Ginny's Story:
Chapter 1: Aftermath
August 1st, 1997: It was Bill and Fleur's wedding. Everything was just fine until Kingsley's patronus came to tell everyone that the Minster of Magic was dead and that the Death Eaters have taken over the Ministry. Death Eaters suddenly arrived and everything was chaotic. Ginny's brother Ron and his friends Harry Potter and Hermione Granger disapperated. Ginny and her family were questioned about Harry, but luckly they were not harmed.
After the Wedding Guests and Death Eaters had gone, The Weasley's were left to clean up the mess that was made. Fleur was weeping quietly while her new husband Bill, the eldest Weasley, was comforting her. Ginny Weasley and her twin brothers Fred and George were talking about what had just happened.
Ginny: I can't believe it. Minister is dead! what will happen to us?
Fred [angry]: Dunno sis, but it ain't going to be pretty I can tell you that! especially since Harry is now on the run and they're after him!
George: What I do know is that the two of us, Bill and Dad are going to have a hard time at work.
Ginny: I just hope that they're alright
Fred: Who?
Ginny [pissed]: Ron, Harry and Hermione you git!
Fred: oh, right... Don't Worry sis, they'll be fine! You know they will!
George: Although I'm not sure about Ron, considering that he complains about everyting. I reckon he will only last like what, two weeks?
They are suddenly interupted by their father, who wasn't too happy with their conversation
Mr Weasley: Why are you three standing there? get back to cleaning! Plus I don't want any of you discussing about your brother and his friends! we could somehow be overheard for all we know!
George: From who?
Mr Weasley: I dunno George, just try to keep aware! I already send my Patronus to tell Ron and the others that we are fine. [adds a whisper] They are hiding out at Sirius's old house.
Ginny: Thank god!
Mr Weasley: As long as Ron stays with Harry and Hermione and we keep that goul with Spattergoit we should be fine.
Once they finish cleaning, everyone goes back inside the Burrow. Miss Weasley is sitting on the sofa red eyed and looking worried.
Miss Weasley: Oh Arthur! what are going to do now? should we hide at my Aunt's place?
Mr Weasley: Only if things get worse, we will. For now let's just keep a low profile and be careful of people.
Miss Weasley: You're not planning to go to work, are you?
Mr Weasley: I'm afraid I have to Molly. If I don't, it will make the Ministry suspicious. Same with Bill and the Twins.
Fred: Yeah Mum, or we'll close for good!
Miss Weasley: I'm not so sure about you Joke Shop. I mean, who would go in there during this awful time? I'm don't think parents are willing to let their children go alone in Diagon Alley at all this year.
George [quietly]: That's true.
Miss Weasley: and that's not the only thing I'm worried about. I really don't think Ginny should go to Hogwarts at all this year. We still don't even know who will be the new Headmaster now that Dumbledore is gone. He was the only one who knew how to keep the school safe.
Ginny for once agreed with her mother.
Ginny: Yeah mum, I think it's for the best. But what about my education?
Miss Weasley: To be honest, I don't think that matters anymore. Or else, I could home-school you.
Mr Weasley: I'm sure a lot of parents are planning to keep their children home anyways.
Miss Weasley [starting to cry]: Oh Ron! my little Ronny! oh how will ever survive in this cruel world?!
Ginny: Don't worry mum! he's with Harry and Hermione.
Miss Weasley: and Harry!!! oh that poor boy! being on the run from You-Know-Who and the Ministry! she sobbs harder than ever. Both Ginny and her father comfort her while the Twins and Bill and Fleur stand there motionless. After about 15 minutes, Molly stops crying.
Ginny: It's ok mum. They will be alright. They're the most toughest people I've ever known. Harry is a strong guy, he's been through enough hell to take chances, and we all know perfectly well that Hermione has enough brains to get all of them out of trouble. Ron is lucky to have them. Other wise he would end up-
Miss Weasley: DON'T YOU DARE SAY THE D WORD IN FRONT ME GINEVRA WEASLEY! I HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT THAN THINKING OF YOUR BROTHER BEING... being.. she starts to cry again.
Fred [mad]: Thanks a lot Ginny!
George: Nice way to cheer up our Mother!
Bill: Mum! please stop crying!
Fleur: I think you should shut up now!
Ginny [outraged] Don't telll me to shut up you Phelgum!
Mr Weasley: ENOUGH EVERYBODY!!! they are suddenly quiet. Ginny, that's enough! Your mother's right, she has enough to worry about as it is. Why don't we all just forget about this whole thing and get some sleep, alright?
After apologizing to her mother and sister-in-law, Ginny goes upstairs to her Bedroom. She suddenly drops herself on her bed and starts crying. She was so angry at the world. She just couldn't believe that all this was happening. She hoped that Harry, Ron and Hermione would be okay and that You-Know-Who would soon be destroyed. But suddenly, she couldn't get Harry out of her mind. Ever since he broke up her at Dumbledore's funeral, she couldn't help but think about him. They had such a wonderful time together just a few months ago after she kissed him. But after Dumbledore's death, it changed things. He decided to break up with her for her own safety, and although she was supportive about it, deep down she was hurting. She wished there was something she could do to help him, her brother and Hermione. She wished that she could go with them and help stop Voldemort. Finally, she took off her hidious bridesmaid dress, put on her most comfortable nightgown, and went to sleep.
