Still standing quite still, Ginny looked over at the black lake, not extremely far away from where she was. She had absolutly no intention of going for a swim of course. The lake was a bit too cold for her liking. She liked being outside when it was nice and warm, like at the moment. Without really knowing what she was doing, Ginny tugged slightly on her left robe sleeve, which arrived at about her elbow. Everyone who knew Ginny knew that these robes weren't made that way. They were supposed to be full-lenght, but since her mum had simply refused to buy her some new ones, and by the time Ginny had proved to her that her robes were too short it was too late to go back to Diagon Alley. At least to those who didn't know her they seemed perfectly alright.

"Hello," she heard fron behind her. She turned around to see Lilian, a Ravenclaw girl in her year. She had never really spoken to Lilian, though they said hi and shared some notes a few times when Ginny was in trouble and needed to study something she didn't have. "Hello Lillian. Or would you rather Lily?" Ginny asked with a small smile. She knew how some people hated their birth names. Ginny was one of them. Ginevra wasn't exactly one of her favourite names. She liked Ginny, or Gin better.

“Hey” she heard again from near Lillian. This time it was a Gryffindor student. Ginny knew her name was Pixie and that she was in Ron and Hermione's year. "Hello Pixie. you sound happy." Ginny said looking at Pixie. Pixie had said hey in a rather cheerful voice. She looked cheerful too. One of the very few times Ginny had seen her that way. Maybe it was just Gin's timing. Maybe she kept on missing Pixie in a good mood.
