[Ginny Weasly]

"Absolutely. For example, today you learned that one of your teachers is not only young, she also dropped out of school when she was 15." Ginny laughed, shaking her head. "Anything else you'd like to learn today?"

She was joking, of course. But she was so used to exposing herself in class that if he actually did ask a question, she'd answer as truthfully as she could.

[Virgil Hendrix]

Virgil started laughing at the joke, as he then said "Teacher, I believe you forgot one thing.  I also learned that my teacher is way tougher than she looks." joking back.  Virgil liked this new teacher, as she was pretty cool, and not like most of the other teachers he met.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny winked, "Tough as nails." She agreed with him.

"Had to be. I was an auror for three years." She held up three fingers on her good hand, "From the time I was 14 until I was 17." One of the youngest to have ever done the job. And that was along with two other jobs she'd had at the time.

[Virgil Hendrix]

Virgil, once again, was surprised when he said Auror.  He, himself knew a few Aurors, along with his god father, that was an Auror.  "You were an Auror?  I knew a few Aurors when I was younger." he said.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smiled, "And head of the Wizemagot." She said, pushing her hair from her face and nodding.

"That was years ago, though. Wouldn't be caught dead working in the Ministry today." She laughed, "Actually, yeah. I would be dead if I went in there."

[Virgil Hendrix]

Virgil was astounded at all the things that Ginny was able to do by the age of 20.  "I can't believe you did all of that before the age of 20!  You must have really been something special." said Virgil, still slightly amazed.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny laughed, "No, just very determined and a powerful psychic." She tapped her temple and winked again.

She shook her head, "Admittedly, I'm almost 21." She smiled, "Plus, I quit those jobs when I was 17."
She'd resigned from all her positions, had gone into hiding. And had only recently resurfaced.

[Virgil Hendrix]

"Thats really cool.  I don't think I would have nearly that much skill at my age." said Virgil.  "What did you have to go into hiding for?" he then asked.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny looked at him closely for a moment, then smiled sheepishly.

"I was pregnant." She admitted, shrugging her shoulders slightly. Then she blushed. Here she was, telling her life story to a stranger, much less a student.

[Virgil Hendrix]

Virgil was surprised about this statement, as it was almost unbelievable.  "Wow." he said simply, as the statement took him slighly by surprise.  "That must have been hard for you." he then said.

[Ginny Weasly]

"It was." She agreed, "Very hard."

She didn't say that she'd only just turned 17 when she found out. Didn't say that Xaver, the baby's father, had been gone for two months when she found out. Didn't say that she raised her son Cody alone until he was three.

[Virgil Hendrix]

Virgil could only imagine how she must have been feeling back then, as that could be hard on anyone, especially someone her age.  "Wow." said Virgil, after he couldn't think of anything to say.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny coughed, a fake nervous cough.
"Um, yeah." She said, laughing. A deep blush was still upon her cheeks, and she looked throughly embarrassed.

After a moment, she shrugged, "But none of that matters anymore." She said lightly.
"Forget the past, and it can't come back to haunt you."

[Virgil Hendrix]

"I wish it was just that easy, to just forget the past, and it can't hurt..." he said as he looked down to the ground.

[Ginny Weasly]

"Me too." Ginny admitted. She shrugged, "But there is no use thinking about it."
