Late the next week found the teens in their common room scouring books on Animagus, which Narcissa Malfoy had assigned to them. Ginny had finally been able to be moved from the hospital wing to their dorm but still was not allowed to attend classes as yet and it was making her cranky.
"Harry! You just threw that book on this pile!" Ginny said grumpily. "Those are the books I am still looking through! How many have you thrown there so far?" She asked looking like she might forgo Madam Pomfrey's orders and hex him.
"I'm sorry Ginny let me see" He said looking through the books and taking the one Ginny was holding from her and two more off the top of the stack in front of her. "Just these sorry"
Ginny's face softened. "Sorry Harry its just that I feel cooped up in here" She said picking up another book. "If I don't get out of this common room soon I'll go nuts!"
Ginny had been thrilled to be made a Marauder along with the rest of them the second night she was back to the dorms and the others had made it special for her so that she didn't feel too left out. Harry, Hermoine and Ron caught her up on the meeting they had and she was excited to be going on a mission of her own.
"Funny though that we four have to be split up...well except for Hermoine and Ron." She said quietly to Harry.
"Well it is for the best Ginny and you'll be with McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and Professor Malfoy and your mission sounds a whole lot easier than ours does." He said sighing again.
"Oh stop acting like an old man Harry before long all of this will be over and we'll be..........well we'll have time to...to" She couldn't stop the rising blush that was happening.
"Hey that's gross Ginny stop talking about stuff like that," Ron said walking past she and Harry.
"Oh stuff it Ron!" She said turning on him.
"Oh enough I was teasing. Find anything yet?" he asked sitting next to Ginny on the arm of her chair.
"Not yet and I am losing patients. A spell that can tell you what shape you would naturally take when you change? I don't think there is a spell like that." Ginny said.
"If my mom said there is a spell like that then there is." Draco said from behind a rather thick book.
"Ok but in which book? We've been through almost all of them!" Ginny huffed.
"Sometimes it just takes patience Ginny relax" Ron said ruffling her hair and ignoring the glare she gave him.
"Oh that's rich coming from you. Why all of a sudden are you so calm Ron?" Harry asked chuckling.
"Well if you had the smartest witch of our age as a girlfriend, no offense sister dear, you wouldn't be quite as worried either. Which reminds me I better get back to work." He said getting up and walking back over at the table in the corner were Hermoine was leafing through three books at once and taking up a book from the stack.
"My brother is changing drastically isn't he?" Ginny said looking at the two in the corner.
"Yes last year you couldn't get them to stop arguing and they hardly argue at all now." Harry said and suddenly looked at Ginny. "Ginny I really want you to know I'm sorry for being such a git last year and breaking up with you"
Ginny turned and looked at him and smiled warmly. "It's ok Harry I know you were wanting to protect me. I'm just so glad you came to your senses. I wish I could go with you on your quest to the Temple of Osirus though. I bet that's going to be a lot more fun than going to a lot of dusty old museums and searching for muggle artifacts." She said taking his hand.
