done?" Sirius asked from across the hall.
Lily looked at the other five and hesitantly nodded before helping the prefects get the first years up to their common rooms.

The seven Gryffindors sat in a circle talking about random things like classes and quidditch when Ginny turned to Peter and asked, "Where'd you go after the fight Peter?"
Peter shifted uncomfortably under the girl's piercing gaze and stuttered out, "I-I w-went to go see s-some f-friends."
Ginny glared at the boy causing him to squeak and look away. "I umm…I had to go meet with a friend" he squeaked out.
Everyone in the room turned to look at the teen with varying degrees of emotions running across all of their features. All of a sudden Lily turned to the boys and stared blankly at them.
"Why exactly am I here again?" she asked.
James grinned and with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes told her, "I thought you would like to meet these wonderful young ladies."
Lily looked at him as if he were mental. "I've already met Ginny and Hermione," she said slowly, as if talking to a three year old.
"Ah yes, but what you don't know is that these two fine young ladies are Dumbledore's granddaughters," Sirius stated.
The look on Lily Evans' face was absolutely priceless. "Are you really?"
XxX
A couple of hours passed by as the group talked about everything and anything that came to mind. All of a sudden Ginny had a brilliant idea.
"How about we play a game of Truth or Dare?"
After a murmur of agreement from the rest of the group Ginny looked satisfied.
"Okay, who wants to start this off?" she asked.
"Well since you suggested it why don't you start it off?" Lily told her.
Ginny shrugged and looked around the circle. "Peter, truth or dare?" she said with a smirk.
The small boy squirmed a little in his seat before he stuttered out dare.
"I dare you to, at the next dinner, go up to this Snivellus character you all talk about and confess your undying love for him," she told him. At the look on his face she continued, "And you have to Salsa dance with him before ending the whole thing off with a kiss, square on his lips." She smirked as the boy paled considerably.

The whole group played for awhile until they started yawning.
"Why don't we all just have a big sleepover?" Lily suggested.
All five wizards looked at her strangely while Hermione and Ginny just shrugged.
"Umm…Lilyflower, what's a sleepover?" asked James.
Lily sighed while the other two witches rolled their eyes.
"A sleepover is simply when a group of friends get together, maybe play games and watch movies and then when everyone's ready fro bed they simply sleep on the floor, usually with sleeping bags and such," Hermione explained.
"And that everyone, was one Hermione Jane Dubois' teacher/lecture mode," teased Ginny.
Hermione scowled and flung the cushion she was sitting on at her sister.

The next morning found the seven Gryffindors sitting together near the middle of the table, eating breakfast and talking when Fawkes flames in front of the girls. He waited patiently as Hermione reached out and grabbed the letter from his leg.
"What is it Mione?" asked Ginny.
"Grandpere nous a écrit une lettre. Je ne sais pas si je l'ouvre avec chacun d'autre autour," Hermione whispered in her ear. (Grandfather wrote us a letter. I don't know if I should open it with everyone else around.)
Ginny looked at the letter in her sister's hands and then up to the Headmaster. "'Mione, il ne l'aurait pas envoyé au milieu du déjeuner, quand chacun est dans l'esprit de grand hall toi, à moins qu'il ait été bien avec lui étant ouvert en ce moment." ('Mione, he wouldn't have sent it in the middle of breakfast, when everyone is in the Great Hall mind you, unless he was ok with it being opened right now)
Hermione nodded and opened the letter. The two witches read the letter quickly before bursting out in fits of giggles.
"What's so funny?" asked James.
"Grandpapa always has some sort of sweet confection as his password to his office," Ginny explained. She wiped her tears away and went back to eating.
"And grandpapa wants to see all of us, except Peter, after we finish with our meal," Hermione added when she realized that Ginny wasn't going to tell them.
"What for?" asked Remus.
"I don't know, he didn't say," she replied.
"We haven't even pranked anyone and we're already being sent to the Headmaster's office," complained Sirius, which caused all three witches to roll their eyes.
