GINNY WEASLEY: 1 November, 1992

[batbogey_hex]

Dear Mum,

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but something’s going on here. Last night, during the Halloween feast, Mr. Filch’s cat (Mrs. Norris, she’s really rather sweet, if you’re not doing anything wrong) was pret petrifey Petrified

*hugs for Ginny* Oh poor love. Rabastan would be no help because he'd just wittle on about cats but still poor Ginny.

[batbogey_hex]

Aww, Ginny does still appreciate the hugs. She'll need them for this entire crazy year.

And Rab's welcome to comment; I'm sure Ginny wouldn't mind a distraction from Something Weird at Hogwarts. *snuggles*

[greddy_freddy]

Fred will probably not be so astute to notice that anything is going on. But *hugs* for Ginny!

*raises eyebrow humorously* Red stains, eh? Been doing anything you shouldn't?

[batbogey_hex]

Hee, but we love Fred!

*blushes, glancing away*
No. Just... it's probably from Potions, and I just didn't notice. I don't re...

*quickly cuts herself off*

I'm not sure what else I would have been doing that would've ruined my robes like that. Either Potions or Herbology, yeah?

[greddy_freddy]

Oh, hello! The fact that you're here is probably a sign I should go to bed, so I will. ♥ Fred adores Ginny back, just is not very perceptive when it comes to this.

*fondly* Not like you to be so absent-minded. Scary school stuff getting on top of you, or are you handling it?

Probably Herbology - that does tend to be a bit messy.

[batbogey_hex]

*giggles* I was wondering what time it was there. And hee, that's alright. He's Fred Weasley, isn't he? XD *smooch* Good night, dear!

*blush deepens just a bit*
*bites her lip, glancing back at him*
*slight, vaguely uncertain smile*

Yeah. Yeah, I know I'm not.
*shakes her head quickly, saying indignantly*
I'm not scared!

*mutters*
I'm fine.

*somberly*
Hello, Ginny. How are you today?

[batbogey_hex]

*startles with a tiny squeak*
*blinks at Susan for a moment, then blushes*
Sorry. Didn't... hear you for a minute.

*thinks for a moment then shrugs a bit*
I'm okay. As okay as we can be with... what happened on Halloween night, anyway.

*quickly*
How are you?

[just_loyal_true]

*blushes*
Sorry... I didn't mean to scare you.

*shrugs*
Oh, about the same as you, it sounds...
*shivers*
Halloween night was pretty scary, wasn't it?

[batbogey_hex]

*shakes her head quickly, brushing half-heartedly at her cheeks as if to wipe away the blush*
*mumbles*
S'alright. Not your fault.

*glances up at her when she speaks*
*swallows and glances away, nodding faintly*
It was. But I can't remember...

*eyes widen when she realises what she's said, quickly adding*
But I can't remember if Mum or Dad ever mentioned a - a Chamber of anything at Hogwarts. I don't... I don't think anyone knows about it.

[goodasredgold]

Ginny, you're okay?

You don't have to worry about Mrs Norris, Dumbledore and the Professors will work it out.
And Petrification isn't permanent.

[batbogey_hex]

*blinks at her, eyes wide, not sure what the question is supposed to mean*
*flushes slightly when she realises that it's just an innocent question*

*smiles slightly*
I'm... alright. A bit tired, but I guess I'm just a little on-edge about everything right now.

*nods a bit*
Professor Dumbledore's great. I'm sure whatever's happening will be over soon.

[goodasredgold]

*watches Ginny's reaction, trying to work out what she can say*

*excepts the explanation and nods, glad to see Ginny okay*

I'm sure it will be okay.

[batbogey_hex]

*smiles again, nodding*
*echoes*
I'm sure it will be.

*pauses, then curiously*
You, Ron and -
*blushes a bit*
- and Harry didn't get into any trouble last night, did you?
