Ginny was scrubbing the floor of the Malfoys' home. Her fiery red hair was like a tangled rat's nest, and she was dirty. Ginny paused, thinking of the place she often visited in her dreams.
She always dreamed of a large castle with lots of children. She never had to clean any floors, and no one ever shouted at her or beat her. And there was a really pretty lady with red hair there. She held Ginny and told her that she loved her. Ginny smiled wistfully at the thought.
"Are you done yet?"
Narcissa Malfoy's sharp voice pulled Ginny out of her daydream. Ginny jumped, and hurriedly began scrubbing the floor again; she couldn't be seen daydreaming.
Narcissa entered the room. She glared at the small girl.
"Well, look who it is! The little blood-traitor herself! Pretending she's been so good! I better not catch you slacking!"
Ginny said nothing, and continued scrubbing.
"Girl, I need you to go and get some bread. We need some more at the inn. And make sure you go to the wizard-run store, not the filthy Muggle-run one," Narcissa said. Ginny timidly got up. Some Galleons were thrust into Ginny's small hand. Just then, two children, who were about Ginny's age, ran into the room.
"Cho, Draco, come my darlings, you both look so adorable!" Narcissa cried, holding her arms out towards her children. Both children ran into her arms.
Ginny watched the scene, forlornly wishing that someone would hold her like that. Draco grinned nastily at her. Cho ignored her completely. Despite the fact that Cho was Draco's sister, they looked nothing alike. Draco was blonde and grey-eyed, while Cho had black hair and brown eyes.
Draco pointed to Ginny, who had still not left. She didn't want to go out now, not when it was so dark outside. Narcissa released Cho and Draco and turned to Ginny.
"Still there, girl? I told you to go and get some bread!"
"Please no--not when it's so dark out, and all on my own--"
"Enough complaining, or I won't be nice!" Narcissa snapped as Draco snickered. Ginny shrank back slightly. "Go!"
Ginny hurried out of the house. Outside, it was quite cold. Ginny shivered. She was only clothed in rags, so she was freezing. After she had bought the bread, she heard footsteps. Ginny quickly turned around.

Sirius had arrived at the town where Lily had said her daughter was, and was now looking for Ginny. Up ahead, he spotted a small, figure. He took out his wand.
"Lumos," he muttered and the tip lit up. Using his lit wand, Sirius realized that the figure was a small, red-haired girl clothed in rags. The girl turned around suddenly.
"Who are you?" the girl said softly.
"I'm Reg," Sirius said quickly, using a shortened version of his dead brother's name. "Why are wandering around out here, anyway? What's your name?"
"My name is Ginny," she said.
Ginny? Sirius thought. Lily's Ginny? This is her?
"I was sent out to go get bread," Ginny continued.
"Who sent you?"
"Mrs. Malfoy--she runs an inn with Mr. Malfoy."
There was no doubt about it. This was definitely Lily's daughter.
"Can you take me to them?" Sirius asked.
"Yes," Ginny said, taking his hand and leading him towards the inn.
When they entered, Narcissa snatched the bread out of Ginny's hands.
"Took you long enough," she snapped. Sirius stepped forward.
"You are Mrs. Malfoy?" he asked.
"Yes," she said, her tone much more pleasant. Narcissa's husband, Lucius, joined them.
"Can I help you?" he said.
"I'm a friend of Ginny's mother. Speaking of Ginny, it interests me to see her alive and on her feet. Your letters said that she was gravely ill," Sirius said.
"She made a sudden recovery," Lucius said. "We were most relived."
"Unfortunately, Lily has passed away."
Narcissa let out a fake gasp and Lucius put his hand over his heart in mock-horror.
"Her last request was for me to raise her. Ginny will have a father now," Sirius continued, trying to keep things civil with the Malfoys.
Lucius and Narcissa exchanged uneasy glances.
"Well, this is the only home she's had," Lucius said. "And we don't even know you."
"I know that Lily still owed you about 100 Galleons," Sirius said, holding exactly 100 Galleons in his hand. "Now are we agreed?"
"That would be okay if she wasn't sick so often," Narcissa said. "She's a little dear, but medicines are expensive."
Sirius's temper rose as he put the 100 back into his robes and pulled out a bulging bag of Galleons.
"15,000 Galleons," he said, thrusting it into Narcissa's hands. He took Ginny by the hand. "Come on Ginny, say good-bye. It's time for us to go."
They left the inn without another word.
After a few minutes, Ginny asked,
"Where are we going?"
"Hogsmeade," Sirius told the small red-head.
"The village near Hogwarts?" Ginny said, her brown eyes widening.
"Yes," Sirius said. Ginny grinned, eager to start her new life.
