Ginny spent the next day trying to avoid Fred.
Really It was kind-of hard when he was at the Order meetings...and since she was technically old enough to be at the meetings...she too got to be there...
It was odd, everyone kept looking at her like they wanted to tell her if they were doing it right.
They looked like they wanted to know if every plan would succeed. But Ginny kept quiet. And instead she spent those meetings wondering what Victoire and Teddy were up to.
If they were behaving?
Where they in the kitchen?
Did they turn on the stove?
Did they set a fire-cracker off like they did at that one Family dinner?
Then again, no one blamed them for that...Aunt Muriel did decide to visit that day...
Old Bag, she should learn to call first...So that we can shut-off the lights, hide and pretend were not Home...
It would be a good plan...It's not like her hearing is what it used to be.
Nope, Today she was in order Meetings playing a Muggle Card_game with Dumbldore who seemed to be the only person who didn't stare at her like her face was a fortune-cookie that would tell the future.
Like: "Do not guard that phrophecy Ball, danger lurks and we sha'll all fall..."
Man she could give Professor Trelawney a run for her money...
Or, when they looked at her face like it was a Magical-Eight-Ball...
Shake my head for an answer..."Should we guard the magical Phrophecy Ball, Oh Great and Powerful Magical-Eight-Ball?"
-Answer: "Signs Point To Yes..."
So Today she was playing the card game,"War."
Kind-of fitting if you thought about it.
She was also keeping an ear open, listening for any noise coming from out-side the meeting-room...like say...
Booms, Pongs, Bongs, Bams, Smashes, and, or Crashes...
Which would then tell her if the children would be behaving.
Then she had her feet pulled close to her body ready to stand and run to the children if they were in trouble.
She had her teeth biting her lip to keep from jumping-up and saying..."Yes! Yes, Guard the Damn Phrophecy Ball already!"
She also had her nose filled with the smell of Dumbledore's lemon-drops-candy, that was wafting over to her seat from the other-side of the table where Dumbledore sat.
Well at least she didn't have to smell it as much as Snape who was sitting right next to Old Dumbles.
Maybe it would make Snape smell better.
Like those Muggle-Cleaning -Products that always smelled lemony.
Like, even their garbage bags smelled Lemony...well until you actually filled it with trash...But for a few minutes, yeah, that garbage-bag smell great...
Then she had one eyes trained on her cards, and the other trained on her Mum sniffling about the dangers and then finding the twins in the room cracking jokes between the two.
It was like a ping-pong match...
Twins, Mum, Twins, Mum, Twins, Mum, Twins, Mum...
And so on...
Really actually, Ginny had a nice chat with her Mum the night before when everyone else had gone to bed...
She had come downstairs after putting Victoire and Teddy in bed...in the same room...Gah, she hoped Bill wouldn't kill her...
Anyway, she had found her mUm looking through photos of her children throughout the years...
Ginny had ended up going into the kitchen and bringing her a glass of milk and some Home-made-Chocolate-Chip-cookies...well magic-made anyway, only Hermione and Harry really made the cookies the muggle way...and Damn where they good...
Ginny had stayed with her Mum that night, eating and drinking milk as she talked a little bit about the future...nothing major...just about her job...how everything was peaceful...she even told her that Percy and her were close again, that they were one happy family again...
Well she didn't say one member of the family was permantly missing for now on...
But Ginny thought she had made her Mum relax a little more, knowing at least somethings would turn-out okay...
Covering a huge yawn with her cards, Ginny smiled as the twins bantered with Bill, her eyes watered slightly as she listened to them finish each other's sentences...
She caught Tonks and Remus looking at her, but she just shook her head...
Remembering, yet again, that most people in this room were no longer in her time...
She watched as if in a bubble as Fred asked her something and she answered...
A joke about the weather or something...
She didn't care...It was just nice hearing Fred and George talk together, two voices toned into one voice...
"So do you have any idea on how to fix your Time-Turner?" Bill asked her, breaking Ginny out of her thoughts.
"Well, it's Hermione's Time-Turner..." Ginny said, smiling slightly.
"So That's a no..." Sirius said, chuckling a little as Ginny stuck her tongue out at him.
"No...It's just that it's complicated..." Ginny said.
"Oh, so you can fix it?" Remus said, joining in on the slight-teasing as Tonks giggled next to him.
Ginny smiled and rolled her eyes at the two, wondering when they would start liking each other as more than Friends...
Because Really, Ginny Bet, That Teddy would like to be Born...
"Well Maybe..." Ginny said, trailing off and shrugging her shoulders... In a "What-do-you-want-me-to-do...," Kind of way that clearly showed she didn't know how to fix-it.
And that's one another voice broke in.
"If you try and fix-it...it will probably only break-it more..."
Ginny glanced around, knowing who the voice belonged to and expecting that person in their younger-years to be standing in the door-way of the meeting-room...
But no one was there...
"Down here Ginny..." The voice said, sounding slightly muffled.
Ginny pulled the Time-Turner out from in her shirt, where it hung on a chain around her neck.
"Hello Ginny..." The voice sounded from inside The Time-Turner, as if it were a Muggle-Walkie-Talkie...
"Hello Hermione..." Ginny replied as she listened to her friend's voice talk to her from the future...
