Mum has been in a bad mood all morning, she has been running around the house looking for all of the stuff we have lost over the summer. I'm not sure how Ron managed to lose Scabbers under the furnace but mum found him there when she was looking for my socks. All my socks seemed to have disappeared after Fred and George discovered the sticks and grass I placed in their bed.
Dad nearly broke his neck carrying my trunk when Leonard the chicken got in his path. People keep on colliding, Fred and George nearly knocked Ron down the stairs when they were sneaking their fireworks past mum. Percy keeps on looking out the window for Hermes, one of the things he has been doing all summer. It makes me wonder where he has been sending that poor owl. Thank goodness it wasn't Errol doing all that flying, he would be one dead owl. Ron keeps on getting butter on everyone from all the toast he has been eating on the run, does Ron ever stop eating? When Harry and I ran into each other I froze until Percy came down the stairs and asked why I was blocking the landing.
When we all finally got into the car the boys piled into the back and mum and I got into the front with dad. Mum is the only person who thinks that muggle cars are always this big on the inside. Truth be told Dad enchanted it, he showed the boys this morning and I watched when he did the enchanting last week. We barely got out of the yard when George forgot the rest of the fireworks. I was surprised mum let them bring fireworks to school, especially after she yelled at them last night to behave this year. I don't why she bothers, those two can't behave.
George had just gotten back in the car and started to move when Fred remembered his broomstick. I hope I packed everything, I did pack everything right? Tom will laugh when he hears about this. Wait, Tom? I forgot my diary.
"STOP! I FORGOT MY DIARY!" We had just reached the highway when dad reluctantly went back. Dad screeched to a halt in the driveway and I ran up to my room and grabbed the little back diary still in my beside table. I jumped back into the car and dad tore off to the train station. We got to the train station and dad hurried across the street to get trolleys. Mum yelled at George for pushing Fred on the trolley covered in their trunks. When we finally got to the barrier between platforms nine and ten we had five minutes to get on the train.
"Percy first," mum said nervously glancing at the clock. Dad went next followed by the gruesome twosome and then mum and me. Mum put her arm around my shoulder and helped me push the cart through the barrier. As we ran I closed my eyes and didn't open them until I was on the Hogwarts platform. There it was, the gigantic red steam engine waiting to take her to Hogwarts. They ran over to where dad and her brothers were putting the trunks on the train.
"Oh Ginny," Mum said as dad started to put my stuff on the train. "I'm going to miss you sweetheart." Mum attacked me in a hug.
"I'm going to miss you to mum but you don't have to worry about me," I said, patting her on the back.
"I know but my baby is going to Hogwarts."
"I know it's sad Mum but I promise I will write you everyday."
"Alright, I love you Ginny. Take care of yourself," Mum said pulling away from me, tears in her eyes.
"Percy," Mum said, turning to my older brother and pulling him into a hug. "Take care of Ginny."
"I will and I will watch over Ron and Harry," Percy said patting mum on the back.
"Don't forget Fred and George."
"Usually that's my goal but if you insist I will try to stop them from getting in too much trouble."
It's a good thing Mum's back was turned and missed Fred and George giving Percy a rather rude hand gesture. Mum broke away from Percy and turned to Fred and George, wrapping them both in a hug.
"Come on Mum, don't cry," Fred said.
"Yeah, we promise we will look after ickle ginnykins and Ronnie wonnie." George said.
"We will even try not to cause trouble for Percy."
"Simply by tormenting the other house's prefects."
Percy rolled his eyes at this and headed for the train doors, just as he reached the steps the whistle blew. Dad quickly hugged me and helped me onto the train, Fred and George following in my wake.
Mum looked around her and called out, "Where are Harry and Ron?"
"Didn't they get on the platform?" Dad asked looking around.
"No, We haven't seen them," Fred said, gesturing to him and George. The train started to move and mum looked panicked.
"We will find them," Dad said while putting his arm around mum. He then turned to the train, which was slowly moving out of the station, and called, "Have a good school year." I waved goodbye and kept staring until they were only a speck in the distance. I can't believe I'm on the Hogwarts Express, headed towards my first year. I'm so excited, this is going to be a great year!
"Come on Ginny, we will help you find a compartment," Percy said. I followed my brothers as they looked for an empty compartment. They finally found one at the back of the train and helped me load my luggage into the racks.
"Alright, I need to head to my Prefects meeting and meet some friends. I will check in on you later Gin, if you need me head to the front of the train and ask for the Prefects compartment," Percy said, clapping his hands together and heading for the door. I nodded to show I understood.
"There's no way you have friends to meet" Fred said, crossing his arms. Percy simply glared at the twins and left.
"Now Ginny," George said, heading towards the door. "If you want to be cool, you will come to us for help instead of Percy."
"Yeah, all you have to do is shout our names or ask for us and someone will help you." Fred said, following his twin.
I sat staring out the window, the city slowly turning into grass fields. I can't believe I'm on the Hogwarts Express. I can't believe I'm headed to Hogwarts where I will be taught all about magic. I wonder if I will get in Gryffindor, of course I will, my whole family has been in Gryffindor. I wonder how we will be sorted. Fred and George told me that it hurts a lot, why would I believe them? They just like to cause trouble.
The compartment door opened and a girl with bushy brown hair poked her head in. I have seen her before, where have I seen her before?
"Oh, Ginny. Is it alright if I sit in here with you?" The girl asked. How does she know my name? I have never met her bef... wait I have met her, in Diagon Alley. This is Hermione, Ron and Harry's friend.
"Yeah," I nodded my head. She came into the compartment, pulling her trunk after her. I jumped up to help her and together we managed to get her trunk into the luggage rack.
"Thank you," Hermione said while sitting down and brushing her hair behind her ear. "This is your first year right?"
"Yeah... I'm nervous... Even though I already known about the magical world... I'm just nervous."
"Don't worry, you will be fine. You will have the teachers and your brothers to look after you. Harry and I will even help you."
I smiled, how can Ron be friends with someone so nice. "Thank you Hermione."
"No problem. I'm always happy to help."
We sat in silence until Hermione took out a book and started to read. I glanced at the cover, Year with the Yeti by Gilderoy Lockhart.
"You have already started to read your Hogwarts books?"
"Oh, no, I have already finished them, I'm just re-reading my favorite parts." Hermione said, her nose still buried in her book. Ron had said that she was smart but I didn't know she was this smart. A knock came on the compartment door and in came a round face boy with brown hair and a toad clutched in his hands.
"Hi Neville," Hermione said as the boy came in and sat down. "How was your summer?"
"Good, my gran was happy about the points I won for Gryffindor at the end of the year. How was yours, Hermione?"
"Excellent, I read a lot this summer. I have a list of books to read every summer and I read them all and even got started on the books for next summer."
"Are these muggle or magical books?" I asked, interested in the topic of muggle books, I'm my dad's daughter through and through.
"Muggle,"
The boy called Neville looked at me as if trying to figure out who I 'am.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Neville this is Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister. Ginny this is Neville, he shares a dorm with Ron and Harry."
"Nice to meet you, speaking of Ron and Harry, where are they?" Neville asked.
"I was just coming in here to ask that," Percy said, coming and sitting down. "Actually I was just seeing if they had showed up yet. Hey, Hermione, Neville."
"I wonder if they even got onto the platform," I said. I'm worried about Ron and Harry, what could have happened to them?
"I was thinking that too but mum and dad will find them." Percy said sympathically, patting my back.
The compartment door opened and Fred and George came in with a dark skinned boy with dreadlocks.
"Hello all," Fred greeted as he sat by me.
"Have you two seen Harry or Ron?" Percy asked.
"Believe it or not, we came in here to ask about them, not the sparkling conversation." George said from his spot across from Fred.
"Alright so nobody has seen them or knows where there at," Hermione said. "Did they get on the platform?"
"I don't know, they were supposed to get on after mum and me," I said, worried about what had happened to my brother and the love of my life.
"Whose the munchkin?" The mysterious black boy said.
"Oh, Lee this is our little sister Ginny," Fred introduced.
"Ginny this is our good friend Lee Jordan," George finished.
"You do know that the time to introduce people is when they first meet each other, not ten minutes later," Percy said.
"It has not been ten minutes," Fred justified.
Their idiotic fight was interrupted by compartment door sliding open. A little old lady with grey curly hair said from the doorway, "Anything from the trolley dears?"
Fred and George bought Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean and jelly slugs, they had a good time daring everybody to eat them.
"If you two don't stop giving me the disgusting flavors like, dirt and cabbage I'm going to..." Percy shouted after biting into his tenth vomit flavored bean.
"What are you going to do put us into detention?" Fred mocked.
"Take away points?" George asked, throwing beans at Percy.
"Even Percy wouldn't take away points from his own house," Lee said.
"Only if they really deserved it," Percy said.
"Yeah right. You only scold and give out detentions to the other houses." Fred said.
Percy just grumbled and sat back in his seat, he doesn't like to think that we know him so well.
The compartment door slid open and the blonde boy from Florish and Botts walked in along with two gigantic guys. The two boys resembled trolls and the blonde boy made my blood boil, the sight of him making me remember his father. The evil man who fought my daddy and insulted my family for no reason, come to think of it this boy insulted my family and Harry and Hermione for no reason. I don't know him and I hate him.
"What are you doing here?" Hermione hissed at him. That's strange, Hermione seemed like a girl who would be nice to anybody, even somebody like Malfoy.
"Calm yourself Granger, I just wanted to see who was in this compartment."
"You know they have a window on the compartment door." Fred said nastily.
"Yeah, those new fangled devices called windows help you see through walls. You know, so you don't have to enter the room and bug the people within." George said, equally as nastily. If Fred and George hate him they I really hate him.
Malfoy ignored the twins and continued, "Lets see a compartment of Gryffindors, lot's of people for me to hate. For example; four Weasleys, Longbottom and the mudblood."
Everyone in the compartment, except Hermione, stood up and started to shout at Malfoy all at once, calling him every bad name in the book.
Before I could do anything remotely useful my brothers and Lee were pushing Malfoy and the goons out of the compartment.
"The nerve of that guy," Percy mumbled, angrily. "If he ever bothers you Ginny, I will take away points from Slytherin and put him in detention."
"Talk about overprotective," George said.
"Don't give me the overprotective speech, I know you guys are planning on pranking anybody who is mean to Ginny." Percy retorted.
I giggled and rolled my eyes at my brothers fighting over who is more protective. I glanced out the window, the landscape still the same fields that it had been for the whole trip. Only this time I had a hard time seeing the fields through the growing darkness.
"It's growing dark," I declared to the compartment. Percy and the twins stopped their arguing and stared out the window with everyone else.
"Were approaching Hogwarts," Percy said, getting up.
"Really," I shrieked. I'm near Hogwarts, I'm going to have my first glimpse of Hogwarts in just a short while.
"Yeah," Percy said. "We better put on our robes."
The boys left the compartment and Hermione and I changed into our school robes. My robes are plain, since I have not been sorted into a house yet. Hermione had a red and gold strip across the bottom of the vest and a red lining on the inside of her robe.
"I can't wait until I get put into a house," I said, eyeing the red and gold tie that Hermione was adjusting around her neck.
"Do you think you will be in Gryffindor," Hermione asked.
"Yeah, I don't have a doubt in my mind," I thought of Tom and how he comforted me when I was having doubts.
"I like how confident you are, you really are brave."
A voice over the loudspeaker said, "We are approaching Hogwarts, please leave all your belongings on the train, they will be taken up to the school separately."
Hermione and I made our way out into the corridor where there were students everywhere, running up and down the corridor. When the train stopped we made our way onto the platform.
A booming voice shouted, "Firs' year, Firs' years over here."
"Seeya late Ginny," Hermione called.
I waved goodbye and made my way over to the booming voice that belonged to the giant of a man called Hagrid.
"Hey Hagrid," Fred and George shouted as they made there way over to him.
"Fred, George, How was your summer?" Hagrid asked.
"Excellent,"
"Last time we saw you, you were pulling our dad and Lucius Malfoy apart."
"Hey Hagrid, Have you seen Ron or Harry," Percy said, coming over to our little group.
"No," Hagrid said, looking confused.
"Where could they have gone off too?" Percy said frowning, when he saw me he smiled and quickly said, "We will find them though. Seeya later Gin."
"Yeah seeya Gin," Fred and George said and followed Percy off into the crowd.
Hagrid led me and the rest of the first years to a group of boats waiting at the edge of the lake.
"No more than four to a boat," Hagrid shouted.
I got into a boat with a blonde boy who was holding a muggle camera, a blonde girl with a dreamy expression and another blonde girl who was running her hand through the water.
"Forward," Hagrid shouted and the boats started to move.
It was a beautiful trip that I will remember for the rest of my life; the moonlight on the water, the silver fish swimming just below the surface, the occasional glimpse of a long tentacle from the giant squid. As we neared the castle the water got shallower and shallower until I was able to see seaweed growing up from the bottom of the lake.
"Heads down," Hagrid cried.
I looked up and ducked just in time, to avoid hitting my head on the looming wall of ivy. When we were past I looked up again and their it was, Hogwarts castle, the place I have always wanted to be. I can't believe I'm here. All those years of being jealous of my brothers and I'm finally here. The boats scraped along the bottom of lake as I leaned my head back and looked up at the towers stretching into the nighttime sky.
We clambered out of the boats and up the lawn, the lights from the castle showing us the way. When we reached the stone steps, Hagrid knocked on the door three times. The door opened and a stern looking woman glanced down at us.
"The firs' years Professo' McGonagall,"
"Thank you Hagrid," the woman nodded.
She led us through the hallways and into a small chamber where she stopped us and said, "Welcome to Hogwarts! The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."
We all just stared at her, too scared to say anything. Professor McGonagall is defiantly not a teacher to mess with, my brothers have told me about her. I guess she is so strict that even Fred and George are afraid of her.
She finally clapped her hands together and said, "Now lets go into the great hall get you lot sorted."
I got in line behind the boy with the muggle camera and we all followed Professor McGonagall into the hall. The great hall was gorgeous, there were candles everywhere, most on the tables and a few just floating in mid air. There were four long tables in the hall, each representing a house. I spotted my brothers at the far table, all smiling as they saw me stopped in front of the hall. There was a fifth table at the front of the hall, she knew the person in the middle seat, Albus Dumbledore, his beard long and white and eyes smiling at them from behind half moon spectacles. There were ghosts every where but they did not seem like the monsters Fred and George made them out to be.
I looked up and stared at the sky, a million stars blinking down at me. There's one thing Fred and George didn't lie about, the enchanted ceiling, it really was breathtaking.
I turned my attention back to the Professor McGonagall, who was placing a old beat up wizards hat on a three legged stool. The hat would fit in perfectly at The Burrow, in fact I think we have one exactly like the one. The hat opened at the brim and began to sing:
I look torn and dirty,
But I'm more than you see,
My insides are what matters
I sort you, you see.
I'm a sorting hat,
I place you where you belong,
Put me on your head
I never have been wrong.
I might put you in Gryffindor,
The bravest of them all,
Hero's as they have been called
Never one to back down.
Hufflepuff is a possibility,
Oh, how loyal they are,
You can always place your trust in them
Their allegiance never fails.
You might belong in Ravenclaw,
Intellect beyond compare,
Wit and cleverness before anything else
Intelligence to the end.
If you are ambitious,
and a strong leader,
I will place you in Slytherin
The cunning and determined.
So sit down on the stool,
Place me on your head,
I will read your mind
and place you where you belong!
The hat finished it's song, the opening that was it's mouth closed and everyone in the hall applauded. Well, the hats at The Burrow defiantly did not open up and sing.
"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," Professor McGonagall said, stepping forward with a roll of parchment. "Anderson, Katie"
The blonde girl from the boat went and sat on the stool, cramming the hat on her head.
"Gryffindor," the hat shouted. I looked over at the table where my brothers sat. There they were clapping along with their house, Fred and George cat calling at the new arrival.
"Bagnall, Zion" was called next and became the first Hufflepuff.
"Binder, Justine" became the first Ravenclaw.
"Busby, Martina" was the first Slytherin. She looked vicious and fit the description of Slytherin house, but I'm from a Gryffindor family so don't take my word for it.
The list went on and on, new student after new student going up to sit on the stool and be sorted into their house. The blonde boy with the muggle camera, Colin Creevey, was sorted into Gryffindor. He was so excited that he got up, tripped over to the stool and ran to the Gryffindor table with the hat still on his head. He ran back and handed it to, "Dodson, Angel."
The blonde girl with the dreamy expression, Luna Lovegood, was sorted into Ravenclaw and after "Walk, Jacie" was sorted into Hufflepuff it was my turn.
"Weasley, Ginevra" I shuddered at the use of my real name but at least I wasn't standing by myself, anymore.
"Another Weasley, eh," a sly voice said in my ear. "Last but defiantly not least."
I'm better than my brothers?
"Ambitious, and a desire to prove yourself. I think Weasley and then Gryffindor, but I could put you in Slytherin."
Not Slytherin, what would my brothers say, mum, dad? I would be the first Weasley not put in Gryffindor.
"Loyalty, a Hufflepuff quality but I'm still debating on Slytherin"
Why? I'm Gryffindor through and through, my hair matches their colors!
"Well, if your sure, better make it GRYFFINDOR!" The last word was spoken, well shouted, out loud. I stood up and took the hat off of my head and there was my house, clapping and cheering me on. Fred and George were standing up, shouting, clapping and stomping their feet in excitement. I walked, shakily, to the far table and Percy came to greet me.
"Congratulations Gin, I knew you would be in Gryffindor." Percy put his arm around me and led me back to where he had been sitting.
Hermione beamed at me from across the table, "Congratulations Ginny."
Fred and George came down and sat on either side of Hermione, saying together, "You should have seen your face when the hat called Gryffindor."
The plates in the middle of the table filled with food, there were so many delicious looking things that she didn't now where to start.
"Eat up Gin," Fred said, piling his plate full of food.
"I don't know what to eat," I said.
"Here I will make you a dish," Percy said serving me up a dish. "There you are, Gin."
"Thanks Perce," I said, digging into some Shepard's Pie.
I glanced over to see who was sitting on my right and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw it was a ghost. The ghost had curly hair and a ruff around his neck.
"Who are you?" I asked the ghost.
"I'am Nearly Headless Nick," the ghost said.
"You two are jerks, you said he was blood splattered and blood thirsty," I said angrily to Fred and George.
"You believed us?" Fred asked.
"You are thick, no wonder you weren't placed in Ravenclaw," George said sarcastically.
'Very funny,"
"No ghost at Hogwarts is blood thirsty," Nearly Headless Nick comforted me.
"What about blood splattered?" I asked.
"Only the Bloody Baron, but he is the Slytherin ghost," Nearly Headless Nick pointed across the hall at the Slytherin table.
I glanced at where his finger was pointed too and there was a silvery ghost covered in silver blood stains.
"Don't worry like Nick said he is harmless, in fact he helps us prefects out," Percy said.
"What do you mean?"
"He is the only one who can control Peeves," Nick said.
"Peeves?" I said, feeling dumber and dumber by the second.
"Peeves the Poltergeist, he is a hoot," George commented.
"Always up to some kind of mischief," Fred said.
"So you two are best friends with him then?" I said, causing Percy to choke on his chicken in laughter.
I enjoyed my first dinner at Hogwarts, eating delicious food and laughing with my brothers. However, the whole time I was making my way through the piles of food and desserts, I had Ron and Harry in the back of mind. Where could they be? Are they at Hogwarts? Are they okay? Why didn't they get on the train or the platform for that matter?
After a perfectly delicious bowl of chocolate pudding, the desserts disappeared and Professor Dumbledore stood up, his arms raised.
"Welcome new students and old students alike to a brand new year at Hogwarts. My first proclamation being to make sure that all students," Dumbledore paused to glanced at my brothers. "know that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all students. Hence the name The Forbidden Forest, if we wanted students to go in there we would call it the Welcome Forrest but the name is The Forbidden Forest."
I couldn't help but smile, of course my brothers are the ones who would be constantly trying to explore The Forbidden Forest.
"Magic is not allowed in the corridors and the if you would like to play for your house Quidditch team please sign up with the head of your house. Now off to bed with you all and have a wonderful first day, tomorrow."
Benches scraped as people got up, Percy grabbed my arm and shouted, "First years, follow me if you would please. First years."
Our little group of Gryffindor first years gathered around Percy, "Alright first years, follow me and try to remember the way to the Gryffindor common room. If you can't, an older Gryffindor will be pleased to help you out. Fred, George, why are you in line with the first years?"
"We can't remember how to get to the common room," Fred said.
"Yeah and we need your expert advice to get us there," George finished. Percy just turned away and led us out of the great hall and up the marble staircase. As we walked along I tried to memorize the path but the stairs were constantly moving and I'm too sleepy to remember all the secret doorways that we went through. I must be tired of it might have been a trick of the light but I swear I saw one of the suits of armor move.
When we finally reached our destination, there was a very fat lady in a pink silk dress sitting at the end of the corridor.
"Password," the lady said.
"Wattlebird," Percy said and the portrait swung open, revealing a large cushy room filled with armchairs, couches and a roaring fire.
"Fred, George," Lee said, running towards them waving The Daily Prophet. They quickly climbed through the portrait hole after helping me through and grabbed the paper from Lee's hands. I glanced at the headline 'Flying Ford Anglia Mystifies Muggles.' I can't believe Ron and Harry flew the car to Hogwarts, they flew to Hogwarts. What a day I have had, I can't wait to tell Tom.
"Goodnight Percy,"
"Night Gin," Percy said and then went back to cursing Ron and Harry for causing so much trouble.
"Goodnight Fred, Goodnight George,"
"Night Gin," they said in unison before going back to cursing Ron and Harry for not inviting them.
I went up the stairs marked girls dormitory and to the first door that said 'First Years.'
"Who do you think it was?" said the tiny blonde girl from my boat."
"I heard it was some sixth year Ravenclaws," a brown haired girl said.
"Are you guys trying to figure out who flew the car to Hogwarts?" I asked, sitting down on the bed that had my trunk at the bottom.
"You know who it was?" a black haired girl said.
"Yeah, it was my brother and Harry Potter taking our flying family car to Hogwarts."
All four of them just stared at me.
"I'm not kidding. I'm Ginny Weasley by the way." I said holding out my hand to the tiny blonde girl.
"Katie Anderson, is that really your brother?" She said shaking my hand.
"Yeah, my brother Ron Weasley is in second year and best friends with Harry Potter," I said holding out my hand to the second blonde in the room.
"Chelsea Crabtree, so you know Harry Potter?"
"Yeah, he spent the last month of summer at my house," I said holding my hand out to the brown haired girl.
"Delaney Evans, you got to talk to Harry Potter for a month?"
"No, I spent a month making a fool of myself in front of Harry Potter. I kind of have a crush on him." There's a understatement but I'm so happy to be talking to a group of girls about my crush on Harry, it's a change of pace from being made fun of by my brothers. I glanced at the black haired girl and held out my hand for her to shake.
"Jordyn Flannigan and don't worry, who doesn't have a crush on Harry Potter."
"I like this, I'm already looking forward to seven years of talks like these," I said and we all laughed and then everyone started getting ready for bed. As soon as my night clothes were on, I got into bed and took out my new diary, ready to tell Tom everything that had happened to me today.
Hi Tom, did you miss me?
Of Course Ginny, you are the bright spot of my day
I'm writing to you from my bed in the Gryffindor first year girls dorm room
You were placed in Gryffindor, Congratulations!
Thank you. Although the sorting hat did consider putting me in Slytherin.
Really, your not just saying that to make me feel better
No, the sorting hat said I was ambitious and determined to succeed
Just like Slytherin house and myself
However the hat chose my bravery over my ambition
How was the rest of your day?
Excellent. My day started hectically, we were late getting to the station because we had to go back and get George's fireworks. We just got going again when Fred forget his broomstick. Then we had just reach the main road when I remembered I had forgotten you.
You almost left me at home?
I remembered though and I'm glad that I did. The train ride was fun and so was dinner, I had a good day with my brothers and my roommates are really nice. I can't wait for tomorrow and the years to come. I love Hogwarts!
I'm very happy for you
Thank you. One very interesting thing that happened today is that Harry and Ron missed the train. I was worried and wondering what had happened to them but when I got to the common room this evening I found out. They flew the family car to Hogwarts, can you believe it?
Talk about an interesting day
I can't wait for tomorrow, I will tell you all about Tom. Goodnight Tom.
Goodnight Ginny
I put my diary and quill on my nightstand and cuddled up into my blankets. I'm so excited to be here at Hogwarts and can not wait for tomorrow were my thoughts before I fell asleep. I dreamt of flying cars, I was in the passenger seat of the Ford Anglia with Harry in the driver seat flying us over a muggle town. We were talking, laughing and I had not blushed once. It was the best dream I ever. I love Harry.
