Crimes of the Light

Chapter 13: Chaos and Serenity

A/n: OMG THANK YOU FOR 200 READS. 

Ginny's PoV:

After getting our things from Diagon Alley and packing, the Molly was a lot calmer knowing we were ready to leave. The holidays are almost over, there's only three days left. We're probably just play quidditch, write to my parents and brother and help Fred and George with pranks. Harry and Hermione, however, have been owning back and forth trying to figure something out for the second task with it being on the second night back. They plan on going to the library to look through some herbology books, having coming up with no better solution considering he can't perform the bubble head charm. The only thing he does know is that something is going to be taken and he has an hour to retrieve it from the black lake.

This morning, I woke up to Fred and George jumping on my bed shouting something about Easter hunt. To be honest, I wasn't really paying attention, focusing on trying to get them to shut up. After five minutes, I just screamed for Molly, who came up stairs and started hitting them with a spatula, ushering them out of my room.
"Ginny dear, can you please make sure to hurry up, we're going on an Easter hunt to find chocolate galleons." Molly said before leaving the room as well. Pulling my itchy blanket, I walked over to my wardrobe pulling out a bagging, oversized jumper and some leggings, tying my hair in a messy bun not bothering to brush it. I quickly pulled on some old trainers, heading down stairs and out to the front yard where everyone was waiting.

"Right, you're going to go alone and who ever comes back with the most chocolate galleons gets to have one real galleon, there are 50 galleons- some plastic, some chocolate. You're not allowed to take from others unless they drop it and no wands are to be used. Don't leave the garden and please remember this is only a game." Arthur explained before going back inside to help Molly make dinner.

We all immediately ran off into different directions. I found three plastic ones almost straight away and decided to trick my the others by making sure they saw them then dropped them so they would be distracted. Mione would be proud of my cleverness. We kept looking for around an hour before we were called into the kitchen to count. From first looks, Ron had the most but after we counted, it was found out that George had 6 plastic and 4 chocolate, Fred had 6 plastic and 3 chocolate, Ron had 7 plastic and  5 chocolate, Harry had 4 plastic and 4 chocolate and I had 2 plastic and 9 chocolate. Making me the winner.

After counting, we all sat down at the table, digging into the amazing food. I may not like Molly and Arthur but that doesn't mean I'm not going to admit that she is an amazing cook. Once we were all full, we all headed up to our rooms to change into some clothes more appropriate for quidditch and went outside to practice. We even went to get Luna from over the hill so we could have even teams.  On my team, I played seeker/chaser, Fred played beater and Ron played keeper. On Harry's team, he played seeker/chaser, George played beater and Luna played keeper; she has some experience as she sometimes helps to train her friend Cho Chang who is on the Ravenclaw team.

We played until the sun started to set, us wining four games, them winning five. Luna left almost straight away so she would be back before 8pm. Dinner was served at around ten to eight, slightly later than normal but there was an emergency at work so Mr Weasley had to leave to go fix that only getting back at half seven. I mean I'm not complaining but I was starting to get really hungry. We ate quickly, laughing and talking, before going into the lounge to discuss the tournament. Unfortunately, neither Molly nor Arthur could think of anything Harry could do apart from a few NEWT level charms which he definitely won't be able to learn how to perform in time. 

It was around eleven when we all finally headed to bed, still giddy from laughter. Tonight was one of those rare nights when everyone gets on and is nice to each other. I decided to have a shower before bed as I had a lot of homework to complete and I want to spend the last day of my holiday's relaxing and doing what I want not wasting it all on homework. I washed my hair, brushing it, drying it then threw it into a low pony, slipping into some shorts and an oversized top. I read 'Quidditch Through The Ages' for about thirty minutes before dozing of.

The next day was boring, I woke up at eight, throwing on some clothes and eating breakfast, before heading back upstairs to lock myself away for a few hours so I could be productive. I had received about five pieces of homework, some were easy some were not. The first one I completed was a 12 inch essay about healing potions for Snape, then a 10 inch essay on the unforgivable curses for Moody, a 5 inch explanation on flobber-worms for Hagrid, a list of well known constellations for Sinistra and an essay on muggle electricity -length of your choice- from Burbage. It only took about three hours to complete all of it, so I decided to help Ron with his homework, even though he's a year above me. Being friends with 'Mione probably helped with that, always forcing us to study, therefore leading me to learn rather a lot of the fourth year curriculum.

The rest of the day passed, and we spent the last day just lounging around, checking  that we had packed everything and got an early night sleep knowing tomorrow was going to be chaotic; it always is even if the platform itself wasn't going to busy, we found a way to be late of forget an important piece of equipment. We invited 'Mione over so that we could take her to the platform tomorrow since her parents couldn't get through the barrier, so we talked for a while and decided to sit in a different carriage to the boys so we could discuss what happened at the Malfoy's and if we there was a way to find out the identity of her real parents. I could see her face contort into envy and longing when I mentioned the Malfoy's, she obviously just wants to find out who they are so she can spend time with them like I can with the Malfoy's.

As expected, we were almost late to the train station, getting onto the platform five minutes before the train left. We quickly shared hugs before running onto the train explaining to the boys that we were going to sit alone to talk about girl stuff to which they just nodded before entering a cabin shutting the door. Me and 'Mione found a cabin a few down from theirs's, shutting the curtains and locking the door before sitting down and talking about everything and anything. Arriving at Hogwarts a few hours later.
