Disclaimer:

OK you've read this before on all the other chapters so

you already know how it goes. I do not own any of the characters

in this story. Heck this story would not even exist if not for the

fact that J. K. Rowling has obsessed me to the point of insanity

as I wait for book seven. So thanks Mrs. Rowling, thank you.

OLD TROUBLE

Ginny had arrived, in just a few moments she would be getting sorted. She had already placed herself in Gryffindor, the fate of most Weasley's and she was looking forward to sitting down with her brothers once again The boat ride was a very eventful one since Hagrid had twice warned one boy with mousy brown hair, to sit down when he was determine to stand up and take snapshots of the ride.

As she stood outside the great hall waiting for Professor McGonagall to return so that the sorting could begin, she heard a commotion, she quickly turned around to see a few boys who seemed to be bullying the small boy from her boat.

"Trying to work for the Daily Prophet, are you?" She heard one of the boys say.

"Keeping some type of journal. Or is there some other reason you need a picture of Mylar Harper here?" She heard another boy say.

Ginny waited for a moment but when it looked like no one was going to help she started making her way through the crowd of first years. It was just before she reached the boys she heard. "Leave the boy alone Harper, it's just a picture?" Ginny looked to see another of her friends, Megan Jones yelling at the dark brown haired boy who she now knew as Harper.

"This has nothing to do with you Megan." Harper said as he turned to face Megan. But before Megan could reply Ginny said "To be truthfully honest I don't see why he needs a picture of you; but maybe the Daily Prophet needs to see what a Banshee child looks like."

Most of the students started to laugh and Megan smiled as she looked at Ginny, but as the two friends shared a thoughtful moment it was Harper, who was now glaring at Ginny who now spoke. "No one asked you red!" Ginny was about to speak When Professor McGonagall reappeared at the entryway of the Great Hall.

"I see we have the pleasure of another Weasley this year" She said as she made her way through the crowd. Harper said with a whisper "So, you're a Weasley are you? I should have guessed when I saw the red hair."

"Look here, we have a bright one." Ginny said sarcastically but loud enough for Megan to hear who immediately muffled a laugh.

"Come children it's time for the sorting to begin." Professor McGonagall said as she separated the two. Ginny felt that there was a moment when the professor gave her an odd look, and wondered if she would be the first to receive a detention even before being sorted. But then she thought that maybe the look meant something else.

As Ginny walk through the hall with the rest of the first years, she notice her brothers sitting at the Gryffindor table and tried not to laugh as Fred and George and made childhood faces in her direction, Percy however just gave her a dignified nod.

She was looking at all the professors sitting at the staff table, where she saw Professor Dumbledore who appeared to be looking at her with the same odd look that Professor McGonagall had gave her earlier. There was another professor quickly leaving through the back door who by the description of her brothers must be Professor Snape.

One by one the sorting went Mandy Brocklehurst was sorted into Ravenclaw, Derek Fenwick was sorted into Hufflepuff. It was Harper's turn and by his attitude, Ginny was guessing that he would go to Slytherin, and it was as if she was a Seer herself. As he made his way to the Slytherin table Ginny looked over to see the blond hairs of Draco Malfoy, the boy who had called her Harry's girlfriend at Flourish and Blotts.

"MacDougal Isabel ----- Ravenclaw."

"Entwhistle, Roger ----- Gryfffindor."

Before she had time to be annoyed at the site of Draco she heard Megan's name being called and almost instantly Ginny hope her friend would be sorted into Gryffindor

"Jones, Megan."

Megan looked nervous as Professor McGonagall place the Hat on her head. But A few moments later she went to Hufflepuff.

When it was her turn, Ginny felt a little nervous, her thoughts drifted to Harry.

Would they be spending time together on weekends?

Would they one day train together to fight Dark Wizards?

Could she ever learn to relax around Harry?

Thoughts rang in her head as the hat was placed upon her head she listened intensely as the sorting hat was speaking to her.

"Ah --- a Weasley girl I see, as brave as the six before you. But I see you're future is cloudy, for I see darkness that may lie in the choices you make. Yes, choose your friends wisely young Weasley as you make your way in "GRYFFINDOR."

Ginny saw her brothers smiling as she made her way to the Gryffindor table. But her mind drifted back to the outcome of Ronald and Harry. As she sat down between the twins she noticed the boy from the hall, the one with the camera smiling in her direction.

"Hi, I'm Colin Creevey." He said from the other side of the table. "I – I wanted to thank you and your friend for helping me earlier."

"What's this?" said Fred as he quickly turned away from his friend Lee Jordan. "It's nothing." Ginny said "Megan and I, was helping Colin here, who almost got lost outside the great Hall." She was surprised to see that Colin responded to her cautionary look by telling Fred. "Yes I went to shoot some pictures and forgot how to get back." Ginny wanted to change the subject but before she could say a word, there was a whisper from the Slytherin table.

"Psssst, -- pssst, -- Weasley, ------ Hey Weasley…….. No, ----- not you two, I'm talking to Potters girlfriend." Draco Malfoy snapped at both Fred and George as they turned around with Ginny. He had a smirk on his face and worse yet; Harper was sitting across from him and he was sharing the same stupid smirk as Malfoy.

"Where's your boyfriend Weasley? In fact, where's that stupid brother of yours?" Draco said. He was now smiling even more then when he first began.

"Shut up Malfoy?" Hermione said before Ginny could retort.

"Oh that's right Granger, you don't know. Well it looks like you'll have to find some new playmates this year. Because I don't think you'll be seeing them around here anymore."

"You mean to tell me that SHE-- is Potters girlfriend." Harper said, as the grin on his face seemed to grow even larger now. "That explains why she can't mind her own business. We'll see how much mouth you have, now that your boyfriend is getting expelled.

"Shut up Harper" Ginny replied. Secretly she like the sound of Harry as her boyfriend but she wasn't going to let these Slytherins know it.

It was obvious that they knew something. Something that was going to have to wait until later to learn as more students from both tables were now looking to see what was going on.

Not wanting to draw anymore attention Fred and George immediately made her turn around as Professor Dumbledore called forth the feast.

"Sounds like they know what happen to Ron and Harry?" Ginny said as she poured herself a glass of Pumpkin juice. "Dumbledore can't expel them; I mean they had no choice. They had to take that car" Hermione said. She placed a few small pieces of roasted chicken on her plate.

"What car?" George said. Helping himself to some pork chops. "No they didn't - - - did they" Fred said as he looked at Hermione then to Ginny. "Yes." Ginny replied. "They took dads car, Hermione and I saw it briefly when we were on the train."

'Wicked!" The twins said in unison. "Why didn't we think of that?"

"Can they get expelled for that?" Ginny asked. "Well it is against the decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry to use magic outside of school." Hermione said.

"But they didn't use magic that was dad's car." Fred said.

"Well it's her decision now." Replied Percy, until now he had not said a word about the situation. But now he was pointing at the staff table as Professor Snape who had just returned was talking to a woman whose black hair was tied in a bow. "That's Professor McGonagall talking to Professor Snape, if Ron was so stupid to use Dad's car to fly here it will be up to her to decide." Percy said as he split open another bake potato. "Don't call Ronald stupid" Hermione said. "That was rather mean of you." Ginny said. Percy however just ignored them both and said. "Well in any case we'll have to wait until after dinner to see."
