A/N I'm really sorry it has taken me so long to update. And this isn't even a long chapter. It is rather short. Oh well. It is Ginny's trip to Hogsmeade. Next will be Draco's. Well, I hope you enjoy this amazingly short chapter. Even if it's boring.

Disclaimer: *sigh* If only...

Ginny Weasley woke up on Saturday morning and immediately remembered that it was the day for the Hogsmeade trip. She jumped out of bed and quickly woke the other girls in her dormitory, not including one girl who got up every day at the ungodly hour of five o'clock, so they could start getting ready. The girls sharing the dormitory with Ginny were the type of girls that obsessed over their looks and needed a lot of time to get ready, which was why Ginny woke them up.

Ginny was not the kind of person to spend hours in front of a mirror getting her hair and make-up perfect. Growing up with six brothers had taught her to get dressed very quickly, as there was only so much time allowed in the bathroom. So she just threw on a pair of slightly faded jeans and a brown shirt with tan butterflies along the bottom. She put her hair up in a ponytail with a few locks of hair framing her face, grabbed an overlarge, black zip-up sweatshirt (handed down from Charlie of course), and exited the dormitory.

Down in the Great Hall, there were quite a few students already eating, talking about what they were going to do in Hogsmeade. Ginny saw Luna sitting at the Ravenclaw table staring off into space while eating a strip of bacon with ketchup on it. Ginny smiled slightly and went over and sat next to her.

"That's disgusting," Ginny commented, indicating the ketchup-covered bacon with the hand that wasn't piling food onto her plate.

"Good morning to you, too," Luna said, ignoring the remark as she continued eating the bacon. "So, what are you going to do in Hogsmeade?"

"Probably just shop around and get some candy at Honeyduke's," replied Ginny. "Oh, I also have to get a birthday present for Percy. Do you think I should get him a new quill or something that will help get that broomstick that seems to always be stuck up his arse out?"

"I'd go with the quill," Luna answered.

"You're no fun. But you're probably right. Still, it would be funny to see the look on his face if I actually got him something like that."

"But you won't see him on his birthday," Luna pointed out.

"Details, details." Ginny waved this off and ate her breakfast. When the two of them were done eating, they went outside and waited their turn in line to get their permission slips checked so they could leave. When they were finally let out, they hurried outside and into the cool, late summer air. The first trip to Hogsmeade this year was earlier than usual, but the students didn't mind.

When they eventually reached the small village, the two girls decided to go to The Three Broomsticks and get a butterbeer before shopping. When they were finished, they got some candy at Honeyduke's (a giant lollipop that would never go away for Luna, and a box that whenever it was opened would have the kind of chocolate the opener wanted for Ginny) and then went into the quill-selling store (A/N I don't remember what the name of the store is and I am too lazy to go check) and Ginny got Percy a nice gold and black quill and some gold paper with black edges to match.

After that, Ginny led (or rather, dragged) Luna to Zonko's. Ginny had inherited some sort of something from each of her brothers. From Bill his smarts (he was head-boy after all), from Charlie his love of animals, from Percy his love to learn (though less obsessive), from Ron his love of Quidditch (but, again, less obsessive), and from the twins their love of pranks and jokes. Ginny was much less of a trouble-maker, but if someone was giving her crap, she could easily retaliate and the person in question would not enjoy it at all.

So it did not surprise Luna when she was pulled into the crowded but bright store that was Zonko's. The second they walked over the threshold, Ginny was heading (charging) toward the newest pranks and jokes, leaving Luna at the door. The blonde Ravenclaw sighed and went, slower than her red-haired thread friend, to see the latest shipment of pygmy puffs.

When the two of them were done shopping, they exited the joke shop laden with goods and ran straight into none other than…

A/N One guess as to who they tun into!! If you review and answer, I'll give you an imaginary banana! If you don't like bananas (if you do you're crazy), then I'll give you cheese! If you don't like cheese (which makes you insane, unless you're lactose intolerant) then I'll give you a cookie! If you don't like cookies, then too bad, you crazy, insane, psycho person!

P.S. I am not changing my pen name. It was too confuzzling and I am lazy. If it confused you, I'm sorry, but now I hope it is all better!! :)
