"Enter," Dumbledore's voice called in response to the knock.
Jessup the American inspector sent by the Wizengamot came in followed by one of his fellow inspectors, Molly, Arthur and Ginny Weasley. Dumbledore could tell from the expression on Molly's face that she was barely containing her rage at the treatment of her daughter.
"Ginny, it's good to see you are back to normal." Dumbledore sounded pleased.
"And no sooner was she human again, than this… man," Molly spat unwilling to remain silent any longer, "dragged her up here, before we even had a chance to make sure she was alright after what that brute Potter did to her."
Ginny was not about to let her mother bad mouth Harry. She was the only one with the right to put him in his place. "Mum, Harry is not a brute! He just doesn't understand that we belong together and reacted badly to my trying to protect what we have."
Arthur just shook his head. He knew Ginny was stubborn, like her mother, but this was ridiculous. Harry had made it quite clear he wanted nothing to do with her or any other member of their family. It would take time, but he was certain she would come to realise and accept that fact. "Ginny, we will discuss your relationship with Harry at another time. Right now we have other matters to take care of."
"You can't mean that expulsion business again!" Molly demanded, looking at Jessup who had been the one to bring it up. "You seriously intend to force the Headmaster to expel my daughter, when she isn't the one at fault. If the blasted Potter boy hadn't led her on all these years…."
"Molly, he has no choice." McGonagall interrupted her rant before it could get started. "For whatever reason, Ginny deliberately attacked and nearly killed another student and it wasn't in a duel, which is the only exception allowed. And for that one exception to apply the reason for the duel must be declared in front of a staff member and fought in front of the staff to be legal. Ginny did none of those things and so she must be expelled. Dumbledore was advised, by the Board of Governors that if he doesn't follow the rules, he will be removed as Headmaster and a new one put in his place." McGonagall held up her hand to silence Molly as she opened her mouth to speak. "And I have already been told the new head of the school won't be me if that happens."
"Headmaster," Ginny spoke up before anyone could ask why McGonagall wouldn't be considered for the post of Headmistress. "May I make a request before you expel me?"
"And what is that my child?" Dumbledore looked at her sadly. This child had had so much promise.
"I would like to spend one final night in Gryffindor Tower, before my wand is snapped. Would that be possible?"
Dumbledore saw no reason not to grant her request and was certain she just wanted to say good-bye to some of her yearmates. A quick glance that the American inspectors showed they were not going to object either. "I see no reason why not, but you will have to leave your wand here with me."
"Albus! How can you think of leaving Ginny without the means to defend herself?" Molly protested. "What if that brute Potter decides to attack her again? She wouldn't be able to stop him."
"Molly, Harry has made it clear that he wants little if any contact with Ginny, I think she will be safe enough this one night in Gryffindor tower." Albus sounded tired.
"Like you've been right about anything concerning that boy since the school year began." Molly crossed her arms and glared at Dumbledore. "You listen to me Dumbledore and listen well. If anything… anything happens to Ginny up in Gryffindor tower tonight and Potter is found to be the cause, you have my word that you are going to pay for it. I don't care how important you seem to think he is to the wizarding world, he is destroying my family. First it was the twins refusing to have anything more to do with us, claiming we turned our backs on a family member, which he most definitely was not . Then Percy is found to be a Deatheater because of him . Ron has lost his prefect status because of that brat and now Ginny is to be expelled…. All because of bloodyPotter! "
...
Ginny sat in her bed in her dorm with the curtains drawn, waiting for her roommates to fall asleep. She felt a little sad that this would be the last time she would be in this dorm or see these girls. They had already started pulling away from her because they knew she was to be expelled and acted as if coming in contact with her would lead to them being expelled too.
Ginny smiled to herself. She would have the last laugh though. Thanks to the potion in her hand she would be Mrs. Harry Potter by the summer. She was certain of it. Harry wouldn't want his child to grow up without a mother or a father. He would do the right thing and marry her and then Ginny would be able to show him just how much she loved him. Once he was hers she would make sure he never looked at another female. There would be no more Luna Lovegoods to trouble their life, because once she and Harry were together, he would realise just how happy he was to be with her and how happy she could make him.
