Ginny sat in the Ravenclaw common room in an armchair. Actually, she was sitting upside down, with her hair touching the floor. She had a water orb in her hands and was throwing it into the air and catching it, a dangerous sport.
Elemental orbs contained alot of power, and if one broke, that element overwhelmed everything in the area. For example, Ginny's water orb would cause a gigantic flood inside the entier castle.
But Ginny actually knew how to use orbs. Kiara and Lavender had taught her years ago. And Ginny loved the element of water. She was great with it, but she also knew the other elements.
The last bell of the day rang, freeing students of their classes. Ravenclaws poured into their common room, and only a few first years gave her odd looks. The older students knew Ginny, or at least, about her, and knew that she had status equal to that of a teacher, even though she was only 17.
"Hi there Ginny." Sarah siad as she went in and threw her bag on the couch.
"What you going in here." Sarah was thinking about going out and drawling but changed her mind.
"Being bored." Ginny said, lightly, throwing the orb high into the air and catching it. She threw it again, making it dissapear in mid-air and sat up so she could face Sarah.
"I have a meeting with the newest Minister of magic, Mr. Johnson in about an hour, but I've nothing to do till then." She shrugged.
"really that sounds cool. I have to go to works. Dumbledore worked hard for me to get a job filing papers. It is a great one. He did it so I know about the ministry. I'm going to a party at some point." Sarah siad as she started to brush and curl her hair.
"Sounds fun." Ginny said, wistfully, remembering when she went to parties. She grinned now, though.
"You gonna work for the ministry?"
"Ya right. The Malfoys are going to be there." Sarah siad as she looked at him.
"Well ya I want to but I don't think I will. So are you going to go. I will go with you if you want." Sarah siad happy.
"Go where?" Ginny asked a bit confused.
"If I were you, I'd avoid the Ministry...working there sucks."
"Well I was saying to the ministry." Sarah siad as she smiled.
"Why should I stay away from them that has always been my dream."
"Because working there sucks like nothing else. I work there." She grinned.
"Yeah, I'm going to the Ministry. I should go say hi to my dad before my meeting anyway. I miss my parents."
"well you want to go together." Sarah siad as she was now dressed to go to work.
"What should I do then. All I ever wanted since I was muggle born was to work for them."
"Sure." Ginny jumped up and snapped her fingers. Instantly, she was in her black work robes. She looked older than she was.
"I dunno. But I wouldn't work for them if I were you."
"You want to take us there or how do you want to get there. I have to be there in 10 minutes." Sarah siad as she used a spell to put on har robes with an intern button on it.
"I will try to find another job but I'm not sure anywhere else will take me you going to the party."
"Maybe. I don't go to many parties anymore." She smiled, "And yeah, I'll take us there."
She touched Sarah's shoulder and in a second they appeared int eh Ministrys front Lobby, right in front of the fountain.
"well Ginny. I'll talk to you later. I'm over there if you ever need something." Sarah siad as she walked over to her bdesk and started to file the papers on her desk.
She then waved at ginny. Sarah loved this job why did Ginny not.
Ginny waved back before going down one of the long hallways, to an elevator, and then to her father's offfice. She knocked once and then walked in, smiling at her dad.
"Ginny. What a nice surprise. Come in, come in, how have you been? How's everyone? We miss you at home." Arthur Weasly spared no breath as her pulled Ginny in and found her a seat. Ginny sat back and smiled.
"I've been fine, so is everyone else. I miss you too, dad." Ginny grinned.
"Your mum is worried because you never write." Arthur said, shaking his head at his youngest. Ginny smiled, sadly.
"Tell mum I love her, but it's hard to write everyday."
Sarah started to file the papers wondering who else she might see.
After a small visit with her father, Ginny stood and gave him a hug.
"Sorry dad, but I have a meeting with the Minister." She told him as she left.
Arthur watched Ginny leave and frowned. Molly wouldn't be happy to hear that her daughter looked overworked. Molly would probably storm the Ministry in protest.
Ginny went to the elevator and went up a few floors, arriving on the floor where the Minister's office was. She sighed, before knocking. She knew Mr. Johnson through Max, one of her friends from school. But now he was her boss. How confusing.
~~Skipping the meeting~~
Ginny came out of his office in basically the same mood about an hour later. Now she was wondering if she wanted to go to that party that Sarah had mentioned. After all, the Malfoys would be there and it turned her stomach to think she may have to spend an evening with Narcissa.
Sarah had got done filling the papers and thing that she needed to do.
"Lets see the papers our filed. Owls with messages are quiet. I'm done but my shift is not over." Sarah then started to look for paper.
She found one and started to drawl an little baby in her mothers arms. Then the baby became a young girl with her two older brothers getting her to do something else. Last it ended up with the girl Graduating school and starting a job.
The girl was wearing a long robe. It was Sarah. She had finished hogwarts at the top of her class and she was givin a job at the ministry part time while she drew proffesional and made great money.
"Man if only that would come true." Sarah siad as she started at her picture as it kept changing and going threw those steps.
"If only what was true?" Ginny said, walking up, looking more tierd than ever. She smiled, though, at Sarah, for she truley liked the girl.
Sarah looked up shocked.
"Hi there ginny when was your metting over. I only did it because I have my work finished." Sarah siad trying to cover herself. She really did not want to get fired.
"You meeting for good."
Ginny laughed, realizing the girl must be worried about her job.
"Don't worry. If there ever was a slacker, it's me!" She smiled and sat in a chair next to Sarah and grinned.
"Having fun?"
"sure if you call being bored out of your mind fun. I mean no phone calls. All the papers are filled and I still have 2 hours." Sarah said as she started to drawl one of her, Lavy, Cho, Ginny, Siruis sitting by the lake happy.
"Want out early?" Ginny asked, grinning. Whether Sarah knew it or not, Ginny could get her some time off. Ginny herself just left whenever she felt like it, but then, she wasn't an intern anymore.
"ya." Sarah siad as she turned to Ginny.
"But how I mean I have to answer phones and be here to direct people to the right place, and can't forget bored out of my mind." Sarah siad as she looked at Ginny wondering.
"I can't lose my job Dumbledore worked really had to get me this job. I can't blow it."
Ginny paused, leaning back in her seat as she watched people walk by. After a few moments of silence she yelled out to a passer by.
"Peter!" She yelled, to an older man. He might have been about 18, by the looks of him. He came running over, eager to help the young, pretty girls.
"Hi Ms. Weasly. How are you today?" He asked, practically tripping over his Intern robes.
"Where are you going to Intern today?" Ginny asked him.
"With you'r brother, Percy." Peter said, frowning. He liked most of the Weasly's, but Percy was a snob.
"Mind taking over Sarah's job?"
"What about Mr. Weasly?" He asked. he didn't want any trouble.
Ginny smiled, "I'll take care of him. What do you think, Sarah?"
"well sure I don't mind and besides it is quiet. So it not that hard." Sarah siad as she though about it.
"Well sure why not Peter you can take it. I've been here for like ever."
Peter smiled, "It beats working for Percy Weasly!" he said, lauging. Ginny smiled and stood.
"C'mon Sarah, we need to stop by Percy's office and...explain to him." She laughed and waited for Sarah.
Sarah got up and went with Ginny she was not sure she wanted to mess with Percy though.
"ok but your talking and besides I need to give this file to him." Sarah siad as she grabed the file that had something for him that came in the mail.
"No problem." Ginny lead Sarah to the elevators and rode down a few floors, then walked to percy's office, knocking on the open door.
"Mr. Weasly?" She called in a fake shrill voice. Percy looked up from his files and grimenced.
"Ginny. What do you want?" He said, adjusting his glasses and laning forward as Ginny steped into the room.
"Why, dear brother! I don't want anything!" She said, sounding shocked. She grinned and sat on the corner of his desk. He frowned. Ginny smiled back at him, "By the way, have you met one of the newest interns? This is Sarah." She said, nodding towards Sarah.
"hi there." Sarah said as she walked in and fixxed her glasses.
"this is for you it came during the mail. I just now got to give it to you." Sarah siad she then flattened her skirt she wanted to make a god impression so that she could get a better job later.
"If you ever need anything don't ever worry just find me and I will try to help."
Ginny smiled, "Polite, isn't she? Hard to believe I taught her." She looked to her brother, who was actually trying to avoid look at her. She smirked as he nodded towards Sarah and took the envelope.
"Thank you." He said stiffly.
Ginny waited a few moments, but when he didn't say anything, she grinned, "Well, Percy, I'm also here to tel you rhat you've lost your assistant for the day."
"What?" Percy looked up, disbelieving.
"Yes, sir. I've stolen him and made him take over another job." Ginny said, happily.
"You...you can't do that!" He yelled, getting angry.
"Um...yeah. I can. Do you forget, dear brother, that I rank higher than you?" She hopped off his desk and patted his head.
Sarah when they started to talk with thoughs things. She decided that she might want to hide while they fight.
"Ginny I think I'll wait out side." Sarah siad as she stepped out the door.
Sarah then sit on the floor and started to drawl Precy's room with him in it. He was happy but his desk had papers piled on it.
Cho went to the ministry to do something for a teacher. She saw Sarah and said,"Hey Sarah!" Then Cho noticed she was sitting on the floor drawing. "Umm why are you sitting on the floor? Ooh that's a nice drawing, who is that guy in the picture though?"
"oh it is just Ginny's annoying brother Precy. She go me of work so I'm waiting for her." Sarah siad as she pointed to the door.
"I never liked him growing up though." Sarah then added a spell that the thing then went all over the place and he had to pick them up on his own.
Cho softly chuckled and asked,"Where is Ginny anyways...fighting with her brother??"
"I'm not sure I know she is in there though." Sarah then slid the picture under the door but made sure no one could tell she drew it.
Cho shook her head as Sarah slid the drawing under the door. "Whose room is that??"
"Percy and Ginny. I thought that might get something for percy to worry about. You know to let Ginny leave since it is him in the photo." Sarah siad as she tried to hold back laugher.
"I hope that it will make him to worried that his desk and papers are going to go everywhere."
Suddenly, there was some yelling, then a loud bang, and Ginny walked out, twirling her wand in her fingers. She smiled at Sarah and Cho.
"Hi there." She smiled.
"Hi there Ginny." Sarah siad looking at him.
"Question what happened in there. What did you do? Why is your wand out." Sarah was trying to tell what happened.
"Well, Percy started freaking out....and happened to call our mother and father various names. As his little sister, I felt I should correct his thinking. So I hexed him." She laughed, almost hysterically. She thought it was funny as hell.
"What Hex did you use. That had nothing to do with the photo that was in his room on the floor right." Sarah siad as she looked at Ginny she was now sort of worried for percy.
"No...that just added to his spaz attack." Ginny said, laughing.
"Oh ya I had not part in that I promise." Sarah siad as she looked at her.
"You ready to go."
"Sure. So...what's the deal with this party, later?" Ginny said, rolling her shoulders and putting her wand away.
"well it is some of the inturns getting together and just hanging out and the three broom sticks. But your cool so I though maybe you would want to come alone." Sarah also was going to drawl them making fools of them self.
"I dunno...how would a bunch of interns feel if their boss shows up?" She asked, doubtful.
"Well I'm not sure but I don't know if it will be much fun either." Sarah did not get alone with lots of them
Ginny thought about it then shrugged, "Eh, why not. I deserve some fun sometimes."
"well it starts at 5'o clock at the The broom sticks. It should be fun." Sarah siad happy that her mentor was going.
"5? Alright. Anything else I should know?" Ginny asked, leading her away from Percy's office door.
"Well not that I'm sure of. Becides you bring your own money." Sarah siad as she went to thinking.
"No worries about that. I always pay for my own drinks." She laughed.
"well I think that is about it. I'll see you later." Sarah said smileing.
"Alright." Ginny said, streaching her arms above her head and turning.
Sarah was in charge of setting it up so she headed off to the three broomsticks to get ready. She did not relize it but since she got off early she got finished with like 2 hours to spare. She she got out her drawling pad.
Sarah drew herself in a beautiful white wedding gown. Then she drew someone she was dancing with. She did not know who it was but the picture turned out the best she ever drew.
*well this is boring*
Although Ginny wasn't anywhere near Sarah, she still heard the thought. Ginny had stayed at the Ministry, doing some quick paperwork. She did all her own filing, because she had seen too many people get in trouble for some secretary being a dope. She had many diffrent filing cabnits, because she was one of the few people to have more than one job with the Ministry.
~Yes, you sound estatic.~ Ginny sent back, softly.
Sarah was shocked that Ginny Heard her.
*Sorry. No I'm just bored out of my mind because since you got me out early I went to step up and now I can't leave. I'm finished and still have 2 hours to go.* Sarah really bored that she was tring to flick things into a glass.
~Ah...relish your bored moments. You won't have many of those someday.~ She thought back, as a shadow fell across her desk.
"What do you want?" She asked the person, sadly. It was an old man, leaning on a cane.
"You went back to your madien name. I had trouble finding you." he said.
*Okay I will I can't wait for you to get here.* Sarah siad as she smiled.
*why will I not have many someday.* Sarah was starting to wonder if Ginny knew anything.
~That wasn't a truth, hun. It was a guess. Someday you'll be busy and miss boredness.~She shook her head and looked back at the man.
"Yes, I changed my name. I have that right." She told him, shortly. Ginny didn't feel bad. He had taken Conan's side.
"Yes, I suppose you do."
*Oh okay well I'll see you at 5. I better find something to do*
~Alright. See you then.~
"What do you want?" She asked him, softly.
"He wants to see you. He needs help." The old man said, shaking his head.
"Of course he does." Ginny said, rolling her eyes.
Sarah worked on a picture that she thought would be great for the party. She had some paint and things and she drew and colored a picture that siad welcome to the party and had fireworkes that moved.
"Tell him I don't care." Ginny said, standing.
The old man looked at her, "But-"
"I. Don't. Care. Leave, please." She said, sadly. He sighed.
"Ginny, please."
"No."
"I'll try again later." He said, turning and walking out of her office. She sighed and rubbed her eyes. Why was this happening? She shook her head and walked out of her office, closing and locking the door behind her and started out of the Ministry.
~Want some help?~ She sent to Sarah.
*Sure maybe you can think of something to add to it.* Sarah siad as she put the other poster she drew the exact same up.
~Ok.~ Ginny walked to the Lobby and dissappeared, reappreaing beside Sarah. Now she wore jeans and a blue t-shirt. She smiled at Sarah.
"You did a great job." She said.
"thanks. I think I'm missing something though." Sarah siad looking around she could not see nothing though.
"Food?" She asked, grinning. She hadn't eaten all day, and she was hungry now that she thought about it.
"Oh ya well that is great." Sarah said as walked over to get some.
"Why type do we want."
"Anything!" Ginny sad, truthfully. She flushed a bit, surprised at herself.
"well here then." Sarah siad a spell and all sorts of candy begin to fill the bowls.
Ginny smiled, briefly remembering a little girl who loved candy and then shook her head. No time for sad memories now.
"That should work."
Sarah grabbed a piece.
"Ya now we wait." Sarah then smiled she used to love parties.
(hey why don't you pm some of your buddies to join us)
Cho smirked and said,"Well Percy deserves it....well I think....so let's go..."
((go where...LOL))
"Oh well this party is great." Sarah siad as she smiled.
(three broomsticks.)
((we're at the party already?))
"haha, it will be." Ginny said, laughing.
((Yup))
Cho went to get a drink and said,"Well I totally agree with you Sarah."
"Well I hope. I feel like it might be weird." Sarah siad as she looked at the food and grabbed a butterbeer to calm her nerves.
Cho pushed the plate of food in front of her and urged Sarah to eat.
Ginny garbbed Sarah's butterbeer from her hands and shook her head.
"You, dear, have a drinking problem."
"no I don't." Sarah said looking at them.
"It just helps calm the nerves. Tea did not do that no more after I started to train." Sarah siad as she looked at the food she was not hungry.
Ginny laughed, "I told you that you'd have problems. Promise me no more drinking, ok? I don't want a call from Madame Rosemerta saying I have to come down because someone else got drunk." Ginny shut her mouth, as she had, in a roundabout way, mentioned that last time a student of her's had gotten drunk.
"Fine." Sarah siad she was not going to promise because she knew more then this place to drink this was just the most popular one.
Ginny shook her head, sadly. She couldn't make Sarah promise, and she knew that the girl would have to hit rock bottom before she'd be able to fix herself.
"I'm not hungry there Cho." Sarah siad as she pushed the food away.
"Well I was about to say that you should stop drinking and should just eat....but Ginny here took my words." Cho said.
"fine I'm not hungry though. When does they party start."
Cho looked around at the large crowd dancing. "The party has started. I'm going to find someone." Cho waved a small bye and left them to find someone to dance. Some one tapped her on her shoulder.
"Well Ginny I don't feel like dancing but you can." Sarah siad she figure when all them left maybe she could get a butterbeer.
"I don't mind."
Ginny laughed, "Me? Dance? You are crazy, kid." She laughed, shaking her head.
"Oh ok that is fine thought that I would at least give you the chance though."
"Thanks, but no thanks!" Ginny said, still laughing.
Sarah smiled.
"So what you want to talk about." Sarah knew that ment no more butterbeer for her.
She turned to see a guy. She smiled and said before he said anything,"Come and meet my wnderful friend." She led this guy to Sarah. "Sarah he wants to dance with you." Cho said smiling.
"Hi there I'm Sarah." Sarah siad as she smiled and held out her hand.
"I would love to dance with you though."
Ginny leaned back in her chair, smiling at the younger girls. Something pushed at the back of her mind, but she pushed it out before it found a way in.
"Have fun." She told Sarah.
*I'll try Ginny but I really want a Butterbeer* Sarah sent to her making sure Cho did not hear.
"Well how about that dance." Sarah siad to him.
"Would I be blessed to get a name." Sarah smiled.
"Thanks Cho."
max appeared, looking desheveled."hey ginny..." He looked around. "I decided to see what you were up to before we met.(when you say mr.johnson, you mean me, right?um, let's go with that.)
Cho smiled and said to Ginny,"Just needed to get her away from the butterbeer."
Jay wanted to dance with the other girl but decided to make this one happy an dance with the other one. He slightly smiled and danced with her. Then after a while he said,"Umm I have a headache right now....might have been the butterbeer.....umm I'll just go sit down."
((ooh Sarah what are you going to do?the butterbeer word must have rang in your head....LOL))
((Actually, I meant your dad, but oh well. It can mean you, lolz.))
((oh yeah Sarah....you don't know what he's thinking....LOL...harsh))
"thanks fine. I think I need to go eat and have something to drink any ways." Sarah knew that he did not want to be with her but she was not going to put it down. Instead she went and sat at the bar. She order her self some pumkin juice but it can in the butterbeer glass.
Jay went to find the other girl. He tapped her and sad,"Do you want to dance?"
Cho smiled and said,"Sure." She didn't know it was the same guy that tapped her before.
"Hey I'm Jay. You might be wondering why I asked you to dance. I really like your appearance and your smile."
Cho said timidly,"I'm Cho." She blushed at Jay's comment.
Jay held her hand warmly and smiled dancing with Cho.
Sarah was happy for Cho. She knew cho was sweet and glad guys liked her. Sarah also knew that the reason she was always upset was the fact that she had a problem.
Cho said,"Wait let me go check up on my friend."
Jay nodded, smiled and said,"I'll go get us some punch."
Cho walked to the bar."Sarah....please stop drinking..." Cho said forgetting that she was supposed to be dancing with a guy.
"Hey there Cho. It is pumpkin juice." Sarah siad looking at her.
Cho said,"Ok then....that's good....talk later....Jay might be looking for me."
Jay came back with punch and found Cho. "Here you go, Cho." He said smiling.
Cho took the punch and said,"Thanks Jay."
*I will. I'm not even thinking about it when Ginnys here.* Sarah siad as she got another glass.
*Well that is good news....Ginny is really helpful I see.*
Jay sat down next to Cho and felt around for his keys thinking he lost it. He touched Cho's hands accidently and blushed.
*ya you should be proud that is the only reason I'm not though.* Sarah looked over at them she was happy for her friend.
Cho blushed feeling a warm hand on her hand. She realized it was Jay's.
Jay immediately took off his hand and coughed fakely. "Umm well what should we do now?"
*Cho I'm going over to the tea shop talk to you later. I'm so tired of being alone here.* Sarah said as she started out the door.
*Wait you want me to go with you?*
*Cho who wants you to go out with you* Sarah said as she heard cho talking to herself.
*You want me to Sarah?*
*Ya go I'll be fine. I'm at the tea shop drinking Tea.* Sarah siad as she was rearrangin her table.
*Well if you want to go drink tea by yourself....I'm here to help just remember that.*
*well I don't want to by my self but I don't want you to leave your date.* Sarah sent back.
*ok...but I could just leave him right here and now....*
*No i said. Jay don't like me he likes you. It seems everyone does* Sarah siad she really wanted a butter beer but was not going to.
*We just met....anyways he is just dancing with me....I'm going with you.*
((I haven't told you his name is Jay yet....LOL))
*No dance with him. Stay I'm fine*
(I danced with him frist remeber and we meet each other)
((never told you his name....LOL.....I thought that might have been better...wait where are you going again?))
(Oh okay sorry lets say I said that guy insead of Jay. The tea shop)
((ok tea shop....just wondering))
Cho had a worried look as she heard Sarah's message but sent back*Ok,see you later.*
Jay saw her worried look and asked her with a gentle tone,"What happened Cho?"
*okay see you later* Sarah siad as she started to drawl and drink pumkin juice.
Cho looked up into his chestnut eyes and smiled. She said shaking her head,"Just worried about my friend.
Jay grabbed her by the waist and said playfully,"Cho you're going to learn how to have fun once in a while!"
Sarah was used to being alone so she was drawling her lowly room with everything neat.
"Well that is a change."
Jay danced with her smiling.
Cho laughed and said to Jay,"Okay some fun for today."
