I really couldn't wait for the stupid feast to end, sitting there surrounded by everyone else chomping away at their food, i just wanted them to all hurry up so we could get to the Rose Garden. I mean that was the major event of the evening, not the Ghosts singing some stupid song. Eventually we all trooped into the grounds, i didn't hear what Dumbledore said, something about putting your wand in the well and stirring, i was too busy trying to catch a glipse of Maghnus's Father. He was there with someone from the ministry, an insignificant looking person who was just looking plain nervous. Seeing as we were being called to the well alphabetically i had a lot of time to waste, I managed to find Maghnus in the crowd and he took me over to meet his Father, who was most gracious and kind and kissed my hand when i stuck it out for him to shake. he seemed to look at me really hard, as if he was looking for something in particular, it was weird. I wasn't quite sure what to do i wanted to make a good impression and i hope i did, i don't want to let Maghnus down, everyone else thinks Weasleys are scum and i want to prove them wrong.
"Weasley, Ginevra" You know hardly anyone calls me that, they had to call my name twice before i realised that it was my turn to dip my wand in the well - i'm such an idiot. I hadn't really been noticing what had happened when everyone else had stirred the water so i was surprised when the water turned dark blue with beautiful silver sparks as soon as my wand broke the surface of the water. I looked up and was told to go back - that was it!? we just dipped our wands in water, all that secrecy for that. I went back over to Maghnus and Mr Lestrange who seemed happy with my result, I'm not sure what it means but at least it didn't just stay normal, i saw that Zabini girl do it and the water didn't sparkle or change colour at all. We were then told to go back to the Great Hall or our common rooms - neither of which was a particularly appealing option i have to say. I said Goodnight to Mr Lestrange, who took my hand and kissed it again, and then made my way back to the castle.

Magh said I was special...he was right.
