Summary: Ginny learns a new trick.
Ginny wrinkled her nose when the wind blew a hank of her hair into her face. She hoped that another shower would take away the rest of the smell from Ernie Macmillan's cauldron explosion that morning. She'd been sitting in front of Ernie and had taken the brunt of the disaster. Madam Pomfrey had healed the burns straight away but she'd lost about six inches of her ponytail in the process and what hair she had left smelled ghastly despite two shampoos in the infirmary's shower. Oh, well. It could have been worse. Ernie lost his eyebrows. She wondered if she had enough Galleons saved to replace her ruined robes with new ones. No, she thought, shaking her head. The two new ones she bought with the gold remaining after she'd bought her broom were enough. She'd visit the second hand shop. Something already worn was fine for Potions, Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. That's why she always wore her old ones to those classes. It didn't hurt as much if something happened.
She entered the front gate and waved to the old man who took care of the gardens and the did the maintenance. Normally, Ginny would stop to chat with him for a few minutes but she did want a shower. That idea went completely out of her head, however, when she spied Wayne bouncing a white and black ball on his knees. She didn't see his wand anywhere and she wondered how he managed it. Wandering over to watch, Ginny cocked her head tried to figure out how it was done but she couldn't make it out. "How do you keep it from bouncing off in every direction?"
