Ginny walked through the garden behind the Burrow. The house was too crowded for her liking right now. A lot of friends were there and the whole family, or better what was left of it. In the distance Ginny could see fireworks. It had been like that ever since the wizarding world heard of Voldemorts death. Of course she understood that it was a reason to celebrate. Part of her was even happy. The war was finally over and Harry was free now. Those were definitely good things. There hopefully would be no more unnecessary deaths now and once everything had calmed down a little she'd go and talk to Harry.

Right now Ginny however didn't feel happy and didn't want to see the fireworks of celebrating people. And she couldn't stand to stay inside any longer, where a huge photo of Fred was standing in the room. He was laughing and joking in it. George said it was what Fred would have wanted. A photo of him that cheered them all up. Well, it didn't cheer her up right now. There had been so many funerals this week. Tonks & Remus and then Freds were the last ones she went to. The war was over, but it cost so much.

Sighing Ginny tried to push away these thoughts. They wouldn't want her to be sad. They'd want her to be happy and celebrate. She would have to try harder.

Turning around she made a step forward to walk back to the house. But her foot didn't find solid ground to step onto. Ginny lost her balance and then fell forward, right into a pool. She was under water for a few moments, until she finally made it to the surface, coughing and spitting water out.

"Bloody hell", she muttered and then looked around. She so wasn't in the Burrows garden anymore.

"GEORGE", she yelled while trying to get to a ladder so she could climb out of the pool. What kind of trick was this now? Her brother had tried to cheer her up in Freds name the entire week. What had he come up with now? A portkey that would dump her into a pool???!

"Very funny! Wait until I get you!"

Tonks had a lot on her mind. Ever since being kidnapped by the Mad Hatter, she'd been deep in thought. It wasn't exactly that she'd been avoiding Marcus, not exactly. It was more that she just didn't quite know how to think. It had been way too good to see the Ranger, and she was starting to suspect that things might be getting difficult.

So, not wanting to run into him, she'd put on her bright pink bathing suit, a muggle style bathrobe, also pink, and of course, her hair was the same brilliant color that she normally favored. A swim, that would be lovely. Of course, the last time she'd gone for a swim, she'd ended up running into Fred and George, but that probably couldn't happen again, since they were already there.

She entered the room, the chlorine smell clear in the air, and glanced around. No one else was around, which suited her just fine. However, it wasn't long before a loud, cracking sound split the air, and something splashed into the water. She sighed and shook her head. "Bloody hell, another one?"

Flicking her wand, she reached out with it and magically hooked whoever was in the water out of it. Red hair, damp, but that's all she really caught. "Poor bugger. I'm Tonks, who are you and where are you from? It's been awhile since I had to greet someone."

Ginny felt herself being lifted out of the water. It didn't surprise her at all. She turned around, expecting a laughing George to stand infront of her. Instead she looked at an all too familiar face surrounded by vivid pink hair. Her eyes grew wide and the anger turned into confusion.

"OMG", she muttered silently. Then her expression changed back into one of anger.

"That's so NOT funny, George!" What had gotten into him? Now he was using Polyjuice Potion to look like Tonks??? How could he? They had just been at her funeral 2 days ago.

Her eyes started to get teary, but she swallowed and frowned. She wouldn't cry! Instead she pulled her wand out of her back pocket and waved it to dry her clothes.

"Where are we?", she then asked trying to calm herself down. "Do mom and dad know about this portkey?" They'd be so pissed if they didn't.

The witch gasped, managing only to carefully set the girl down gently on teh ground before she took a hasty step back, tripped over a deck chair, and landed up flat on her ass, looking up at the ceiling. "Ow." She shook her head clear, did her best to struggle to her feet. In the process, she pulled several other chairs onto herself. Even for the young Auror, this was an impressive display of clumsiness.

Finally, she got to her feet, only a little rumpled but otherwise not at all the worse for wear. "Must have hit my head harder than I thought..." She tried to shake her offending head clear. No way she'd just seen Ginny arrive... Ginny was already here! And much older than this girl. She tilted her head to the side thoughtfully.

"Wotcher, Ginny looking person. I know you're not Ginny, though, so you might as well stop looking like her." She smiled, quickly recovering from the surprise. "I'm not George, and I'm doing something really bloody wrong if I look like him. A big fan of pink, is he?" She shook her head. "Well, anyway, you'd best tell me who you are so I can show you around, explain how things work around here."

Ginny stared at Tonks as she clumsily knocked herself and some chairs down. This was so like Tonks! But it couldn't be her! Could George or anyone else imitate Tonks like that?

"What?", she asked when Tonks, or whoever pretended to be her, spoke.

"I'm definitely me! I'm Ginny Weasley. But who the hell are you?" Ginny quickly glanced around. This situation was so weird and she didn't fancy her mother showing up and catching her swearing. But nothing happened.

"I know you're not Tonks. I was at your - HER - funeral 2 days ago!", she almost shouted. She was starting to think that this wasn't one of Georges tricks. He could be bad, but he surely wouldn't make fun using a dead person, not after the week they had.

"Why are you doing this and where are we?"

The witch blinked and looked down at herself. She sure didn't look dead, and was pretty sure she hadn't hurt herself badly enough to have killed herself. Anyway, this Ginny person had said that her funeral had already happened two days ago. She frowned and her brow burrowed as she thought. This was just too weird.

"I saw Ginny, though, she's much older than you are! You're just a kid! Ginny is... what do you mean, my funeral? Clearly, I'm not dead!" She walked over, took the young redheads hand in her own. "I'm Tonks, and I'm not dead! Why do you Ginny people always insist on telling me that I'm dead?"

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Two days ago, I was here in Mirage. I'm not dead, I can promise you that much. I was taken almost three weeks ago. The old Ginny knew a lot more about things than I did, I think she was taken later..."

She shook her head. "I'm not sure I'm making any sense. Hello, Ginny, lovely to see you again. I'm Tonks, this is Mirage, and Snape, as well as Fred and George, are around somewhere. I don't know where the other Ginny went, but she was around." She frowned. "It has been a few days, though, maybe she's gone...?"

Ginny stared at Tonks unbelievingly. This just didn't make sense.

"I'm Ginny! And why would I be older?" If this was supposed to be a joke it was a really bad one. "I'm not a kid anymore." Noone was after the war. "I'm almost 17." It were just a few weeks and she'd be a legal adult. But how many weeks? She'd lost track of time. A war could do that to you. Birthdays just didn't seem important anymore.

She then gulped. "Tonks and Remus funeral", she said, still to really believing that Tonks could actually be standing right infront of her.

When Tonks took her hand Ginny looked at it and then up into her face. She so wanted to believe that it was her. But how could she be sure? She had to ask her something that only Tonks would know. But what?

"What's the form of your patronus? How did George lose his ear? Who is Snuffles?" Maybe someone else could answer one of the questions but not all of them... hopefully.

Ginny tilted her head. "Mirage? What's that?" Then she froze. "Snape is here? Fred?" She blinked. "All dead... is George dead, too? Am I dead?"

The witch shook her head slightly, a smile settling over her lips. "I think the last Ginny must have gone back, or else you're both here but I don't think the Planet would allow that..." She laughed and ran toward the younger witch, and it was likely she would have tripped if it hadn't been only a few steps. The older, pink-haired witch wrapped her in a tight hug.

"This is sort of like your welcome all over again, because you haven't been here before, have you? And it's funny, because I was the one here when the first Ginny arrived, too." She grinned down at the little redhead and then hugged her tightly again. "It's so nice to see you again!"

Finally, she released her and stepped back. "Um, sorry!" She even rolled her eyes a little at the barrage of questions. "My patronus is a chameleon, has been since I could first summon one. I don't know how George lost his ear, I didn't know he did, actually. I was taken before that, and I think he was, too, because he has his ear. Snuffles? I don't have a clue, sorry."

She sighed and tried again. "Look, we were all taken at different times, so you probably remember things that never happened for us. Yes, Snape and Fred and George are all here, and no, you're not dead." She rolled her eyes again, but was still smiling. "Bloody hell, I don't know what it is with Ginny looking people and their obsessions with death. I'm not dead, I left before that happened..." She frowned. "Wait. Remus? Why did we have a funeral together?" That was a little tidbit she hadn't learned from the other Ginny.
