Imagine by John Lennon (It has a good message of what Ginny is trying to say, but isn't that relevant, but I love the lyrics okay)

**********************************************************************************************************

The ruins of the Potter house loomed above me as I regained a breath in my own time period. It was a bit of a dire reminder of what task I have to do. There was always a choice to whack them in the face with a frozen rabbit leg and drag them here. I turned on sight and apparated away from the past.

The sight of the Burrow loomed before me. I sighed. It was good to be home. I entered in the door and closed it. I hope the time turner got the day right. I casted a quick tempus, and found that it was a day after I left. Eh, close enough. I snuck up the stairs and closed the door to my room.

"I've been waiting up for you young lady." said a voice that sounded like my mothers.

I froze. Oh, no now she was going to yell at me for leaving. I turned on my charm, and turned around.

"Mother I didn't mean to cause any trouble-"

And then I saw that I was in George's room. He was giving me a devil smile that didn't reach his eyes. That little sh*t. 

"I hate you!" I growled, even though I was laughing on the inside. 

I threw a pillow at him and it nailed him in the face. Score!

"Ten points to Gryffindor!" I yelled as my brother started to throw an attack of pillows at me. 

I yelped and ran out of the room. I heard his silent laughter as I closed the door and went to my actual room which I missed. I opened the door and was happy to find that there wasn't anyone besides me in the room. I threw my stuff down and collapsed on my bed. I looked at the clock on my nightstand. It was 6 o'clock. People were going to be up soon. I sighed and promised that I would take a cat nap. Just five minutes.

***

I groggily opened my eyes and felt refreshed. I saw my clock and it said it was 7 at night. Oh crap. I slept way over five minutes. I then showered and quickly changed. I was shuffling through my bookshelf, looking for a good book, but then something good came wafting up the stairs. Food. I opened my door and ran down the stairs. I entered the kitchen and found my mother making what looked like some kind of soup. The smells and my mom cooking reminded me as a little girl, helping out my mom as she cooked. I could almost be in the past, except  if you looked closely you could see the sag in her shoulders and the white streaks that appeared after the war.

The war really took us all down. I hugged my mom. She turned around.

"Oh, hello, Ginny dinner will be ready in a moment." 

I gave her a sad smile and went outside, to a patch of woods where I knew I would find everyone else. I approached the Quidditch Pitch and found there was a mock match going on. A blur with black hair whizzed past me. I smiled.

I went over and sat next to Hermione who was under a tree 'refereeing' a match while reading a book. I saw that George made a goal against Percy and was singing a little song about it. 

"-he can't make a pass

'cause he has a stick in his---"

I hexed George's Quaffle to look like a baby dragon. 

"HAHAHAHA OH  MY MERLIN ITS A DRAGON!!!! GET IT OFF OF ME ITS GONNA EAT ME!!! WHERES HAGRID I THINK I FOUND HIS FRIEND!!!!" When he was squealing, he dropped the 'dragon' and it was caught by Harry who threw a goal through Ron.

The cheering was interupted by the call of dinner by Ms. Weasly. Everyone ran to put their broom away, while Ron flew his right to the house. I was left standing there, looking for the one boy who I was most excited to see.

I suddenly felt someone grab my arm and pull me onto his broomstick. I wrapped my arm around Harry, as we took off into the air.

"What about the muggles?"I shouted into the air.

Harry turned around and gave me a reassuring smile. We swooped around the miles of forest that was near my house. He finally landed in a patch of grass that had an open sky. He produced a basket that had all of my Mom's food to go.

"I thought that you wanted to talk." Harry said, "so I grabbed what food Ron hadn't eaten, and packed it to-go."

I cracked a smile. Trust Harry to think of something like that. I popped open the container that the soup was in and started to chug it. Harry was looking at me, waiting for me to say something. I swallowed. 

"Harry, I know how hard it has been this past year to get accustomed to everything. It's enough to compete with the shadows of the past, but to see everyone else suffer because of something so simple. I want to change the past. I don't want to go back in time and kill Voldemort because there is certain events that have to happen in the order of time, and it would cause too much of a change. I want to go back and save people, while covering up so the space/time continum isn't screwed up."

I looked over at Harry and he didn't seem too happy about the idea. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, if you looked hard enough. 

"Ginny, I am not sure if you have thought this through enough. Will we even find out how to fake their deaths? Will they even want to be saved? What happens when we get back, what will happen then? I just want you to think before you rush. I want to go back in time more than anything, but the reprecussions worry me."

(AN: Ginny paused. "Harry, there is fanfiction that solves those problems.")

"I know we can figure this out, and if we can't we can just obliviate them and call it a day." I said.

"Ginny, this past day, did you steal Hermione's time turner and go back to save people. I knew you shouldn't of started watching that muggle show-"

"Harry that is besides the point. I need your help to pull this off. I want everyone to be happy. I want you to have time with your parents. Please."

"I'll think about it."

"Thank-you!" I smiled and hugged Harry.

Happy new year everyone! I was going to write more, but I think this was the best place to stop. I can tell that this rewriting is going to take the story to a complete different direction which should be good for what is left of this scrappy story. SMURRR. Oh, and the reason this update is postponed is christmas break homework, and IISuperwomanII, and Connor Franta, and Highschool Musical, and Once Upon a Time, and Pretty Little Liars, and Books, and overall lazyness.
