Awe thanks Emily :glomp:

LOL :lol: yeah me too. But, A friend had requested a smoochy scene. And I'd hate to dissapoint :lol: But your right, it was safe to stop it there!

Well, I don't think I'd be giving away too much when I say he ends up giving her a late present but the first one isn't really too exciting.

Thanks Emily. I will do. :glomp:

Hello Sophie. Thank you for our Christmas post. It was very nice, and I enjoyed it immensely! I think my favorite thing is the way you write Ginny without any misgivings. She's very comfortable with who she is. Who would be able to run downstairs not worrying who might be there to see her in her PJ's and bed hair? Maybe Luna, but, that's the way she is too.:P And maybe that is why she always got on so well with Luna. But, Ginny trusts who she is and what she's made of. I think this is why she is such a strong person. :xd: I don't think that is a problem reserved for witches. It is pretty typical of all teens to think everyone else has it so much easier. Such a very sad thing for Ginny to think about. But, I know I would be worried also. Molly is going through so much. I think a lot of people have a huge misunderstanding about Molly. She is an excellent mother, and she has to always make a happy home for her husband and children. It doesn't matter if it's really dangerous and scary everywhere, she has to keep her family happy and knowing that they are loved, and; Kept in line, all toes where they're s'pose to be.:xd:
Great post Sophie. Happy New Year.

I know what he got her!! Nanananana!!!:P

Great post Soph!!

See you soon:val5:

K xx

Is the friend you were telling Emily about me???:lol:

Great two posts Sophie! I love the talk that gin and Molly have :) I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but I've recently been in the hospital :/ anyways love you, love the post!
*lauren*

She is close to her brothers and so can run around with mad hair and stuff lol :lol:

But Ginny won't know what its like to be a witch so thats probably why she came out with it.

I think its a sad thing for any girl to think about. I, myself value what my mother thinks about me and so therefore won't want her worrying and I hope she knows I am responsible and she can trust me, despite a mothers natural need to worry. Ginny, I don't think realises how close she is to her mum and how much she may actually takes her for granted. :)


Thank you Connie. Happy New Year to you too.:glomp: Hope its a good one !better than the last lets hope


No you don't!!! You know the second present! :P Nananaannana!

Thanks Kit Kat! :glomp:

Uh, I'm actually in a food coma :P

Perhaps

Thanks Lauren!
Well you see, I didn't at first, but looking back, I'm quite happy the was it has turned out.

Don't worry about it Dear. I understand. I hope everything is ok? I here if you need me!

Love You Too :val5: < LOL :lol: its the title and Thank you :glomp:

Hey Everyone. Just to let you all know that I'm hoping to post tonight, but that I wish you all the very best for 2011!
Happy New Year,

Happy New Year xx
 

Post 42

On the window ledge was an owl with its head turned one hundred and eighty degrees to the left; It stood tall and proud. It had long brown feathers and golden eyes. “I thought you might like your own owl to use when writing to your mum, instead of having to use Hedwig.”I gasped “Harry, I love him. Thank you so much.” I hugged him quickly before going over to the window ledge and letting the young owl perch on my arm. “I’m going to call him… um… Barney!”
“Barney?” He asked in surprise.
“Yes! Barney. He is a barn owl after all Harry. But…” I said letting Barney fly out of the window. I turned around with a frown on my face and my hands on my hips. “I thought we agreed no presents.”
“Yeah but it was only a small thing.” He said rolling his eyes.
“A small thing would be like, I don’t know flowers or something like that. I feel awful now that I haven’t got you anything!”“Well don’t be. I’ll love you no matter what. As long as I have you, I really don’t need anything else.” I walked over to my bed where he was lying down and sat beside him. He wrapped his arms around me while I rested my head on his chest.
“I love you Harry. No matter what happens. I’ll love you forever.”
*****
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6,” The house was jumping. Friends and family from all over had come to bring the New Year in “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!” I felt myself being pulled into someone who and picked me up and swung me around. I was clinging to them for dear life, but as the room stopped spinning, they did not let go but waited until I opened my eyes. “Happy New Year, Gin.” Harry whispered. It seemed as if we were holding each other, staring into one another's eyes for hours on end before his eyes looked to my lips, pleading for a touch. The space between us was getting smaller every second. When our lips met, it was utter magic. They were softly in sync, no harsh need for each other. His hands were on either side of my face; my hands instantly went to the back of his head, playing with his messy, black hair. “Happy New Year Harry.” I whispered as I pulled away softly.

***
The Hogwarts Express was only slightly visible as with each puff of smoke it let off, the platform became more and more claustrophobic. “I can’t believe I’m saying bye to you already. I only just got you back.” Mum said pulling me into her body as squeezing me too tightly.
“Mum, it’s been three weeks and I’ll be back in the summer once the exams are over. And listen to me, don’t worry about us. Hogwarts is the safest place for us all.” I gave her a pleading look hoping see would understand what I meant.
“Hermione!” Ron yelled and I turned around to see him brighten up immediately. He half walked, half ran over to her, not wanting to look to egger. He pulled her into a hug and smiled from ear to ear.
“Hi. How are you?” I asked her as she hugged me.
“I’m good. Glad to be back to be honest. And Happy New Year.” She said smiling.
“Yeah, you too.”Hermione’s parents walked over and started making polite conversation with mum. “Ron, you look awfully happy.” I said teasing him. “You can make this boy change his mood like that!” I said snapping my fingers. “It’s a bloody miracle!”
“Awww, stop bullying him!” Hermione said with a smile.
“I think you’ll find that Ron was the one sulking because he didn’t have anyone to kiss under the mistletoe,” said Harry laughing. I joined in and ever Hermione laughed a little.
“Oi!” Ron said outraged, “That’s not fair! I had a great Christmas without Hermione.”We all seemed to stare at him and although the station was noisy, there was a dead silence between the four of us. I could feel Harry’s body beside me, shaking as he laughed silently. I grinned widely but I couldn’t help laugh at the wicked look on poor Hermione’s face.
“Ok, that came out wrong. You know what I mean. And I didn’t mean it like I said it. I just mean I can have a good time without you Hermione.” He looked at her apologetically.
“Ron, if I were you I would shut up now. You are digging yourself deeper into a hole you won’t be able to get out of.” I laughed as we boarded the train and waved and blew kisses to my mum standing alone and solemn looking on the platform. I did my best to smile and look happy but part of me regretted how my goodbye to her was rushed and I knew myself how much I could grow up in another five months. I waved until the platform was out of site and the train noisily sped through the suburbs of London. Harry pulled me into a compartment and I sat across from him. Ron and Hermione were away sorting out “important stuff” as they called it which probably had something to do with being head boy and head girl.
“You know something?” said Harry interrupting my train of thought.
“What?” I asked sounding bored.
“This Christmas, we were supposed to be telling your mum that you’re moving in with me at summer.”I gasped. “Harry, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I just… I … I don’t know. I’m really sorry.” I frowned and hoped I hadn’t hurt his feelings. I got up and sat beside him holding his hand.
“Harry, I still want to move in with you!” I told him truthfully, but then there was still that part of me, clinging to my childhood. The part where I wish I was five and learning how to go a broom for the first time. Where I was mums little girl; where I longed for the summer and Christmas holidays because that was when all my big brothers would come home from Hogwarts and they would fuss over me.
Harry smiled and rubbed my cheek. “No you don’t. Look Ginny, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here forever. There is plenty of time. Give it a year first. I’ll still move in in the summer, you could come round and stay some nights. So could Ron and Hermione but for now I can see that you are still not quite ready to go. You’re only sixteen remember.”“Yes! And I’ll be seventeen in June- The same age my mum and dad got engaged. And by the next year they were married. And then three years later they began popping out children.” I ranted on and on.
“But times have changed Gin. You know that yourself. You miss your mum. I saw it this Christmas. Please just give it a year.”I smiled knowing what he was saying was best and know it was what I needed. “Thank you Harry.” I said jumping into him and giving you a hug.
“You don’t have to thank me for anything. I just know you better than you know yourself.” He laughed. “Oh, I have a surprise for you!”
“Really?” I said excited.
“Well you were talking about turning seventeen there, and it’s funny because, I got you a very very early birthday present…” I gave him a warning look not knowing what to expect. “…something special as you will be of age and you are my most special girls in the world.” He said with a smile then he dived into his bag.
He pulled out a white envelope and placed it into my hands. It read: “A Muggle Experience.”



Hey Everyone :hello: Just to say quickly that I know I have been posting more often than usually but I'm wanting to get as much done before we go back to school on Wednesday. I now have everything planned to the end, it’s just filling in gaps and stuff but we'll worry about that when the time come.
I'd also like to point out that I've let Katie have a Beat break over the Christmas period so I'd like to apologise for any spelling and grammar mistakes.
And finally, I wish you all the best for 2011.
Thanks, :glomp:
Soph xx

Hello Sophie. I don't mind at all you writing and posting more often. I think it's grand.:P

I think Barney is a clever name for Ginny's new owl. Like it a lot. Very nice in site for you to put this in. So very sad though. She's a good girl. So thoughtful of her mom. Love that. I'm so glad they decided this. Very mature of them. Is this what I think it is? Very clever.:P
Great post Sophie. (:blush: I almost called you Ginny again.) I'll be watching for your next.:glomp:

I'm afraid that was the last of the many posts. I'm back to school on Wednesday you see. But I'll still post, maybe not as often :)

I'm glad you like it. I asked my mum for a name and she said "Why? Did you want an owl for Christmas or something?" but she said Stephen Fry at first because she was trying to be funny :), so I had to explain to her it was for Ginny. :lol:

It was but I can't garuntee that things will get happier... :whistle:

I think Ginny has a tendency to worry ike her mum too. :yes:

In my oppinion, they are far too young, but we will see what happens.

I don't know? What do you think it is? Can you tell me? I'd like to hear what you think. Please! :)

Thanks Connie! :lol: Its ok, I would have known what you ment. :glomp:

Great post, Sophie. Very cute, and I'm glad Ginny and Harry are being mature about the living together situation. I think I'm a bit slow this morning, because I can't think what the Muggle Experience thingy is... :erm:

Anyhoo, Please PAMS! :glomp:

Thanks Emily ^_^

Me too :yes:

Its ok! We'll find out in time.

Will do! :glomp:

Aww Soph I didn't realise you went through so much trouble to give me a break! I don't mind reading stuff before everyone else, I rather enjoy it but thank you very much!!:glomp:

Great post! I hope you haven't changed this Muggle Experience from the one I know and love:P

Happy New Year and see you not tomorrow but the next day at school:(

Loving this:val5:

K x

You are very welcome :glomp:

I didn't think you loved it? Maybe it has grown on you!

Yup, see you then Honey Bun!

Soph xx

Connie and I had been talking about the "Muggle Experience" last night and I felt that it was only fair if I told you what I had told her.

The "Muggle Experience is way off the story line, which is what worries me that not everyone will take to it, but because of upcomming events in my life, I just had to put it in because I'm so excited. And I'll let you know something, I found out about this "Event" in June and its happening this June it fitted perfectly into the story for me, so I've had it all planned for quite a while.
I hope I haven't gave much away.

I know what it is!! :woot: That description was so good:lol: I do like it, I don't recall saying I didn't! Make it like our Modern Studies teacher's experience:P :woot:
See you tomorrow:D We'll be getting loads of results:(

K :glomp:

Yeah I said I would, but that was soo weird she started telling me it and I was like OMG, thats on the laptop back home. You remember my face? :lol:

See you tomorrow, bright eyed and bushy tailed! :lol:

S xx

My face too!!:lol: We were both in absolute aww! :D For you it was amazing for Harry and Ginny but for me I just thought it was sweet!
Not sure about bright eyed and bushy tailed, I'll have trouble getting out of bed:lol:

Post 43

He pulled out a white envelope that read “A Muggle Experience.”
“You remembered.” I smiled.
“Well, I thought I’d better do this when I remembered.”
I opened the envelope and inside was two pieces of long rectangular paper with lots of information. I looked more closely.

I looked at him with wide eyes. “We’re going to Rome? ROME!” Holidays were things I knew Muggles did, usually in the summer. “How is this, a Muggle experience?” I couldn’t help but grin.
“Because, for a week, we are going to be Muggles. We won’t apparate there and we won’t use magic.” He laughed, pulling hair out my face. “These,” he said taking the paper from my hand, “are airline tickets.”
“Ah!” I screamed. “We’re going to Rome.” I said punching his arm playfully. “We’re going to Rome.” I couldn’t believe it. I kept saying it to try and get over the realisation. My face hurt because I was smiling so much. “Thank you Harry.” I said hugging him tightly.
“I was going to put the envelope in your trunk before we left so you’d have a surprise, but I’m glad I haven’t now, because then I wouldn’t have got to see your reaction.”
“Just wait till everyone finds out! Oh I can’t wait! Oh thank you!”
“Thank you for what?” asked Ron joining us in the compartment and sitting down across from us.
“Guess what? Harry and I are going to Rome!”
Ron stared at me wide eyed, “Well…Um…that is…Um…Generous…Why?”
“It’s for my birthday!”
“But you’re not seventeen until July. When are you going?”
“You don’t seem too happy, Ron?”
“I don’t know, it’s just…I don’t know…weird. Why? I just…Why couldn’t you just get her a normal thing? Like actually on her birthday?” He asked Harry who laughed.
“Because Ron, We’ll have a full week away from you, and time to spend together alone.which for an other couple, is a pretty normal thing to do.”
Ron raised an eyebrow. “Alone?”
“Yes Ron. Alone!” I said agitated. "What is wrong with that?"
“Oh nothing, we’ll just see what mum and dad have to say.” He smirked.
I rolled my eyes. “Anyway, that will be up to mum and dad to decide- Not you.”We were joined by Hermione just as we crossed steadily of the Glenfinnan Viaduct.



Attachment 4564 Attachment 4565




She seemed to take more warmly to the trip than Ron did. I had a strange feeling about it though. It seemed different like we were about to take an extra step in our relationship and to be honest, it scared me. I left the compartment to get changed into my robes and then I was to attend the prefects meeting.
I slid the door open and heard all my fellow students talking away busily.
“Ginny,” the familiar voice called.
“DEAN!” I huffed loudly. “What the hell are you doing back! How is this even possible? This is an atrocity!” Dean hung his head and he closed his eyes.
“Ginny, it’s not what you think.” I spun around to see the Ravenclaw prefect Holly Slaven with a worried expression. She pushed me out of the compartment and we stood in the isle between compartments. “Well, what don’t I think?” I asked with rage.
“Ginny, Dean’s mother was kidnapped during summer and…You Know Who, well he told Dean to try and get to Harry this year at school, and then his mum would be ok, but she’s fighting for her life in St.Mungos. She’s been really badly tortured. Dean’s really can’t remember much, the Order thought it would be better to erase his memory so he didn’t have any bad things on his mind. He and his mum only got found yesterday. That’s when the Order found them; early yesterday morning.”I was overwhelmed with pity for Dean, embarrassment for myself, disgust, hurt, sadness, wretchedness, and total utter anger for his poor family. I walked back into the compartment and walked over to Dean with tears in my eyes. I hugged him with my life. “I’m sorry Ginny.” He said. His body was limp in my arms. He sobbed occasionally.
“Don’t you dare be sorry.” I said to him wiping his tears. “I hope you are ok. I’m sorry Dean, for what I said before.”The whole compartment was in silence. Everyone was overwhelmed with Grief.



Ok so there you are. I know it is wayyyyyyy off story line! I've been feeling bad about Dean for a wee while now plus Katie made a really nice Dean, and I just had to change him back. Please don't hate me, but I had to put it in. I'm going to Rome with the School in summer and I've been soo excited.
The pictures are ones I had taken myself with my own camera. So I own them. They were taken last year when I went a day trip to a place called Mallaig in my home country, Bonnie Scotland. They are quite small, which I'm gutted about, but They could only be a certain size :( Oh well, whats a girl to do.
So I hope this post wasn't too bad. And please don't hate me if you don't like the idea- I couldn't help myself! Ask Katie!
xx :glomp:

Hello Sophie. I don't understand why you would think we would hate you. I think compassion and love are two of the greatest gifts of all. A person who is able to show compassion even in a story is a valuable person to this world, and I expect great things from them in their lives. The world needs them, and you sweetie, are definitely one of them. I commend you for making the story about Dean a tragedy such as it was. It is way better to think a person could be that way because he was under an evil controller, than to think he was a mental sexual predator. And it was very believable the way you wrote it. I feel better about Dean now, and it's all due to your conscience. :P

Rome! Wow! So exciting. I'm thrilled for Ginny, and it was so sweet of Harry to do this for her. I'm wondering if it will come to pass though, at least when they plan for it. :erm:You ever get a feeling like things aren't going as well as you think they are? And yes, I'm also thinking along the lines that Ron is. But, I really don't think Harry would just do it without consulting them first. We'll see though. So exciting.
Great writing sweetie. OH! And; I'm so very excited for you. I hope everything goes well for you, and I hope you get to see and do everything you have your heart set on. But, please be careful, and come back to us safely.:glomp:

It was just the whole Rome thing! It is way off storyline :lol:

Thank you Connie. You've made my day! :glomp:

What a consciense it is then. I felt so bad about it and when Katie wrote about Dean so well in her story, I had to make him good. It adds the the story too :)

Well, personally I am so excited about me going to Rome, and its good I think if you can put something, not always necsesaraly personal into a story, because if you can put the really emotion you feel for something into a story and drive it all the way, it can turn out pretty good.

Yes all the time! In my English exam I came out thinking I had failed. Then I paniced all of Christmas about it...but I got a 1 so it's all good :D

But remember what Harry said, he was wanting time alone, just with Ginny for a change. And maybe Ron would have stopped Harry, and it wouldn't be a very good surprise if all Ron did was sulk :)

Thanks Connie :) I promise I'll come back safe and sound. I'm away for six days with my school. There is 25 of us going. I can't wait!
I'm glad you took well to the whole Rome thing anyway!
Soph :glomp: xx

Oooh, Rome will be exciting! For you and them! ;) Have fun! ^_^

I feel really sorry for Dean and everything, but this is kind of like the Lovegood-trio incident in DH. I didn't really agree with what he did there and the choices he made, and I don't quite agree with Dean's choices either... I don't know, that's just how I see it. I understand why he did what he did, but I still don't think that's how the situation should have been handled in his case... Sorry if I offend you; I'm really not trying to! It's just going to take a bit more for me to forgive Dean so easily and what not... :glomp:

I think it does add something to the story though, and makes it all a bit more exciting in a way. I'm intrigued to see where you take it all! ^_^

Fantastic post as always, Sophie! Please PAMS! :glomp:

I know I can't wait!

Yeah it is! I never really thought of it like that!

B ut he didn't really know what he was doing. I felt really bad about it and I kind of fitted.

It was a last minuet thing, I have everything else wrote, but I need to fit this in now! :)

Thanks Emily :glomp:
