I'm posting this from North Carolina on I-95 on my way to Virginia.

I'm very happy to announce that for all you #Cissamione fans! Of which I am one & very devoted to the fandom. There's definitely not enough anywhere, believe me I've checked. So I'm working on a novella tie in between books 1 & 2. You won't need you be up to chapter 13 on FanFiction.com to be able to read this story;)

Although it will make a lot more sense after I've put up all the chapters. But I won't tell you anymore, it's a surprise. It's to be a completely new take on time travel and a timeless love story.

Christmas was fast approaching, somehow term was flying too quickly for Ginny. Outside the snow drifts, lay in quiet beauty marking the beginning of another winter. Students hurried, in feverish determination to and from the library. A whisper of exams all that could be heard within the murmurs of Ginny's peers.

Hermione herself, Ginny noted, was obsessed as usual, somehow she hadn't changed in that way. She was again camping out in the library, hiding among the stakes. As head girl she had quite a few duties and it was all she could do to escape.

Luna, often followed Hermione and Ginny to the library. She annoyed Hermione especially with her stern warnings of nargles in the mistletoe.

"You don't seriously still believe that stuff do you?" Hermione said losing her temper with the younger girl one day.

"They're real I promise Mione" Luna chirped "Stop looking with your mind and start seeing with your heart."

Hermione blanched and looked over to Ginny. Hiding behind her book, Ginny was blushing crimson. Since the dreams had begun she still spent time with Luna. To not draw any attention. Anyway she wanted to be with Luna, so badly she couldn't bear being apart from her. When the holidays began she'd have to face reality.

She just found it increasingly hard to be brave and not cry. She knew she couldn't go on and on like this. Her heart was dying.

She'd dropped the book and looked to both her friends. "I saw a nargle once" looking back she felt utterly ashamed.

Luna on the other hand had jumped up and down and knocked over a chair. In her desperation to get Ginny into her arms. Shivers found their way from Ginny's neck where, Luna had breathed. To places she'd turned red thinking of now.

All to soon, Luna had let go and she'd been reminded that she'd have to face Harry at the Barrow and the dreams. Once uncorked hadn't stopped, every night for the last two months she'd been plagued by them.

Today, it was snowing and true to form Ginny was in the library, on this Sunday, the following day was the first day of exams. Finding herself again in the library a book in her lap and unable to concentrate. She'd done everything she could to avoid admitting her resolve was breaking.
