Tisn't often...

[Ginny Weasly]

It wasn't often that Ginny was at the school. She had agreed to be a substitue teacher for extra money, and she had agreed to teach a weekly class. But she spent most of her time at home, or at her parent's home. She wasn't as sociable as she had been years past, and was actually a lot happier because of it.

Less people, less stress.

Today was the first day of her weekly class. It had been decided that she only need teach this class once a week, since most of the kids would catch on quickly. It was a strange class...a mix between Divination, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, and Potions. In fact, there was a little bit of every class that was taught at Hogwarts in her class. Ginny was simply passing on her knowledge of survival.

She stood now inside of an empty classroom, her back to the door. She stared out the window, wanting nothing more than to see her baby. Both of her babies, actually. But she and Xaver had sen each other only in passing lately. She worried about him. And she worried about Cody. Not seeing his dad was really hurting the boy. She sighed as the bell rang, loud and obnoxious.

Billie walked into Ginny class dreading it. She made sure she got a desk in the front corner as she starting thinking of ways to get to know her more. Then the rest of the student started pouring in groups at a time.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny flinched slightly when the late bell rang and the last of the students poured into the room. She turned then, facing the room with a small smile. She looked to the door, and the second she laid eyes on it, it snapped closed. She didn't use a wand, or a spell to do it. She had simply closed it. From across the room.

She walked slowly to the front of the room, tapping her desk, watching the students watch her. All was silent, except for the occasional squeak of sneakers from somebody shifting in their seat. Ginny pursed her lips, then let out a low breath, "Hi guys. I'm used to seeing most of you, but a few of you I've never seen before...I'm Ginny Weasly. I'm your teacher for this...class." For lack of a better word.

She watched them, then shrugged, "So um...what do you guys want to learn about today?"

[I loves YOUz]

Billie raised her hand "Whats your favorite class to teach"?" she said trying to suck up to her so they could become friends. "Because if its a subject you dont like then you wont teach it as well as a class that you like andI think since your the teacher you should choose" she said and out on her best fake smile then she looked down on the table and was ready to start working

[Ginny Weasly]

"My favorite...class..." Ginny was caught of guard with that one, "Um...well...I don't..." She stopped, confused with herself, causing the class to giggle. She flushed slightly, laughing with them, "Sorry guys. My head isn't on right today. I guess today we'll just go over some goals for this semester, ok?"

She turned, picking up chalk, "Okay, goal number 1, "She began to write on the board, reading aloud as she did so. "'To be able to protect my self.' Okay, I assume you all get the idea of this one, right?"

[I loves YOUz]

Billie sighed and put her head down as a tear rooled down her cheek she quickly wiped it away beofre Ginny saw then she looked back up and made some note "How do you protect yourself?" Billie asked before she could stop herself

[Ginny Weasly]

"Well, this class will be about me teaching you how to protect yourself." She grinned, then stopped, "Or do you mean how do I protect myself?"

Ginny smiled slightly, her eyes lighting up with the warm smile. Her teeth shone white in the sun, and her hair glistened a bright red. She looked even younger from the flush on her cheeks that came from being slightly embarrassed and confused.

"That's something I'll be doing a lot. You guys will get so tired of my stories." She laughed.

[I loves YOUz]

"How do you protect yourself I mean do you get help from the Ministry or the schools?" She said and smiled as she wrote a little more down on her report to the ministry about Ginny then sadness find her again

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smiled widely, "I protect myself...by myself." She paused, a flash of anger in her eyes, "The Ministry is useless. They are corrupt, weak, and worthless." She shook her head, her obvious anger dissipating slowly.

"I protect myself with everything I can. I am a skilled witch, with and without a wand. I am probably the most powerful psychic you'll ever meet, and I know how fist fight pretty dam well." She grinned, "You'll understand all."

She turned back to the board, "Goal number two. 'To be able to protect those I love.' Get that one?"

[I loves YOUz]

Billie wrote everything down that Ginny said and then stopped and looked at the board "How do you keep yours safe I mean do you go behind someones back that you know hasn't done anything wrong?" Billie asked her putting her notes up

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smiled sadly, "I used top think I would never do something like that." She told Billie. She looked at the class with sad eyes. A boy in the back spoke up.

"Used to?" He asked.

Ginny nodded, "Before I fell in love. Before my son was born."She hesitated, "Now, I will do anything to keep those I love safe and happy...even if it means doing many other things that are wrong."

[I loves YOUz]

"Would you ever blame someone for something they didn't do?" she asked

[Ginny Weasly]

"If I had no other option." Ginny said softly. She sighed, "I'd try to find some other way...but if I had to, I would."

She wrote again on the board, "Goal number three, 'to always follow Life's Laws.' I'll teach you all of those, so no worries."

[I loves YOUz]

Billie kept quiet and started to write things down again

[Ginny Weasly]

"Okay..um, I can't think of anything else right now." Ginny chcukled, putting th chalk down and brushing off her hands.

"As you can tell, this class is gong to be very personal for me...so is there anything you guys want to know?"
