Chapter 7

Ginny-

"Lily! Hurry up! We need to go and fetch your brother's from Kings Cross!" Ginny yelled up the stairs to Lily.

Ginny sighed stressfully as she walked into the Kitchen, grabbing her cup of coffee off of the side and finished off the drink. Today, James and Albus were returning home for Christmas. Time had gone so quickly that Ginny had set her encounter with Colette's ghost to the back of her mind. She didn't know what to do about it.

"Lily, come on, you're going to stress your Mum out." Harry called up the stairs to Lily, a lot more calmly than Ginny had.

"I'm not stressed." Ginny snapped as Harry walked into the Kitchen.

"Yes you are. You can't lie to me Gin. You need to tell me what's going on because this has been happening a lot lately." Harry walked over to Ginny, taking her hand's in his and looking at her worriedly.

"I'm not! It's nothing." Ginny dismissed him, pulling away from him and grabbing her coat from the hallway.

"Ginny" Harry sighed "I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong. I want to help you Gin."

"If I told you, you'd think that I was mad. I think that I'm going mad! Never mind anybody else! This thing with my head is strange and I don't like it! Is that a good enough answer for you?!" Ginny cried, pulling on her coat and storming out of the door once she'd noticed that Lily had finally arrived downstairs.

The journey to Kings Cross was fairly quiet, Lily asked an occasional question and Harry usually answered, but other than that, they travelled in silence. Once Harry had pulled the car into the car park, Ginny got out and began walking into the Station, followed by Harry and Lily.

"Ginny! Slow down! Just forget that I didn't ask! We don't want the kids to suspect that there's anything wrong. It's Christmas." Harry sighed as he finally caught up with Ginny, Lily skipping in front of them.

"Lily will probably know that something's already wrong and she'll obviously tell James and Albus Harry. They're all nearly teenagers, they're not stupid." Ginny snapped.

"Please just calm down. I know that you like to deal with this sort of thing by yourself, so I'm going to let you. I promise that I won't pester you from now on." Harry pleaded.

"Fine." Ginny shrugged.

By now, they had reached the barrier that lead on to the Platform. Ginny watched as Harry took Lily's hand and ran through the barrier, then Ginny quickly followed. The Hogwarts Express hadn't yet pulled into the Station but the Platform was already crowded with excited parent's, siblings and grandparent's.

"Ginny my little fairycake!" Taylor cried as they joined Taylor, Mattie, Lottie, Hermione, Ron and Hugo.

"Fairycake? That's a new one." Ginny shrugged.

"I know! I like that one!" Taylor grinned.

"How are you Ginny?" Hermione asked. Ginny heard Harry wince slightly as Hermione said this. Ginny rolled her eyes.

"I'm fine thank you Hermione, how are you?" Ginny asked.

"Great thank you." Hermione answered, obviously catching on that something had happened.

"Are you two fighting?" Taylor asked.

"Tay, that's not really your business." Mattie interjected.

"No Taylor, we're fine, aren't we Harry?" Ginny answered, stepping back and taking Harry's hand.

"Yeah we're fine Taylor." Harry answered, giving Ginny's hand a short squeeze.
