[HP Doujin] take care of you

The dormitory is very noisy.As expected, none of the girls had prepared the night before for heading home for the Christmas holidays.Marlene was frantically rummaging through Dorcas' clothes for a new set of robes she'd bought in Hogsmeade.Unsure of which textbooks to take home, Emily mused aloud to herself that she'd rather not do any homework.Dorcas stuffed everything into the trunk without looking at it.Ginny saw a pair of shorts protruding from under the parchment. There was no need for shorts in this cold weather.

Ginny was flustered too.She's coming home with Fabian and Gideon, meeting her family for the first time as Ginny Styles.She will be meeting her parents for the first time in months, even if they don't know they are her parents.The thought both thrilled and sickened her.How could she decide what clothes to bring if she could barely accept the fact that she was going to the Burrow?

This is crazy.

So she's packing robes, sweaters, and trousers in her suitcase.Emily asked Ginny to take the Quaffle she had given her early for Christmas, but she shrunk the Quaffle down before packing it into her case so Ginny could practice Quidditch over the holidays up.Dorcas returned the textbook he had borrowed from Ginny.Marlene asked Ginny to get an old set of robes from her to wear when she went to Potter's house.

Potter's house.

Ginny sighed and patted her forehead with her hand.How could she agree to leave Hogwarts?She really shouldn't have talked to those boys: sweet though their concerns were, they were getting her into trouble now.After Christmas, she will spend the rest of the holidays with James, Peter, Sirius and Remus.Lily will join in too.The idea of ​​six teenage girls together is exciting and terrifying.

"—we've got less than twenty minutes to go," Dorcas called out as Ginny looked around. "That's stupid, that's crazy, why didn't we pack our bags last night?"

Marlene looked at Ginny, and the two exchanged a look.They hadn't packed their bags last night because Dorcas was also considering the idea of ​​leaving Hogwarts for the holidays.This will be Dorcas' first vacation without family.It hadn't been long before Voldemort had killed them, and while Dorcas liked to pretend he was okay and everything was fine, the girls knew better.When they came to pack last night they found Dorcas and Emily weeping in her bed.

So Ginny didn't pack up her things, but ran to the kitchen with Marlene and brought back a lot of food. They stayed up all night.Emily was taking Dorcas home for the holidays, and the girls knew she'd be all right when she got there.Still, the next few weeks will be tough for Dorcas, which is to be expected.

"It's all right, we have plenty of time, don't we?" Emily said, closing the suitcase with force.

"Have you pretended to do your homework?" Marlene asked her, closing the case too, and heading for the mess in Dorcas.

"Seriously, what's the point of homework?" said Emily, coming to Ginny's bed and sitting down.

Ginny smiled at her friend and closed the box as well.She can only hope that she has packed everything she needs for the next two weeks.

"Are you excited?" Emily asked Ginny softly.

"Excited about what?"

Ginny pulled on a sweater that was left outside, her head stuck in the collar, and Emily pulled it off for her, smiling and nudging her.

"Stay with Sirius. Don't think I'm going to let you say nothing."

Ginny pursed her lips and said nothing.But Emily's laughter got louder and louder, which caught the attention of Dorcas and Marlene, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

"Are you going to sleep with him?"

"What? No! No, we're not there yet—"

"How far have you guys come, huh?" Dorcas quipped, the conversation momentarily erasing the sadness on her face.

"Speak up, Ginny," Marlene urged.

Ginny rolled her eyes and raised her hands resignedly.

"We're not there. It's a mess," Ginny admitted.

Dorcas giggled and pulled on a cloak.

"I think you've reached a point of no return," she told her.

Ginny gave her an unhappy look, but Dorcas ignored it.A knock on the door caught the girls' attention, and a fifth grader poked his head in.

"Ginny?" the girl called. "Several Gryffindors are waiting for you in the corridor, let me come to you."

The other girls laughed loudly, and Ginny groaned, thanking the girls.After the door closed, Emily jumped onto Ginny's bed.

"Don't get pregnant. We've got a whole Quidditch season left. We can't have you break your arm one game and have a baby the next!"

"If you have a child, will you name her after me?" Marlene asked with a wink.

"Maybe you'll have twins." Dorcas winked at her from across the room.

"Funny, fun! I gotta go!" exclaimed Ginny, picking up her suitcase.

As if he knew she was leaving, Crookshanks rushed out of his hiding place under the bed and followed her.

"Wait, we're going out with you," Dorcas called. "Have you all packed your things?"

After repeated checks, the four girls quickly left the dormitory, followed by the kitten.The common room was as lively as their dormitories.The students at Hogwarts were all slumped on the sofa chatting and playing games.Some were saying goodbye, promising to write to each other.The lips of a couple are tightly glued together.

Edgar, who had been waiting for Emily by the fireplace, yelled a warning (“15 minutes to the carriage! Hurry up, everyone!”) before people started leaving.Ginny squeezed through the crowd into the corridor.Four of her favorite Gryffindor boys were standing there.

Sirius smiled as soon as he saw her, and rushed to meet her, picking up her suitcase with one hand and wrapping his arms around her back with the other.He pulled her closer and kissed the corner of her mouth hastily.This public display of love made her cheeks blush, but she was still very happy.

"James is going crazy," Sirius whispered in her ear. "Thought you'd never leave your common room."

Ginny gave a smirk, and Sirius dragged her suitcase and walked towards the boys.Ginny felt someone watching her, and she turned to find Marlene and Dorcas still waiting for her.The girls smiled and walked towards the group of Gryffindors.

"How are you, boys," Dorcas greeted.

James smiled.

"Hello! Let's go find the carriage together? Is there no one in your common room? Ah, your dean is here."

A professor was chasing students from the door, telling them to hurry to the carriage.Ginny tousled James' hair affectionately before hugging Remus and Peter.They walked and talked in the corridor.Sirius finally walked to Ginny's side.

"You look charming today," he told her.

Ginny smiled and sighed.

"Did you dress up for me?" he asked.

"I'd rather ask Crookshanks for permission than yours," Ginny said, biting her lip. "sorry."

"He really thinks highly of you." Sirius agreed.

Ginny laughed, reaching out and interlocking fingers with Sirius without thinking.He smiled at her, but Marlene distracted him by asking him about his last detention.

"I was right."

Dorcas walked beside Ginny, holding Crookshanks to his chest.The kitten meowed loudly.

"What's the point?" Ginny asked, confused.

"You have reached the point of no return."

Ginny frowned at her words, but she felt the warmth of Sirius' hand in hers, so she ignored the anxiety welling up in her heart.
