As usual it was breakfast, when the owls came in through the ceiling. Ginny's face brightened up,when she had seen Hermione's personal owl. Ginny was talking to her friends, when the owl landed on the table.

Ginny,

I’ll be at Hogwarts tonight to talk to you about your birthday. Meet me in the Head Common Room. Can’t wait to see ya.

-Mione

Ginny read the letter from Hermione, she had a smile from ear to ear.
" Who's it from Ginny?" Alex asked. Alex, a fellow Gryffindor is one of Ginny's best friends, and Head Boy.
" It's from one of my friends that graduated last year." Ginny said putting the letter into her pocket, " She wants to talk to me, this evening, about my birthday next month."
" Are you going to have a party again, this year?" asked Ginny's other shadow, Edward.
" I don't know. It depends on what my friend has planned for me."
" I guess we'll have to find out tonight then.” said Alex.

Finishing breakfast, Ginny got up, " Come on, let's get to potions, before we're late, again."
The two boys groaned, but followed her out of the Great H The The three hated walking down to the dungeons, but that was where the potions class was. They also really disliked the new Professor. He was as bad as the last Professor.

"You know Snape was bad, but since retirement, this one we have nis ais a real bastard." proclaimed Edward.
" I know what you mean, if I didn't know that Voldemort was actually dead, I would think this Professor was him in disguise." said Ginny. The three of them were laughing at the last statement.
" Well. I'm glad I meet your approval." It was the southern Texas drawl of the new Potion Master, Professor Thomas Taylor.
With the three children scared shitless, they finally found their seats.

Professor Taylor is a man about six feet, five inches tall. Long blonde hair that always hung loose, just past his shoulders. His eyes are of the deepest green jade, but you would swear they changed to gray, when he gets excited or mad. Right now he was just amused. He had a certain grace to him.

Thomas Taylor, being from Texas, always wore, blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a dress shirt. He would wear leather-teaching robes. Since he didn't graduate from Hogwarts, he really doesn't play house favorites. If he did come from Hogwarts, he would've been in Ravenclaw. He is really smart, determined, and really sexy.

The rest of the day seemed to drag on slowly. All their classes seemed to drag. Even Ginny's favorite class, Transfigurations with Professor McGonagall. It was Minerva's great niece, Mandy McGonagall. Ginny realized the reason the day was going slow, was because Hermione was coming to talk to her, tonight.

Finally after supper, Ginny raced up to her common room, and Hermione was waiting for her.
" Hermione it is so good to see you!" Ginny said, while hugging the older witch.
" It's good to see you too, but I need to ask you a question." The two witches sat on one of the couches. Hermione conjured a tea setting, and some cookies, and they proceeded to talk while the fire warmed the room.

" What did you want to ask me?" Ginny asked.
" I know your eighteenth birthday is next month, and..." Hermione stopped, like she was trying to figure out how to ask restrest of the question.
" Well go on ask." Ginny asked with a puzzled look.
“.... Well Draco, Harry, Ron, and I wanted to know if you would like to celebrate it at the magazine?" Hermione let out a breath when she was done. Ginny sat for a few minutes thinking, "Can I bring some of my friends?"
" First let me ask you another question?" Hermione stated, before she lost the momentum for the question.
" O.k."
"How would you like to pose for the magazine?"
" Umm..." It took Ginny about ten minutes of silence and deep thought, before she finally answered. " Who will take the pictures?"
" Me of course" Ginny looked at her seriously. " Hermione, you know I love you, but..." Ginny trailed off, Hermione knew what the younger witch was about to say next.
" Ginny, I know what you’re thinking, but the only Weasley I want is your brother."
"O.I'llI'll do it, but what will mum, dad, and Dumbledore say?" Ginny questioned.
" You just leave them to me."

" Who's idea was it to have me do this?" The redhead asked.
" I don't think you want to know. " Hermione was nervous, to answer.
" Well, who was it... Hermione...I'm not going to ask again." Ginny was getting flustered
" O.k. O.k., It was Draco's idea,” said Hermione, sounding harassed.
" Oh my god...I hope he won't be watching the shoot." Stated the Head Girl, a slight blush coming to her ears.
" He won't be watching, but he does have a say in which pictures we will be using."
" Why? I thought you were all equal partners?"
" We are, but we all have to look over all the pictures, just so we agree which ones will look good in the magazine." Hermione informed her.

" Oh no! That means my brother and Harry will see them too." Ginny was really starting to doubt her decision by now.
" Ginny what makes the difference if they see them before or after the magazine is out?"
" I guess I won't be inviting my two best friends to come along, now will I?"
" Only if you don't want them to." Hermione was beginning to think Ginny was going to change her mind. Until Ginny looked her right in the eyes
" O.k., but I want to be there when you guys look over my pictures."
" That can be arranged." Hermione answered with a smile.
" I want the first copy, so I can show Alex and Edward before everyone else has a chance to see the pictures."
" That too can be arranged."
" One more thing, I would like you tofor for me." Ginny was playing with the hem of her skirt.
" Anything." Hermione answered.
" I have this fantasy room, with silk and satin hangings, on the windows, and on a king size bed. The bedclothes were also silk and satin." Hermione listened closely, as Ginny was telling her about the room she wanted for the photo shoot.

" I think I can conjure a room like that. Do you want me to take the pictures? Do you still want to invite your friends? We can have a birthday party for you after the shoot." Ginny thought for a minute. "Yeah.. o.k. I might let them watch." Ginny said with a playful grin." Oh. Tell Harry that you want his invisibility cloak. I don't want any uninvited guest." Ginny was giggling when she mentioned Harry's cloak.
" I forgot he had that thing. I'm sure him and Draco had that in mind. I'll tell him to hand it over, before i come and get you and your friends."
" Good."

Ginny was still sitting in the common room, when Alex came in through the portrait guarding the entrance; of course he had Edward with him. Hermione had just passed them on her way out. Alex asked Ginny. " Who was that vision of loveliness, you were talking to?"
" That was one of my brothers friends, she graduated last year."
" Wow! I didn't recognize her." said Edward.
" She was Head Girl last year."
" That was Hermione Granger?" exclaimed Alex.
" Sure was. She is part owner of 'Wizards and Witches' "
" We read that.... umm, just for the articles though." Both boys had a sheepish smile.
" Do you know who the other owners are?" asked Edward.
" Yes. Mytherther, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy."
" I know they help defeat the Dark Lord, but they're in business together?" asked Alex
" Oh, yeah. Draco put up the money, since his dad Lucius is dead. Then the others bought their share from him, when they made enough money."
" Cool!" said both boys.

The three friends sat in the common and and studied, seemed like forever, but it was only for an hour. Alex asked, " Do you know who does the photography for the magazine?"
" They all do, that way, it saves money, and they don't have to hire anyone."

Ginny sat on the couch, just starring at the fire. She came out and asked quickly, " How would you guys like to go with me to the magazine, and celebrate my birthday, and my photo shoot?" Both boys had a look of shock; all they could do was nod their heads in a silent 'yes' manner.
