*3rd Person's POV*

Weasley family and Harry reached the Kings cross station with Aurors. Harry was frustrated and others were supporting him. Jack made Ginny promise him to stop 'fangirling' around Harry. Initially, it was hard for her but later, it became easier. She felt a little comfortable around Harry.

Jack and his uncle were there waiting for no one. Jack was pushing his uncle away but his uncle was not moving at all, he wanted to meet Ginny. Jack's Uncle had heard only about her from Jack. His uncle doubted if Jack even studied or roamed around Ginny all the time.
"Jack!", Ginny called.
"G-go away!", Jack said.
"You must be Ginny.", said Jack's Uncle, Gordon Horton.
"And you must be Gordon Horton.", Ginny replied. "Why should I go away, Jack?"
"Hehe, I was joking.", Jack replied.
"I heard a lot about you, Ginny.", said Gordon.
"You did?", Ginny asked.
"Jack was talking just about you.", Gordon said.
"He did?", Ginny was very confused.
"No. He is making stories, Ginny. Come on, we are getting late, Gin.", Jack said grabbed Ginny arm, said Bye to his Uncle, and Weasley clan and entered the train.
They searched for a while, then Ginny dragged Jack to the compartment where Luna and Neville were sitting.
"Gin, I don't want to sit with them.", Jack whispered to Ginny.
"They are my friends. I won't dump them!", Ginny whispered back.
Jack was disappointed and happy. Disappointed because Ginny wasn't listening to him, but happy because his best friend never left any of her friends' side. He was proud of her.
"You are impossible.", he mumbled back and she punched his arm.
"I heard you.", she said.
"What happened?", Neville asked.
"This--", Ginny never completed her sentence, the train stopped.
"What was that?", Ginny asked.
"No idea.", Jack said.

Then, the door opened and a black thing appeared. Dementors entered their compartment.
Ginny was highly affected by it. The dementor didn't attacked her, but its presence made her relive her past year, all the memories came flying back. She felt cold, then black. She passed out.

Dementor left the compartment but everyone in the compartment was worried. Ginny passed out, she was trashing around. Jack was shaking her, Neville was about to go out and ask for help when Luna thew some water on Ginny's face and she woke up.
"GINNY!", both the boys called.
"What happened?", she asked.
"Are you fine?", Jack asked.
"Yes. Yes, I am.", Ginny replied.
"Sure?", Neville asked.
"I am sure.", Ginny replied.

They all stalled down.
"Guys, don't tell anyone.", Ginny said and all of them nodded.
"We won't, Gin. But tell us, what happened?", Jack asked.
"N-nothing.", Ginny replied.
Luna hugged Ginny and she stayed like that for a moment, she needed to be comforted. Luna let her go and she settled down. She leaned towards Jack and he let her. She made her head rest on his shoulder, and slept.

Jack was silently watching her sleep, trying not to be caught. The door opened and a man entered.
"Is everyone alright?", he asked.
"Who are you?", Jack asked.
"Professor Lupin, the new defence teacher.", the man said.
"Professor, everyone is fine here. Sorry, I didn't knew you were a teacher.", Jack apologized.
"No problem.", professor said and left.

"You should have told him.", said Neville.
"She said not to.", Jack said firmly.
"What if she needs to? I mean what she will get in trouble?", Neville asked.
"She won't.", Luna said in her dreamy voice. Neville didn't asked any other questions and Jack slept in next few minutes.

Jack and Ginny slept all the way to Hogwarts, before half-an-hour, Luna woke them up.
"Good morning.", Luna greeted. "We will be reaching our station soon. Jack, can you please move out, me and Ginny will change."
"Yes, sure.", Jack said and both the boys left the compartment.
Girls changed and then boys. They reached Hogwarts. Neville went with his classmates, Luna, Jack and Ginny walked towards the carriages.
